Don't mind me, just summarizing the content of each station for myself, because I have to keep coming back to this video and re-watch it every time I land at a new planet: 1. Power: Tesla Tower, Wireless Power Tower, Satellite Substation, Solar Panel 2. Gathering: Mining Machine, Water Pump, Oil Extractor (switch to storage/request 0 where appropriate) 3. Logistics / Production: Conveyor Belt, Sorter, Splitter, Assembling Machine, Arc Smellter (most important #1) 4. Storage: Storage Mk. II, Storage Tank, also Fuel 5. Production: Oil Refinery, Chemical Plant, Fractionator, Miniature Particle Collider 6. Logistics II: Interstellar Logistics Station, Logistics Drone, Logistics Vessel, Space Warper (most important #2) 7. Sphere stuff: Ray Receiver, Artificial Star, EM Rail Ejector, Vertical Launching Silo (usually not requested, except for Artificial Star) 8. Foundation: Foundation (full request, most important #3)

[@realKrovax]

I was waiting for this when you announced to do more tutorials. I will apply this next sessions. Much appreciated!

[@c0rr4nh0rn]

A comment on warper output: always outflow from the requested slot (#1-5) of the tower not #6 so that the import doesn't accidentally empty its reserve used to send ships to fetch more. I might also indent the cube line at the tower position 1 to improve the efficiency of identifying the locations.

[@Nilaus]

good point on an edge case that can cause problems in rare situations

[@papajimg9238]

Thank you, this is great!! I can't wait for the next 2 tutorials, they're gonna be super interesting, both the fault lines/meridians tutorial & the hub supplier tutorial

[@ryankl1984]

Nice! That looks amazing. Purple matrix cubes are like the cherry on top. I feel like they are the most under used item in the game currently. Lots of potential for making really cool builds with them. For example: I was thinking about going out and making a RGB planet/ gamer planet with them just for fun.

[@salemprompthous3820]

[@deanlawson6880]

I love this build for setting up a new planet! The only thing that would make it "better" would be to just lay down a quick Blueprint of this setup all in one whack! I really like this Nilaus - Nicely done!

[@andy.c527]

Love this. If you're building the charging station at the poles you can put the wireless towers in a circle with 2 extras on opposite prime meridians and have 12 charging at once as opposed to 8

[@ChristianAkacro]

Yes! I've seen this requested of Nilaus so many times and he's never addressed it!

[@Nilaus]

I honestly never use the charging anymore, so it has not really been a focus to optimise for me. Once you get Antimatter the idea of a charging station is irrelevant.

[@saintcabbage]

This is kind of genius, I always am carting stuff back and forth and always forget something. It seems so unintuituve that these dont require power to receive so I never think to do it this way.

[@salemprompthous3820]

Have had a few New Game runs, and the first 3-4 were deleted cause of all the mess made by the Italian chefs living in my cluster. But when @Nilaus started his Let's Play, I learned a lot, and even though I had figured out the use of towers before his episode, @Nilaus taught me I had not learned enough. Love how he went about "abusing" the ILPs, and starting every build with them 😁

[@Agent.J]

Hey nilaus... How about Pub (Polar hUB) instead of polar hub? *Edit:yeah, i know it's bad :p

[@raingaming8]

Now that I've finished the game, I would now want to learn your methods in a 2nd playthrough :) I tend to handcraft some of the buildings too...would want a more efficient build on how to automate them efficiently without the spaghetti belts

[@MoDlegion]

Making a mall saves you soo much time, figuring out how to make a decent one is tricky though. Most of the basic buildings can made from circuits + iron + gears, 2 require glass (chemical plant + lab) and a few require steel/bricks. The more advances building quickly become very complex because of the high level components they require and how little overlap there is between reusable items so it ends up with about 1 tower per building :(. A good tutorial on this would probably help a lot of people though!

[@raingaming8]

@@MoDlegion agreed. Well i do have some automation for the more basic buildings. I automated the stations much later as well as other buildings but looms pretty inefficient haha..so yeah this time around make them much earlier and enjoying the game more slowly. I think I was focused more on uploading the white science first

[@briancates3576]

Check out the episode where he makes yellow science. He shows how to set up a hub for the more advanced buildings. Basically its just a ring of towers that feed a single assembler. It super effective (which all his builds are) at both automating complicated builds you only need in low supply and getting them in the logistics network for expansion later

[@anialator1000000]

Only thing to note, 3:30 is optional. Min load is only for sending vessels. The global hub must be set to 10%, and then it will send the vessels out to the expansion at 10% regardless of what the expansion stations are set at, as seen at 4:25 for the miners. You probably won't have much issues with not setting min load for all the stations that only you take from, such as the belts, though it will likely be useful for ones like power to do so on the planet since the main global hub might get overloaded with requests if you have dozens of planets all requesting materials

[@Nilaus]

it is not optional and it is not only for sending vessels. If the sending ILS has 100% and the receiving has 10% then the receiving ILS will dispatch a vessel at 10%. This can be used to prioritise one among multiple requesters by setting it lower than the other requesters

[@linamishima]

That's amazing, thank you for the tutorial! I'm about to start colonising my second system, so this will make life so much easier!

[@Byzantine_Ball]

Thank you I was about to colonize my black hole and now I can do it more easily

[@cheesecakenl1980]

I really like your DSP content. Your way of building and strive for effectiveness but also looking clean really resembles my playstyle. Keep up the great work :)

[@qloshae]

Would note that from what I know, the first warper slot is what it requests and stores, the second one is what the station has in its warper slot, so you should pull from the first, not the second.

