Factorio: GiagaBase Research Station

No productivity modules in the labs??? D:

Good observation, im a cracktorio addict, i had to walk away from the game, after making this, didnt have a chance to maximize it.

When i saw all those belts i was excited to see what setup you have to produce and consume all that science, then i looked at the minimap, the belts take up more space then the labs or assemblers. Its a pretty row of belts with a nice way of sending it to the labs but there is no way you are producing or comsuming THAT much science with such a small setup. Still kinda cool though.

[@dukespipes]

Interesting... what would you suggest? this was at the end of a 500 gaming session, i had to give it a rest, im a Cracktorio addict, I have 4 train tracks on the other side of the wall, but i will happily move them, i didnt have a chance to test the throughput or maximize the potential, please share. thanx for the comment

[@MCRuCr]

playstyles are vastly different in factorio. I often find myself enjoying relaxed sunday rides on my train network or still handcrafting stuff I should have automated 100 hours ago. Or doing just stupid/fun stuff like building a huge fossil power plant to create as much pollution as possible. Also I play on a hard difficulty making the game more extended and even slower. >1000h only in vanilla. The journey is the reward! Nothing worse than _actually_ finishing a factory, lol

[@landofbol1098]

@@dukespipes Your labs would have to consume over 20k science per minute if they were to use a constant flow of those belts. I assume your science production doesn't meet anywhere near that though and you just added a bunch of belts for show

[@deanslyrics8797]

@@MCRuCr since its been so long i wonder if you did go back and make a bigger one,,,, this would be my kind of suggestion (not my base, found on reddit, dont remember the spm) steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1619598247032309541/E7AF66A596DAB1E0C6A154473D51F6D0026D3672/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

[@nathanberglas9722]

There are a few things to improve, for example, prod 3 modules, add more beacons per lab, and also how a full belt is put onto a half belt, which reduces throughput significantly and also unbalances either side of the sciencebelts. Otherwise, cool design, good work!

[@MCRuCr]

true engineer speaking

[@minermaxx1015]

gonna steal this belt design my friend, very cool

[@dukespipes]

No stealing allowed! j/k is all open source mon frier! enjoy! thanx for the comment

[@thatoneguy2588]

The amount of joy this brings me is insane

[@dukespipes]

Im happy to hear that.

[@darkden123]

those belts are *_s a t i s f a c t i o n_*

[@prod.phanos]

this sensation... THE FACTORY MUST GROW!!!!

[@MCRuCr]

Small tip: you can use signals to control item throughput on belts. this way you can start the belts in the exact same moment

[@RealShadowreaper]

I like how some of the beacons only have 1 module or none at all.

[@78501]

no prod 3 in labs just hurts

[@mariocamspam72]

12-beaconed prod3 labs would be a good alternative

[@devchary9087]

Or at least 8 beacons. Without speed and prod, this thing takes less than maybe even half a blue belt

[@gilbertsikora3007]

ups is still double digits, factory needs to grow

[@MukyuMyonNyanMimi]

The most menacing part is either the width of the belts, or the research speed.

[@CrabQueen]

A beautiful sight

[@NQuenault]

Inserters can take items from labs to labs, no need to make convoyer that far, prod module in labs and speed module in beacons and its ok

[@charles3840]

Never heard the term "gigabase" before but this definitely earns it.

[@John_Paul14]

was wandering why it is so slow, then i saw the ups ...

[@1110jesse]

Even 10k SPM is something called megabase. wonder how big of a base you managed to build within 500h to call it gigabase.

[@lolmao500]

500h on one map? Damn

[@dukespipes]

I tried making a video but it was 16 minutes too long, can only post 15 minute videos.

[@Battttt]

awesome, would you be willing to give me the files of your save so I can explore your factory and get some inspiration for mine ?

[@samueljo7910]

So this is why they call the game cracktorio

[@RedTiger393]

What is your blueprint ?

speed modules in labs instead of productivity? WRONG
