{{Languages}}{{:Infobox:Player}}
Factorio is played from the angled top down perspective of the ''player''.

The ''physical representation'' (or the '''Engineer''') 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#Change_Player_color|Console]]. These colors transfer to any entered [[car]] or [[tank]], depending on which player is driving them. These colors also transfer to [[gun turret]]s, [[laser turret]]s or [[gate]]s, depending on who they were placed by.

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 250 (without energy shields). The player's health can naturally, slowly regenerate a few seconds after taking damage. The character's main inventory has 80 slots (without bonuses from [[Power_armor|power armor]], [[Toolbelt_(research)|toolbelt research]], or [[Logistic_robotics_(research)|logistic trash slots]]). Similar to the stationary radar, the character constantly reveals an area of 5×5 [[Map_structure#Chunk|chunks]], centered on the chunk the character occupies.

== Distinction between player and character ==

[[File:twoplayers.png|thumb|180px|right|Two different color characters in multiplayer.]]
[[File:player_color_select_gui.png|thumb|180px|The player's color customization.]]
[[File:player_logistics_gui.png|thumb|180px|right|The player's logistic options next to the inventory.]]

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 six primary ways of interacting with the world:

# Crafting items personally from resources using the craft menu (Default open key: E)
# Placing entities or [[tile]]s by selecting them from the inventory or quickbar (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 resources from a resource entity (Default: '''Hold''' RMB)
# Picking up non-placed items from the ground and placing them in your inventory (Default: Hold/press F)
# Firing weapons at [[Military units and structures|enemies]] (Default: Press or hold Spacebar depending on weapon)
# Passively with a flashlight that automatically turns on during the night time (which transfers to headlights if the player is in a vehicle.)

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

Note: The player can do that only if their character owns the abilities for this. For example: They cannot fire a weapon, because they has no weapon slots.

== Death ==
When a player is killed, it leaves behind a corpse that lasts 15 minutes and contains all items that were located in the player's inventory, quickbar, trash slots, and equipment slots. 10 seconds after being killed, the player respawns at the center of the world, or at a pre-determined player spawn (which can be set via the [[map editor]]).

== Quickbar and shortcut bar ==
{{Main|Quickbar}}
The quickbar is a user interface component for creating links to items that are always visible at the bottom of the screen. Once created they can be quickly selected at any time without needing to open the inventory. It shows between one and four bars from a set of ten available, each containing 10 slots. Clicking any filled slot will place the chosen item in the player's hand if available in the inventory.

{{Main|Shortcut bar}}
The shortcut bar is a group of icons for accessing regularly used features such as obtaining [[blueprint]]s and [[deconstruction planner]]s with a simple mouse click. It is always visible at the bottom of the screen, appearing to the right of the quickbar. The icons can be hidden and their order can be changed.

[[File:Quickbar and shortcut bar.png]]

{{Main|Weapons}}
To the left most side of the screen are the player's equipped weapons and armor, along with the types of ammo being used for each weapon. The player can switch between weapons at any time.

Energy and work

2021-12-12T20:21:54Z

Ubehr: /* Types of work */ pronoun

{{Languages}}
Factorio simulates many aspects of real physics and the quite correct use of energy is one important aspect.

Energy and work are directly dependent.

For another explanation, see the [https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=33963 Forum].

== Definitions ==

* '''Energy''' can be thought of as stored work. It is measured in joules (symbol J).
* '''Work''' is the result of converting one type of energy to another. It is also measured in joules. (See the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_%28physics%29 Wikipedia article on work].)
* '''Power''' is the rate of work - the amount of work done, or energy produced, over a unit of time. It is measured in watts (symbol W). One watt is equal to one joule divided by one second, i.e. one joule per second.
* '''Efficiency''' is the ratio between ''useful'' work done and the energy expended. It usually expressed as a percentage. Its unit would be joules per joule, but dividing something by the same thing cancels them out, so it is dimensionless.
* '''Waste''' is the difference between energy consumed and useful work done.

If you have a source of power and apply it over some time in order to perform some physical task, you have performed work, using a quantity of energy.

See also [[Units#Work]].

