Mods are just cheats

>bob's
>good
I'm sure it makes you feel smart but there's not really anything smart about it and also it completely destroys all the good design choices of factorio. complexity mods are fucking dumb.

ugly icon art

rampant is great but you'll hit server cpu limits much more quickly due to the ai routines.

Any mods that really force you into using trains and consuming huge quantities of resources?

bob's by itself except for the circuits isn't very interesting. combining it with angels makes it 10x better

angels is stupid too. just adding more recipes is dumb. recipe/complexity mod authors are also all flurries so there's an extra reason to hate them.

furries* I meant to say, that is, they are faggots.

I'm playing krastorio 2 right now, it's great. What is your definition of cheats? Factorio kinda fucks with the concept of cheats because the game is a sandbox and let's you break the game over your knee in a multitude of ways even without mods. Some people think robos or main bus are cheating for example.

it's been years since I did an angels/bobs factory, but angels was more than just "more recipies". It added completely different ore and chemical refining.

fair point

cheats is anything that can produce more with less than anything in the vanilla game can manage. that's cheating. super storage? cheating. mega refineries and mines that don't scale in cost proportionally to what vanilla refineries and miners can output for cost? cheating. it's all very clear and discrete you fucking retard.

Too bad the version I played was hot garbage

completely different orr and chemical processes by way of new recipes that are only accessible through added buildings. you are clearly not a good engineer because you are bad at busting things down into their core components.

Aren't the most popular mods ones that make it even more complex like Bob's stuff or Angel's? Hell, I think even Krasterio or whatever it's called also makes it more complex.

all I'm getting from you are that 'new recipes are bad' and there is nothing to satisfy you. I'd reccomend Krastorio 2 but unfortunately that mods adds more recipes and buildings, poor you :(

Seems the opinion is either "ew you make it easier, that's bad" or "ew you made it harder by making it more complex, that's bad".

Hmmmmmm

>he's not getting it
why would I fuck with new recipes? I can just increase the scale and complexity of my vanilla factory instead of dealing with a bunch of nonsense some furfaggot came up with that adds no appreciable new mechanics to the game.

seeand stop building strawmen

>I can just increase the scale and complexity of my vanilla factory instead of dealing with a bunch of nonsense
then fucking do that and stop bitching that you are unable to find/make your perfect mod

Krasterio is as much of a rebalance mod as a complexity one. It ups electricy usage on stuff like radars and lasers through the roof.

Im not bitching, I'm telling you why bob's/everything like it is dumb and you're getting upset about it.

There's a good 3D mod for this game, and its called Satisfactory

>good

Didn't the devs do something that fucked up mods for factorio majorly that pissed off modders? I'm pretty sure the devs did something shifty to modders and that's why no one makes or updates mods for it.

Who cares, just post factories

Probably the most OP as fuck mod you can get, but also so fucking convenient.

This is where I am on my 10 hour factory
4th new game
30 total hours

no way, the devs would go as far to even fix bugs that mods would create.

Sure thing, boss.

The tutorial that is built in is super easy.

if you want to go full retard just have a single rail per train. if you have any intersection just use regular signals before

Trains are pretty straight forward once you figure out how they work.

tl;dr of train: block chain signal going into an intersection. Regular rail signal coming out. Then, just place regular rail signals periodically along the track.

"i don't like it and it doesn't appeal to me" coupled with 0 (zero) actual insights as to what you're looking for. You're not telling anyone why, you're just having a bitch fit

Shit took me like 2 hours to figure out some lane balancers.

Got sick of every google search ending with some faggot linking to the belt balancers wiki page.
Belt balancers spread the input out to the output but do nothing for lanes.
Does anyone have any ideas for 3 lanes without it being a spagmessi?

>shit
all needless complexity recipe mods that you dumb faggots just use wikis to keep track of anyways

how do i make 2 way trains work with the signals
they never do what i want them to do

I told you why, recipe mods just add recipes. they're pointless and ruin the simple but complex nature of factorio. you chose not to listen several times over.

Max resources

Trains read signals that are on the right side of the track.
You have to have signals going both ways.

Just think of each side as a one way system and it makes sense.

you need signals on both sides of the rails

Bi-directional rail networks are really difficult to scale for size without trains constantly running into each other. It's much easier to use 2 rails moving in opposite directions from one another.

>how do I make 2 way trains work
you don't because logically it's fucking stupid aside from like, train bays.

>Who cares, just post factories
ok

why "listen" to your oh-so-objective reasons when plenty of other anons seem to have no problem with it? i choose to ignore what you're saying in favor of people i agree with

>entire game is about organization and planning
>mod adds more organization and planning
>"bawww this isn't the mod for me and everyone needs to know about it"

trains are super easy to deal with and unlike openttd you dont have to deal with the rating bullshit

>More things to make in a FACTORY game is bad
>More complex items to make in a FACTORY game is bad
I get it might be personal taste, but it's a shit taste
