"Future viewer" here, I personally enjoy unedited vods like this. I'm glad they exist so thank you! I feel like its something I'm missing from a lot of factorio creators (probably due to sheer length) but I enjoy it better that way.

🔥🔥🔥

Oh, this is cool, gonna try it.

Cool beans!

thanks for making such a clear and concise tutorial for such a useful feature. earned my sub for sure

Yes they need a filter for anything that has less than x minutes of freshness left.

I spent so long trying to figure this out after watching your original video. Seems very unintuitive. I'm sure it makes more sense if you understand the underlying code.

you only need different numbers while copying the blueprint to make them appear as different bars in the parameters. once its a blueprint you can adjust the values of the field as you like inside the parameter options. look at them as another variable instead of a number (1 is X, 2 is Y, heck dont use single digits at all, it doesnt matter) but once you copied the build into a blueprint you can freely change the number so you can simply make it 7 deconstruct planners, and simply switch it to 1 afterwards. or make it 23135k deconstruction planners.

To much Magic for me ;P

Can you add blueprints for each of the assembler types?

You can just change the default dude.

i followed the instructions but all my intersections are blue not magenta

You need polytetrafluoroethylene

Thanks for pointing out that you can turn on the parameters in the settings, didn't know about that and it makes editing these a bit easier. I found a couple things that might be useful to share. If you'd rather use a filtered storage logistic chest than a passive provider chest, you can do so and put the parameter zero value as the filter on the box and it'll automatically set the filter to the item you pick to make. Reason why you might want this is if you'd like the bots to return items you trash back to the box it originally came from, sort of acts both like a requestor and provider in that way and cuts down on the random clutter storage boxes around the factory. You can also check the 'trash unrequested' on the requestor chest and it'll remember that, reason why you might want that is if you are making something that requires items that can spoil (ex: stack inserters), spoilage will eventually fill up your requestor chest unless you check that box to have bots remove it. And lastly, instead of using the deconstruction planner as a place holder to grab the stack value, you can use one of the unused parameters like 7. Then when in the parameterization mode, set it as "Ingredient of 0". Since nothing has an ingredient #7, this will make that parameter simply disappear from the requestor's list and you still get your Stack value variable. Good luck with the factory!

❤❤❤

So, you can edit the value field in the parameterization. I edited that value, saved the blueprint then selected new contents then I had an extra parameter in there that I was able to use as the stack size.

Dude, for this you dont even edde parameters, you can input the item and the amount of stacks with a constant combinator, then set a selector combinator to stack size and conect the outputs, now add an aritmetic and multiply the output of the selector bby the amount of stacks, now you will have how many items X amount tof stacks are. Use the output of that arithmetic and compare it to the output chest, when both are equal you can emit a signal than will disable the assembler. Thats how I did it at least, and I dont need to create one copy of the machine for every Item I want to manufacture

its funny how for years we were like "oh yea factorio is like software development" and wube said "actually that's not a bad idea" thanks for the vid. makes setting up malls so much less tiresome.

tha best place to learn about this nice game, thank you <3

Finally a video that could explain it simple and understandable, thank you sir!

those large asteroids have 2000 physical resistance?! yeah, canon shells or rockets are a must have. or you make your space platform huge and accept the damage to the tiles... speaking of space platforms, there is a simple way to read the power display without having to go through that menu. just build a power pole! 😁

parameterization makes creating quality item producing factories way more manageable. you can even set specific rarities on your parameters. im using a slight variating on your blueprint here with buffer chests and requests so that it auto sorts my quality mall as well. love it

watched the video in the search view of google and liked it so much i came over to youtube to like it! Thank you :)

Very nice!

