He says that he puts twice the amount of minimum in filter manipulators to avoid situations where a train would be departing to restock a single stone wall, but he doesn’t put twice the amount? I don’t understand this moment
@LaurencePlays
@LaurencePlays 21 сағат бұрын
I guess I wasn't clear enough - when there's no walls in stock, the signal is -100 because of the combinator. When the train comes to restock the station, it will unload until the signal reaches 100 walls, which means there'll be 200 in the chest (200 walls, -100 from the combinator = 100 on the signal). This is what I meant by having twice the minimum. "I'll set my numbers up so I have twice the minimum" meaning "I'll set the number on the filter inserter such that I get twice the minimum in the chest when it unloads". Does that help? 🙂

@@LaurencePlays Oh yes, thank you for taking the time to answer. I had given it some thought and figured it out after around 10 minutes, after which I forgot to edit my comment. Your answer is very clear at explaining it! It’s like an integer that goes both in a negative and a positive directions, so you should think from -100 to 100 all the way, giving 200 as a result. 👍 Great video!

it took me 519 hours to win the game with SE+K2 (first playthrough). So far the most fun game I have ever played in my life, I dont feel it was too complex, still nowhere compared to like Pyanodon, but since I can complete the base game in like 4 hours, it was enough challenging. Ive been waiting now almost a year for factorio 2.0 or SE 0.7 to start a new game with it, and now 3 weeks later we have space age, im a little bit afraid to play SE+K2 with space age because I think it is going to ruin the game with these mods, probably most mods wont be compatable with space age. So i dont know what to do know because I want to play this game so much again, but space age is just too big update, and I feel like 0.7 SE is also somewhere close, maybe next year to play with.

I agree - it's a great mod and feels a lot bigger and more varied than AngelBobs, and perhaps than Py too, although I've not played Py. I think the mods will all need to be updated for 2.0, but I expect most will keep their functionality. I agree though; I'm really looking forward to seeing what Earendel does in the next version of Space Exploration with the 2.0 engine changes. (incidentally, SE 0.7 is now going to be just the updates to make it work with Factorio 2.0, the big new version will be 0.8)

I think a critical event of sorts for the biters would be good. Similar to the CMIs. So a biter event lasting 1-5 mins with biters that are buffed to hell and back. These events could vary in intensity depending on planet. I enjoyed SE. Now over the halfway mark with Seablock. Once I automated ships I brought back most off nauvi materials in a crushed or further processed state. I also did create a 'hub'. The exception being iridium. I was sending rockets full of ingots to the asteroid field for naq crushing and to nauvi for the material science and space cables after using circuits to fix my deadlocks. Normal resources like copper, iron and stone I ended up finding huge patches in a few asteroid belts. These I used in combination with automated ships to top up Norbit and Nauvi. It did feel like a pain trying to source the default resources on Nauvi. Having dedicated areas for different resources helped a lot. Just having to clear 1000s of tiles for a few million iron wasn't enough when there is a 30m patch calling for me in space. I really enjoyed watching your streams and your recaps. Would really like to see you cover the DLC.

That could be interesting (and horrifying!) - an event that triggers every spawned biter to run towards the centre of the factory at the same time! Thanks, I hate it. 😀 We did consider bringing raw materials back to a central processing area, but especially early on in the game the logistics cost felt too high - resources compress down so far when you process them that you can get away with a fraction of the rockets. I think I said it was something like 1/8 the rockets for iridium ingots vs crushed iridium? We had plenty of most of the mundane resources coming from core mining, although we did eventually need to tap a stone planet and an iron planet just to keep the ratios right. Space mining we never really did, apart from methane ice and naquium... I shall definitely be covering Space Age when it comes out! Watch this space (age)!

I skip Nauvis orbit and set up directly at the outer asteroid belt (so much water ice out there and all other resources already there. I do launch full loads of single resources though, to it.

I just transfer all exotic materials from all planets as core fragments straight to Nauvis with these arcolinks, so basicly have only 2 bases which is Nauvis and Nauvis Orbit, on other planets I only have core miners and power to run them. Since core miners never run out of materials, this system can run literally forever. Much easier to manage the logistic system since its just Nauvis and it's Orbit and was easy to upgrade everything to T9 modules and max tier buildings.

what you should have said about Purple chest was that they are great for disassembling builds and belts and chests that have alot of item on them, this prevents the construction bots from getting all busy carrying resources 1 by 1 from chests or belts and by putting the resources or emptying belts into purple chest you give this job to logistic bots that have bigger inventory and carrying capabilities.

The 23 second rocket flight times with either clocks, or less elegant solutions like using blue inserters to introduce lag in the construction process. 2. Loading a full rocket with precise stack counts by also taking into consideration the inserter capacities into the sum total. 3. Dealing with high priority items that result in partially filled rockets, by filling the remaining stack slots when this happens.

You could reduce the overflow by controlling the inserters directly, but you'd still get a bit from hand size. You could get round that by telling the stack inserter to stop when it's within 12 of being full, and have another inserter set to a stack size of 1 - this is what Foxxo did with the design I talk through in kzbin.info/www/bejne/eX3Nk6Z6bbl-mdk so you might want to check this one out, it covers a lot of the sort of points you mention!

I've just finished researching DSS2 and looking into arcospheres. I've got train based megabasr constructed in orbit and ground connected by space elevator (K2SE playthtough). So far every city block was specialised for 1 thing each. With arcospheres it looks like transporting them via trains and using a central block for balancing them is out of picture. Can't use big balancers in each card block cause each of them would need quite a few spheres to work properly. So my final idea was either making a megablock for all machines using arcospheres or using smaller recipes specificly for blocks they are used in. It would need less arcospheres, allow upbuilding each block seperately, allow to continue using cityblock setup I've been using so far, but have to find a recipe strings for each block. Tristan's way is exactly what I had in mind. Can you share his excel file? I have real hard time figuring out how recipes interact with each other

@@hayzersolar That's weird - I can't comment on how KZbin handles payments though, I'm afraid! The other possibility is to subscribe through ko-fi.com/laurenceplays and send me a message on there with your Discord username and I'll add it in manually. That's actually better for me too because Kofi takes a smaller percentage than KZbin.

When i start my ship in space, the ion engine explode... why?

I've never had that happen, but I've been informed that it can happen if you've got the wrong type of floor under it - make sure you've only used spaceship floor and not scaffolding. Essentially, the engine isn't properly part of the ship!

Great tutorial dude!!! Managed to finally make it click for me, you know how to layout things in laymen’s terms very well, that’s the mark of an expert educator.

You're an actual savior man. These high quality tutorials are hard to come by sometimes when it comes so smaller games like factorio, so many thanks.

Thank you for that session. Was fun watching. Wow. Your base is looking great. With a great teacher too. My first base was crammed together. Thats my input from a player with 4500 hrs of play...... and no life! cant wait for your next episode.

@@cptcarter1st Thanks for the praise! Yeah, she's doing very well. I'm definitely not being completely hands off with her, as you can see, but trying to give vague hints but basically let her build however she wants. I don't want it to look like just any other base, I want something unusual and different!
