Mods Make the Spidertron BROKEN! - Factorio 1.0 Let’s Play Ep 13

[@AustinJohnPlays]

"I think the grid should be bigger" wait till Kibitz realizes there's NO LIMIT to the number of spidertrons! (PS you can put the remote(s) in the quick bar below and have up to 4 rows in the settings) :)

And in 1.1 you can now link them together so you can have a small spidertron army controlled by a single remote

And… mods. I modded the heck outta mine: superultrafast (and all solar-powered too!) and filled to the gills with personal laser defense. Monster. Real monster. (Oh, and a fat load of shields too, and batteries to power all of this in the night)

Don't put productivity modules in the miners, put speed modules. Or efficiency modules to reduce pollution. The miners already have productivity. You'll also find the output is slower with productivity modules without beacons to back it up. The max rate calculator is awesome for visualizing this!

[@Whistler-007]

Just to clarify: Beacons don't accept productivity modules. So you put all the productivity modules in the assembler/research lab/etc, surround it/them with beacons with all the speed modules.

Kibz We need to see artillery, if not for us, then for the spidertron!

[@EvilCooky]

May I interest you in a few mods, Mr Kibz? You want to rain down destruction on these pesky biters? try the "Orbital Ion Cannon"! The "Insectitronics" mod adds various tiers of spidertrons who have different specialisations as well as different weapons equipped. The "Space Extension Mod" gives you additional goals after launching a rocket, so you have something to work towards. And finally, if you want to start a new playthrough but want to chnage it up a little, how about "Krastorio 2"? It is basically a complete overhaul of the game.

[@Havoc78963]

Space Exploration is a great game overhaul as well!

i cannot wait to see his completly obliterate all life forms with artillery

[@failiuredoofus]

I once saw someone build artillery forts, then let the artillery provoke the biters into dying on the fort's defenses over and over until the artillery killed all of their sources. I kind of want to see someone use their robots to set up like three or five scattered artillery forts, and get them all firing at once to clear out entire regions without needing to kite against the biters, possibly even without the player being present for part of the extermination.

[@lichguard]

He just looked up the simplest mod for increasing the spidertrons inventory. Theres a mod that can change the spidertrons inventory and grid sise to be in the hundreds of spaces

[@alienbattle5654]

if you get 10k or 11k shields you can survive a nuke with at least 3 t o4 upgrades when you stand in the centre of you to give you an idea of how much damage it does

Everyone keeps saying AngelBob. I'll say Space Exploration with Rampant, Armored Biters, Boats, Nuclear Artillery, and the AAI vehicle mods Or the Von Neumann scenario. I think he might find that fascinating

[@Sintakhra]

Space Exploration with Krastorio

[@supersyber7]

Hey kibitz I was wondering, since you're pretty much done in terms of vanilla content. You should try out the Bob's mod series for perhaps a new playthrough. It completely changes the game, adding material levels to practically everything (so a level 1 gun turret is pretty easy to craft and does ok damage but a level 5 turret has a complex crafting recipe but does +100% damage and has more range.) It also allows you to put exosuit style items into vehicles to make them faster/deadlier. A couple of mods I would recommend to go with the Bob's series is Madclown01's vanilla nuclear as this makes nuclear a little less OP while also adding thermonuclear warheads which can splode 2x the area of a normal nuke at a much greater range. Vortik's deep drill mod so you don't have to worry about running out of your beginning resources. And also the Lordktor's Space extension mod which just adds an end game goalpost that goes further than the rocket.

[@thedonger6299]

agreed. optionally krastorio2 also is dooope

[@kralon6355]

Completely agree

[@M_Gargantua]

Angel-Bobs is a ton of fun, but requires hundreds of hours even if you do a quick start with initial bots (which is recommended)

[@ImKibitz]

I'll take a look into other mods after this playthrough, gonna keep this one pretty Vanilla+ ...also omfg there are so many things I want to do differently in a new run 😂

[@M_Gargantua]

Different... like say much lower biter levels with no biter expansion, and further apart giant ore patches?

