Oil processing is a large part of Factorio. It was introduced in v0.9. Oil processing may refer to [[Oil processing (research)|the researched technology\\, the recipe used in the [[oil refinery]], or the overall workings of oil.

The values shown here are accurate for version 0.15. In 0.14, anything that produces, consumes, or stores any fluid does so at 1/10th of the quantities listed here. Solid items and ratios are unaffected; this is essentially just a cosmetic change of the displayed units.

==Mechanics & Usage==
To extract, process and use oil and its connected products, research, as shown above, is needed.

===Overview===
[[File:Example-Oil-Refining.png|thumb|256px|Crude oil being drilled and refined.]] [[File:Example-Oil-Cracking.png|thumb|256px|Oil being cracked into lower forms.]] [[File:Example-Oil-Usage.png|thumb|256px|Oil being used to create plastic and batteries.]]
[[Pumpjack]]s need to be placed on top of the middle of the oil well. Given [[Electric network|electricity]] (90kW, upgradeable), [[Pumpjack]]s will produce a certain amount of [[Crude oil]] per second, shown on the right, at the bottom of the information panel. Over time this value will decrease down to a minimum of 0.1 oil/s, providing infinite oil at a very low rate.

All liquids can be transported by [[Pipe]]s, only Crude oil can be filled into [[Barrel]]s and moved with the [[Railway network]] or other [[vehicle]]s.

The Crude Oil then needs to be refined in an [[Oil refinery]]. The Oil refinery also needs Power provided by an [[Electric network]]. It has a much higher demand, at 420kW, but it is also upgradeable. The oil refinery needs to have a recipe set (see above for available recipes). Once it is set, the inputs and outputs show what needs to be, and what will be supplied. You cannot move the locations of these, only rotate the entire machine. Make sure that the products have somewhere to go (preferably [[Storage Tank|Storage Tanks]]), as the refinery will stop production of all products if one product output is full.

Now you have the three basic products. [[Heavy Oil]], [[Light Oil]] and [[Petroleum Gas]]. Both Heavy Oil and Light Oil can be cracked to the next lower type in a [[Chemical plant]] (recipe above). This is useful if you've got lots of Light Oil, but are lacking in [[Petroleum Gas]] (A common problem).

From here, after some research, you can use the oil products to create various products. They are all listed above.

=== Tips ===
* [[Lubricant]]
** If you run your Heavy Oil pipe from the refineries past a Lubricant-making Chemical Plant before sending it to the cracking Chemical Plants, you can be sure that the Lubricant production will have priority over cracking.
** Most games will only ever need one lubricant-producing Chemical Plant and one Storage Tank for the lubricant.
** Since Lubricant is only used for blue belts and electric engines, and the only other use of Heavy Oil is flamethrower ammo (production of which is either best placed in your oil refinery or elided entirely) and cracking into Light Oil (the Heavy Oil to [[Solid fuel]] production ratio is terrible compared to cracking it first), you may want to consider placing your production of robots and belt assembly nearby your oil refineries, so lubricant doesn't need to be sent as far.

=== Items to handle fluids ===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| {{imagelink|pumpjack|Pumpjack}} || Pumpjacks mine the Crude Oil from the [[Oil field|oil fields]], and let you move it by Pipe.
|-
| {{imagelink|oil-refinery|Oil refinery}} || Refines Crude Oil into basic oil products (Heavy/Light Oil and Petroleum Gas).
|-
| {{imagelink|chemical-plant|Chemical plant}} || Like the Assembling machine, used to automate processing of liquids and crafting.
|-
| {{imagelink|storage-tank|Storage Tank}} || Stores up to 25000 units of any liquid.
|-
| {{imagelink|pump|Pump}} || Allows you to pump liquids from one area to another. Used inline (between pipes). Also used to pump fluids into [[fluid wagon]]s.
|-
| {{imagelink|offshore-pump|Offshore pump}} || Allows you to pump water up from a body of water.
|-
| {{imagelink|assembling-machine-2|Assembling machine 2}} {{imagelink|assembling-machine-3|Assembling machine 3}} || Allows you to craft items using liquids, used mainly for Barrels.
|-
| {{imagelink|pipe|Pipe}} || Allows transporting of liquids from one location to another.
|-
| {{imagelink|pipe-to-ground|Pipe to ground}} || A Pipe, but under the ground, acting similar to [[Underground belts]].
|-
| {{imagelink|boiler|Boiler}} || Transforms [[water]] into [[steam]].
|-
| {{imagelink|steam-engine|Steam engine}} || Destroys any fluid it receives. Can be used as a flare stack, a wasteful way to get rid of unused oil-products.
|-
| {{imagelink|fluid_wagon|Fluid wagon}} || Carries up to 75000 units of liquid by rail, in three tanks of 25000 each.

