If you ever get bored in Factorio, repeat to yourself. "THE FACTORY MUST GROW" and then there. You have a new goal in sight.

[@1Maklak]

Yeah, just look for a bottleneck and expand it. This will create a new bottleneck.

[@worldspam5682]

You forget the next step: play "children of the Omnissiah 1hour version"

[@jmatya]

If you are bored, double the size of your factory

[@benji45645]

When I get bored in mp factorio I usually write "the factory must grow" or "f*ck your planet" in progressively bigger or more complex signs.

Or just change your username to match

[@ponypunk2065]

If you're bored, always remember that there's a tonne of environmentalists out there that needs the factory's fresh air. They can dance to the beat of the spider DJ.

[@LuanNguyen-uk5gw]

I love that martincitopants reference!

[@livedandletdie]

I mean, Factorio did nail the looks of environmentalists to a tee. And it also has turrets to deal with them.

[@ponypunk2065]

@@livedandletdie ah, turrets to deal with them and spidertron for peaceful negotiations. Factorio truly is a model game for all aspiring entrepreneurs and engineers.

[@TheConjurersTower]

Dance to the Beat of the Spider DJ sounds like an awesome hit single.

[@Wrex1994pl]

About 60: If you get REALLY BORED, install both krastorio and space exploration. Creators cooperate with each other to make those overhauls compatible. But be carefull, our 3-person multiplayer map has 150h+ and we still barely scratched the surface. at this point we spend 8h just to make "small things" to improve quality of life or make our base prepared for bigger projects (which are still nothing if you look at things you can do). Those 2 overhauls make factorio such a big game, it is NOT a great idea to introduce to beginners, but go for it if you have anyone to play with!

[@Trupen]

i 100% agree

[@andreweaston1779]

I recently started playing this again after about a year. Just remembering how everything works. And I decided to switch it up. Instead of making a main bus, I'm just building wherever. Now that's challenging. My mid game is terrible.

Number 64: Take a break from the game and when you come back you will be able to enjoy the game as before

[@lolxdrandomman69]

And then see your family after 10 years

[@FirstLast-gk6lg]

I took about an 18 month break before the 1.0 release. Went back and dumped another like 400 hours. Honestly the only reason I don't still play is because I am busy IRL, if I could retire tomorrow I would play Factorio a LOT

[@LazyCloud9]

​@@FirstLast-gk6lg wellness check, have you been growing your factory with v2?

7:04 Circuits are great for balancing oil products If heavy > light then pump heavy into chemical plant If light > petroleum pump light into chemical plant It's the only practical way I've used circuits but admittedly I get bored and stop playing after blue science.

[@jamesshelton308]

I have circuit that kicks on boilers when solar power is not meeting base requirements. Boilers don't take more resources if the engines have nothing to supply, so I have a switch that closes when accumulator charge drops to 25% and opens when it gets back up to 80%.

[@shiinondogewalker2809]

@@jamesshelton308 iirc boilers kicks in when solar power is not meeting requirements by default edit: as some people have pointed out, yes the boilers would start to charge the accumulators at night when the solar panels go inactive

[@limes5295]

You can use a similar system for a reactor that stores extra steam and only fuels itself when power levels drop.

[@jamesshelton308]

@@shiinondogewalker2809 If they do, then that must be a fairly new thing. The ran constantly when unless accumulators were full back when I made the circuit.

[@nonoaidnono]

There is an auto system in place for power balancing, it will use solar, then nuclear, then steam. It’s not the most efficient as it will be like 40% nuclear and 20% steam for example. I also use circuits for refineries by coal liquification but that requires lots of balancing to get right to be able to pump out each chemical no matter what the demand

I once spent an hour making a really silly circuit network. It would take a set of 600 iron plates and split them into a set of 400 and a set of 200. Even if the input then had excess, it wouldn't let things go until the two output chests were empty. It was for.. inserters (I think?) that needed 1 iron gear and 1 iron plate (and other things) and I wanted to be efficient with my iron. It's really stupid, but it works!
