It's been a month since the Factorio DLC dropped. Giga !neurodivergents and !g*mers, how far have you gotten?

The most neurodivergent game ever since Dwarf Fortress dropped a new DLC to go into space and I must know how your factories are going.

I started a new save file. Got to Vulcanus, found it terrifically easy to set up huge chip production, I export most of my shit from there.

Went to Fulgora next. Figuring out how to fot a train station on the tiny scrap islands woth millions of scrap was fun. Despite Gleba existing I found Fulgora the most annoying, trying to manage the output of the scrap frustrating. My filter system is constantly backing up with gears and ice cubes and I wish there was a chest that would just delete items put into it. Needed the lightning turrets from here to kill the medium worms on Vulcanus.

I finally re-arranged my space platform to have enough furnaces to have max ammo all the time, making flying between planets way safer. I also was forced to use circuits and I begrudgingly enjoy it.

Got to Gleba recently. Several key components of this planet are not communicated well, like how to add new farmable plots or which spots are farmable in the first place. Using bots for everything and never using a belt, so nothing backs up, was key. The most fun part of this planet is figuring out how to bleed off your excess production of pentagon eggs into your science production while still keeping the pentapod duplicators infinitely stocked.

>Most challenges in Factorio have to do with logistics

Isn't that a challenge as result of procgen? You know, having to build around the generation.

ehhhhhh. Only kinda sorta. The game makes a point of throwing new twists into the formula (ie concrete) so that you have to route stuff around in awkward ways. Plus, you know, the whole scaling up thing tends to throw a wrench into the best laid plans.