=== Optimal ratio to produce petroleum gas ===
The optimal ratio is the ratio of buildings in which they can all work without jamming or having inactive superfluous. For example, when you apply '''1''' Oil Refinery to the optimal Advanced oil processing ratio [5 : 1 : 7], you get ['''1''' : 0.20 : 1.4]. Round that up to get ['''1''' : 1 : 2], which means:
* 1 Oil Refinery on Advanced oil processing
* 1 Chemical plant on Heavy oil cracking
* 2 Chemical plants on Light oil cracking

The setup above will not jam, but it will have temporarily inactive buildings. If you round down, it will no longer have inactive buildings, but it will jam (over time).

This can be sped up with modules, but to prevent jams or inactive buildings, it is recommended to speed everything up evenly. When slowing down (by using [[Productivity module]]s) you are better off experimenting on altering the ratio or the speed on certain buildings, since these ratios are only mathematically correct if all the buildings have the same speed, and have 100% productivity (so no added bonuses).

Calculating the optimal ratios is relatively challenging, since not all of the durations of the processes are the same (the crafting speed of a chemical plant is 1.25, but the refinery's is 1.0). If this were not taken in account, it will lead to (temporarily) inactive buildings, which is not optimal.

=== Crude oil transport ===
[[File:Pumping_station.jpg|thumb|256px|Autonomus installation for manual pickup of [[Crude oil barrel]]s.]]
Since oil fields practically can deplete, new sources will be demanded. There are many different ways to overcome this problem:
* Pipes/Belts
* Manual pick-up
* Trains
* Robots (Troublesome over long distances)

All liquids can be transported by [[Pipe]]s, only Crude oil can be filled into [[Barrel]]s and moved with the [[Railway network]] or other [[vehicle]]s.

The Crude Oil then needs to be refined in an [[Oil refinery]]. The Oil refinery also needs Power provided by an [[Electric network]]. It has a much higher demand, at 420kW, but it is also upgradeable. The oil refinery needs to have a recipe set (see above for available recipes). Once it is set, the inputs and outputs show what needs to be, and what will be supplied. You cannot move the locations of these, only rotate the entire machine. Make sure that the products have somewhere to go (preferably [[Storage Tank|Storage Tanks]]), as the refinery will stop production of all products if one product output is full.

Now you have the three basic products. [[Heavy Oil]], [[Light Oil]] and [[Petroleum Gas]]. Both Heavy Oil and Light Oil can be cracked to the next lower type in a [[Chemical plant]] (recipe above). This is useful if you've got lots of Light Oil, but are lacking in [[Petroleum Gas]] (A common problem).

From here, after some research, you can use the oil products to create various products. They are all listed above.

=== Tips ===
* [[Lubricant]]
** If you run your Heavy Oil pipe from the refineries past a Lubricant-making Chemical Plant before sending it to the cracking Chemical Plants, you can be sure that the Lubricant production will have priority over cracking.
** Most games will only ever need one lubricant-producing Chemical Plant and one Storage Tank for the lubricant.
** Since Lubricant is only used for blue belts and electric engines, and the only other use of Heavy Oil is flamethrower ammo (production of which is either best placed in your oil refinery or elided entirely) and cracking into Light Oil (the Heavy Oil to [[Solid fuel]] production ratio is terrible compared to cracking it first), you may want to consider placing your production of robots and belt assembly nearby your oil refineries, so lubricant doesn't need to be sent as far.