== Types of energy ==
Energy is available as:
* [[Fuel]]. The energy contained in a unit of fuel is described as its ''fuel energy''. Each [[Burner devices|building or vehicle that can be fuelled]] generally consumes fuel at a rate according to its power rating as long as it's working. For example:
** A car's power is 250 kW, meaning it consumes 250 kJ worth of fuel per second while it's accelerating (or driving at maximum speed).
** [[Nuclear reactor]]s consume uranium fuel cells at a rate of 40 MW. Like most other fueled appliances, this is constant as long as it has fuel to consume.
** Conversely, [[boiler]]s consume fuel at a rate according to their ''load'' (rate of steam being carried away), up to a ''maximum'' of their power rating.
* [[Electric system|Electricity]] taken from the electric network. In addition to active power consumption, appliances have a '''drain''', the power they consume even when not working as long as they're connected to the power network. For example:
** An [[assembling machine 1]] has drain 3 kW and power consumption 90 kW. It consumes 3 kJ per second while not working, and 93 kJ per second while working.
* Charge in [[accumulator]]s, [[Personal battery|battery armor modules]], and flying robots.

Abstractly, energy also exists as:
* The potential energy of a piece of ore or unit of oil/water on the ground or on/in a belt/pipe, compared to the same piece/unit under the ground/in the sea.
* Kinetic energy in robots, vehicles, and items, and the player's avatar while moving.
* The damage dealt by weapons, vehicles and fire.
* The additional order (i.e. reduced entropy) in an assembled item compared to its components.

== Types of work ==
One can observe work being done in Factorio in numerous ways. Mostly these are abstract and not measured in game in joules. For example:
* The player avatar moving their body and equipment around, mining, building, and crafting, performs work. Unlike in real life, this doesn't require any energy (i.e. your avatar doesn't need to eat); its efficiency is therefore infinite. On the other hand, biters and their spawners apparently absorb pollution and use its energy to move, bite, spit, and reproduce.
* Transport belts and offshore pumps perform work by moving their contents from one place to another. [[Turret]]s perform work by rotating to aim and pulling the trigger. Unrealistically, but as a conscious design decision, none of these require a source of energy, and so their efficiency is also infinite.
* Turrets (and other projectiles) also perform work by converting the chemical energy of a bullet's propellant to kinetic energy in the bullet itself, which itself proceeds to do work in the form of damage. [[Laser turret]]s convert electricity into damage rather more directly. [[Flamethrower]]s and [[flamethrower turret]]s convert the chemical energy of oil into damage.
* Vehicles ([[car]]s, [[tank]]s and [[train]]s) convert the chemical energy of fuel into kinetic energy (i.e. motion). When they collide with things, they convert some of this kinetic energy into damage (which is why they then slow down).
* [[Inserters]] and (non-offshore) [[pump]]s perform work by moving items and fluids from one place to another. This requires energy, either in the form of fuel (for a [[burner inserter]]) or electricity (for other types).
* [[Burner mining drill]]s and [[electric mining drill]]s convert energy (in fuel and electricity respectively) into potential energy held by a piece of ore on the ground; [[pumpjack]]s do the same thing to put crude oil in a pipe.
* [[Lab]]s perform work by converting science packs and electricity into research.
* Machines that produce items, converting input products into output products ([[Oil refinery|refineries]], [[assembling machine]]s etc.), do work by assembling the components into a more ordered form, as a product. The resulting increase in order is a form of potential energy. Most use electricity to do this; the major exceptions are [[stone furnace]]s and [[steel furnace]]s.

The types of work that ''are'' measured in joules in game are:
* [[Boiler]]s convert the chemical energy of fuel into heat, which it transfers into [[water]] to produce [[steam]].
* [[Nuclear reactor]]s convert the nuclear energy in [[uranium fuel cell]]s into heat. [[Heat exchanger]]s then transfer this heat, conveyed by [[heat pipe]]s, into water, producing steam.
* [[Steam engine]]s and [[steam turbine]]s turn the energy stored in steam into electricity.
* [[Solar panel]]s convert sunlight into electricity. ("Sunlight" isn't an expendible resource, so this effectively has infinite efficiency.)

== Waste and pollution: differences from real physics ==
A process with higher efficiency (useful work per unit energy consumed) produces less waste. In real life, ''total'' work done is always equal to energy consumed, but the amount of ''useful'' work done may be (usually is) less, but cannot be more. In other words, a process can't have an efficiency greater than 100%, meaning it would do more work than the energy you put into it. This is known as the principle of conservation of energy. The difference between useful and total work is ''waste'' or ''entropy'', usually in the form of heat; the impossibility of using (all) waste energy to perform work is known as the second law of thermodynamics.

