The
Long-handed inserter
is an electric
inserter
that picks up and places items two tiles from its location instead of the usual one. They are commonly used for placing items on a
belt
that is three tiles away from either an
assembling machine
or a
furnace
.
Long-handed inserters may have trouble grabbing moving items from red/blue turning belts if the item is on the far side. They can also grab items past north facing
cliffs
that go straight across, though cliffs of any other kind are too thick for the inserter to reach across.
For more information on mechanics and uses see
Inserters
.

The
fast underground belt
is the second tier of
underground belts
. It has a maximum underground distance of 6 tiles — 2 more than the basic underground belt. The speed of the fast underground belt is the same speed as the
fast transport belt
, which is twice as fast as a basic
transport belt
or underground belt.

Thank you for invite. Will do my best.
Thank you for the quick (!) invite as well. Worked on adding the Passive Provider Chests in the wiki. I'd love to have a one-line summary as to what the actual difference is between the Passive and Active provider chests. I assume that bots will take items from active provider chests firs, but I can't confirm this.

Thank you for the Welcome
Thanks you Kovarex for the welcome. I've already fleshed out the
tank
article quite a bit. It's near non-existence is what prompted my application to join. I have been struggling to find out what standards exist if any. There are a number of areas of the wiki that seem to have conflicting standards. For example,
Iron plate
has 'Plate' with a capital P, while
Plastic bar
doesn't capitalize the B in 'bar'. (Standard wiki notation is to only capitalize first work unless later words are proper nouns). There are a number of things like this I have found, but I also don't want to rock the boat being the new guy.

Enemies
are creatures that want to
harm
the
player
. They are the native inhabitants of the extraterrestrial worlds on which the player is operating. Enemies show up on the map as red dots.
On
Nauvis
, the enemies are arthropods which live in organic nests. They are encountered in three species: Biters, Spitters, and Worms (though the nickname "Biters" is often used collectively for all of them).
More enemies can be encountered on other planets with the
Space Age
expansion. On the planet
Gleba
, there are pentapods which come in three variants: Wrigglers, Strafers, and Stompers. On the planet
Vulcanus
, there are the Demolishers.
Each species comes in a range of sizes, where larger specimens have more health and do more damage.

Creatures
Biters
Biters are one of two main antagonists in the base game. They come in four sizes: small, medium, big and behemoth. In the beginning of a game, there will only be the small ones. With increasing
pollution
, they will become bigger, related to the enemy's
evolution
. As common sense may suggest, their method of attack is a straightforward charge to "bite" things.

Spitters
Spitters
are much like
biters
and only appear slightly later on in the game as the evolution factor increases. Their main difference from biters is their ranged attack. Using predictive aiming, they spit a stream of acid at enemies which leaves behind a puddle of acid where it hits the ground. Due to the spitters' predictive aiming, the acid stream can be dodged by suddenly changing walking directions or standing still.
[1]
Both the stream and the puddle of acid deal damage over time and slow down players and vehicles. Most entities of the game have a much lower resistance to acid than other damage types (including
turrets
and
armor
), so spitters are effectively more potent against the player and their factories. Their behavior and size classification are the same as with biters, but their health is universally lower and they are resistant exclusively against explosives, with no physical resistance.

Worms
The Worms are natural allies of biters and spitters and will attack the player if they get close enough with an attack similar to spitters'. They act like static
turrets
and will not follow attackers. They rely on high damage, great range and splash damage to keep the player away from the worms and the nests they protect, but either one of these advantages can be overcome. Unlike other enemies, they are also highly resistant to fire. They will spit acid at the player, which can also leave acidic puddles on the ground that can still damage players and vehicles, as well as slow them both down and leave a brief acidic, damaging effect for a few seconds. However, placed buildings and tiles are unaffected by the acid puddles, but still take damage normally by the acid projectile.
Worms come in 4 sizes, their power increasing with size. Like biters and spitters, behemoth, big and medium worms spawning is influenced by the evolution factor. Worms are only created during enemy expansion when a certain evolution factor requirement is fulfilled. This is 0.3 for the medium worm, 0.5 for the big worm and 0.9 for the behemoth worm. Below these evolution factors, worms can only be created by the map generation. In map generation, the game restricts higher tier worms behind the distance from the starting point. The further away the player goes from the starting area, the stronger the worms become.

Wrigglers
Wrigglers are the biter equivalents of the planet Gleba, as they are standard melee enemies. True to their name, they flail and squirm their digits to move around and attack. Much like how biters and spitters spawn from nests, wrigglers spawn from egg rafts. Destroying egg rafts will spawn a group of more premature wrigglers, which are wrigglers that slowly lose health over time until they die. Strafers can launch flying versions of premature wrigglers at their target.
Killing strafers and stompers can summon even more premature wrigglers. The wrigglers that spawn from the corpses of strafers and stompers will match the size of the larger enemy that was killed. For example, killing a small strafer or stomper will spawn small premature wriggers, while killing a medium strafer or stomper will spawn medium premature wrigglers.

Strafers
Native to the planet Gleba, strafers are large yet scrawny five-legged pentapod creatures with the unique behavior of constantly circling around players while attacking them, rather than making a beeline straight for the player, unlike any other type of enemy in the game. They will fire flying premature wrigglers toward the player, essentially adding more enemies to the fight.

Native to the planet Gleba, stompers are extremely large, five-legged pentapod creatures with limbs that look similar to a starfish, and seem to have natural, jagged exoskeleton armor that provides high resistances to many types of damage. They are very powerful melee enemies that use their brute force to attack
players
by simply stomping toward them, while spitting a close-ranged acid that slows down players and
Vehicles
. Their large size and high damage can destroy buildings instantly. They will spawn premature wrigglers upon death.

Demolishers
Native to the planet Vulcanus, demolishers are horrendously large worm-like creatures that roam across the land and lava. Each individual demolisher patrols a defined territory, and building structures in their territory will disturb them and cause them to attack.
Demolishers have three types of offense. On physical contact they do high damage to the player, and instantly destroy buildings and cliffs. They release a smoke cloud that slows the player and damages any nearby bots. And at range, they cause explosions to erupt from the ground, Due to their high damage resistances and extremely fast health regeneration, killing them requires advanced and upgraded weaponry, or massive quantities of bullets. They are completely immune to the
slowdown capsule's
effect.
Once killed, they leave behind remains similar to that of black volcanic rock, which contain
tungsten ore
.

Nests
Nests in the wild will have their max health increase with evolution factor exponentially, up to 10 times their starting health.
Biter and spitter nests can be captured by firing a
capture bot rocket
from a
rocket launcher
at a nest. After the nest is captured, it must be given
bioflux
to maintain and continuously create
biter eggs
. If the nest is not maintained, it will slowly lose 1 health per second, but when fed, it will gain 1 health per second.

Expansions
Every 4-60 minutes, a group of 5-20 biters/spitters will leave their base to create a new base which will consist of as many worms/nests as there are members in the group. This group will search for a suitable spot that's 3-7 chunks away from existing bases. The interval between enemy expansions is global, and the higher enemy evolution, the shorter the interval is on average. Furthermore, with higher evolution, the groups are bigger on average.
Once they have found a suitable spot, each biter/spitter in the group dies and forms a new nest or worm. Forming a new nest or worm will destroy anything that is in the way, which can include members of the expansion group. There is a delay between each member sacrificing itself for to create a worm/nest, so creating the new base from the expansion group can take quite a long time, depending on the group size. Medium worms are only formed if the current evolution is higher than 0.3, big worms only if the current evolution is higher than 0.5 and behemoth worms are only formed if current evolution is higher than 0.9. The game randomly chooses whether to form a new biter nest, spitter nest, small worm, or bigger worm if the evolution factor is high enough.
[2]
Expansions on
Gleba
function mostly similar, except that pentapods only create spawners in marshes, and will
never
create nests on other tiles.
Defense
"Kills" tab on the
production statistics
screen.
Nests spawn biters and spitters freely. However, biters and spitters will only aggressively engage the player's factory if the pollution cloud of the factory reaches a nest because pollution is consumed to send biters or spitters to join the next attack. Every 1 to 10 minutes (random) the mustered biters launch an attack. If not all biters have arrived at the rendezvous point by that time, they will wait up to an additional 2 minutes for stragglers. The attack then proceeds to their target over the shortest path possible, accounting for terrain, but not for player entities that could pose an obstacle (like
walls
).
If there is a clear path somewhere around those obstacles, the biters will attempt to go around. If there is no clear passage or a clear passage would mean deviating too far from the original course, the biters will attack whatever is in their way to go through. This can be exploited to an extent; creating mazes at regular intervals along a barrier can direct the biters through a gauntlet not dissimilar to tower defense.
However, if a biter comes in proximity of a
military unit or structure
, it will prioritize these and attempt to immediately attack them instead, again trying to reach the new target over the shortest possible path with no too great detours, if possible.
Evolution
Spawn chances of biters from biter spawners by evolution factor.
Spawn chances of spitters from spitter spawners by evolution factor.
Weight graph of both spawners by evolution factor. The values shown are primarily for indicating when certain types start and stop spawning, for actual chances refer to the tables or other charts.
The evolution factor is a global variable that determines what kind of biters will be spawned. You can check the variable in the dev console via the following command (does not disable achievements):
/evolution
The evolution factor goes from 0 (not evolved at all) to 1 (maximal evolution). The evolution factor can only increase.
This command also provides percentages for the three sources; each one is the percent of the (unsquashed) total evolution that is contributed by that source.
Besides choosing what kind of biter will be spawned, the evolution factor also influences the spawning interval. This interval (
spawning_cooldown
in the
enemy-spawner
definition) is interpolated between 360 (0 evolution) and 150 (1 evolution) game ticks (= 6 to 2.5 seconds).
Methods of increasing
The evolution factor is increased by three kinds of events:
The passage of time very slightly increases the evolution factor.
The global
pollution production
increases the evolution factor.
Destroying
nests
significantly increases the evolution factor.
The default settings are:
| Source per | Variable inenemy_evolution | Evolution increase | Pollution equivalent |
| ----------------------- | -------------------------- | ------------------ | -------------------- |
| Second | time_factor | 0.000004 | 267/minute |
| Destroyed enemy spawner | destroy_factor | 0.002 | 2222 |
| 1 Pollution unit | pollution_factor | 0.0000009 | 1 |
Note that all spawners (not worms) generate the same amount of evolution when destroyed.
These values can be set during
world generation
: the values in the dialog box are multiplied by 10^-7 for time and pollution, and 10^-5 for spawner destruction. In game, they can be found in
game.map_settings.enemy_evolution
, though checking or modifying them is considered using cheats.
Pollution production is the total pollution produced by
buildings
, not the pollution spreading on the map, so it is not reduced by trees or other absorbers.
e.g. : 10 boilers produce 300 pollution in one minute, raising the evolution factor by around 0.00027 in that minute.
After totaling up all the evolution from these sources, this quantity is squashed to fit in the range
[0, 1)
by applying
evolution_factor = total_evolution / (1 + total_evolution)
.
Equivalently, marginal increases in evolution are reduced by multiplying the increase by
(1 - evolution_factor)²
. So for instance destroying enemy spawners in the beginning of the game results in increase of evolution factor by 0.002 while doing this when the evolution factor is 0.5 the increase is only 0.0005.
This also means that the evolution factor approaches 1 asymptotically - generally, increases past 0.9 or so are
very
slow and the number never actually reaches 1.0.
| Evolution factor | Pollution equivalent | Appearance |
| ---------------- | -------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| 10% | 123k | |
| 20% | 278k | Medium Biter |

Spawn chances by evolution factor
The probability charts show the chances of each type of biter/spitter for each spawner at all evolution levels.
Advanced: Evolution factor components and computation
This section has charts plotting the individual evolution factor components and discusses possibilities for manually estimating the evolution factor.
1. Single-component evolution factor increase with time
2. Single-component evolution factor increase with destroyed spawners
3. Single-component evolution factor increase with pollution
Notes
Data from version 1.1.50.
All charts end at approximately an evolution factor of 0.90.
The calculation steps for time and spawner kills match those used by the game, so these charts should be accurate. The pollution chart assumes a pollution production of 1000 units per second, and due to the recursive nature of the chart values will slightly diverge at different pollution rates. The effect of this is negligible for any reasonable amount pollution production, however.
Given that the game reports the actual evolution factor (console:
/evolution
) whenever the player wishes, these charts are intended primarily to help estimate the impact of planned base expansions and similar activities on the evolution factor's future development.
Comments
These charts (click to enlarge) represent the situation where each evolution factor component (time, pollution, destroyed spawners) is the
only
component contributing to the evolution factor in that entire game. They are therefore
not realistic
, as in a typical game all three components will contribute, some at varying times and intensities.
Because of how contributions to the evolution factor (EF) are calculated (multiplied by
(1 - current EF)
), it is
not
possible to simply add the values indicated by these charts for a game's time passed, pollution generated, and / or spawners destroyed so far to retrieve the total evolution factor.
For example, if 24 hours have passed (single-component EF =~ 0.25), 200,000 pollution units were released (single-component EF =~ 0.15), and 400 spawners were destroyed (single-component EF =~ 0.45), the actual evolution factor will
not
be (0.25 + 0.15 + 0.45 =) ~0.85.
However, the evolution factor will always be
less
than the sum of all individual components as indicated by these charts, and
at least
as high as the highest individual component. Thus, using the values from above, the EF will be
at least
0.35 and
less than
0.85. A smarter approach is required to compute the current evolution factor.
Individual components
The individual components of evolution can be approximated from
/evolution
:
Given the evolution factor, the unsquashed evolution is
unsquashed = evolution_factor / (1 - evolution_factor)
. Multiply this by the percentage for a given component to get its approximate unsquashed contribution. Of course, total pollution and spawner kills can also be found on the
production statistics
screen, and time passed can be found using the
/time
command, so it's not fully necessary.
The actual factors can be found in
game.forces.enemy.evolution_factor_by_time
,
...evolution_factor_by_killing_spawners
, and
...evolution_factor_by_pollution
, if you don't mind disabling achievements.
Trivia
Despite their drastically different origins, enemies from different planets will always act as allies against the player. They will even reside around each other's nests when not attacking players, even if the type of nest does not match that of the residing creature. Even demolishers will circle around nests without harming or destroying them. Since enemies only spawn on their respective planets, this is not normally seen in gameplay, unless these creatures are placed near each other in the
map editor
.
Demolishers
were originally designed for
Fulgora
, but was later moved to
Vulcanus
because it was too similar to the
Dune Franchise
.

The
boiler
uses
fuel
to convert
water
into
steam
at 165°C suitable for use in a
steam engine
. It has two water connectors on opposite ends and passes water through to adjacent equipment such as other boilers. The boiler features a single output for the steam it produces. It only consumes fuel as it creates steam. Boilers used in conjunction with
offshore pumps
and steam engines are a vital part of early
power generation
.
For each unit of water, 10 units of steam are produced. Inserting one
coal
(4 MJ) into a boiler then using the resulting steam in a steam engine will supply 4 MJ of energy to an electrical system. It costs 30 kJ to heat 1 unit of water to steam at 165°C, so one boiler will produce 60 steam per second.
Inserters
can insert fuel into boilers. However, using powered inserters to move fuel into a boiler can be problematic should fuel become unavailable: if no power is being produced, then powered inserters fueling a boiler cannot operate. Using at least one
burner inserter
, which uses fuel and not electricity, ensures that at least one inserter is available to restart a single boiler. Inserters can also remove fuel from boilers, allowing inserters to move fuel down a chain of boilers.

Nutrients
are the fuel for
biochambers
and are also used as ingredients in recipes. There are several ways to generate nutrients from biological materials. While nutrients have a short spoil time, their fuel value is not affected by their freshness.
Any
quality
of nutrients can be used as fuel for a biochamber. However, if a biochamber is set to produce a higher quality version of a recipe that also takes nutrients as an ingredient, it can be tricky to keep an
inserter
from inserting high quality nutrients into the fuel slot for the biochamber instead of the ingredient slot. If the biochamber never runs out of base-quality nutrients in its fuel slot however, the higher quality nutrients will always be placed in an ingredient slot.

The
belt transport system
in Factorio is among the most detailed simulations in the game. Items in chests and other containers are stored simply as summed totals, and items on uninterrupted stretches of belts are
moved in aggregate
as an optimization, but in the end items on belts are simulated individually, especially when they get picked up or put down by inserters. This leads to some intricate behaviors, in particular when it comes to
inserter throughput
.

