Love the game but damn it's really frustrating to know everything you build will have to be entirely rebuilt from the ground up after unlocking better belts/miners/recipes/trains
There are enough nodes for you to start new lines without touching the old busted ones.

But I want to be efficient
Ryan Peterson
Being efficient would be not wasting time on your old factories
Brandon Barnes
I felt the opposite about it, I looked forward to wiping my base when I hit new tiers. But I can also see why it would get annoying for others. Personally I’ll remake entire sections just to bring up the aesthetics of it.
Michael Butler
My biggest gripe is not being able to run power plants at 100% efficiency. You always get oddball resource requirements and water pumps constantly turning off and on.
that is the nature of efficiency. the whole point is you build your stuff better and better and better and better
Jayden Johnson
this still egs exclusive?
Cooper Perry
no, that expired awhile ago
Kayden Nguyen
nothing satisfactory about this pic
Ryder James
I want to like this game but holy fuck is the building tedious. Whenever I realize I need to scale a line up, I groan and quit, and I don't think that's the intended reaction.
Michael Ramirez
dude, construct copper wire on site.

>coal is 1.5km from spawn your power is always going to be far away, and the fun is connecting together all your factories all over the map. power lines make great markers for all the natural roadways for driving around anyways. you will have enormous powerplants all over the map to generate literally thousands of gigawatts.
Aaron Ramirez
This. All they need to do is add a click/drag-to-build and a blueprint function.
Sebastian Sullivan
playing the game like factorio is only going to give a you a headache. think vertically instead.

This >so much manual labor >hit a point around 40 hours where I'm just not having fun anymore >Haven't touched it since then Maybe I came in with expectations too high from playing factorio. Automating shit in this game didn't feel satisfying at all for me.
Isaiah Walker
I mean, as long as the factories are efficient, it's not like you're losing anything. They're just operating at a lower volume than your newer shit.
>have to be entirely rebuilt from the ground up after unlocking better belts/miners/recipes/trains
what do you mean? belts can be upgraded on the spot without having to delete it and then putting down the upgraded parts.
also, have multiple factories. that way you dont have to constantly rebuilt everything.

Noah Campbell
but she's hot, wide af hips
John Taylor
>you really don't know what's under there... fat tits wide hips thicc thighs when the game is done, the ending is going to be that the architect himself runs ficsit
i've learned some tricks but it's still annoying spending 30 minutes setting up some smelting especially if you're trying to go for compact designs
Robert Brooks
let game it out is pretty based in general.
Parker White
>Resources never run out >nothing ever attacks >as long as you have machine A connected to Machine B you will always get what you need, merely a matter of time. So, like, it's an idle game?
Luke Davis
Can you not build busses and scale off of them like in Factorio?
Caleb Carter
Belt speed is atrociously low for that. It may work for components more complex than screws/rods/wires, but the base stuff is too densely produced to be centralized in one place
Jace Wood
They need to change how hard drives work for alt recipies. The more tiers you unlock makes the recipe pool bigger and lowers you chance of getting the recipie you want.
