#FACTORIO AUTOTRASH BOTS NOT REMOVING UPGRADE#

For a few fuel, you can light some trees in the middle of the forest on fire and just wait. A Combat shotgun with upgrades will decimate trees.įlamethrowers used to be like shotguns, but updates have made them far better. Shotguns are a bit slower initially, but with some upgrades can be a good solution as well. Poison Capsules take a little longer to get to, but have a large AOE which will kill just about any trees inside, simply coat the trees and wait a few seconds. Shotguns and Poison capsules are also decent. Very early game, they can destroy forests quickly and cheaply, and even into late game can be a solid choice over some of the other solutions. 13) they can 2 shot trees in a small-medium AOE.

They are cheep, costing only coal and iron plates, and with one damage upgrade (as of. Lastly, you can do this recycle system before blue chests, you just use iron chests and move the items by hand rather than bot.One of if not the best very early game solution is Grenades. This way any belts in the storage chests will be moved to the buffer chest and used before any more new belts are made. For example: circuit disable the inserter to 1k yellow belts, and then set the logistic request to 2k yellow belts. You put the chest between your two machines, limit the input to whatever value you want and via a circuit or logistic condition, and then set the logistic request of that chest to some higher value. The third category are lower tier items (like yellow belts, yellow inserters, and assembly machines). Or you can just do nothing, and as you continue to build and expand, the bots will pull from storage chests before passive providers, and refilling your inventory / your building train will drain your recycling. First, you can manually put them back in their mall provider chest, I usually do this for items not used much or items I'm phasing out (like steel furnaces). Remember that this does not have to be fast, so don't go overkill.įor end items (like lights or power poles), you have a few options.

For iron plates, do the same thing but at the end of your smelting lines. Start with ore, put a requestor for iron ore right before your iron smelting, and merge it in with a splitter. Once you get requestor chests, you can start recycling stuff from your storage chests. Once you get bots, a few storage (yellow) chests, where bots can put things they deconstruct or take out of your trash slots.īut the real fun comes when you research 'logistic system' and get requestor (blue) chests and buffer (yellow) chests. The first trash system is just a dump iron chest(s). I've never actually done it, but in principle it should work as long as you make sure that you don't protect the trash base with artillery as that will eventually stop biter attacks. Even though the storage chests will be low priority for the biters to attack, they should still attack it once it's 'in the way' - which it should be with the crush of biters being shoved against it. They'll push all the trash into the storage chests, which will be destroyed the next time biters attack and then the construction bots will rebuild it and you have another empty storage chest ready to accept garbage.

Then you just have to unload the garbage trains into active providers. Make sure it and it's ilk outside the walls are the only storage chests in the network. At that spot put down a storage chest - make sure it's in construction bot range. From the direction biters come from and just out of range of the guns, put down blue belts pushing biters towards a single spot. Include self-repair via roboport and automated delivery of repair materials, including more robots. Basically, build a fortified outpost whose job it is to get attacked by biters. There's also something I've been musing about, but it would be annoying to set up. Otherwise you can stick it in a rocket and get rid of it one small bit at a time. If it's burnable, stick it in a closed system powered by boilers that can use all the power that can be generated. If you're talking about destroying objects permanently in an automated way, there's only two ways of doing it:
