Yep

radiant galleon
#

this one lone spitter is just staring into the lake instead of going near the turrets

#

oop it died rdwut

slender storm
#

It was coming to terms with its fate

radiant galleon
#

I'm almost done with building and fully outfitting a 2nd mobile space platform
Both platforms should be fully inner-planet capable and both are pre-loaded with the materials to build a rocket silo and 4 rockets immediately upon arrival to a new planet

slender storm
#

Hype

#

Will join y'all for the expedition to the next planet, so just ping me when that happens

#

Also I figured out what was going on with the save file

#

There's a subtle bug in my launcher script that I need to fix. It's not a problem, so it's not urgent, but I'd have to take the server down for a few minutes to fix it.

radiant galleon
#

iirc we talked about going to Vulcanus first
Turbo (green) belts and artillery are locked behind Vulcanus's science pack

slender storm
#

Sounds good to me pippwiggle

dire trout
#

we're gearing up for it whenever the rockets are done sending supplies up, maybe 20 minutes, if you're available

slender storm
#

Yep, I'll be around

radiant galleon
#

cool, i'll update here once the platforms have been fully supplied and are ready to ship out

#

it takes a lot of materials to build the silo and 4 rockets wheeze

#

1k concrete, 1k steel, 100 pipes, 400 blue circuits, 200 electric motors, 200 low density structures, and 200 rocket fuel

radiant galleon
#

Onwards, to Vulcanus!

frozen moss

Enjoy the limitless metals

slender storm
#

Sorry for dropping out. Had to head off to bed. starlightexhausted

dire trout
#

no worries

placid coral
#

Understandable.

radiant galleon
#

Steel printing time woo

radiant galleon
#

Iron, steel, and copper, just freely printing away

radiant galleon
#

iron, steel, copper, copper wire, pipes, and gears all being foundry cast, and green circuits, solar panels, and accumulators in production.

#

solar field, bot built. did i mention we already have robots?

radiant galleon
#

wheeze i see lmao
apparently i have a mutual server with the person who posted it there

#

I'm surprised you didn't post it here given the amusing relevance

radiant galleon
#

significant progress has been made on Vulcanus pippwiggle
however, now is sleep time

dire trout
#

oh no it's past 5am again

radiant galleon
dire trout
#

next is to start preparing to kill worms

dusty niche
#

🪱

dire trout
#

then once we get big mining drills we can set up orange science and build the silo

#

then once sufficient means of making rockets is made, then we can get a space platform automatically shuttling back and forth

slender storm
#

I’ve addressed the issue with the server’s scripts. Save rollbacks will now work as expected in the future, should they be needed.

@radiant galleon @slender storm are y'all up for more vulcanus adventures?

radiant galleon
#

sure, I can be on in 45 min or so

slender storm
#

Yep, I can join in shortly

slender storm
#

If by "shortly" I meant "after a handful of things unexpectedly pop up and needed immediate attention" then my estimate was accurate

#

worm is dead crabrave

radiant galleon

radiant galleon
#

several worms have been murdered 🪱 fettiknife

frozen moss
radiant galleon
#

the small worms are stupidly easy to kill with the proper worm bait

frozen moss
#

A field of poison capsules is their kryptonite. Instantly breaks through their regen ability, allowing the gun turrets to shred them to bits.

radiant galleon
#

not even
this is all it takes for up to a medium worm

frozen moss
#

But the tesla turrets are the real worm-zappers.

Big Demolisher gets lured by some fish,then gets absolutely demolished,what else can I say?

A few things to note for those who want to try this as well:

-You can rotate the turrets only before you place them,so make sure the turrets face towards the demolisher.(I found that the hard way during testing,the turrets will not shoot in sync and the...

156 turrets, all set to go off at once

#

but yes, electricity is their true weakness and almost necessary for the big ones

#

this whole area is now 🪱 free

dire trout
#

technically, the vulcanus factory is fully automated now, it ships orange science back to nauvis in 1k batches on its own

frozen moss
#

Vulcanus is dirt cheap to set up and automate, honestly. And it just prints metal for nothing.

