fluid heavy episode. cant wait for fusion here! nukes are great till you have to ship uranium.

I think efficiency modules can only reduce something to 20% electrical consumption at most! So 2 Tier 3 Efficiency modules is -100% which technically isn't utilizing them both since it caps at -80%

i'm gonna go ahead skip any more games by keen software house. they are total scam artists (over promising, under delivering, abandoning games, etc..) and with SE2 they are at it again. it seems to me that everything promised in SE2 was already promised in SE1, but either failed to deliver or scrapped from the plan entirely so that they could rush the whole buggy mess to release, and start pumping out dlc. most people imagine this game will be 'technic lego in spaaaace', but get distracted by the unintuitive controls and slow game grind, and don't notice its actually 'duplo lego' XD

Huh, I usually prefer to do the nilaus's strategy of handfeeding a few chests plates so it gets turned into green chips and belts. Then I do my own design where I put down a gear assembler and surround it with red science buildings and a lab next to em, usually put like 4 labs since it's good enough. It takes a while until you need to refill copper though central assembler for gears are very iron hungry, so I sometimes put a chest nearby that feeds iron. At minimum I research electric miners, fast inserters and logistics for undergrounds and splitters. That setup let's me research with low focus and spend my focus on expanding my miners for more base resource. After that I make a base that will take me from that pathetic state up to chemical science. Funnily enough I'm restarting my game again, so I might try your blueprint for a proper base ( I keep restarting since I enjoy early game and find that disassembling my base kills my motivation and feel like a fresh start will let me come back soon) since I'm not gonna do silly restrictions like no quality, no infinite research, since as a person in discord pointed out - bro you haven't beaten space age and already going for 4x science cost???

Those Space Platforms look so 3D! 😅. Also looks prettier than Empyrion atm. I liked Space Engineers long ago and far away… Idr why I stopped playing it. I remember the drones were a pain, and the landscape like on the moon was too sparse or something. Ty for leading the way, I’ll watch you and then decide… it can be an extraordinary time sink, but how many do I need? Idk!

These are pretty neat! I like that it can be tuned and upgraded during a push towards unlocking bots and other essentials. It doesn't do everything but doesn't need to. It can use some minor fixes and of course tweaks for personal preference.

Any chance you can do an in depth tutorial that can make me an expert on circuits? Could be a multi video series if you want. I have been struggling with this since 2.0 changes. I usually try to understand blueprints before I use them but lately this circuit stuff is going way over my head.

Fusion reactors output higher temperature with active neighbors not increased fluid-output. The generators then output more energy based on the temperature (therefore using less if the temperature is higher). Anyways, nice blueprint as usual. Thanks!

Cool stuff :D

How do you hook up the "Fuel Me" Train Stop to this system. With your "Important Note" @ 11:54, you cant have a unloading station with a different wagon size than other unloader stations. I dont want to limit say "all Fuel Type X" loading/unloading stations to be only 1 wagon.

I like this, after the simple early science packs, getting blue science going efficiently has always been tough for me. Going to give this a try on my next game.

I like your vibe. And I need to learn more ablut factorio. Im subscribing

wait is that right only turns on sacret path trains?

what is the mod that puts the planet in the background?

Yo! Might just be a coincidence but dang those upcyclers look crazy similar to mine. Just curious on if it's coincidental or inspired? Crazy cool either way😎 edit: just saw the original video on your version that I have to say, is definitely an upgrade from mine. I recently made my own upgrade as well if you're interested

Uh oh, what am I missing? Why do you need so much Calcite hauling? I've only watched your first episode or 2 on Gleba because it added complexity I was not up to yet... but maybe I'll have to, to understand why I need to bake in hauling Calcite for later use?

Nice design. Thanks!

Just found out a secret quality perk. Higher quality night vision makes it basically 24 daylight. I know you don't want to hear this but it negates the need for lights

not sure if im just misinterpretting this but with the quality upcycler blueprint, the recycler inserters seem to be receiving the signal for all qualities regardless of whether i have enough of that quality edit: actually, it seems to be just the legendary that are doing that. its receiving the legendary signal despite not having any legendaries at all

ive been using red and green wires on roboports more, to control production lines relative to logistics network values instead of backed up belts. is there a way for a requestor chests request to automatically be propogated all the way to another planet? using combinators and the rocket silo, with "set requests/filters" somewhere, can you make a fully automated sayyyyy fluid barreling system on one planet, whos fluids and barrels are requested all the way on other planets? use logs to track barrel recycling rates too, to avoid backups

Comment for the algorithm. Im still quite a bit away from my next start of factorio, but I hope then I remember to watch this.

