Tercicatrix: Refute claim that the linked FFF doesn't mention Aquilo & the floating jellyfish monster

== Removed unsupported claim from Trivia section ==
Removed the following from the "Trivia" section as the linked FFFs do not support the claims. The first link merely has an image of a jellyfish-like creature. The second doesn't mention Aquilo at all.
:During development, Aquilo was planned to be home to floating, jellyfish-like enemies, concept art for which were shown in Friday Facts [https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-367 #367]. However, they were not implemented due to them making progression "much slower". [https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-429] --[[User:Gotube|Gotube]] ([[User talk:Gotube|talk]]) 06:53, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

But the linked FFF does mention Aquilo (as The freezing planet), look under the section labeled '''Prototyping''':
"The freezing planet had flying enemies and among them were the jelly-like enemy from FFF-367, however since then these enemies have been dropped from the game. The last planet has a delicate mix of challenges and although we found a way to add enemies to the mix in an interesting way, it would make progression much slower. It might be better as a mod.

{{About/Space age}}
[[File:aquilo_preview.png|210px|right]]'''Aquilo''' is a desolate, freezing ocean planet. Its surface consists solely of a vast ocean of liquid ammonia, with the occasional floating iceberg.

Progression wise, Aquilo is meant to be visited after establishing factories on all the previous planets. [[Planet discovery Aquilo (research)]] requires [[rocket turret]]s, [[Advanced asteroid processing (research)]], and [[heating tower]]s from Gleba, [[Asteroid reprocessing (research)]] from [[Vulcanus]], and [[Electromagnetic science pack (research)]] from [[Fulgora]].

[[Planet discovery Aquilo (research)]] is required to travel to the planet.

=== Natural resources ===
In terms of directly exploitable natural resources, Aquilo has:
* [[Ammoniacal solution]]{{SA}} (via [[offshore pump]] on the edge of the ammoniacal seas)
* [[Lithium brine]]{{SA}} (via [[pumpjack]])
* [[Fluorine]]{{SA}} (via pumpjack)
* [[Crude oil]] (via pumpjack)

With crude oil being the only non-exclusive resource to Aquilo, excluding ice obtained from [[lithium ice formation]].

Stone, iron and copper (and coal if desired) need to be imported from other planets as Aquilo lacks ways to obtain these from the environment.

== Access to basic resources ==

* [[Water]] can be obtained via [[Ammoniacal solution separation]] and [[Ice melting]]
* [[Stone]] is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* [[Iron ore]] is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* [[Copper ore]] is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* [[Coal]] is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* [[Crude oil]] can be obtained using pumpjacks as normal

== Mechanics ==

The starting area on Aquilo is a relatively small patch of snow and ice terrain. Beyond this small platform are the vast ammoniacal seas, which have small dots of icey terrain in them, usually around [[crude_oil|crude oil]], [[fluorine]]{{SA}}, or [[lithium_brine|lithium brine]]{{SA}} resource geysers. Aquilo is notable for having nothing to drill with any kind of miner . All natural resources, spare the [[lithium ice formation]]s, are gathered either by an [[offshore pump]] or [[pumpjack]]. Bases on Aquilo will be reliant on regularly shipping in resources from other planets.

=== Ice terrain ===

On Aquilo, most terrain must be constructed, but [[landfill]] and [[foundation]]{{SA}} are no help. Instead, you must use [[ice platform|ice platforms]]{{SA}}. These platforms are created by first using [[ammoniacal solution separation]]{{SA}} to make [[ice]]{{SA}} and [[ammonia]]{{SA}}, then re-combining those into a platform that can be placed on the ocean like [[landfill]].

Snowy terrain can be built on directly, but on any kind of ice terrain or [[ice platform]], most buildings will require an insulating floor of [[concrete]] tiles or derivatives before they can be placed. [[Stone_brick|Stone Bricks]] can not be used to pave ice. Despite the flavor text stating that ice platforms "Will melt if exposed to heat", they do not actually melt.

=== Freezing ===
Aquilo is brutally cold. The harsh ambient temperatures drain the energy from any airborne [[construction robot|construction robots]] and [[logistic robot|logistic robots]], making them consume 5 times more power than normal. And most buildings will freeze and stop working unless heated by a [[heat pipe]] or heat generator. Heat can be generated by the [[nuclear reactor]] or [[heating tower]]{{SA}}.

Once a building is adjacent to a heat source above 29°C (30.01°C or higher), it will consume heat energy to maintain its state, reducing the energy (and temperature) in the heat source. Different entities consume different amounts of heat to prevent freezing. Note that underground belts and pipes are substantially larger heat drains than their above-ground versions. Also, heat pipes do not lose heat to the environment; they only lose heat to entities that need to be kept warm.

For details on heat throughput, see the [[heat pipe]] page.

A building is adjacent to a heat source when it is one tile away from the heat source either orthogonally or diagonally. All of the [[pipe|pipes]] would be heated in the below example:

=== Solar energy ===
Aquilo is far from the sun, and so [[solar panel]]s on its surface only output at 1% of their rate on Nauvis: 0.6 kW peak production. This makes panels practical for little more than powering a handful of [[inserter]]s to jump start heat production.

==Space routes==
[[Aquilo]] is connected to 2 other planets, [[Gleba]]{{SA}} and [[Fulgora]]{{SA}}, along with the [[Solar system edge]]{{SA}}

Tercicatrix: First pass at prettifying lightning priorities into a table with icons

{{Languages}}
{{Stub}}
{{About/Space age}}
[[file:fulgora_preview.png|210px|right]]'''Fulgora''' is a new barren desert planet. Its surface is split between island-like plateaus, and deep oilsands. During the night, the planet is ravaged by lightning storms, damaging buildings.

