Server is now UP:


factorio.kissu.moe:34197


Legacy OP text We're fast-approaching the time of year where plenty of people are available, and there's a lull in media content to keep people entertained. So, I was thinking it'd be a great time to start up a Factorio server and play with Kissu! The plan is to play on a really big modpack known as Space Exploration which should ensure the server lasts a long while, and also that every person can be helpful even if they're new and it's late into the game. You see, this particular Factorio modpack revamps and expands Factorio beyond the typical endgame where you need to build a rocket out of the world, to where you will now need to escape the entire stellar cluster! Utilizing multiple planets and a space base in the process to reach this goal, Space Exploration forces the players to learn every aspect of it to keep their factory properly running. Especially with the added feature of bot decay which really changes the dynamic of the late game.

With all that said, I think it'd be good to get a head start and begin to discuss things related to Factorio related to optimizing Factories, or maybe even teaching new players/people that want to test things out how it all works. There's a lot to learn about the game and it can make it feel a bit daunting to new people at the start, so if you want to try starting up a world and seeing what makes sense and what doesn't initially I highly recommend it! Also remember that the server will be a group effort so there's no need to worry if you're not particularly good at one aspect since others should be able to help out as well!


FACTORIO SPACE AGE UPDATE!!!!


So it's been over a year since the expansion was announced on the Friday facts for Factorio >>113631 and ever since every Friday the team has had blog posts giving updates on the content and changes of the expansion. Some of them extremely promising and posted in this thread like >>114141 that shows how completely reworked everything is being to make base building an even more enjoyable experience than before. With that all coming to fruition monday, and the main theme of this thread's mod encompassing the expansion's theme. I think it's about time to start up the kissu factorio server again! This time we're not stopping until we beat the game.

Given the amount of new content and world management there looks to be in this expansion I think we'll have plenty of things for people to work on whenever to the effect that nobody will ever be left behind like in other games such as Terraria/Core Keeper, so it's NOT vital that you join in on the first day if that's a worry for you. We'll always need someone to upkeep train lines, expansion to different resources, bug extermination, and power maintanence. Then once we get to exploring different worlds we'll certainly be needing a lot of hands to make sure that the bases are all well defended and production flow is keeping up with demand.

I'll be available in the steam chat ( https://s.team/chat/NUIbnP7U ) to give anyone who may want to try out the game a copy, or you can pirate it if necessary.

Ohh, I think someone linked some guy playing this and he was saying how convoluted and expansive it was. Checking my bookmarks, yep, it was this one.
I'm not sure if I have the brain for this. I like building things, but on the creative side of stuff and not the functional one. Is there anything like that, or is it mostly about efficiency and goals?

It is fairly complex, I won't deny that. But, in comparison to the endgame it starts off quite simple and easy to pick up. Early on you just need to follow a setup similar to what I have laid out in this image so that you can get your factory up and started (I recommend if you want to test it out yourself doing so in peaceful mode). First things to prioritize should be the iron miners first so you can more easily make a larger quantity of miners (a miner on stone would probably help this too), once you get enough materials to make ~4, then you go to the coal and construct the ring like I have in pic related. Next off you get the copper and then once you're in a comfortable spot you can start to make electricity to power your base.

First off you make some water pumps and pipes to extract water from a nearby lake/ocean, and then once that's done you make boilers and attach ~2 steam engines to each for maximum efficiency. 4 boilers should be a good starting point. Then once you've stockpiled a bit of wood and copper you can start to make electricity poles to transfer the electricity you're making from your generator, you can begin to make electric tools like electric mining drills that mine resources without as much pollution

>>100575
Something to be noted about this screenshot that I didn't mention was the mini defense system I built, because I caused a bit too much pollution and nearby biters were sending raids into my factory. If you're not playing on a peaceful world for your first test (which you should), you may want to be wary of how close the biter nests are to you and if there's any forests separating them from your factory. Since biters are attracted to and grow from pollution, it's a nice thing to have some trees nearby that'll somewhat block the pollution from enraging the biters. But if you're in a less forested area, one of the main things you're going to want to focus on from the start is getting defenses set up and an ammo supply chain going to fill your turrets with ammo automatically. It's important to focus on this first in a "death world" like I was playing on since the biters will waste no time in forming groups to attack around once you've started up lab production.

In some sense there's an element of beauty to making the most efficient and clean factory. While aesthetics may not be the primary end goal, restructuring/pre-planning bases to remove clutter or promote organization is actually quite helpful in the long term.

I can't tell you how many times I've played this and ended up with a giant mess at the end which I can only patch up messily with additions to create the next step of materials I need to construct.

