Infobox:Tesla ammo

Concrete

2019-01-26T06:46:42Z

Goose: Added Trivia to this page

{{Languages}}
{{:Infobox:Concrete}}

'''Concrete''' is an ingredient utilized for [[Rocket_silo|rocket silos]], [[Refined_concrete|refined concrete]], [[Artillery_turret|artillery turrets]] and facilities relating to nuclear material ([[nuclear reactor|reactors]] and [[centrifuge]]s). Concrete serves as path with more advanced bonuses compared with [[stone brick]]s. Concrete increases walking speed by 40% and decreases vehicle rolling resistance, allowing for extra acceleration and top speed, although each vehicle is affected differently; the tank is only affected by a 20% bonus, for example. Concrete has no effect on the movement speed of [[enemies]].

== Placement ==

Concrete is placed using {{Keybinding|lmb}} and can be removed by using {{Keybinding|rmb}} while holding any kind of path.
The area in which concrete is placed can be increased and decreased by using {{Keybinding|numplus}} and {{Keybinding|numminus}}. Placing it over another type of path automatically mines the previous path.

== History ==

{{history|0.13.0|
* Added hazard concrete.}}

{{history|0.12.7|
* Placing stone or concrete floors will remove bushes.}}

{{history|0.12.0|
* Introduced}}

Land mine

2018-08-19T20:55:08Z

Goose: displays trigger radius and updated the history segment.

{{Languages}}
{{:Infobox:Land mine}}
Land mines are small, passive defense systems that explode when enemies come closer than 2.5 tiles of them, dealing 300 damage and stunning enemies for 3 seconds. Land mines can be placed freely on the map. They deal enough damage to kill [[Enemies|small/medium enemies]] or unarmored [[player]]s outright, but will only injure and stun larger enemies.

After placing, land mines take 2 seconds to arm and bury in the ground. During those 2 seconds, they are visible to enemies and can be destroyed by biters or directly shot by enemy players. After burying, enemy land mines can only be destroyed using weapons with area damage, for example [[grenade]]s or the [[flamethrower]].

Land mines are the only passive defense in Factorio; if an alien is hit by a land mine, they will not start chasing the player.

== History ==

{{History|0.16.31|
* Enemy mines are not completely invisible anymore in PvP scenarios.
* Land mines now also stun enemy players.}}
