Yeah, when you look at the numbers in the whole “lemmyverse” it really puts it into contrast, i just assumed there was already more activity in these websites than there was!
I have seen a few posts around about what kind of communities are missing from the lemmy and what people want to see, its what initially drove me to search for the factorio community, so it is clear just how many are getting created constantly.
I like the approach you are taking with it though, to just let it be a space to discuss the game that isn’t necessarily in competition or in parallel with the subreddit or other factorio forums, but just exists as a place for people to post in and share about the game!
Thaks for getting back, I look forward to community that can grow here!
I really do need to try the flame turrets, hundreds of hours and i’m still just reliant on the lasers, they’re just so little hassle to pick up and replace, but i image the flame turrets will be with a couple of blueprints.
I still die often enough to biters even with the bots and a spider to not want to try rampant yet, but thats more to me being clumsy, in the same way i blow myself up plenty with the spider too!
But i suppose with the map i’m playing currently being railworld-esque i have to push further into them than I would normally, at least it is easier with the expansion off.
