Nearing 100 game hours, which I know isn't much, but I'm hoping to put in some work to clean up this wiki since it's very inaccessible to new players
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Player Page Update Sandbox
Factorio is played from the top down perspective of your player character, who is always at the center of your view. You have five primary ways of interacting with the world:
- Crafting items and entities personally from resources using your craft menu (Default: E)
- Placing entities by selecting them from your inventory or toolbar and placing them on a tile (Default: LMB)
- Opening contextual menus for entities like Assembly Machines or Chests
- Removing an entity from the world, returning it to your inventory (Default: Hold RMB)
- Harvesting resources from a tile (Default: Hold RMB)
- Firing weapons at enemies (Default: Press or hold Spacebar depending on weapon)
- Picking up non-placed Items from the ground and placing them in your inventory (Default: Hold f)
For more key-bindings, see Keyboard bindings
In the process of building and expanding your factory, different pieces of equipment will be necessary from the first moments of game-play, starting with your first Iron axe.
Tools
Removing or harvesting placeable entities, Trees, Iron Ore, Copper Ore, Raw fish, Stone or Coal from the world requires effort and this is implemented by way of a progress bar that needs to fill uninterrupted in order to complete. Starting without a pickaxe (blank hand icon in the top left square in the display at the bottom right of the screen), it will take around two seconds to cut down a single tree. Since this is the sort of action required thousands of times over the course of a game, it is heavily recommended to craft an iron axe as your first action in the game.

The Iron axe is a tool used for the manual mining of resources, for cutting trees, and for collecting items deployed on the ground (so they can be placed elsewhere). They can also be used for melee fighting when the player is out of ammo.
They are mostly used in the beginning of the game where the player has no resources to set up drills to automatically mine, and when the better Steel axe cannot yet be made. It is possible to stack multiple Iron axes in the tool slot.
Durability
Durability of the Iron axe is consumed based on the "mining hardness" of what is being mined, at a rate of
Durability loss = Mining hardness × 60 × Duration (s)
For example, mining one coal that has a hardness of 0.9 and takes 2.08 seconds to mine consumes
Durability loss = 0.9 × 60 × 2.08 = 112.5 durability

Steel axes are tools used for the manual mining of resources, for cutting trees, and for collecting items deployed on the ground (so they be placed elsewhere). They are an upgrade from iron axes, in that they mine resources and collect placed-down items faster. They can also be used for melee fighting when the player is out of ammo.
They are used throughout the game after Steel processing (research) becomes available, primarily to move deployed items, since automatic mining of resources with drills is far easier and trees tend to be cleared in the early part of the game.
It is possible to stack multiple Steel axes in the tool slot.
Durability
Durability of the Steel axe is consumed based on the "mining hardness" of what is being mined, at a rate of
Durability loss = Mining hardness × 60 × Duration (s)
For example, mining one coal that has a hardness of 0.9 and takes 1.08 seconds to mine consumes
Durability loss = 0.9 × 60 × 1.08 ≈ 58 durability

