Factorio Tutorials: Belt Array

[@josephfredrickson615]

I really, deeply appreciate your posting of this design, the inserter array design, and the main bus suggestions for what to transport. You've helped me reorganize my thoughts and come to the realization that effective expansion is impossible without automating the production of your belts, underground belts, splitters, and inserters. I also enjoy your Let's Plays and Steam guide on effective tips and tricks. You are definitely my go-to source for Factorio inspiration.

[@KatherineOfSky]

Thanks so much for the kind words! have fun with the game!

[@Rakkfalen]

I feel kinda dumb since I can't seem to find it, but where is the video on inserter array design? I love this layout and would like to see one for inserters too!

[@KatherineOfSky]

The inserter layout I previously used is in my guide (steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=661582295). However, I am now using a different structure called the Shopping Mall! XD kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4G4lIhpbM2LfpY

[@jewilmeer]

Thx, really useful!

[@Mumbamumba]

I love how organized your whole production lines look. My factory looks like I've put everything in my mouth and sneezed it on the screen. I'm really glad I found your factorio tutorials, they're the best ones I've seen so far plus you have a very pleasant voice.

[@KatherineOfSky]

Thanks so much! I had to LOL at your colorful description of your own factory! hahaha! Best one I've heard yet! XD

[@omegaM1A1]

The first step is making it work, the next step is making it work well. I can't tell you how much spaghetti my factory has. It's a lot.

[@destinygamerss]

MY FACTORY IS ZOODLES

Over 5 years later and this is still super useful, i spent over 2 hours trying to figure out an efficient way to automate the crafting process for T3 belts and a way to recycle old belts and ill be honest i never used the logistics cables until now, never knew how they worked, thanks a million

[@1337JackMack]

No fluff. No BS. No weirdly modulated/unnatural voice. Just a straight up great tutorial, I hope your channel viewer base grows because you deserve it. Thanks for providing fantastic content :)

[@KatherineOfSky]

Thanks! I really appreciate the kind words!

[@mathewhoude1744]

Finally... I am learning how to play, I almost gave up on this game.

[@Yoshiling]

Yarrpen - I know this is an old comment, but the phrase "weirdly modulated/unnatural voice" sums up all my frustration with KZbin content creators these days. Great comment. Great video, too. Awesome job.

[@abeke5523]

Weirdly modulated voice? Do you mean that robot voice? I hate it too

[@colonelburton8451]

This is one of the best factorio tutorials I've seen so far. I like how you explain yourself without sounding confusing despite not using a script. Well done

[@KatherineOfSky]

Thank you!

[@Graxster]

In over 500 hours of playing Factorio, I've never used the circuit network. Usually don't even research it. Thanks to your easy to understand explanation, I just realized I can use the same "limits" principle to deal with light and heavy oil issues. I tested it out by attaching a pump to an oil storage tank, then attached a steam engine to the other side. Ran the red wire from the pump to the oil storage tank and set the condition of "light oil > 2,400". Sure enough, when the tank was just about full, the valve opened and the steam engine ate up the excess oil. No more petroleum production stalling! So thanks! :)

[@KatherineOfSky]

Woohoo! Circuits do indeed make life a lot easier -- so glad you are discovering them! I also wire up my lubricant plants & heavy oil crackers to make sure that the lube tanks are full before cracking into light oil -- it's a good way to make sure you have enough for blue belt production.

[@hongseng3670]

wait W H A T N O W

[@bunkaaa8726]

Finally, a Factorio tutorial I can pay attention to. So many people do not speak properly or have terrible mic quality and is hard to take in what they're saying.

[@KatherineOfSky]

Thanks! I hope it was helpful :-)

[@SrFrancia0]

That video bitrate though...

[@KatherineOfSky]

@Javier -- this was one of my first videos -- before I knew much about recording. Hopefully it is forgivable!

[@Civilization1]

or they don't get to the point, I watch to see the array not here "hello my beautiful wonderful amazing fantastic viewers, welcome to my channel i'm fuckfacemcfarthead and im going to show you my be most awesome favorite array brought to me by jhonycockinmouth but first please subspecies to my KZbin Instagram, Facebook, sound-cloud, Myspace, grinder and jewdate." Followed by a 2 min stock into video made in after effects.

[@tiagopassarela]

this was very satisfactorio ;)

[@KatherineOfSky]

Haha! Thanks!

[@beanmoncher8834]

btw there is 9 gear factories not 6 like you said lol

[@sixbytes6362]

now ofcourse we know we need to get more

[@parkroszone2906]

Tiago Passarela bafum psch, satisFACTORIAMENTE hablando

[@VitaKet]

Tiago Passarela So this is where Satisfactory got it's game title from! You should be getting royalties!

