My (short) quest to eat a legendary fish

[u/Crawling_Chaos78]

Yesterday, I decided I wanted the achievement, so I started tinkering with an upcycler. Starting out with my usual method of crafting commons, upcycling, and using those components in quality recipes, I quickly realized that dealing with quality nutrients was not for me lol

After about an hour, I was pretty happy with the posted design, and even added an alarm for when either storage chest had a legendary fish. I started it up and quickly realized my biter egg production wasn't going to keep up. So I shut it down and shifted to increasing egg production.

As tends to happen in this game, I got sidetracked by correcting power issues on my quantum chip upcycling platform, constraining some out of control coal production on Vulcanus, and adjusting legendary ice production. By the time I finished beefing up eggs, I was ready to call it a night.

Finally get around to booting up today and immediately start up the fish upcycler. After a couple minutes, I hear an unfamiliar ringing that sounds like it's coming from outside my window. Pause the game to go see what it is, and the ringing stops.

Yep, my little monstrosity had already spit out a legendary. Good on me for using an alarm sound I never had before haha

I'll never get tired of this game.

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Tell the man about some legendary fish and he will waste his day looking for them"

or something like that.

Haha yeah I did something similar. Built a huge fish production and upcycler to get the legendary fish. Then had to increase egg production for nutrients.

I had like 5 legendary fish in a few minutes. Left the set up going for a bit before finally tearing it down.

I had the same experience literally yesterday! I thought my PC’s fan was broken because it was overheating, so I promptly closed the game, only to realise that the sound was the drum clap alarm telling me the fish was ready!

It took me a moment to realise this was about Factorio and not Stardew Valley!

I just ordered bots to bring all the fish from water covered by logistics network, and put it all into recycler. Bam, legendary fish.