First thought as i look, by 2 minutes, jump startt base 1: slightly more expensive, but use a single underground belt on the iron/gear belt in the corner with the second gear output inserter so it blocks the iron but lets the gears flow. Edit: literally 3 seconds later i see why not. Derp.

Neat, I'm running through a new playthrough now with high density resources spread far apart so I can practice trains again. This will be nice to get through the early game into bots to make that transition a lot smoother!

Welcome back you handsome green jar

Short and Sweet! Onto the glebinator!

How do you see the planet when in orbit view?

how many assemblers do i need to fill uranium fuel cell production for the 4 reactor setup?

The +1 train if drop off full actually scales out and becomes worse, especially if you're provider stations outnumber your dropoff points. 2 loaders for 1 drop off with a 1 train limit? You'll probably end up with two trains full of cargo in the depot. Unless you can pulse a signal and track it at a single coordinator or read contents of trains in motion i don't see a way to solve that tho.

dude stop moving so much im trying to study the dang build

I really like this video! Only try to move the camera/screen a bit less hectic.

That HD planett mod is so nice

i skipped the intro, and learned nothing.

UPDATED BLUEPRINT! factoriobin.com/post/2ucpoy This version is even more clean for the circuitry, making use of parameterization even more, plus fixes a couple bugs.

This would be impossible for me to trust it to work. Bots are stupid, they constantly get stuck on charging ports and not doing what they should be doing. If bots acted right I could see doing this.

Hey there. I'm having trouble with this set up. My Inserter wont pull the eggs out even though I have everything set up like yours in the video. I have it set to use filters with nothing in the filter slot at all, and the circuit condition to set stack size. Is it supposed to have the "Set Filters" setting clicked? I don't think you showed that in the video. Please let me know if you can! Thank you!

I may have asked you this question before, but can I transition from my coal fired plants to nuclear keeping the coal fired plants as a back up if I create too much demand and exceed my nuclear capacity, such that I get an alarm while the coal is covering the overage, so I can make more nuclear facilities to get my overhead back with circuit logic? I've never used the safety goggles when I was setting up my first tries at nuclear power. I think that was why my outcomes weren't yet successful, well and the brain swelling didn't help. My doc said, all the acne is just from toxic chemical exposures, not radiation, so I was good to go. /sk

Build it and changed the legendary quality modules for common ones and it wont request any ingridents and start crafting... Am I missing out on something?

can we get a print for this with founderys, electromagnetic plants and biolabs ?

New nuclear is superior and i love the space platform design. Very compact

Nice design. I immediately added the combinator to check for the fuel in my power plant. Was always wondering how to make the inserters only swing once. Thanks!

ive started doing the temperature management for space platforms and the other planets but tbh, for nauvis uranium is so abundant it just feels kinda unnecessary. i could be wrong but if i remember correctly, you only needed like 8 mining drills without kovarex to support one 2x2 reactor and that was before we got quality and big mining drills edit: it was 8 per one (40 MW) reactor but with only prod 1 in the centrifuges and fuel cell production. with prod 3, its 6 miners per one (40 MW) reactor. higher than my initial comment but my point still stands. especially with all the new features, i dont feel the need to be super conservative with my nuclear materials

Love the science goggles! I hope you can get the lab coat figured out!

Excellent! Jar👍

Very cool! I'll use this for some stuff, but as another comment mentioned it's probably better to have a permanent setup for machines that have prod bonuses.

Recipe change has one issue - if there is productivity bonus, it is lost after change

I started to use stack size in the blueprint parameters. P0_s is the variable name. It works well.

My comment disappeared, Idk y. There's a guy named Surtr Plays that says, "Let's get stuck in..." I like your latest version of the upcycling blueprint given I can choose to only make up to rare items given I can only make up to rare items atm (!)

Excellent work, i look forward to ruining the wiring when i try to change assemblers to foundry/EM plants