Belt properties
Density
. How many items fit onto a certain length of belt, measured in items per
tile
per belt lane. This is 4 on a straight belt, regardless of the type of item and type of belt. The item density on belts can be different from what they take up when just dropped on the ground (using the Z key). Density of items can be increased with the use of
stack inserters
, but there are still at most 4 stacks per tile per lane.
Speed
. The speed of items on a belt is measured for practical reasons in tiles per second. Note that internally it is measured in positions (1/256 tile) per tick (1/60 sec). More on that below. The speed of a basic
transport belt
is 1.875 tiles per
game-second
.
Fast transport belt
is twice as fast,
express transport belt
is three times as fast, and
turbo transport belt
is four times as fast.
Throughput
. How many items per second that are moved from one tile to the next. That is density (items per tile) multiplied by speed (tiles per second), e.g. for a basic belt it is 4 * 1.875 = 7.5 items per second, for one belt lane. For both lanes it is doubled, i.e. 15 items per second.
Compression
. If there is no empty space between items on the belt it is called
fully compressed
, otherwise its compression is only partial and it does not have optimal throughput. Entities that put items onto belts –
inserters
,
splitters
, other belts coming from the side, mining drills, etc - make room for their item by
enlarging a small gap
until it is exactly big enough for the item. That means belts naturally become fully compressed before items start to back up.
Lanes
. Belts have two parallel lanes, and the density and speed of each lane is constant and independent of the other one, regardless of twists and turns. So items in the inner lane of a turn exit it before those in the outer lane, since their speeds are equal and the inner lane is shorter than the outer one.
Belt speeds
Given the values above we can calculate the speed and throughput of the three types of belts. Measurements confirm these values.
| Belt type | Speed | Speed | Throughput | Throughput | Throughput | Throughput |
| ---------------------- | --------- | ---------------------- | ---------------------- | --------------------- | --------------------- | ---------- |
| Factor | Tiles/sec | Single lane, items/sec | Single lane, items/min | Both lanes, items/sec | Both lanes, items/min | |
| Transport belt | 1 | 1.875 | 7.5 | 450 | 15 | 900 |
| Fast transport belt | 2 | 3.75 | 15 | 900 | 30 | 1800 |
| Express transport belt | 3 | 5.625 | 22.5 | 1350 | 45 | 2700 |
| Turbo transport belt | 4 | 7.5 | 30 | 1800 | 60 | 3600 |
Items on belts
As mentioned earlier, items take space on belts in terms of density and compression. However, every item on a belt is logically
on
exactly one belt tile at any moment in time.
For example, even though in a screenshot it might look like an item is halfway out from one tile and halfway onto the next, it will be accounted to exactly one of the two tiles:
If you stop the belt tile the item is on, it stops; else it continues moving - there are no in-between states.
If you connect the two belt tiles to a circuit network and get them to
report statistics
about the items they carry, you will see the item being accounted to exactly one of them.
An inserter can only pick up items that are logically on the tile in front of it, not items butting in from the neighboring tiles.
In this sense it is useful to think of items as points with a certain minimum distance between them, rather than things with an area lying next to each other. For belt calculations and circuit networks involving belts it doesn't really matter where those "center points" are within the graphic of the item, but they appear to be in the middle:
In the image above the belts have been started at 1 tick offsets, then all the top row tiles have been stopped at once, causing the front-most stopped items to poke out by varying amounts. The items on the leftmost belt are almost halfway into the next tile, which means their center points are the closest to the edge of the upper stopped tile.
Below is a schematic example showing some items moving over two straight
fast transport belt
tiles and what their read signals would be at each tick. Their center points are marked with
*
. (The space between belt tile 1 and 2 is only for visualisation - in the game there are no such gaps between tiles.)

Belt positions and lengths
Careful measurement
shows that the outer lane of a turn is exactly 1.15234375 times longer than a straight belt, or 295/256 in fractional format. That means each straight belt tile has 256
positions
an item can be in, even though measuring the position with that precision can only be done indirectly.
Here are the speeds and lengths of the various types of belt tiles in terms of these positions:
| What | What | Number of positions |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------- |
| Basictransport beltspeed, per tick | Basictransport beltspeed, per tick | 8 |
| Fast transport beltspeed, per tick | Fast transport beltspeed, per tick | 16 |
| Express transport beltspeed, per tick | Express transport beltspeed, per tick | 24 |
| Turbo transport beltspeed, per tick | Turbo transport beltspeed, per tick | 32 |
| Length of an item on a belt (of any speed) | Length of an item on a belt (of any speed) | 64 |
| Length of one lane of a straight belt tile and underground belt | Length of one lane of a straight belt tile and underground belt | 256 |
| Length of one lane of the splitter input line | Length of one lane of the splitter input line | 179 (128+51)1 |
| Length of one lane of the splitter output line | Length of one lane of the splitter output line | 128 |
| Length of the inner lane of a turn | Length of the inner lane of a turn | 106 |
| Length of the outer lane of a turn | Length of the outer lane of a turn | 295 |
| Length travelled by an item sideloaded late on a straight beltor underground exit | | 68 |
| Length travelled by an item sideloaded early on a straight beltor underground entrance | | 188 |
(1)
includes a buffer of 51 positions
[1]
For example, given the figures above, we can deduce the speed of a basic belt:
8 (positions per tick) / 256 (positions per straight belt tile) * 60 (ticks per second) = 1.875 tiles per second
Its throughput per belt lane is:
8 (positions per tick) / 64 (positions per item) * 60 (ticks per second) = 7.5 items per second

Mods should define human readable names for prototypes that they add. They can also define descriptions for items or custom strings for usage in GUIs etc. This is called
localisation

File format
Translations are stored as .cfg files, with the following format:
welcome-message=Hello world
[category]
title=Category related title
# Comment
; Another comment
Any whitespace after or before
=
is included in the key or string, so
title =Category related title
will give an unknown key error if you are looking for the
title
key, since it is the
title
key.
category
can be one of the existing locale categories, which permits implicit search mechanisms to find translations, but may also be another key, such as
[my-mod-messages]
. These are accessible the same as other translations, e.g.
{"my-mod-messages.hello"}
These files are located within the language code of the language in the locale folder of the mod, so as an English example
__mod__/locale/en/any_name_here.cfg
. There can be more than 1 file per language, all of them will be read.
Localising simple strings
The simplest localisation is of items, entities etc. If we say the item is
iron-plate
, the game will then search all loaded locale files for
item-name.iron-plate
and
item-description.iron-plate
, which in the locale file looks like this:
[item-name]
iron-plate=Iron plate
[item-description]
iron-plate=A plate made of iron.
If found in the locale, the label is set to this string. If not found, the game will instead show:
Unknown key: "item-name.iron-plate"
In script, the localised string is formatted as
{"category.name"}
, so
game.print({"item-name.iron-plate"})
prints
Iron plate
.
It is possible to use
rich text
features in the localised text if the location where the text is shown supports it, e.g. in the chat, prototype names and prototype tooltips.
\n
can be used for line breaks if the location where the text is shown supports multiline text.
The list of all localization categories used by the base game is:
| Localization categories |

Localising with parameters
For more complex strings, localisation parameters can be used. For instance we want to show
Time left: 10 minutes.
So a key with a placeholder is defined, which is replaced by the first parameter after the locale key.:
time-left=Time left: __1__ minutes.
So it is used like this:
game
.
print
({
"time-left"
,
10
})
It also works with multiple parameters:
game
.
print
({
"time-left"
,
10
,
45
})
time-left=Time left: __1__ minutes and __2__ seconds.
Which results in
Time left: 10 minutes and 45 seconds.
Built-in parameters
For some situations, we use localisation to show control schemes. For instance we want to say:
technology-prompt=Use T to open the technology screen
However the player may have rebound the key, but we can’t figure out which key as it would not be deterministic. So instead we use the built-in replacement functionality
technology-prompt=Use __CONTROL__open-technology-gui__ to open the technology screen.
We can also use this for items and entities:
big-iron-plate=Big __ITEM__iron-plate__
tiny-gun-turret=Tiny __ENTITY__gun-turret__
List of built-in parameters
name
is the name of an internal game control or a prototype name, depending on context.
n
can be 1 or 2, it's used in parameters that control
alternate input names
. For a list of internal game control names, see
CustomInputPrototype::linked_game_control
.
__CONTROL__name__
- The combination of modifiers and input, such as "Control + Alt + Left-click", or "Not set".
__CONTROL_MODIFIER__name__
- The modifiers, such as "ControlShift", or, "No modifier selected."
__CONTROL_STYLE_BEGIN__
__CONTROL_STYLE_END__
__CONTROL_LEFT_CLICK__
is replaced with
control-keys.mouse-button-1
or
control-keys.controller-b
[1]
__CONTROL_RIGHT_CLICK__
is replaced with
control-keys.mouse-button-2
or
control-keys.controller-x
__CONTROL_KEY_SHIFT__
is replaced with
control-keys.shift
or
control-keys.controller-leftshoulder
__CONTROL_KEY_CTRL__
is replaced with
control-keys.control
or
control-keys.controller-rightshoulder
__ALT_CONTROL_LEFT_CLICK__n__
is replaced with
control-keys.mouse-button-1-alt-n
or
control-keys.controller-button-alt-n
(with parameter
control-keys.controller-b
)
__ALT_CONTROL_RIGHT_CLICK__n__
is replaced with
control-keys.mouse-button-2-alt-n
or
control-keys.controller-button-alt-n
(with parameter
control-keys.controller-x
)
__REMARK_COLOR_BEGIN__
__REMARK_COLOR_END__
__ALT_CONTROL__n__name__
__CONTROL_MOVE__
- The Movement keys, squished together. Example: "WASD", from a conventional QWERTY English keyboard.
__ENTITY__name__
- The localised name of the
EntityPrototype
subclass.
__ITEM__name__
- The localised name of the
ItemPrototype
or subclass.
__TILE__name__
- The localised name of the
TilePrototype
.
__FLUID__name__
- The localised name of the
FluidPrototype
.
Plurals
Pluralization can be used in any string that uses a parameter (e.g. __1__) that is numeric, so something like an amount of minutes. It can be used multiple times per string.
format-days=__1__ __plural_for_parameter__1__{1=day|rest=days}__
This results in "1 day" and "2 days" / "500 days" etc.
The number after
__plural_for_parameter__
denotes which parameter is used to determine the plural. This is the parameter 1 in the above example. Anything inside the {} is used to make the plural. Each plural form is separated by a |.
The text in front of the = determines for what the plural form is used. Options for this are:
a simple number, e.g. "1".
Multiple numbers, e.g. "2,3,4".
What the number ends with, e.g. "ends in 11" or "ends in 1"
Multiple ends with, e.g. "ends in 1,ends in 2,ends in 12".
"decimal" for any number with a fractional part.
"rest" to give the default plural.
Plural forms may be empty or contain other keys such as __1__ or spaces. This allows rather large plural forms:
__plural_for_parameter__1__{1=__1__ player is|rest=__1__ players are}__ connecting
The system chooses the first fitting plural that it encounters when multiple would fit:
__plural_for_parameter__1__{ends in 12=option 1|ends in 2=option 2|rest=option 3}__
This will result in "option 1" for 12 and in "option 2" for 22 and in "option 3" for numbers not ending with 2.
Concatenating localised strings
The special locale key:
""
is used to concatenate, as the table format does not support concatenation:
game
.
print
({
""
,
{
"item-name.iron-plate"
},
": "
,
60
})
Will result in:
Iron plate: 60
Localising alternate input names
In the introduction campaign, a special locale system is used for informing players how to do certain actions with their mouse.
The normal form is to use eg:
how-to-build=Use __CONTROL__build__ to place a building
which results in "Use Left mouse button to place a building". A more natural phrasing would be "Left-click to place a building", which can be achieved by using the following:
how-to-build=__ALT_CONTROL__1__build__ to place a building
These "alt" versions are controlled by a few special locale keys, mouse-button-X-alt-1 and mouse-button-X-alt-2. In English, form 1 produces eg "Left-click", and form 2 produces eg "Left-clicking". Only two alt forms ("1" and "2") are available at the moment, but if this a problem for some languages, more forms may be added in the future.
Extra mouse buttons, mouse scroll and keyboard keys are handled through the mouse-button-n-alt-1/2, mouse-wheel-alt-1/2 and keyboard-alt-1/2 keys, which just take the normal name and prepend something like "Press/Pressing", or "Scroll/Scrolling".
When translating to another language, you can use whatever forms you want here, but the important part is that you are consistent when you use the alt-forms everywhere else. It does not necessarily make sense to just copy the usages of alt forms from the English locale, and for some languages it may be more natural to simply not use this system at all.
Accessing the localised result in code
While usually unneeded, it is possible to read the resulting localised text in code, for example to search in localised names.
See
LuaPlayer::request_translation
,
LuaPlayer::request_translations
and
on_string_translated event
.
Default Behavior(s) for finding an Unspecified Localised String
If a localised_string is not defined in the prototype for certain prototype classes, e.g. entity, item, Factorio may have a default search behavior.
Determining an item's localised name:
Note: the angle brackets are meant to mean a generic term, they are not part of the actual string. Also, place_result and placed_as_equipment_result are strings, and Factorio fetches the matching prototype to examine.
if localised_name is provided in the item prototype and it is not empty {}, use the provided value
else if there is place_result and it has localised_name that is not an empty table: {}, use the localised_name of place_result
else if there is place_result with an empty localised_name, use {"entity-name.<entity prototype name>"}
else if there is placed_as_equipment_result and it has a localised_name that is not an empty table: {}, use the localised_name of placed_as_equipment_result
else if there is placed_as_equipment_result with empty localised_name, use {"equipment-name.<equipment name>"}
else use default {"item-name.<item name>"}
Reference:
[2]
Example: The transport-belt item does not have a localised_name, so 1->2. There is a place result, but not localised_name in the entity prototype. 2->3. The place result lacks a localised_name. Use the localised string {"entity-name.transport-belt"}
Such defaults often include a "leading key" using [<group>-name] or [<group>-description] (such as [recipe-name], [mod-setting-description]). However, each prototype may have a distinct search behavior before using those, based on presence/absence of values in the prototype.
Prototype/Recipe
for example may use the first product's localised_name, or the main_product's localised_name, or the localised string found in {"recipe-name.<recipe name>"], depending on values provided (and lacking) in the prototype.

The
uranium cannon shells
are an advanced ammunition type for the
Tank
along with
explosive uranium cannon shells
. Once they are made available, they surpass their
regular
variant; their damage and
piercing power
is increased twofold. Since regular shells are still specifically required to manufacture uranium variants, any previously manufactured stockpile can be "upgraded" without waste.
While uranium cannon shells still deal an amount of explosive damage, it is only dealt on the directly hit target and it is also a much lower amount than what explosive shells deal; its primary damage outlet is physical and therefore better suited against
worms
,
nests
and large
spitters
for their lesser resistances against it. These shells also feature the greatest piercing power in the game that is reliable for anything but the largest enemies, even capable of destroying two nests in one shot.

Summary
Open the show-time-usage screen. If you're having consistent low UPS, look for big numbers in the
first
column. If you're having stutters and freezes, look for big numbers in the
third
column.
Accessing the "time usage" screen
The "Debug settings" menu with the options we need to enable
Press
F4
to open the "Debug settings" menu. This will show you a variety of options. You need to enable 3 of them:
show-fps
: This will show your FPS and UPS counter in the top right of your screen.
show-time-usage
: This will show details of many systems of the game and how much they are impacting the performance of your game. The majority of this tutorial will be about how to decrypt this information.
hide-mod-guis
: Sometimes, windows and buttons from mods can hide the information from show-time-usage. This option hides them so we can read everything.
Tip: To read the numbers more easily, open your map and scroll to an area you haven't explored yet, so the information is on a black background.
For more info on debug options and the debug settings menu, check out
Debug mode
.
FPS vs UPS
The first thing to look at is your FPS/UPS counter in the top right.
FPS stands for Frames Per Second and relates to the work your graphics card is doing to display the picture on your screen. If your FPS is low, your screen will update less frequently, but your game will continue at regular speed.
UPS stands for Updates Per Second and relates to the calculations needed to advance the state of your world. If your UPS is low, your game will run in slow motion. Factorio always aims to have 60 FPS and UPS.
FPS can never be higher than UPS.
Which leaves you with 2 cases:
Low FPS, High UPS
: Your problem is graphical. Go to Factorio's graphics settings and adjust some settings here. Upgrading your graphics card will help with this.
Low FPS, Low UPS
: Your problem is low UPS. Continue following this tutorial to figure out what could be the cause and where you can save some UPS.
Decrypting the "time usage" screen
How it works
You should see a bunch of text and numbers like this:
Each line follows this format:
System name: average ms/minimum ms/maximum ms
Those numbers are in
milliseconds per tick
. A tick is one update step, it is for UPS what a "frame" is for FPS. Since Factorio aims for 60 ticks per second, the game has 16.667ms to calculate each tick. If it takes longer than this, then your UPS will drop below 60.
The 3 numbers for each line are the average time, minimum time, and maximum time taken by the system over the last 100 ticks.
This information is only telling you about the last 100 ticks, which is a little less than 2 seconds of gameplay. If your performance issues only happen some of the time or when you do something specific, you need to have the screen open while it is happening. If it happens too fast, you can take screenshots to read later. You can also use the "/perf-avg-frames 1000" command to increase the number of ticks considered to 1000 (or another number).
Now that you understand what this information is, look for
large numbers
. If you are experiencing consistent UPS issues, look at the
average times
. On the other hand, if you are experiencing occasional freezes or large stutters, look at the
maximum times
.
Remember, since 60 UPS is equivalent to 16.667ms per tick, you can think of it as 1ms of time costing you about 3.5 UPS. Anything above 1ms may be worth looking into, and anything above 5 is very significant.
When you've found some suspiciously large numbers, refer to the table below to see what the line means, whether you should worry about it, and how you can help:
Table of notable "time usage" lines
| Name | Explanation | How to solve |
| ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Last save | This is how long your last save took, and is not related to UPS | - |
| Frame cycle | This is the total time it took to render a frame. This can't ever be lower than 16.667ms. This doesn't give you any information that your UPS counter wouldn't tell you. | - |
| Wait For Update | This is the time your GPU waited for the world update. This should be roughly equal to the "Update" line below. Don't worry about it. | - |
| Render preparation (and sub-lines) | This is CPU-based work related to the rendering of the frame on your screen, costing UPS. This will increase if you zoom out or if you're looking at a particularly busy part of your factory. | - |
| Render (and sub-lines) | This is GPU-based work related to the rendering of the frame on your screen, costing FPS. This will increase if you zoom out or if you're looking at a particularly busy part of your factory. | - |
| Flip[On/Off] | This is the time spent waiting for the graphics driver to finish rendering the frame into the back-buffer, swapping it with front-buffer and presenting it to the screen. The "On" or "Off" in square brackets indicates if Vsync is enabled or not. | Try toggling Vsync on or off. |
| Sleep | When it took less than 16.667ms to prepare a tick, the game sleeps. This is normal and good. If this is above 0, then congrats, you have 60 UPS. | - |
| Update | This is where we get into the meat of things. The Update line is purely about the world tick and not about rendering the screen frame. This is usually where most of your frame time will be. | Look at the sub-lines to get more details. |
| Game update | The core systems of the game. | Look at the sub-lines to get more details. |
| Circuit networks | Self-explanatory. | Use fewer combinators and other circuit connections. |
| Transport lines | Related to belts. | Optimizing belt UPS is a dark art that is out of scope of this guide. |
| Fluid manager | Self-explanatory. | Reduce your amount of pipes. Use underground pipes (2 fluid entities) wherever they could replace 3 or more pipes. Replace nuclear power with solar power. |
| Heat manager | Self-explanatory. | Use less heat entities, for example by replacing nuclear power with solar power. |
| Entity manager | Related to "entities", which are a lot of things. This will usually be the largest number in your list. | To dig deeper into this,continue to the next part of the tutorial. |
| Electric networks | Self-explanatory. | This is particularly affected by thenumber of different electric networks, not their size. A single electric pole connected to nothing else is an electric network and is a performance cost. |
| Trains | Self-explanatory. | Use fewer but bigger trains. Use a train network optimized for UPS, which is also a dark art, out of scope of this guide. |
| Chart update | Related to refreshing chunks of your map, usually done by radars. | Reduce your number of radars. |
| Lua garbage incremental | This is related to mod scripts. | First, try and solve any issue in the "Script update" lines. If there is nothing there but you still have a high "Lua garbage incremental" cost, the show-lua-object-statisticsdebug optionmay help to find mods that create and destroy a lot of Lua objects. |
| Script update | The time taken to run mods' Lua scripts. Each "mod-XXX" sub-line is the cost to run the scripts of a particular mod. | Uninstall offending mods. If the performance is worse than expected, consider filing a bug with the mod's author. |
Hidden mod costs
A mod's line on the "Script update" section is not always the entirety of its cost! Mods can indirectly affect the time of core systems. For example, a mod that makes trains repath a lot might increase the Trains cost, and a mod that creates a lot of different electric networks would increase the Electric network cost.
Digging deeper with the "entity time usage" screen
The entity time usage screen
Return to the "Debug settings" menu, enable
show-entity-time-usage
and disable
show-time-usage
(It will get in the way).
On this screen, the "Entity manager" cost from the previous screen is split between each class of entity. The first number of each line is the time cost this tick, the second number is the number of active entities of this class.
Most lines are self explanatory, but a couple notes:
AssemblingMachine
: This isn't just assembling machines, but every building where you have to select a recipe (e.g. chemical plants, refineries, etc., but not furnaces). For this cost, the number of machines matters, not their speed. Fewer but faster machines (with beacons and modules) will cost less than many slow machines.
Inserter
: Use fewer inserters and have them work less often, e.g. with "inserter clocking".
Unit
: This is biters and spitters. Removing biters and spitters will remove this cost.
If you've ran out of things to optimize in this section, then you're just suffering from a factory that has grown bigger than your PC can handle. Congratulations! | wiki | https://wiki.factorio.com/Tutorial:Diagnosing_performance_issues_-_Factorio_Wiki |

