Finishing up my second vanilla run, this time with biters. Finishing up more organized this time with nuclear power and a rudimentary train network. Fucking fluids ended up a mess again and I spend way too much time dealing with biters. Figuring out what the next step up in progression is. Krastorio or Space Age DLC?

My biters Strat is rush to grenade tech and some shields. Then just grenade every nest off the map

I used LTN - Logistic Train Network but if I played again I'd check out Project Cybersyn - Logistics Train Dispatcher and use it if it's still popular.

The amount of detail that goes into railway management is so incredible in Factorio. Even after playing 1k hours I was still finding ways to condense my railway stations and make them multipurpose. I'm playing a game with base building mechanics now, Arknights: Endfield and they just teleport everything, lol.

I used Cybersyn. I think I tried LTN many years ago, by Cybersyn was significantly easier to work with.

I feel so screwed. Got to my first planet, got to the surface and am happily building a base and working toward that planets science. Go check on my space platform and its completely trashed from asteroids. no way to get back to Nauvis for repairs and reinforcement. So I'm stranded and the thought of starting back from scratch is really frustrating. Fuck me man, I don't really dig the off planet shit. Its why I always petered out on DSP. Just give me more biomes and resources on my home planet.

Is this on Space Age or the Space Exploration mod?

Space Age. I had a save shortly after arriving on the planet so i sent the platform back to Nauvis while remaining on Fulgora. It took a helluva beating getting back and I will have to redesign the whole thing from the ground up to get back into space. Total restart on Fulgora but that's ok, there are some interesting problems to solve there.

Ladies and Gentleman, we did it. HAL got the beat old up rust bucket back to the home planet. The good guys back at HQ rebuilt her while I stayed on the ground getting EM science up and running. She's a thicc bitch, but she's chewing up those asteroids like Little Debbies. Safely made it back to pick me up and also grab a nice load of pink science.

I always use filters and separate belts on my space grabbies. Otherwise the belts get loaded up with stuff I don't need 🫠

Nice. It's those triumphant returns after an unexpected setback that turn the game from simply following the recipe book into a real adventure. Congratulations.

Ya I gotta figure out a better design for the grabbies. That little sushi belt is always getting clogged.

Three belt bus on the space platform for grabbies. Ice, coal, iron. Fourth belt for ammo.

Gonna also need accumulators for this stage because the further you get from nauv the less sun you get. I think after that solar won't even work,???
