So I heard you like factories

This is pretty cool. It's basically the CompactMachines mod from Minecraft.

I enjoyed this game immensely on the first playthrough, but at this stage of development there's not much left to do once you've optimized your factory and researched all technologies.

I guess I should get into modding while I wait for the next update.

we could get a succession crashland going, to see the madness unravel before our eyes

Have you tried the mod that changes how resources are spread out? It makes for much more interesting large scale economics.

I got a good 100 hours or so out of it just trying different modpacks with my friends. The game is waaaay better multiplayer, even if the P2P model can mean random lagspikes for everyone when one dude's connection is bad.

If we do, what timescale would we use to measure turns, and what would be fair?

[LoSboccacc]

https://mods.factorio.com/mods/binbinhfr/TimeTools this mod gives an in-game clock. 5 days are about 30 minutes of play, could be a good time for short stint, or one can go up to 20 days, make a 'month' instead of a 'week' and that'd be two hours.

Why do a succession game, when we can make a multiplayer game and have everyone contribute to this monstrosity at once?

[Skyrunner]

because that would require people being online at the same time, and someone has to host, and latency is a thing

I hosted once latency isn't that bad the real issue is people playing at different speed, so if you can get on once a week and someone binge logistic the resources when you come back you'll be at space rockets launching

They're changing their multiplayer model to a more traditional server client model, BTW.

And i dont have people to play with :<

Yeah, in 0.13 you can get a headless server so that anyone can get on and just do stuff. It's really fun with a lot of mods, as you get this weird mess of people that know exactly what to do and people that have no idea what's going on. Actually sounds rather similar to a succession fort

does the .13 server autopause when there are no players?

[n9103]

I don't know for certain if it's able to do so stock, but I do know that mod(s) exist that can do that.

[LoSboccacc]

set up a server with 0.13.15, latest experimental. autopauses when no players, no mods installed. pm me for ip (and yes you can share it afterward with your friends if you wish)