Weapons
Eventually, whether in a peaceful game or not, you will need the capability to destroy the various Enemies that live on your world. This capability mostly comes in the form of Turrets for your base's defense, but personally in two broad categories for the player, more traditional weapons and capsules discussed below. To fire the main equip-able weapons, the weapon must be in your equipment bar in the bottom right corner of the screen somewhere on the top row (the first column is for pickaxes and armors), for the weapon to be selected with a red highlight (Default q to move the selection) and for appropriate ammunition for the weapon to be placed in the slot below it.
If all the preparation is done, fire the weapon with your target enemy key (Default: Spacebar) or your target cursor key (Default: c). Target enemy is a somewhat safe auto-aim that will snap to any enemy in range and begin firing at it for as long as the key is held down. Target cursor will fire your weapon in the direction of your cursor, which is mainly used to clear obstacles such as Trees and rocks that block placing things. Bear in mind that damage is calculated as a combination of weapon, ammunition and technology together.
Each player starts with a Pistol and ten magazines of Regular Magazine, which will fend off the first few biter attacks, but will quickly be insufficient against the growing alien forces.
Note regarding friendly fire: Pistols and Sub-machine guns are perfect for in-factory combat, as they have no area effects, however all other weapons use some form of spread or explosion which will likely lead to you causing far more collateral damage than the actual alien attack could hope to. Play with your rockets outside.
Pistol
The Pistol is the most basic weapon apart from using tools. It fires directly at the target nearest to the player's cursor. Unfortunately the Pistol can only handle the smallest of enemy threats and the player will frequently take damage. Players should upgrade to the Sub-machine gun for personal defense as soon as possible.
see Pistol
Sub-machine Gun
The Sub-machine gun is an upgrade from the Pistol. It fires the same ammunition and deals the same damage as the pistol, but with a much higher rate of fire.
see Submachine gun
Shotgun
The Shotgun is a basic but powerful weapon with a short range, damage, and ammo efficiency, but low rate of fire.
see Shotgun
Combat Shotgun
The Combat Shotgun is an advanced variant of the Shotgun that has a higher rate of fire and damage.
see Combat shotgun
Rocket launcher
The Rocket Launcher is a powerful, long-range weapon useful for clearing waves of enemies from afar, but with the high cost of ammunition.
see Rocket launcher
Flamethrower
The flamethrower is an advanced weapon best used against hordes of enemies or trees. It has a decent damage and also an area of effect damaging multiple Enemies at once, much like the Shotgun and Rocket launcher.
see Flamethrower
Tank Cannon
This is a special type of weapon only available in the Tank.
Armor
Once you've faced your first proper attack, you'll quickly come to learn how much damage you can handle, which is to say not much at all. Equipping a decent set of armor is therefore a priority. There are two subcategories of armor in the game, though early in the game you only have access to simple basic armor
Iron Armor
The Iron Armor is the first tier of armor, granting resistances to the player.
see Iron armor
Heavy Armor
The Heavy armor is the second tier of armor right after the Iron Armor, granting greater resistances and durability.
see Heavy armor
Modular Armor
From the mid-game onward, you will gain access to modular armors, offering higher resistances and durability along with the capacity to use various equipment known as modules.

Armor Modules
Once you have any modular armor you gain access to various general purpose enhancements, which can be free added or removed from any armor. While all of them are capable of fitting in even the Basic modular armor their usefulness greatly depends on player choice, there are no specific best modules, although some are made obsolete by later versions.

Portable solar panels are the basic power generating units for modular armor and the spidertron. They provide only a small amount of power, and only during the daytime.
Portable solar panels can be used to slowly recharge energy shields out of combat, but are nearly useless for personal laser defense or exoskeleton, even with a large number of batteries.
Portable solar panels are 1×1 in size and are therefore primarily used in modular armor, which has a 5×5 grid that cannot usefully hold a much more powerful 4×4 portable fusion reactor. (It could store one, but there would be no room for anything to use the power.)
The more advanced armors should almost always use portable fusion reactors instead.

Portable fusion reactors are advanced power generating modules for modular armor, power armor, power armor MK2 and the spidertron. They generate 750kW of power, equivalent to 25 portable solar panels, while taking up only a 4×4 area in the equipment grid.
Portable fusion reactors are an unlimited source of energy and require nothing to power them.
Portable fusion reactors are essential items for power armor and power armor MK2, as running the many other modules in these armors would take far too many solar panels to be practical.
Trivia
- The model is a reference to the movie Back to the Future, specifically the "Mr. Fusion" item on the back of the DeLorean. The "Mr. Fusion" is itself a riff on "Mr. Coffee," as the prop was a modified coffee maker.

The energy shield generates a basic protective shield that can absorb a small amount of damage.
Equipment modules can be used by placing them in the grid that opens by right clicking the armor.
The shield is effectively an extension of HP and has to be brought to 0 for the character to suffer any actual HP damage. Like actual HP, it benefits from the damage reduction attributes of its armor. All damage is split equally between shields, allowing all shields to recharge simultaneously. Energy shields are largely obsoleted by the Energy shield MK2, which offers a vastly increased HP buffer at the cost of demanding more energy per HP.
A shield's maximum recharge rate is based on its energy draw divided by the energy cost per shield point. At 240kW costing 20KJ per shield point, the energy shield MK1 recharges 12 HP per second and takes 4 seconds to recharge from 0 to 50HP. The overall energy demand is extremely high and will stress the suit's solar panels and fusion reactor, so use batteries to maintain your shields under fire.
Mk1 shields have an internal energy buffer of 120kJ, which effectively provide an additional hidden 6HP of shielding and add an extra .5 seconds to fully recharge.

