factorio space exploration

[Rigel]

I'm not autistic enough for this game. When I did Space Exploration with my friends, we managed to get to space and start harvesting a few asteroids and a planet for resources but interest petered out and the bugs were almost too strong to manage.

you're thinking of space age. space exploration doesnt have asteroid collecting for resources.

You effectively beat the base game that means, it took me a few attempts to actually get to that point without burning out and then I took a couple years off until the expansion came out.

Tiers go like this:

Red/Blue - Scrub
The Blue science skill filter - Beginner
Vanilla/Space age Rocket Launch (Beating the game) - Intermediate
Space Age completion - Knowledgeable
Space Exploration - Advanced
Pyanodon - Autism

rocket is a lot easier in space age - you dont need to do purple or yellow science to launch a rocket. so not quite the same experience as vanilla

Ehh fair, I haven't played vanilla in a very long time.


Cube update, feeling more comfortable with city blocks/this train system so I'm seeing how sections effect traffic at this point, haven't even signaled the connector and it works well enough. nauvis science is getting finished up... for the fifth and final(tm) time.

can you build a swastika base

can you build a swastika base

no, national socialists are bad at production/logistics

Ah, that's the one. Sentiment still stands though, my job on the server was fiddling with fluids and making explosives. I did eventually make trains, but it was a simple one-line loop and not a complex thing with intersections.

You know who wasn't bad at logistics? The Americans, god's chosen people! I hope each of your oil depots are fully stocked with burgers and ice cream.

This makes trains easy

edit:

but as you use many trains, it leads to many accidents and the trains begin to get snarky with numbers and mock you.
