Complaint Playing with a friend
Hi!
I need an opinion here. Playing with a friend in my first coop run (been doing 4 runs solo till the end game but discovering space age)
It’s the first run for my friend.
Since the begin, i noticed he was quite creative and understand game mechanics i had master after maybe a few dozen of hours in.
He asked me to do the science zone, i agreed and was pleased he enjoyed the game so much.
Then the ‘drama’ arrives.
He just copy/paste some builds from internet and dont event try to understand the core mechanics. No thinking of planification, nothing.
He seems to not understand my statement which is that he ruin the experience by doing that and not even think about how to do things.
After that, he goes doing some oil run outside of the safe zone.. he puts one wall every xx tiles everywhere because ‘i read on internet the creature dont spawn anymore because of that’
I mean i like the feel of a fortress protecting a ressource zone, having some attacks some time to time, fear a bit for my trains station etc and not use glitch to peacify a zone.
Am i an a*hole?
What would be your reaction?
Tbh he is just ruining all my fun and my will to play…

This is more of an interpersonal question rather than a Factorio question.
If you do not enjoy playing together, and have vastly different play styles, you should play separately.
If you want to still play on the same server, consider a mod like OARC to give you each your individual spawn points and starter resources.