I have released a second video explaining how to add in the "stack amount request" that I alluded to in the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYLMi3qLi9V2q8k Functions you can use in parameterization: lua-api.factorio.com/latest/concepts/MathExpression.html Absolute value: abs() binary logarithm: log2() Return sign (or 0, for 0): sign() max & min of up to 255 arguments: max(), min()

Thanks I was looking for exactly this. Also I like to use buffer chests instead of passive providers, and if you stick a value in there, you can have it auto request (I have it set to 40, buffer chests have 48 slots) stacks of whatever it is you are crafting so like when you replace a bunch of belt all the old belt goes back to the buffer instead of storage to wait to be requested again, and you won't make anymore until all the old stuff gets used! And the main reason I was looking for this is it takes so long to setup a bot mall when you have to configure the buffer chests to request 40 stacks and the output inserter to only place 1 stack in the buffer chest. Also I just thought of something, I always want to be able to request something to platforms incase I need something on a different planet, would that mean I use max(p0_s,p0_r) so if a rocket can hold more than 1 stack it will make up to 1 rocket worth?

when setting parameters, I find it kind of unfinshied if you can add min, when that is not listed in available variables.

Fantastic explanation. Thank you so much.

Very nice vid, especially this market building trick.

I really think I would have benefited from having a proper mall blueprint, because I ended up doing four different mixed belt/bot malls that were all different from each other and all required different designs rather than just getting slapped down and letting the bots handled it.

*EDIT* I'm wrong - the formula is the same as Krydax8 states. The maths functions are commutative in this instance. The formulae are exactly equivalent. Doh! Leaving this here as exercise in humility... This is an absolutely great video, but I think maybe the formula is wrong for computing a minute of ingredients. Shouldn't it be p0_i1*(60/p0_t) You want to compute the number of item 0 produced per minute: so that's 60 seconds divided by the crafting time in seconds Then you want to multiply this number by the number of ingredient 1 in 1 craft. Which yields min(p1_s,p0_i1*(60/p0_t)) min(p2_s,p0_i2*(60/p0_t)) min(p3_s,p0_i3*(60/p0_t)) min(p4_s,p0_i4*(60/p0_t)) min(p5_s,p0_i5*(60/p0_t)) min(p6_s,p0_i6*(60/p0_t))

Just started watching the channel. Been enjoying it. Loving the review of the Friday Facts, taking it bit by bit while I grow the factory!

ohhh I finally got it. Thank you!

what the fuck is this 😭😭

Brondo, THE THIRST MUTILATOR

Can I just say how incredible the new music is?

thanks for the explanation do you have a reference for all the possible mathematical commands besides +,-,/,* etc? like the min(,) function youve used

Would it be possible to just plan the entire space platform, and then send all the materials up, instead of expanding it out bit by bit? Seems like the platform layout would need to be changed over and over again if that was the case.

How do you have the liquid & item showing from pipes & chests?

9:00 Blueprint parameterization has been amazing, but putting any kind of formula in that tiny box has been a huge pain!

This video just shows how badly designed is this game.

Have you made a build for this by adding another row of smelters, kind of like what you did for your x8 constructors?

This looks like a simple watch, FFF really means Ffs!? Your staying power to do things for such a long time (like I won my now ex-wife, I put a lot of time on task to satisfy that insatiable hispanic girl... but only on avg 4hr sessions...) is top tier. I think I can only continence watching your ~1hr long Space Age videos on that playlist. Stay safe and Enjoy. You don't call out your keybinds, except I saw you remapping the Pipette tool to MMB and I'm gonna try that, sure beats a two handed combo... I'll remap the inventory reserve slot MMB to Shift + MMB, hoping no conflict...

So this is an incredibly modular version of a mall which can just create any thing you want for x seconds and be plopped anywhere within the logistic network. So this is esentially crafting with a bit more steps for the Lazy Bastard? Amazing! Although I do wonder what other benefits there's to parametrs outside of logistics networks, I think you can use them for trains as well, but other than that if you don't have bots unlocked yet they aren't that useful no?

I see this button and i ignore it, but it is a wonderful thing!!!!! Thanks for the explanation

i really dont get what im doing wrong. i have one train that literally stops in the middle of the intersection and im having them go both ways. i did exactly what you did in your video

thank you 💚💚💚

You can add cargo bays to the oanding pad to allow it to store more and accept more drops faster.

Usually , I dont steal blueprints. But this is beyond my paygrade to do by myself. So ... thank you ... yoink !

great stuff - love it
