Hi,
I have made a 140K SPM base with about 164 rocket launches "per second" - except of course not in real time.
Even the Nitrado server went to his knees.
I then tore the whole setup down and wanted to redo the base with focus on staying within 60 UPS.
I also wanted to add IR, but without a complete restart of the game.
I know it might not be the best idea to do this. I ran into 2 issues.
First is that there is IR steel and Krastorio steel and they are not compatible.
This results in IR steel to get carried away by bots - I did not figure out where, but its neither request boxes nor storage boxes - the additional steel also does not show in the network inventory.
Second would be that while I reached (somewhat proud) mining productivity of 264 in Krastorio - after the installation of IR the costs for this tech went from about 12M science to just one science.
With the dawn of the very exciting Krastorio 2 mod, I bet there will be not much time from the developers to look into such issues.
Krastorio was the reason I bought Factorio and it was a very interesting journey to learn the game. A big thank to the devs for so much amazing and free work, support and implementation with mods like IR.
I am really looking forward to Krastorio 2 and if there are any new updates or sneak previews - please let us know.
Thank you!!
JR
