Factorio Base Tour - 6000 SPM Rotationally Symmetrical Belt Megabase

[@dudemerico]

Hey I'm the maker of the map (golga, and you got my name perfect). Thanks for doing a tour of it! Yeah I spawned in the concrete because I finished the factory stuff and then decided to tile it and didn't want to build the production for concrete. Also I turned off the autolaunch for the save so that everything back up and you could look at the base at 60 ups. It's not controlled by anything too fancy, there is just a circuit to keep from having a bunch of satellites buffer. Edit: Oh and I focused on follower count because it was the only research that used all seven sciences, and all the outposts were calculated with a specific mining productivity in mind.

[@AK90]

You are a mad man!!!!!! It does, however, look fantastic

[@TheTimothy3011]

Bloody brilliant mate!! Have you got any blueprint links that we could view?

[@AK90]

I took a BP of the entire base. Not really useful though since trying to place it down even brought my PC to its knees. I would suggest downloading the map and have a look around. It was really cool to see it run, make sure you increase the autosave interval though since it takes a bit to save the map. Less annoying that way :P

[@petesmith13]

this is great work, I seriously doubt my pc would be able to run it but great that you made the save available for people to tour it.

[@AdamWebb1982]

amazing Map Joe!

[@proseidon774]

it looks like a large CPU

[@IAmNotAllan]

Agreed, anything logistic that emphasizes efficiency would ultimately look like one

[@Curt-0001]

It is almost exactly the layout of an IC. I wonder if this was intentional.

[@aptom203]

My bases almost always end up looking like PCB's. I think it's just the nature of processing efficiency. You feed something in, it gets processed, then fed out, maybe gets fed back in to be further processed somewhere else, rinse and repeat. Belt bus bases always end up looking like circuitboards, in my experience.

[@seanvoynaud9820]

Xactly

[@Nova15458]

Totaly agree

[@andresnexuschamarra6991]

If there ever was an answer to the question "can videogames be art?", this is art, not just that, this one particular base is a MASTERPIECE. this is someone's magnum opus!

[@Reloecc]

And "can programming be an art?", because this game is optimized amazingly..

[@andresnexuschamarra6991]

I would have to see the code to have an opinion on that, it could be a huge unreadable hack :P (I am a programmer, and yes, it can be an art, its a functional art)

[@doggo_woo]

@@andresnexuschamarra6991 It's functional art when it works, and a disaster when you can't figure out why it works.

[@tonyisnotdead]

video games are art by definition

[@scootsmcgoots]

It makes me sad that the vast majority of humanity will never know how beautiful this base is and the insane amount of work that was put into it. It is a symphony of perfection.

[@polarbear1888]

Scooter my thoughts exactly

[@gustavosantos106]

I just cannot understand how your brains work, OCD people. My Factorio factories are all chaotic spaghetti messes, that not even I can read. You should be designing motherboards and processor chipsets, really.

[@husboy1]

Half of my supply lines are completely still 80% of the time because I don't put any thought into balancing inputs and outputs.

[@Micsma]

I'm not OCD at all. I just like looking at beautiful work. Everything in my saves is more or less chaotic but ordered. Still haven't launched any rockets. Vying for efficiencyyy

[@cyberneticbutterfly8506]

One word: Redesign. It's hard to make it good on first attempt, it's all about either having long experience or making spagetti and then redesigning and redesigning and redesigning until its good.

[@captaingrizzly9511]

i think you nailed it though. this was designed. my factories just kind of get built. this factory was designed and then built (i think). it's incredibly impressive

[@nthexwn]

@@cyberneticbutterfly8506 In programming this is called, fittingly, "refactoring"

[@monad_tcp]

[@TS-jm7jm]

yes probably

[@mateuszbartosik1507]

Yeah, first thing that came to my mind when I saw this factory was a CPU

[@sqdtnz]

Imagine trying to actually supply this with mined resources. It would consume 1 planet per hour?

[@Xterminator]

sqdtnz Lol, yeah pretty much. So I don't blame them for spawning in the one patches.

[@joops110]

You forgot to mention it's exactly the same on all four sides.

[@pulchritude0222]

Wait! It's the same on all four sides!?

[@samalbury9183]

Wow!

@@Krissam2k You and Gabriel are so fucking dense.

[@andyhall95]

Love this build, but at 12:41 you can actually see an out-of-place powerline just seconds after X says there are no out-of-place powerlines.

[@RadiantSkiddMarx]

When you're amazing at games about putting shit together to work as one, but can't put together an Ikea office chair.

I'm huge into the symmetry OCD. I see that you are too, much respect for your factory.

[@KANJICODER]

I consider myself somewhat of an OCD myself. i.imgur.com/ckkEEJt.png

[@jasonrubik]

I love this base, however in the very first second everyone can see that the centrifuges are not symmetrical around the spawn point. I wonder why no one mentioned this yet.

[@kalebbruwer]

I played through factorio before watching youtube videos about it and the amount of those effect transmitters surprises me. I have 0 of them in my base and I actually avoided modules as far as possible.

Kudos for manually fixing power poles. Veldak approves.

[@RetirededKat]

Awesome build, just wanted to say that is a combination of radial, rotational and mirror symmetry

[@trismugistus]

We should use giant bases like this as system benchmarks - then base optimisation can bleed into the real world :).

