Always have every possible ways of power production if possible.There are three ways that electricity can be produced in game : steam power, solar power, and nuclear power and each comes with its own advantage and disadvantage. Without it, your factory will be severe disable and vulnerable to native faunas. However, rail system can deliver resources from a long distance in quantity with much cheaper and more effective than an alternative (transport belts/robots) so there is no need to shy away from it.Įlectricity is a life force of all factory. Woods can be used as an emergency fuel (beside crafting electric poles), so store them somewhere near a steam power plant and inject them in the system when coals are running low. Raw woods, don’t throw them always outright!.Having an alternative way to make electricity like solar power or nuclear power is recommending. Depending too much on coal power means coal shortage can effectively cut your base from electricity and cripple it. Depending on coal to produce electricity too much is not ideal.Ĭoals are required in some crucial production as well as in electricity (especially in an early game).And if it possible, keep them running with little problems as you can. So keep the supply line running can not and will not be neglected by any excuse. Players’ base generally required a lot of raw material of iron/copper/uranium ores, oil, coal, stone, and sometime, water. Logistics of raw material is everything.Running out of them are usually bringing disasters, so watch out! Resources are required to keep your base running and acquire techs. One mistake in this game is mostly resulted in something very bad, so be careful. Ran out of electricity can result in the base being overrun by the hostile faunas. The outpost running out of ammo can result in an entire production section to be shut down.
Misplaced the layout by one block can result in an entire factory block to be removed. Some mistake (no matter how big they are) can be deadly.Sometime logistic problems can be solved by a simple solution but sometime they don’t, so make sure to be ready for some complicated math or factory layouts. Engineering can be a game of guessing or calculating.They can be attracted by pollution from the player’s factory and will attack you from any direction so make sure to set up a good defensive system with turrets, traps, and obstacle. Some faunas are extremely hostile and territorial. This can be quite a frustration so the engineer need to be very patience.Ī “spaghetti” type of factory may not be completely bad, but a simple layout can makes logistic problems much easier to be solved and detected. There are countless designs and solutions possible and so as the problems come with it ten-fold. The Engineerīefore getting start, here is some little tips and tricks for any engineer out there. So this guide were made to provide overall info to new players who is interested to learn the basic knowledge before getting into the game. They're kinda expensive, but they let you walk through areas you have pipes in.Factorio is a game requires players to solve logistic and engineering problems that might be overwhelming for a new comer. Lastly, the in the ideal configuration one water pump supplies water to up to 20 boilers, each pair of boilers separated by a single pipe (to leave room for power poles), and each boiler connected directly to two steam engines in a row.ĮTA: Also, use underground pipes every chance you get. The direction tells you the flow expected (input/output/both), if it's both directions, you can treat it like a pipe which is the intended use of the steam engine and boiler double-ports. If you look close you'll see little arrows when placing fluid components. The other important thing to note here, when presented with multiple water/steam/fluid ports for fluid input, you only have to provide fluid in one. If you click on an electric pole you can see the production meter (the middle meter) is half full, this tells you that your production only needs to run at half speed to power your factory, the steam engine's smoke plume is indicative of how hard it is working.
I think your main question has been answered (not enough power consumers).
