How are your factories going fellas? :marseydramautist:

https://i.rdrama.net/images/173006403251699.webp

I just made my first batch of yellow science.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/17300640329908705.webp

Blue circuit production and various other things.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1730064033496393.webp

Red circuit production with uranium processing barely visible on the left.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/17300640341396468.webp

Green circuits (yes I am aware this is nowhere near enough production), science :marseyscientist:, my early coal power, and my newly minted nuclear reactor.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/17300640346113272.webp

Solar power and accumulators. The scale is completely unnecessary now that I have nuclear power up and running but it will be useful again some day.

Smelting setup for a double line of copper plates.

Fluid processing. I haven't played in a while but fluid processing seems a lot easier than I remember. I spent like half an hour setting it up and since then I have barely had to even think about it.

If I had some way to translate Factorio autism into kitty I would do it immediately.

It translates well into becoming a codecel with the mandatory asian gf or becoming the gf

I want to have a qt Asian gf so bad. Qt Asian grils are so cute, and sometimes I just really want to hold their hands, or touch their face. I'm alone in my place and I have anime girl posters all over in my room. My heart melt a little whenever I see those cute anime girls smiling at me with their soft, tender eyes, but deep down I still know they're just pictures. I want a real girl who is cute and can actually react to things I say, cheer me up when I'm down, who can breathe and is warm to hold in my arms.

More importantly, I started to realize that without a qt asian gril my life is meaningless. I'm told I need to get into a good uni, I need to maintain a high average, i need suffer through the pain of going through all the leetcode, and get good coops, and finally I need to get a job at a FAANG company earning 200k. But so what, even if I earn 200k, instead of 80k or something at a medium company? So that I can drive a BMW instead of a Honda Accord? So that I can live in a luxury apartment instead of a studio? I have literally no interest in those stuff. A Honda and a BMW is the same to me, so is a studio or a house. I'm told to work so hard towards stuff I literally don't want and don't need either. I spend 90% of my time trying to get a 200k job, while a 80k job can satisfy me just the same, and requires much less effort.

What do I want then? A qt Asian gril. A qt Asian gril who's moderately cute in appearance (most are), and who can understand me and loves me. That's all. She doesn't even have to be smart or have a cali job. That's trivial. With a qt Asian gril, my life will be filled with purpose again. I'm an only child, from a big city where people don't connect with each other, and I'm not so close with my parents. In childhood, I've always felt alone in this world. That hasn't changed since coming here. Friends come and go. After the terms is over, I seldom contact or get contacted by any of them again. I feel like something replaceable. I'm a replaceable student, a replaceable intern, a replaceable lab assistant, a replaceable friend. But with a qt Asian gf, I will have someone to love, to protect. I'll know what it's like to be cherished by someone. I'll know that I'm this girl's one and only boyfriend, and potentially future husband, and have the responsibility to keep her happy that I can share with no one. I will have a purpose in life. Weekends and holidays will actually be joyful, not dreadfully boring. I can come home every day not facing a dark and empty room, but to a cute girl whose eyes are filled with tender love. Money or leetcode or grades or cali job offer, they mean nothing to me. If can choose, I would rather be born in a much poorer family, or as a person with less academic talent, but with a qt Asian gf who can understand me and loves me. I really don't want to be alone anymore.

Just shut it off for dinner but I'm getting the hang of trains. Of course, I completely forgot about space belts and spent WAY too long trying to figure out how to arrange my trains to have red circles and green paint delivered, then the final shape shipped off to the vortex. Stupid me, just use a space belt to a separate Export train line

Unlocking the direct-to-vortex train perk is a gamechanger. I don't even have anything going on at the vortex, it all gets done offshore and delivered straight in

I'm getting the hang of trains

This took me forever. I dunno what it was, but I just could not grasp how train signalling worked. Then I suddenly got it and realized it's actually pretty simple.

I think this is my most complex section rn, repeated three times on that asteroid.

My standard method is to have a single track that goes the whole way along the chain and to the vertex, but have little spurs where a given color needs to reverse (like green and blue seen here). White will be allowed to continue straight, all the way to the vortex. I don't actually have a white train set up yet because I want to finish the pinned tasks before delivering the milestone shape.

Yeah, the last time I played what I did was have a huge loop around my base like a ring road and then have lines from there out to each of my mines. It worked well enough at least for me to launch the rocket.

It is interesting how factory autism can be divided in three distinct groups; outer loop, spiderweb, and central line

  • DickButtKiss : game looks great just these screenshots are bad

Jesus this looks abysmal. I'm an absolute sperg when it comes to resource management games though. So tell me, is this game worth it?

I've been playing shapez 2 which is a much more toned down factory game. No stakes, go at your own pace, no penalties for messing up

It's zoomed out and I scaled down the resolution so each image wasn't 15MB. It looks a lot better than the screenshots would imply.

So tell me, is this game worth it?

It's one of the OGs and still one of the best.

Do you do all the math to calculate what you'll need?

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

No I am very laissez-faire with my manufacturing. I take a guess at what I'll need and throw down assemblers lol. If I seriously underestimate how much I'll need of a resource or item I'll rework it to fix it if it's important but most of the time if the ratios are a bit off I'll just leave it how it is.

For the bus I just kinda know from experience which resources and how many lanes of each I'll need for my initial base.
