They take over a continent on the planet, and proceed to shell every other continent in an successful attempt to destroy every hostile creature living on said continents.
these are literary two voices in my head every single time i am building something in my megabase. "64lane iron smelting?" "seems resonable" "8lanes of blue circuit? couldnt we do it 16 lanes?" Why the hell would we every in nine circles of heel need 16 lanes of blue circuits, can you even imagine resources required for THAT? "because, and no, but does it matter, lets just build it." "ok, why the hell not". and it goes on and on.
"This is my factorio base, and my defense train, Heavy Gustav." This isn't defense, it's all out genocide. And that, that I don't mind. Only good bug is a dead bug.
You developed locomotives to support your gigabase to launch research satellites to assist your train production? I'm not sure that's how the Industrial Revolution was meant to go, but it's probably too late to turn back now.
As a biter. You wake up in the morning and go to work, to your mining facility #995638 and a train full of weapons crosses your path. You wait. And then you see the train stops and shoots your home. Your wife and little Timmy are dead! NO! WHY?!
@@JoyOfTacos maybe not tip over but I would be afraid of causing the undersea sediment to shift and the whole island to sink if we put too much shit on Guam without some serious foundation work.
Times like this, I'm reminded of the flavor text of the MTG Card Endless Wurm; "Ages ago, a party of elves took cover to let one pass. They're still waiting."
TBH the game itself would need to be optimized before that would make a difference. I have an overclocked, watercooled PC and I run into low FPS/UPS sometimes while factorio only taking up 30% CPU. i specifically built my computer for single-threaded performance, and it doesn't seem to help that much :(
@JaysonSR thats different kind of optimization we are talking about. He is talking about factorio not using resources available. You are talking more about games using resources inefficiently. Both are correct things to talk about.
Gives a whole new scale to "circling the wagons." I think he did a great of of making sure the fire did not let up. It looks like half the train is firing on the perimeter, while the other half is reloading inside the base. Then they switch. LOL
Sit down for a while and let me regale you with a short tale. Twas the summer of '19, and I had an internship, and at that internship I watched a lot, and I mean a LOT of Factorio gameplay. Towards the end of the summer, I had acquired enough funds from said internship where I watched Factorio vidoes to do something I never do: buy something nice for myself. I decided that the one thing I really wanted was a new, beastly gaming laptop, since I have been gaming on potato graphics for my whole life and I got sick of it. I picked one out and bought it. This is the most expensive thing I have ever bought for myself, cost a whole paycheck and then some but it was worth it. Now, I have a tradition for my computers: I name them after awesome weapons. My last computer was named Mjolnir, and the one before that was Excalibur. But this one, being the first ever brand new, top-of-the-line, as beast-mode as a laptop can get without being ridiculous, I knew that fantasy weapons simply wouldn't do. I needed something real, something that caused men to quake in their boots and tremble at its coming. I searched far and wide for a suitable weapon, and after hours of searching I rediscovered the artillery train with the perfect name: the Schwerer Gustav. German for "Heavy Gustav", it was a railway cannon used by the Wehrmacht, and the largest gun ever used in combat. It seems like divine providence that I would be watching this, a video about an enormous artillery train named Heavy Gustav in Factorio, on my laptop named the Schwerer Gustav that I bought with money from a job where I spent all my downtime watching Factorio videos. Keep dropping the lead rain on those bugs, Tidy Kiwi.
"Heavy" is not enough to describe this massive godly beast :D Btw I love your base style and pattern build/concrete, your organization is so enjoyable (*-*) I love how your train can be arrived at destination and at departure at the same time haha so many bugs cleanup with good ol' shells in the face :p I hope you got a better gaming station, you deserve it.
*sees your rail line is larger than my entire factory* It's videos that this that make me realize "I don't think I'm thinking big enough in this game."
At first I saw the trains going past saying no path no path and I was like oh come on, it can't be that bad and then later on he zoomed out and showed that it was STILL LEAVING THE SPIRAL
@@Edmar_Thorn Depending on how long it took you to notice the problem it might be just easier to reload than attempt to reverse through who knows how many intersections. I think the default auto save is 10 minutes so you shouldn't be losing hours or work by just reloading.
Personally, I find Factorio terrifying, and this is why. Xenomorphs in Alien Isolation? Yawn, please. Essentially self replicating and self supporting base than spans miles upon miles with not a tree or plant in sight? That is the stuff of nightmares for me.
"Don’t be too proud of this technological terror you’ve constructed. The ability to destroy biter bases is insignificant in comparison with the Force."
I have a, MUCH, smaller train I use for this job, haha. I send four artillery cannons to fire on the new regions I want to claim. My outer wall has cannons on it already, but by sending the train deep into new territory, I can clear it out. Still, my cannons don’t fire nearly as far as yours do..
The fact it hasnt even left its starting cell is mind boogling. Also like the fact that killometers of landscape covered in concrete is considered normal. though the pattern is nice
Once an oil convoy came through town. Thing must’ve been ten miles long. The whole town pretty much shut down as there’s less than ten points in the town that go over or under the rail line. Best part was when I was at a rail crossing and pretty much blocked in. After a literal hour the motorists all got out and had a party. That convoy was still smaller than this fucking thing.
9FPS..... is go nuts. Your train is still in the station. I’ll just quote Jurassic Park. Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should. Don’t get me wrong. Very impressive base. How many hours?
"They say the best weapon is the one you don't have to fire. I, respectfully disagree. I say the best weapon, is the one you only need to fire *once* . That's how dad did it, that's how the Engineer does it,.... and it worked out pretty well so far. Find an excuse to let one of these babies off a chain, and I personally guarantee, the damn biters won't even want to come out of their nests. _zzzzzzt!_ *FSHHHHWOOSH!* For your consideration..... the Gustav." *_KHABOOOOOM!_*