The actual amount of work done by most processes in game is not quantified, but nonetheless they are generally not 100% efficient. This abstract inefficiency is represented by '''[[pollution]]''', produced by almost all machines when they do work (as well as being what happens to the physical matter of fuel when it's consumed). One exception is the electric network. In real life electric cables, transformers etc. hum and get hot, but in Factorio the electric network does not produce pollution.

In Factorio, some things do however have greater than 100% efficiency: transport belts and offshore pumps move stuff without needing to be powered, turrets rotate and shoot without power, and players move around and build things without needing to eat.

Enemies

2021-12-12T20:19:39Z

Ubehr: /* Spitters */ pronoun

{{Languages}}
[[File:biter_intro.png|175px|right]]'''Enemies''' (also commonly called '''Biters''') are creatures that want to [[Damage|harm]] the [[player]]. They are the native inhabitants of the extraterrestrial world in the form of arthropods living in organic nests, coexisting with each other peacefully. They are encountered in three species: Biters, spitters and worms. The species are further distinguished in four stages of growth, and thus strength. Enemies and nests show up on the map as red dots. Much like the player, enemies can slowly regain lost health.

== Achievements ==
Enemies are directly connected to the following achievements:

Biters are one of two main antagonists in the game. They come in four sizes: small, medium, big and behemoth. In the beginning of a game, there will only be the small ones. With increasing [[pollution]], they will become bigger, related to the enemy's [[#Evolution|evolution]]. As common sense may suggest, their method of attack is a straightforward charge to "bite" things.

===Spitters===
'''Spitters''' are much like [[Enemies#Biters|biters]] and only appear slightly later on in the game as the evolution factor increases. Their main difference from biters is their ranged attack. Using predictive aiming, they spit a stream of acid at enemies which leaves behind a puddle of acid where it hits the ground. Due to the spitters' predictive aiming, the acid stream can be dodged by suddenly changing walking directions or standing still.[https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-279] Both the stream and the puddle of acid deal damage of time and slow down players and vehicles. Most entities of the game have a much lower resistance to acid than other damage types (including [[turret]]s and [[armor]]), so spitters are effectively more potent against the player and their factories. Their behaviour and size classification are the same as with biters, but their health is universally lower and they are resistant exclusively against explosives, with no physical resistance.

===Worms===

The Worms are natural allies of biters and spitters and will attack the player if they get close enough with an attack similar to spitters'. They act like static [[turret]]s and will not follow attackers. They rely on high damage, great range and splash damage to keep the player away from the worms and the nests they protect, but either one of these advantages can be overcome. Unlike other enemies, they are also highly resistant to fire. They will spit acid at the player, which can also leave acidic puddles on the ground that can still damage players and vehicles, as well as slow them both down and leave a brief acidic, damaging effect for a few seconds. However, placed buildings and tiles are unaffected by the acid puddles, but still take damage normally by the acid projectile.

Worms come in 4 sizes, their power increasing with size. Like biters and spitters, behemoth, big and medium worms spawning is influenced by the evolution factor. Worms are only created during enemy expansion when a certain evolution factor requirement is fulfilled. This is 0.3 for the medium worm, 0.5 for the big worm and 0.9 for the behemoth worm. Below these evolution factors, worms can only be created by the map generation. In map generation, the game restricts higher tier worms behind the distance from the starting point. The further away the player goes from the starting area, the stronger the worms become.

==Nests==

The spawn points of biters and spitters. While nests themselves are generally defenseless, the enemies they release over time effectively serve as a form of guards to distract the player and any nearby turrets, and are often accompanied by worms. Nests exposed to pollution will use it to send enemies to join attacks. Enemies not engaged in combat may seek out the nearest nest for protection.

The nests are highly resistant to fire and otherwise generally more resilient than a medium worm.

=== Expansions ===
Every 4-60 minutes, a group of 5-20 biters/spitters will leave their base to create a new base which will consist of as many worms/nests as there are members in the group. This group will search for a suitable spot that's 3-7 chunks away from existing bases. The interval between enemy expansions is global, and the higher enemy evolution, the shorter the interval is on average. Furthermore, with higher evolution, the groups are bigger on average.