[@TallinuTV]

I like this design, and the recycling feature is nice. "Except change the product"... but you missed doing that on the yellow belt inserter at 8:48 -- and didn't spot the error at 12:39 when adjusting the amount, either. :)

[@KatherineOfSky]

Oops! Thanks for pointing this out! :-)

[@Sintakhra]

I was flailing around when I saw that. "Nooo!"

[@invictusblizzero]

I like how you actually go at a reasonable pace and don't do the whole thing and then explain what it does after it's built. And you do it for a starter. You're an amazing channel.

[@KatherineOfSky]

Thanks so much IcyFlame!

[@webermaster8595]

I love how much optimization is in this setup. A well thought-out concept. Brilliant

[@KatherineOfSky]

Thanks!

[@Aavak]

This was a wonderful tutorial, easy to understand and very well presented :D

[@KatherineOfSky]

Aww, thank you Aavak. I am a great fan of your work, and if you don't mind me saying so, your accent is simply glorious! :-)

[@harrison358]

There are so many things that you taught outside of just the tutorial. I had no idea how the red wires worked, I didn't know the chests could be limited using the little red X. Also the video itself was great. Glad this video is doing well, it deserves it.

[@KatherineOfSky]

Thanks Harrison! Glad it was useful for you!

[@mrchoochoohead9033]

THE best tutorial ive seen so far. excellent work. cant wait to see how you do others.

[@KatherineOfSky]

:-)

[@mrchoochoohead9033]

would you mind maybe doing a closeup showcase of your factory so we can see how you arrange your belts? a lot of tutorials deal with only the macro stuff like green and red circuits but ive yet to see any good ones that deal with things that you only need 1-2 factories for

[@KatherineOfSky]

Are you talking about things like Assembler machines, Lights, solar panels, power poles, stuff like that?

[@mrchoochoohead9033]

yeah. ive noticed in another vid that you weave lots of input lines together efficiently for the smaller factories

[@shallowabyss515]

there is a yello splitter in you copper blancer. its driving me insane

[@unfortunato]

Incredibly detailed tutorial, thank you for this. I am a newby myself and don't really understand what the hell is going on in other tutorials I watch as the creator usually just assumes I know everything already. They build a large construction like yours, all the robots come flying in and build it, no word on how that happened whatsoever. You, on the other hand, explain all the small details, even if they only ever so slightly have something to do with the setup you are presenting. Keep up with this stuff! I bought this game day 1 when it came out on steam and was always starting a new world and then quitting again because I did not understand even the easiest assembly lines, now I might pull through and this is largely due to these tutorials. Cheers!

[@KatherineOfSky]

Hiya Big! Welcome to my channel! I'm so glad the tutorial was helpful to you! I try to make these assuming the person knows next to nothing, since I remember when I first started the game, I might know technique A but not B, so I just talk about all of them :-)

[@Jakejud1]

Oh god thank you for getting right into the tutorial, being really clear, and having fantastic audio quality. Everything i look for in youtube tutorials. may the subs rain upon you.

[@KatherineOfSky]

Haha! Thank you! I try to make my tutorials as I would like to see them -- no long intros or messing around, just to-the-pooint :-)

[@Morrowind4732]

Great video and explanations. I really appreciated that you expanded onto something already existing. A lot of videos I see are just a completely open and empty area that doesn't show how to efficiently connect to your already existing bases and belts. Seeing your previous build with this expansion has given me wonderful ideas to use. Like the splitter from the main bus that placed green circuits to one side of the belt. I had no idea to force a sideways belt with a belt above would stop the connection of belts ensuring it only is placed on one side. I didn't even come to learn that, but from the video you casually dropped that nugget of wisdom in along with the other great info. Awesome tutorial. Glad I found you.

[@KatherineOfSky]

Thank you so very much for the thoughtful feedback!

[@Kripkee]

When you showed the requester chest recycling the older yellow and red versions from the network you blew my mind. Great video, thank you!

[@KatherineOfSky]

:-)

[@borgotchongo]

Nice job! I started Factorio some weeks ago, and now I'm studing how to grow my base. This tutorials are amazing! I love it! For now, I'm using 2 wagons on my trains, and develop my own experimental loader and unloader. After pass throught the campaign, I will use this tips to improve my base. Continue doing this amazing videos! Congrats!

[@KatherineOfSky]

Have fun playing!