Space Age
expansion exclusive feature.
The
lightning collector
is an upgraded version of the
lightning rod
from
Fulgora
that protects a larger area from getting struck by lightning, as well as
converting each strike to more electricity
than its counterpart. Like the lightning rod, the peak power production is limited only by the demands of the connected
electric system
, but the internal storage is subject to a 150 MW drain in addition to the load from the electric system.
Also like the lightning rod, the lightning collector cannot be crafted on any planet other than Fulgora, due to the other planets' lack of a strong magnetic field.

An example how the world generator might create a new map: Default settings with map seed 123456789
World generation is the procedure by which the in game landscape is generated. In short: a number of settings, editable at the start of a new world, define what that world will look like. This can dramatically alter gameplay — a new player is advised to start with the default settings before deciding to change their world.

Map generation presets
Overview of the map generation screen in Space Age
A preset may be chosen in the top left dropdown instead of manually configuring the generation. If playing in
Space Age
, presets will only change settings on
Nauvis
.
Default
Normal settings. The recommended way to play Factorio.
All sliders are set to the center position. Map height and width is unlimited, peaceful mode is disabled.
All other settings are set to their defaults:
| Enemy expansion | Default | Evolution | Default |
| -------------------------- | ------- | ---------------- | ------- |
| Enabled | Yes | Enabled | Yes |
| Maximum expansion distance | 7 | Time factor | 40 |
| Minimum group size | 5 | Destroy factor | 200 |
| Maximum group size | 20 | Pollution factor | 9 |
| Minimum cooldown (Minutes) | 4 | | |
| Maximum cooldown (Minutes) | 60 | | |
| Pollution | Default | Recipes/Technology | Default |
| ------------------------- | ------- | --------------------------- | ------- |
| Enabled | Yes | Technology price multiplier | 1 |
| Absorption modifier | 100% | | |
| Attack cost modifier | 100% | | |
| Minimum damage to trees | 60 | | |
| Absorbed per damaged tree | 10 | | |
| Diffusion ratio | 2% | | |
Rich resources
Resources patches on Nauvis have a larger richness, so you don't have to expand far.
Difference from default: Resources have 200% richness instead of 100%.
Marathon
Technologies are more expensive.
Difference from default: Technology price multiplier 4.
Death world
Biters are more dangerous and evolve faster.
Difference from default: 200% enemy base frequency and 200% enemy base size on Nauvis, 75% starting area size, enemy evolution time factor is set to 200, pollution factor is set to 12. The pollution absorption and attack cost modifiers are set to 50% instead of 100%
Death world marathon
Technologies are more expensive and biters are dangerous and plentiful. Only select this if you are a Factorio veteran.
Combines "Marathon" and "Death world" with some additional changes: Enemy evolution time factor is set to 150, pollution factor is set to 10. Attack cost modifier is set to 80% instead of 100% (50% for death world).
Rail world
Resource patches are large and spread far apart, to encourage train systems. Biters won't create any new bases or re-expand into cleared territory.
Difference from default: Resources on Nauvis are set to 33% frequency and 300% size. Nauvis water is set to 200% scale and 150% coverage. The evolution time factor is set to 20 from 40 and enemy expansion is disabled.
Ribbon world
The map height is limited to only 128 tiles, which introduces a range of challenges and interesting situations.
Difference from default: Map height on all planets is limited to 128. Resources on Nauvis are set to 300% frequency, 50% size and 200% richness. Nauvis water is set to 25% coverage and size. Starting area size is increased to 300%.
Lakes
Lakes with consistent size and cliffs that tend to follow the coastline. Forest paths are disabled. The same elevation as Factorio 1.1.
Difference from default: Tree coverage is set to 50%. This preset uses the map and cliff generation from version
1.1
Island
A large island in an endless ocean. Forest paths are disabled.
Difference from default: Tree coverage is set to 50%. Terrain map type is set to island. This preset uses the map and cliff generation from version 1.1.
Manual configuration
It is possible experiment with different settings by opening the map preview, changing the settings and observing their effects. This makes it possible to directly observe what exactly particular settings modify in the world, beyond the textual descriptions provided on this page. If playing in
Space Age
, you can preview any planet by using the drop-down menu in the top right. There will also be additional settings for planet-specific settings, and each setting will show an icon telling which planet it affects.
The seed is the starting value for the random number generator that Factorio uses for generating the world based on the generation settings. This means that even with the same generation settings, the world can look very different depending on the seed. If playing in Space Age, a single seed will effect all planets at once.
All resources and terrain features can be disabled by unchecking the checkbox in front of them.
Resources
Frequency determines the number of resource patches in a given area. It does not affect resource patch size or richness. A setting of 200% frequency that means roughly double the patches can be found in a given area.
The size setting adjusts the size of the resource patches. Setting the slider to 200% means the surface area of the patch is doubled.
Richness defines the yield of every ore tile and every oil field. If richness is set to 200%, each ore tile and oil field contains about double the amount of ore/oil. Outside of this, resource patch richness increases by distance from the starting area.
If playing in Space Age, resource settings can be changed for each planet individually, even if that resource appears on multiple planets. For example,
coal
can be configured differently for its appearences on Nauvis and
Vulcanus
.
Terrain
Setting the map type to island generates a single island around the spawn point and endless ocean beyond that. The normal map type generates endless terrain.
Water scale changes how much space there is between lakes. The smaller the scale, the swampier the terrain. Higher scale leads to bigger oceans separated by bigger landmasses. Water coverage influences the overall amount of water. Reducing it generates small lakes, increasing it generates large oceans.
The settings for trees behave in the same way. Higher scale increases the distance between forests while lower scale reduces it. High tree coverage allows to completely cover the world in trees, and low coverage nearly removes them from the world.
Cliff frequency influences how many cliff lines there are in the world. Higher frequency means more cliffs, lower frequency reduces their number. The continuity setting changes how long and unbroken the cliff lines are. Low continuity leads to very short lines, high continuity to long, nearly unbroken lines of cliffs. Cliffs can be set separately for their appearances on
Fulgora
and
Gleba
.
The moisture settings control the distribution of grass versus desert. Higher bias generates more grass, lower bias generates more desert. Higher scale increases the size of the grass/desert areas, low scale leads to small grass and desert patches.
The terrain type setting controls the distribution of red desert versus sand. Higher bias generates more red desert, lower bias generates more sand. Higher scale increases the size of the red desert/sand areas, low scale leads to small red desert and sand patches.
Vulcanus volcanism determines the distribution of lava compared to the mountains and ashlands on Vulcanus. Higher scale means more lava rivers, lower scale generates more mountains instead. Higher coverage means larger lava pools, smaller coverage means more ashlands.
Gleba water control the distribution of swamps compared to the highlands on
Gleba
. Higher scale means more swamplands, lower scale generates more infrequent patches of highland. Higher coverage means larger bodies of deep water, lower coverage means less water and larger highlands.
Gleba plants control the distribution of Gleba's many flora. It behaves similarly to Nauvis trees.
Enemy
The enemy tab
Frequency determines the number of enemy bases in a given area. It does not affect enemy base size. A setting of 200% frequency that means roughly double the enemy bases can be found in a given area.
The size setting adjusts the size of enemy bases. Setting the slider to 200% means the surface area covered by the enemy bases is doubled. Bases can be changed for both Nauvis and Gleba individually.
There are two ways to disable enemies alltogether: "no enemies mode", or "peaceful mode". Selecting either will disable some
achievements
.
No enemies
:
Nests
will still spawn, but no enemies themselves will spawn from them.
Pollution
will still effect the nests by increasing their health.
In Space Age, on Vulcanus, Demolishers will also not spawn, and thus there will be no territories. On Gleba, destroying egg rafts will no longer spawn wrigglers.
Pentapod egg
and
biter egg
will no longer spawn their creatures upon spoiling, and will instead simply disappear.
Peaceful mode
: Enemies don't begin fights, only responding if the player (or a structure) fires at them. Only the enemies located near the fired shot are aggravated and they do not call other enemies to join them. The aggravated enemies primarily attack the structures and players that initiated the aggression and also the structures that block their paths. After destroying their targets, most of the time the aggravated enemies will return to being peaceful, but some of them continue a nonstop rampage where they target nearby structures (but not faraway ones). Additionally, when a map is in peaceful mode, the enemies will not
expand
.
In Space Age, Demolishers will not attack if you build in their territory, but will still destroy buildings if they are placed in its path.
The starting area is an almost circular radius around the spawn point that does not contain enemy bases or demolisher territory. Increasing its size pushes the bases further out, while decreasing its size generates enemy bases closer to the spawn point. The size setting does not have any other effect.
Enemy expansion
can be enabled/disabled and further adjusted using the below settings.
| Enemy expansion setting | Description |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Maximum expansion distance | The maximum distance enemies will look to expand from other enemy bases. |
| Minimum group size | The minimum size of an enemy expansion party modified by the current evolution level. |
| Maximum group size | The maximum size of an enemy expansion party modified by the current evolution level. |
| Minimum cooldown (Minutes) | The minimum time between enemy expansions being sent out. |
| Maximum cooldown (Minutes) | The maximum time between enemy expansions being sent out. |
Evolution
can be enabled/disabled and further adjusted using the below settings.
| Evolution setting | Description |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Time factor | Controls how fast evolution increases over time. |
| Destroy factor | Controls how fast evolution increases due to destroying enemy spawners. |
| Pollution factor | Controls how fast evolution increases due to producing pollution. |
Advanced
The map width and height allows to generate maps with finite resources and area. It is possible to limit generation in only direction, alike the
ribbon world
. Technology price multiplier allows one to multiply the
technology cost
.
Pollution
can be enabled/disabled and further adjusted using the below settings.
| Pollution setting | Description |
| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Absorption modifier | Modifier of how much pollution is absorbed by trees and tiles. |
| Attack cost modifier | Modifier of how much pollution is absorbed by enemy attacks. |
| Minimum damage to trees | Trees have 4 different stages of the progression towards being destroyed by pollution. Any pollution above this amount starts the process of moving a tree towards a more damaged stage. |
| Absorbed per damaged tree | Trees have 4 different stages of the progression towards being destroyed by pollution. This value specifies how much pollution is absorbed when moving to a more damaged stage. |
| Diffusion ratio | The amount of pollution diffused into neighboring chunks per second. |
Map exchange string
A map exchange string generally looks like this:

The map exchange string can be used to share all map generation settings between different players. The player can paste the string (using
CTRL
+
V
) into the map exchange string field and the game will set the generation settings to the settings saved in the string, resulting in a complete copy of the map when generated.
The map exchange string can be retrieved from save files by going into the load game screen, selecting the desired map, clicking the map exchange string button in the upper right corner and copying the string from the window that pops up.
For a technical description of the map exchange string, see
map exchange string format
.
Mechanics
Starting area
There is a second internal starting area that is completely separate from the starting area that can be changed in the enemy settings tab. This starting area always has a constant size and affects the spawning of resources, cliffs and water directly at the spawn. The map generation logic makes sure that there is always at least one patch of
coal
,
iron ore
,
copper ore
, and
stone
each. Furthermore, there is always a lake in the starting area, even when water is turned off, and there are never any cliffs there.
Uranium ore
and
crude oil
do not spawn in the starting area. The richness of the ore patches is slightly influenced by the frequency setting.
[1]
Chunks
A map is endless by default, though its size can be limited by height and width — see above. Because it is technically endless, the whole map is not generated from the start. Instead, a new
chunk
of the map is generated only when needed, similar to other procedurally generated world games.
Invisible chunks (fog of war)
Outside of the visible chunk area, an invisible area of about 3 chunks wide is generated as a preloading mechanism. Enemies may be located inside these invisible chunks and can attack the player from there, while
artillery turrets
and
wagons
may automatically shoot enemy bases in these chunks if they are within their automatic range. Invisible chunks are also generated if pollution is generated heavily; the game generates (invisible) chunks as it needs to spread the pollution into the area.
Charting (removing fog of war)
As long as a chunk is invisible, the part of the players map stays black. This changes when a chunk is
charted
, which means when it is "touched" by a radar. This can be either the player's internal radar, which is always available and continually charts chunks around the player, or the
radar
entity. If a far-away and thus ungenerated chunk is charted, it will be generated, together with the above-mentioned invisible 3 chunk radius of map around it.
Maximum map size and used memory
The map size is limited to 2,000 x 2,000 kilometers; internally, this is a square 2,000,000 tiles on a side, with an area of 4,000,000,000,000 (4 trillion) square tiles (assuming 1 tile = 1 meter on a side yields 2,000 x 2,000 km = 4 million square km). In real-world terms, this is between the sizes of India and Australia (or about 40% the area of the United States, or over 10 times the area of Germany). It would take around 200
game-minutes
(ca 3.3 hours real time) to reach that border from the center when riding a
train
fueled with
rocket
or
nuclear fuel
. This makes the world essentially endless for practical purposes. The generated chunks are fully mapped and stored in the player's RAM, which is the practical limiting factor of exploration.
Because chunks are only generated in and close around the area revealed by radar, it is possible to reach that border without overloading your computer, as the size of the map in computer memory is dependent only on chunks actually generated. If only a narrow stripe of land is explored to far away, this remains manageable.
History
2.0.7
:
Added "No enemies" setting that disables enemy unit spawning from enemy spawners, map gen, and items. Does not disable enemy spawners.
Added "Lakes" map generation preset
Map generation system reworked
0.17.44
:
The resource frequency slider in the map generator settings has a smaller influence over the amount of ore in the starting area patches.
0.17.0
:
Resource generation changed significantly:
The starting area contains only iron, copper, coal and stone, in very predictable amounts. Uranium and oil are excluded from the starting area.
Resource generation settings now have a much more dramatic effect. Increased the number of steps for each setting.
Ore patches are slightly less frequent but richer.
There will be a more balanced amount of resources within a large enough region.
Many other small tweaks.
Biter generation changed significantly:
Biter richness slider removed, biter placement is only configured by size and frequency settings.
Biter generation settings now have a much more dramatic effect. Increased the number of steps for each setting.
Biter bases will increase in size, frequency and number of worms depending on the distance from player spawn.
Worm size increases depending on the distance from player spawn.
Small biter bases are now closer to the player spawn.
At large distances from player spawn, biter base frequency is lower than before but biter bases are larger.
Other small tweaks.
Terrain generation changed significantly:
Water is generated as large lakes instead of swamps.
Tile generation improved. Tile placement respects biomes better.

0.15.0
:
Extended map generator settings to include an advanced section.
Added map generator presets.
The map seed is used to generate unique maps instead of just shifting the starting position.
0.13.7

Ratio
The following shows the minimum ratio of machines and items required to produce metalluric science packs such that all number of machines are whole numbers. Items per min are calculated using machines with no
modules
or
beacons
, with all machines running at full speed (machine-based productivity bonuses are applied). The crafting of some intermediate products are not shown (due to the assumption that these items are available in large quantities within the factory).

