Trains. And then blueprints.

[@Alex-ui8xp]

Help with train signals would be nice. Can you show how to make an inbound/outbound lines? I usually only run 1 train, but would prefer to have the option to have a second. And crossings too.

my solition is to exterminate as soon as i get GUNS

[@vovozaum]

If you don't kill all the trees, it's actually not that hard to keep the pollution cloud smaller... i usually try to expand the walls until all the pollution is inside the base, but that can make things tedious.

[@sysghost]

@@vovozaum But... the factory must grow. There's no room for trees. They all have to go. All of them. Aliens too.

[@POTUSJimmyCarter]

The thing I really like about factorio is that a lot of these tips are really basic, so it's going to be a mix of "well duh" and "holy hell how did I not think of that", but it's going to be a different mix for everyone because everyone has experimented in different ways to solve the core problem sets every Factorio player eventually encounters. The thing that really got me was him pointing out you can just...have more than one armor.

[@Kasslim11]

Spidertron tip, you can make them follow each other with the remote (ctrl+LMB). I like having 1 lead spidertron with more legs and shields, then any number following filled with mostly lasers

[@diegohiramguidogarcia6003]

Sooo the first one tanks the attacks while the other anihilate anything else no?

[@Kasslim11]

@@diegohiramguidogarcia6003 almost, best is to set the front one on a curving or zigzag path to evade worms and spitters. (That's why it needs extra legs)

[@diegohiramguidogarcia6003]

@@Kasslim11 so mostly it evades but if it actually gets hit it can tank some spitter and worms right?

[@Kasslim11]

@@diegohiramguidogarcia6003 Yep! It also has some shields. My setup is: 1 reactor, as many legs as fit, 2 mk2 batteries, rest shields and optionally lasers (better to put lasers mostly on the players and other spiders though). Player optionally sits in the lead spidertron, power armor filled with a lot of lasers packs a good punch.

[@tomaszdziedzic8133]

As for the backup power for the outposts... My way is to create 2 timers - one powered from the main grid and the other from isolated solar panel with accumulator. Both timers are being reset every 30 seconds. When outputs of both timers are equal, it means that the outpost is powered from the main grid and backup power is disconnected. When main power is out, the timer powered from the grid will stop, while the one powered by the solar panel will still count and difference in their outputs can be used as a condition to connect backup power. This way you don't need to provide additional circuit network signal from the mail base.

@@Trupen I'm watching your 50 Tips and Tricks for Beginners at the moment, and my mind is just blown. I'm a just getting around to mining Uranium on my Save, and I knew my factory setup wasn't efficient, but I didn't have any idea just how bad I was. I didn't know flamethrowers and grenades were so good either; I just wrote them off as "optional stuff that probably didn't work well", so I didn't waste time with them and never bothered to try them. I've got a lot to learn. Great content.

[@Trupen]

@@Augoeides32 Thank you, there are so many people who love this game and have like 1000+ hours, so I usually read comments "Nice video, but I know all of the tips" Don't worry if your factory is not as efficient as somebody else, if it works and was made by yourself then is fine. Coping blueprints from the net is like buying already build Lego :D

[@Augoeides32]

@@Trupen I'm not worried about my factory being World Record efficient, but for example, it took me like 10+ hours per game between each new Research Pack, due to me not going as big or efficient as I could. I guess you could say I accidentally went for a "low pollution build"? Anyway, I'll probably do my own take on the blueprints you've shown: I literally stopped your watching one of your videos at one point, and spent an hour just scribbling various Furnace layouts on a white board to see what would work best for me. But some things I'll probably copy: like I didn't know you could place Boilers side by side without loss (I just assumed that would eat up more water than would supply the rest, so I have been giving each of Boilers their own water pump). Your videos have been super useful. The other tutorials that cover v1.0 seem to 40 minutes long with full attention on advanced stuff, with no explanation on the important minor stuff that gets you there. Your videos are super focused and easy to understand.

There is no easy way to destroy items in factorio and wood is the most useless item in the game, because it used for crafting in only first 1-3h, burn very quick and in late game your factory usually use solar/nuclear power and your furnaces are electric, so there is no way to spend it.

[@jeremysaklad6703]

The best way to "turret-creep" with lasers is to use Personal Laser Defense. If you run in circles around biter bases, you’re basically untouchable: spitters and worms miss you by a huge margin, and biters can’t hit you. If you feel like speeding it up and you’re confident enough to take the temporary speed hit, you can use any other weapon system while you do it: flamethrower for biters, submachine gun for spitters, combat shotgun for worms and bases, grenades, capsules, combat bots… Bonus points if you ride up in a Spidertron and park it nearby so it picks things off with rockets too. But then, this is Factorio. If it doesn’t scale, it doesn’t count. So seed your railway designs with artillery turrets (or artillery wagons, if you have some weird patrol route in mind), then spam artillery range increases until the automatic range covers all your pollution. Alternatively, use manual targeting to pound spawners into dust, send Spidertron to mop up worms and such, and take out other bases yourself while that is happening.

[@ShortArmOfGod]

"You have to produce them yourself" Soooo.......it is America.

[@Trupen]

When you look at it from that perspective you are right...

[@vankata954]

You managed to coerce me. I subscribed.

[@jeremysaklad6703]

I fill my railway designs with accumulators. Sure, spitters tend to take them out when attacking, but they provide a useful cushion against sudden power interruptions, and with a pure solar setup full accumulators means wasted energy. For the most part, if your solar panels aren’t working at full capacity 24/7, the best way to upgrade your power is just placing more accumulators. That’s especially true in the late game, where beacon designs and laser turrets can make energy usage much more swingy.
