I have already researched everything to work with what I have. How to I unlock the next level of stuff, for example to build electric furnaces, and assembling machine 3. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!! 🤓

Make more science

#

Note
You dont need much quantity
Just get a bit of every science you can automated

#

Also btw electric furnaces is pretty strictly a downgrade if you're using boiler power bcause its same speed its larger, and it doubles fuel demand

#

The benefits of electric furnaces are nuclear and solar can power it instead of only burnables, and it accepts modules

So, for now stick with steel furnaces, using coal, and I have only red and green science automated.

If you wanna go more then the 5,6,5,12,7,7 ratio is there for ya

Only advise I can add is not to use buffers.

#

Ohh yea
Only things that should go into chests is a stack or two of an jtem for personal use

#

And don't put those back into the belt

Genuinely you likely don't need as much ammo as you think
Also try to get military and blue sci up then research flamers

They've been widely regarded as op

I noticed that I do not have oil processing so I guess I have to find oil and manually dig it up?

"manually" means you find a source and place a pumpjack
don't forget power
You can use a solar panel, but that voids an achievement. You'll have to drag a power line if you want to keep it.

You can't manually mine fluids

sand epoch
#

ah...so if I find oil then build a pump jack and go man go...and I guess other items will open up to build and stuff

When in doubt
Look at research

#

That is 100% of factorios progression

#

Nothing you do with progression isnt there and nothing there isn't progression of some form

Yeah the tech tree is super integral to factorio

#

Science packs are the main product of the factory, and the tree itself shows you how to reach anything you want/need

#

Just follow it step by step and pack per pack