[[Planet discovery Fulgora (research)]] is required to travel to the planet.

|}

== Biomes ==
Fulgora is split between two distinct biomes.
* '''Plateaus''' are islands dotted around the landscape. They are the only biome where factories can be built. Some plateaus are home to [[fulgoran ruin|alien ruins]], which have [[fulgoran lightning attractor]]s, which can protect your buildings until unlocking your own [[lightning rod]]s. Other plateaus hold [[scrap]], Fulgora's sole resource.
* '''Oilsands''' are the lowlands between the plateaus. No buildings can be built in them except for [[rail support]]s. You can walk through them, but occasional oilpatches will slow you to a crawl. An [[offshore pump]] can be placed on the edge of oilsands to produce an unlimited amount of [[heavy oil]]. 

=== Terrain ===
Fulgoran terrain is mainly composed of oillands, on which nothing except for [[rail support]]s can be built. Traversal by foot across the oillands is possible, but slow. The oillands are further divided into deep and shallow areas, with deep areas slowing down player movement even further and not even allowing for rail supports to be built until [[rail support foundations (research)]] is researched.

However, the oillands are also scattered with islands of various sizes, on which normal construction is possible. At first, these are the only place on Fulgora where factories can be built, as [[foundation]] for building on top of the oillands requires research that can not be performed until much later.

The islands come in three size classes:
* Small islands with high amounts of resources, but with little room to build on
* Medium islands with lower amounts of resources, and with sufficient room for a small factory
* Large islands with no resources, but with enough room to build the main part of a medium-sized factory

It is possible for two or more islands to overlap, potentially creating an even larger island that does have local resources. However, most islands are detached, meaning that transport between islands will have to occur by train. In many cases, the distance between two islands is also too vast for [[roboport]]s or [[big electric pole]]s to reach, thus requiring local [[logistic network|logistic]] and [[electric system|electric networks]] to be built, as neither roboports nor power poles can be built on the oillands without [[foundation]].

Islands are also scattered with [[fulgorite]], [[fulgoran lightning attractor]]s, [[fulgoran ruin]]s and [[fulgoran vault ruin]]s, allowing players without the [[recycler]] to get access to basic resources.

== Mechanics ==
=== Lightning ===
During [[time|nighttime]], dense thunderstorms occur on Fulgora, with frequent lightning strikes occurring across the surface. Lightning will strike each [[chunk]] once, every 10 seconds or so ( lightnings_per_chunk_per_tick = 1 / (60 * 10), --cca once per chunk every 10 seconds (600 ticks) )

If a lightning strike is set to occur near a [[lightning rod]], [[lightning collector]], or [[fulgoran lightning attractor]], then the lightning will always hit said entity, rendering the lightning harmless. However, if such an entity can not be found, the lightning will strike where it occurs, causing damage to nearby entities.

Lightning will prefer striking the entity with the highest priority, choosing randomly between entities tied for highest priority.

=== Lightning rods and collectors ===

[[Lightning rod]]s and [[lightning collector]]s serve a secondary function beyond protecting an area from lightning strikes. They convert lightning into stored power, which [[Power production#Lightning power|they quickly discharge]] into the local [[electric system]]. With enough [[accumulator]]s to last during daytime or between lightning strikes, this can serve as the factory's main power source.

With this, lightning on Fulgora become both a curse and a blessing: Players must keep their factory covered by lightning rods or collectors to avoid damage, and nighttime exploration becomes dangerous and risky. However, to an established base, lightning become a convenient source of electric energy, which is especially important given the weak [[solar panel|solar output]] on Fulgora's surface and the difficulty of setting up a global electric network on Fulgora before [[foundation]] becomes available.

=== Natural resources ===
Aside from numerous items that can be collected by mining ancient ruins, only two "natural" resources occur on Fulgora, those being [[heavy oil]] and [[scrap]].

Heavy oil can be obtained in infinite and non-diminishing amounts by placing an [[offshore pump]] on the shore of an island, allowing it to collect heavy oil directly from the oillands.

Scrap is found in deposits on small and medium sized islands, as if it were an ore. However, in stark contrast to most other natural resources, scrap is not directly processed into a single basic resource like [[iron plate|iron]] or [[copper plate]]s using traditional production methods. Rather, it is [[recycler|recycled]] to produce a variety of items: 
* [[Ice]]
* [[Stone]]
* [[Holmium ore]]
* [[Concrete]]
* [[Solid fuel]]
* [[Steel plate]]
* [[Copper cable]]
* [[Iron gear wheel]]
* [[Battery]]
* [[Advanced circuit]]
* [[Processing unit]]
* [[Low density structure]]

Since this list includes intermediate products, such as [[processing unit]]s, but no iron or copper plates, players are often forced to further recycle many of these items in order to obtain their ingredients. Players are thus left with the decision of what items to recycle, all while having to avoid cluttering their belts with unused resources. 

== Access to basic resources ==

* [[Water]] can be obtained from [[Ice]] (from recycling [[Scrap]]) via [[Ice melting]]
* [[Stone]] can be obtained by recycling [[Scrap]]
* [[Iron ore]] can be obtained by recycling [[Concrete]]
* [[Iron plate]] can be obtained by recycling [[Iron gear wheel]], [[Battery]], or [[Electronic circuit]]
* [[Copper plate]] can be obtained by recycling [[Copper cable]], [[Battery]], or [[Low density structure]]
* [[Coal]] cannot be obtained and must be shipped in from other planets. However:
** [[Plastic bar]] can be obtained by recycling [[Advanced circuit]] or [[Low density structure]]
** There are no [[enemies]] on-planet, so [[Explosive]]-based ammunition or [[grenade]]s are not needed
* [[Crude oil]] is not available, but [[Heavy oil]] is readily available using [[offshore pump]]s
* [[Copper ore]] is not available as the only recipe it is used in is copper plates and smelting processes cannot be reversed

==Space routes==
[[Fulgora]] is connected to 3 other planets: [[Nauvis]], [[Gleba]], and [[Aquilo]].

