[@ITAndroMedian]

When you'll get to the ancient gate, can you try to rebuild it in a different place, like close to a star? The point is, you wouldn't have to bring an entire antimatter hyperpower plant to the middle of nothing, and it might be possible to get away with a Dyson sphere's worth of solar panels.

Its difficult, when you're not familiar with robust train networks, and basic circuit usage, but quite a lot of fun as well. You can do SE+K2 which might make it easier, especially if you already know how K2 works.

And there it is, well done. I finished my run at 253 hours (tough to be fair, I used a combination of the Aircraft mod with the programmable vehicles part of AAI to trivialize biters entirely. Imagine how powerful a spidertron with built-in personal lasers is. Now imagine 50 of them, except they can fly. Except for Asteroid Defense on spaceships, my run had 0 turret kills due to me completely eliminating all biters on every planet prior to building anything there) One thing you didnt make use of is the unique property of Foenestra being the same distance away from any given point in space. So instead of flying 30 minutes to an Asteroid Field, you can fly 5 minutes to Foenestra and 5 to the Asteroid Field from there. As an added bonus it also means you never have to deal with the higher asteroid density. It does make automation slightly more complicated, but not impossible. It might not be necessary depending on how close your Naquitite-rich Asteroid Field is, but it can save time. And serve as a refueling point if you're me and insist on using Spaceships using ONLY rocket fuel. I had an oil planet setup that made 180 rocket fuel per second even after the pumpjacks reach minimum yield, so I didnt have to care about shooting it into space in the millions. And then scrap the entire Refueling nonsense once Antimatter was unlocked. I set up "enough" production to supply 2 of every science per second, which included about 4 belts of each of the advanced resources, except vitamelange, which required 7. And to illustrate how ridiculously expensive Tier 9 modules are, I made 36 Prod 9 modules to put into my labs. It ate my entire vitamelange buffer (which included several warehouses worth, plus the landing pad storage), aswell as all the intermediates and crippled my bioscience for almost 5 hours worth of playtime (At a production of over 300 extract per second). A single of those modules takes over 75k Extract assuming you're making every intermediate with prod 3s. Almost 3 million Extract for just 36 modules. Not counting the catalogues. Why even bother adding them if it is cheaper to just build your entire solarsystems worth of infrastructure a second time. Efficiency modules at least start scaling exponentially, but once you have an Energy Beam setup shooting out 200+ GW of power, who cares.

[@allenm1024]

"Here's a list of people who have recognized that threat and deicded to pay me tribute." I was laughing so hard at this line. Your delivery is always so incredible, amazing work on this video and the first two!! Your work is inspiring and so well-done.

[@wilshireanasurimbor3068]

Love it. Very well done. Would you consider doing a retrospective review of the mod? I'd be curious to hear what you thought it did well, and what needs improvement. Sounds like this mod was really grinding you down at the end, which is understandable, but it seems you missed out on some fun automation with spaceships, especially in space where you can use ships instead of trains to teleport around the map... Anyway, once again great job, this was amazing to watch Would it piss you off if you found out you missed something? Its not consequential, obviously you won, but it would have saved you hours of flight time. Spoilers: the 'place' that the ring is at is equally far from every asteroid belt2 and every asteroid field. You are somehow supposed to notice this by checking the deltaV in the GUI when you are there. The obvious implication is that every star, asteroid field, and belt2 is the same distance from Nauvis, and you can route your ships through there, anchoring briefly, and send them on to their final destination. Saves lots of time, and fuel. This is especially useful when your best naq field is far away, and saves tons of time collecting spheres and placing anchors. Cheers!

Also would it be possible at all to get a screenshot of the main space base as it appears on the map? It looks like a silicon blueprint and it would be very pleasing to look at.

I would actually be really interested in your thoughts/review of Space Exploration. I kinda bounced off of it the one time I tried it and didn't enjoy how extensively grindy it is, but it's *so popular* that I'm curious why so many people love it so much and are so invested in it/hope that it is incorporated into the base game.

[@SiverJohn]

If I'm not mistaken the modder now works for Factorio so I'm sure some of the ideas will make it to the base game. But SE is incredibly grindy (and the most recent update appears to make that grind worse tbh) but there are some things that can feel very satisfying and once you've gotten a hand of base Factorio you kind of just want something different. Also out of all the mods I've seen it hands down looks the best which a lot of people care about aesthetics in factory building more over practicality.

1:02:35 I don't know what your solve function does but the question is pretty simple actually. the question asks you just to convert plane coordinates into world coordinates basically. which is something easily doable if you get a vector from top left to top right, and top left to bottom left and multiply it by the respective target cell coordinate and add the top left since that is your starting position. here's what it looks like in python def burbulator(TL, TR, BL, grid, targetx, targety): return ( (TR - TL) / grid / 2 * (targetx * 2 - 1) + (BL - TL) / grid / 2 * (targety * 2 - 1) + TL ) here's a sample use case import numpy as np TL = np.array([1, 0, 0]) TR = np.array([0, 1, 0]) BL = np.array([0, 0, 1]) print(burbulator(TL, TR, BL, 4, 2, 3)) # [0. 0.375 0.625] needs numpy but the math is so simple you can probably change the function so that it doesn't even need numpy.

I dont play factorio and probably never will now ive really gotten consumed by Dwarf Fortress. However i still enjoy these videos immensly. They are deeply satisfying,expecially when all the,well everything on the belts flows nicely together with an pleasing looking builds. Like from me

Your base designs are beautiful.

1st video: this mod looks nice, should try it. 2nd video: it's quite complex, gonna be cool to do it! 3rd video: okay, I am not doing this! You have to be totally insane to get through it. Thank you, but I value my sanity. That was great to watch thought, thank you for not only getting through it, but making this super short videos xD

Loved the audio clip of the Stargate SG-1 intro theme in the beginning lmao

I find it kind of interesting how as I've been playing through this mod (+k2), my preferred video to go to sleep with has also progressed through the series.
