MaanooAk: Add fish breeding

{{Languages}}
{{Stub}}
{{About/Space age}}
[[File:gleba_preview.png|210px|right]]'''Gleba''' is a moist, agricultural planet with fungal hills and swampy lowlands.

It is home to the [[pentapods]]{{SA}}, spider-like [[enemies]] who are attracted to the scent of biological processing, similar to the way that [[Nauvis]] creatures negatively respond to [[pollution]].

=== Exclusive Items ===
The following items are unlocked on Gleba:

* [[Agricultural tower]]{{SA}}
* [[Heating tower]]{{SA}}
* [[Biochamber]]{{SA}}
* [[Biolab]]{{SA}}
* [[Stack inserter]]{{SA}}
* [[Rocket turret]]{{SA}}
* [[Spidertron]]

== Mechanics ==
=== Spoilage ===
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]],{{SA}} 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.

When crafting with spoilable items, the final product will inherit the freshness value of the ingredients. The three exceptions are [[Iron Bacteria|iron]] and [[copper bacteria]] cultivation, [[pentapod eggs]] and [[fish]] breeding, whose recipes will always result in a 100% fresh product, regardless of the freshness of the ingredients.

When crafting with two different spoilable items of different freshness values, like in the [[agricultural science pack]]{{SA}} and [[bioflux]]{{SA}} recipes, the final product's freshness is determined by the following formula

* (Larger freshness/2) + (Smaller freshness/1.5) = Final freshness value 

The agricultural science pack does spoil, which will gradually decrease its research value, so the player is incentivized to build a fast space platform to bring them back to Nauvis.

Spoilable items are used as ingredients in a few non-spoilable items, such as the [[biochamber]]{{SA}}. In these, the freshness value of the ingredients do not matter in the product being produced.

Wall

{{Languages}}
{{:Infobox:Wall}}

'''Walls''' provide basic damage protection against [[enemies]]. They are used to protect fragile targets from advancing enemy forces, and extend the amount of time defensive structures like [[turret]]s have to kill the enemy.

While walls block movement for both the player and enemies, [[gate]]s can be constructed to allow easy automatic passage for the player. Gates share the same health and resistances to walls, so no defensive power is lost.

Walls do not block projectiles, however, allowing both the player and enemies to shoot over the walls at nearby targets. Ensure that all walls built are far enough away from precious machines so they cannot be damaged over the walls. Due to projectiles' ability to fly over walls, [[turret]]s built behind walls will be able to shoot at enemies. This is optimal, as it allows turrets to avoid damage from melee fighters, which must break through the wall to attack targets behind it. Although, care should be taken as the game progresses and enemies evolve because [[Enemies#Biters|big and behemoth biters]] can attack 2 tiles away, meaning they can hit structures directly behind a single layer of walls. To prevent this, structures can be moved further back from the walls or a second layer of walls can be added.

Due to the resistance of stone walls, they can take a long amount of time to destroy, despite having less health than most defensive structures. However, it may be necessary in some cases to double-layer walls or even place them in maze-like formations, to slow down enemies even more.

Placing walls in four adjacent tiles forming a square will cause the inner space to be filled. This is only a visual property, the health and the rest of the properties of the walls are not affected.

Programmable speaker

{{:Infobox:Programmable speaker}}

The ''programmable speaker'' is a circuit network entity that is capable of producing alerts in the form of sound, and elements on nearby players' guis. It can be connected to the circuit network to produce an alert when a signal drops below a certain value, for example.

== GUI and configuration ==

[[File:Programmable_speaker_ui.png|250px]]

It can be toggled whether the sound plays globally so that it can be heard anywhere on the map, or locally so it will only be audible in the immediate vicinity of the speaker. As a courtesy, only enable global play on multiplayer when it is important that all players be notified. Only 50 sounds can be heard at once due to a game limitation.