[@theoriginalfluff5317]

I've only been playing the game for about 20 hours and seeing a factory like this makes me want to keep playing and never stop, it's in my top 5 games already. It's so OCD friendly at times as well

[@Tayrtahn]

I smiled when you messed up the symmetry at 3:26 and immediately caught yourself. Factorio demands precision!

[@KatherineOfSky]

lol

[@plazmicflame]

Only started playing this game a month or two ago and I've watched a ton of videos. For the first time I finally understand the wires... amazing!! Thanks!

[@KatherineOfSky]

So glad to help! :-)

[@AlexanderAndreassen123]

I love your voice, it sounds so professional. It brings me right back to watching the discovery channel with their voiceovers.

[@KatherineOfSky]

Aww, thanks so much!

[@dabest7705]

I've caught you simpin 3 years later

[@malegelebi]

after watching quite a few tutorials on this game, i've learnt more from this video alone. thank you sooooooo much.

[@unknownvagrant6851]

Saw your guide on steam. Great vid.

[@KatherineOfSky]

Thanks! Glad you came over to my channel :-)

[@DootDootShamoot]

Just found your tutorials. VERY well done! Clear voice. You know your stuff. Definitely gonna work through the others to refresh my memory now that 0.15 is out.

[@GTsoopfox]

This is actually a really great tutorial for people who have not yet put 100+ hours in the game. You do a really good job at explaining everything so new people (like myself) understand what you're doing. great job, keep it up. +1 sub

[@KatherineOfSky]

Glad you found the video useful! Enjoy!

[@OldieWan]

From my meager beginnings yesterday with a simple power system I am moving along much quicker now thanks to your help in all your videos. Very understandable as you take the baby steps it takes to get into something larger like this. I thank you again for the time you took to make clear and understandable tutorials in this wonderful game. I can see this game becoming quite addictive. As once you start understanding basics you can branch out to figure out which set up works best for ones personal use, and or just trying out new things. I went back to my first map and had a good laugh at how "unique" I made it. No one makes them like a newb.

[@phutureproof]

Nice voice, no BS, plain and simple tutorial, much appreciated and subbed

[@supernova6864]

I stumbled on this video by accident, but you just might make me play this game again. It was surprisingly informative, entertaining and relaxing. GJ!

[@KatherineOfSky]

Aww, thanks! The 0.15 update is coming soon, and contains all kinda of fun stuff -- combat rebalancing, nuclear power, and more! Have fun!

[@SirChickenMacNugget]

Just found your channel from your Steam Community guide to Main Bus. Really awesome clear and concise tutorials. I still have a long way to go with planning :D

[@KatherineOfSky]

Thanks! Planning is probably your greatest asset in the game, generally speaking. But don't worry, that will come with time! Have fun playing!

[@republish368]

I play factorio and I use to watch your GREAT viedos. It's a pleasure to see that girls have deep interest in such games. Your explanations and designs are simple, efficent and to me very understandable. Your videos are not a waste of time as many other I find in here. Many many thanks for your time ;)

[@XplosivDS]

Everyone is saying that the video is amazing i didn't find a single bad comment, that good is the video

[@TheReaverOfDarkness]

Unlike other Factorio videos, this is actually at my level. Many thanks!

[@KatherineOfSky]

Thanks!

[@ShealaCZ]

One of the rare factorio tutorial that is pleasure to watch.

[@KatherineOfSky]

Thanks Hana!

[@macrofage1551]

Even if I'm not yet at this level of developement your tutorial is really helpful to organize supply. Thank you for the explanation of upgrade chain, this is a point I need to develope.

[@breadcrumbs0]

Wow. These video tutorials that you do are amazing! I only started playing Factorio a little while ago when a friend suggested it, and I was hooked. Definitely had no idea as to this structured stuff until I saw your videos. I also do tutorials, so this is not only an inspiration for my Factorio designs, but also my channel. Thank you so much for posting this stuff!

[@AlfredoSegundo81]

I'm new to factorio and never used the circuits that way. Thank you for the easy to understand explanation. Great video!

[@KatherineOfSky]

Glad it was helpful to you! Enjoy the game!

[@Siriathion]

A very good guide. We can plainly see, you know what you are doing and have a coherent plan for the whole setup. One thing I would recommend, would be doing a bit of scripting or at least pre-planning. Every few moments you stumble or fumble or forget something. This is of course fine for a playthrough, but in a quick, clear guide it is a little bit confusing, especially if someone is not very familiar with the topic.

[@duxtorm]

You are legit my new go-to for Factorio help. Thank you so much, very clear, strait forward, and not a second felt wasted, excellent video! +sub

[@oblivion_2852]

I came to listen to your voice. It's nice that someone in the factorio community is actually making tutorials though.