Once they have found a suitable spot, each biter/spitter in the group dies and forms a new nest or worm. Forming a new nest or worm will destroy anything that is in the way, which can include members of the expansion group. There is a delay between each member sacrificing itself for to create a worm/nest, so creating the new base from the expansion group can take quite a long time, depending on the group size. Medium worms are only formed if the current evolution is higher than 0.3, big worms only if the current evolution is higher than 0.5 and behemoth worms are only formed if current evolution is higher than 0.9. The game randomly chooses whether to form a new biter nest, spitter nest, small worm, or bigger worm if the evolution factor is high enough. [https://gist.github.com/Bilka2/aa88490c23124a6f214c02c73a368aa7]

==Defense==
[[File:kills_gui.png|thumb|220px|right|"Kills" tab on the [[production statistics]] screen.]]Nests spawn biters and spitters freely. However, biters and spitters will only aggressively engage the player's factory if the pollution cloud of the factory reaches a nest because pollution is consumed to send biters or spitters to join the next attack. Every 1 to 10 minutes (random) the mustered biters launch an attack. If not all biters have arrived at the rendezvous point by that time, they will wait up to an additional 2 minutes for stragglers. The attack then proceeds to their target over the shortest path possible, accounting for terrain, but not for player entities that could pose an obstacle (like [[wall]]s).

If there is a clear path somewhere around those obstacles, the biters will attempt to go around. If there is no clear passage or a clear passage would mean deviating too far from the original course, the biters will attack whatever is in their way to go through. This can be exploited to an extent; creating mazes at regular intervals along a barrier can direct the biters through a gauntlet not dissimilar to tower defense.

However, if a biter comes in proximity of a [[Military units and structures|military unit or structure]], it will prioritize these and attempt to immediately attack them instead, again trying to reach the new target over the shortest possible path with no too great detours, if possible.

==Evolution==
[[File:Evolution Biters.png|thumb|right|400px|Spawn chances of biters from biter spawners by evolution factor.]]
[[File:Evolution Spitters.png|thumb|right|400px|Spawn chances of spitters from spitter spawners by evolution factor.]]
[[File:Evolution Weights.png|thumb|right|400px|Weight graph of both spawners by evolution factor. The values shown are primarily for indicating when certain types start and stop spawning, for actual chances refer to the tables or other charts.]]
The evolution factor is a global variable that determines what kind of biters will be spawned. You can check the variable in the dev console via the following command (does not disable achievements):

/evolution

The evolution factor goes from 0 (not evolved at all) to 1 (maximal evolution). At the moment the evolution factor can only increase.

Besides choosing what kind of biter will be spawned, the evolution factor also influences the spawning interval. This interval (<code>spawning_cooldown</code> in the <code>enemy-spawner</code> definition) is interpolated between 360 (0 evolution) and 150 (1 evolution) game ticks (= 6 to 2.5 seconds).

=== Methods of increasing ===

The evolution factor is increased by three kinds of events:

* The passage of time very slightly increases the evolution factor.
* The global [[Pollution|pollution production]] increases the evolution factor.
* Destroying [[Enemies#Nests|nests]] significantly increases the evolution factor.

All these values are set in <code>game.map_settings.enemy_evolution</code>. From there they can be changed or modded.

The default settings are:

{| class="wikitable"
!Source per
!Variable in <code>enemy_evolution</code>
!Percent increase
|-
| [[Time#Seconds|Second]] || <code>time_factor</code> || 0.0004%
|-
| 1 Pollution unit || <code>pollution_factor</code> || 0.00009%
|-
| Destroyed enemy spawner || <code>destroy_factor</code> || 0.2%
|}

Pollution production is the total pollution produced by [[Pollution#Polluters|buildings]] per tick, not the pollution spreading on the map, so it is not reduced by trees or other absorbers.
e.g. : 10 boilers produce 300 pollution in one minute, raising the evolution factor by around 0.027%.

The percentages are applied on the base of <code>(1 - current_evolution_factor)²</code>. So for instance destroying enemy spawners in the beginning of the game results in increase of evolution factor by 0.002 (0.2%) while doing this when the evolution factor is 0.5 the increase is only 0.0005 (0.05%).

This also means that the evolution factor approaches 1 asymptotically - generally, increases past 0.9 or so are ''very'' slow and the number never actually reaches 1.0.

=== Spawn chances by evolution factor ===

The probability charts show the chances of each type of biter/spitter for each spawner at all evolution levels.