The volume of the programmable speaker can be controlled in the GUI. This determines the audio volume, and the carry distance if global playback is unticked. The range at full volume appears to be 64 tiles.

As well as playing a sound, it can also be set to send a GUI text alert so the player can see what has caused the alarm. Both text and an icon can be specified. In order to show an [[Alerts|alert]] in players' GUIs, "Show alert" must be ticked. Additional options will be shown that allow the player to select an icon and text for the alert.

The "Allow polyphony" check-box determines whether more than one sound may be played at once. Essentially, when hooking up a constant signal to a programmable speaker, with polyphony enabled, sounds will repeat extremely rapidly. (10 per second or so) Without polyphony, this is limited to about 1 per half second. Disabling polyphony is useful to avoid alerts being spammed and causing hearing damage. However, if producing music, polyphony may be needed.

The "Circuit value is pitch" check-box allows dynamically changing the pitch of the sound created by changing the circuit value. This is useful for music production. If the player simply wants a sound to be created whenever the conditional is met, they should disable this check-box.

Artillery wagon

2017-12-16T14:17:15Z

MaanooAk: See also section

{{Languages}}{{:Infobox:Artillery wagon}}{{Stub}}
The '''artillery wagon''' is an end-game wagon that can be added to a train. It fires artillery shells over large distances, either automatically at nearby biter spawners and worms, or at manually designated targets.

In automatic mode, when the train isn't moving, the artillery wagon will automatically scan for enemy buildings (biter nests and worms) and shoot at them. Tragets can be manually designated by clicking on the ground (or the map) using an [[artillery targeting remote]]. For each click, an artillery wagon in range will fire once at the target. Firing at the biters from far away isn't all consequence free, as they will run to the wagon and try to attack it.

The artillery wagon can fire while stopped at a train stop, but '''not''' when stopped at a red signal or when moving. When a train with an artillery wagon is stopped at a train stop, aiming and shooting counts as activity for the purposes of "X seconds of inactivity" departure conditions in the train's schedule.

Crafting

{{Languages}}
[[File:Receipe-cheatsheet.jpg|400px|thumb|Recipe cheatsheet, taken from [https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-6 Factorio Friday Facts #6].]]
Crafting means the production of new entities out of others by using a [[Recipe]]. The character or [[Assembling machine]]s craft. [[Furnace]]s smelt, which is not really crafting (cause it can't be done by the character/assemblies), even if smelting uses also recipes.

In the beginning of the game, it is easy to make everything manually, but as the time advances manual crafting is less and less sufficient way to create stuff. Products that require liquids and a few others (such as engine units) cannot be manually crafted. Remember always: Factorio is a game about automation: Even if it look to much work, it is in most cases less work to built assemblies for doing the most important and nastiest stuff.

=== Items ===
Manual crafting:
{| class="wikitable"
| {{imagelink|iron-axe|Iron axe}} || Very useful.
|-
| {{imagelink|steel-axe|Steel axe}} || More useful.
|-
| {{imagelink|character-logistic-slots|Character logistic slots}} || Research how your character feels being like a [[Requester chest]]
|-
|}
Key structures in automated crafting are:
{| class="wikitable"
| {{imagelink|electric-mining-drill|Mining drill|Mining drills}} || Collecting [[Items#resources|resources]] to provide them to the [[Transport network]].
|-
| {{imagelink|stone-furnace|Furnace|Furnaces}} || Smelting [[Items#resources|resources]] to [[Items#Intermediate products|intermediate products]].
|-
| {{imagelink|assembling-machine-1|Assembling machine|Assembling machines}} || Assemble [[Items#Intermediate products|intermediate products]] to [[Items|needed items]].
|-
|}

== Basic ==
'''Task''': create [[Iron plate]]s.

* Place a [[Burner mining drill]] on a [[Iron ore]] resource field.
* Place a [[Furnace]] directly in front of the output, so that the miner outputs the ore '''into''' the furnace.
* Fill both (burner and furnace) with [[Fuel]]
* Wait. After a few seconds, the first piece of [[Iron plate]] is smelted and available for collection.