=== Optimal ratio to produce petroleum gas ===
The optimal ratio is the ratio of buildings in which they can all work without jamming or having inactive superfluous. For example, when you apply '''1''' Oil Refinery to the optimal Advanced oil processing ratio [5 : 1 : 7], you get ['''1''' : 0.20 : 1.4]. Round that up to get ['''1''' : 1 : 2], which means:
* 1 Oil Refinery on Advanced oil processing
* 1 Chemical plant on Heavy oil cracking
* 2 Chemical plants on Light oil cracking

The setup above will not jam, but it will have temporarily inactive buildings. If you round down, it will no longer have inactive buildings, but it will jam (over time).

This can be sped up with modules, but to prevent jams or inactive buildings, it is recommended to speed everything up evenly. When slowing down (by using [[Productivity module]]s) you are better off experimenting on altering the ratio or the speed on certain buildings, since these ratios are only mathematically correct if all the buildings have the same speed, and have 100% productivity (so no added bonuses).

Calculating the optimal ratios is relatively challenging, since not all of the durations of the processes are the same (the crafting speed of a chemical plant is 1.25, but the refinery's is 1.0). If this were not taken in account, it will lead to (temporarily) inactive buildings, which is not optimal.

=== Crude oil transport ===
[[File:Pumping_station.jpg|thumb|256px|Autonomus installation for manual pickup of [[Crude oil barrel]]s.]]
Since oil fields practically can deplete, new sources will be demanded. There are many different ways to overcome this problem:
* Pipes/Belts
* Manual pick-up
* Trains
* Robots (Troublesome over long distances)

Oil processing is a large part of Factorio. It was introduced in v0.9. Oil processing may refer to [[Oil processing (research)|the researched technology\\, the recipe used in the [[oil refinery]], or the overall workings of oil.

The values shown here are accurate for version 0.15. In 0.14, anything that produces, consumes, or stores any fluid does so at 1/10th of the quantities listed here. Solid items and ratios are unaffected; this is essentially just a cosmetic change of the displayed units.

==Mechanics & Usage==
To extract, process and use oil and its connected products, research, as shown above, is needed.

===Overview===
[[File:Example-Oil-Refining.png|thumb|256px|Crude oil being drilled and refined.]] [[File:Example-Oil-Cracking.png|thumb|256px|Oil being cracked into lower forms.]] [[File:Example-Oil-Usage.png|thumb|256px|Oil being used to create plastic and batteries.]]
[[Pumpjack]]s need to be placed on top of the middle of the oil well. Given [[Electric network|electricity]] (90kW, upgradeable), [[Pumpjack]]s will produce a certain amount of [[Crude oil]] per second, shown on the right, at the bottom of the information panel. Over time this value will decrease down to a minimum of 0.1 oil/s, providing infinite oil at a very low rate.

==Mechanics & Usage==
To extract, process and use oil and its connected products, research, as shown above, is needed.

===Overview===
[[File:Example-Oil-Refining.png|thumb|256px|Crude oil being drilled and refined.]] [[File:Example-Oil-Cracking.png|thumb|256px|Oil being cracked into lower forms.]] [[File:Example-Oil-Usage.png|thumb|256px|Oil being used to create plastic and batteries.]]
[[Pumpjack]]s need to be placed on top of the middle of the oil well. Given [[Electric network|electricity]] (90kW, upgradeable), [[Pumpjack]]s will produce a certain amount of [[Crude oil]] per second, shown on the right, at the bottom of the information panel. Over time this value will decrease down to a minimum of 0.1 oil/s, providing infinite oil at a very low rate.

All liquids can be transported by [[Pipe]]s, only Crude oil can be filled into [[Barrel]]s and moved with the [[Railway network]] or other [[vehicle]]s.

The Crude Oil then needs to be refined in an [[Oil refinery]]. The Oil refinery also needs Power provided by an [[Electric network]]. It has a much higher demand, at 420kW, but it is also upgradeable. The oil refinery needs to have a recipe set (see above for available recipes). Once it is set, the inputs and outputs show what needs to be, and what will be supplied. You cannot move the locations of these, only rotate the entire machine. Make sure that the products have somewhere to go (preferably [[Storage Tank|Storage Tanks]]), as the refinery will stop production of all products if one product output is full.

