"Make Everything HUB": Every Item; Available Anywhere | Tutorial / Master Class

[@dumaskhan]

your BPs make the game just so much more smooth. Your attention to details and need to make everything line up makes for a great looking planet. keep up the good work.

[@Nilaus]

Blueprints available here: nilaus.atlassian.net/l/cp/sZpQfw21 Continuously updated. Enjoy!

[@jmiddleton56]

Nilaus! No link to the early game hub, just a reminder :)

[@xavierbaques8803]

Awesome videos and blueprints. I'm following you since I started watching your amazing Factorio series. I think it would be awesome to see blueprints also for the materials done with 1 and 2 inputs in the assemblers (like gears)

[@LucasBrandstaetter]

Just a FYI: The "New Make Everything HUB/New Early HUB (Upgraded with ILS)" has an Oil Extractor in it that I don't think belongs there.

[@Xenrutcon]

Thanks Nilaus! I really like the new design. You put a lot of work into making it efficient, and we all appreciate that!

[@VesuviasV]

In a recent patch they allowed storage boxes to be placed over spliters (this is huge for blueprint design). Some of your newest designs would benefit from this. For instance the #3 storage in your New Early Hub you could get rid of all of the inserters on the buffers and you never need to upgrade the spliters, plus less power usage. You can still put logistics on the storage boxes.

[@boganfett]

Thank you so much for these updates! This couldn't have come at a better time as I'm finally expanding out from my home system and was at a loss on how to avoid "starting over"

[@marzix427]

You are awesome for allowing us to use your blueprints like these. I build my stuff out with some of your earlier builds in mind, but these new builds each iteration gets better. I cannot wrap my head around any of some of these more elaborate designs and I thank you for enjoying your work with me and everyone else. This game is so complex and simple at the same time. I do worry that combat is going to make it not quite the same game, but I look forward to trying it again. I still have not built more than 1 dyson sphere in now my 4th game play through and have not built an artificial sun or even really worked much with any of the new miners, smelters, proliferators (except a few early builds I have from following your twitch VODs). Keep it up, I always try to check out all of your new games and have half of them on my Steam wishlist in hopes that when I have funds for them, I can pick them up and play some because of you.

[@JoshuaGutz]

I just started playing this game about two weeks ago and I'm hooked, about 65 hours in so far. I've watched a lot of your content before ever starting the game, your content is one of the main reasons I started playing. I just wanted to say thanks and keep it up! Also, with these blueprints, they're incredible, and I'm currently personally torn as to whether I want to try and come up with my own design or snag yours. Some of the most fun times in the game has been designing the layouts of things, but then some of the most frustrating times in the game have been when that design ends up being one square too narrow or wide. As a perfectionist I have to remove and rebuild it all one square over. On that note, I've just been making a blueprint of what I want to move, then removing it and stamping the blueprint at the new spot. There's not an easier way to move many belts and buildings and ILSs and PLSs just one square is there? There's so much to this game, maybe I'm just missing it. For example, last night I discovered if I have a few random things in my inventory and want to get rid of it I can find a belt running that item and just hold Tab to drop the item on the belt. The game just knows what item it is and what to drop. That was much easier than what I was doing before. I also like your use of the fidget spinners to clear random stuff from your inventory. Anyway, thanks for your videos!

[@cbk882]

You are so the man, I can't believe it. Stamping these down and then analysing them beeing built, they are real masterpieces, thanks a lot. I just found a small tweak in the new early hub: when you move apart the sorters on the gear-belt between the third "gear"- and the "mining-machine"-assembler, a spray coater fits in there and is able to proliferate the gears, so all gear-needing assemblers can pump up the output as well 🙂

[@maelstromeous]

Absolutely legendary blueprint this is Nilaus, serious dedication to the craft and fully appriciate your work here... it's saved me LITERAL hours!

[@50shadesofskittles9]

Nice work. I respect how your blueprints are free instead of behind a pay wall

[@AdamSaxton]

Love it! One thing that may be helpful is to have an icon marker on the belt behind the assember indicating what it should build? If I stamp this down early on, a lot of the assemblers won't have the recipe defined. I've found myself in the past fumbling around to figure out which one it should build as I unlock. With the icon marker behind it (assuming that would even show if i haven't unlocked it) it's an easy quick check. Just a thought.

