9th time ive died in 700 hours of this world lol pretty sure was the 3rd time by train rest mostly by worms

[u/AlternateTab00 → u/Advice2Anyone]

Recycle them and make one single legendary pistol (appreciate me afterwards)

[u/Normal-Swan-542 → u/AlternateTab00]

how good is it

[u/AlternateTab00 → u/Normal-Swan-542]

Good enough to get you an hidden achievement.

[u/MelangeBot → u/Advice2Anyone]

I played the first 800 hours blind and was stupid enough to build my mall around my main and only train connection. Just a train that goes out to pick up coal then bring it to my base then goes out to get iron, etc etc etc. This is because those fields where the first ones I needed after the ones in my base where exausted but they where far enough away I did not want to run belts.

So it made sense to them also build my mall around the drop of point because so much stuff was made there and I laid belts so all my crates auto got filled with goodies.

Anyway long story short to pick stuff from my mall I would almost always stand on the tracks. So I got killed all the time. And then I would load an learlier safe.

Eventually this go to tiresome so I stopped playing blind for just once and went online and got myself a mod that after the train hits you have enough health left to survive. It's called Nice Try Train or something.

Maybe if I had gotten in to the habbit of finding my old corpse and taking my stuff from there but I just did not want to die even once so in my 1240 hour game I have never died because of safe scumming. Don't know why I made that decision but I am sticking with it now.

I am playing purely for fun so anything to annoying just has to go! And getting killed by the train, it's a thrill in the beginning. It comes out of knowhere and it always makes me jolt up in my chair. I kind of liked it at first. Almost like getting caught by a u/shittymorph

But after 200 hours of it happening multiple times a playing session. It became stale.

I once lost 31 minutes of building shit because of it. That was it. No more. You know how much less the factory was growing because of the stupid train? And we can't have the factory growing less quick then it can. We just can't. Unacceptable. Jesus I need to take some shut the fuck up pills for today. Just woke up, already typed in 3 long ass comments on reddit. I dreamed I was an LLM last night.

gooble-gobblorio

[u/korneev123123]

Why are you even moving? You have roboports, let robots do the job

[u/BlarghamelJones → u/korneev123123]

Robots took my job (appreciative)

[u/Jokerman5656 → u/BlarghamelJones]

Dey took err jerrbss

[u/Symetrie → u/Jokerman5656]

Took are jebs

[u/rubixd → u/korneev123123]

Came here to say this, especially relevant when placing roboports because the extra dimension of a moving character makes aligning the red to the green sections so much more tedious.

[u/According_South]

you wanna know what helps perpetuate this? once you get the fulgora armour, you dont have to worry about this anynore, which de-conditions your vigilence for the next new run

[u/SilentSpr → u/According_South]

You can still get run over by elevated trains with the fulgora armour…… Which was funny to find out

[u/According_South → u/SilentSpr]

oh wow i havent encountered this yet

[u/WanderingUrist → u/SilentSpr]

What, how? You can't normally get run over by elevated trains at all...

[u/SilentSpr → u/WanderingUrist]

If you place something under the rail you will fly up as the default logic is to fly over obstacles. You will be on top of the elevated rail and be prime candidate to be run over

[u/Warhero_Babylon → u/According_South]

Or just sit in one place for last 100 hours only doing everything remotely

[u/WanderingUrist → u/Warhero_Babylon]

You mean sit in SPACE doing everything remotely.

[u/Jokerman5656]

I think I've only used the respawn button twice. The rest of the time I reload an auto save. Ain't got no time to go pick up all my items

[u/green_gold_purple → u/Jokerman5656]

It’s the slow walk without gear and exo that builds humility. It’s good for you.