Now you have the three basic products. [[Heavy Oil]], [[Light Oil]] and [[Petroleum Gas]]. Both Heavy Oil and Light Oil can be cracked to the next lower type in a [[Chemical plant]] (recipe above). This is useful if you've got lots of Light Oil, but are lacking in [[Petroleum Gas]] (A common problem).

From here, after some research, you can use the oil products to create various products. They are all listed above.

=== Tips ===
* [[Lubricant]]
** If you run your Heavy Oil pipe from the refineries past a Lubricant-making Chemical Plant before sending it to the cracking Chemical Plants, you can be sure that the Lubricant production will have priority over cracking.
** Most games will only ever need one lubricant-producing Chemical Plant and one Storage Tank for the lubricant.
** Since Lubricant is only used for blue belts and electric engines, and the only other use of Heavy Oil is flamethrower ammo (production of which is either best placed in your oil refinery or elided entirely) and cracking into Light Oil (the Heavy Oil to [[Solid fuel]] production ratio is terrible compared to cracking it first), you may want to consider placing your production of robots and belt assembly nearby your oil refineries, so lubricant doesn't need to be sent as far.

=== Optimal ratio to produce petroleum gas ===
The optimal ratio is the ratio of buildings in which they can all work without jamming or having inactive superfluous. For example, when you apply '''1''' Oil Refinery to the optimal Advanced oil processing ratio [5 : 1 : 7], you get ['''1''' : 0.20 : 1.4]. Round that up to get ['''1''' : 1 : 2], which means:
* 1 Oil Refinery on Advanced oil processing
* 1 Chemical plant on Heavy oil cracking
* 2 Chemical plants on Light oil cracking

The setup above will not jam, but it will have temporarily inactive buildings. If you round down, it will no longer have inactive buildings, but it will jam (over time).

This can be sped up with modules, but to prevent jams or inactive buildings, it is recommended to speed everything up evenly. When slowing down (by using [[Productivity module]]s) you are better off experimenting on altering the ratio or the speed on certain buildings, since these ratios are only mathematically correct if all the buildings have the same speed, and have 100% productivity (so no added bonuses).

Calculating the optimal ratios is relatively challenging, since not all of the durations of the processes are the same (the crafting speed of a chemical plant is 1.25, but the refinery's is 1.0). If this were not taken in account, it will lead to (temporarily) inactive buildings, which is not optimal.

=== Crude oil transport ===
[[File:Pumping_station.jpg|thumb|256px|Autonomus installation for manual pickup of [[Crude oil barrel]]s.]]
Since oil fields practically can deplete, new sources will be demanded. There are many different ways to overcome this problem:
* Pipes/Belts
* Manual pick-up
* Trains
* Robots (Troublesome over long distances)

Oil processing is a large part of Factorio. It was introduced in v0.9. Oil processing may refer to [[Oil processing (research)|the researched technology\\, the recipe used in the [[oil refinery]], or the overall workings of oil.

The values shown here are accurate for version 0.15. In 0.14, anything that produces, consumes, or stores any fluid does so at 1/10th of the quantities listed here. Solid items and ratios are unaffected; this is essentially just a cosmetic change of the displayed units.

=== Optimal ratio to produce petroleum gas ===
The optimal ratio is the ratio of buildings in which they can all work without jamming or having inactive superfluous. For example, when you apply '''1''' Oil Refinery to the optimal Advanced oil processing ratio [5 : 1 : 7], you get ['''1''' : 0.20 : 1.4]. Round that up to get ['''1''' : 1 : 2], which means:
* 1 Oil Refinery on Advanced oil processing
* 1 Chemical plant on Heavy oil cracking
* 2 Chemical plants on Light oil cracking

The setup above will not jam, but it will have temporarily inactive buildings. If you round down, it will no longer have inactive buildings, but it will jam (over time).

This can be sped up with modules, but to prevent jams or inactive buildings, it is recommended to speed everything up evenly. When slowing down (by using [[Productivity module]]s) you are better off experimenting on altering the ratio or the speed on certain buildings, since these ratios are only mathematically correct if all the buildings have the same speed, and have 100% productivity (so no added bonuses).

