A quick introduction to Factorio, this is less of a tutorial and more of an overview to get people familiar with the game and give them an idea of what to expect.
Just notice that dupes in comfy beds sleep like cats.
After all the big project and hard work, it's time for our duplicants to play hard. We remove lots of manual labor from their to do list by automating farming and set about turning the main base into more of a recreation park. Unfortunately we don' have all the materials yet to implement everything we want to but we do get quite a bit of the moral buildings implements. Their is only one accident in the whole episode, it was a good day to be a dupe.
Save game file, we are in the end game now so this takes a while to load.

It's all about the money in Starsector. It reminds me a lot of X3, Freelancer and Escape Velocity with a sprinkling of Master of Orion 2 thrown in. We are not here to do some small low level fights, we are here to build an empire. The life blood of any empire is money so first we get the money, then we get the power, then we.... well we are most likely going to end up destroying a lot of real estate. It's just that once you have built an empire what else is there left to do?

I don't like drops like that one, we lost a lot of firepower in those antigrain warheads. That is going to make the remaining of the days even harder.
Though on the bright side that last raid caused way less slow down.

Progress is pretty swift so far, lots of new kids and research is going pretty fast. Would still like to have about 10 more things researched right now but we can wait and as the kids mature things will get easier. It's weird staying this small for so long.

Best way to armor up to stop one shot deaths in Rimworld. Well the minimum amount of armor you want, to ensure you minimize those chances. Turns out charge lances are tough to stop. Machine pistols are really fun though, you can get them to tickle level with the right almost impossible to obtain equipment. As tutorials go it's pretty straight forward, flak vests are amazing low tech, combine with dusters for maximum results. For the high end, excellent cataphract armour is the only way to realistically maximize your survival chances. Pheonix armour also get's an honourable mention.
Spreadsheet : Fair warning it's not neat or tidy it is also potentially unreadable.

Nuclear power, then straight into upgrading Green, Blue and Red circuit production. I can feel the pull of this game again, that urge to upgrade just one more thing before you quit. It's great, also dangerous.
We now have decent circuit production and lots of excess power, time to finish out non rocket science and start playing with trains.

We can safely say that Rail guns are OP. You can shred most enemies without them returning fire at all. With only 100 ish crew we have levelled this sector. The hard part was storing all the resulting ship parts. I think our next railgun iteration is going to be way oversized.

Having multiple bases can be fun, especially when enemies get set to the empty one. Pirates vs Bugs it was a lot closer than I thought it was going to be.
As requested save file, after fight.

So maybe I misused the kilbox a bit during the first attack, but we learned from our mistakes and corrected for them. I do like the design as it gives you a large degree of control and is relatively compact. Outside of that production of bionics is going perfectly but we are starting to run short of lances and shields. We need to start doing transport runs or we are going to end up facing a breecher raid without any support and getting seriously hurt.
