I transfer coal with train and send back my oil related goods. The second base is where I produce all my oil related production. I thought that further manufacturing will be extremely polluting which would attract attacks. I broke this mechanic just by mere presence. They never attack me nor they are never an obstacle to me. However, they are non present in this game. I spend entire game just standing and thinking how to do stuff. I then just lowered my pollution level and attacks stopped. Throughout entire playthrough, I got only a random attacks. Even if I would set bitters to maximum aggressiveness, they would just refuse to attack me. Now, pollution and bitters had me scratching my head even when I played during beta. This pretence comes at expense of gameplay. This also makes me feel that game is inconsistent when it wants to be realistic and when it wants to be just a game. However, this technology just seems just as a cheat code where you are getting more stuff for free. Maybe someone could prove me wrong by showing similar real life process. However, what the hell Kovarex enrichment process is supposed to be? I checked out what actual enrichment process is and it is seperation of trace amounts of U-235 from U-238. I heard argument that drop rate is good, because it is realistic. Life is pretty good in Factorio world, eh? Another free energy generator after conveyor belts where you get more and more stuff ad infinitum. It is basically just another freebie in this game for players to make gameplay unnecessary simple. Kovarex enrichment process in itself looks like a terrible thing. This whole deal feels like opening lootbox after lootbox. However, I can't produce any U-235 for Kovarex enrichment process. I hundreds of nuclear fuel lying around for dozens upon dozens of hours gameplay. Now I increased mining operation to get more of it, but it is again the same situation. Then I ran into a long string of poor luck where it just did not dropped no matter what. Initially, I went on just fine for many hours with a lot of nuclear fuel in reserve. This is insanely low drop rate which had resulted in long black outs due to my poor luck extracting it. However, I came to dislike one thing with nuclear energy. Solar panels generating power during night, etc. Entire game is like that, it is missing whole dimensions of complexity. In reality coal power plants would generate a steady stream of trash which you would have to automatise of getting rid of. No, it is not even remotely realistic and it will not work like that in real life. As a senior engineer working in electricity/gas company I can't help, but to cringe on how simplified this whole process is. However, I do think that Factorio players are getting a lot of freebies. He probably talked out of his behind like he loves to do. My friend said that there was, but it was removed/not added in order not to cheese biters in this game. I was wondering why there isn't any wind or geothermal electricity in this game. Factory does not care about unstable power supply. The first thing which I had noticed is how OP is solar panels.