[@tristen9736]

At least with this one, hover over the logistics distributors. Those are filtered to the specific output

[@Pouncer_Fox]

If anybody can pull something like this off, I knew it would be you. Congrats and thank you for sharing this fascinating video.

[@floofynuggets]

Nilaus at this point I don't even like using your blueprints because it's gotten too easy to play the game. But I absolutely have internalized your design language for approaching new builds / setting up new planets. Some of the most important conventions: polar hubs with ILS's, PLS's for the builds on the planet, allocating planetary sectors for appropriate builds, having a dedicated smelting planet where "basic items" are all manufactured from, and much more I'm sure. On my current playthrough I'm creating a dedicated planet to produce white cubes @ 30 / sec, and I'm using what I learned from your previous masterclass on designing factories. Avoiding the blueprints but adopting the principles :)

[@sylveas47]

Super neat and awesome build. Thank you very much. I'm enjoying it a lot.

[@mikegamerguy4776]

Damn bro, must have taken a lot of time to solve that puzzle. Appreciate your effort.

[@parkeshark8778]

Perfect timing, I recently built your previous early game logistics hub (which was very useful even though I'm in midgame!) and I was in the process of making changes in order to upgrade the belts/sorters/assemblers, but you've saved me the trouble. The make everything hub also looks super helpful because I need so many particle colliders to make strange matter for all my space warpers. One tiny little comment about the previous early game hub: I noticed that every other basic component has dedicated storage except the basic donut magnets (the ones just made from iron ore). I wanted to extend the hub to make the super-magnetic rings, so I ended up sticking one extra arc smelter hooked up to a storage box with a logistics hat, but I'm sure you would be able to make a much nicer system for it! It's not that important but I thought I would let you know.

[@cobster79]

Nice rework of the hub :) but i would really like to see a "support factory" that produce all thats needed for the hub from raw materials

[@Nilaus]

It is an interesting design challenge, but probably not something I would do as it doesn't really fit with my style. I prefer to build separate factories for each product

[@vertice30c26]

Always like to see the neat builds!

[@natemarion9510]

Nilaus, you ever thought about adding automatic reclamation to your factories? Rather than producing literally everything in one factory, you could also set up specialized builds that use 2 or more ILS, and have one of them requesting the finished product, and the other supplying. When you're done building on a planet, you can toggle the remote hub from request to supply, and all the unused buildings go back to the production facility automatically to be reallocated.

[@danielsterling15]

Beautiful work sir!

[@Kzoiks]

fyi; One of the blueprints is broken as it only contain spaces, it's in \Intermediate Products - ILS\Electromagnetic Turbine 18.8.txt (iirc those are old anyway but might want to delete that one). Definitely could use some better system for naming blueprint folders/categories, it's kinda hard to tell what's actually "new" when half the folders are called "new..." and most of them don't have any description either, it's good you're now starting to use those! At least the blueprints do get a creation date included so after checking all the folders you get what you're looking for but maybe old designs that have been replaced with newer/better designs could all be archived under one "old/deprecated" folder? (And maybe use actual version numbers for updated designs rather than "new" make it v2.0, v2.1 for hotfix, etc.. saves all the headaches of renaming things later)

[@王沛升]

Quick note: Now you can put small box on top of a spliter, it can directly in/output from the box.

[@vortexianx]

Wait, what?! That's now possible? That would make for some interesting designs.

[@王沛升]

@@vortexianx Exactly, and I'm alredy using it a lot, really usful for trying to sneak a box between building and raise belt at a same time like a hub or bus. Also, because of the hitbox of spliter form is much smaller, you can sandwich it between two blets and put a box on it.

[@stevenape377]

Excellent work as always, Nilaus.

[@bakkerem1967]

Thanks alot Nilaus !

[@SalvaBarbus]

Mandatory engagement comment for the glory of the algorithm, but daaaaamn, these blueprints are SEXY!

