A lot of Factorio players don’t actually realize the potential for unique solutions and cool design packed into mid game. it’s a shame because most of the brain scratching happens before modules and bots, and personally it’s the most enjoyable part. So thanks for scratching this itch that a lot of us probably have. ❤

@MyNameIsSalo Жыл бұрын

personally i play up until bots and modules and usually find myself getting bored or exhausted past that point. Yes I can play without them but having to scale up production for the sciences needed for endgame is extremely painful without them. The mid game is truely where the most fun is at. Find this true for any mod overhauls too, struggle to finish any of them.

I put efficiency modules in my miners even in normal playthroughs, to save energy and pollution. Unless you have unusual settings for resource patches, adding more miners is usually better than speed modules, and productivity modules are additive with the mining productivity tech, I think, so productivity isn't worth it. Even with very polluting assemblers, having efficiency in the miners helps a lot with total pollution spread. The Factorio calculator allows you to click on individual ingredients to ignore their production, for when a facility is taking in both base and intermediate components. I use that feature a lot. I always have my higher volume trains 4 cars long, and lower volume things 1-2, so I don't have to balance things three ways. And the inserters loading or unloading each car are a power of two, so splitters easily keep each chest balanced. I never use three cars unless it's carrying different things in each car.

Directly inserting recipes with more interesting ratios than 1:1, 1:2, 2:3 is the most fun part, a close second is using exotic storage and transport solutions like having loops of cars on a belt for massive throughput where rails don't fit or stationary wagon "warehouses" to feed islands of assemblers with lots of different items.

I just finished a run on 10x science with expensive mode. I started up a deathworld, but I'm thinking of doing this one next. The 10x run included the questionable decision of leaving all the biter settings at their defaults, save expansion, and keeping default ore settings with 75% frequency. I never use turret creep, so I was using a car and yellow ammo to destroy nests with crowds of big biters and spitters trailing me, and was using tank shells and poison capsules against behemoths. I'm not totally convinced about your decision to put efficiency modules in everything. Productivity 1 in all the assembler 2s would reduce raw input requirements by ~40% overall which cuts down on the boring mining builds.

Mixing speed and efficiency modules can get power way lower than efficiency alone by reducing the number of machines while keeping the power consumption at the same 20%. Pollution doesn't respect that minimum so the math is more complex, but the same concept applies.

i did a different playthorugh the other day. One stack challange! Only one stack can be placed of each building/conveyor/inserter/belt. Its also gives a very intresting challenge, where a lot of otherwise non used stuff (like efficientcy moduls) are used. The biggest limitations are pipes, you need coal or oil close to the water. Belts - you cant do normal smelter arrays. And power. Since you can only place 10 powerstation and 50 solar its a big limitation when you get to the late game. Try it its fun!

@matsv201 11 ай бұрын

To make the solid build look a bit more diffrent, and.. well quite a bit harder to make. I usually make all the pre production in the same stack. For example, if i make a purple set up in steed of feeding it mellters, tracks and productivity. I feed it Stone, red circut, green circut, steel, stone bricks, iron and rocks. Of cause this does limit the length of the stack quite a bit, but it can just have more stacks. The whole build become much more compact than having several different build and its much cleaner. Of cause this build also requires for example 6 inputs, as well as ... well 3 "middleputs" and one output. To make this somewhat compact when the first middle production end the first start, then the belt for the supply for the first need to end so the output for the first need to start. To make this more compact i typically use 2 color belt weaving and use the empty space between them for extra power-poles and inverters. This way i can have a 3 or 4 wide center track with up to 8 belts and 16 lanes. And some items my use 2 or 3 .. sometimes 4 lanes. This does make the build quite a bit more challenging also make they considerably more varied. as well as make the base cleaner. Stuff like red circus i usually produce centrally In addition to this i typically don´t have a smelting stack. I use almost exclusively on mining smelting. This does lower the amount of train quite significantly. In addition to that i run very long train and single track (well not the core network). Not becasue i need to, but because it looks more interesting. And i do melt steel at the mining site directly.This cut down on the number of train quite consideraly. On top of that i also typically make green circuit at the mining site. Having a small dedicated feed train taking iron to a copper mine and covering it to green circuits for the train to take in. For a outpost like green circuit and steel that i have say 10-12 wagons, i typically never need more than one train. Even for a very big outpost, it takes a long time to fill a train.

Brand new viewer here, I will try to be constructive here. I am not a huge fan of QOL game improvements, yet while attacking the 8 minute mark I see quite a lot of workarounds around the enormous challenge. You even comment at 20:54 how easy it is to kill nests, while you place turrets with ammo at the same time. The pinnackle of going with too hard of a challenge was removing the biters all together. I would personally prefer either the challenge being easier (multiplier f.e. 50x, 30x, 10x) or committing the time, energy and the resources to the project, so that we could fully appreciate the pain, effort and dedication of yours. I personally feel a bit deluded and click baited with all the QOL thingies. All that said, I've personally tried 100x modifier and failed magnificently, yet here you have done it, I'll be it with all the favors of yours. So in the end, you did better than I did.
