When you start your full Pyanodons sushi belt ribbon world, do yourself a favor and adjust things to decrease your pain. For example, if you hate combat, turn enemies off. Maybe start with some bots. It is probably going to be a long session; so, get the "milk and cookies" and settle in a comfy chair.

I loved belt spaghetti it wasn't as ordered as his is. figuring out how to cram it all in a limited space. That and i was too lazy to try and rebuild it all evertime I expanded the factory floor.

[@alexlowe2054]

@@g6qwerty The best way to handle warptorio is to just use bot logistics for production once you've got it set up. The big beacon in the center layer makes productivity not an issue, you can fit everything you need to launch two rockets almost constantly into that big middle floor if you use dense bot logistics. The hardest part is getting to the water for power production inside your base. I highly recommend just turning on the config setting for early boiler water. Without it, half the run is setting up water and miners, which leaves you little time to optimize your factory.

Pro combat tip: don't walk in straight lines near worms, just wobble (up, left, down, right, up, etc) rapidly and the worms will never hit you because they're trying to predict where you'll be when the projectile hits assuming you keep walking in the direction you're currently going.

Would it have been easier using cargo wagons for transport as Dosh did? Or maybe two-headed train going back and forth with all the materials reserved in cargo wagons?

[@rocky2561]

Dosh had issues with cago wagons getting deadlocked if an inserter was assigned to more than one item. So yeah you could move the items faster using the maxed stack inserter using the wagons but still only 4 different items. 4 inserters per wagon so the same as side loading the belts and I think the wagon occupied 2 tiles the same as 2 belts. He may have found a way around that using circuits for his malls but I'm not sure

[@martylawson1638]

If he wants more than one train, I think he would need to make the world 11 tiles wide to fit the signals and stations.

[@asinatiopl534]

​@@rocky2561 that's because he was creating more items than the inserters could've handled, in this challenge the throughput wouldn't be as big of an issue (also no need to give inserters a filter since they're allowed to only pick up the item the adjacent assembling machine needs as an ingredient, technically putting a double lane of the trainbus would give you a 80 different item limited throughput filter belt xd, also some other things i'd gladly showcase using discord screenshare and paint if you wanna discuss)

@@asinatiopl534 I was assuming you'd want a parallel track for stations and multiple trains. Not having a place to pull off the mainline makes using multiple trains hard, but i think there are ways to do it. i.e. lots of trains shuttling left and right to transfer items between factory blocks.

Tip for picking up body: left click it instead, and then ctrl+click one space twice. First click gives you all the items of the same type and leaves empty space behind, second click gathers all remaining items (ctrl+click on empty space transfers everything possible). Much faster than mining the body.

[@jonDuke9]

Seriously, use some red ammo! Those worms will go down so much faster. The bump from 5 to 8 base damage may not seem like much, but Factorio enemies have damage resistance. Medium worms subtract 5, and big worms subtract 10 damage, so depending on the level of upgrades you have red ammo can actually be multiple times stronger than yellow against them. (there's a formula they use to ensure you never deal 0 damage, but it's still almost nothing)