== Advanced ==
Crafting by player: .... Todo ... How many items needed etc better explained as second task?

Crafting of [[Items]] can be automated. Place the needed building, select the recipe and whenever all ingredients are stored in the building the recipe will be produced one after one. To keep up continuous production ingredients have to be provided via [[Transport network|belts]] and [[Inserters]]. The manufactured [[Items]] can also be extracted by [[Inserters]] and are then available for further usage.

=== Tools/Cheatcheets ===

There is a growing list of [[ToolCheatcheet|Tools and Cheatsheets]], to gain more control about the complex crafting processes.

=== Factory chains ===
[[File:assembling-machine-example-1.png|thumb|256px|A factory chain producing [[Smart inserter]]s.]]
Sometimes an assembling machine requires so much input that there is more than one machine needed to supply enough material. In this case you may lose some efficiency when extracting the intermediate products on to a belt transport for only a few squares to insert them again into the final assembling machine. When using [[Inserters]] from machine to machine the [[Inserter item stack size]] bonus applies, saving power and time.

This method is best used when the intermediate products are not needed anywhere else.

== New "Around the game" introduced ==

I'm not so sure, if that was a good idea. My normal way would be to change it and then look at it in some days/weeks, but with more wikianers I could just ask. So maybe, this Main page gets a little bit to big now? If so, please make suggestions or change it. :) [[User:Ssilk|Ssilk]] ([[User talk:Ssilk|talk]]) 23:37, 18 October 2014 (CEST)

[[Fuel]] can be inserted into [[burner devices]] and burned to power them. Different types of Fuel provide different amounts of energy, measured in megajoules (MJ).

== Types ==
This is a list of all [[Items]] usable as [[Fuel]] in burner devices, ordered by fuel value:
{| class="wikitable"
! Item !! Fuel value !! Fuel value per raw total
|-
| {{imagelink|wood|Wood}} || 2 MJ || 4 MJ per raw wood
|-
| {{imagelink|raw-wood|Raw wood}} || 4 MJ || 4 MJ per raw wood
|-
| {{imagelink|wooden-chest|Wooden chest}} || 6 MJ || 3 MJ per raw wood
|-
| {{imagelink|coal|Coal}} || 8 MJ || 8 MJ per coal
|-
| {{imagelink|solid-fuel|Solid fuel}} || 25 MJ || 20 MJ per unit of [[Crude oil]] *
|-
| {{imagelink|small-electric-pole|Small electric pole}} || 4 MJ || 4MJ per raw wood
|-
| {{imagelink|rocket-fuel|Rocket fuel}} || 225 MJ ** ||
|}

(*) This assumes the Crude oil is processed completely into Solid fuel, using [[Advanced oil processing]] and [[Heavy oil cracking]] as intermediate steps, but not [[Light oil cracking]]. Less efficient methods are possible. In practice, the [[Petroleum Gas]] part of processed crude oil is more likely to be used for something other than Solid fuel.

(**) Note that through version 0.12.35, [[Rocket fuel]] is not Fuel and cannot be used in burner devices.

[[Fuel]] can be inserted into [[burner devices]] and burned to power them. Different types of Fuel provide different amounts of energy, measured in megajoules (MJ).