The energy shield MK2 generates a stronger protective shield around the character, absorbing some damage.
The shield is effectively an extension of HP and has to be brought to 0 for the character to suffer any actual HP or armor damage. Like actual HP, it benefits from the armor's damage resistance. A cheaper version of it is the energy shield.
A shield's maximum recharge rate is based on its energy draw divided by the energy cost per shield point. At 360kW costing 30KJ per shield point, the energy shield MK2 recharges 12 HP per second and takes 12.5 seconds to recharge from 0 to 150 HP. All damage is split equally between shields, allowing all shields to recharge simultaneously.
The maximum shield recharge rate is limited by the suit's energy supply. A portable fusion reactor will only sustain 2 MK2 shields under fire (or 3 MK1 shields) while portable solar panels are only good for a few recharges per day. Because of the high energy demand, it is can be useful to complement shields with modular batteries, as they will maintain shield recharge under fire.
The Energy Shield Mk2 has an internal energy buffer of 180kW, which effectively adds a hidden 6HP and additional .5 seconds to recharge.

Nightvision is a kind of equipment module. It can be used by placing it in the grid that opens by right clicking the armor.
Having nightvision in the armor during the night changes the standard vision at night to be brighter with a gray overlay that drains non-lit areas of color. Unlike other items such as exoskeletons or shields, equipping multiple night vision units has no effect. Nightvision turns off and requires no energy during the day time.
Nightvision require a suit energy supply to function. Unfortunately its complementary tech portable solar panel does not provide energy at night, and the Nightvision's internal buffer of 120 kJ will quickly drain in a few seconds. Getting initial use out of Nightvision requires charging a modular battery to stay online over night.

The Personal laser defense is a module that can be inserted into modular armor and the spidertron, it provides a basic laser defense system.
It automatically targets and fires at nearby enemies, and, unlike hand-held weapons, doesn't slow the player down when firing. It consumes power after it fires (to recharge), so it doesn't necessarily need batteries. Stacking multiple personal laser defenses in the modular armor provides more lasers to attack at once. Each shot costs 50kJ of energy; as the shooting speed increases through upgrades, so does the power required to keep firing.
The personal laser defense will fire at enemies nearby even if the player is inside a vehicle.

A basic capsule that creates a large, long-lasting cloud of at the target area, dealing 8 poison damage twice a second, totaling to 320 poison damage over 20s. The damage from multiple poison capsules can stack. This is one of the most effective ways of removing trees.
Poison capsules can be used to effectively kill worms as they are stationary. This technique is a relatively safe and cheap way to eliminate clusters of worms - it takes 3 poison capsules to kill a big Worm and the capsules can be thrown from outside the big Worm's spitting range. Since spawners are not affected by poison damage, poison capsules are useless against them.
Poison capsules do not harm the player's structures, robots or vehicles, but do harm players themselves unless they are in a vehicle. Poison capsules are particularly effective when deployed from the tank, as the tank can park inside a cloud of poison to lure enemies to their death.

Follower robot count: Defender capsule and Destroyer capsule are limited in how many robots can actually be used by your Follower robot count research. Attempting to deploy more robots beyond the amount allowed will cause the oldest existing combat robot to instantly explode until the total number returns to this limit. Distractor capsules do not count and can be deployed in whatever numbers the player can put out.

Achievements
Minions Have 100 combat robots or more following you. |
Strategy
Follower robots will only loosely follow the player and are subject to inertia. This allows the player to 'swing' packs of follower robots into enemy bases to damage enemy structures with less risk to himself. Launching distractor capsules into the enemy base, as well as using the speed of the car or exoskeleton can further reduce damage to the player.
Count Limit
The maximum number of active Defender robots is limited by the follower robot count research. While using follower robots, the number of robots in-use will be visible on an icon to the right of the quick-bar. Hovering over the icon with the cursor will show the types of robots and the currently researched maximum.
