Due to the historic event known as The Great Sharty Buck Breaking of April 14, 2025, I have decided to steal my favorite general thread from 4chan, in much the same way that a hungry scavenger picks the most appetizing piece of roadkill from the cracked asphalt. I have been playing a lot of Factorio lately and I had just started to browse /egg/ and take a liking to it, so I would like a place to discuss it and similar games while the seething jannies desperately scramble to make Gook Moot do something about his dead, gay, porn addicted niggersite from niggerhell. Factorio already has a thread on this site here, but I figured it would be a good idea to have a general thread for all engineering type games as well.

!!!!!! IMPORTANT NOTE !!!!!!

In screenshots, Factorio will display the username you registered to their website, in the context menu that appears when you hover over an entity, and on the minimap if you have player names enabled. This will lead back to any forum posts, if you have made them. Practice proper opsec and do not dox yourself. If you are coming from 4chan, that will happen here and you will be laughed at, especially if you start sperging out and arguing with people. Be warned.

Also, look up how to use thumbnails on this site so you don't upload massive images. No, resizing it manually is not the same thing.


To start off, here are some screenshots from my own Factorio runs. I happen to believe that this is one of the greatest games ever created.

factorio_0U1SGkHIw0.webp
Humble beginnings in 1.1

The earliest save I have from my 2.0 run with the Space Age expansion. This is right before going to Vulcanus. I would not recommend handling literally every single thing with logistics bots. I would, however, recommend importing blueprint books for trains/rails, and balancers.

factorio_gwhic8xEvG.webp
A relatively small Vulcanus base. Some designs may or may not be copied from DoshDoshington.

factorio_qonGkuqqJU.webp
Fuck. Gleba.
It's actually not so bad, but I was sleep deprived and having issues wrapping my brain around the relatively simple task of routing the end of every process into a heating tower, so I just solved the planet by importing a blueprint (bitch mode, don't care). I'll do it properly next time.

factorio_MVOtAPhzO5.webp
Fulgora is hilarious. I actually enjoy it, but you run into a lot of problems if you don't properly acocunt for overflow. Luckily you can always just spam more storage for the bots, but this setup is seriously not great. I can only imagine trying to sort scrap without logi bots.

factorio_RJ2ViNek5L.webp
Another planet I need to redo for myself properly. Most of the Aquilo designs are actually shamelessly ripped off from Dosh. I have no defense.

Thank you my good saar.
I tried Satisfactory but it just sucks. No enemies, map is the same every time, feels completely soulless and devoid of any reason to continue playing around tier 4 when you start processing crude oil. Not an enjoyable experience.
 
I really enjoy the new progression in Space Age. Doing the initial exploration and making starter factories across all the planets, reworking them to make legendary items, then taking all those legendary items and making insane megabases has been a great experience.

Base tax: I'm working on a modular 240/s agricultural science design. Just takes 60 yumako/s and 20 jellynut/s. I have all the items to build it for real but I'm putting off setting up the agricultural towers, it takes a mindnumbing amount that I haven't calculated yet.

I beat space age factorio recently. Not sure if I'm gonna try grinding out to the shattered planet or just start a new save and try some mods.

Some of the planet mods look neat and seem to slot in decently with saves at or past Aquilo. A shame a good chunk of older overhauls haven't been updated to 2.0.

Seablock is still worth playing doe.
factorio_iJwMobPtrH.webp
Bob's mods have been updated and the Seablock maintainer is working on updating Angel's as well. I'm looking forward to a space exploration run with the new space features which will hopefully make it less painful, but Earendel is a huge fag so I wouldn't put it past him to disable some qol features from space age because it clashes with the autistic vision of his mod.
 
I used to really like opus magnum and would play it during lectures. Easier to get into than the other zachtronics games at the time. Should come back to it as I probably dumped close to 100 hours into it.
Good thread.
 
Why are we accomodating 4chan refugees by making special threads instead of forcing them to lurk more?

holy based py autist. it's funny that his was the first big mod updated, autism is powerful

I was impressed by how quick and smooth it was.

The only things that broke were the underflow and overflow valves, due to the new fluid mechanics. Finding and removing them all was ass, but still the fact that everything else just worked was impressive.

If you weren't phone posting it would be easy to see that so far only a single poster in this thread is a refugee

There's at least some effort to assimilate, since modded Minecraft would never normally qualify. Might it have been better to revive the Factorio thread that hasn't seen a post in a few months? Maybe, but this also opens the door to more niche /egg/s - lure out the reclusive Stormworks players to discuss their PIDs.

That was half joking but not really. Modded Minecraft is the only reason why Factorio exists in the first place, kovarex posted on the IC2 forums in 2013 and advertised his kickstarter there. But modded Minecraft isn't just about enigeering (even though it should be and AE2 is the greatest mod of all time...) and it already had a general thread on /vg/, so.
Every time I start a gregtech playthrough I end up dropping it around when you unlock nuclear reactors however.
 
oni.webp

Current Spaced Out base in ONI. It's shite. I'm really not sure I like the smaller maps you get with spaced out, or the multi-colony management. A lot of extra effort that takes away from the comfy base planning.

Yes, it is a picture for ants. It's basically an ant colony in space anyway.
 
Captain of Industry fucking owns and if Factorio got you into factory porn, that game is like some sick darkweb shit.

Minecraft might not count but Vintage Story (its own game, not a mod) has the best (or kinda, only) blacksmithing system I've ever seen in a game and the satisfaction/attachment it gives you to your tools--plus the geology nerd shit it kinda forces to learn to work your way up from the stone age--tickles a similar part of my brain. I guess you do a little engineering too with windmill power trains, but you can't do much with it currently besides drive helve hammers and crush various refractory brick minerals for even more blacksmithing.
And milling flour I guess, if you're a fag.
 
I just think that production lines look neat and care not for the actual autism of full bore Factarioids.