[[File:aquilo_preview.png|210px|right]]'''Aquilo''' is a desolate, freezing ocean planet. Its surface consists solely of a vast ocean of liquid ammonia, with the occasional floating iceberg.

Progression wise, Aquilo is meant to be visited after establishing factories on all the previous planets. [[Planet discovery Aquilo (research)]] requires [[rocket turret]]s, [[Advanced asteroid processing (research)]], and [[heating tower]]s from Gleba, [[Asteroid reprocessing (research)]] from [[Vulcanus]], and [[Electromagnetic science pack (research)]] from [[Fulgora]].

[[Planet discovery Aquilo (research)]] is required to travel to the planet.

=== Natural resources ===
In terms of directly exploitable natural resources, Aquilo has:
* [[Ammoniacal solution]]{{SA}} (via [[offshore pump]] on the edge of the ammoniacal seas)
* [[Lithium brine]]{{SA}} (via [[pumpjack]])
* [[Fluorine]]{{SA}} (via pumpjack)
* [[Crude oil]] (via pumpjack)

With crude oil being the only non-exclusive resource to Aquilo, excluding ice obtained from [[lithium ice formation]].

Stone, iron and copper (and coal if desired) need to be imported from other planets as Aquilo lacks ways to obtain these from the environment.

== Access to basic resources ==

* [[Water]] can be obtained via [[Ammoniacal solution separation]] and [[Ice melting]]
* [[Stone]] is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* [[Iron ore]] is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* [[Copper ore]] is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* [[Coal]] is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* [[Crude oil]] can be obtained using pumpjacks as normal

== Mechanics ==

The starting area on Aquilo is a relatively small patch of snow and ice terrain. Beyond this small platform are the vast ammoniacal seas, which have small dots of icey terrain in them, usually around [[crude_oil|crude oil]], [[fluorine]]{{SA}}, or [[lithium_brine|lithium brine]]{{SA}} resource geysers. Aquilo is notable for having nothing to drill with any kind of miner . All natural resources, spare the [[lithium ice formation]]s, are gathered either by an [[offshore pump]] or [[pumpjack]]. Bases on Aquilo will be reliant on regularly shipping in resources from other planets.

=== Ice terrain ===

On Aquilo, most terrain must be constructed, but [[landfill]] and [[foundation]]{{SA}} are no help. Instead, you must use [[ice platform|ice platforms]]{{SA}}. These platforms are created by first using [[ammoniacal solution separation]]{{SA}} to make [[ice]]{{SA}} and [[ammonia]]{{SA}}, then re-combining those into a platform that can be placed on the ocean like [[landfill]].

Snowy terrain can be built on directly, but on any kind of ice terrain or [[ice platform]], most buildings will require an insulating floor of [[concrete]] tiles or derivatives before they can be placed. [[Stone_brick|Stone Bricks]] can not be used to pave ice. Despite the flavor text stating that ice platforms "Will melt if exposed to heat", they do not actually melt.

=== Freezing ===
Aquilo is brutally cold. The harsh ambient temperatures drain the energy from any airborne [[construction robot|construction robots]] and [[logistic robot|logistic robots]], making them consume 5 times more power than normal. And most buildings will freeze and stop working unless heated by a [[heat pipe]] or heat generator. Heat can be generated by the [[nuclear reactor]] or [[heating tower]]{{SA}}.

Once a building is adjacent to a heat source above 29°C (30.01°C or higher), it will consume heat energy to maintain its state, reducing the energy (and temperature) in the heat source. Different entities consume different amounts of heat to prevent freezing. Note that underground belts and pipes are substantially larger heat drains than their above-ground versions. Also, heat pipes do not lose heat to the environment; they only lose heat to entities that need to be kept warm.

For details on heat throughput, see the [[heat pipe]] page.

A building is adjacent to a heat source when it is one tile away from the heat source either orthogonally or diagonally. All of the [[pipe|pipes]] would be heated in the below example:

=== Solar energy ===

[[File:aquilo_preview.png|210px|right]]'''Aquilo''' is a desolate, freezing ocean planet. Its surface consists solely of a vast ocean of liquid ammonia, with the occasional floating iceberg.

Progression wise, Aquilo is meant to be visited after establishing factories on all the previous planets. [[Planet discovery Aquilo (research)]] requires [[rocket turret]]s, [[Advanced asteroid processing (research)]], and [[heating tower]]s from Gleba, [[Asteroid reprocessing (research)]] from [[Vulcanus]], and [[Electromagnetic science pack (research)]] from [[Fulgora]].

[[Planet discovery Aquilo (research)]] is required to travel to the planet.

=== Natural resources ===
In terms of directly exploitable natural resources, Aquilo has:
* [[Ammoniacal solution]]{{SA}} (via [[offshore pump]] on the edge of the ammoniacal seas)
* [[Lithium brine]]{{SA}} (via [[pumpjack]])
* [[Fluorine]]{{SA}} (via pumpjack)
* [[Crude oil]] (via pumpjack)

With crude oil being the only non-exclusive resource to Aquilo, excluding ice obtained from [[lithium ice formation]].

