On Discord, someone told me that if you pick up a tank that has petroleum gas in it, you should be able to handcraft plastic. But apparently that isn’t true?
fun fact, the eponymous blog has the name Alt-F4 to pay homage to the quick crafting menu

My Space-Exploration Base after 250 hours
This is my Space Exploration 0.5 base after around 250 hours. I started in December 2020 of the Alt-F4 public SE server inspired me. I've completed all four tiers of the four space sciences, and they all fit in my lovely Doughnut Base (TM). And I must admit, Space Exploration has probably been the most fun I've had in a Factorio playthrough. The mechanics, logitistic puzzles, feeling of exploration, graphics, and pure design. It could just as well be the official expansion of Factorio. Well done Earendel for truely creating a masterpiece!

Factorio and STEM Careers
Hi all! I'm currently writing a piece for Alt-F4 about how Factorio (and other similar games) have inspired me to go into STEM, specifically robotic engineering. For the piece, I would love to know if you have any stories about how Factorio has inspired you to study STEM further, helped you pick a future career or even just impacted your current job.

3 to 1 balancer problem: why the loop?
I hope this is somewhat understandable now. If you create your own Balancers and want to check if they do what you think you can use the Belt Balancer tool.
