Supply challenge

2021-12-04T22:53:16Z

Tyroney: changed solid fuel to sulfur (current as of 1.1.48)

{{Languages}}
In the '''supply challenge''' scenario the player has to fulfill production output objectives with their factory. Finishing a level rewards the player with points. The scenario can be played in single player and [[multiplayer]].

In every level, the player has a limited amount of time to place the required items into the specified chests. The requirements increase with each level.<br>
Finishing a level rewards the player with 10 x the level number points, plus a time bonus for finishing quickly. The player can choose whether they sell the remaining time for points or use it to prepare for the next level. If the level is finished early, 5 points are awarded for each second left on the timer. The amount of points per second goes down by 0.2 each level, so selling the time in earlier levels is worth more points.

Tyroney: lets make solid fuel make sense

== solid fuel streamlining ==
This seems to be the place Solid Fuel is broken into different types, even though there is only one type. (the separate type pages all redirect to the solid fuel page.) Any reason not to simplify and remove them so that infoboxes are less confusing/match the game/mechanics? --[[User:Tyroney|Tyroney]] ([[User talk:Tyroney|talk]]) 09:17, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Oil refinery

2017-01-13T04:37:46Z

Tyroney: /* Notes */ added info re:water input

{{Languages}}
{{:Oil refinery/infobox}}

[[File:Oil-refinery-example.png|thumb|256px|A sample setup for an oil refinery]]
Oil refinery splits crude oil into 3 different fluids: [[Heavy Oil]], [[Light Oil]] and [[Petroleum Gas]]. These byproducts cannot be packed into steel barrels and must be stored in a [[Storage Tank]] or piped to a [[Chemical plant]].

== Notes ==
* Later on you can research a second recipe that produces less of the relatively useless heavy oil and more of 2 other fluids, in exchange for having to supply water to the refinery.
* When placing the refinery, it can be rotated, but otherwise neither input nor output tiles can be swapped in any way. (For advanced oil processing, the water input is to the right when the inputs are coming into the top.)

== Troubleshooting ==

When the refinery is working, a flame comes out of the chimney.

* You need to choose the recipe, otherwise it won't work.
* It will stop working if any of the products isn't properly drained from it (that is, 10.0 heavy oil at output will prevent production of the 2 other fluids).

== History ==

{{history|0.11.6|
* Now disconnects from pipes when recipe is reset.}}

{{history|0.9.1|
* Now accepts modules
* Added cracking recipes}}

Power production/Optimal ratios

2016-03-30T22:24:02Z

Tyroney: /* Solar Panels/Accumulators */ fixed ratio order to match sentence

{{Languages}}
{{sublinks}}

This is about how many [[Boiler]]s, [[Pump]]s, [[Steam engine]]s and also ratios of [[Solar panel]] and [[Basic accumulator]] (and more).

== Hot liquids ==

=== Steam engines, pumps and boilers ===

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Needed number of entities in different situations
! Situation !! # of steam engines !! # of boilers !! # offshore pumps !! Comment
|-
| One steam engine || '''1''' || 2 || 1 || Could be used in very niche situations
|-
| One off-shore pump || 10 || 14 || '''1''' || A very popular and widely-used setup
|-
| Full throughput of a pipe || max. 21 || max. 28 || 3 || Total throughput depends on the length of the pipe
|}

Each steam engine needs roughly 1.31 boilers when running at full capacity.

One [[Pump|offshore pump]] can satisfy 14 [[Boiler]]s and 10 [[Steam engine|steam engines]]. 13 boilers will make the job also, but this tends to have problems to raise the temp after coal shortness or other accidents ([[Biter]]s love to attack the boilers).

To fully satisfy a pipe you need 3 [[Pump]]s or 5 [[Small pump]]s (or better 6, but that depends on pressure!). But with this setup you will find, that the length of your pipe-setup will influence this too much. This is definitely not a beginner strategy.

* [[Liquids/Hot|Hot Liquids]]
* [[Liquids/Pipe physics]].

=== Hot liquids in tanks ===

To equalize the needed throughput (different needs of energy between day and night for example), hot water from boilers can also be stored in [[Storage Tank|storage tanks]] and used by extra steam engines during peak times or during night (if solar is in place). This energy storage technique can be used instead of or in addition to [[Basic accumulator|accumulators]].

See [[Liquids/Hot#Storing_hot_liquids_as_energy_storage|about storing of hot liquids]] how to use that.

== Solar Panels/Accumulators ==

=== Optimal ratio ===

The optimal ratio is 0.84 (21:25) accumulators per solar panel.

This is taken from [http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5594 Accumulator / Solar panel ratio], which calculates this in an impressive mathematical way!

Logistic robotics (research)

2016-03-25T02:24:56Z

Tyroney: mention required research for logistics use

{{Languages}}
{{Technology
| cost = time, 30 + science pack 1 + science pack 2
| costmultiplier = 50
| requirements = flight + robotics
| allows = logistic system + character logistic slots,1 + logistic robot speed,1 + logistic robot cargo size,1 + character logistic trash slots,1
| effects = roboport + passive provider chest + logistic robot
}}
Logistic robotics unlocks the capability to construct [[Roboport|Roboports]], [[Logistic_robot|Logistic Robots]], and [[Passive_provider_chest|Passive Provider Chests]], which are required to create a [[Logistic network|Logistics Network]]. The logistic network provides an efficient alternative to the [[Belt transport system|Belt Transportation System]]. To actually use logistic robots, either [[Logistic network]] or [[Character_logistic_slots_(research)|logistic slots]] must be researched.

Burner mining drill

2016-03-10T22:42:04Z

Tyroney: Found no evidence in patch notes or testing - burner drills cannot fuel themselves.

{{Languages}}
{{Machinery

|miningspeed=0.35

}}

Mines about 7 resources per single unit of coal used to fuel it. Covers and mines in a 2x2 area. Mines 0.28/s of copper, coal or iron and .3675/s of stone. Burner miners create a lot of pollution per resource.

==Circular-feeding==
Two burner mining drills can refuel each other, when placed next to each other on a coal deposit as long as they're facing each other. Each drill fuels the other and coal gradually accumulates in their [[Storage/Stack]]s, so you have effectively a storage of 100 coal (2 stack, 50 coal, one in each burner miner, together 100). You can do this also for 4 or any other even number of miners, though [[Electric Mining Drill]]s are far more efficient once [[Electricity]] is available.

Tyroney: what is this thing?

==Split off?==
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?