Stone, iron and copper (and coal if desired) need to be imported from other planets as Aquilo lacks ways to obtain these from the environment.

== Access to basic resources ==

* [[Water]] can be obtained via [[Ammoniacal solution separation]] and [[Ice melting]]
* [[Stone]] is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* [[Iron ore]] is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* [[Copper ore]] is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* [[Coal]] is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* [[Crude oil]] can be obtained using pumpjacks as normal

== Mechanics ==

The starting area on Aquilo is a relatively small patch of snow and ice terrain. Beyond this small platform are the vast ammoniacal seas, which have small dots of icey terrain in them, usually around [[crude_oil|crude oil]], [[fluorine]]{{SA}}, or [[lithium_brine|lithium brine]]{{SA}} resource geysers. Aquilo is notable for having nothing to drill with any kind of miner . All natural resources, spare the [[lithium ice formation]]s, are gathered either by an [[offshore pump]] or [[pumpjack]]. Bases on Aquilo will be reliant on regularly shipping in resources from other planets.

=== Ice terrain ===

On Aquilo, most terrain must be constructed, but [[landfill]] and [[foundation]]{{SA}} are no help. Instead, you must use [[ice platform|ice platforms]]{{SA}}. These platforms are created by first using [[ammoniacal solution separation]]{{SA}} to make [[ice]]{{SA}} and [[ammonia]]{{SA}}, then re-combining those into a platform that can be placed on the ocean like [[landfill]].

Snowy terrain can be built on directly, but on any kind of ice terrain or [[ice platform]], most buildings will require an insulating floor of [[concrete]] tiles or derivatives before they can be placed. [[Stone_brick|Stone Bricks]] can not be used to pave ice. Despite the flavor text stating that ice platforms "Will melt if exposed to heat", they do not actually melt.

=== Freezing ===
Aquilo is brutally cold. The harsh ambient temperatures drain the energy from any airborne [[construction robot|construction robots]] and [[logistic robot|logistic robots]], making them consume 5 times more power than normal. And most buildings will freeze and stop working unless heated by a [[heat pipe]] or heat generator. Heat can be generated by the [[nuclear reactor]] or [[heating tower]]{{SA}}.

Once a building is adjacent to a heat source above 29°C (30.01°C or higher), it will consume heat energy to maintain its state, reducing the energy (and temperature) in the heat source. Different entities consume different amounts of heat to prevent freezing. Note that underground belts and pipes are substantially larger heat drains than their above-ground versions. Also, heat pipes do not lose heat to the environment; they only lose heat to entities that need to be kept warm.

For details on heat throughput, see the [[heat pipe]] page.

A building is adjacent to a heat source when it is one tile away from the heat source either orthogonally or diagonally. All of the [[pipe|pipes]] would be heated in the below example:

=== Solar energy ===
Aquilo is far from the sun, and so [[solar panel]]s on its surface only output at 1% of their rate on Nauvis: 0.6 kW peak production. This makes panels practical for little more than powering a handful of [[inserter]]s to jump start heat production.

=== Natural resources ===
In terms of directly exploitable natural resources, Aquilo has:
* [[Ammoniacal solution]]{{SA}} (via [[offshore pump]] on the edge of the ammoniacal seas)
* [[Lithium brine]]{{SA}} (via [[pumpjack]])
* [[Fluorine]]{{SA}} (via pumpjack)
* [[Crude oil]] (via pumpjack)

With crude oil being the only non-exclusive resource to Aquilo, excluding ice obtained from [[lithium ice formation]].

Stone, iron and copper (and coal if desired) need to be imported from other planets as Aquilo lacks ways to obtain these from the environment.

== Access to basic resources ==

* [[Water]] can be obtained via [[Ammoniacal solution separation]] and [[Ice melting]]
* [[Stone]] is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* [[Iron ore]] is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* [[Copper ore]] is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* [[Coal]] is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* [[Crude oil]] can be obtained using pumpjacks as normal

== Mechanics ==

The starting area on Aquilo is a relatively small patch of snow and ice terrain. Beyond this small platform are the vast ammoniacal seas, which have small dots of icey terrain in them, usually around [[crude_oil|crude oil]], [[fluorine]]{{SA}}, or [[lithium_brine|lithium brine]]{{SA}} resource geysers. Aquilo is notable for having nothing to drill with any kind of miner [[File:Burner_mining_drill.png|18px|link=Burner_mining_drill]][[File:Electric_mining_drill.png|18px|link=Electric_mining_drill]][[File:Big_mining_drill.png|18px|link=Big_mining_drill]]. All natural resources, spare the [[lithium ice formation]]s, are gathered either by an [[offshore pump]] or [[pumpjack]]. Bases on Aquilo will be reliant on regularly shipping in resources from other planets.

=== Ice Terrain ===

On Aquilo, most terrain must be constructed, but [[landfill]] and [[foundation]]{{SA}} are no help. Instead, you must use [[ice platform|ice platforms]]{{SA}}. These platforms are created by first using [[ammoniacal solution separation]]{{SA}} to make [[ice]]{{SA}} and [[ammonia]]{{SA}}, then re-combining those into a platform that can be placed on the ocean like [[landfill]].

Snowy terrain can be built on directly, but on any kind of ice terrain or [[ice platform]], most buildings will require an insulating floor of [[concrete]] tiles or derivatives [[File:Concrete.png|18px|link=concrete]][[File:Hazard_concrete.png|18px|link=Hazard_concrete]][[File:Refined_hazard_concrete.png|18px|link=Refined_hazard_concrete]][[File:Refined_concrete.png|18px|link=Refined_concrete]] before they can be placed. [[Stone_brick|Stone Bricks]] can not be used to pave ice. Despite the flavor text stating that ice platforms "Will melt if exposed to heat", they do not actually melt.