Going around cleansing the planets of Aliens is a very important task for growing the factory, and the factory must always grow. So there are always aliens to exterminate. As the game progresses the ways you'll be able to cleanse planets become even cooler, so exterminatus is a valid role to play.

So I've properly set up train hubs for the main materials on the home planet. Each with refueling stations for each size of train (varying from 2 Cargo to 4, others shouldn't be used anyways).

If anyone wants to hook up a new deposit or gathering train to these hubs then the method to use should be: -Select the refueling station of the hub corresponding to the train size and what the purpose will be
-Select a stop condition of "5 seconds of inactivity" -Then after the refueling station have the train go to the gathering/deposit station.

This way hub trains should always be fueled and not interrupt the flow of resources.

There may be hope for kissu's space adventure's yet. An expansion for factorio is in the works and kovarex is collaborating with the maker of the Space Exploration mod to make it.

Some key notes that kissu should take into account
¥Game Length: Space Exploration is a long-form adventure designed for players to gradually uncover many interconnected challenges over 150-500 hours (or more). Space Age challenges are more streamlined and self-contained for a faster pace of 60-100 hours (rough estimate).
¥Space Age has a lot of different challenges but they never get too extreme and the usage of combinators is quite lightweight, so we expect that most players will be able to complete it.
So the expansion will be essentially a more simple version of space exploration baked into the vanilla game. Hopefully meaning that we don't get stuck like we did trying to play the later parts of SE that just became a complicated drag that would require us to rebuild entire bases to fix.

Also worthy of note is this https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-375, when we do Space Age I don't want a SINGLE structure that isn't legendary quality.

 No.113632

ALSO
¥Examples of things that will be in the 2.0 update are: the ability to control train systems better, better blueprint building, better flying robot behaviour and many more. It will all be covered in more details in future FFFs

The smarter robots were already elaborated on in https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-374 so I can't wait to see what they have in store for trains because I wanted to tear my hair out sometimes trying to fix them.

Neat.

>I wanted to tear my hair out sometimes trying to fix them.
A lot of the issues comes from running multiple trainsets that of differing lengths. One of the bigger issues is with distance between signals. If a backup exists up to a signal station, eventually a train will get stuck in an intersection depending on how the intersection signals are configured.

>>113633
>running multiple trainsets that of differing lengths
Yeah, I think I realized this too late, and by the time we approached fixing it the entire base was a huge labyrinth of trains and connections that needed to be redone from the ground up in a more organized fashion, and that base was just too big to really tackle without it being at least a week's worth of effort. Think we need to plan for scalability from the getgo next time and instead of giant belts, we plan for a train system and get that started immediately once we can. Should lead to a much more productive base.

Yeah it's lovely, and looking at what else they were talking about with the improved signal placement makes me extremely excited to get back into the game once this expansion comes out. It's going to save so much headache-inducing brute forcing of railroads...

After having read the blog post on it and thinking really hard about it, I actually really like the system. Especially when I read the line that basically made one of the points I'd make for me:
>It plays nicely with the space platform building part, as the space on the platform is quite limited and expensive, it is very efficient to save the best stuff you have for the platform, at least in the beginning

Since the next expansion is a mini space exploration, quality seriously helps with setting up new planets and quickly popping out a new world base. Also if you pay attention to the notes about quality, it only adds benefit to existing buildings, it doesn't actually detract from the existing functionality of stuff so you could play completely ignoring it and have no difference in experience from playing regularly. But now instead of needing to worry about quickly sucking dry the resources of a new planet that we're trying to expand to we can see instead a way to keep bases a bit more compact for a while and not need to make a labyrinth out of each.
>Mining drills deplete resources slower
>4 Legendary productivity modules in an an assembling machine 3 gives +100% productivity bonus (it was +40% before). Since this multiplies in multi-step production chains, the overall factory productivity gets quite a big boost
This could seriously improve the longevity of a small outpost on a new planet. Also assuming they add the planetary drill from SE then this could be used to make that an even more viable strategy. I can already picture an endgame setup where your space platform has a large quality factory on it taking resources from the many planets you've colonized and there you use it to craft legendary quality materials for your most important facilities (like previously mentioned world drills)

On the topic of things I'd really like to see added in the expansion, I think an expansion on the current enemy variety could be cool. Especially so if it's worked into the planetary exploration part of the game where different planets could potentially have different species on them and the world you spawn on initially could harbor any of them. I think this'd be neat for later game when you're already in space so that maybe you need to adapt different strategies with your godly arsenal at that point for expanding into a different species than you've been struggling against already. Like maybe extremely fast and numerous aliens with far less health, or maybe even flying ones. Would add a whole new level to death worlds if you could spawn on a world with flying bugs.

