So I've been playing Factorio. I seem to be almost constantly thinking about how I can improve my factory.
I think I found a game that meets internal interests.
So far, I've been planning to:
I think I found a game that meets internal interests.
So far, I've been planning to:
- Move the labs off-site, since I'll not only need more in the future, and I need to expand the feeder belt anyways to accept blue science packs.
- Rebuild the oil processing, which took up all the space around the labs, and improve their speed.
- Shut down the coal mining and replace it with the solid fuel from oil processing.
- Expand and centralize power production.
- Replace the current furnaces with electric furnaces.
- Expand the base walls.
- Improve the defenses, with laser turrets and armor-piercing ammunition for gun turrets.
- Move the assemblers producing intermediate products away, and merge them into one, as the current setup is idle most of the time and takes too much metal away from important processes.
- Automate the production of more items, like explosives. Rockets are going to be useful.
- Kill the northern alien base and turn the now-available iron and copper deposits into a mining base.
- Shut down in-base mining, as the deposits are running out anyways, are inadequate to fuel my metal economy, and take up space transporting across the base.
- Utilize trains. Choo choo.