Calculating the optimal ratios is relatively challenging, since not all of the durations of the processes are the same (the crafting speed of a chemical plant is 1.25, but the refinery's is 1.0). If this were not taken in account, it will lead to (temporarily) inactive buildings, which is not optimal.

=== Crude oil transport ===
[[File:Pumping_station.jpg|thumb|256px|Autonomus installation for manual pickup of [[Crude oil barrel]]s.]]
Since oil fields practically can deplete, new sources will be demanded. There are many different ways to overcome this problem:
* Pipes/Belts
* Manual pick-up
* Trains
* Robots (Troublesome over long distances)

==Mechanics & Usage==
To extract, process and use oil and its connected products, research, as shown above, is needed.

===Overview===
[[File:Example-Oil-Refining.png|thumb|256px|Crude oil being drilled and refined.]] [[File:Example-Oil-Cracking.png|thumb|256px|Oil being cracked into lower forms.]] [[File:Example-Oil-Usage.png|thumb|256px|Oil being used to create plastic and batteries.]]
[[Pumpjack]]s need to be placed on top of the middle of the oil well. Given [[Electric network|electricity]] (90kW, upgradeable), [[Pumpjack]]s will produce a certain amount of [[Crude oil]] per second, shown on the right, at the bottom of the information panel. Over time this value will decrease down to a minimum of 0.1 oil/s, providing infinite oil at a very low rate.

All liquids can be transported by [[Pipe]]s, only Crude oil can be filled into [[Barrel]]s and moved with the [[Railway network]] or other [[vehicle]]s.

The Crude Oil then needs to be refined in an [[Oil refinery]]. The Oil refinery also needs Power provided by an [[Electric network]]. It has a much higher demand, at 420kW, but it is also upgradeable. The oil refinery needs to have a recipe set (see above for available recipes). Once it is set, the inputs and outputs show what needs to be, and what will be supplied. You cannot move the locations of these, only rotate the entire machine. Make sure that the products have somewhere to go (preferably [[Storage Tank|Storage Tanks]]), as the refinery will stop production of all products if one product output is full.

Now you have the three basic products. [[Heavy Oil]], [[Light Oil]] and [[Petroleum Gas]]. Both Heavy Oil and Light Oil can be cracked to the next lower type in a [[Chemical plant]] (recipe above). This is useful if you've got lots of Light Oil, but are lacking in [[Petroleum Gas]] (A common problem).

From here, after some research, you can use the oil products to create various products. They are all listed above.

=== Tips ===
* [[Lubricant]]
** If you run your Heavy Oil pipe from the refineries past a Lubricant-making Chemical Plant before sending it to the cracking Chemical Plants, you can be sure that the Lubricant production will have priority over cracking.
** Most games will only ever need one lubricant-producing Chemical Plant and one Storage Tank for the lubricant.
** Since Lubricant is only used for blue belts and electric engines, and the only other use of Heavy Oil is flamethrower ammo (production of which is either best placed in your oil refinery or elided entirely) and cracking into Light Oil (the Heavy Oil to [[Solid fuel]] production ratio is terrible compared to cracking it first), you may want to consider placing your production of robots and belt assembly nearby your oil refineries, so lubricant doesn't need to be sent as far.

=== Items to handle fluids ===

=== Optimal ratio to produce petroleum gas ===
The optimal ratio is the ratio of buildings in which they can all work without jamming or having inactive superfluous. For example, when you apply '''1''' Oil Refinery to the optimal Advanced oil processing ratio [5 : 1 : 7], you get ['''1''' : 0.20 : 1.4]. Round that up to get ['''1''' : 1 : 2], which means:
* 1 Oil Refinery on Advanced oil processing
* 1 Chemical plant on Heavy oil cracking
* 2 Chemical plants on Light oil cracking

The setup above will not jam, but it will have temporarily inactive buildings. If you round down, it will no longer have inactive buildings, but it will jam (over time).

This can be sped up with modules, but to prevent jams or inactive buildings, it is recommended to speed everything up evenly. When slowing down (by using [[Productivity module]]s) you are better off experimenting on altering the ratio or the speed on certain buildings, since these ratios are only mathematically correct if all the buildings have the same speed, and have 100% productivity (so no added bonuses).

