  • Trains is also one of my favorite aspects of the game!

    I also made the parametrized train stations first and the variable to for stack sizes is so nice!

    I also tried making a schedule with only interrupts for all trains. But that don’t really works because the trains always just goes to the closest outpost. But I have been thinking if I connect every train stop to a radar. I can also check demand for a specific resource before I enable the stop

    And for my mall, I thought about making a single fluid train stop for all fluids. Because pumps can have a filter now, so maybe it can work, haven’t tried it tho










  • Well if you dont know much you can of course read all the Friday facts. But you could also just jump in s find out all the new cool stuff for your self!

    I know some YouTubers have done some “Review” of most new stuff in the DLC and in Factorio 2.0 (Xterminator is one example I know of)

    But to give some examples of why I am excited:

    • New train scheduling(train interrupts)
    • New train tracks
    • Completely new mechanics
    • New building improved building (assembly, furnace, chemical plant)

    And last but not least (maybe this one Iam the most exited to try out)

    • Quality modules




  • I haven’t played RCT so not sure how I compares.

    But Factorio is first of, a sandbox game. You can build however you want in your own tempo. Not sure what you mean by finicky?

    But I don’t think it’s tedious micromanagement at all. it feels super good when you build something new and it works. And there is so many technologies and it’s jus fun exploring how everything works together and coming up with new designs!

    There is also enemies, but can be turned off if you just want to focus on building a Factory. I mostly play with them, building up defences and killboxes and making automated train supply that comes with ammo, wall, etc.

    It has a demo you can try out. It’s scenarios so you try out different base mechanics in the game. But the actual game is a sandbox game.
