Can I Survive a Ribbon Death World in Factorio?

[@HazzorPlaysGames]

Hey folks, Factorio, but thinner. This was fun, i couldn't decide initially but now that ive had time to ruminate, it was in fact fun.

[@s.domain]

Yaaay I think it's the same size we played on but it was a maze configuration (which is what I thought this was gonna be, dunno why lol), with dead ends featuring ore patches, sometimes all mixed in. We did trains pretty much the same and I guess I know what I wanna do this coming week again lol. Great video as always!!!

[@KeithOlson]

That was an interesting journey! Something else you could try is the 'live and let live challenge', where you launch a rocket without destroying a single biter nest or worm. (I tried to go the next logical step and not kill any biters, either, but that got *REALLY* tough when I needed to expand. Oof.)

[@sixmillionisimpossible]

[@jakeking974]

To be fair, Hazzor, worms are underneath almost all of us all the time because they're just vibing around, eating dirt, pooping out other dirt, occasionally dying from rain. Y'know, worm things. So I'd actually be terrified of a forest WITHOUT worms, what would make a place so uninhabitable to something that can practically survive being cut in two? (Contrary to popular belief, the common earthworm is only capable of regenerating its tail, everything from the saddle, that thicker band on the worm, to the head can't be regenerated and it would effectively be decapitated if cut on that side of the saddle)

[@oscardalmatiner8724]

Dunno man, I read somewhere that american forests didn't have worms back in the day. So leaves would just pile up, rot and shade out smaller plants. That's what allowed trees to grow that big, no competition. Also worms loosen up soil, which makes a massive difference

[@lucaswhite8745]

Worms are a invasive species

[@blarg2429]

[@tonyravioli1982]

[@youpviver6773]

if you ever want to follow through on your desire to create an efficient rail network i have one tip for you: design a set of rail blueprints and then exclusively use those to form the network, dont go around winging it with the intersections and such. im not saying this is the only way to do it, but it makes it a whole lot easier to create an efficient and reliable network.

[@HazzorPlaysGames]

I prefer to have nothing consistent between my saves, call me a troglodyte but that's how my brain do.

[@lizardman9423]

@@HazzorPlaysGames Theoretically, you could just design a blueprint for that save only, and make a new one for each save. Having blueprints just helps a whole lot in actually making a consistent, efficient railway that can be easily added on to. Of course, I'm not one to tell you how to play the game if that's not your jam.

[@zitronenwasser]

​​@@HazzorPlaysGamesmake that two troglodytes then, i am the same and will redo every blueprint i need every game, i don't think i've ever built the same rail blueprint twice. also, making a 6 : 16 balancer yourself... for reasons... is a fun thing to do in my opinion

[@Wrincewind.]

@@HazzorPlaysGames it'd make the world even thinner, but i was thinking you could have 2 rails - a westbound rail on top and an eastbound rail below, and have stations run north/south. make a connecting loop at either end and you're good to go.

[@simonnachreiner8380]

Also mono directional rail networks tend to be simpler and therefore more efficient. (or at least easier to optimize) A mono directional network is neigh incapable of deadlocking. I've only ever managed to do it once and that was just because the ass end of my chonky oil train was sticking out the back and blocking the train that takes crude from the depot to plastic processing.

I'll fall for the comment bait. TIER 1 Speed modules in the rocket silo?!?!?! None of the belt/rail gore even comes close to such heresy.

[@JohnWittle]

i also was shocked and came down here to make pretty much exactly this comment srsly mr content creator, getting 1% productivity on your Silo is like getting 1% productivity on your entire Factory because almost everything goes into making the rocket it's like putting speed modules in your labs I was able to bite my tongue when I saw the outrageously inefficient and UPS-bad train unloader but the silo is just too much

[@lightningcutey9852]

I mean also the petroleum solid fuel setup, which I hope is a way to remove the excess petrolium, and not the main way considering the cracking right next to it... Though I guess it doesn't matter if your base has enough oil to get to the rocket

Yet again. Your storytelling is of top tier quality. This is the content I just love. Doesn't matter if it's Rimworld or Factorio or any other game that's this micromanagement heavy. Like... Dwarf fortress! They take a long time to make I bet. But jesus christ they're golden content. Every single time I watch these videos it's like a serotonin shot to my brain.

[@Weaverdrone]

You should have put Productivity modules in your rocket silo, not Speed modules. Unless you're running enormously overproductive factories you want to reduce the overall cost of rockets with productivity rather than just eating the full cost faster.

[@stephen303]

Productivity modules are always the best choice for the rocket silo, even if only level 1 productivity modules. Makes a massive difference

A tip I remember about making a landfill bridge over water, is that you can leave one spot water and landfill next. iirc it will allow you to walk through it, but biters consider it non passable. You can even bring stuff via underground belts (that somehow go below the water?) if you need to bring something.

So I hear you want to create a efficient rail network. I do too, but I haven't figured it out yet. XD I do have a couple tips that should help, but it's not to technical. Most of it is just figuring out how the signals work. 1) Add more sidings/passing places. Giving your trains places to pass each other helps a lot. 2) Double track when you can (same as the first, but longer) 3) Don't get hit. XD Awesome video, though it had a surprising lack of death despite being a deathworld.

9:13 My only issue with bots is the fact blueprints make the early game so much nicer. I personally use a nanobot mod which gives you bots from the start of the game, but the trade off is you use a special ammo capsule to build and repair with. Its worth noting I also play the same saves on PC as my steam deck, and finely adjusting set ups or having to move them one tile over is AWFUL when playing on sticks
