Factorio Build Order
A quick reference guide for Factorio. I keep looking up various things on the web over and over and thought I would start compiling them in one place.
The build order presented here is a rough outline of what you can expect. Factorio is a balancing act of priorities and you can't plan for everything.
Now that being said I typically play on the railworld presets. So my build order resembles the need to push rail. Other map settings may require slight tweaking of building and research priorities.You can find my blueprints on my Factorio Blueprints Library post.
Again so this post is my notes on my build order others will do things differently as they have different goals or have different play styles.