<div id="evoChecker"></div>

=== Advanced: Evolution factor components and computation ===
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:calc(100%-400px); overflow:auto;">
This section has charts plotting the individual evolution factor components and discusses possibilities for manually estimating the evolution factor.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

[[File:Evolution_factor_by_time.png|400px|thumb|right|1. Single-component evolution factor increase with time]]
[[File:Evolution_factor_by_pollution.png|400px|thumb|right|2. Single-component evolution factor increase with pollution]]
[[File:Evolution_factor_by_spawners.png|400px|thumb|right|3. Single-component evolution factor increase with destroyed spawners]]

'''Notes'''

* Data from version 0.16.51.

* This does not take into account that the evolution factor is factored with (1 - evolution)^2 and not (1 - evolution)

* All charts end at approximately an evolution factor of 0.99.

*To simplify calculation, the time and pollution charts are calculated using steps of 1,000 seconds / 1,000,000 pollution units - in both cases 1,000 times larger than the unit the game uses for the calculation. Because of the recursive nature of the calculation, this makes the values in the charts somewhat '''higher''' than those the game would obtain in the same calculation; however, the difference is fairly minimal (less than 1 percentage point). The spawners chart is calculated 1-to-1 and therefore accurate.

*While time passed is shown on save files and spawners destroyed can be retrieved from player statistics, the game does not currently report the total pollution released by the player. Also, none of the well-known Factorio calculators show pollution generated by a particular factory. Therefore, to make use of the pollution chart the player's pollution output would need to be manually estimated.

*Given that the game reports the actual evolution factor (console: <code>/evolution</code>) whenever the player wishes, these charts are intended primarily to help estimate the impact of planned base expansions and similar activities on the evolution factor's future development.

'''Comments'''

These charts (click to enlarge) represent the situation where each evolution factor component (time, pollution, destroyed spawners) is the ''only'' component contributing to the evolution factor in that entire game. They are therefore '''not realistic''', as in a typical game all three components will contribute, some at varying times and intensities.

Because of how contributions to the evolution factor (hereinafter, EF) are calculated (multiplied by <code>(1 - current EF)</code>), it is '''not''' possible to simply add the values indicated by these charts for a game's time passed, pollution generated, and / or spawners destroyed so far to retrieve the total evolution factor.

For example, if 20 hours have passed (single-component EF =~ 0.25), 10 million pollution units were released (single-component EF =~ 0.15), and 200 spawners were destroyed (single-component EF =~ 0.35), the actual evolution factor will '''not''' be (0.25 + 0.15 + 0.35 =) ~0.85.

However, the evolution factor will always be '''less''' than the sum of all individual components as indicated by these charts, and '''at least''' as high as the highest individual component. Thus, using the values from above, the EF will be ''at least'' 0.35 and ''less than'' 0.85. A smarter approach is required to compute the amount of pollution released.

'''Computation of actual evolution factor'''

The actual EF can be computed as follow :

<code> 1 - EF = (1 - E[t]) * (1 - E[p]) * (1 - E[s])</code>, where ''E[t]'', ''E[p]'', and ''E[s]'' are the single-component values from the pollution, time, and spawner charts, in that order.

A key observation in understanding where this formula comes from is that each incremental change of the evolution factor is effectively a multiplication of <code>1 - EF</code> by a constant (depending on the nature of the change). For example, another way of saying that killing a biter nest augments evolution by 0.2% of <code>1 - EF</code>, is to say that killing a biter nest multiplies <code>1 - EF</code> by 0.998.

So, like multiplication, evolution is, barring rounding errors, associative and commutative. The commutativity means that the order in which you take evolution-increasing actions does not matter, and along with the associativity results in the formula above.

That knowledge can also be applied to compute the above charts exactly, or to compute a component of evolution without having to refer to the chart at all. For example, pollution as a function of time only is <code>1 - 0.999996 ^ t</code> where t is the time in seconds.

For the values from above, we can deduce the evolution factor <code>1 - EF = (1 - 0.25) * (1 - 0.15) * (1 - 0.35) = 0.75 * 0.85 * 0.35 = 0.41</code>, which gives an evolution factor of <code>0.59</code>.

This formula can also be used to estimate impact of future player activities on the EF: a set of actions that is known to bring the evolution factor of a world from 0 to EF(2) (eg using the above chart and formula) will bring it from EF(1) to <code>1 - (1-EF(1)) * (1-EF(2))</code>

For example, if the player planned to spend the next 20 hours building up their base, releasing 10 million pollution and destroying 200 spawners in the meantime (i.e., the same numbers as in the example above), and the EF at the start of this period were, say, 0.55, then the estimated EF at its end will be <code>1 - (1 - 0.55) * (1 - 0.59) = 0.81</code>.