[@Chiller0871]

I couldn't smash the like button fast enough, I'm using this from now on

[@blkspade23]

So a decent kick start system can be made with an accumulator being passed between 2 exchangers in a loop with direct conveyers. With the charging one off the main grid, with enough renewable power to get that accumulator charged. It good way to get production started back up if power ever ends up lost in a gap of energy delivery.

[@badejong]

Great tutorial Nilaus. Well done! 👍👍👍

[@GeorgeDayIV]

Truly a temple to effectiveness.

[@Elkatook666]

deuterium rods always come out of tower 4 to feed the mini-suns in the middle of the hub , and warpers are always coming out of tower 6 if the hub is built in the same design every time, you should be able to remember which tower number is which from these clues, and stop clicking one "oh this is 3, so i need 2 to the right ... etc" you should always be able to see which ones are 4 and 6

[@Nilaus]

you would think that...

[@MorganWahbi]

thanks for all your work.

[@robbiesmith79]

@nilaus. I do 1 more step. I take 1-2 conveyor belts and drag out to the sides what's in slots 1-5 just so I can see at a glance what's inside. It creates an icon of the items inside.

[@STEVEC66]

I noticed last night that you seem to be able to change the name of the logistics station. Not sure if it's of any practical use. I'd suggest using some cubes to label your hub points (or at least mark #1) for faster orientation.

[@drowsytime]

I like Temple of Effectiveness better

[@Hephaestus_God]

Blue prints save all data. So all you have to do is build one... make a blue print.. and have instant copys that take 2 seconds whenever you go to a new planet. (if there is stuff in the way just hide it with the support)

[@ClockworkOuroborous]

Very nice. I've had a few experiences with sailing off into the void.

[@ThereWasATime]

Great tutorial Nilaus! Thank you!

[@MoDlegion]

On the 'load of vessel', doesn't this value actually not mean anything for the purely receiving towers? The number of items being put into the sending vessels would be controlled by the source tower right, so you'd actually have to set the load % on those towers to either 1 or 10% to actually have them send out fewer items if more are available. Great tutorial either way though, I'm using your design myself as its amazing because indeed you always forget or run out if items otherwise. I tried making my own design (its part of the fun of the game for me, I don't just want to copy builds from other players) not on the pole but that is just not efficient with regards to space, it will be hard to come up with a 'better' design than this because it also allows you to make adjustments if you want (like adding more towers for sending stuff out, or using energy exchangers etc)

[@Nilaus]

It does actully matter. The min load is the minimum amount needed to send a vessel. So if the sending side is set to 100% and tge receiving side is set to 10%, then a vessel from the receiving side will go out at 100. In both cases they will transport 1000 if that is what is available

[@tuxino]

My guess is that both towers' value for minimum load is taken into account, but that it is interpreted by the game as "Don't allow a ship with less than this amount.". This means that if the two towers have different values, it is the higher one that counts. This should be easily tested in the game, but I don't have it (yet).

[@MoDlegion]

@@Nilaus hmm if it just sends out whatever is available that is a little bit dangerous for the more expensive/slow building items. I tend to limit buildings in the sending towers to 100 anyways though so it shouldn't be that big of an issue, but if you want to use bigger buffers for an item (e.g. because multiple locations are requesting), but you want to send out smaller batches this would definitely not act as expected. Not sure if there are any practical cases where this would be a problem though. I don't really have the time to test the specifics and it works good enough for now but I can image at some point this will confuse some people =).

[@andy.c527]

@@Nilaus we need a max load slider ASAP

[@StormCrow42]

The other thing to consider is that even if the load% didn't matter for the initial unpowered delivery, later restock deliveries might be dispatched from the planet.

How about using vessels to number the towers? Tower 3 has 3 vessels, tower 6 has 6.

[@tlheart]

This works great when far into the tech tree, not so much when first starting to explore, with limits due to resources.

By the time you start tapping your 3rd star for resources, at the latest, you should be capable of using this strategy.

[@tlheart]

@@ChristianAkacro Sure, But I am talking about your first exploration into the star system... need a tutorial for that part of the game, not the end game, where you can waste ships, towers, resources.

[@Nilaus]

I would recommend doing this (to the extent possible) on the very first new planet you visit. Obviously not with the Stars and maybe with only 4 ILS, but set it up so you don't have to ferry things manually between the first planets. You don't have warp and your sail speed is limited to 1000, so it does take time between the first few planets

[@yramid6770]

You do great work with DSP. Need to hone my industrialization skills in DSP and your videos give great inspiration

[@kaischreurs2488]

you don't really need all 9 charge towers in the charging station as you can't stand in the middle because of the center tower so only 8 towers are charging you, you can lose the center tower and you will still be charged as fast

[@GlobalWarmingSkeptic]

The easiest way is through accumulators and exchangers actually. If you make enough accumulators you can cycle them to your home planet when they get empty. That's how I do it for interstellar energy

[@kiranmeyers6558]

Antimatter and artificial stars are much more space efficient

[@oconnor663]

This doesn't take any non-energy resources once your stock of accumulators is full, which is pretty cool. It'll also automatically restart, if delivery stops temporarily for some reason.

@@kiranmeyers6558 That works too but your power surplus doesn't get put to use without exchangers and accumulators at some point. For planets that require at least one artificial star full of power that is definitely true though.
