You guys enjoying the new Factorio update? Having fun with the uranium?

My only complaint is it should be lethal. Nukes should leave a radioactive wasteland as well.

nukes should be nastier for sure, i feel like they should be something you can't fire from a shoulder but should instead require a missile launch facility in your base and then you'd paint the target a-la starcraft ghosts after it launches.

definitely needs a mushroom cloud and a radioactive fallout component, maybe something that gets windswept over ayys and ups their evolution by a big chunk.

>>175486759
I think the evolution factor should be split between pollution, which will piss them off and cause more spawning/base generation; and radiation, which causes bigger and more various types of biters.

Seriously, why do they still only have two types that have the same basic attack pattern? Could be so much more interesting.

Literally the rlentire point of headers, which are different than stock exhaust manifolds, is to smooth out the airflow and tune the lengths of each pipe so that each cylinder's exhaust pressures wave enters the main exhaust pipe separately.

>>175486318
>Nukes should leave a radioactive wasteland as well.

I have the intent to make a disasters mod when factorio is at a stable release again.
The pollution cloud mechanics stay the same, the only things i'd add would be certain disasters which get triggered at certain pollution production points, and then a few mechanics which support that.

Electric miner, belt, yellow inserter, offshore/boiler/engine, power poles... Basic setup. The pollution cloud would be identical to vanilla; but the mod would add types of pollution the cloud is made up of would change based on how much of what you used.

If you used 200 belts to get your coal to the boiler (because it's far away) the majority % of the cloud would be "Dust" and "Noise"
If you used 200 pipes to get your water to the boiler (because the boiler is next to the coal miner) then the % would be "Rust" and "Water Contamination"
Pollution cloud the same size and still uniform red, just the mod having something to check for disaster types.

Lets say if Water Contamination gets too high, a fish in a pond in the pollution cloud would be killed randomly, just like a tree would be from dust, just like the biters would attack due to noise or stinky sulphur from burning hydrocarbons, etc.

The ultimate disasters would be acid rain from too much water vapor and sulphur release, water being erased inside the pollution cloud from over-pumping (free+easy landfill though) and possibly earthquakes that damage every machine in (several) chunks from extreme oil pumping.
worst of all, the poison cloud effect simulating unbreathable air/radiation, basically requiring energy shields.

you could also build a few things to mitigate disasters, such as building on stone/concrete, building overhead shelter, fire extinguisher sprinklers, etc.

i hope that in the future they upgrade the nukes to proper nukes and add biter interactions that make you actually need the things. i tend to keep 6-8 turrets in my inventory throughout the game incase a breach in the defenses occurs and i need to quickly drop more firepower to prevent ayys from raping the factory, it'd be nice to have a nuclear fallback option.

Blame the furry guy, Its default richeness.

I don't understand what people are talking about when they say "slider hell".

Take FtD for example: To make a bullet you need to interact with like 4 different menus. Caliber on the gun, ammo loader on the dinky thing on the clip, the bullet itself, AND the length of the bullet or you fuck it all up.

How about: you build a gun, then say:

Build your shell:
Head type: (armor piercing, composite, laser guided (requires fins on the end), shaped charge, etc.)
Fuse: (timed, distance, penetration depth, distance from target/radar, etc)
Payload 1:(HE, shrapnel, EMP, Chemical, Incendiary, etc.)
payload 1 % of volume
Payload 2:(same)
Payload 2 % of volume
Additional shit: (check box: fins, tracer, rocket assisted, etc)

Total caliber:
Total bullet length:
Powder Length:
(if you set two of these, the third will auto-set to be as much as possible for the length of your autoloaders, but you can manually set it to less)

This is easier to balance, simpler to use in game, and just better.

Explain to me why I'm dumb and this is a terrible idea.

>>175512747

>>175521018

its a shit idea because everything that isn't a high speed AP railgun round that instantly disables AI is useless.

it's also that element of choice thing, infinite choices just means that the handful of viable ones are clouded within an ocean of garbage. it'd be better if it was just the handful of viable bullets as a checkbox for which one you wanted.

>>175521702
>its a shit idea because everything that isn't a high speed AP railgun round that instantly disables AI is useless.
Which is easily fixed by different levels of armor deflecting projectiles by different amounts.

Or you know: making the math on high speed projectiles and Kinetic damage make some fucking sense.

