Factorio 1.0 #14 STOP AND SMELL THE SULFUR | New Player Experience

[@RauchTRa88]

ghost-inserter exists on the last iron-smelter-column 3rd Smelter from the left. Thanks for the regular content!

[@DavidLindes]

Yup, visible at 31:08 - 3rd "outserter" from the left on the top-of-screen row of smelters.

[@PeterNLewis]

And because of the ghost inserter, the Copy/Count technique Nilaus uses doesn't find it because the ghost inserter is included.

[@DavidLindes]

​@@PeterNLewis yeah, I was surprised at that. I guess he didn't realize we meant it was just a ghost that was never placed? Ah well. It'll get fixed... or it won't. Either way. :) (My guess: it'll get fixed once bots are up, by a bot, and not before.)

[@PeterNLewis]

@@DavidLindes I always figure who cares - it'll get fixed when the robots come…

[@krin-san]

Ghost inserters on the right-bottom green circuit assembler. Also check green circuit line on the bus in places where red circuits branches off the bug: you cut it in the previous episode so green line is only supplied by one of the lines - not visible for now, but will become a problem once the demand grow in the part of our base near red circuits assemblers.

[@simdimdim]

Fun title xD P.S. the newly installed green circuits are missing 2 inserters at 13:08 the bottom, right two

[@Arfanis_7GR]

I love how easy it is to keep up with you,as a new player.

[@canebro1]

You can use a deconstruction planner filtered on "item ghost" to easily find missing items.

[@K-o-R]

The missing inserter is on the top-most line of iron furnaces, third from the left. You can see it more clearly on the map at 31:49 - pale purple dot instead of blue.

[@DavidLindes]

Indeed! "That one!" ;)

[@MrDarkknob]

Dang was hard to spot but on the map mode there it be “there she blows!”

[@nexinmax]

The green circuit belts on the bus are missing one connecting belt after a tunnel, as you can see at 32:00 :D Keep up the great series

[@LostFork]

This series is one of the things I look forward to the most each morning. So helpful!

[@Flame2023]

11:12 You never placed the car, you somehow aligned it perfectly on accident (11:00) It's a miracle!

[@The_Tactical_Taco]

31:00 The old missing inserter cannot be found by the copy, because ghosts are also copied. 31:38 The missing inserter can be found on the top row of the iron smelters, 3th smelter, output.

[@tootall1488]

When you copy an installation both real and ghosts are counted, so that will not tell you if a ghost is not placed. Upper Iron smelter column (the last one you built), #3 counting from upper left, coal/ore inserter. If you want to find it, look for the one not moving. Great content, keep it up :)

[@tejing2001]

Easiest way to find it is probably to look for that purple color on the map view.

[@tootall1488]

@@tejing2001 ooo, good tip, if the small inserter is visible at the best resolution.

For hunting down ghosts, you might consider a 'ghost buster' decon planner with the entity ghost option; just gotta remember not to actually release the left click.

Thankyou my man, this series is very noob friendly. I love that you're showing lots of different combos and not just repeating over and over again.

[@rickrischter9631]

Red circuits going backwards is genial! I have made like 10 bases so far, most with main bus, and never did that.

[@mbroughton]

I've watched loads of your videos and never said thanks, so thanks. Keep up the great work!

[@shadowhenge7118]

I wait on red belts till i have robots so i can upgrade and have the bots return the yellows to the hub fir processing into reds.

[@Nilaus]

same for me (generally)

[@firstname4097]

Im experimenting with using 60 miners on a patch, making red belts and steel furnaces for 1 furnace stack, and getting a fully saturated red belt of resources. With a red splitter -> 2 yellow belts, you can turn it into 2 yellow belts at rhe destination (at a main bus, hopefully) and you save the space of 1 furnace stack with that method. Weaving 1 belt to the main bus from the furnace stack is also a lot easier than weaving 2 belts

[@gabiballetje]

31:09 top left third furnace bottom inserter is the one turned around and or a ghost inserter i think ? It was a flaw in the blueprint and you fixed some but forgot some as well. In other words, just fix the blueprint once, it's extra easy now !

[@firstname4097]

Im pretty sure filling a yellow belt with red would take like 90 assemblers working at a speed of 1, and even more with .75 crafting speed (there's a ton of components also crafted at a speed of .75, which would increase the crafting time of the finished product by a lot, so you'd need a lot more blue assemblers than 90, not to mention the fact that they'd all need plastic)

[@josephross6724]

You've helped me improve loads. Your videos are amazing

[@felixrabe]

Nilaus doing all the work + us watching = teamwork! 😆

[@ConsciousK]

I'm up to here on my playthrough. I tried my best to make my factory clean and neat. But nope! It's still spaghetti belts :D

[@clintonwood8805]

ghost inserter on your 6 new green circuit add to the previous build

[@TipherTrades]

Right on time! :-)

[@HossainKhademian]

plz review your green circuit line in bus near branches. miss some belt from last episode

[@vsoundelend]

If you have that kind of time, you could easily put way more content into one episode! As a new player I found the progress here too slow so taking everything I learned from here, I experimented and built large scale of everything forward and probably jumped ahead couple of episodes. I'm now at advanced oil refining(very tedious) and robotics and utility science and the only thing that's bottlenecking my progress is optimal placements of different factories. And I just have no clue if stuff like batteries and blue circuits should be on the main bus or not, I ran out of space on the main bus lane. Maybe I should expand the size of my main bus to 1.5 city blocks. Hmm

[@okuno54]

I definitely put blue circuits on the bus; in fact, I tend to think of the circuit builds as more of a smelting-array-type-thing. Batteries are more of an edge case for me: they're really only used on accumulators and robot frames (incl. yellow science), but those are places where I'd be ok with manufacturing them on-site. As with all engineering, there are no right answers, only tradeoffs. A thinner bus means less storage on belt (less waste, and less buffer), but it also means more things have to branch off into local manufacturing which requires careful design to remain expandable. Both are viable and fun options.