[@AladorP]

I recently picked up DSP and found your videos, thank you for all the effort you put into this content! I started using your blueprints and found out there is a small error in the "New Make Everything HUB/New Early HUB (Upgraded with ILS)", namely the fidget spinners assembler is fed by a storage box that has Green Turbines instead of Engines.

[@sylveas47]

Noticed a missing sorter at the Logistic vessel assembler coming from the thruster.

[@sylveas47]

In the polar blueprint. There is an oil extractor in the New early hub with ILS/PLS blueprint.

[@mynam3iswh4t58]

awesome new HUB it would be great if you make new playlist of making every single item efficiently just like previous episode of Processor :))

[@smalls6218]

Love your videos. Played along with factorio and now on DSP. I appreciate your blueprints are free but I was wondering if you did a build video for this new hub. I would love to build it rather than copy paste even if it’s designed for me.

[@VoodooChile_42]

Looks fantastic! Now for the grueling organizational task of replacing my old hub with the new one at the same place without wasting a single material 😅

[@Marval150]

Awesome work like always :)

[@gro967]

Very nice design, the only very picky improvement would be to remove all the splitters at the ray receivers, because they are single threaded and generally a bad idea to use, if you want to optimize UPS/FPS (like are solar panels and pilers).

[@yaka2490]

outstanding mate love it

[@ericlala]

I hope you add the energy exchanger to charge them on the polar hub. also you're missing a sorter for the thruster feeding logistic vessel

[@Sevensup]

"...and god forbid, wind turbines." Wind Turbines, "Fear keeps them in line."

[@Unwoven]

NILAUS, processors and turbines please your builds are so masterfully created

[@YarrWoze]

Nilaus your content and organization/build skills are amazing! A long time ago before blueprints was the advanced assembler/sorter/belts unit. Can we get a blueprint of that please? Thanks again for your awesome content!!

[@danie8267]

Nilaus i love your videos can u maybe do a master class ok the dyson sphere please🙈❤️

[@count3rcultured]

Well I know what I'm doing tonight now! Thanks Nilaus! I owe my entire current playthrough to your blueprints and guidance

[@Dream1Verse]

I’m beginning to like the planetary logistics. At first I was thing I was never going to use these and now I solely use. (Plus it makes some mods easier to manage)

[@charleswheeler9028]

Will spinners from the north pole reach the whole planet or just the northern hemisphere?

[@hakejam]

Love the new design. Tested it out last night. The warpers got stuck in the loop and couldn't fill the ILS. One never filled to 50. The other (where it was imported) varied under the import amount. Not sure what the fix is, I ended up removing a portion of the belts so that it doesn't loop.

[@Nilaus]

sounds like you didn't have enough warpers. It needs to be saturated, not just a few circling through

[@CaptainDavidius]

I'm going to change the warper belt on mine to go through a splitter on the pole

[@StefanDomnanovits]

It is beautiful.

[@Hust91]

Found some very compact ones using surprisingly effective sushi belts with anti-fill mechanisms, have you taken a gander at those?

[@FatesDesign]

is there a ILS early game hub complete blueprint i cant seem to find it

[@JDalkinn]

A couple of questions. 1) Is the yellow matrix band just an aesthetic choice? I see a similar band around the equator which doesn't appear to have a direct function. 2) There is an assembler without a recipe. There are no sorters into it, either. Is it supposed to be set to something? Looks like a remnant of something.

[@Taeolas]

The yellow matrix bands are just aesthetics; part of Nilaus's "signature" if you will. I suspect the empty assembler is just there for future updates if/when something else is released and otherwise there for aesthetic reasons to keep the pattern.

[@HSkraekelig]

I'm torn between downloading the blueprints or spending the next week or two trying to duplicate them. Let me think ... :)

[@markomuncan6811]

masterpiece!!

[@damianxd720]

yo Nil, why don't you do any belt sorcery in any of your builds? it's pretty epic stuff.

[@Nilaus]

I play the game as intended and don't abuse game mechanics. Just not my style

[@delroyclarke1989]

Thanks for these updates, love the episode , keep up with the good work :) just a quick question, how do you get that personalised thing on the back of the mecha?