>>175521816

still doesn't fix it, the only actual solution to FtD is making AI invincible and limiting it to a certain number of AIs per X blocks, then making the craft 'defeated' if certain criteria are met (ship sinks, 60% or more blocks destroyed, all weapons disabled, etc).

you can keep tweaking the armor/damage numbers forever, the best gun will still always be the one that can penetrate and destroy the AI. if it needs to be faster or bigger gauge or whatever, that's what will be used.

i dunno, i find it hard to reliably take out an ai on anything, and usually its when either the cannons or ammo are destroyed that the battle is decided.

right now id say that we need ftd to build on top of the radar and detection systems to actually have a sense of recon and strategic targeting that is more greatly affected by the sensors. right now we have a whole lotta fluff with a narrow affect on gameplay. also we need more joints for mechanized systems, like a piston for sliding bay doors, ans better ways to reinforce weakpoints.

it isn't impossible but it also depends on what you mean

sure a giant battleship or even a reasonable tonnage smaller ship will be nearly impossible to hide at close ranges.

but if you're, say, that same smaller tonnage ship in an orbit around saturn, or in interplanetary space at an odd angle to the ecliptic, or a variety of other scenarios one can image where the sensor array and the "stealth" ship are far apart, the stealth aspect might matter being small and low heat enough to be hard to see at interplanetary distances doesn't mean you're invisible, but it may make the difference between, say, entering the soi of a body before being detected vs being detected many millions more miles out. and depending on the goal of the stealth ship that might make the difference.

Surely that just defers the problem and eventually you'd have too much uranium ammo though?

Then use the oil to make solid fuel, with which you fuel your steel furnaces.
With a few productivity modules, you'll be increasing the fuel value significantly.
If you want to go full ham, make rocket fuel instead.

Might post some screenshots here, but that's not really the point. Not sure if you noticed, but Factorio is largely a sandbox game in which you set your own goals. The devs have helpfully provided a list of possible goals, under the menu that they call "achievements".

>>175615779
More in a philosophical sense. Do achievements usually drive your desire to play games?

>>175615978
No. Like I said, the shiny achievement badge isn't really the point. I looked at the list and figured that this set of 5 objectives would make for interesting gameplay. If there weren't any interesting goals on the achievement list, then I would have made something up myself.

Its shit 99% of the time. Everything about the game is bad in some way due to the devs being fucking idiots.

SMGs had a max range of 150 meters back then. That's an era when flyers were actually fun and viable, and air control was important. Or else you'd have flyers dropping in and out of your max range above you while the enemy ground shot you as well.

Has anyone figured out how long it would take to beat factorio by crafting everything by hand?

>>175629075
You can't craft many of the midgame/lategame stuff by hand my man

>>175629075
A long time.
Just kidding, about tree fiddy.

No.

>>175629075
do the fucking math yourself?

The rocket itself needs 1000 of each the rocket fuel, low density unit, and control units. Each cost 30 seconds, so far (1000*3*30)=90,000 or 25 hours just for the direct ingredients.

Lucky most of the direct ingredients to those come directly from furnaces(Copper/Steel) or Chemical factories(Plastic, solid fuel), but the Control Unit gets tricky, you need Speed Module 1 (15 seconds each, 4 hours, 10 minuets), and the ingredients to put into the Speed card and the Processing Unit: 20+5 green cards and 2+5 red Cards(adding another 2 green cards for each) for each Control Unit. For a total of (27000*.5+7000*6)=15 hours and 2 minuets. Don't forget the copper wires for each(27000*3*.25+7000*2*.25)=another 7 hours, 34 minuets, 10 seconds

For a total of 51 hours, 46 minuets, 10 seconds. Just for the rocket. Good luck, not gonna bother with the calculations for all the science needed to get their too.

I just want a game where I can spend years building a fully functional and advanced Ring World. Is that too much to ask.

>>175637739
Yes, it's too niche.

You have to make the game yourself anon.

>>175637739
hmm
to make ring worlds worthwhile in a world where terraforming exists, they'd have to somehow minimize the ability of FTL travel... perhaps... by the removal of FTL travel...
therefore there's a clear and distinct advantage in keeping your ring world empire compact rather than expanding through limitless colonization outwards

>>175637890
Not a specific game where you build a ring world, but a building/engineering game where I CAN build one. With all the crazy as shit tech available to stick into it.

>>175638031
Then you'll have to make that game, good luck.
