The ship 'battles' look like something microprose would have made in the 80's

[@justinwheeler5614]

Took a minute to figure it out, but I've now got 100% efficiency power production from my 4 connected turbines (3 set to auto balance). 4 level two turbines, 8 flywheels and 4 level two power producers hooked to 4 coal boilers, 2 of which are always on standby. Thanks for your insight, Nilaus!

[@Phraxas52]

I feel like the trading dock never having a home is basically a CoI inside meme. I'm constantly moving that thing and I'm pretty certain everyone else is too.

[@xShredsx]

Nilaus dont forget you can trade unity for workers @ the trade dock, when you find yourself in the odd situation where we forget to math out the workers.

[@distinctivefox]

As you've said in this video - you need to shore up everything before expanding too quickly. I think you need to look at ensuring you will be able to grow crops quickly enough - so you'll need to look at how you can turn your sour water into ammonia/sulphur and create a fertiliser build and explain how fertiliser works (it's one of the next big stumbling blocks for most people from what I can see on the discord). You can then also prepare yourself for next phase of research as you'll need acid as well so it works out quite nicely if you focus on a new oil build that incorporates sour water and it's by-products. Then the second thing is to start looking at how to manage food from farms and prepare for the next types of food (bread/chickens/eggs etc).

[@superstive3979]

I would like to see the waste water treatment be done, and possibly use the resources generated for something

[@jamiec8096]

Yes Please.

[@graftednormalcy1376]

i'm honestly probably never going to play this game, but I'm watching these vids because its real calming

[@Phillychw]

Hi Nilaus, I just wanted to say that your videos on Captain of Industry have been a massive help in learning this game. I appreciate your efforts. Thank you and keep em coming!

[@Fetch049]

Did you know that a "Transport Truck" doesn't actually transport trucks? It's a truck that transports other things. ThE mOrE yOu KnOw!

[@achtsekundenfurz7876]

Even "worse": a kill switch can save lives! How silly is that???

[@venoltar]

So, I suppose you would want a "Truck Transport", in order to have a vehicle that is able to transport other trucks, or the more common "Truck Transport Truck", which is a truck that specialises in transporting other trucks. Not to be confused with the more rare "Transport Truck Transport", which is a vehicle that specialises in transporting "Transport Trucks" specifically.

[@thibauthanson7670]

Instead of pausing the boilers you can prioritize the generators to tell which one generates electricity before the others.

[@Nilaus]

that will cause a potential deadlock. If the power is less than needed to power up the old build, then there is no consumption of Heavy Oil and the Oil Refining will stall and kill my base. I need to guarantee that Heavy Oil is never filling up buffers

[@janpodgornik353]

I hope the developers watch this. There´s so much good feedback!

[@sterlinganon]

I like this episode. I think you've hit it on the head with this one, Factorio is primarily time-efficiency game where the challenge is how fast you can grow. CoI is more about production/logistics efficiency, where the challenge is how efficiently this can be made, despite sharing many Factorio mechanics.

[@NZ_Wanderer]

Yep, waste water would be great, I still not done that and wouldn't have a clue what to do or how to do it :) - Thanks for taking the time to explain everything to everyone, very enjoyable....

[@photinodecay]

I'm sticking to the idea that this is some really advanced technology that uses gaseous atomic carbon to power turbines.

[@PeterDeremar]

There seams to be a little flaw with that new powerplant. When you set the HP turbines to autobalance they go down to much and you loose power for a short period of time before they spin back up again. Even saw you having the same problem in one of the later videos aswell. Not sure it's down long enough to cause any major damage though, but you get kinda annoyed when the power starts blinking red for a short time.

[@nicosand86]

noooooo, goning in to withdrawal already, need more episodes :D

[@sixhundredandfive7123]

Alternate title: "Getting our ship in order."

[@ykyjohn]

pipes and bels could be built in higher elevation making more free space on ground for any vehicle to pass it by.

[@Vaya632]

I believe that if all ports are connected to a production building or to a farms, truck export is disabled, so you don't need to turn of the export. Doesn't work with storage buildings.

[@bubbles69138]

That's a beautiful power build :D love the vids Nilaus! :D

[@drsupergood8978]

Not sure if there is some kind of fertility bonus for varying crops grown but what if there was a green manure period after both potatoes and vegetables? The way it was originally setup in the video was growing potatoes directly after vegetables which meant the potatoes had significantly reduced fertility from just having grown vegetables and the subsequent green manure period might not have been sufficient to fully recover the soil, which could explain the reduction in harvest total.

[@jamiec8096]

It really makes no difference that I could see. Been there, Tried that.

[@KlOrKyTF]

Amazing as always.ty Nilaus!

[@K21040]

wouldn't putting car components into the depot by belt also help with truck transport capacity?

[@12321dantheman]

all this venting/overflow etc reminds me of seablock

[@derekexplosion]

really enjoying the series!

[@jamiec8096]

@Nilaus - If you have Windows 10 Pro, you may defer updates for up to a year. Update as needed, only when you want for the most part. Windows 10 is pretty stable, since Windows 11 was introduced. (If you are using Windows 11, I don't know. Not touching that yet.)

[@MoonLiteNite]

posted 3 secs ago? 1st! You know after 25 years i never did the first thing, but never too late to start

[@jamiec8096]

I don't like the pirates. Would like to disable them. But, the current way of dealing with them, at least when I add the guns and armor works for me. Edit: Have learned how to beat them. Two guns and two armors go a long way.

[@adab1s1]

Actually, the second part of the turbine is not working at full capacity :) but so close to 100% without using a balancer, I think it's enough :)🤣🤣

[@UnbeltedSundew]

Does the ground water refill over time or is it like oil and once you use it it's gone for good?

[@Pssdoff3072]

It will replenish after rainfall

[@UnbeltedSundew]

@@Pssdoff3072 Thanks :)

[@jaypeper]

I may have missed something, but when you're low on workers, why not turn on the beacon for more growth?

[@Nilaus]

It stops working after a certain number of recruits.

[@jamiec8096]

Has someone made a general todo list defining what should be done and in what order? I have watched all the videos so far, but I keep forgetting stuff. (Not talking about the flowcharts/diagrams that define layouts, but an overall strategy.) I get into 'death spirals' quite often. For now the todo list might go up to the place where the Secondary research starts. Later additions could go up from there. Targeting beginning players initially.

[@justpassionate8520]

I want to see how you handle sour water from the distillation rather than dumping it

[@abdulmuhaimin5274]

36:20 _Insert "Coal Boiler" and "Gas Boiler" cliches_

[@jamiec8096]

Please just click on a town on the map, use some unity (you have plenty) and import some people. :)

[@Nilaus]

I don't have enough food to support more people and I will get more people from exploring, so not a good idea to buy more people at this point

[@jamiec8096]

@@Nilaus My bad. I forgot I changed some things in Custom Settings when starting my map. That would explain the difference. I usually have too many people. Especially when the ship brings people home after it's travels.

[@nein3405]

you know that you can recruit people from towns for a tiny cost of unity do you? ;)

[@Vdynrhy]

Is there going to be a world download so we can view your builds in detail in game?
