Eventually you are going to run out of building space though, you can't prevent clearing out at least some hives.

For now satellite mining colonies are sufficient. Having fun connecting everything with trains. Turrets seems to be sufficient for now to protect this new pollution epicenter
Attack did indeed intensify and I am in need of crude oil... |

You're already on trains!? Took me a couple hundred hours of playing before I went that far.
(of course I started in much more primitive versions of the game...) |

Got nice starting position with resources not far away - but water being far. It sook some work, but managed to survive initial attacks by placing fence and turrets only toward hive locations, while managing resources. Just last night last hour setup first train that brings more iron ore from north of map. Took some time to figure out how automating train works. For OIL - do I just look around or is there a way to find good source of OIL? Is it me or you should always plan on overkill with protection? Last edited by Anubis; 28 July 2021 at 16:24. |

You have to be a little lucky with oil, they are purple square dots on the map. My basic rule of thumb is when I generate a new map if I don't see at least some oil right in the starting area in the preview, I generate a new map.
Yes if you play with biters, there is no such thing as too much protection. I give high priority to military research and production. Those buggers will eventually start to become... nasty. |

After completing the game first time, and later getting couple of achievements that were too close to let go, started new game where I will combine all this stuff I learned from first game. This will be more - do the same but on grander scale without biters, but with complete automation and as little of my input in production as possible.
At the moment creating production of materials needed and building blocks. |

Did you use bots in your previous game? If not: definitely make that a priority. Nuclear power is also complicated but really cool to setup.

Not in production, just some personal repair ones and building ones that comes handy when you copy/paste design.
My base started as spaghettis, with each new addition was bit more organized, but did not have good hub and highway for materials. I just saw one of biggest bases made in factorio... just impressive - someone managed to launch satellites over 2 million times in single game without any cheats and without using TNT to flatten ground...

SoullessGaming also makes insane bases because they're not only big... they're also very pretty. That involves some serious ahead of time planning.

That just look crazy good and very creative. I like idea of getting all materials and equipment you need being produced and available in boxes at one location. For now I have boxes everywhere. I did start wiring boxes to create limits and conditions. Just incredible what all you can do in this game.

Anybody know a way to make Fallout 4 play nice on the resolution front ?
IE It plays WS with a big black bar on the bottom (would pref... top + bottom) Unless I change DeskTop Res to WS --- which is a pain, especially as it moves all my Icons. |

Have been playing X: The final frontier. When I first saw it, I immediately thought "WTF! It's an Elite clone!". Really nice. Since I'm not a sandboxplayer, I played mostly the story. Started to play X2 then, which is more of the same with improved graphics and a bigger universe.
What is a big benefit is, that you can smoothly play it with keyboard control. No controller required or complicated keys to remember. The second part has extended the usage of the keyboard, but the basics are still the same. After getting fed up for now (will come back later to it), I started to play Hidden Object games again. I love Point & Click and those HO games are basically casual P&C. Also like the atmosphere of them, with all that garbage on the screen where you have to find the objects. I always enjoy these games as they are easy to play and mostly about atmosphere, for casual play. |

It's called X: Beyond the Frontier apparently It's not Star Trek!
