I only recently got the game, and last night I finally built rocket silo in vanilla.

Little did i realise how much stuff it takes to actually craft a rocket.

So now i am in the “scrap everything else and feed the silo I want to finally finish this game” run.

Did not learn about robots until very late in the game, and so I’m making a complete mess trying to retro fit them into my base.

As a new player, and programmer by profession, I have to say, this game has changed the way I think and code and I absolutely love it.

Next play through I’m going to try and build a bus, and make all my sub components in separate areas instead of zones for each science. I built myself into way too many corners and couldnt scale much.

Modded with factorio plus plus at the moment…

Theory crafting of I want a modular base or a city block base. Now that I have launched the rocket.

Doing a simple run with bitters enable for the first time. It’s interesting how it changes the game completely, i’m always looking at the map view to see my turrets coverage.

I’ll go first, I’m doing a K2 run currently I have the north half of my base doing main bus to a mall, southern half in trying to arrange into a combination of city blocks and main bus.

I’ve got ore enrichment going for iron plates and starting to add more. Taking longer than normal but having fun and getting distracted with decorations and such.

My new year’s resolution (if you can call it that) is to get all achievements (in vanilla). So I’m currently trying the “lazy bastard” with some extras like no solar added.

I just started playing for the first time after being gifted a Steam Deck this Christmas. My brothers have been telling me about this game for years and I’ve always been intrigued. I even played a VERY basic spin on the concept on my phone called Builderment and spend probably 10 hours playing around with that over a few months.

Since Christmas I’ve spend 55 hours playing vanilla Factorio. The first hour was playing through a few tutorials. The rest has all been on one playthrough. After I researched Robotics two days ago and unlocked the additional logistics chests last night, I’ve gotten my first four nuclear reactors online and begin completely transforming my base from the ground up and expanding outward.

I haven’t been using any guides or wiki articles but I did look up the concept of the main bus around hour 30 when my spaghetti base was becoming unmanageable. This game is so freaking amazing.

140 hours into a train world with maxed resource requirements with the absolute wrong settings for biter spawns.

I can’t find any damn iron patches that dose not require nukes. I just unlocked bots but im nearly dry on iron intake. Need to transition to eletric furnaces but guess what, no iron.

I attempted another vanilla run because I was hoping to get the achievements. After realizing that one of the achievements is beat the game in less than 8hrs I kinda lost interest haha. I also just built a shit base I couldn’t defend. But I’m hoping to build up to space exploration and convince some friends to join! I’m thinking I’ll probably do a play through of vanilla>krastorio>maybe 1-2 other mods>SE. I also got really into trains in the last base which was a central bus design. So it may be time to start a modular run.

I love the game absolutely do. But with the amount of time it takes I am in the “watch youtubers in the background” run.
