Great video, love the setup! I don't like "borrowing" others blueprints so I created my own following a similar design. Ran into some issues I wanted to ask you about. 1. Do you run two total trains on the highway, one in each direction based on the lanes? If so, are two lanes on the same side intended to be a loop? 2. How do you branch off the highway to other train stations? I made an exit ramp by hand but it looks kinda messy and not sure if it will even work. Looking forward to more videos!

I didn't even know there were different hotbars

You can go out beyond 11 foundations now that we have the nudge tool. You place a Painted Beam in freeform mode, attached to the two corners on either side of the gap you're trying to close, centered vertically on the foundations so the beam is horizontal. Then you hover over it with a foundation until the hologram snaps to the beam, press H to hold the hologram in place, then nudge it until the foundation's positioned neatly in the gap between the two original foundations. From there, you can zoop foundations back towards the center of the circle until the entire length of the gap is closed, then dismantle the painted beam. This works smoothly out to ~22-24 or so foundations, at which point every other foundation will be from your original circle, and in between each of them will be one full foundation filling in the gaps between 12 and ~22-24 foundations out from the center. You can then repeat this trick again and build out to another ~32-36 foundations, but as you build out you may need to alternate alignments on your filler foundation to prevent your filler foundations from slowly drifting out of alignment. This painted beam method overcomes the limitation of 5 degree rotation increments, and it can be used in diverse situations. For example, if you do have foundations off of the world grid, you can use painted beams connecting the corners to bridge the gap. You can also do things like drag one sector of a curved path out 10 foundations and another out 11 foundations, then smooth out the transition from 10 to 11 by running a painted beam from the corner of the 11-foundation sector to the far edge of the adjacent 10-foundation sector, then placing foundations along the beam to create a smooth edge.

how on earth did you survive that?

I did exactly the same thing. A lot higher to avoid having to make so many curves around obstacles and only with one train line. BUT, the train railway does not work correctly when testing it. The connections from the blueprints even though they look connected are not. Have you tested this and what would be your solution? I had to delete all the rails and redo them.

it was crazy to me that they released 1.0 without curved road tool. I mean the principle is already in the game. Let it work just like with conveyors: pick foundation, press "r" until u enter "road" mode, press "e" to pick 1, 2, 4m wide and just drag it along like a conveyor! I mean it might not be a best tool, but it at least something

Love this video! Can you show us how to deal with changes in elevation? It's the one thing I can't figure out how to do neatly. Thanks!

Guessing you gave up on valheim?

Looks great!

When the thumbnail shows a factory identical to mine and says "Don't do this!"

Pro tip: You talk about doing it while staring at basic wall. Why you rather dont show how you build it?

Where is the link for the video building the blueprints ? :)

I really like the pillars between the double ramps and other flat foundations. I should do something similar with my copper ingot smeltery since it's huge and this style fits large buildings!

I'm having a problem finding any videos with loading and unloading trains to make sure each load/unload goes to the right place with the right amount. An example would be I want to have a smelting factory that sends out ingots to 3 different factories (Screws, Rods and plates), Currently I am making 1800 ingots/min and I want to send 600/min to each factory evenly with 3 different trains and then eventually send trains from each of those factories to send those materials to higher tier parts (Heavy modular frame factory needs like 1270 of the 2400 I will be making). That plus an explanation on the stop settings for the timetable with the and/or wait for x seconds.

You can't really run out of hotkeys on a keyboard. Alt+arrows for vertical instead of horizontal nudge would be simple enough.

This guide is great. I was trying to set up a not-quite 90° T-intersection, but kept getting "Signal loops on itself". Any idea how to avoid that? I had it signaled like your example.

how did he make the kylo corp signs?

Take horse shape, make rest of horse. Basically this video

How did you lower the floors by pixels? Is that something Satisfactory has built in, or did you use a mod?

had to stop watching after one minute. please hold still a few moments. this camera movements makes me dizzy!

Really love this highway. Not too complicated, still looking great

If your lights switches control the whole world you’re not using switches and breakers properly.

This is sad.. why is everyon using blueprints.. thats cheating, it so easy so download other peoplesa works This video sucks because of you using the cheating system

infinite nudge mod would have helped here as it can do vertical nudging

Nice but I prefer my highway to look realistic, not floating in the air. I spend dozens of hours building real world looking framework and concrete pillars to hold it up

Is there a real advantage on having 2 railways in each direction ?

I know you said you didn't want to include logistics, but you could place your fastest belts in those walkways too rude faster on foot.

You said the third method can't be blueprinted, but couldn't it sort of can? not all the way to 12 of length but maybe shorter distances that you later make longer, it's still a lot of work but it's not as much

WHY is the world grid so important, you can make factories like everyone elsein the game on the same grid, well done

Looks really nice! Curves and staying on world grid means you can only do 90 degree turns. Or maybe combinations of reverse corners with diagonals in between. I think I myself would use other methods to connect two separate sections, with the connection not being on world grid.

Can you do a video on how to build a clean train blueprint? The blueprint its self

just curious why is being on the world grid a big deal?

As someone who cares genuinely more about the aesthetic of a factory than the efficiency but struggles with design & making stuff look great, let alone getting started with designing, watching your content over the last few days has been a really big game changer for me. Thanks for doing what you do and keep up the great work :D

very nice, have you done any blueprinting on ramps? I find getting curves to work with ramps a true pain.

You actually can blueprint those large curves.

In the video you show some end product of what can be done. While helpful for getting references, there is zero information on HOW to build it. I'm looking for tutorials because I haven't learned to build like this myself, not because I lack inspiration. It would be really helpful seeing some in-betweens of the "cut" between "here's a wall. Give some space both ways" and "here is the gargantuan result you'll gonna get".

Excellent presentation. Clear and simple. I am looking forward to see the video on how to make rail blueprints. Hopefully also simple, attractive, and designed to keep your tracks aligned to the world grid. There are so many rail videos out there but it is very hard to find one that achieves all 3.

This is one of those things that I wish the devs would just put in a curve. This gives me a panic attack

that opening shot with the coated concrete lit up perfectly going around the waterfall is so cool looking man.

Really helpful! I like the highway!

Keeping the type one curves on the world grid isn't too hard, you just have to build out only 45 degrees of the curve and then work back from the other end, letting them be a little bit off where they meet in the middle.

now make beautiful curves going up and down with rails >.<

Good content, but I'm getting motion sickness when you circle the mouse to indicate an area.

Super awesome build! Could be fun doing a colab where someone builds the machines and some basic foundations and then having you cover and design the rest. Also do you use the micromanage mod at all?

love this game, but it's ridiculous they released 1.0 without a decent way to make curves and round things, and the need to use mods to properly nudge stuff

"mind the gap!" at 12 out, thanks for the video!

Good tips; I prefer the 11 tile method but good to know 12 is useful too. When using the last method, a hoverpack is a huge help, keeping you safe but also maintaining the distances to do the different branches of the curve.

There is many videos like this and they all have the same mistake, this included. It does not show it in practis. Try to place down a rail, show how you build from one point to the next one.

Coffee Stain really needs to add official curve technology...

That actually is the best video from any content creator that explains where they get their inspiration from and the thought process. I like that. Amazing video Kylo.