Fluoroketone
is the heated baseline form of fluoroketone coolant, and must be cooled in the
cryogenic plant
into
fluoroketone (cold)
before it can be used in an industrial process.
While the hot fluoroketone recipe does not have any direct requirements to be produced on
Aquilo
, the recipe uses
ammonia
and
fluorine
, both of which are only found on Aquilo and neither of which can be put into
barrels
. So it is not possible to generate new hot fluoroketone on any planet other than Aquilo.
Hot fluoroketone producers
The following recipes and processes generate some hot fluoroketone from cold fluoroketone as a byproduct. The recipes below do not produce extra hot fluoroketone as
productivity
products.
Cryogenic science pack
Quantum processor
Fusion generator
, as part of producing power from
plasma

Explosive rockets
are ammunition for the
rocket launcher
,
rocket turret
and the
spidertron
. They have high range and damage which makes them perfect for attacking
enemy buildings
. While the total base damage is only 150 vs the 200 from a standard
rocket
, 100 of it is splash, which can be highly effective against groups of enemies. This is approximately triple that of a
grenade
.

The
rocket silo
is an important production building that serves as the sole win condition and a source of
space science packs
in the base game. In
Space Age
, it is instead the only way to launch items and the player off
Nauvis
to orbiting space platforms to visit the neighboring planets of
Vulcanus
,
Fulgora
,
Gleba
, and
Aquilo
.
Building a silo requires, among other things,
electric engine units
,
processing units
, and
concrete
, which all must be produced in
assembling machines
or
foundries
and cannot be crafted by hand from raw materials. The rocket itself can only be produced in the silo.
Once the silo has been built and placed it can be filled with
processing units
,
low density structure
, and
rocket fuel
, which will create
rocket parts
within the silo. 100 rocket parts are needed to construct a rocket (50 parts in Space Age
). The silo accepts
productivity modules
, and due to the high resource cost of rockets, silos are a prime candidate for their use. Once constructed, the rocket will rise into position and can be launched. It is required to place a cargo landing pad somewhere on the planet in order to launch a rocket.
Once a rocket has been constructed, the silo will continue to craft a second rocket within the silo. If both are constructed, once the first rocket has been launched, the second will rise into place without the silo going through its normal animation of closing and reopening its doors. This is particularly useful in Space Age when crafting speeds are faster and rockets are in increased demand.

Base game
The rocket silo is unlocked with its
respective technology
using all
science packs
except for military. It requires 10 low density structure, rocket fuel, and processing units to make 1
rocket part
, for a total of 1,000 of each for a single rocket.
Before a rocket can be launched, the player must place a
cargo landing pad
somewhere on the planet. The landing pad can be anywhere on the planet, with no restrictions on distance from the silo, but only one can be placed.
Launching a rocket requires a payload and launching one for the first time will trigger the victory screen, which thanks the player for playing and invites them to keep growing their factory, with the options of exiting the game, viewing the credits, or continuing the game. The rocket can be launched manually by clicking the "Launch" button. Checking the "Send to orbit automatically" checkbox will make the rocket launch automatically once it has a payload.
Only two items can be used as a payload. The first is a
satellite
; launching a rocket with one of these will return a shipment of 1,000
space science packs
to the cargo landing pad roughly 29 seconds after the launch is triggered. The second is a...

: Grants the "So long and thanks for all the fish!" achievement. Other than this, it also wastes the launch.

expansion exclusive feature.
Basics
In Space Age, the silo is unlocked far earlier in the game, requiring 1,000 of only
automation
,
logistics
and
chemical
science packs. The silo is a critical building for transporting items and the player offplanet to orbiting
space platforms
. Rockets are built identically to the base game, except that a single rocket part takes only 1 of each material instead of 10 and only 50 rocket parts are required per rocket. This means that a single rocket requires only 50 of each resource. The silo greatly benefits from higher
quality
productivity modules as well as the
rocket part productivity
infinite technology, both of which can reduce the cost of rockets even further.
The rocket can be manually launched in one of three ways:
Deliver cargo: launch with a payload of any size or composition at any orbiting platform
New platform: if the silo contains exactly one
space platform starter pack
, clicking this will open the map and invite the player to enter a name for the new platform.
Travel to platform: the rocket will launch to any orbiting platform with the player as its sole payload. The player can bring any equipped
armor
, their installed modules, and any weapons, but no ammo for those weapons.
The rocket silo's GUI in Space Age
Rocket capacity
Unlike in the base game, a space age rocket can accept nearly every item in the game as a payload. This is expressed by the silo as a weight limit. Every item in the game has a rocket capacity which is the maximum number of items that can fit in a single rocket. An item's rocket capacity can be read by the circuit network by feeding an item into the
selector combinator
and choosing the respective mode of operation. As a general rule of thumb, the more complex the item, the fewer can fit within a rocket.
Some items, like the rocket silo itself and the
atomic bomb
, are too heavy for rockets, and so the raw materials must be shipped to orbit individually and assembled on the destination planet.
Orbital requests
The rocket silo can detect requests from any space platform in orbit around the current planet. These can be satisfied in two ways.
If "Automatic requests from space platforms" is
not
selected, the silo acts as a large container. Items can be inserted and removed with
inserters
. If the silo receives a full rocket of a single item that is requested, the rocket will automatically launch to the platform requesting that item, even if the payload is more than what is being requested. If multiple platforms are requesting the same item, the rocket will prioritize the earliest platform that the player created.
If automatic requests
is
selected, the silo acts similar to a
requester chest
.
Logistic robots
will fill the silo automatically from the
logistic network
(including from
buffer chests
), and the rocket will launch automatically when full, unless the requesting platform has set a minimum payload to a lower amount than a full load. If there are items in the rocket inventory when this box is selected, those items will be moved to the silo's trash slots and be removed by logistics robots.
Regardless of option selected, the rocket will only launch automatically when it contains at least one item.
The silo can be connected to the
circuit network
, with two output functions.
Output requests: Outputs the sum of requests from all orbiting platforms, if any. A request is considered satisfied and will be removed from the output the instant the rocket launch is triggered, not when the delivery to the platform actually happens.
Output contents: Outputs the contents of the rocket silo. If automatic requests is selected, this option will do nothing.
Maximum throughput
In the base game, a fully moduled silo has +611% crafting speed from beacons and +40% productivity.
Modules accelerate crafting time in the first phase, but have no effect on animations in the other phases.
There are five phases to a rocket launch.
Working
Rocket parts must be assembled in the silo before the rocket can be deployed.
The best possible time to assemble 100 rocket parts, based on the rocket part recipe and the module effects, is 1250 ticks, or ~20.833 seconds.
1250 ticks elapsed.
Preparing rocket for launch
The rocket is brought up out of the silo so a payload can be inserted, if any.
This animation lasts 890 ticks, or ~14.833 seconds.
2140 ticks elapsed.
Waiting to launch rocket
The payload must be inserted.
One fast inserter arm swing to insert a Satellite is 14 ticks, or ~0.233 seconds.
2154 ticks elapsed.
Launching rocket
The rocket is launched with the payload. This phase ends when the result inventory appears inside the silo.
1162 ticks, or ~19.367 seconds.
3316 ticks elapsed.
Reset
The silo door must close before the cycle begins again.
368 ticks, or ~6.133 seconds.
If a second rocket was buffered within the silo, this step is skipped.
Conclusions
Grand Total: 3684 ticks
, which gives a total cycle time of ~61.417 seconds, including time spent building rocket parts and inserting the payload.
With a build time of 1250 + 14, the delay from animations is 2420 ticks.
[1]
Space Age
In Space Age, the rocket silo gained the ability to buffer a second rocket ready to load and launch
[2]
. If a second rocket is ready, then the rocket silo skips the door close/open animation. This results in a rocket launch approximately every 27 seconds, with sufficient speed and/or productivity bonuses (enough to get 111 rocket parts per minute).

Trivia
Prior to version
2.0
, the rocket could accept any item as cargo; however, most did nothing in particular and simply wasted the launch. Notable exceptions included:
Spoiler! Click to view.
Vehicles
: When a vehicle was inserted into the payload slot, the player could enter the rocket like they would any other vehicle, then launch and ride it.
This allowed a fast-moving view of one's base (as the game world is internally 2-dimensional, the rocket actually simply moved north along the map), and then returned the player next to the launching silo once the launch animation had finished.
If all space near the rocket silo is occupied, the player is placed at spawn instead.
Wasted the launch, as the rocket's sole payload slot is occupied by the vehicle, rather than a satellite. (Having any number of satellites in the car's trunk or the "astronaut"s inventory does not count.)
Space science pack
: Returned one
raw fish
for every science pack that was launched, but no more than 100 raw fishes per launch.

Factorio simulates many aspects of real physics and the quite correct use of energy is one important aspect.
Energy and work are directly dependent.

Waste and pollution: differences from real physics
Definitions
Energy
can be thought of as stored work. It is measured in joules (symbol J).
Work
is the result of converting one type of energy to another. It is also measured in joules. (See the
Wikipedia article on work
.)
Power
is the rate of work - the amount of work done, or energy produced, over a unit of time. It is measured in watts (symbol W). One watt is equal to one joule divided by one second, i.e. one joule per second.
Efficiency
is the ratio between
useful
work done and the energy expended. It usually expressed as a percentage. Its unit would be joules per joule, but dividing something by the same thing cancels them out, so it is dimensionless.
Waste
is the difference between energy consumed and useful work done.
If you have a source of power and apply it over some time in order to perform some physical task, you have performed work, using a quantity of energy.

Units#Work
.
Types of energy
Energy is available as:
Fuel
. The energy contained in a unit of fuel is described as its
fuel energy
. Each
building or vehicle that can be fuelled
generally consumes fuel at a rate according to its power rating as long as it's working. For example:
A car's power is 250 kW, meaning it consumes 250 kJ worth of fuel per second while it's accelerating (or driving at maximum speed).
Nuclear reactors
consume uranium fuel cells at a rate of 40 MW. Like most other fueled appliances, this is constant as long as it has fuel to consume.
Conversely,
boilers
consume fuel at a rate according to their
load
(rate of steam being carried away), up to a
maximum
of their power rating.
Electricity
taken from the electric network. In addition to active power consumption, appliances have a
drain
, the power they consume even when not working as long as they're connected to the power network. For example:
An
assembling machine 1
has drain 3 kW and power consumption 90 kW. It consumes 3 kJ per second while not working, and 93 kJ per second while working.
Charge in
accumulators
,
battery armor modules
, and flying robots.
Abstractly, energy also exists as:
The potential energy of a piece of ore or unit of oil/water on the ground or on/in a belt/pipe, compared to the same piece/unit under the ground/in the sea.
Kinetic energy in robots, vehicles, and items, and the player's avatar while moving.
The damage dealt by weapons, vehicles and fire.
The additional order (i.e. reduced entropy) in an assembled item compared to its components.
Types of work
One can observe work being done in Factorio in numerous ways. Mostly these are abstract and not measured in game in joules. For example:
The player avatar moving their body and equipment around, mining, building, and crafting, performs work. Unlike in real life, this doesn't require any energy (i.e. your avatar doesn't need to eat); its efficiency is therefore infinite. On the other hand, biters and their spawners apparently absorb pollution and use its energy to move, bite, spit, and reproduce.
Transport belts and offshore pumps perform work by moving their contents from one place to another.
Turrets
perform work by rotating to aim and pulling the trigger. Unrealistically, but as a conscious design decision, none of these require a source of energy, and so their efficiency is also infinite.
Turrets (and other projectiles) also perform work by converting the chemical energy of a bullet's propellant to kinetic energy in the bullet itself, which itself proceeds to do work in the form of damage.
Laser turrets
convert electricity into damage rather more directly.
Flamethrowers
and
flamethrower turrets
convert the chemical energy of oil into damage.
Vehicles (
cars
,
tanks
and
trains
) convert the chemical energy of fuel into kinetic energy (i.e. motion). When they collide with things, they convert some of this kinetic energy into damage (which is why they then slow down).
Inserters
and (non-offshore)
pumps
perform work by moving items and fluids from one place to another. This requires energy, either in the form of fuel (for a
burner inserter
) or electricity (for other types).
Burner mining drills
and
electric mining drills
convert energy (in fuel and electricity respectively) into potential energy held by a piece of ore on the ground;
pumpjacks
do the same thing to put crude oil in a pipe.
Labs
perform work by converting science packs and electricity into research.
Machines that produce items, converting input products into output products (
refineries
,
assembling machines
etc.), do work by assembling the components into a more ordered form, as a product. The resulting increase in order is a form of potential energy. Most use electricity to do this; the major exceptions are
stone furnaces
and
steel furnaces
.
The types of work that
are
measured in joules in game are:
Boilers
convert the chemical energy of fuel into heat, which it transfers into
water
to produce
steam
.
Nuclear reactors
convert the nuclear energy in
uranium fuel cells
into heat.
Heat exchangers
then transfer this heat, conveyed by
heat pipes
, into water, producing steam.
Steam engines
and
steam turbines
turn the energy stored in steam into electricity.
Solar panels
convert sunlight into electricity. ("Sunlight" isn't an expendible resource, so this effectively has infinite efficiency.)
Waste and pollution: differences from real physics
A process with higher efficiency (useful work per unit energy consumed) produces less waste. In real life,
total
work done is always equal to energy consumed, but the amount of
useful
work done may be (usually is) less, but cannot be more. In other words, a process can't have an efficiency greater than 100%, meaning it would do more work than the energy you put into it. This is known as the principle of conservation of energy. The difference between useful and total work is
waste
or
entropy
, usually in the form of heat; the impossibility of using (all) waste energy to perform work is known as the second law of thermodynamics.
The actual amount of work done by most processes in game is not quantified, but nonetheless they are generally not 100% efficient. This abstract inefficiency is represented by
pollution
, produced by almost all machines when they do work (as well as being what happens to the physical matter of fuel when it's consumed). One exception is the electric network. In real life electric cables, transformers etc. hum and get hot, but in Factorio the electric network does not produce pollution.
In Factorio, some things do however have greater than 100% efficiency: transport belts and offshore pumps move stuff without needing to be powered, turrets rotate and shoot without power, and players move around and build things without needing to eat. | wiki | https://wiki.factorio.com/Energy_and_work_-_Factorio_Wiki |

Jelly
is a resource that can be crafted out of
jellynuts
found on
Gleba
. When eaten, it provides a 150% movement speed bonus.
The 2% chance of getting seeds means that on average, a mature
jellystem
will yield 1
jellynut seed
. To get an increasing number of seeds, jellynut processing needs to be done with
productivity
bonuses, either in the
biochamber
or with
productivity modules
. Or both.
History
2.0.22
:
Jelly is no longer mined from

Steel chests
are the largest of three types of chests used for basic item storage.
Steel processing
must be researched before they can be built. Steel chests, like other chests, can be connected to the
circuit network
to provide their contents as a signal.
A steel chest can contain 48 stacks of items. This is 50% more than an
iron chest
and 3 times the capacity of a
wooden chest
. Steel chests are used to create all logistic chests, which all share the steel chest's 48-stack capacity.
History
0.13.0

{{imagelink|icon|link|caption}}
The link and caption parameters are optional. If both are not present the link will go to the page with the name of the first parameter with language suffix if the icon is on a non-english page (e.g. icon/de on a German page). The text next the icon is translated to the language of the page it is on.
If the second parameter is present, the links will go to exactly that page, no language suffixes are added. The text next to the icon is then translated from that second parameter.
If the third parameter is present the text next to the icon is exactly that text.
Space age parameter: Either the string
yes
,
no
or nothing. Determines whether to display a symbol in the top right of the icon that shows whether the linked item/recipe/technology is exclusive to space age (
yes
) or only available if space age is deactivated (
no
). Most items are available with and without space age, in that case this parameter should be left out. (Optional, default: unset)

Recurring tasks
Also done by normal users
These are links that should be checked over to ensure nothing strange is going on.
Pages with broken file links
-- There are a few pages here that are here out of necessity (mainly templates and some sandboxes), ensure no new pages or existing main namespace pages pop up.
Broken redirects
-- Should only contain pages that are not yet translated, any pages that do not already exist in English should be removed
Double redirects
-- Must always stay empty. In the event of A>B>C, make A>C directly.
Unused files
-- Ensure no new files appear here (from your perspective, some may be used in the future) and mark them for deletion/delete them. Files that were uploaded recently (around 1-2 weeks ago) can stay, but after that they can and should be deleted.
Outdated images
-- These images should be updated or merged with already updated images.
Admin only
Actions to clean up these categories should be done according to common sense. Some time in the future we should have a public policy on what do delete and what to keep etc, but for now only
User:Bilka
handles big deletions.

