Factorio 32-128 train

Demonstration of my new design. It transports 256K ore in one trip!

[@Trupen]

Who needs signals when you can have just one trains :D

[@gfan83]

I find delivering raw ore is very logisticaly inefficient.

[@gfan83]

I don't see your like)

[@itzdragon636]

why bother make the whole train when your intire production is fueled by cargo wagons

[@stephennussey5787]

hopelessly inefficient and needlessly complicated, i love it 10/10 fun>efficient every time

[@jerryjonker2302]

he should have used steels chest for the buffers. this is anoying to see en uneffcient.

[@DerAlex86]

And I thought my 2+12+2 pull-push trains were long, because most tutorials and let'splays only used 1 loco with 4 cars and many many train sets and waiting areas.

[@tippyc2]

@@DerAlex86 I'm with you, all those setups with 4-car and shorter trains really grind my gears.

[@ArnonJr]

David Cox yeah like with perfect ratio to do all science packs getting from station to station and leaving then on a lab module. Share it with us! Haha

[@VinyZikss]

@@ArnonJr he didnt share it :(

[@ratty_at]

The multiple station loading and moving forward 4 trainlenghts, is actually a pretty clever idea. also its 256k, so its has to be beautiful.

[@rolaca11]

it's clever until you introduce the 2nd train, then it will become a nightmare

[@rockythewolf5190]

Yeah how do you even do that?

[@michabd-lux955]

It look's so german to me...

This is what Chaotic Good looks like at peak performance.

[@monthycavallaro6774]

i love how the train has 19 kills XD

I'm currently working on a map for 3-60 trains (yes, I like 'em "realistic", that thing, tested it works on another map, accelerates more sluggishly, like a real train). But: in order to have the room between ores, I though I'd make RSO's region bigger. Now, having set the region to 50 (from 7), I'm still searching for ores. I'm already all out of iron in the starting area. Hope I find iron before I run out of radars :D

[@roryboth1435]

Does god stay in heaven becouse he is afraid of what he created?

[@storgris3782]

Thanks for this! :D

[@SebastianD334]

why not double track the thing and put a couple of 4-16 trains on it, or maybe even 8-32 ones if you're feeling extra spicy

[@TomaszTrelaPlus]

Long trains are very real. As I count the wagons, I encounter a locomotive pulling 30-40, sometimes 50 wagons.

[@tylerhoblet1458]

Out where I live I regularly see 150 wagon long trains

[@tylerhoblet1458]

It’s huge

[@eliasihalainen2572]

Reminds me of the days when i playd OpenTTD

I might really need to upload my 3-60 train map… nah, no-one wants to see that.

[@CaptainMeatshieldUK]

Factorio is a clear case of "no such thing as too big"!!

[@kevingallineauii9353]

I just explained this to my son yesterday. I told him I'm going to build this and that. Then I asked him if you know why that was necessary. He did not know. I explained to him "the factory must grow".

[@kingkuma4112]

it's better to smelt the ore first, since ore stacks have a lower maximum than plate stacks. Just a suggestion.

[@RoyalFusilier]

I don't think he's shooting for effectiveness or efficiency in this setup, but you are right.

[@Strothy2]

well you have beaten the game

[@pilotnamealreadytaken6035]

im just kind of shocked and in awe of how that can be planned out... like... if i tasked myself with doing this... it wouldn't be fun... did you have any FUN doing this... it is IMPRESSIVE but at the same time... it just looks like a HUGE pain intheass man.!.

[@michaellundgren6949]

The struggle is the fun. Plus its worth it to see gigantic trains moving around the map.

[@Alainyopla]

OMFG ! This is pure beauty !

[@GlennPranata]

Okay, I haven't played Factorio... But I'm kind of interested... But... Can anyone tell me why everyone makes complicated rails here and there?

[@saewings4963]

Just because u will need tons of meterials and materials nearby will deplete...!

[@2lazyt378]

It kinda sounds like a drumroll

[@Holzküken]

This must work automatically and a single beld is far not enough to fill or empty sixteen boxes.

[@nahblue]

I volunteer as tribute to be run over

[@moartems5076]

can those 8 blue belts even remotely keep up with loading that train? Looks like a real bottleneck to me.

[@michaellundgren6949]

I have multiple ore outposts. the train goes to the one that's most full.

[@castleofkolotez4029]

Michael Lundgren: *slaps roof of train* this bad boy can fit so much fuckin copper ore in it

[@KeyszerS]

Very good. You're close to creating the Sishen-Saldanha railway line. Look it up to read about the longest production train in the world. :)

[@proccessingunit2337]

Wait wait. So if that's 30 million copper, and this train carries about 256k copper each trip... This train can only do about 120 trips

[@michaellundgren6949]

I have multiple mines and the train only visits the ones with the enough most ore in it's chests. So when the mine is not producing fast enough, the train goes to farther mines to fill up.

[@proccessingunit2337]

Well damn, that's pretty efficient. How much fuel does it require to run it?

[@michaellundgren6949]

I'm running it on nuclear fuel. It lasts a long time and it gets resupplied automatically.

[@proccessingunit2337]

Nuclear fuel? I didn’t even know that was possible. I really need to get later in the game than blue science lol

[@ilgmars-alv]

this is so cool! quite a few nice ideas

Are you playing factorio? I swear, if i see you asking "but why?" anywhere in the factorioworld again, i will report you to the factorio licence management control, and your licence will be retracted in half a fast inserter cycle.

[@crimf4115]

why to increase copper production by 5%, of course

[@michaellundgren6949]

They are set to 2 seconds of inactivity. The station only opens when there is enough items in the chests to completely fill the train, or else the system would break down.

[@kevingallineauii9353]

@@michaellundgren6949 the air conditions where you could set the train to move on when it has a certain number of items. Knowing exactly how much each car takes at each station you could set it so that the train moves on to the next station when it reaches a certain amount. Because those conditions are train-stop specific (that is set in the train schedule not in the station circuitry) they can be different for each station.

Multi-tracks don't work well with trains this long. All blocks need to be all chain signals until there is a block long enough to fit a 32-128 train.