=== Freezing ===
Aquilo is brutally cold. The harsh ambient temperatures drain the energy from any airborne [[construction robot|construction robots]] and [[logistic robot|logistic robots]], making them consume 5 times more power than normal. And most buildings will [[File:Frozen-icon.png|18px]] freeze and stop working unless heated by a [[heat pipe]] or heat generator. Heat can be generated by the [[nuclear reactor]] or [[heating tower]]{{SA}}.

Once a building is adjacent to a heat source above 29°C (30.01°C or higher), it will consume heat energy to maintain its state, reducing the energy (and temperature) in the heat source. Different entities consume different amounts of heat to prevent freezing. Note that underground belts and pipes are substantially larger heat drains than their above-ground versions. Also, heat pipes do not lose heat to the environment; they only lose heat to entities that need to be kept warm.

For details on heat throughput, see the [[heat pipe]] page.

A building is adjacent to a heat source when it is one tile away from the heat source either orthogonally or diagonally. All of the [[pipe|pipes]] would be heated in the below example:

=== Solar Energy ===
Aquilo is far from the sun, and so [[solar panel]]s on its surface only output at 1% of their rate on Nauvis: 0.6 kW peak production. This makes panels practical for little more than powering a handful of [[inserter]]s to jump start heat production.

{{About/Space age}}
[[File:aquilo_preview.png|210px|right]]'''Aquilo''' is a desolate, freezing ocean planet. Its surface consists solely of a vast ocean of liquid ammonia, with the occasional floating iceberg.

Progression wise, Aquilo is meant to be visited after establishing factories on all the previous planets. [[Planet discovery Aquilo (research)]] requires [[rocket turret]]s, [[Advanced asteroid processing (research)]], and [[heating tower]]s from Gleba, [[Asteroid reprocessing (research)]] from [[Vulcanus]], and [[Electromagnetic science pack (research)]] from [[Fulgora]].

[[Planet discovery Aquilo (research)]] is required to travel to the planet.

With crude oil being the only non-exclusive resource to Aquilo, excluding ice obtained from [[lithium ice formation]].

Stone, iron and copper (and coal if desired) need to be imported from other planets as Aquilo lacks ways to obtain these from the environment.

== Access to basic resources ==

* [[Water]] can be obtained via [[Ammoniacal solution separation]] and [[Ice melting]]

* [[Coal]] is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* [[Crude oil]] can be obtained using pumpjacks as normal

== Mechanics ==

The starting area on Aquilo is a relatively small patch of snow and ice terrain. Beyond this small platform are the vast ammoniacal seas, which have small dots of icey terrain in them, usually around [[crude_oil|crude oil]], [[fluorine]]{{SA}}, or [[lithium_brine|lithium brine]]{{SA}} resource geysers. Aquilo is notable for having nothing to drill with any kind of miner [[File:Burner_mining_drill.png|18px|link=Burner_mining_drill]][[File:Electric_mining_drill.png|18px|link=Electric_mining_drill]][[File:Big_mining_drill.png|18px|link=Big_mining_drill]]. All natural resources, spare the [[lithium ice formation]]s, are gathered either by an [[offshore pump]] or [[pumpjack]]. Bases on Aquilo will be reliant on regularly shipping in resources from other planets.

[[Stone_brick|Stone Bricks]] can not be used to pave ice. Despite the flavor text stating that ice platforms "Will melt if exposed to heat", they do not actually melt.

{{About/Space age}}
[[File:aquilo_preview.png|210px|right]]'''Aquilo''' is a desolate, freezing ocean planet. Its surface consists solely of a vast ocean of liquid ammonia, with the occasional floating iceberg.

Progression wise, Aquilo is meant to be visited after establishing factories on all the previous planets. [[Planet discovery Aquilo (research)]] requires [[rocket turret]]s, [[Advanced asteroid processing (research)]], and [[heating tower]]s from Gleba, [[Asteroid reprocessing (research)]] from [[Vulcanus]], and [[Electromagnetic science pack (research)]] from [[Fulgora]].

[[Planet discovery Aquilo (research)]] is required to travel to the planet.

=== Natural resources ===
In terms of directly exploitable natural resources, Aquilo has:
* [[Ammoniacal solution]]{{SA}} (via [[offshore pump]] on the edge of the ammoniacal seas)
* [[Lithium brine]]{{SA}} (via [[pumpjack]])
* [[Fluorine]]{{SA}} (via pumpjack)
* [[Crude oil]] (via pumpjack)

With crude oil being the only non-exclusive resource to Aquilo, excluding ice obtained from [[lithium ice formation]].

Stone, iron and copper (and coal if desired) need to be imported from other planets as Aquilo lacks ways to obtain these from the environment.

== Access to basic resources ==

* [[Water]] can be obtained via [[Ammoniacal solution separation]] and [[Ice melting]]
* [[Stone]] is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* [[Iron ore]] is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* [[Copper ore]] is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* [[Coal]] is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* [[Crude oil]] can be obtained using pumpjacks as normal

== Mechanics ==

The starting area on Aquilo is a relatively small patch of snow and ice terrain. Beyond this small platform are the vast ammoniacal seas, which have small dots of icey terrain in them, usually around [[crude_oil|crude oil]], [[fluorine]]{{SA}}, or [[lithium_brine|lithium brine]]{{SA}} resource geysers. Aquilo is notable for having nothing to drill with any kind of miner [[File:Burner_mining_drill.png|18px|link=Burner_mining_drill]][[File:Electric_mining_drill.png|18px|link=Electric_mining_drill]][[File:Big_mining_drill.png|18px|link=Big_mining_drill]]. All natural resources, spare the [[lithium ice formation]]s, are gathered either by an [[offshore pump]] or [[pumpjack]]. Bases on Aquilo will be reliant on regularly shipping in resources from other planets.