[@Hippida]

trismugistus please elaborate

[@TS-jm7jm]

@@Hippida seconded

[@daviddpass]

Please make MarkII of the base, with biters enabled walls around the perimeter and defenses, see what happens to UPS With biters enabled and production running, this base could be used as a benchmark

You make my hyperbase look like pillow house. I hate you. Awesome design, btw. XD

[@JobaerArman]

I would like to revisit the base in newer versions of the Factorio. Please revisit some of the bases in newer version. It would be a great series.

[@gimbusprodukcja8519]

This is true masterpiece Creator is like modern Michel Angelo

[@jasonrubik]

What an awesome base, for sure ! However, the rocket silos have misplaced power poles in the north and south locations. East and west silos look good.

[@TS-jm7jm]

ah so almost perfect

[@Mernom]

Silos are the one annoying thing here, since they are not rotationally symmetrical.

[@lemonandgaming6013]

well he will need to delete this whole factory and try to redesign it then

[@Mernom]

actually, silos ARE rotationally symmetrical now.

[@PLF...]

The Factorio community is the only forum I've ever seen where the general consensus is that purple = blue

[@Der_Arathok]

I can see you never played with autosave off ;) this base was insane!

[@farefouse]

Good job dude. Sounds like you have a great mind.

[@Mernom]

The moment I saw that steel build, I paused the vid and went over to the blueprint maker to recreate it. Gonna use it later... It's slimmer than the bigger build you showed in your furnace vid.

[@MarceloBrizuelaWPG]

Two words come to my mind: #Madness #Insane. I'm close to cry, I can't align four pieces that I have problems with the electrical post.

[@spartanwar1185]

The one time a compass will actually be useful "Wait which corner of the factory are we in!? THIS LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE LAST PORTION!"

[@KamramBehzad]

No words! It's godly.

[@Xterminator]

Kamran Behzad Couldn't agree more!

[@RedGallardo]

In 10 years: a map that's a copy of a real computer that can run Factorio inside Factorio.

[@kc5402]

How are we supposed to see any of the detail of the factory when you keep constantly scrolling, zooming, scrolling, zooming, scrolling, zooming? I have to be really fast with the pause button to stop the vid in the right place to see the details I want to see.

[@Mernom]

With 0.17, a few small adjustments would make this truely rotationally symmetrical.

[@fajkoson]

this is most crazy OCD base i have ever seen

[@spacedroplet4575]

What an amazing base

For some reason, I love spaghetti chaos factories more than OCD heaven ones. But I am OCD as fuck sometimes myself. (Organizing rice while eating it until it's cold sometimes OCD)

[@DMcG1889]

I bought this game after a few KZbin recommendations and seeing the trailer. Then I played it for like 60 hours and realized I was either not smart enough or not meticulous enough to play it with any level of competence. Fs in chat if you felt the same.

[@doorknob5223]

Bruh am I the only one who noticed that the base is completely rotationally symmetrical?

[@baderalrayyes8086]

I wonder how many hours the designer(s) took to do all that, this is mind-blowing !

[@HandSolitude]

They should create a game called "Processorio". Where you build the best microprocessor possible.

[@KANJICODER]

I clicked on this because I thought from the thumbnail that someone else was working on a crazy ass auto tile engine.

[@manwithanaccent4315]

I downloaded the save file and run the game to check FPS ... 60, after 45 mins, running 4K. Nice.

[@brenenfisher9324]

i dont know if you have yet but could you make an in depth video on logistics network?

[@RainingArtillery]

What if a single tile is wrong somewhere though? Is it actually symmetrical? We need to make a script to test where it is truly or not.

[@IONredline06]

Wow I struggle to get 90/m, this is crazy. Mad props.

[@Queue3612]

so many people have these crazy 4 way junctions, just use roundabouts

Where?

I thought the left is like athe other sides just rotated but it isnt so it not symetric or am i missing something? is the left and right the same, and top and bottom?

[@astree214]

Most is rotationnal symetry (not sure it's so called in english)

[@polk7260]

if you rotate a part of the base in a different direction its the same

[@rikschaaf]

The factory looks like a CPU chip. The analogy isn't even that far off.

[@TS-jm7jm]

you could probably rig such a setup to do computation

[@annapestrikova2478]

Hello. Yesterday we released a cool game Final upgrade on Steam. Indirect have a suggestion for the youtubers. The game is indie, similar to factorio. The key to the game can be obtained there.

[@amittalkin]

Important question no one has asked. How did You manage to get 60 FPS/UPS with 6k SPM? I have hard time handling 4k SPM.Which CPU do You have? I have Ryzen 3600.

I took a blueprint of the center part (4-way intersection to 4-way intersection diagonally) and here are the most used things in the base: i.imgur.com/63duqsr.png Factorio was using 12GB of RAM when I took that BP and my FPS/UPS dropped to 4 xD Large BPs are VERY demanding!

OCD People are Obsessed at being Compulsive and they are somewhat different from ordinary. That's why it's called OCD; Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder I cannot live a normal day without organizing and managing things in the right order and seeing something out of place is A LITERAL SCRATCH ON MY BRAIN. Every OCD Brain is different, some are alright with a specific thing being out of place and others can't stand it. And so that's why Factorio is the perfect game for people who need to Organize and Manage compulsively.

[@DuneGames]

Xterminator - Nice tour! How are you toggling the base production?

[@Xterminator]

You mean the production graph? The default hotkey is P. If you mean like how I'm turning the base on to consume stuff, I'm just starting research. :) Hope that helps, and glad you enjoyed the tour!
