Do you build perimeter walls before stationary roboports? This was my approach in my latest playthrough. (i was too lazy to automate roboports)

Walls stack up well, and since tanks have massive inventories, it's really easy to just stamp down a blueprint of the perimeter, put the tank on a belt for automated building, and go do something else. I only needed to resupply it twice in the course of two hours

I was struggling making my base walls due to terrain so I designed an underground wall tile, I've no idea why that's not vanilla!

you can shoot while mining.

posted here incase considered low-effort, I have nothing to add.

you can make it look like your pickaxe strike caused an explosion if you instantly dsstroy the target and tine it with your animation.

cool.

py - I can't take it.

You can turn a Schrodinger antelope into 50% schrodinger pos-tilope and 50% schrodinger anti-lope.

I think I need a nap.

Edit: I made the damn antelopes. Now I can't figure out what the hell I needed them for.

How is the solar system alive?!

I got curious about the relative size of planets to the solar system, so I decided to do the math and find out the sizes and distances in the Factorio solar system using actual data from the game.

So here we go:

Game surfaces has an area of 2,000,000 by 2,000,000 tiles, and we're trying to get the radius of a sphere with the same surface area as our surface, meaning 2,000,000^(2) or 4x10^(12).

The area of a sphere is 4πr^(2), so our equation is 4πr^(2) = 4x10^(12) and we can solve for the radius:

  • Divide both sides by 4 and we get πr^(2) = 10^(12)
  • Divide both sides by π and we have r^(2) = (10^(12))/π or r^(2)≈ (10^(12))/3.14159 ≈ 3.183x10^(11)
  • Taking the square root of both sides, r ≈ sqrt(3.183×10^(11)) gives us about ~564,000 meters.

Now that we have the radius, we automatically know the diameter of our planet (game surface) to be double that (~1,128,000 meters or ~1,128 Km)

Now my question is, how is this possible? I'm no physicist but I'm pretty sure the inner planets should've crashed into each other in this configuration long ago....

Proof that 5 tiles = 5 meters, or 1 tile = 1 meter