Bot actions/pages
These pages are updated every Friday when the FFF comes out, when there have been big changes to the pages they list, and when a user requests that they be updated. Currently,
User:Bilka
handles the backend of the bot performing these actions.
News
Factorio:Wanted pages
Factorio:Redirects
Factorio:Top pages
The infoboxes are partially updated automatically, changes are shown as performed by
User:BilkaBot
. Item and recipe icons are also partially automated through the same bot. If you want to report an error with one of the changes, request another parameter to be automatically updated, or ask for an update of the values because the most recent Factorio version changed something, please contact one of the active admins.
User:BilkaBot
also automatically updates the
version history
subpages,
Template:VersionNav
and
Main Page/Latest versions
whenever a new version comes out.
Current tasks
Clean-up of redirects/less links going via redirects on normal pages
Average priority (doesn't have to be done within in the next week, but should be done within a few weeks, up to months)
Useful pages
Factorio:Redirects
(
Special:ListRedirects
)
Delete a redirect/replace a redirect with a direct link on a page if:
The redirect is used to correct casing (eg. Passive Provider Chest → Passive provider chest), is a research URL without "(research)" (eg. Advanced electronics → Advanced electronics (research)), or comes from an old name (e.g. Diesel locomotive → Locomotive)
and has 0 incoming links.
The redirect has an url like "Railway/Train station/Train stop" (subpage (of a subpage))
and has 0 incoming links.
Don't delete redirects that have 0 inbound links if:
it redirects a word in a language to the right language page (eg. Baum → Tree/de).
the redirect contains (achievement), these redirects aid users searching for a specific achievement name.
Redirects are not a bad thing in themselves so we should not get rid of them completely (thus average priority). The aim is to rather clean up pages that link to a lot of redirects by using direct links to the right pages. This enforces the correct naming of pages, better overall style, and eliminates problems with translations due to them linking to the wrongly named pages, so the pages are created under the wrong name, so they have to be moved.
A note on redirects such as Baum → Tree/de (a word in a language redirected to the right language page): These redirects are useful for searching in different languages than English. Without them, finding an item in a different language is significantly harder since the right name can only be found in the text of the page. However, directly linking to these redirects should be avoided since item names often change in translations.
A note on the difference between trusted users and admins
Trusted users are users who have additional rights on the wiki, such as the ability to delete pages. However, trusted users are not part of the moderation team, and should not discipline rule violations. They are free to undo or correct edits that are rule violations or to enforce the style guidelines, but anything outside of that (giving a user a warning etc) should be reserved to administrators. | wiki | https://wiki.factorio.com/Factorio:Admin_noticeboard_-_Factorio_Wiki |

Portable solar panels
are the basic power generating units for
modular armor
and the
spidertron
. They provide only a small amount of power, and only during the daytime.
Portable solar panels can be used to slowly recharge
energy shields
out of combat, but are nearly useless for
personal laser defense
or
exoskeleton
, even with a large number of
batteries
.
Portable solar panels are 1×1 in size and are therefore primarily used in
modular armor
, which has a 5×5 grid that cannot usefully hold a much more powerful 4×4
portable fission reactor
or
portable fusion reactor
. (It could store one, but there would be no room for anything to use the power.)
The more advanced armors should almost always use portable fusion reactors instead.
History
0.17.0
:

Repair packs
are used to repair items. They can be used by the
player
character with the
Left mouse button
or by
construction robots
. Each repair pack repairs 600 health to a building, 2 per tool durability. Repair packs can only be used on buildings already placed, and can't repair something in the player's inventory.

Boompuffs
are part of the natural

in
Gleba
. They are tall lichens with pressurized gas sacs that ferments decaying matter into explosive gasses.
Cutting down boompuffs causes many small explosions around the area of removal, damaging things within the radius, including other boompuffs.

The
steel plate
is an advanced material made by smelting
iron plates
again. It is used in many advanced recipes, including electrical distribution logistics, military items, and upgraded production machines. Some of these products in turn are used in the
Production science pack
, which requires a total of 25 steel plates.
Because the recipe for steel contains a ratio of 5 iron : 1 steel, it requires less space to transport once processed. Because of this, it is easier to transport the finished steel instead of smelting the steel where it needs to be used.

Barrels
can be used to store and transport 50 units of various fluids. Since they are solid objects, they can be used as an alternative to pipes, once
fluid handling
is researched. The barrels themselves are reusable once the fluids are drained.
Barrels stack in groups of 10. A single
cargo wagon
can hold 400 barrels, which gives a capacity of 20,000 units per cargo wagon – 30,000 fewer units than the capacity of a
fluid wagon
.
Empty barrels have a rocket capacity
of 200. Full barrels, regardless of fluid, have a rocket capacity
of 100. As such, a single rocket can carry 5000 units of any fluid which can be barrelled.

Example of use
Barrels are useful in situations where pipes are not available or a bad option, such as oil production far away from your main factory, or when transporting fluids to another planet in
Space Age
. Barrels can be transported with a
belt transport system
or
railway
, by
logistic robots
, via
car
or
tank
, or in the
player
's inventory. A simple example with

The scenario system allows save-based mods to be created, so that installing mods separately is not necessary. This allows for server side scripting, or to provide a separate objective than the vanilla freeplay (which is actually a scenario, just like the
tutorial campaign
).
Scenarios count as mods for the purpose of isolating
achievements
.

Creation
Creation of a scenario starts in the
map editor
. The map editor allows an author to save a map that they have created as a scenario. This allows players to add special scripting to the scenario.
There are two ways to create a scenario:
Via the
Map editor
.
Creating a new folder in the scenarios folder, and adding a control.lua.
Differences between scenarios, saves, and mods
There are a few differences between a scenario, a save, and a mod. In a way, a scenario takes parts from both.
Scenarios, unlike mods, cannot add any prototypes to the game. The only type of scripting allowed in a scenario is scripting that would occur in control.lua.
Scenarios can have premade maps, such as the supply scenario, or can have maps made with the map generator, such as freeplay.
Scenarios do not need to be installed client side, unlike mods. This allows servers to implement small changes to gameplay on their end, such as displaying a MOTD to joining players.
Scenarios, unlike normal saves, are stored in a different folder.
Scenarios can be used to create a bit of a story, as the campaign does.
Playing a scenario
There are several scenarios included into the game by default. To play a scenario, click Play->Scenarios, and choose either a user scenario, or a scenario from the base game or mod. The Freeplay scenario is the same as the basic game, where the objective is to launch a rocket.
Upon choosing a scenario to play and saving the game, a normal save will be created that encompasses the map itself, and the control.Lua scripting that was provided by the scenario. This can be removed by deleting the script.dat and control.Lua files from the save, turning it into a normal save. Do this at your own risk, as it may break the save depending on how intertwined the scenario is with the save.
Installing scenarios
Scenarios made by other players can be installed into a folder called scenarios in the player's
user data directory
. It can then be played from the scenarios menu.
Scenarios added by mods are also shown in the Scenarios menu.
Scenario file structure
Scenarios do not have access to the settings stage and data stage parts of the
Data Lifecycle
. This means they rely entirely on runtime scripting via the control.lua file. Scenarios can contain a
description.json
file to mark them as multiplayer compatible.
Packaging a scenario in a mod
Scenarios must be packaged into a mod to be distributed on the mod portal.
Inside a
mod
add a "scenarios" folder, and copy your scenario into that folder. If you created a scenario with the map editor, you can find it in the scenarios folder in your
user data directory
.
description.json
A json file in the scenario folder that can have the following fields:
multiplayer-compatible -
bool
- Default: false
is-main-game -
bool
- Default: false
order -
Order
Example
{
"multiplayer-compatible"
:
true
,
"order"
:
"d"
}
Localization of scenario name and description
Scenario name and description, which are seen in the "Start a new game" scenario selector are localised using
locale files
inside the scenario. The keys are
scenario-name
and
description
, both without a [category]. Example from freeplay/locale/en/freeplay.cfg:
scenario-name=Freeplay
description=Your task is to launch a rocket into space. Start from nothing, work your way up with automation, and don't forget to protect yourself from the natives.\n[font=default-bold]This is the intended way of playing Factorio.[/font]

The
decider combinator
is part of the circuit network and one of four types of combinators available in the game (with the other three being the
constant combinator
,
arithmetic combinator
, and
selector combinator
). It is used to make comparisons of signals on the network. Signals can be compared using the following:
"is greater than" (
>
)
"is less than" (
<
)
"greater than or equal to" (
>=
)
"less than or equal to" (
<=
)
"is equal to" (
=
)
"is not equal to" (
!=
)
As shown in the picture below showing the GUI, the signal on the left is being compared to that of the right.
Function
The internal logic process has three steps:
Values for each individual input signal(s) (items of the same name) on the red and green wires are summed within the combinator.
The decider combinator GUI specifies a "first" input signal, a comparison (>, <, =, >=, <=, !=), and a "second" input signal or constant.
If the comparison returns true, the output is one or more signals with a value of 1 or the unchanged input value(s), or a single signal carrying either a sum of input signals or the number of passed tests. (
see table below
)
The decider combinator can handle
logic signals
.
Further notes:
Using the Everything output with "Input count" will pass all non-zero input values to the output as long as the condition is true. Using the Everything output with "1" will output 1 ONLY for all non-zero inputs.
The Each input will re-apply the comparison for each input signal individually, and will pass the selected output for each input that passes the conditional.
The Everything input functions as a logical AND, and will return true only if ALL non-zero inputs pass the conditional, and returns true if there are no inputs at all (so "everything ≠ 0" always passes).
The Anything input functions as a logical OR, and will return true if ANY non-zero input passes the conditional, and returns false if there are no inputs at all (so "anything = 0" always fails). If used for output, Anything will return one of the signals that matched.
When "Input Count" is selected the output will match the input for the selected signal if the first parameter is not Each. If the first parameter is Each then "Input Count" refers to the value of the input signal that is currently being iterated, so the result will be the sum of all inputs if the output signal is not Each. If the output signal is also Each then every input signal that passes the test is simply forwarded while those that fail the test are discarded.
The following table shows how different combinations of the first input parameter and the output can be used.
| Input → | Each | Anything,Everything, or a specific signal |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| ↓ Output | | |
| Everything: 1 | - | every input signal is forwarded but set to 1 |
| Everything: Input count | every input signal is forwarded | |
| Specific signal: 1 | number of input signals† | the specific signal with value 1 |
| Specific signal: Input count | sum of inputs† | the specific signal is forwarded |
| Each: 1 | each input signal†is forwarded but set to 1 | - |
| Each: Input count | each input signal†is forwarded | |
| Anything: 1 | - | one input signal†is forwarded but set to 1 |
| Anything: Input count | one input signal†is forwarded | |
† signals that passed the test only
With both the arithmetic and decider combinator, there is one tick (60th of a second) of latency before the output signal is ready to be used as an input into a circuit network.

Solar panels
are an unlimited source of free
energy
that produce no
pollution
. On a planet, the power output varies based on the
time of day
. During the day (half of a day/night cycle), all panels provide a constant, maximum power level. Generated power will increase/decrease linearly during dawn and dusk, and no power is produced at night.
The baseline power generated by a panel is 60 kW; this represents 100% power production.
On
Nauvis
, one solar panel produces an average of 42 kW over a day/night cycle.
In
Space Age
, different planets provide a bonus or penalty to panel output. These modifiers are based on 60 kW as the baseline 100% power of a panel. Planets also have their own day/night cycle lengths, so the average power produced by panels over a day/night cycle can change.
Space platforms
do not have day/night cycles; panels produce a constant amount of power while at a location in space. If a platform is moving between locations, the power output will raise or lower based on how far it is between the source location and destination. If the source location offers 200% solar power, and the destination has 300%, then a platform halfway between will have its solar panels offer 250% power.
Quality
panels also provide higher than 100% power output.

Energy management
As already stated, solar panels produce energy only during the day, but you likely want your factory to run at night as well.
Accumulators
can be charged up with solar panels during the day to power the base at night.
Accumulators are not the only way to work with solar energy. Sometimes it is more economical to just avoid consuming energy at night. For example, if you power a bunch of
electric mining drills
and
electric furnaces
to produce
iron
and
copper plates
, you could build more drills and furnaces than you actually need, and store the excess metal production during the day. At night you can shut down the drills and furnaces, and let your factory run with the stored plates. Instead of storing energy, you would be storing what the energy is used for. The easiest way to achieve this is by connecting all your extractors and furnaces to an electric network with exactly enough solar panels to make them work during the day, and keeping this network away from your factory's main electric network.
Notes
A single (normal quality) solar panel outputs an average of 42 kW over a day on
Nauvis
and requires 0.84672 accumulators to sustain a constant power output through the night.
It takes approximately 23.8 solar panels to operate 1 MW of factory
and
charge 20.2 accumulators to sustain that 1 MW through the night.
The optimal ratio for normal quality solar panels to charge enough normal quality accumulators on Nauvis is 2646 accumulators for 3125 solar panels (supplying 42 kW per solar panel).

Space Age
Space Age
expansion exclusive feature.
In Space Age, the closer a planet is to the sun, the more power a solar panel on its surface produces. Additionally, as there is no nighttime in space, solar panels on space platforms will generate energy constantly, and at a higher rate than on a planet's surface.

The
Express underground belt
is the third tier of
underground belts
. It has a maximum underground length of 8 tiles ‒ 2 more than a
fast underground belt
and 4 more than a basic underground belt. The speed of the express underground belt is the same speed as the
express transport belt
, which is three times as fast as a basic
transport belt
or underground belt.

Welcome on my talk page!
Template:Tl
Hello,
I am just letting you know that I deleted your Template:Tl because you did not follow the rules concerning
Templates and redirects
, as you failed to contact an admin before putting the template to use in the main namespace. All the reasons we discourage use of template apply to "Template:Tl": It is solving a very small problem that seems to only appear on one page by applying the large solution of creating an entire new template. Furthermore, the template name is very opaque and does not reflect the template's function, making the page source harder to read.
It is great that you are making an effort to help improve some of the more "background" features of the wiki by using template and documenting templates, but I encourage to read the rules and style guide before editing so that you can achieve the highest quality of contributions. I hope you will have more success with your contributions in the future! --

Space Age
expansion exclusive feature.
Electrolyte
is a
fluid
that contains electrical properties created from an
electromagnetic plant
unlocked at
Fulgora
. As such, it is used to make electrical items, such as the
tesla gun
and
lightning collector
.
Quality
doesn't apply to fluids, so creating electrolyte using quality materials provides no benefits.
Electrolyte cannot be put into
barrels
, which means it cannot be sent by rocket. The only way to use it on other planets is to ship holmium ore and make it on site.
History

Balancing
The productivity module pollution addition was lowered (30%->5%, 40%->7.5%, 50%->10%), as the pollution generated by the machine is already increased
by the additional energy production and time, it doesn't need to be so high as the modules are quite expensive already.
Repair packs have double durability (100->200) and stack size (50->100).
Changed stack size of raw wood (50->100) so it doesn't fill the inventory so quickly.
Roboport have decreased transmission power consumption (200kw->50kw) while the robots (and their recharging) has increased power consumption (200kW per recharge slot to 1Mw per slot)
Basically, covering area by roboports is cheaper, but using robots for transport is more expensive. To keep the personal roboport usefulness, energies used in personal roboport have been
all multiplied by 10.

Factorio
is a game in which you build and maintain factories. You will be mining resources, researching technologies, building infrastructure, automating production and fighting enemies.
In the beginning you will find yourself chopping trees, mining ore and crafting mechanical arms and transport belts by hand, but in a short time you can become an industrial powerhouse, with huge solar fields, oil refining and cracking, manufacture and deployment of construction and logistic robots, all for your resource needs. However this heavy exploitation of the planet's resources does not sit nicely with the locals, so you will have to be prepared to defend yourself and your machine empire.
Join forces with other players in cooperative
Multiplayer
, create huge factories, collaborate and delegate tasks between you and your friends.
Add mods to increase your enjoyment, from small tweaks and helper mods to complete game overhauls, Factorio's ground-up Modding support has allowed content creators from around the world to design interesting and innovative features. While the core gameplay is in the form of the freeplay scenario, there are a range of interesting challenges in the form of the Scenario pack, available as free DLC. If you don't find any maps or scenarios you enjoy, you can create your own with the in-game Map Editor, place down entities, enemies, and terrain in any way you like, and even add your own custom script to make for interesting gameplay.

(or "underground pipe") is a distribution method for
liquids and gases
. Since a basic
pipe
is impassable, these are necessary to keep the factory open, as well as to cross belt lines, or environmental features.
Fluid distribution is complex, comprehensive information can be found on the
fluid system
page.

Notes
While pipe to ground is the developer name for the entity, the community has taken to simply referring to this entity as "underground pipe". This is the most common reference.
The maximum distance at which an underground pipe can connect is 10 tiles, resulting in a gap of 9 tiles in between.
The gap between underground pipes does not store any fluids; a pair of underground pipes only has the same volume as two regular pipes, regardless of distance bridged.
Underground pipes as well as
underground belts
cannot transport items between
lava
and space void.

The
steam turbine
consumes
steam
to create electric energy. It is usually used together with
heat exchangers
and a
nuclear reactor
or
heating tower
.
While designed for the 500°C steam of a nuclear reactor, turbines can still be connected to
boilers
for use in conventional 165°C steam power. At this mode, the steam turbine acts equal to two separate
steam engines
, producing 1800 kW and consuming 60 steam/sec. However, actual power production is based on the temperature of the steam, not the building itself. This means that using a steam turbine is no more fuel-efficient than using two steam engines. Unless saving space within a large build, it is not necessary to use the more costly turbines for boiler steam.
Power output
Each steam turbine takes a maximum input of 60 units of 500°C
steam
per second and outputs 5.82MW of electricity; the 5.8MW listed on the tooltip is rounded.
Heat exchanger
heats 15°C
water
to 500°C
steam
;
It takes 0.2 kJ of
burner
energy to raise 1 water 1°C;
Steam is consumed by steam turbines at a rate of 60 units per second;
(500°C - 15°C) × 0.2 kJ × 60 units/s = 5820 kJ/s, or 5.82 MW.
On the other hand, the calculation for the Boiler-generated steam is: (165°C - 15°C) × 0.2 kJ × 60 units/s = 1800 kJ/s, or 1.8 MW.

Hey there!
Strange question... do you think it'd look nicer if the arrow for showing the internal name and prototype would look better if it was placed underneath the edit link (as in, aligned to the right, and approximately on the same line as the category)? In my opinion, I think it maybe might look better because right now it takes up so much extra space? I know nothing about UX! >.>
I made the change on
Template:Infobox/sandbox
, however the arrow is much harder to "find". Because of that the current decision is to not modify the position in the infobox. --

Vehicle top speed
Should probably have an extra Infobox line for vehicle top speed. As it stands right now, none of the pages on higher tier fuels (solid, rocket and nuclear) say anything about the fuel's top speed increase, which arguably is one of the most important reasons to actually switch to a higher tier fuel. --

--
Soundfoam

On a related note, energy penalties and bonuses of modules are not displayed at all because they lack the energy type condition (see e.g.
Infobox:Productivity module
). A workaround I found is to append "electric" at the end (e.g.
Infobox:Speed module
), but this is not correct because the biochamber doesn't consume electric energy but is affected by modules.