=== Ice Terrain ===

On Aquilo, most terrain must be constructed, but [[landfill]] and [[foundation]]{{SA}} are no help. Instead, you must use [[ice platform|ice platforms]]{{SA}}. These platforms are created by first using [[ammoniacal solution separation]]{{SA}} to make [[ice]]{{SA}} and [[ammonia]]{{SA}}, then re-combining those into a platform that can be placed on the ocean like [[landfill]].

Snowy terrain can be built on directly, but on any kind of ice terrain or [[ice platform]], most buildings will require an insulating floor of [[concrete]] tiles or derivatives [[File:Concrete.png|18px|link=concrete]][[File:Hazard_concrete.png|18px|link=Hazard_concrete]][[File:Refined_hazard_concrete.png|18px|link=Refined_hazard_concrete]][[File:Refined_concrete.png|18px|link=Refined_concrete]] before they can be placed. [[Stone_brick|Stone Bricks]] can not be used to pave ice. Despite the flavor text stating that ice platforms "Will melt if exposed to heat", they do not actually melt.

=== Freezing ===
Aquilo is brutally cold. The harsh ambient temperatures drain the energy from any airborne [[construction robot|construction robots]] and [[logistic robot|logistic robots]], making them consume 5 times more power than normal. And most buildings will [[File:Frozen-icon.png|18px]] freeze and stop working unless heated by a [[heat pipe]] or heat generator. Heat can be generated by the [[nuclear reactor]] or [[heating tower]]{{SA}}.

Once a building is adjacent to a heat source above 29°C (30.01°C or higher), it will consume heat energy to maintain its state, reducing the energy (and temperature) in the heat source. Different entities consume different amounts of heat to prevent freezing. Note that underground belts and pipes are substantially larger heat drains than their above-ground versions. Also, heat pipes do not lose heat to the environment; they only lose heat to entities that need to be kept warm.

For details on heat throughput, see the [[heat pipe]] page.

A building is adjacent to a heat source when it is one tile away from the heat source either orthogonally or diagonally. All of the [[pipe|pipes]] would be heated in the below example:

=== Solar Energy ===
Aquilo is far from the sun, and so [[solar panel]]s on its surface only output at 1% of their rate on Nauvis: 0.6 kW peak production. This makes panels practical for little more than powering a handful of [[inserter]]s to jump start heat production.

Heat pipe

Tercicatrix: Fix typo, 27 vs 29 for freeze limit

{{Languages}}
{{:Infobox:Heat pipe}}

The '''heat pipe''' can transport heat over longer distances and connect devices which produce and use heat. Currently, this is limited to [[heat exchanger]]s, [[nuclear reactor]]s, and [[heating tower]]s{{SA}}.

Heat pipes have a heat capacity of 1 MJ/°C. Thus, they can theoretically buffer 500 MJ of heat energy across their working range of 500°C to 1000°C, making them a space-efficient energy store. However, because temperature needs a drop of greater than 1 degree before it will "flow," you can't raise them all the way to 1000°C or drain them all the way to 500°C, so the practical energy capacity will depend on the layout.

As heat pipes rise in temperature, they will give off a very low-distance glow. On the planet [[Aquilo]]{{SA}}, heat pipes are a necessity due to the freezing temperatures, as buildings will freeze over and stop working if high temperature heat pipes are not near them.

== Heat pipe throughput ==

Each heat pipe holds an amount of heat energy, and there is a limit to how much energy can go through each of them for a given duration.

For any heat pipe entity with one input connection on one side and one output connection on another, this entity with lower the temperature by <code>1 + (P / 15) °C</code> with P being the power going through this entity expressed in MW.

A [[heat exchanger]] must heat up to 500°C before it can generate steam. And the maximum temperature of a heat generator (such as a nuclear reactor) is 1000°C. As such, the temperature difference between a heat source and the heat exchanger is at most 500°C. We can express the maximum length of a straight line of heat pipe as <code>500 / (1 + P/15)</code>.

For example let's take a single nuclear reactor outputting 40MW of heat power to a single line of heat pipes. The furthest that line can go is <code>500 / (1 + 40/15)</code> which is around 136 heat pipes long.

A nuclear reactor can also be used to transfer heat in a similar manner as a heat pipe, whether or not it's fueled. In this case, the reactor will drop the temperature by <code>1 + (P / 387) °C</code>, with P again being the power in MW going through the entity. Note that this is an approximation, the actual value measured is supposed to be 200000/517 or about 386.847.

That being said, the nuclear reactor entity is also much bigger, meaning that we must compare it to 5 lines of 5 heat pipes instead of just a single one. The nuclear reactor will thus lower the temperature 5 times less with near-zero power going through it, and nearly 26 times less when approaching infinite power, compared to those lines of heat pipes.

As an example, a single line of 100 nuclear reactors (or 500 tiles) will only lower the temperature by about 360°C while carrying 1GW.

In [[Space Age]], on [[Aquilo]], heat pipes are used to prevent entities from [[Aquilo#Freezing|freezing]]. They automatically transfer heat into neighboring entities. Different entities consume different amounts of heat to prevent freezing, but they do not have the temperature requirements of a heat exchanger. Also, heat pipes do not lose heat to the environment; they only lose heat to entities that need to be kept warm.

Heat pipes only need to be above 29°C to keep an entity warm.

