anyone else feel like they need to be taking notes while watching these amazingly informative videos, that or end up rewatching it 17 times? just me?

No need to take notes, the video isn't going anywhere ;) And hey, rewatching it 17 times isn't a bad thing to support me!

This was extremely helpful, thank you! After 60 (extremely inefficiently allocated due to being new) hours, I have a deep-seated desire to abandon my starter factory and build a beautifully organized and optimized new one, but between the alternate recipes and the unlocked upgrades, I keep getting paralyzed by indecision on what exactly to build, how to set production targets, what recipes to use, what items to focus on, etc. The way you mapped out modular blue prints makes so much sense and takes out a little of that fear of where to start the next phase. Great stuff!

Great video! I've started adding beams to help run power and add structure to my floating platforms, its really helpful. One thing I would like to add is while running pipes under the machines is cleaner you can run into issues with fluids trying to flow up into the machines. I like to use walls to place vertical pipe splitters a few meters above the inputs and outputs so all the fluids flow down into the machines. By doing both and some creative pipework I was able to fit 8 blenders set for diluted fuel in a mk2 blueprint with 0 clipping.

Using sloops for alien DNA and power shards (slugs) is very useful. Geothermal powerplants pair nicely with power storage blueprints to keep power stable for cheap. I also really enjoy using explosive rebar guns when exploring. It blows up mostly everything the nobelisk does, but for me, it is easier to aim.

Just jumping around and gathering junk around crash sites and random sloops and spheres, I got a power augmenter and geothermal before my first oil. 10/10, easy electricity. Also, would recommend having JP fuel and nobelisks in the dimensional depot.
@TheDutchActuary2 ай бұрын
Totally agree on the fuel - the fuel build from a few episodes ago includes a depot setup with packaged fuel. Nobelisks I typically just craft a bunch by hand, but if you have them automated the depot allows you to basically blow up the world. Could be fun! :D

are you going to continue expanding your current factory platform with the tillable blueprints? I am wondering because I am following along and making the same blueprints that you make but I made my platform 1m foundations and not 2m. I'm worried that if I make your blueprints 2m they wont mesh good with my current platform. Great vids btw I love following alone your masterclass series.
@TheDutchActuary2 ай бұрын
You can just use your own blueprints! Its definitely not needed to follow my builds 1 to 1, in fact, I would encourage you to adjust things to your own style!

Question about the refinery blueprint, how high is it off teh ground? I built it 8m high to have the machines line up with the top of the logistics floor blueprint but it refuses to snap.
@TheDutchActuaryАй бұрын
Mine has 2x4m foundations before the main floor, but that doesnt quite align with the logistics floor (as that has a 2m foundation underneath). I solved that by simply manually placing the first refinery blueprint in each factory, then snapping the others to the first.
@Fenikkusu14Ай бұрын
@TheDutchActuary ah gotcha, I understand
@Fenikkusu14Ай бұрын
@@TheDutchActuary So do you place a version of the refinery without the logistics and then snap the rest? I found my issue, I had built the template wrong lol.
@j3st3r33Ай бұрын
I watched your video on blueprints from a year ago where you moved to single machine blueprints with inputs and outputs stacked and no logistics floor. Can you share any reflections you have that led you back to this logistics floor multi-machine approach?
@TheDutchActuaryАй бұрын
Ultimately it's a bit cleaner looking, and the logistics floor makes the later-game logistcs easier to set up. Working with belts on the ceiling is *almost* like you're flying above them - rather than jumping over them a thousand times. That said, I had a lot of fun with my earlier design as well so its just a bit of preference. I've done a few runs by now and I generally just pick a certain style at the beginning and stick with it ;)
@journeymanic9605Ай бұрын
Maybe i missed your reasoning in another video, but isnt it usually unadvisible to feed refineries from below? Do you use a water tower setup earlier in the pipeline odmr something?
@TheDutchActuaryАй бұрын
I'm actually feeding the refineries from above in the endgame blueprint - but feeding them from below isn't too bad as long as you keep your pipelines simple.

am i missing something here as to how youre getting the outputs into the splitters in the logisitics floor? i see no lifts or holes??
@TheDutchActuaryАй бұрын
The holes & lifts are there, but you can attach a splitter right onto a lift. You can still see the lifts from the back, but they get mostly hidden that way.