Problem with technologies if they have a different name than the item
If the name of the technology and the item are different (at least in Polish), the technology infobox displays the item name. Example here:

I've changed the infobox and then TechNav to include " (research)" at the end of the technology name, like the page name, as discussed on

Compare

for an in-infobox-context example. (until its reverted i suppose)
I'd argue the latter makes most sense, and that is the way it looks for almost all units (time,distance,degrees) except in some cases I've seen watts and joules extracted to be on the outside of the quality template. Should we fix those? --
Zaz
(

I'd prefer the latter too, because in some cases the quality boost from power pushes the building's production/consumption to MWs instead of kWs. It also just feels much more readable.
Brin
(
talk

The code does become somewhat less readable. MW goes through the translation template so there is significant bloat. Also sometimes the layout decides to put the MW part on a new line, increasing the height of the table. Some pages have solved this by adding which solves the layout problem but makes the bloat worse. --
Zaz

look at
Thruster
as an example. If we inline the units, the sidebar becomes too wide and the layout breaks.

Noinclude
The example puts the <noinclude> tag on the line after the }} that ends the transclusion of {{
Infobox
}}. If the template is then transcluded with a line break after it, which is the usual style, the result is two subsequent line breaks, which is parsed by MediaWiki as a paragraph break, resulting in an empty paragraph after the infobox that appears in the article as a spurious blank line. To avoid this, the <noinclude> tag should always go immediately after then }} without a space or line break.

Defaulting to the Space Age tab
Recycling (research)
is unlocked by the Quality mod, then altered by the Space Age mod: without Space Age, the tech costs 5000 red, green, blue and purple science. Adding this information to the infobox means the default information is that for the base game, but most people (presumably) play with both. Would it be possible to add a parameter like "default-to-space-age=yes" to have the Space Age tab opened by default?
Thrawcheld

Ideally I would like the state of the tab to persist, so if you open space age on one page, it would also be selected on all other pages until you select base game again. Do you think that would solve this as well, or do you think the differing default would still be needed? --

Modules
are items used to enhance existing buildings' capabilities. They are expensive, require appropriate
research
, and are produced slowly, but can eventually greatly improve the efficiency of a factory.
Quick usage summary:
For more products per second a speed module should be used.
For more products per input resource a productivity module should be used.
For more products per watt of energy an efficiency module should be used (except in rare cases when productivity modules are also used - then a speed module might be better).
For higher
quality
products, quality modules should be used, and they should not be paired with speed modules, whether directly in the machine or in
beacons
.
Note that changing a machine's energy consumption directly affects how much pollution the machine generates. This is the case because the pollution production rate is directly linked to the machine's energy consumption, so this applies even when power is produced in a pollution-free way.

Types of modules
There are three types of modules in

, each with 3 tiers of effect. Higher tiers have stronger effects but are more expensive. Note that the machine's properties (speed, energy consumption and pollution) cannot be reduced below 20% of the original value.
Speed module

Advantages & Disadvantages:
Increases speed of machine.
If used with productivity modules, it can increase the efficiency of the machine in terms of items produced per joule (or items produced per pollution generated).
Increases energy use per cycle (exceptions exist).
Increased energy usage means increased pollution generation (pollution depends on power usage).
Reduced chance of producing quality items.
Productivity module
Main article:
Productivity module
Productivity modules provide a
productivity
improvement to a machine when placed inside item-producing buildings and
labs
. Each time the machine finishes crafting the recipe it is set to, an amount is added to the bar equal to the percentages of the productivity modules inside the machine. When the bar reaches 100%, an extra set of products is immediately generated without consuming any resources.
Productivity modules cannot be used for every recipe. They can generally only be used in recipes that make an
intermediate products
. If you have productivity modules in a machine and you change the recipe to one which cannot accept them (manually or via the
circuit network
, the machine will eject the modules.
Intermediate recipes which cannot accept productivity modules include (but are not limited to):
barrel
filling and emptying.
Producing
barrels
from steel.
Steam condensation
(likely to prevent loops that can generate more water than put into them).
The non-intermediate product recipes can accept productivity modules are:
Stone brick
Concrete from molten iron
(but not the standard
concrete
recipe).
Artificial
jellynut
and
yumako
soils
Overgrowth
jellynut
and
yumako
soils
Productivity modules cannot be placed in
beacons
.

Efficiency module
Main article:
Efficiency module
Efficiency modules reduce the required electricity to run the machine. The lowest amount of energy that efficiency modules can be used to achieve is 20% of the machine's base energy usage.

Decreased energy usage means decreased pollution generation (pollution depends on power usage).
Cannot lower energy usage below 20%.
If used with productivity modules, sometimes the efficiency gain is lower than what a speed module could achieve.
Quality module
Main article:
Quality module
Space Age
expansion exclusive feature.
Quality modules increase the chance of items being produced in higher qualities, which in turn grant bonuses which makes items and buildings work more efficiently. Higher quality items have a lesser chance of being created. Note that quality modules themselves can be made with higher qualities, which further increases the chance of higher quality products being made.

| | +4.7% | | +6.2% | | | | | | | | | | | |
Advantages & Disadvantages:
Can provide higher quality items.
Quality modules themselves can have higher quality.
Modules with higher qualities have larger bonuses, further increasing the chance of better items being made.
Slightly decreases speed of buildings.
Not all higher quality items have bonuses.
Usage tips
As a rule, the effects of multiple modules are
additive, not multiplicative
, meaning they don't have diminishing returns (except that consumption is capped to -80%), so if an assembler is making 2 items per second, adding one speed module 3 (+50% speed) will increase item production by 1/s, and a second speed module 3 will increase production by another 1/s. Consumption modifiers work the same way, for example if a machine is consuming 180kW, the first efficiency module 1 will reduce energy use by 54kW, the second will also reduce energy use by 54kW. There is no difference between putting two speed module 1's in one machine and two efficiency module 1's in a second machine, compared to putting one of each in both machines - in both cases the total items produced per second and average energy required per item is identical.
There is however synergy between productivity modules and speed modules, productivity modules reduce crafting speed which lowers the production rate of items and increases the energy consumed per item, the speed bonus from speed modules increases production rate of items and lowers the energy consumed per item - in fact when dealing with productivity modules, the reduction in energy consumption from the increased speed from speed modules can be greater than the increased energy consumption. For detailed calculations on the synergy between productivity modules and speed modules refer to
this discussion
as well as
this warning
.
Filling the device with
speed modules
is useful when a resource is infinite but the amount of resource pools is low. The best example would be
oil deposits
. Another good place to use speed modules would be for assembly machines which make products that take a long time to make, for example engine units. Using speed modules allows more compact setups, because one machine can provide materials to more consumers than normal. If used together with productivity modules, they can also increase efficiency (in terms of items produced per watt or per pollution generated) of a machine.
Filling devices with
productivity modules
is recommended when resources are scarce. An example would be more advanced products not being produced enough due to bottlenecks. It will take longer and more energy, but the overall amount of products per time will be higher. Productivity is especially useful in recipes that consume a lot of resources per second such as
electronic circuits
, as this will result in a lot of free items being created and quickly cover the cost of the module. Also by saving the need to mine ore, smelt plates and process intermediates for those free items the additional energy cost can be easily covered.
Filling devices with
efficiency modules
is recommended for electric furnaces as these use a lot of power. Note that making higher level efficiency modules are not worth it in terms of power saved vs materials used to build a
solar panel
setup with same power output so the only incentive is to further reduce pollution or space utilization. Modules are also able to control
pollution
, as
pollution depends also on
energy
usage
. So reducing a machine's energy usage by 40% with a efficiency module 2 will also reduce its pollution by 40%. Beware as this also works vice versa! Also note that if you're using productivity modules, a speed module can sometimes provide better efficiency gains due to the fact that the machine will now be producing much more items per second. Efficiency modules also generally don't work well in beacons.
Quality
and module scaling
Getting modules of higher
quality
improves the benefits of the modules but not their drawbacks. Modules of sufficiently high quality can eclipse at least some of their drawbacks.
Speed modules
make machines faster, which effectively makes them act like more machines of the same type. But they also cause them to increase power consumption, and this increase is higher than the speed increase. So speed modules can make machines act as if there were more machines, but they consume more power than the equivalent number of un-moduled machines.
Quality changes things.
Because a higher quality speed module provides a higher speed bonus, but not higher power consumption, it is possible to reach a break-even point where the speed bonus is equal to or greater than the power penalty.
Speed module
1s do not achieve this break-even point until legendary quality, when their 50% speed bonus exactly matches the 50% power penalty.
Speed module 2s
also require legendary quality to surpass their power penalty, though since the speed bonus of 75% exceeds the power consumption of 60%, it effectively provides a small efficiency effect.
Speed module 3s
reach this break even point at rare quality, with an 80% speed vs. 70% power.
Productivity modules
have a similar break even point with regard to their speed penalty (though not their power penalty). Adding productivity to a process gives a de-facto speed increase in terms of the number of output products produced. The speed penalty of productivity modules offsets this de-facto speed increase. However, computing that break-even point is more complex.
5% productivity means that 5% more outputs are generated over a given space of time. So if a machine would have output 100 products in a given time, it outputs 105. A 5% speed penalty means the machine operates 5% slower. If a machine would have output 105 products in a given time, it only outputs 95% of that, which is not 100; it is 99.75.
Productivity module
1s have a 6% speed penalty. The minimum productivity bonus needed to overcome this speed penalty is 6.3%, which requires an epic prod 1 (though rare comes close). To offset the 10% speed penalty from a
productivity module 2
, you need a productivity of at least 11.1%, which requires an legendary prod 2 (though epic comes very close). To offset the 15% speed penalty from a
productivity module 3
, you need productivity of at least 17.6%, which requires an epic prod 3 (though rare comes very close).
Quality modules
have unusual scaling for their quality bonuses due to how strong
quality module 2s
are. A rare quality module 2 has the same bonus as an uncommon
quality module 3
. And a legendary quality module 2 beats any non-legendary quality module 3. With the
Space Age
mod, quality module 3s require
superconductors
, which makes acquiring quality versions of quality module 3s much more expensive than quality module 2s.
Efficiency modules
have a similar scaling effect, though much more pronounced. An uncommon
efficiency module
1 is almost as good as a common
efficiency module 2
, and a rare eff1 nearly matches a common
efficiency module 3
. Quality versions of efficiency module 2s are usually nearly as good as eff3s of one step lower quality. Though getting quality versions of
spoilage
is much cheaper than superconductors (
bioflux
can mass-produce
nutrients
, which can be
recycled
using quality modules to produce quality spoilage, with any lower quality spoilage being fed back into the recycler), so making quality efficiency module 3s is much easier than most other module 3s.
Examples of usage
Electric furnaces
are huge power hogs at 180 kW per furnace. 1 basic efficiency module reduces it by 54 kW (−30%) – almost a
solar panel
worth of power.
Electric mining drills
normally create 10 units of
pollution
, using 3 basic efficiency modules on them reduces their pollution production by 80% to 2 units per minute.
Using productivity module 3s in the
rocket silo
reduces the total resource cost for 1 rocket launch by almost 30%, saving 26k copper ore per rocket launch.

Copper cables
are an intermediate product made from
copper plates
, or can be cast from a
foundry
. They are very important for manufacturing circuits and electrical connections.
Copper cable can also be used to connect or disconnect power poles. Select copper cable from your inventory, or click its icon on the
Shortcut bar
, and left click two
electric poles
. This way, you can manually wire some of the more complex systems, like
making steam engines work only when accumulators are empty.
Note that the cable is not consumed during this operation, and you do not actually need to have the item in inventory.
Disconnecting the cable between two
medium electric poles

Stone bricks
are produced from
stone
in any furnace, and are used in multiple recipes as well as placing them to create stone paths.
Recipes in which they are used include the two advanced types of furnace (meaning they are used in research), as well as more advanced stone products, notably
concrete
. It is more material efficient to use concrete for paths, as double the amount of tiles are produced from the same amount of stone.
Stone path increases walking speed by 30% and reduces vehicle rolling resistance, allowing for improved acceleration and top speed. However, any type of path practically prevents pollution absorption by terrain, so extensive use of paths may cause the factory's pollution to spread farther. Stone paths have no effect on the movement speed of
enemies
.
Stone brick crafting can use
productivity modules
.
Usage
Holding them allows the player to mine any type of
path
, and placing them over another type of path automatically mines the previous path.
Stone paths are placed using
Left mouse button
and can be removed by using
Right mouse button
while holding any kind of path.
The area in which stone bricks are placed can be increased and decreased by using
Numpad +
and
Numpad -
.
History

The
lightning rod
is a building from
Fulgora
that protects an area from getting struck by lightning from the nightly storms. When struck, they generate
power for a limited time
. The peak power production is limited only by the demands of the connected
electric system
, but the internal storage is subject to a 150 MW drain in addition to the load from the electric system. It is unlocked by researching the
Planet discovery Fulgora
technology.
The lightning rod cannot be crafted on any planet other than Fulgora, as other planets lack the same strong magnetic field.

The
Oil Refinery
processes
crude oil
or
coal
into 3 different fluids:
heavy oil
,
light oil
and
petroleum gas
.
Oil products have many uses. Although they can be turned into
solid fuel
to fuel
boilers
and furnaces, they are usually used to create
plastic bars
, which are used in
advanced circuits
, and
sulfur
, which is used in more advanced items. They are also used as ammunition for
flamethrower turrets
.

Recipes
The refinery has three/four
available recipes, out of which one must be set before it can begin processing.
| Process | Input | Output | Required technology |
| ------------------------ | --------- | ------ | ---------------------------------- |
| Basic oil processing | 5100 | 45 | Oil processing (research) |
| Advanced oil processing | 510050 | 254555 | Advanced oil processing (research) |
| Coal liquefaction | 5102550 | 902010 | Coal liquefaction (research) |
| Simple coal liquefaction | 5+10+2+25 | 50 | Calcite processing (research) |
Troubleshooting
When the refinery is working, a flame comes out of the chimney.
You need to choose the recipe, otherwise it won't work.
It will stop working if any of the products are not properly drained from it (that is, 100.0 heavy oil at output will prevent production of the 2 other fluids).
History
2.0.7
:
Fluid inputs and outputs can now be flipped.
Simple coal liquefaction added.
0.17.60
:
Basic oil processing produces only Petroleum gas, for more streamlined oil setup in the beginning.
Basic oil processing keeps some of the refinery input/output slots unused, so it is more clear which ones will be used by Advanced oil processing.
0.15.0
:
Module slots increased from 2 to 3.
0.11.6
:
Now disconnects from pipes when recipe is reset.
0.9.1
:
Now accepts modules
Added cracking recipes
0.9.0
:

Redirects
Hey there Phasma, I'm an admin on this wiki. I'd like to ask you to please reduce the amount of redirects you're creating. It's not necessary to create a redirect for every subword and synonym in the english language for every page. (Most of your contributions so far have been redirect creation) The search function of the wiki will allow users to find the page they are looking for, if their search is anywhere close to what they're looking for. (It searches title as well as page text) Creating lots of redirects causes problems with possible future page name collisions, and increases the "spaghetti network" factor of the wiki, causing problems with broken/double redirects when renaming pages has to be done, or any other sort of structural change. Basically, lay off the redirect creation (especially if the redirects are purely for semantics and no actual links exist to them) and contribute in some other ways please. --(

Acid neutralisation
converts
sulfuric acid
and
calcite
into
steam
. This recipe can only be used on
Vulcanus
, and it is the native means of producing
water
(via
steam condensation
). The steam is created at a temperature of 500 °C, perfect for
steam turbines
, making it a very space-efficient source of power.
Because acid neutralization produces so much steam in one production cycle, a combination of modules, quality, and beacons makes it possible to reach the limits of the
fluid system
. Specifically, each separate input into a fluid segment (one set of connected pipes and tanks) is limited to move 6000 fluid per second. If only one of the steam connections of the production building is used, then gaining an effective crafting speed of 3 or greater will cause the building to be unable to produce steam at its maximum theoretical potential. Using two fluid outputs allows the machine to reach crafting speed 6 before encountering a this limitation.

Gleba
is a moist, agricultural
planet
with fungal hills and swampy lowlands.
It is home to the
pentapods
, which are spider-like
enemies
who are attracted to the scent of biological processing called Spores, similar to the way that
Nauvis
creatures negatively respond to
pollution
. One of the most prominent traits of Gleba is that nearly everything takes a biological form.
Planet discovery Gleba (research)
is required to travel to the planet.