Tutorial:Localisation

2022-04-05T02:36:39Z

Tercicatrix:

{{Languages}}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:

<pre>welcome-message=Hello world
[category]
title=Category related title</pre>
Any whitespace after or before <code>=</code> is included in the key or string, so <code>title =Category related title</code> will give an unknown key error if you are looking for the <code>title</code> key, since it is the <code>title </code> key.

These files are located within the language code of the language in the locale folder of the mod, so as an English example <code>__mod__/locale/en/any_name_here.cfg</code>. 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 <code>iron-plate</code>, the game will then search all loaded locale files for <code>item-name.iron-plate</code> and <code>item-description.iron-plate</code>, which in the locale file looks like this:

<pre>[item-name]
iron-plate=Iron plate
[item-description]
iron-plate=A plate made of iron.</pre>
If found in the locale, the label is set to this string. If not found, the game will instead show: <code>Unknown key: "item-name.iron-plate"</code>

In script, the localised string is formatted as <code>{"category.name"}</code>, so <code>game.print({"item-name.iron-plate"})</code> 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.

== 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.:

<pre>time-left=Time left: __1__ minutes.</pre>
So it is used like this:

<source lang="lua">game.print({"time-left", 10})</source>
It also works with multiple parameters:

<source lang="lua">game.print({"time-left", 10, 45})</source>
<pre>time-left=Time left: __1__ minutes and __2__ seconds.</pre>
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:

<pre>technology-prompt=Use T to open the technology screen</pre>
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

<pre>technology-prompt=Use __CONTROL__open-technology-gui__ to open the technology screen.</pre>
We can also use this for items and entities etc.:

<pre>big-iron-plate=Big __ITEM__iron-plate__</pre>
<pre>tiny-gun-turret=Tiny __ENTITY__gun-turret__</pre>

=== 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.

<pre>format-days=__1__ __plural_for_parameter_1_{1=day|rest=days}__</pre>
This results in "1 day" and "2 days" / "500 days" etc.

The number after <code>__plural_for_parameter_</code> 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".
* "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:

<pre>__plural_for_parameter_1_{1=__1__ player is|rest=__1__ players are}__ connecting</pre>

The system chooses the first fitting plural that it encounters when multiple would fit:
<pre>__plural_for_parameter_1_{ends in 12=option 1|ends in 2=option 2|rest=option 3}__</pre>
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: <code>""</code> is used to concatenate, as the table format does not support concatenation:

<source lang="lua">game.print({"", {"item-name.iron-plate"}, ": ", 60})</source>
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:
<pre>how-to-build=Use __CONTROL__build__ to place a building</pre>
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:
<pre>how-to-build=__ALT_CONTROL__1__build__ to place a building</pre>

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 [https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaPlayer.html#LuaPlayer.request_translation LuaPlayer::request_translation] and [https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/events.html#on_string_translated 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: [https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=494243#p494243]

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], [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.

Tutorial:Localisation

2022-04-05T02:35:31Z

Tercicatrix: Add example of localization string __ENTITY__gun-turret__

{{Languages}}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:

<pre>welcome-message=Hello world
[category]
title=Category related title</pre>
Any whitespace after or before <code>=</code> is included in the key or string, so <code>title =Category related title</code> will give an unknown key error if you are looking for the <code>title</code> key, since it is the <code>title </code> key.

These files are located within the language code of the language in the locale folder of the mod, so as an English example <code>__mod__/locale/en/any_name_here.cfg</code>. 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 <code>iron-plate</code>, the game will then search all loaded locale files for <code>item-name.iron-plate</code> and <code>item-description.iron-plate</code>, which in the locale file looks like this:

<pre>[item-name]
iron-plate=Iron plate
[item-description]
iron-plate=A plate made of iron.</pre>
If found in the locale, the label is set to this string. If not found, the game will instead show: <code>Unknown key: "item-name.iron-plate"</code>

In script, the localised string is formatted as <code>{"category.name"}</code>, so <code>game.print({"item-name.iron-plate"})</code> 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.

== 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.:

<pre>time-left=Time left: __1__ minutes.</pre>
So it is used like this:

<source lang="lua">game.print({"time-left", 10})</source>
It also works with multiple parameters:

<source lang="lua">game.print({"time-left", 10, 45})</source>
<pre>time-left=Time left: __1__ minutes and __2__ seconds.</pre>
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:

<pre>technology-prompt=Use T to open the technology screen</pre>
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

<pre>technology-prompt=Use __CONTROL__open-technology-gui__ to open the technology screen.</pre>
We can also use this for items and entities etc.:

<pre>big-iron-plate=Big __ITEM__iron-plate__</pre>
<pre>big-iron-plate=Big __ENTITY__gun-turret__</pre>

=== 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.

<pre>format-days=__1__ __plural_for_parameter_1_{1=day|rest=days}__</pre>
This results in "1 day" and "2 days" / "500 days" etc.

The number after <code>__plural_for_parameter_</code> 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".
* "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:

<pre>__plural_for_parameter_1_{1=__1__ player is|rest=__1__ players are}__ connecting</pre>

The system chooses the first fitting plural that it encounters when multiple would fit:
<pre>__plural_for_parameter_1_{ends in 12=option 1|ends in 2=option 2|rest=option 3}__</pre>
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: <code>""</code> is used to concatenate, as the table format does not support concatenation:

<source lang="lua">game.print({"", {"item-name.iron-plate"}, ": ", 60})</source>
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:
<pre>how-to-build=Use __CONTROL__build__ to place a building</pre>
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:
<pre>how-to-build=__ALT_CONTROL__1__build__ to place a building</pre>

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 [https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaPlayer.html#LuaPlayer.request_translation LuaPlayer::request_translation] and [https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/events.html#on_string_translated 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: [https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=494243#p494243]

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], [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.

