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.

Applying a tech research cost multiplier to a Seablock run
Using a planner like YAFC, Foreman, Helmod, and Factory Planner is highly recommended. Also, the following mods are recommended for a megabase needed to finish a high-multiplier game:

Py, but at work.
It's not a website but try YAFC. It's the best planner for Py.

Fresh meat to the grinder
Planning tools/mods come in many shapes and sizes. I personally like Helmod but it took a while to learn it. There is also Factory Planner. Or external tools like Foreman or YAFC.