Calculating the optimal ratios is relatively challenging, since not all of the durations of the processes are the same (the crafting speed of a chemical plant is 1.25, but the refinery's is 1.0). If this were not taken in account, it will lead to (temporarily) inactive buildings, which is not optimal.

I'm thinking of updating the Oil Processing page to reflect to 10x change in 0.15, and I'm a little unclear on the update policy. It says "For major changes to existing entities, update the pages to 0.15 info and move the 0.14 info to a small paragraph", which sounds like I should go ahead and do it; but also "As of stable release, fully update the page's text and exact values," which implies that I shouldn't update the values until the stable release.

==Split off?==
The page has random footers purely because it just draws text for each of its sections from the original page. If someone were so inclined, all they'd have to do is manually copy the original pages without the footers, but they'd have to do that for every section. --[[User:Megawatt Pusher|Megawatt Pusher]]([[User talk:Megawatt Pusher|talk]]) 16:43, 25 May 2016 (EST)

This page looks like an automated collection of many articles. Half of the things I was hoping to find an article detailing are in detail here in this rather long list. (with redundant footers) Is this the result of a past migration or something? Should I hold off on the various disambigs, redirects, and categories I was thinking of making? (specifically in the area of modules/armor modules) --[[User:Tyroney|Tyroney]] ([[User talk:Tyroney|talk]]) 22:54, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Honestly I say PLEASE make changes to this page. Don't delete or remove it's core purpose but it has become a jumbled mess and needs some Major revision. I was going to do the work myself but i haven't gotten around to it so by all means chop away. I don't feel like there needs to be a bunch of added pages but a lot of the info can be removed or linked from other pages --[[User:ACryInShame|ACryInShame]] ([[User talk:ACryInShame|talk]]) 8:29, 11 March 2016 (EST)

Phasma Felis: Corrected "player" to "character" in my own recent edit.

{{Languages}}

[[File:Player icon.png|right]]

Factorio is played from the angled top down perspective of the ''player''.

The ''physical representation'' of the player is the ''character'', who is always at the center of view. In multiplayer, player characters will appear in different colors. Color can be set manually with the <code>/color</code> command, see [[Console]].

The character is '''part of the player''' and represents the physical existence of the player in the game-world. In technical terms: A character is just one property of the [[player]], and it is the only that can be controlled at a time.

The character's maximum [[Damage|health]] is 100 (without energy shields).

== Distinction between Player and Character ==

[[File:Player-running.gif|thumb|right|The player (aka the ''character'') running.]]

Technically the player is only the "player-view". The player is unlike the ''character'', (the little person that runs around on the ground) The character is part of the player, but the player is not just the character.

You can for example play in god-mode (such as in the sandbox game mode). In that mode you don't have a character, only a player.

In other words, the Player is a term that encompasses both the internal code that defines a player, and the entity in game that interacts with machines/rocks/trees, which is the ''character''. While this distinction is important for modding and understanding the game's core, the terms can be used interchangeably for most conversations. For the purpose of this article, player will be used.

== World Interaction ==
The player has five primary ways of interacting with the world:

# Crafting [[Item|items]] and [[Items#Placeable_items|entities]] personally from resources using the craft menu (Default open key: E)
# Placing entities by selecting them from the inventory or toolbar and placing them on a [[tile]] (Default: Left Mouse Button)
## Opening contextual menus for entities like [[Assembling machine|Assembly Machines]] or [[Chests]], using the same button
## Removing an entity from the world, returning it to your inventory (Default: '''Hold''' Right Mouse Button)
# Harvesting [[Item#Resources|resources]] from a tile (Default: '''Hold''' RMB)
# Picking up non-placed [[Items]] from the ground and placing them in your inventory (Default: Hold/press F)
# Firing weapons at enemies (Default: Press or hold Spacebar depending on weapon)

''For more key-bindings, see [[Keyboard bindings]]''

Note: The player can do that only, if his character owns the abilities for this. For example: He cannot fire a weapon, cause he has no weapons-slots.

== Equipment ==

Equipment are items used to speed up entity/resource collection, kill [[enemies]], protect the player's health, etc. All equipment except for weapons and capsules have durability, and will break after enough uses. Examples of equipment and the equipment inventory are discussed below.