Tercicatrix: Updated version history section to mention introduction of fire and forest fires as game mechanics. Add page links as fitting.

{{Languages}}
{{:Infobox:Flamethrower}}

The '''flamethrower''' is an advanced weapon best used against hordes of enemies or [[trees]]. It deals intial splash damage in a large area and damage over time until the fire goes out. The damage is usally enough to destroy a biter nest with just one attack. It requires [[Flamethrower ammo]] to function.

== Achievements ==

Tree

Tercicatrix: /* Good methods to get rid of trees */ Organized entries in ascending level of sophistication

{{Languages}}
{{:Infobox:Tree}}
'''Trees''' are plants in Factorio. They can be mined for [[Raw wood]], and are the only source of it. Trees are obstacles to construction and must be cleared to provide building space, but they also reduce [[Pollution]], so take care not to remove more than necessary. Currently, trees cannot be replanted.

== Achievements ==
{{Achievement|run-forrest-run}}
{{Achievement|pyromaniac}}

== Good methods to get rid of trees ==

* Mining with [[Iron axe|iron]] or [[steel axe]]s (*)
* Shooting swaths of trees with a [[shotgun]] or [[combat shotgun]]
* Using [[grenade]]s to blow them up
* Using [[Poison capsule|poison]] to kill them
* Having construction robots harvest them using a [[deconstruction planner]] (*)
* Knocking them down by driving a [[tank]] over them
* Burning them with a [[flamethrower]], causing a [[forest fire]]
* Burning them with a flamethrower while in a tank
* Using [[atomic bomb]]s to blow them up

(*) Usable to collect raw wood. All other methods just destroy the tree and wood.

There are more methods, but these have a good ratio of 'tech vs. trees per minute'.

== Collecting wood ==

Raw wood can be collected by chopping down a dead or live tree, or deconstructing them with robots. Dead trees will give 2 raw wood and have a mining time of 1. Live trees will give 4 raw wood and have a mining time of 2.

== Pollution removal ==

Trees remove small amounts of pollution in their area. After absorbing more than 3500 units of pollution, trees start to lose their leaves, absorbing 500 units of pollution in the process. Apart from the visuals, this does not affect the tree.

Turret

2016-08-30T13:26:49Z

Tercicatrix: Laser Turrets drain 24 kW, not 6

{{Languages}}
'''Turrets''' are defensive structures that can be crafted after being researched. They come in three different types with different health, shooting speed, range, ammunition, damage type and damage per shot.

__FORCETOC__

== Gun Turrets ==

Gun turrets are very basic and cheap defensive structures and the simplest element of automatic defenses. They use magazines for ammunition which can be refilled manually or by [[inserters]]. They do not require power and can operate practically anywhere as long as they have sufficient ammunition. Gun turrets deal double damage per shot as compared to the man-portable [[pistol]] and [[submachine gun]], but have somewhat lower fire rate than the latter, so absent any turret-specific upgrades it does 1.33 times as much damage per second as the submachine guns. The gun turret receives bonuses from technologies that improve bullets so it keeps pace with the submachine gun as those improve, and they also receive bonuses from their own damage upgrade. These two damage effects stack multiplicatively: fully upgraded, bullets do 2.2 times as much damage as a standard bullet, and turrets do 2.2 times as much damage as a standard turret, so bullets from a turret do 2.2×2.2=4.84 times as much damage as without the upgrades, totaling 19.36 damage from [[Regular_Magazine|regular]] and 48.4 damage from [[Piercing_Rounds_Magazine|piercing]] bullets, more than fully-upgraded laser turrets can provide, though still not quite enough to kill medium spitters in a single shot.

If one plans to exclusively use gun turrets, using a [[Train]] to send ammo to restock distant turrets is very effective.

== Laser Turrets ==

Laser turrets are an advanced defense building with a longer range, good damage and use [[Electric network|electricity]] to operate (and a smaller amount of energy when idle). By dealing '''laser damage''' they don't face any resistances ([[enemies]] receive full damage) but have a lower rate of fire than gun turrets. Each shot costs a constant 800kJ of energy; as the shooting speed increases through upgrades, so too does the power required to keep firing.

Since using laser turrets to ward off attacks can cause electricity usage spikes, using [[Basic accumulator|accumulators]] to offset the cost is recommended to keep the rest of the network fully functional.

==Flamethrower Turret==

New in version 0.13, Flamethrower turrets provide literal fire support, setting enemies on fire and doing damage over time. Unlike the previous turrets, they have a limited firing arc, therefore should be place at choke points or behind walls. They use liquids as ammunition, which requires dedicated fluid pumping, capable of using crude oil, heavy oil, or light oil. Different liquids provide further damage bonuses. (Light oil yielding a 10% damage boost.)

Currently, flamethrower turrets have a tendency to miss the first row of biters, as unlike the laser and gun turrets they do not have a seeking projectile, instead firing over the heads of the first row. Due to this, gun/laser turrets will be necessary in addition to flame turrets. The second biters in line will not be so lucky, however. When fully upgraded, Flamethrower turrets are capable of doing 145.2/s Fire damage plus an additional 217.8/s damage for 8 seconds. This makes them far more powerful than the gun turret or the laser turret, especially considering Biters' lack of resistance to fire. The high damage cheapens the cost of liquids.

The optimal attack for flamethrower turrets to handle would be a very linear attack, where the enemy attacked in a line formation, to ensure most attackers end up walking through the pool of fire left by the turret.
