So any of my old designs are null and void, /iron/stone do not exist on the map.Īnd to be honest, I forget I even have BP's half the time.ĭeer_buster wrote:Dunno how most other people do it, but I probably spend at least 3x more time utilizing Creative Mode mod to optimize layouts for my current game, than I spend in my actual game.

Also I use BP's for remote scanning bases once i get accumulators, 8 solar and 4 acc with a radar surrounded with walls and 4 turrets (one on each corner) work real well for passively exploring the map.Ĭurrently I am playing Bobs+Angles plus a few extra mods of my own liking.

I also use them for T and + crossings as well, so I don't have to keep remembering how to lay them out the more complex they get. Things I DO use BP's for are Trains, when trying to keep with a certain train size, all the stops ect need to remain the same. I could BP them, but I don't as I usually see BP's as something for the later game when you have bots to build the BP's. As such I have most of my deigns memorized and know exactly how to place them every time, spacing and all. I am accustomed to the times before BP's could be imported, or even existed. In my opinion it is Factorio's strength that there are so many so different styles to play it even I restrict myself to certain things. Just do not use it if you do not like it and let others play with their own styles and modsets. I do not see reason to remove that functionality because it does not prevent any gaming style. It is now programmed and do not use developer's resources anymore. However, before importing was implemented in vanilla game there were popular mods and many players wanted to that possibility. I like to do things little bit differently, and on the other hand, I am not interested to build huge megabases with million copies of production chains. Personally I find both of those reduce the enjoyment. So I suppose therefore I should take that same approach to not importing blueprints.Īs I said, my only reason for this discussion was to make Factorio better - not to offend people. The belt design is crucial to my enjoyment. Personally I try very hard to not uses logistic bots, except for supplying me only. I guess one could liken this to bots vs belts debate.

I think Zavian nailed it on the head - some people find fun in doing different activities. But I appreciate that some people aren't interested in re-doing designs, or doing their own. Surely that's exactly what the import function is for? Re-using designs you've already done, so you don't have to do them again - OR, using someone elses designs. But can you elaborate what the point of blueprints is then? (or more specifically, the importing of blueprints). Thanks Kovarex, of course theyre not perfect designs, and can always do them better. Obviously, If you just copy paste your last base, there is no point in playing, but that is not the point of blueprints.

So, if you couldnt Import Blueprints, or blueprint books, would it make it more enjoyable? The whole thing I enjoyed about this game, of solving a design problem (which i think is the thing EVERYONE enjoys about this game), is gone after the first play.Īnd the whole reason is, because you can Import previous designs. The only thing thats kept me interested, has been: Build (or use bots to build) an exact replica of base(s) i've already built. And i'm now playing my 6th or 7th game (and a couple with Bobs Mods). I've got a couple gigawatt bases now, with automated everything. When I started, I loved the "being presented with a problem (how to make a xxx colour science for example, or rockets, etc), and spending ages/hours coming up with a design how, and then hours more on how to do it most efficiently. Okay, Firstly, I realise this suggestion may upset some people, so sorry for that, its just my opinion.