Biomes
Gleba's terrain consists of elevated regions of dry, buildable terrain and marshy lower areas marbled with
Shallow water
that cannot directly be built upon without
landfill
. The dark highlands biome are where
stone
may be found. The orange or turquoise midland biomes are also elevated and lack shallow water.
Cliffs
usually represent the transition from lower lying areas to higher ones.
Pentapod
enemies can only build nests on shallow water tiles (regardless of biome), so midlands and highlands act as natural barriers to their expansion. Artificial barriers can be created by using landfill on available shallow water.
The blue biomes are marshes that are typically found next to deep water lakes. Outside of their particular flora, these lands contain nothing special.
The red and green biomes are marshlands where
Jellystem
and
Yumako trees
can be found, respectively. They also contain
copper and iron stromatolites
in abundance, making them good sources of ore and ore bacteria.
For the purposes of where crops can be planted, each of these two biomes has 3 kinds of tiles.
Fertile soil tiles are those surrounding natural
Jellystems
and
Yumako trees
. These tiles can be planted with seeds and grow trees without any additional intervention. However, there are usually not very many such tiles in a biome.
Around fertile soil tiles are a larger number of wetland tiles. These are shallow water tiles that are not initially plantable, but artificial
jellynut
and
yumako
soil tiles will make them fertile.
The vast majority of the biome consists of darker red or green tiles (some are shallow water marshes, while others are buildable terrain) of types other than the above. All of these tiles can have overgrowth
jellynut
and
yumako
soils placed on them, making virtually the entire biome farmable (though at substantial cost).
On the map view, the lightest colored tiles in these biomes are fertile soils, the slightly darker tiles around them are wetlands, and the rest are tiles that can have overgrowth soils placed on them.
Note that the overgrowth soils can be placed on the same wetland tiles that artificial soils can be placed on. Overgrowth soils have no special effects on those tiles, and they are far more expensive than artificial soils. As such, care should be taken to avoid using the more expensive soils where the less expensive ones will do fine.
Mechanics
Main article:
Spoilage mechanics
Most biological products on Gleba are "spoilable". A spoilable item has an inherent timer attached to it, which begins at the item's creation. When the timer reaches 0, the item is transformed into
spoilage
,
with a few exceptions. This process is inevitable and cannot be stopped.
The exact time differs per item, ranging anywhere from a few minutes to 2 hours. This means that item throughput is more important than ever on Gleba, and buffering a large stockpile is ineffective, as items can spoil within containers.
The
Biochamber
, Gleba's special production building, uses a fuel source,
nutrients
. Nutrients also can spoil, and have a short, 5 minute spoil time.
Access to basic resources
Water
is readily available using offshore pumps
Stone
can be mined from patches on the surface as normal
Iron ore
can be obtained from
iron bacteria
, which can be cultivated in a
biochamber
using
iron bacteria cultivation
Copper ore
can be obtained from
copper bacteria
, which can be cultivated in a biochamber using
copper bacteria cultivation
Coal
can be obtained via
coal synthesis
Crude oil
is not available. However:
Plastic bars
can be obtained from
bioplastic
Sulfur
can be obtained from
biosulfur
Lubricant
can be obtained from
biolubricant
Rocket fuel
can be obtained from
rocket fuel from jelly
Heavy oil
can be obtained using
coal liquefaction
, if the initial heavy oil is shipped in from another planet. This is only really useful for
flamethrower turrets
, since all other oil products can be obtained more efficiently using the bio recipes.
Simple coal liquefaction
is also an option if the
calcite
is shipped in from
space platforms
using
advanced oxide asteroid crushing
or from
Vulcanus
.
Power production
The heating tower is a burner device can be used to generate electricity via the use of
heat exchangers
and steam turbines. Gleba renewably generates all its resources, which includes rocket fuel. Traditional boilers can also be used.
Space routes
Gleba
is connected to 4 other planets:
Nauvis
,

Trivia
In biology, a gleba is a fleshy, spore-filled inner mass of some fungus like the puffball.
During development, Gleba was once named
Bacchus
, after the Roman god of fertility, orchards, and vegetation.

Empty_heavy_oil_barrel | Barrel - Factorio Wiki | [] | Barrel - Factorio Wiki
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
Barrels
can be used to store and transport 50 units of various fluids. Since they are solid objects, they can be used as an alternative to pipes, once
fluid handling
is researched. The barrels themselves are reusable once the fluids are drained.
Barrels stack in groups of 10. A single
cargo wagon
can hold 400 barrels, which gives a capacity of 20,000 units per cargo wagon – 30,000 fewer units than the capacity of a
fluid wagon
.
Empty barrels have a rocket capacity
of 200. Full barrels, regardless of fluid, have a rocket capacity
of 100. As such, a single rocket can carry 5000 units of any fluid which can be barrelled.

Example of use
Barrels are useful in situations where pipes are not available or a bad option, such as oil production far away from your main factory, or when transporting fluids to another planet in
Space Age
. Barrels can be transported with a
belt transport system
or
railway
, by
logistic robots
, via
car
or
tank
, or in the
player
's inventory. A simple example with
transport belts

Getting started
If you're still lost after playing through the tutorial levels, this guide is here to help.
Starting your game
To begin from the Main Menu, you need to select "Play", then "New Game". This will lead you to a menu allowing the
customization of your world
. If this is your first time, you won't need to tinker with these. If you haven't yet played the tutorial and campaign levels yet, you should play these first however. From the main menu, select "Play", then "Start Campaign", then "First Steps". The "First Steps" campaign is a basic tutorial, the "New Hope" further teaches the basics of the game.
World generator
You can change these options to make the map generate in different ways. Changes to world generation can greatly affect the difficulty of the game.
The first tab in the world generation screen allows the player to choose a preset for the world generation. A preset is just a quick way to change the settings in the other two tabs. For new players, the Default preset or the Rich Resources preset are suggested.
If peaceful mode is enabled, enemies will not attack the player unless the player attacks first.
The Resource Settings tab allows changing how frequently and strongly resources and enemies spawn.
Resources
and enemy bases are controlled by 3 values: frequency, size, and richness.
Frequency determines how often you'll see ore veins or enemy bases within the game world
Size determines how large these veins or bases are
Richness determines how many resources ore tiles will produce before running dry, and the density of enemy bases
If you would like an easier time to begin with, consider increasing the frequency, size, and richness of the resources while decreasing the same for enemy bases. Note that it may be recommended to increase the size and frequency of crude oil for beginner-level players, as oil can be very difficult to find depending on the world generation seed compared to that of other resources, combined with the fact that oil is a necessity for making progress as well the fact that pumping oil will gradually decrease it's yield, requiring the need travel further to find even more oil. Also note that the game can be completed with enemies disabled completely (set size to none), however dealing with enemies is usually a major part of the game.
More information about world generation can be found in the
World generator article
.
Basic controls and UI
Please refer to
Keyboard bindings
to learn more about key bindings and how to configure them.
Movement
Move your
character
with the movement keys ("W", "A", "S", "D" by default).
Map
Press the map key (default "M") to open and close the map. Hover your mouse over resources on the map to see what they are.
Gathering resources
Some resources can be gathered manually by holding the right mouse button over them. You can use this to gather
wood
,
stone
,
coal
,
copper ore
,
iron ore
, and
fish
only.
Inventory and crafting
Press the inventory key (default "E") to open and close your inventory. The inventory UI is split into the player's inventory, on the left, and the
crafting recipes
, on the right. The four big buttons at the top of the crafting recipes are the crafting categories. If you have the ingredients required by a recipe, you can click it multiple times to craft as many as you want. View the crafting progress in the lower-left hand corner of the screen.
Placing and removing structures
Some items are structures that you can place on the ground. When your inventory is open, you can select a place-able structure from your inventory by clicking it. You should see that your cursor has been replaced by the structure's icon. You can now press the same inventory key again (default "E") to close your inventory. Your mouse icon will still have the structure. Move your mouse around to see where you can place the structure. If the item appears red, you cannot place it there. If it is green, it can be placed. You can change the rotational direction of the structure by either pressing the rotate key (default "R") before you place it, or after placing it by hovering over it with the mouse and pressing the rotate key (default "R"). Left click to place the structure.
After you place a structure, you can pick it up and put it back in your inventory by holding the right mouse button over it.
Interacting with structures
If a structure is interact-able, left click it to open its UI. Most commonly you will use this to pick which recipe a machine should use, or to put inventory items into a container.
When you open a container, you will be able to see your inventory also. Click an item in your inventory, then click an empty slot in the container, to transfer. You can also transfer by simply holding the "stack transfer" button ("SHIFT" default) and clicking it. If you want to pick up only half of a
stack
of items, right click the stack in your inventory. You can also CTRL-Right Click to directly transfer half of the stack. If you want to transfer ALL items of one type, hold down the "inventory transfer" key ("CTRL" default) and click the item. If you want to transfer ALL items of ANY type, hold down the "inventory transfer" key ("CTRL" default) and click an empty slot.
Press the "alt-mode" key (default "ALT") to toggle "detailed view", which shows extra information about structures.
Quickbar and Shortcut bar
At the bottom-center of your screen, you will see the
Quickbar
on the left, and the
Shortcut bar
on the right. Left click the Quickbar to place an item in it. Middle click (or Command-Right-Click) the item in the Quickbar to remove it.
Combat
This game contains enemies, though they probably won't attack you until you are more prepared. If you need to defend yourself, press space to shoot the enemy closest to your mouse cursor. Keep an eye on your ammunition, which can be seen in the lower-right corner of the screen.
The very first moments
Resources
Make sure that you have the four solid resources close to your spawn location;
Coal
,
Copper ore
,
Iron ore
, and
Stone
. These should be found within a reasonable proximity to each other; the farther apart they are the harder it will be to route them for combined use.
It's also advisable to have a source of
Water
in your starting area, as it is required for
Steam Engines
.
If your spawn area doesn't have one of these resources, or they are too scarce or too far apart, simply hit the Escape key and choose "Restart." This will re-generate the game world and you will spawn in a new starting location. This may need to be done several times until a passable world is created.
Later we will also need
Crude oil
. However, it's okay if your starting area doesn't have oil, as you won't need it until later in the game. The same goes for for
Uranium ore
.
Almost everything in Factorio is made from these seven basic resources, and you will need all of them except for uranium if you intend to finish the game.
Placing mines and furnaces
Gathering and crafting manually is a pain, and the purpose of Factorio is to create machines that will do your work for you.
You begin your journey with a
Stone furnace
and a
Burner mining drill
. This means you only have to harvest a limited number of resources by hand.
First of all, you should place your drill on the edge of an iron deposit, facing towards the furnace. The iron deposit looks like blue-ish gray rocks on the ground.
The little yellow arrow shows where the mined iron ore will come out. You want the Furnace to be in front of that arrow, so that the drill automatically inserts the ore into the furnace. It should look something like this:
Remember you can press "ALT" to activate the detailed view.
This makes it easier to see what's happening.
Feeding with fuel
Now that you've placed the drill and furnace, they need
Fuel
.
You can power them with either
Wood
or
Coal
. To collect them, you'll need to cut trees or mine coal; this can be accomplished by holding right click over trees or coal deposits, respectively.
Once you have some fuel in your inventory, left click on the furnace or drill to open the interface.
To place your fuel into the machine, simply left click it to pick it up and left click again to put it into the fuel slot.
If you want to split a
stack
in half, right click the stack.
Now both of your machines should be running and automatically making you some iron plates!
You can also CTRL-Right Click to directly insert half of the stack
You can use an identical setup for copper ore to get copper plates.
Production upgrade!
What's better than iron plates?
More
iron plates!
You'll need to craft some extra drills. If you hover over drill in the crafting menu, you'll see two lists of materials. The first list shows the components needed to make the drill; the second one at the very bottom of the tooltip window shows the raw resources needed to craft it.
Unlike other games, you do not need to create the pre-requisite items before you select the item you want to make. All required items are crafted for you.
You can see this process happening on the bottom left of the screen, where your Crafting Queue is.
You can also queue up more crafting orders, as long as you have the necessary materials on you, and they'll get carried out one after the other.
Now that you can afford some extra drill and furnaces, you should automate the acquisition of both coal and stone.
These are easy to set up and work essentially the same as the iron setup.
For Coal, you can have two drills facing each other: they'll run on the coal they get fed by their partner and you can collect the surplus.
Don't forget that you can collect resources from machines without opening their inventories, with CTRL-LMB.
You might also want to activate the detailed view, by pressing the ALT key once. You can deactivate it by pressing ALT again.
And for stone you can have the drill output directly into a chest.
Once this is all setup up, you will probably want to make it go faster. Set up more drills with furnaces for the iron, setup some for copper and maybe lay more drills on the coal to cover for the extra coal production.
In the early game, the most used resource is iron, so you'll probably need twice as many miners on iron than copper, if not more. But expect copper to become more and more important the more you mess with electricity and electronics!
More automation
Great! So now you have four or so furnaces making iron, a couple making copper, some stone production and a good amount of coal production.
But you know what really sucks? Having to run the coal around to all your other machines, right? Well let's automate that too!
Conveyor belts and inserters are the way of the future! The output slots on the drill can also output onto conveyor belts to be transported to your other machines.
Now that we can take our coal to other places with no effort, we just need a way to input the coal into those machines.
This is where
Inserters
step in. In the first few stages of the game, you can use
Burner Inserters
as a cheap way to move items from anything to anything. You can move objects from the ground, chests, machines and put them wherever you want.
Burner Inserters require coal to run but can fuel themselves with coal from belts, eliminating the need to manually fuel them.
Here is a small example of inserters working. Notice that the flat line is where the inserters will pick up from, and the arrow is where they will place the item. To see this in your game you need to go into the game's menu, then press Options, Graphics and turn on the option "Show inserter arrows when detailed info is on."
Okay, so now we know how to automatically mine things and then how to automatically move things from one place to another, and then to place said items into machine or out of machines.
Next up we want to get some
electricity
so that we can have inserters that run off that instead of fuel.
Electrical power
Electricity. This is where things start to get interesting. We're going to need a single
Offshore Pump
, a
boiler
and two
Steam Engines
. These are really simple to set up, they just require thirty-some iron plates per steam engine and 5 stone. The offshore pump goes in the water and needs no power to run. From there, you can either use pipes to transport the water to boilers, or you can run boilers straight from the pump. Water is fed into the boiler through the connection on the short side, as shown in the picture. If the boiler is fuelled, it will output steam in the middle of one of the long sides. The steam output of the boiler then connects to the middle of the short side of the steam engine. Make sure you connect it in the right place or it won't work. You can see where you can connect boilers and steam engines if you turn on the detailed view (press the Alt key). Boilers allow water to flow through, you can place multiple boilers next to each other and all will get water. Similarly, steam engines allow steam to run through, so you can have as many engine as you want connected in a row. Here is a small example.
Now you need to use power poles to carry power to your machines. Place some down so that their coverage area (the blue square) overlaps each steam engine in at least one square. If they are going to connect, the machines that use power will be shown with a blue outline around their edges.
If the steam engine is producing power but nothing is using it, it'll show a yellow flashing icon: right now it's showing because we don't have electric machines yet!
Your power setup can look however you want it to look. A boiler produces exactly as much steam as two steam engines can consume in the same time, so the usual method is to have a line of boilers each connected to two steam engines. The boilers are supplied with coal via inserters that take coal from a transport belt. A pump produces enough water for 20 boilers, so the most often used setup contains 1 offshore pump, 20 boilers and 40 steam engines. The example above is easily expanded into this efficient design. But hey, this game is all about experimentation and for you to be able to find ways to do your own things! So get to it, and show off your own unique designs!
Here's my personal favorite setup.
Using this power is as simple as creating a machine that runs on electricity and placing a power pole close enough to it that the blue square touches the machine, just like you have to do at the power plant with the engines. Make sure that there is a line of power poles that actually connect to your power plant.
Now that power is explained, we need to increase our resource production.
However, if you want detailed info on your power production/consumption, you can check the
Detailed Electric Network Info
, opened by clicking on any powerpole.
Re-thinking our resources and research
Next we really want to get onto automation of items, not just the smelting of ores.
Before we can get to that though, we're going to have increase our production of ores. This is where things start becoming a little tricky and there are few things you want to do at once.
We really want to be able to set the factory to make things and let it go. But for that we need some extra utilities which we don't have and need to get through
research
.
We haven't even touched on that yet! Let's start by cranking up our resource production. Now that we have electricity, we can use
Electric Mining Drills
. These are much better than those scummy Burner ones. They work exactly the same except they are twice as fast and they don't rely on fuel, as you could guess by the names. You can have them to output your raw resources onto belts and get them to a place where you can mass process the ores into plates. Here is a small example of what you could do, but let your imagination and your calculating logic figure out other, maybe even better ways of doing it! You want ore to be split more or less evenly on each side of the belts. This helps with the amount of resources that can be carried to your base of operations on a single belt.
This is once again easily expandable all over an iron deposit. This conveyor belt can then take all of the ore to some sort of processing area. The processing area needs some machines that we currently don't have due to limitations in our research.
Most importantly, we want the
long handed inserter
. This inserter is able to reach twice as far as a normal inserter! It is very useful for bringing or placing items to or from conveyor belts that are one extra tile away. So what we need to do is to make some science labs. They don't cost too many resources, but take a little while to make. Craft one or two of them and connect them to power. When you first place one, you are going to get a popup asking you what you want to research. We really want automation right now. This gives us our inserters and the Assembling machine 1, which is going to be very useful in the near future.
You'll notice that the cost for this is 10 Science Pack 1's, or "red potions" or "flasks" as some people like to call them. These are simply another crafted item, which you should craft 10 of now and place them in your labs to begin researching. While you are waiting for your flasks to craft or your research to complete, let's continue building an ore processing center. We want a line of copper, iron and coal to be available for this area. Despite being in the electric era, our furnaces still need coal until a little further down the line.
Below is another sample of how you
could
set up your area. There are efficient ways of making them that you might see on the forum, but if you want to learn about what they are and how they work, you can either experiment yourself or search the wiki/forum for some better designs.
As per usual, I leave this area with plenty of room to expand later on when demands become higher. The important parts about this is that you need the red, long handed inserters to be able to reach the coal in the middle to fuel your furnaces. You need seperate belts for your incoming raw materials to be able to be processed, and then another belt outside of them to handle the output after they have been smelted. These materials can then go straight into your base to be made into a myriad of other things. Finally, we have a steady and upgradeable supply of copper and iron plates, and we can get into further automation with the assembling machines so we can automate creation of things like Science Packs, Ammunition and every other item that the player themselves can craft, but without you involved at all!
Automating that research
Ok, so a fair amount has happened. Now, to be able to progress into later parts of the game with better research we are going to want automate the process of making science packs and putting them into the labs. This way we won't have to worry about research any longer.
There are many designs that you can find on the forums, but I'll show you something simple, letting you find what works for you. I would highly recommend that you research Logistics as your next research, and in fact manually craft the science required for this. The logistic research gives you some important things: the
splitter
, the
underground belt
and the
fast inserter
. The splitter and underground belts are some of the most important items you'll get at this stage. They do pretty much what their names imply.
So what do science packs require? We need copper plates and iron gears. So far we have only dealt with raw resources, how do we make craftable things? The Assembler answers your prayers! If you place an assembler down and open its interface, it asks you what you would like it to craft. Once you select one, if you put the ingredients in that it requires it will craft the item and you can pull out the finished product. In the case of red science packs, we will need an assembler making iron gears, and an assembler making the actual packs. A nice way of doing this is to have a conveyor belt with 1 side containing the copper plates and the other side taking the gears from another assembler like below.
Now this picture uses a few neat little tricks that I will explain in detail. If you have your plate belts seperate, and you want them running side by side there can be issues with trying to grab one or the other resources from the far belt. Yes, you could use a long inserter, but in some cases you don't want this (e.g. you need a fast inserter to get resources quickly into your assemblers).
The area in red is a good way to get around this. By having a splitter, you can move the far belt from your production in close while also allowing it to continue down the line for later use. For the copper, we use an underground belt to go underneath the area that is now taken by the far line which also allows the copper to continue on. Once again, this is only one possible method of doing things and you are in no way obligated to follow it.
The area in blue is a quick way to allow copper to continue down the main line, while also splitting some off for our red science assemblers. Notice how when it joins the line that the gears are on, they only join the bottom side of the belt. The little extra belt that I added to the left stops the belt from becoming a turn, and therefore makes the items only join the side I want them to. The rest is simple: the gears and copper get pulled into the assemblers, they make the science and then it gets pulled out again on the other side. These flasks can then be transported to some labs to automatically do your research for you, for example like this:

Space Age
expansion exclusive feature.
This article is about the new equipment introduced in
Space Age
. For the base game reactor equipment, see
Portable fission reactor
.
Portable fusion reactors are advanced power generating modules for equipment grids, and the most powerful one in
Space Age
. They generate 2.5 MW of power, equivalent roughly 83.3
portable solar panels
or 3.3
portable fission reactors
, while taking up only a 4×4 area in the equipment grid.
Portable fusion reactors are an unlimited source of energy and require nothing to power them.
Trivia
The model is a reference to the movie
Back to the Future
, specifically the "Mr. Fusion" item on the back of the DeLorean. The "Mr. Fusion" is itself a riff on "Mr. Coffee," as the prop was a modified coffee maker.
The portable fusion reactor is the only item in base game Factorio to become Space Age exclusive content.

