Yes, but this scale is just ridiculous. Building a "megabase" of 1,000 -2,000 spm is a lot of fun to build and orders of magnitude less frustrating with less repetitivness than 10,000 to 20,000spm bases

Just wanted to take this opportunity to tell you that I actually watched all of you factorio video while on my vacation in iceland. I travelled the country alone in a tent without a car and got some very long waiting times for busses, nice rainy days and just relaxing evenings, everything ice cold of course. I specifically recall a moment I'm incredibly fond of, where it was a rainy day. The day before, I climbed a small mountain and bathed in a natural hot spring. But on this rainy day I decided to relax. So I sat down under a roof on the beautiful campside in Haveragerdi, ate one or two apples and put on one of your videos. And your videos and my incredible time in iceland merged in just the right way. So, now whenever you upload and I hear your voice and see your gameplay, I'm brought back to those beautiful moments. And I ithink I just want to say thank you for what you do, and that your videos remember me of that time and even bring back part of the feeling I had then, even though you weren't aware of the positive impact you had. Thanks!

I've often been tempted to show my 10,000 science per hour megabase to people, just to show them; Yes, this really works. It started as my first time beating a death world, and at some point I made the conscious decision to DOUBLE DOWN on the spaghetti. The only time spaghetti gets removed is when it's actually obstructing progress, and there's no way around it. My starter base is still in the coiled, nightmare-heart of the beast. One of its key features is the looping belts that feed into eachother and back into themselves. When one area lacks resources, it's automatically fed by another. It's also the first map I ever used trains on. That's the reason it's NEVER going to produce more than 10,000 SPH. Reworking that impossible Gordian knot of rails is too much, even for me.
@mcblaggart8565
@mcblaggart8565 2 ай бұрын
Just to be clear, that's science per hour, not minute. 1/60 of what Dosh made here. Also, my nuclear plant isn't spaghetti. It's actually really, really, really good. Modular, tileable, and beautifully auto-regulating. I should share the blueprint somewhere.

As someone who has done it before, the way to redesign large components like this is to "upgrade" the t3 modules to t1 in order to recover modules, then redprint the beacons and then nuke it... And yeah I did chuckle a bit about how many deadlocks you were going to need to fix as soon as I saw you place the first few builds. Had you stretched each build vertically with rails such that an entire train fit before and after each build, doubled the number of trains so that every stop had a train at it and one in that new space behind the build and spaced the builds out horizontally a little such that a full length train cpi;d sit here or there, this base probably would get very close to 20kspm. Your biggest inefficiency here is due to machines being idle because no train is available to load/unload.

Sounds like you need to do benchmarking to figure out if your "new rebuild" is actually any better or just "different". The new thing will ALWAYS "look" better, because you just designed it and that accomplishment is still feeding your brain with dopamine, biasing your judgement. Some designs are just theoretically and practically perfect, like the smelter stack that uses 48 steel smelters to fill a red belt with iron or copper plates. Everyone's got their favorite variation on that, but they all perform exactly the same, so there's no real difference between any two individual instances of such a blueprint. Point is, eventually you keep trying to redesign it and it just looks different without being any better or worse, and if that happens a few times you might be encouraged to actually use the blueprints rather than constantly keep perfecting them when you're just doing a "6 of 1, half a dozen of another" type change every time and don't even know it.

That bit at 46:10 is actually one of the things that really made me decide to play the game myself years ago. Watched a streamer try out the new "beacon" building and the one singular mistake was a misplaced inserter. So he'd try to figure out how the beacon works, put a module in, the module would be removed by the inserter, he'd check the production speed on the furnaces around it, go back to put the module in that had gone missing... And 20 minutes later it broke the iron production, when the belt was clogged with the modules he was spamming into the beacon. This game can be so gloriously goofy and making dumb mistakes, then fixing them later on is a huge chunk of the fun.

A Space Age base of this scale really would output a million eSPM (effective science per minute, taking into account lab productivity and the biolab's halved consumption), making it a _true_ megabase. Even an unoptimized base could be considered a "kilobase" with enough upgrades.

My personal motto is Its not a real base until it makes 1k spm. This goal has been thoroughly tested in our latest try of Space Exploration. Worse part was we could easily build it (up till deep space, not sure it would be possible with spheres) but we hit 20UPS before we could finish. So during wait for 2.0 we set up to build a true megabase. In the past we have made at most 3kspm before dropping down to 30UPS. but during our Space Exploration attempt we have learned a lot about UPS optimization. So we set up to give it a try. Goal was 10kspm. So far we are at 18k with stable 50+ UPS and the only thing preventing us from 20k is Satisfactory 1.0 release. Anyway. As always a great video and i really like the completely different approach you took with your base with those long trains. Keep up the good work, your videos are as always really amazing.
@BastiVC

Im amazed this base even works at all. I was damn sure that it's going to just be deadlocks over deadlocks, but it looks like the sheer size of the trains compensated for the lack of speed once you fixed the deadlocks you got (far far fewer than I expected, and that you could even fix them without just destroying throughput is amazing lol).
@MyNameIsSalo

to be fair it wont deadlock if there's only 1 train allowed to move in the entire system at a time, which is more or less what it turned into. Chain signals literality everywhere. Seems like that's the main reason the base runs at half efficiency

Remember: watts = joules per second. You can get a gigawatt of power from any amount of energy if you move it fast enough. If you need a gigawatt for a microsecond, that's only 1000 joules of energy. Your phone battery is around 30 times that, but it can't deliver it anywhere near that fast. Spend some time charging up a bunch of capacitors that don't store much, but can release it really fast, and you've got your gigawatt source.