Removing or harvesting machines, entities, or resources from the world requires effort and this is implemented by way of a progress bar that needs to fill uninterrupted in order to complete and pick up the object. Starting without a pickaxe, it will take around two seconds to cut down a single tree. Since this is the sort of action required thousands of times over the course of a game, ''it is heavily recommended to craft an [[iron axe]] as the first action the player takes in the game''.

A full list of all tools in the game:

* [[Iron axe]]
* [[Steel axe]]
* [[Repair pack]]
* [[Basic electric discharge defense remote]]

=== Weapons ===
Eventually, whether in a peaceful game or not, one will need the capability to destroy the various [[Enemies]] that live in the world.

This capability mostly comes in the form of [[Turrets]] for base defense, but for the player there are two broad categories, more traditional weapons and capsules; discussed below. To fire the main equip-able weapons, the weapon must be in one of the weapon slots. (see above)

If all the preparation is done, fire the weapon with the target enemy key (Default: Spacebar) or the target cursor key (Default: C). Target enemy is a ''safe'' auto-aim that will snap to any enemy in range and begin firing at it for as long as the key is held down. A green target reticle will be shown below the enemy when in range, red when not.

Target cursor will fire your weapon in the direction of your cursor, which is mainly used to clear obstacles such as [[Tree]]s and rocks that block placing things. Bear in mind that damage is calculated as a combination of weapon, ammunition and technology together. Target cursor is capable of shooting anything with health, so be careful when near important buildings. In late game, player gunfire can nearly instantly destroy some buildings.

Each player starts with a simple [[Pistol]] and ten magazines of [[Firearm magazine|basic ammo]], which will fend off the first few biter attacks, but will quickly be insufficient against the growing alien forces.

A list of all traditional weapons in the game:

* [[Pistol]]
* [[Submachine gun]]
* [[Shotgun]]
* [[Combat shotgun]]
* [[Rocket launcher]]
* [[Flamethrower]]

=== Capsules ===
Capsules are consumable weapons systems, they are picked up from the inventory and thrown somewhere in the game world to spawn their effect at that position. Early in the game, these take the form of instant effect grenades that detonate upon reaching the location they were thrown to.

A list of all throw-able capsules in the game:

* [[Basic grenade]]
* [[Cluster grenade]]
* [[Poison capsule]]
* [[Slowdown capsule]]

=== Combat Robot Capsules ===
With the mid-game comes access to combat robot capsules, which are deployed the exact same way as previous capsules, however they deploy different forms of hovering robots, with various behaviors and types of attacks/movement. The amount of robots that can be out at one time is limited by the [[Follower robot count (research)|Robot follower count research]].

A list of all robot capsules in the game:

* [[Defender capsule]]
* [[Distractor capsule]]
* [[Destroyer capsule]]

=== Armor ===
Once the player has faced the first proper attack, they will quickly come to learn how much damage they can handle, not much at all. Equipping a decent set of armor is therefore a priority. There are two subcategories of armor in the game, however early in the game the player will only have access to simple basic armor.

A list of all armors in the game:

* [[Light armor]]
* [[Heavy armor]]
* [[Basic modular armor]]
* [[Power armor]]
* [[Power armor MK2]]

=== Armor Modules ===
Once the player has crafted any modular armor they gain access to various general purpose enhancements, which can be freely added or removed from any modular armor. While all of them are capable of fitting in even the [[Basic modular armor]] individually, their usefulness greatly depends on player choice; i.e. there are no specific best modules or best arrangement of modules.

A list of all armor modules in the game:

* [[Basic exoskeleton equipment]]
* [[Battery MK1]]
* [[Battery MK2]]
* [[Portable solar panel]]
* [[Portable fusion reactor]]
* [[Energy shield]]
* [[Energy shield MK2]]
* [[Night vision]]
* [[Personal laser defense]]
* [[Discharge defense]]

Phasma Felis: /* Overview */

{{Languages}}

== Overview ==

In Factorio, entities have health, can die/be destroyed, and have resistances. ''Damage'' is defined as the concept of lowering an entity's health by using an attack, such as a gun firing at it, or a biter chewing on it. An entity's resistances will define exactly how much damage the entity will take off of an arbitrary attack.