This is probably one of the best additions they've announced so far. Making refueling stations for each deposit/drop-off caused so many unnecessary headaches in getting the fuel all around up until you have bots capable of doing it, and even then sometimes you'd have the conditions for coming and going from stations be fulfilled causing the trains to eventually blow past stations too fast to refuel and then run low while in the middle of the tracks. Even more than that though, you could probably make an entire train system based on interrupts and the new grouping system for trains will make scaling up infrastructure a breeze if adjusting a group will adjust the path for an entire system of trains. Probably will be amazing to combine this with switches.

Similar to before I'll be putting the server address up in the OP and it'll be a dedicated server that's always running so people can come in and out as they please.

We have FINALLY completed a full speed trip to another planet. The first one we did had to be slowed to a crawl so that it didn't crash into any meteors, after a bit of turret building and ammo automation on the craft we were able to make the trip and obliterate all asteroids on the way.

It's a really great feeling and very hopeful for the future, because these platforms are the only way to get to and from planets and act essentially as space trains, so it's important that we can have them going to and from planets en masse.

Now THIS is podracing. But with the pipe rework how does that affect throughput? From my understanding pipes now function like power poles and it's a matter of meeting supply to demand. So I imagine as long as you have the molten metal output met you can print as much as you want.

I'm not too sure how it affects throughput since I haven't been really paying attention to how it works. But saying it's like a power pole is probably correct, since I've noticed not really a crazy amount of variance, if any, in my pipes. This is definitely making throughput much more convenient than it was before, although now you need to limit how long your fluid lines are or train it otherwise it breaks and refuses to work. I think I prefer it, but that's because I hated working with fluids in the original. Also there's one extra condition that I forgot about when it comes to the molten iron/copper and it's that you need to make it with calcite first, but that resource is abundant throughout Vulcanus and if you can kill the worms then you're pretty much good to go.

Now in addition to that printing the planet unlocked us some new drills and I've started work on better, more efficient mining and came up with this pic related as my current finalized design. A pair of big drills with 4 Productivity 2 modules surrounded by 8 beacons each which are all outfitted with Speed Module 3s. I did the calculations and the result is that these drill pairs produce just about 1.25 blue belts per pair, and later on once we've upgraded around 0.94 green belts per pair so it's very upgrade friendly. Also despite the drills looking fairly far apart this does encompass the entire patch of iron because the radius of these drills is huge. But all of this pales in comparison to the most amazing fucking aspect of these drills. If you read the building info you will see that there is a stat called "Resource Drain" and this stat says 50%. This is not an addition to productivity, this takes the productivity of the drill and FUCKING DOUBLES IT. It's insane, it's busted, I love it so much. This expansion has really been amazing so far.

Also we just got started on Gleba and I'm not too sure what it is yet, but it seems like a more farming/agricultural (in the factorio sense) type of planet? Another Anon has been over there far more than me and figuring things out while I've been trying to redo these mines. Just a bit ago some eggs that were in his inventory hatched and attacked him so it seems like a pretty crazy planet. No resource veins on it at all. Haven't even gotten to Fulgora or beyond yet.

I guess if people want to know a bit more than this is also a bit different, and my pride in terms of what we've done with trains in this world.

The trains for iron I made differently in the sense that I used the circuits to program the limit on the train stops to be 1 until all stations have received a train, and then if all the stations are full then the limit on amount of trains allowed at each station switches to 2 to allow some buffer and for trains to be on their way instead of waiting at the drop off station. It's been working beautifully ever since I implemented it and there's a bit of priority programming there too so that even when the limit is 2 each train is going towards an empty stop first. I really want to do this somewhere else too.

I like going on /v/ from time to time for this game because the threads there aren't culture war hellholes and it's crazy to me when I'm comparing our progress to some people. So many people talking about getting stranded on planets or still being stuck on Nauvis, makes me think we're being pretty fast and doing extremely well here on Kissu. Or maybe it's just the fact that it's a server and we have multiple people, all of us pretty good at the game, managing each world. That's probably more likely the case.

Though from what I've read there and my personal experiences with the planets so far, my recommendation for anyone's first planet would definitely be Vulcanus. Just remember to have a good offense for killing the initial worms. This is my choice for it, dominates small worms and if you're lucky maybe you can kill a medium worm with it.

And from comparing the route on the recipe book to that of the solar system edge, which seems to be the beating the game condition, it seems like you need a functioning megabase producing legendary everything to reach. Which seems like it'll be fun to try.