[@vsoundelend]

@@okuno54 I guess this is what the game is about! Now I'm at good point in the progress to go crazy with experimenting. I can have my robots dismantle and rebuild entire factories to new locations. :D

[@ricardobarantini]

Nice

[@mikepettengill2706]

lots of great tips! Keep going!

[@TheObsidianWarlock]

Robot research time?? Can't wait!

[@aalim7481]

Could you also make some episodes for new players, like 'how to make a megabase in a railworld or a death world' , please?

[@Nilaus]

New players shpuld not make megabases and especially not on Deathworlds. I am working on trains and will focus on late game builds as well. I already have a video on the transition to megabase

[@GDPanda69]

Still, the pile of plastic grows! Also, why no armor? I assume this will be addressed once power armor gets unlocked, but just curious with having to deal with early game biter nests.

[@v.Zombaka]

Why are output inserters are not called outserters

[@diegofiore6137]

Isn't the production of the green circuits 24/s instead of nearly 15/s, bc they produce 18/s + 18/s * 0,25 = 24/s. But great vid though:)

[@ryanedkins1521]

Boxes on copper aren’t limited I think

[@Floxxoror]

Just because of you I built my base in city squads...or whatever, but i made them wrongly and now they are too big... well it still works. I am now in the situation where the yellow science is the last thing i did not build. all others are done with 22.5/s, some resources still missing, though. will you do at any point a guide for a science/rocket guide in this scale? thanks for answering...or if you dont: thanks for your vids!

[@Nilaus]

Already have that guide for Rocket Parts

[@sempermilites87]

Trying to get back into this game and MY GOD! I've been having WAY worse biter problems then Nilaus here has been having. Can't even get my starter base up and running before things get too out of hand. Whatever base I find I take them out, but I still keep getting more. Is there some sort of map setting I'm not clicking on because I'm getting hit with biters far faster than Nilaus's playthrough here.

[@PeterNLewis]

Nilaus has a video for best map settings on his Masterclass (it's like Apple’s "There is an app for that", but for Nilaus it is "There is a video for that"). kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJrdkJeMrtSom5o If you want to get some experience, just turn the biters peaceful. Alternatively, crank up the starting size to give yourself a lot more time to get started before the pollution triggers the biters.

[@FirstLast-gk6lg]

What do you think about building out a substantial yellow belt main bus, then skipping red and going up to express from yellow? I have been doing this in my last few games and it turned out really well, and I overbuild the yellow smelting setups so that they output more once upgraded to blue. I usually wait until I have Power Armor and robots so they can do the upgrading of course.

[@comet.x]

I learnt from another stream thar if you want to do that, it may be a good idea to make the yellow belt bus conveyors three wide instead of four. That way, as soon as you upgrade to blue belts, you can fill in every other gap between the bus belts, allowing the blue belts to use their full underground jump distance of 8 tiles.

[@FirstLast-gk6lg]

@@comet.x ah that is a good idea i might incorporate that. I made it 4 wide by habit and so have x6 outputs of lets say iron, each built enough to compress a red belt, then join the 6 down to 4 to compress 4 blue belts.

[@LordHoenhaim]

Can u change that blue inserter to red inserter in plastic hub? I think they dont have that lenght to put plastic on belt :)

[@crossgaming5866]

[@7037731]

why there are 8 boxes at the and of smelters? how does work?

[@nacaicon1593]

He explained them when he placed them in a previous episode (#8 around 7:30). Basically, they serve as a balancer and buffer cache. For balancing, they ensure the top and bottom of the outbound belt are even- in the event for some reason the bottom belt (for example) gets backed up that would normally back up the furnaces as well, and eventually cause them to stop producing. With these if that did happen, the top inserters would simply work double-time, balancing the outbound belt.

[@smorcrux426]

how do you shoot at the trees? It doesnt work for me if I just press spacebar

[@M_SV]

Try to press C, works for me :)

[@tootall1488]

Space bar is an auto aimed feature for enemies only, place your cursor in their general direction and press it. All other things you must manually aim with a cursor hover and shoot using C.

[@amyramsey9100]

this is not for beginers?

[@sonalita_]

it is if you watch the whole series and even better, follow along in game from the same seed

[@andreac7a]

One quick question: why don't you use the single lane balancer like the one in the factorio wiki? It's simpler, less ugly to look at, and requires less components. wiki.factorio.com/Balancer_mechanics

[@Nilaus]

... and doesn't balance inputs and outputs properly. That is why

[@andreac7a]

@@Nilaus I can't see what the flaw could be in that design. It splits 1 lane equally in 2 lanes, then these 2 lanes are joined to the left and right part of the new lane.

[@PeterNLewis]

@@andreac7a it balances the *output*, but it does not balance the draw from the input. So it will draw more from one side of the input belt than from the other.