[@KatherineOfSky]

I'm glad you are finding them useful!

[@oblivion_2852]

I'm sure they are but I've been playing factorio enough to know quite a few different designs. I probably played around 300-400 hours. 100 of which was on a single world with a very very very long railway to get a bit of oil, which was a pain. Keep up the videos, they'll be handy to some.

[@thomassymonds6308]

I just started playing this game, watching you work is mindblowing!

[@KatherineOfSky]

Thank you so much Thomas! I hope you are enjoying the game! :-)

[@revvilo]

Flipping brilliant, I've been trying to design something like this for ages but yours looks so perfectly laid out! Great video c:

[@revvilo]

Oh btw, could I ask how you cancel the connection of the red wire when you were linking the inserters to the chests without switching items?

[@KatherineOfSky]

Hi Revvilo, thanks! I just clear my hand by pressing Q.

I have 200+ hours in Factorio, and still know barely anything about the circuit network. I had no idea you don't NEED to use combinators, and can just hook up inserters to chests like that. Mind=blown. thank you so much! it wasn't even a 'circuit tutorial' video. lol

[@KatherineOfSky]

Glad to help Jace! I had exactly the same reaction when I found out about them too!

[@epsilonadept7301]

Hello. This is the second video I watched from this channel. I always make a looping belt for all the containers then split the materials to fill both sides of the looping belt because I feel safer when all of the containers get more equal materials.

[@KatherineOfSky]

Looping is not an efficient strategy in Factorio: it just wastes materials and time.

[@epsilonadept7301]

@@KatherineOfSky Oh. Hello. Didnt expect to get a reply in 3 minutes. xD Thank you for replying. I always thought it was better for materials to run in a circle for all containers to receive them without worrying which one gets enough.

[@KatherineOfSky]

Heya :-) Large buffer systems and circular belts aren't very effective for the game. It's better to use a main bus system for materials distribution, and prioritized splitters to keep belts filled.

[@epsilonadept7301]

@@KatherineOfSky Hello, do you ever count how many miners to use for a bus syatem or do you just find as much ore patches as possible then fill it up just like that? I like your channel and will watch more videos but just a quick question. (:

this game sure has a great learning curve. Started playing this game a couple of days ago and realized how bad my whole production line really is.

Really helpful video with great explanations and tipps. I already had something like your system in mind but lacked the visualization. Ty!

Thank you for your clear explanations! Liked and subscribed.

[@KatherineOfSky]

Thank you Michael! Welcome to the channel!

[@nobodx]

If you hoook up all the chests & (output-)inserters together and connect it to a constant combinator, you can control the amount of (underground-)belts & splitter from a single location. In the Combinator, you'll have to input a negative number (eg -50 yellow belt) and the inserters have to work, while the item is less than zero

[@KatherineOfSky]

Oooh, that's an interesting variation. Maybe I'll create a V. 3 video!

[@kaihG]

Fantastic video, really. Gets to the point quickly and sticks to it. I'm officially a fan! Subbing :D

[@KatherineOfSky]

Welcome to the channel Last of Brunnen G! Enjoy the rest of the vids!

[@kaihG]

Thank you Ma'm. Question: How in the world have you churned out this absurd amount of content in less than a year?? Am i reading this wrong?

[@KatherineOfSky]

I started my channel at the end of August last year (2016). How do I have so much content? I play a lot :-)

[@kaihG]

To the degree that its both inspiring and frightening! xD PS: Maybe I'm nitpicking but you might want to consider dropping a de-esser on your vocal tracks when you're processing your videos.

[@KatherineOfSky]

I have no idea what that is :-) I just do YT because I enjoy it.

[@poelmeister]

I just found this tutorial (2017 lol) but I think I love you Katherine. ;)

[@KatherineOfSky]

lol Poelmeister!

[@Keilink]

Thanks a lot for this one! :D One thing you said suprised me though, you go from regular belts straight to blue belts, that sounds neat :o

[@KatherineOfSky]

Depends on the needs of the factory :-)

[@GlassDeviant]

This is pretty cool, though a bit overkill for my needs. One thing, Iron chests are a dead-end item. Steel chests can be recycled into the various logistic network chests, while Wooden chests are great for material buffers or, if you use steel chests for even that, burned in forges and boilers. Iron chests cannot be reused for anything.

[@KatherineOfSky]

They can indeed be recycled... I use them at my train stations. I don't need the capacity of steel chests there, (and iron chests are 5 times cheaper than steel ones!)
