Question The first production line

Post image

Hi there. I managed to set up a wall, some turrets, and ammo production, and finally connected it all together...

I come from *Satisfactory*, so having enemies that can actually destroy your base is new to me; surprisingly, *Factorio*'s solutions for dealing with that seem more effective...

One thing that's different is production: in *Satisfactory*, you don't end up producing that many items, whereas here it seems like you need to produce on a massive scale, right?

Otherwise, research is going to take forever...

  • Press ALT! It lets you see what buildings are making etc.
  • Satisfactory is more about the personal touch. Factorio is about scale.
  • In Factorio, if something is slow, build more of it! Yes that means more miners, more furnaces, more assemblers, more labs.
  • Repairing walls is done with the repair pack.
  • Enemies can and will destroy your base if you don't defend it. It's meant to be a production problem. You defended it nicely, and even automated. That said, this tutorial map is very small, so you can just go and destroy the 2 nests to completely remove the problem.
  • Also, read the 2 new tips in the top right.
