I want to use rails, I really do. But migrating and new colonies of beasts always destroy my railroads. Sure I can put turrets to protect them but that defeats the purpose. And if I just use artillery trains they still attack the rails. So I need roboports along the track to repair it. So I need electricity. All things considered it's just as efficient and much less difficult to just lay belts, no matter how far it is.

Am I doing it wrong?

Ha, I've only played factorio once. It was a wild ride. But now whenever I try to play I'm constantly aware that I should be doing something more productive.

I won but never used trains. I didn't seem to need them.

I have nothing constructive to tell you. I just wanted to say I like that game too.

If he's talking about launching a rocket then that's hardly "beating" factorio.

endgame bases and measured in how many rockets they launch per second
