Vanilla Infinite Resources Without Cheating Or Exploits

[MayaTKOTC]

In *Factorio: Space Age*, achieving infinite resource production using vanilla game mechanics without cheats or exploits is possible through a combination of renewable production systems and resource recycling. Here's how you can do it:

---

### 1. **Space Exploration and Infinite Resources**
- Once you reach the *Space Age* and explore other planets, you'll encounter infinite resource patches (e.g., ores that don't deplete but have low yield). Mining these patches can provide resources indefinitely.
- Use *Productivity Modules* and beacons to maximize resource extraction efficiency.

---

### 2. **Solar Power and Sustainability**
- Establish large-scale solar farms and accumulators for power. Infinite energy from solar panels powers your factories without relying on finite fuels like coal or oil.
- Solar panels and accumulators work particularly well on planets or moons with long day cycles.

---

### 3. **Fluid Reprocessing**
- Crude oil, water, and other liquids can be managed through renewable systems:
- **Oil Wells**: Once they deplete, they produce oil at a slower, infinite rate. Augment this with productivity modules.
- **Water**: Seawater or ground water is infinite, allowing the production of steam and other fluids.

---

### 4. **Resource Recycling**
- Build recycling systems for spent resources:
- **Uranium Recycling**: Spent fuel cells from nuclear reactors can be reprocessed to produce new fuel cells.
- **Circuit Recycling**: Disassemble unused or outdated items (like circuits or modules) to recover raw materials.
- Space exploration may include unique recycling technologies that allow reclaiming materials from used space structures or satellites.

---

### 5. **Biomass and Farming**
- Use space-age technology to create self-sustaining biomass farms:
- Cultivate biomass or algae on certain planets to produce infinite organic material for fuel or plastics.
- Convert biomass into solid fuel, rocket fuel, or other chemical products.

---

### 6. **Rocket Launch Automation**
- Rockets can be automated for infinite satellite launches. This produces infinite space science packs.
- Use production chains to maintain an endless cycle of rocket launches and space science research.

---

### 7. **Space Manufacturing**
- Space platforms allow for advanced automation and manufacturing:
- Create self-sustaining production systems that use asteroid mining and interstellar trading (if available) for infinite materials.
- Use advanced bots and logistics networks for automated material handling and transport between planets.

---

### 8. **Train Networks and Efficient Logistics**
- On planets with infinite patches, establish a comprehensive train network to bring mined resources to your base.
- Use logistic bots and advanced sorting systems to optimize delivery and processing.

---

### 9. **Advanced Resource Balancing**
- Plan for efficient use of resources:
- Avoid bottlenecks by prioritizing high-efficiency processing plants.
- Balance production chains to ensure no resource goes to waste.

---

By utilizing these strategies, you can set up a robust, renewable resource system that operates indefinitely, leveraging the game's mechanics without requiring exploits or cheats.

Note: I used ChatGPT because I can't write worth crap.

wow chatgpt is garbage. Moderator please remove this post.

Considering ChapGPT can't Factorio, you might want to pretend it does not exist the next time you want to try to help people. Some stuff in here is very very wrong.

Yeah. It's one thing to use it to help you rewrite your work. It's another to have it write the work for you from scratch, especially if you don't make sure it's correct after. Sooo many incorrect parts. Even the main premise ends up being wrong.

So I should build a fluid train line to bring lave from Volcanus to Nauvis, thanks ChatGBT!

[JustSmile]

At least read what your prompt outputted. This is a half-brained, useless jumble of Space Exploration content and stuff ChatGPT outright made up.

[god bless you]

Do we have lava barrel?
I don't see such kind of recipe.

[lawsen]

This is just terrible.

[HadToDoItToEm]

this is actually insane

[Serendipitous]

Is this new kind of automated jester farming?

It shows. You managed to write well enough to 'prompt' ChatGPT. You're probably better off to write stuff here and at least know that those seeing it will understand it. Maybe even can help "translate" it into better stuff.

ChatGPT is good at wasting electricity and collecting more user input to train the next model with. Other than that it has no 'real' useful purpose.

I think even the wiki says to use Speed modules over Production on pump jacks.

[Aranador]

I suppose this is the future of us all. AI generated stuff that seems OK at a glance, but look closer and you see the extra fingers and hands and the weird shadows and perspectives. And in a few generations, we'll think this is normal.

Production until the wells have degraded; then speed - is the way to go when oil supply is tight. You can play with the break even point a bit.

[Aestrea]

Isn't oil a infinite resource? It just degrades but never goes below a certain amount afterward and then you heavily beacon it and it becomes a active oil geyser forever.

That is true enough. The 'problem' is that the processing is often built around a certain supply level and the "base" value is too low. Adding the speed modules can boost it back to a useful rate, at the cost of more power and making beacons fit within the random placement of pumpjacks. Power itself is also infinite - if you build to supply that much. Just one more 'resource' to manage and include in you plans. Factorio, base or SA, is 'easy' with a plan designed for the puzzle, and even the biters can become trivial with a good plan.

i can't right worth crap, so i use ChatGPT