The [[player|character]]'s maximum health is 100 (without [[energy shield]]s). Other entities' health values are listed in their individual entries.

== Achievements ==
{{Main|Achievements}}
The concept of damage is directly connected to the following achievements:
* Golem
Take 500 damage in one hit and survive.

* Pyromaniac

Destroy 10k trees with fire.
* Run Forrest run

Destroy 100 trees by impact.
* Steamrolled

Destroy 10 spawners by impact.
* Watch your step

Get killed by a moving [[Diesel locomotive|locomotive]].

|}
== Resistance ==
Resistance has two aspects:
* Percentile resistance
Percentile resistance is ''applied first'' and will just reduce the damage by the specified percent. If the percentage is 100%, the entity is immune to the damage. As an example, an entity having 25% resistance to 100 bullet damage would take 75 damage instead.

* Decrease, or "flat" resistance
Decrease resistance decreases the damage by specified number as long as the result damage wouldn't be less than zero. If the result damage would be less than 0, the extra resistance is used as denominator in the fraction of damage that is going to be dealt.

=== Display of resistances ===

In Factorio, resistances are displayed as such:

Decrease resistance/Percent resistance

So, an entity displaying 10/20% resistance to fire means that that entity has 10 flat resistance and 20% percentile resistance to fire. So, if said entity were to take 30 fire damage, they would instead take 14 damage, after resistances were applied.

== Formulas ==

=== Decrease < Damage ===
Result damage = (Damage - Decrease) * (1 - Percentage)
=== Decrease >= Damage ===
Result damage = 1 / (2 + Decrease - Damage) * (1 - Percentage)

An example table of different resistances and what the result damage would be:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Damage !! Resistance !! Result damage (0% damage loss)

| 5 || 0 || 5

| 5 || 1 || 4

Player

Phasma Felis:

{{Languages}}

[[File:Player icon.png|right]]

Factorio is played from the angled top down perspective of the ''player''.

The ''physical representation'' of the player is the ''character'', who is always at the center of view. In multiplayer, player characters will appear in different colors. Color can be set manually with the <code>/color</code> command, see [[Console]].

The character is '''part of the player''' and represents the physical existence of the player in the game-world. In technical terms: A character is just one property of the [[player]], and it is the only that can be controlled at a time.

The player's maximum [[Damage|health]] is 100 (without energy shields).

== Distinction between Player and Character ==

[[File:Player-running.gif|thumb|right|The player (aka the ''character'') running.]]

Technically the player is only the "player-view". The player is unlike the ''character'', (the little person that runs around on the ground) The character is part of the player, but the player is not just the character.

You can for example play in god-mode (such as in the sandbox game mode). In that mode you don't have a character, only a player.

In other words, the Player is a term that encompasses both the internal code that defines a player, and the entity in game that interacts with machines/rocks/trees, which is the ''character''. While this distinction is important for modding and understanding the game's core, the terms can be used interchangeably for most conversations. For the purpose of this article, player will be used.

== World Interaction ==
The player has five primary ways of interacting with the world:

# Crafting [[Item|items]] and [[Items#Placeable_items|entities]] personally from resources using the craft menu (Default open key: E)
# Placing entities by selecting them from the inventory or toolbar and placing them on a [[tile]] (Default: Left Mouse Button)
## Opening contextual menus for entities like [[Assembling machine|Assembly Machines]] or [[Chests]], using the same button
## Removing an entity from the world, returning it to your inventory (Default: '''Hold''' Right Mouse Button)
# Harvesting [[Item#Resources|resources]] from a tile (Default: '''Hold''' RMB)
# Picking up non-placed [[Items]] from the ground and placing them in your inventory (Default: Hold/press F)
# Firing weapons at enemies (Default: Press or hold Spacebar depending on weapon)

''For more key-bindings, see [[Keyboard bindings]]''

Note: The player can do that only, if his character owns the abilities for this. For example: He cannot fire a weapon, cause he has no weapons-slots.

== Equipment ==

Equipment are items used to speed up entity/resource collection, kill [[enemies]], protect the player's health, etc. All equipment except for weapons and capsules have durability, and will break after enough uses. Examples of equipment and the equipment inventory are discussed below.