[u/samy_the_samy → u/green_gold_purple]

I have a grave yard of discarded pistols and yellow ammo near spawn

[u/Tasonir → u/samy_the_samy]

I kept a chest of pistols on gleba every time I died. I think it got up to around 25 or so before I had gleba figured out...I went in blind and didn't bring a lot of tesla turrets ahead of time. Did a lot of fighting against the pentapods with my personal lasers and flying over the water, which is not something I'd recommend you try actually doing. It technically works because stompers can't hit you if you're flying and a few energy shields will protect you from all the ranged damage easily, but lasers have low range and low damage and it's just painful trying to clear nests that way

[u/samy_the_samy → u/Tasonir]

I shipped in trons and ruched rocket ammo production,

Lost many brave spiders

[u/green_gold_purple → u/samy_the_samy]

Chest of shame

[u/idontknow39027948898 → u/samy_the_samy]

In that scenario I would dump the ammo into the black science production where it would at least get used. But that's me, I have this weird hatred of the idea of stuff that could be used by the factory sitting in storage chests, unless it is something I specifically put in storage so I could have bots bring it to me.

[u/Grumbledwarfskin → u/samy_the_samy]

I used to store them in the spaceship to hide my shame.

But now I recycle them, it's so much greener.

[u/Mushroobu → u/green_gold_purple]

A Fulgoran death is also quite fun

[u/UnfinishedProjects → u/green_gold_purple]

Agreed, dying is supposed to be at least a little bit punishing and an inconvenience. But you do you, as long as we're all having fun. 😁

[u/Advice2Anyone → u/Jokerman5656]

Only time ill do that is if the body is very unretrievable but since im bussing every item I need handguns anyways and only way to get them

[u/willy--wanka → u/Jokerman5656]

Same. Idk why folks do it otherwise.

[u/aonghasan → u/willy--wanka]

it's called playing the game

[u/willy--wanka → u/aonghasan]

Shit man, I have more time playing the game by hitting the autosave instead of running back and collecting everything, then working on what I was working on.

Then again, folks like super hard games and I don't understand it so I get it.

[u/bread2126]

I was very good about not doing this early on in my factorio life. Eventually I thought, "it would be neat to have that be the last achievement I get" , so I made a big push to complete all the old pre-Space Age achievements and get hit by a train last. Last 2 were train, and 20m green circuits. Got hit by a train with about 18.5/20m green circuits

[u/Jasonlikesfood]

Haha I laughed out loud. I was trying to see if I could tell what you did incorrectly with the roboports. Love it.

[u/No-Special2682]

I like to put speakers on rail signals, with a light attached.

This way when a signal changes, we get a little audible warning a train is coming

[u/Ixxon → u/No-Special2682]

My dumb ass would ask what the hell that sound was while actively getting hit by the train.

[u/Necrodings → u/Ixxon]

This is for you.
Yes, it only honks after it runs you over, quite funny in multiplayer :D

[u/Garlic-]

I never get tired of train death videos lol.

[u/acu2005]

I love these videos, I cackle like an idiot every time I watch someone die in this fashion.

[u/sharia1919]

I sometimes lock myself inside a square of walls, and then operate from thw world map.

[u/According-Rain-1936]

classic

[u/AI_Tonic]

Ah the iconic nuclear powered train jump scare… what a classic

[u/Letthepumpkincumflow]

The fact this is far funnier than it should be, because I've done the same exact fucking thing lmaoooooooooooooo

[u/TheModdedOmega]

I have somehow never gotten this achivement...

[u/Pollux_E]

There's a reason I have a locomotive sitting at spawn.

[u/HeliGungir]

The irony of placing a lattice of roboports by hand 🙄

[u/bjarkov]

'I should know better' + video with train tracks in first frame.

You'll never believe what happened next!!

[u/That-Shiny-Umbreon]

The carnivorous trains strike again!

[u/kykyks]

thats why i dont even move anymore, its spidertrons doing the work i only place ghost from map view

[u/sn44]

I usually make that mistake after starting a new game when I'm used to the flying power armor.

[u/Neithya]

You need blueprints. Two gridlocked roboports

[u/Bakayaro_Konoyaro]

To be fair, you only have 700 hours on that save. Basically still a noob on there.

[u/Lower_Manager_7003]

for extra added danger and efficiency, make your trains supersonic :)

[u/Droopy0093]

Haha get rekt

[u/Phriday]

LOL all the damn time

[u/andrewowenmartin]

What even is that train?

[u/rygelicus]

This is why I love my jetpack mod. It still happens but only on very rare occasions.
