In the popular video game Factorio, users build and run factories, mine resources, and automate production processes. As the game progresses, players could accumulate extraneous materials or undesirable items.
We'll look at a few ways players can destroy objects in Factorio in this blog post. But first, check out this awesome Factorio dedicated server!
Destroying Chests with Guns or Grenades
One of the simplest and most commonly recommended methods of getting rid of unwanted items is to stuff them into a chest and then destroy the chest. Gamers can use grenades or shoot a gun at the chest (default keybinding: "C") to do this.
There is no need for any specialist equipment or resources for this easy technique. It should be noted by players that these means of destroying items might be messy and can damage nearby constructions or objects.
Burning Wooden Items in Furnaces, Boilers, or Trains
In Factorio, burning objects is another way to cause havoc. In boilers, furnaces, and railways, wooden chests and other wooden things, such as small power poles, can be burned. This is a simple yet efficient method that makes use of the furnaces, boilers, or trains that are already present in the player's factory. Keep in mind that this method might not work with other materials and is only effective on wooden objects.
Leaving Biters in Charge Biters are another tool that players can use to get rid of unwanted things. This means letting the locals handle the unwanted items, cursing with them, and leaving the automobile near a biter patch. This strategy may be risky and result in players losing, even though it may also be rewarding and pleasurable.
Using Requester Chests and Inserters
If players wish to destroy stuff automatically, they can use requester chests and inserters to feed unwanted products into burners or other tools of destruction. To request objects and feed them into an inserter, for example, if they have junk they need to destroy, players can create a requester chest.
If these are wood-based items, then a wider range may be needed. With this useful method, players can automate the demolition process. However, players need to be able to access inserters and requester chests.
Waiting for Trains or Trains to Destroy Things
Another technique to destroy goods in Factorio is to load up all unwanted objects into a wagon and wait for a train to pass by, stopping because the wagon is blocking the rails. The train will then destroy everything within the wagon once players have removed it.
This is an easy alternative that requires no resources because players can use the trains that are already in their factory. Recognize that because this method involves waiting for a train to pass, it can take longer than others.
Using Console Commands
Players in Factorio have access to a console as well as the aforementioned techniques for object destruction. Players can alter game settings, such as the game's speed and the amount of pollution it creates, using console commands. However, accessing the console could call for some coding experience and might be dangerous if not utilized correctly.
When using console commands, proceed with caution and consider the potential effects on the game's balance and integrity.