[@leopucheta150]

Brother, you should play this but with Space Exploration mod, all the packs, its literrally never ending, after you launch the rocket, you have to go to space and other planets to mine resources you dont have in your homeworld, is the best thing you can do after complating factorio vanilla. Higily recommend.

[@GuiSmith]

Kibz, you _can_ click outside of any given known point and Spidertrons will go there. They path based on coordinates, not known area, so they can run into lakes and get stuck but if you’re just shooting in the dark they’re still effective at mass destruction.

[@OtakusRUs2]

Cool, you beat the base game. Now you ready to mod and play the other 90%?

[@dowfreak7]

Just don't really know why he stopped these. I get not making it an "infinite series", hell, I only really expected one more episode after this, using an artillery train around the whole base, showcasing where he started, how far he's come etc. Instead it's just like "haha, we're gonna do all the science, nah fuck artillery, here's a mod that breaks the game, bye series". It doesn't even seem like the views particularly bombed. Just a bit less than the satisfactory stuff, but I guess that's enough to kill the series. Always sad when shit like that becomes really apparent to the viewer, but I guess that's it then. Was a fun few hours at least.

Then re-enable the mods. Just think through what you'll lose or break and how to avoid it before disabling mods OR ... save the game, disable the mods, get the achievement then reload the last modded save.

[@Cyrikyty]

Fun fact, if you launch a space science pack into space via a rocket, you get back a raw fish. This is a thing because you could have a map setting that has a very limited amount of water, and thus, limited amount of fish. This allows you to make as many spidertrons as you could ever want, regardless of map settings.

[@joshthompson8478]

Since you're doing modules don't forget beacons can add more modules to things. Such as speed modules to apply to furnaces, or the kovarex enrichment process

There's another popular spidertron mod called Spidertron Extended which adds two more tiers of spidertron. They have a bigger grid and trunk, so that might be something which aligns more with what you want. Looking forward to spaghetti train hellfire in the near future :P

[@Balancept]

I wonder if Kibitz knows that you can ride the rocket when you launch it - Put a car in the cargo slot, then enter the car as the rocket is launching.

[@commandogaming2274]

The spidertron he created with the larger grid space is like the gods in the percy jackson books where if you see their true form you just get vaporized

[@sin9one]

Thank you Kibitz for making me laugh so much :D :D :D

[@dougpowers]

You talk about how thinking about coding the spidertron makes your brain explode? The irony of it is that I almost guarantee that the spidertron began its existence as a side project for one of the developers seeing if they could code the articulation for the legs. It may have even grown out of the articulation code for the inserters. "Check out how I can get these legs to move!" "Can they predict and track linear movement smoothly?" "Sure!" "..." "How about we put eight of them on a car and call it Spidertron?"

[@jaspertell3970]

Spidertron MK I, II, III mod, I won't use the large grid but I feel like this mod is the next logical step in vanilla spidertron. MK III is a little OP but its so expensive it feels valid. Also if you keep enough fusion reactors to support legs and lasers you won't slow down when batteries run out. Second also, put some repair modules and bots in spidertrons inventory so you can repair on the fly. Third also, I use a buildatron with tons of roboports (the more you have expands the build zone) and a destructotron for war.

[@rocksfire4390]

haven't heard that name in a longggggg time. for anyone that doesn't know.

[@akujiwar]

Headsup on artillery range, going to high can bog down the game completely. Range 6 was game over for me. Regularly 15 fps/ups. (this slows down the entire game, not just the framerate) I dont know why, but i can imagine a few reasons. One being that all the biters you piss off never make it to your base given the huge range, leaving you with thousands of active biters. Another is that with no nearby nests to absorb pollution, the pollution travels much further, triggering attacks from much further away, again leading to more active biters. Removed artillery, cleared out a bunch of biters(not nests). Trimmed base and massive solarfields, but still struggling with fps. Had 60 fps before that upgrade.

[@mrShift_0044]

yup, that's pretty much the reason. Biters search range is exceed by *manual* artillery range. there is console command to kill all biters and biters and nests, as much as disabling the, entierly for megabases. Watch Nilaus's guide about UPS/FPS savings.