#

You'll never run out of iron or copper or coal ever again

#

Also, big miners

#

Now you can mine 50% more trash per trash on Trash Planet

pine echo
#

interesting Planet...... its called Virentis

frozen moss
#

Yeah, there are some modded planets that...aren't quite up to Factorio standards, lol

rapid moth
#

Enable All Planets Mods Lite

#

If you want more planets but not be insanely dragged down by 2+dozen worlds, only have the good ones in a pack.

dire trout
#

it is mostly logistics robot based now, so sections can be moved around at will, mostly

#

also added several more roboports to provide more charging stations for bots

#

there's still more work to be done with improving the factory, mostly greatly expanding the circuit production, especially green and red

#

next planet is most likely Fulgora

slender storm
#

Whoops. Part of our rail system has been eaten and a train was destroyed

frozen moss
#

Told you guys that they don't always go after the big pollution clouds

#

Gotta defend the rail lines too

#

They'll even sometimes attack power poles to cut off the power supply to your outposts

heady fulcrum
#

Biters typically attack things that block their way or are near them, but they only target pollution producers

frozen moss
#

That's not what the biters on my worlds do, even in vanilla ppenk

#

Like, they straight up will target my rails to stop oil shipments, or electric poles to stop defenses or miners from working.

#

No mods or anything

thorn venture
#

biters basically walk straight toward pollution, but they attack anything they run into on the way

#

A bugfix update for Factorio was published today. The server has been updated accordingly.

#

bugs? we don't take kindly to bugs 🔥

gotta get on and tidy up some stuff before we're off to fulgora

Time to recycle all the things.

popping on now

evolution factor has reached 0.9

slender storm

Nothing a little application of firepower can't handle.

dire trout
#

when last we left, we got a basic factory up on fulgora

#

sushi belt city!

dire trout
#

time to resume the fulgoran adventure

dire trout
#

first shipment of pink science on its way to nauvis

#

the science facility has been redesigned a little to accomodate the extra science types

radiant galleon
dire trout
dire trout
#

tidying things up on fulgora and vulcanis

#

also increasing the blue circuit pipeline on nauvis

pine echo
#

im finally back playing and on Fulgora now, gonna set up outpost and get stuff going to help main Fulgora base

pine echo
#

chose bad island oof

slender storm
#

FYI, the Factorio server may be sluggish tonight while I move a large amount of data around.

Eventually I'll migrate the Factorio server off the NAS and onto my shiny new server.

dire trout
#

We're nearly able to go to gleba

#

Gotta tie up some loose ends on vulcanus first

#

Fulgora will be good for a bit, more scrap sources getting shipped in would be nice, but not critical; the initial island supply is pretty massive

pine echo

anyone wanna help me make the ultimate chaotic sorter?

dire trout

preparing the nauvis-gleba shuttle platform now

Good luck

oh god what do we do here FSWAAAAUGH

placid coral
#

You suffer.

dire trout
#

we got jellynut production going, next time we'll do the yamako fruits, then we'll get the central factory up once both fruits are available

frozen moss
#

Be prepared for lots of stompers. The enemies on Gleba are relentless and very tanky.

Get. Explosive. Rocket. Turrets. A line/block of those will easily stop stompers in their tracks.

New Dosh video!

#

Only a few minutes in and I can already tell he's gonna hate his life by the end of it, and also that this factory is gonna be ones of those ones where you turn it on and pray everything works because you have no idea how any of it works.

#

In other words, 10/10 video so far

maiden furnace

surprisingly, maybe

it's a good 10/10 video though yes

Did they not release 1.0?

Oh my, I missed this! Doshdoshington, my beloved manic depressive engineer, what are you up to today?

Weeeeelp, this'll be fun GlimPopcorn

frozen moss
#

...Holy shit, that was intense.

#

That "thousand yard stare" he has on the thumbnail is no joke. This mod kicked his ass. The first two Rampant videos were child's play compared to the utter nightmarish horrors and hell-born apocalyptic scenarios he found himself facing here.

He was facing suicidal NUCLEAR biters at the end that destroy his walls with explosions.

Let me say that again: the biters evolved themselves to become NUCLEAR FUCKING BOMBS so that they could destroy him.

We envision 2.1 as our last major update of Factorio, and we will shift the focus onto long term support. So things like bug fixes, platform support/compatibility, modding features, etc. Other than that we feel we've reached a good place to conclude the active gameplay development.

Okay fair enough

End of an era :<

Factworio when

frozen moss
#

Ah, damn...

#

At least they're giving it a good final sendoff

maiden furnace
#

honestly, considering the spage age expansion basically added the first half of the biggest mod for the game, I'm not sure where they'd even go after that