== Types ==
This is a list of all [[Items]] usable as [[Fuel]] in burner devices, ordered by fuel value:
{| class="wikitable"
! Item !! Fuel value !! Fuel value per raw total
|-
| {{imagelink|wood|Wood}} || 2 MJ || 4 MJ per raw wood
|-
| {{imagelink|raw-wood|Raw wood}} || 4 MJ || 4 MJ per raw wood
|-
| {{imagelink|wooden-chest|Wooden chest}} || 6 MJ || 3 MJ per raw wood
|-
| {{imagelink|coal|Coal}} || 8 MJ || 8 MJ per coal
|-
| {{imagelink|solid-fuel|Solid fuel}} || 25 MJ || 20 MJ per unit of [[Crude oil]] *
|-
| {{imagelink|small-electric-pole|Small electric pole}} || 4 MJ || 4MJ per raw wood
|-
| {{imagelink|rocket-fuel|Rocket fuel}} || 225 MJ ||
|}

(*) This assumes the Crude oil is processed completely into Solid fuel, using [[Advanced oil processing]] and [[Heavy oil cracking]] as intermediate steps, but not [[Light oil cracking]]. Less efficient methods are possible. In practice, the [[Petroleum Gas]] part of processed crude oil is more likely to be used for something other than Solid fuel.

Note that through version 0.12.35, [[Rocket fuel]] is not Fuel and cannot be used in burner devices.

The [[Stack inserter]] is an electric inserter that can move more items at the same time. It was introduced in game version 0.13, replacing the [[Smart inserter]] that had been made unnecessary by changes to circuit and logistics functionality.

Moving at the speed of the [[Fast inserter]], it transfers multiple items per cycle between containers to give it a material flow advantage at the cost of additional power consumption.

== Stack size ==

The stack size is increased by the [[Inserter capacity bonus]] technologies.

Cargo wagon

The [[Cargo wagon]] is used in conjunction with [[Diesel locomotive]]s to form trains for the [[Railway network]].

Please look into [[Vehicle/Train/Wagon]] for general information about this.

A wagon is used to transport items by train and can be filled/unfilled at [[Railway network/Train station|train stations]] like a chest, but with many more inserters at the same time. Up to 12 inserters per wagon are possible (from both sides).
The [[Inserter item stack size]] is important to fill the wagon fast!

== Stack limitation ==

Wagons have a [[Storage/Stack#Stack limitation|stack limitation]]. Use it to limit the number of items, that can be inserted. This is useful, if you want to limit the number of transported items for some cases.

== Stack filter ==

Each stack in the cargo wagon can be filtered. This works in the same way as with your quick bar (the toolbelt), default is pressing middle mouse button.

This can be used to transport some different items in one wagon, without overfilling it. Best example is for transporting empty and full oil barrels in one wagon and at the train stations the barrels are exchanged by smart inserters.

See for example [http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=68288&p=53467&hilit=Filter#p53467 Tired of babysitting expansions? Auto-supply w/ trains!].

== Compressing items ==

A cargo wagon can be filled with 2000 items of ores ([[Copper ore|copper]], [[Iron ore|iron]], [[Coal|coal]]...) or 4000 item of processed plates ([[Copper plate|copper plates]], [[Iron plate|iron plates]], [[Steel bar|steel]]), which makes it a eventually a useful strategy to process the iron "in place", where you mine it, before you transport it to your factory. There are also [[Transport/Compress by Pre-production|other strategies of compressing the cargo before load]].

== Positions of wagons and inserters ==

The wagons can be filled/emptied at [[Railway network/Train station|train stations]].

== Using as big chest ("multi-inserter chest") ==

It is possible to use the cargo wagon as a "big chest": Place rails, put a wagon on it and inserters around. The advantage of this construction is
* you can feed/unload the wagon with much more inserters (from/to a belt), and from here into/from another stack based system (a chest, assembly). This goes around the limitations of [[Inserter item stack size bonus|inserter stack size bonus]].
* You can "transport" items over up to 14 (?) tiles (size of wagon plus length of long arm inserters).

Using the wagon as storage chest enables to have more throughput at small space:
:[[File:PanelAM2b.jpg|600px|]]

Here in detail how this works: Many inserters put items into the wagons and only some out. This is only possible because [[Inserter_item_stack_size]] is researched
:[[File:FeedingAM2.png|400px]]

This is an attempt to use a fully upgrade assembly3 with speed modules, but this isn't able to feed quick enough.