[@Nilaus]

I have no idea how to do that. A community member (BakedBeans) made it for me and I love it so I have had no reason to make any changes

[@delroyclarke1989]

@Nilaus ah right i see

[@drac124]

So the "Make Everything Hub" will replenish the player with stuff, but the "Request Everything to Here" will not? The request everything to here have only 2 logistic distributors.

[@mas2on45]

what about upgrade PLS/ILS storage and vessel capacity? if vessel can transporting 2000 cargo but your ILS have only 100, 10% cant transport for you?

[@mas2on45]

maybe better 1%)

[@blindender9979]

I cant find the circuit blueprint

[@ellesedil6772]

Looks like there's an assembling machine in the video without a pattern to build. Was that intentional?

[@Nilaus]

yes, there are 20 slots, but only 19 things to build, so I left 1 empty for whatever gets added next

[@heavencanceler2691]

Ah, I kinda have to put this on an entire new planet because my homéworld where I put that basic hub/mall has been spagetthi'd and turned into a bit of a mess with random shit thrown together and ISLs all messy and I really cannot be bothered to remove and rework all the stuff that is in the way. (That and I am terrible at upscaling so my energy there is equally terrible.) so I decided to just say screw it and put stuff on a new world.... that said I may drop the game for a few months again. Placing stuff is kinda getting tedious, I have no idea how people don't get bored of throwing another miner or placing another factory for X. Not to mention I sometimes end up distracted fixing a minor thing and before I know it hours have passed and I basically did nothing worthwhile except increase the fairly small production of some random thing by like 10%.

[@heavencanceler2691]

Alright wait I have only automated the most basic resource production and don't have a pool of more advanced stuff like the Coils set up in ILS oh damn... now I would have to also make that stuff too. Urgh.... yeah I think I may drop the game again.

[@Unbelishitable]

Nice

[@Yardiff]

Here's a tip/upgrade for this "Make Everything HUB" - there is no need to use Mk III Sorters. Instead: * place a Splitter * place a Box on top * place a Logistics Distributor * FEED 1-4 BELTS DIRECTLY INTO THE SPLITTER It fills the box as fast as the belt/s can handle it. Players might also find this very useful with beginning bases, feeding the output of several smelting lines (for example 4x Iron lines) easily into a single box - without requiring Sorters and Power Poles of any type. Power is only required once the Logistics Distributors are researched and put on top of the boxes with drones. Hopefully that's a cool tip for you-all, I suspect that it will spark a change in Nilaus' New Logistics HUB. If I manage to catch his next Dyson Sphere Program stream on Twitch I'll mention it.

[@Yardiff]

Another enhancement: Use a splitter-and-box as a pass-through buffer. Like the liquid tank, stuff put in goes out the other side. Stack boxes and do these in series to make larger buffers. As the tech gets researched, the splitter will also stack the items it puts on the belt. I'm not sure if the liquid tank does that.

[@demiareu8741]

As I remember devs posts (around ~Jan 2022) - it's better for performance to NOT use splitters if you could do it with sorters. Did they fixed that? UPD. They also advised to NOT use storage boxes a lot in end-game designs too (same issues with performance) :)

[@TheBombanater]

I'm curious if Nilaus is a full time you tuber or if he has a irl job. Cause if he has a job he needs to become a MEMS Engineer

[@Nilaus]

Full time Content Creator. Used to work in logistics and I am an engineer

[@sipofsunkist9016]

i like calling systems like this a “Mall”

[@Nilaus]

if you are a sub-urban teenage girl who is looking for a place to hang out then I suppose that would be an appropriate terms. If you are a logistics engineer building a galaxy spanning supply chain, then the correct term is a HUB. The choice is yours ;)

[@azcoigreach2167]

[@LazyLoneLion]

I'm sorry to say it but at the moment this BP is quite broken.

[@Lightningshattr]

so this is a item mall hub, how about you make a request hub on a differend planet, i have trouble making one in a good way...

[@planet666]

I am so fed up. This game needs good brain.

[@misterz-tv4887]
