They are unbelievably versatile, and you can use them to do almost anything you want when it comes to shipping exact quantities of resources in exact orders to exact positions.īut for now, let's just start with one powerful lesson about belts which beginners may not have realised: you can use each side of a belt to carry different types of resources. So don't be afraid to spread things out.īelts are wonderful things in Factorio. Problems arise if you build your factory too compact: often, you'll find yourself having to deconstruct far more than necessary in order to make a simple change to one part of your factory. Factorio worlds are staggeringly large, and you always have more than enough room to space out smelting modules from mining patches, and leave plenty of room for belts and later improvements to your factory. Tip #4: Don't be afraid to spread things outĪ key mistake that new Factorio players make when they start their first factory is that they don't spread things out enough.
If you need some help figuring out what your initial goals should be at the start of a game of Factorio, you should absolutely check out our Factorio early game walkthrough guide! What we're talking about when we say "goals" is the next tiny step you can take to develop your factory, preferably something you can complete in the next twenty minutes or perhaps the current play session. Your end-goal is to build and launch a rocket, but that is far too large a project to tackle in a single step. So, it's up to you to set your own goals. Tip #3: Plan your goals out ahead of timeįactorio is an incredibly open-ended game, and there is very little hand-holding. Why not have this nice little quality of life feature from the very beginning, so that you can queue up all your desired technologies in the research tree ahead of time instead of having to hop back into the research screen every time you finish your latest technology? For some reason, by default you will only be able to queue up research once you've finished the game (by launching your first rocket) - but that just seems strange to me. Tip #2: Set your Research Queue availability to alwaysĪnother good option to set before you've even started your first game is to head into the Advanced tab of your game setup and set your Research Queue to be always available. This gives you lots more breathing room to expand your factory and get set up with some basic weaponry and defences before you go and pick a fight with the nearest Biter nest. This means that Biters won't attack you until you attack them for the first time. If you're just starting with Factorio, we'd recommend you set your first world to Peaceful Mode in the game options. Indigenous creatures called Biters will start to attack you as your factory grows and starts to pollute their home - and they can make life pretty difficult for you, particularly in the early game before you have proper defences set up. While you might be the only human on the entire planet in Factorio, you certainly aren't the only living thing. Tip #1: Set to Peaceful Mode for an easier start