Affordability
Infinite research is essentially an inexhaustible resource sink for players who build very large bases. While the bonuses it provides can significantly improve the player's capabilities (particularly as regards combat), they are subject to diminishing returns; thus, the per-level contributions from very high levels of infinite research will eventually provide only marginal improvements.
As the price of most infinite research topics (specifically, those based on geometric progressions) increases very steeply, it may be a good idea for players to set realistic target levels for each of the infinite research topics they wish to pursue, and make their factory plans accordingly. To that end, the following properties of cumulative infinite research prices may be useful:
The cumulative price of the first
N - F
levels (notation as in previous sections; i.e., here counting "infinite" levels only) of infinite research topics whose underlying equation is a powers-of-two geometric series (see equation type (1) in preceding sections) is
2 × P[N] - P[F+1]
; i.e., twice the price of the final researched level, less the price of the first "infinite" level.
This tends toward
2 × P[N]
as
N
goes to infinity.
The above also shows that, assuming constant research speed (usually, this is the same as science pack production capacity), each subsequent level of an infinite research topic of this type will take about as long as
all
preceding infinite levels took combined (or, twice as long as the previous level).
Further, assuming one has reached a level M they consider the "highest feasible" with their current science pack production capacity, expanding said capacity by a factor of
X
will allow at least
floor(log[2](X))
and at most
ceiling(log[2](X))
(i.e., the next lower / higher integer from the base-2 logarithm of
X
) additional levels to be researched before the next level takes longer to research with the expanded capacity than level
M + 1
would have taken with the pre-expansion production capacity.
For example, if one expands production capacity by a factor of 10, they will be able to research at least
floor(log[2](10)) = 3
and at most
ceiling(log[2](10)) = 4
additional levels in a given technology before the exponential increase in price wipes out the benefits of their ×10 capacity expansion.
The cumulative price of the first
N - F
levels of infinite research topics whose underlying equation is an arithmetic series (equation type (3)) is
(N - F) × (P[N] + P[F + 1]) ÷ 2
; i.e,
N - F
times the mean of the prices of the first and last "infinite" level.
Expanding production capacity by a factor of
X
, as above, will in this case allow an additional
N × (X - 1)
levels to be researched before the benefit of the expansion is wiped out (i.e., research progress speed drops to or below what it was pre-expansion).
The cumulative price of the first
N
levels of
artillery shell shooting speed
, the sole infinite research topic whose underlying equation is a powers-of-three geometric series (equation type (2)) is
1.5 × P[N] - 0.5 × P[1]
; i.e., 1.5 times the price of the final researched level, less half the price of the first level.
Note that the expressions above have been simplified to reflect the fact that this particular topic has F = 0. Since it is the only topic with this equation type, the loss of generality does not matter.
In all calculations above, the constant
C
(see equations) is ignored; for the topics where
C ≠ 0
, results must be adjusted by adding
C × (N - F)
. This only applies to
follower robot count
and
artillery shooting speed
.
In all cases, the player can calculate the research price of their target level using the general equations (1), (2), (3) (see preceding sections), look up the price of the first "infinite" level in the table above, then use the summation properties described herein to arrive at a total science pack budget.
Note that these prices reflect
research units
, which will not be equal to science packs if
productivity modules
are used in labs. (In that case, the science pack requirement will be lower.)
Throughput
Unlike belt-based transport systems, there is no simple, straightforward way to precisely calculate how many trains one needs to move a given quantity of items. However, like other transport methods, there is a well-defined output of resources at the source (loading station) and consumption at the destination (unloading station). Based on these, a train network can be designed either to move all product from the source to the destination (capacity covers all input), or to move at least enough product to cover demand at the destination (if this is less than output at the source).
Players should note that if a train network is underdesigned (not enough trains to cover demand at destination), trains will tend to load and unload in the minimum time possible given the player's station design, and spend most of their time traveling. If, on the other hand, a network is overdesigned (more trains than needed to cover demand at destination), then the network will self-adjust by leaving some trains underutilized, and the "extra" trains will tend to wait in and before stations.
In the latter case, if output at source is greater than demand at destination, the trains will tend to wait before the destination (waiting to unload), while if output is less than demand, trains will pile before the source (waiting to load). Either way, this is why it is a good idea to have stackers (waiting areas) near your stations, so that such waiting trains do not block other traffic on the network's main "through" rails.
Note that the above behavior corresponds to "wait until full / empty" departure conditions at source / destination. Certain other conditions / condition combinations will preserve it, but some will not. For example, trains set to leave stations if and only if a specific number of seconds has passed will always do so, regardless of whether they are full, empty, or partially empty, and will generally not adjust to changes in source output / destination demand in any way.
Simple Example - Ore Transport
Let us assume the player needs to transport all the ore mined at remote mining outposts back to their base for smelting, and decides to use trains and stations dedicated to each ore type, but running the bulk of the distance on the same rail system. The train configuration the player has decided on is 1-4-0; i.e., 1 locomotive, 4 cargo wagons, no locomotives on the other end of the train (unidirectional, or "single-headed", train). The trains will run on nuclear fuel for best possible acceleration and top speed.
The player will likely want to know how many trains they will need to assign to each ore loading station to transport all of their mines' output, and may also be interested in the total number of trains to help them decide on how many rails their system should use.
Let us focus on transporting the output of a single iron ore field. (The situation would be the same for copper or coal, as they have the same mining time and stack size as iron, but not stone or uranium, whose mining times are different.) The field has 120 drills, of which none are expected to run out in the near future; the drills use only efficiency modules and the player's mining productivity bonus is at 80%. The field has its own loading station to which no other fields contribute their output.
A manual calculation (or one of the online Factorio calculators) tells us that this field will produce about 6,800 ore per minute (a bit less than 3 full blue belts). All trains have 4 wagons per train, which can transport 8,000 units of iron ore (2,000 units, in 40 stacks of 50, per wagon). For simplicity, let us assume that all trains serving this station will stop at no other loading stations and deliver all cargo to only a single unloading station (which may, however, be shared with trains from other loading stations).
The throughput of the train network associated with this station (i.e., the station, its destination, and all trains running the route between the two) is then
J = 8,000 x N / T
, where N is the number of trains on the route and T is the time an individual train takes to run a full circuit on the route (i.e., for example the time between a particular train's two successive departures from the loading station). (J, used in physics for flux, here denotes throughput.)
The number of trains we need to move 6,800 ore per minute on the network is then
N = J x T / 8,000 = T x 6,800 / 8,000 = T x 17 / 20 = 0.85 T
. So far, the mathematics has been straightforward; however, the time
T
a train takes to complete a circuit will in practice likely need to be estimated; the only other option is detailed observation of trains running on the actual network in question.
Estimation of train round trip time - Simple
The Advanced section below is quite technical and mostly discusses advanced concepts in train network design. If you are here looking for a simple way to estimate the time a train takes on a track also used by other trains, this is probably sufficient:
Estimate the
full-speed circuit time
The simplest way is probably either to drive manually through at top speed, stopping nowhere, or to divide the length of the circuit in tiles by train top speed with the fuel in question (usually, 83 tiles / second).
For detailed advice, see Advanced section.
Add
20-30 seconds
, depending on whether, in your estimation, the part of the network the train will run on has "a lot" or "little" traffic
Note that the above is intended for train schedules conforming to the example in the previous "Ore Transport" section, i.e., schedules where:
The train moves a single product
The train has only 1 loading and 1 unloading stop
The train loads till full and unloads till empty
Even then, it is highly simplified and intended for networks that:
Are well designed
Are well signaled
Have well-organized traffic
Have efficient station design
Are of "reasonable" length and complexity
For example, a typical megabase-scale network might be too large to qualify.
Are not overloaded
In addition to the above, it will generally tend to be a poor estimate in any of the following cases:
The network has service interruptions, for example due to:
deadlocks
trains out of fuel
biter damage
bad circuit logic, etc.
The departure conditions are poorly designed
Low-performing fuel is used
Generally, nuclear fuel is optimal, but rocket fuel may also be adequate; if your trains burn small power poles, do not expect the above figure to be accurate.
Related research (braking force, stack inserter capacity) is lacking (should be at maximum)
If you believe your network may have some of the above issues, feel free to read on; some (though not all) are covered in the more technical section below.
Estimation of train round trip time - Advanced
To reduce the level of abstraction and provide numerical results, this section at times relies on the assumptions made in the "Ore Transport" example above.
Estimation of the train round trip time could proceed e.g. like this:
1. Measure the approximate length of rail, in tiles, that makes up the circuit.
If the circuit mostly consists of parallel "there" and "back" rails in close proximity, measuring the one-way length and multiplying by 2 is probably good enough.
If the bulk of your rail line follows a tiled blueprint of known length (e.g., a reasonably long segment of perimeter wall), you can count the number of iterations of that blueprint to get a simple estimate of the length of the rail.
It is possible to place text notes on the main map. If your rail line is mostly a long, straight drive to some far-flung outpost, you could measure convenient landmarks (big power poles, fixed-interval defenses, etc.) and note the distance from some starting point in the map in reasonable intervals (e.g., 500 or 1,000 tiles) for any future needs.
The same as above can be accomplished with "marker" blueprints of known length.
The marker would be some distinctive but non-essential blueprintable structure, e.g. a "+" made out of walls, etc.
Blueprint two identical markers a known distance apart; tile the blueprint by aligning the "starting" marker copy of the current iteration with the "end" copy of the previous iteration.
These can also be combined with the map notes if desired.
Precision measurements are generally not essential; for example, an error on the +-10% scale is probably acceptable for most purposes.
If precision results are desired, there are several options:
If the entire rail line is covered by radar vision, you can blueprint it (in parts if necessary) and count the number of rail segments (x2 for number of tiles) in the blueprint tooltip.
You could isolate the line from all traffic and send a train through for a "test lap", using either out-of-game timepieces or in-game combinator clocks to measure the duration directly. Note that clearing all traffic may be highly impractical if parts of the route are in heavy use by other automated trains.
You could do the same as above but drive manually, "pedal to the metal", and hope for the best on any intersections. In this case, you would not need to clear traffic, but saving the game beforehand might be a good idea.
2. On nuclear fuel, train top speed is 83 tiles / second (shown in-game as 298.8 km/h, on the assumption that 1 tile = 1 meter, the mps-to-kph conversion factor being x3.6).
3. First assume that the train will run the entire circuit at top speed, with no waiting at crossings and stations and "instant" acceleration / deceleration. In that case, its time will be
T[1] = L / 83
seconds, where
L
is the length of one full circuit in
tiles
. (If measured from rail blueprint: Keep in mind that 1 straight rail segment = 2 tiles; 1 curved rail segment =~ 8 tiles.)
4. Next, you will need to make adjustments to the "lower bound time"
T[1]
, mainly for:
4.1. Time spent loading and unloading
In this, assume the train (un)loads in the minimum time the station can manage. This will generally be true unless the station becomes the bottleneck (not enough output at source / demand at destination), which will only happen if the train capacity is overdesigned. Since we are trying to find the
minimum
required number of trains, that case does not interest us.
The minimum possible time to load a train is about
12.04 * (S / 100)
seconds, where
S
is stack size of the item being loaded.
This applies when:
12 stack inserters per wagon are used
inserter stack size bonus is researched to maximum
there is no slot limiting in the wagon (via the red X symbol or due to slots being filter-reserved for something else)
inserters load from / unload into chests with sufficient item stocks / free space
Note that the number of wagons has no effect, as all can load simultaneously.
Note that if item stack size is less than inserter stack size (i.e., <12, which applies to items that stack to 1, 5, and 10), this formula ceases to be applicable; instead, the time is uniformly
T = 40 / (12 * 2.31) =~ 1.44 s
, which is the minimum possible time to load a cargo wagon full.
The numbers represent: 40 - number of stacks a wagon can take; 12 - number of inserters that can be placed around a wagon; 2.31 - number of stack inserter arm cycles per second for chest-to-chest loading.
Note that for items that do not stack (i.e., stack to 1; this includes e.g. nuclear fuel and artillery shells), it does not matter whether a stack or non-stack (fast) inserter is used, as when item stack size is less than inserter stack size, it is the
item
stack size that is moved, and stack and fast inserters (as well as both their filter versions) have the same movement speed.
Since for ores, S = 50, the time to load a train full of ore is about 6.02 seconds. Thus, assume 6 seconds to load and another 6 to unload.
4.2. Time spent accelerating from and decelerating before stations
For stations, both acceleration and deceleration time depend only on:
train mass
number of active locomotives
fuel acceleration (and, indirectly, top speed) bonus
braking force research
Assuming 1-4-0 trains running on nuclear fuel and braking research at maximum, the time penalty due to acceleration and deceleration vis-a-vis a full-speed run is not large. It could be calculated using the actual values the game uses to do so, which could likely be retrieved from the game files; however, this is tedious and probably not necessary. (Note that the calculation would most likely require calculus, as generally acceleration problems lead to differential equations.)
4.3. Time spent waiting at, accelerating from, and decelerating before intersections
4.3.1. Waiting time:
4.3.2. Acceleration and deceleration time
These can vary wildly depending on how many times the train must stop at intersections, as well as how far before the intersection the train starts decelerating.
Acceleration time from a light is the same as from a station, but deceleration time can be reduced (all the way to zero, i.e., an instant stop) if a light in front of the train turns red later than the point where the train would need to start braking using the "normal" deceleration curve.
Trains
always
stop at red lights so long as the train's lead element has not yet passed the light's position, even if they need to decelerate from full speed to zero in a single tick to do so, as it is the only way to conclusively prevent crashes between automated trains given the pathfinding and driving algorithms the game uses.
The likelihood of a light turning red while a train is "too near" to stop normally generally increases with the number of intersections on the route and the amount of traffic trough them; however, aside from that observation it is highly unpredictable to the point of near-randomness.
Note that generally, problems of this type - i.e., the organization of transport and throughput on topologically complex networks - require
very
advanced mathematics to solve, and some are not even known to have (or are known to not have) definite analytical solutions. In any event, the complexity of calculation that would be required is far beyond what it is likely reasonable to expend on a partial component of a problem in a video game.
As a practical solution, you may apply a small reduction (say, around ~1 second per instance) to the acceleration + deceleration time penalty of a red light stop relative to the time penalty you have estimated for the acceleration + deceleration part of a station stop.
In general, as a network approaches a certain level of traffic (its "limit throughput"), delays due to intersection waits, originally small for traffic levels well below the limit, will tend to increase over-proportionally to the incremental increase in traffic, and eventually the network will lock down completely. (The lockdown level of traffic is an exceedingly complex function of the network's topology, and calculating it would entail the high mathematics mentioned above.)
For traffic levels near the lockdown threshold, transit times will be finite but exceedingly high; therefore, given how cheap all cosntruction in Factorio ultimately is, it is best to expand the network infrastructure if and when you start noticing considerable delays due to intersections (i.e., delays relative to a "clean" run of the circuit with no waits).
Where exactly you set your cutoff is up to you, but if your trains spend, say, 1/3 of total circuit time waiting, your network is probably nearing its limits and you might do well to consider expanding it. (Although before that, it may be a good idea to check that the source of excessive delays is not deadlocks, trains out of fuel, biter damage, poor or incorrect signalling, and other "preventable" problems.)
As a side note, this also implies there is a
maximum
throughput that a network with a given topology can have such that adding further trains past the number corresponding to the maximum actually
lowers
the throughput. An intuitive way to visualize this is a road which obviously moves more cars from start to end when not quite full than when completely jammed. While there are certainly more individual cars per unit length on the solid-jam road than on the half-full one, none of them are getting anywhere, while on the half-full road at least
some
cars are getting somewhere. Unfortunately, again the optimum capacity is hard to calculate unless the network is trivially simple. | wiki | https://wiki.factorio.com/User_talk:Misacek01_-_Factorio_Wiki |
