Bought the game on Saturday, played for 26 hours, and here Nilhaus is with the exact guide that I need in my playthrough!

[@thefactorymustgrowlarger3947]

No h in Nilaus :)

[@lilillililii]

I understand you have to do things off-camera but people following you step by step ,like I am, are saying "when/where/how did we get animal feed all the sudden?" Loving the series man. Thanks

Might be a good idea to lay a fuel pipe to supply the diesel to the dock that receives crude oil for the build. This would make the build more self sufficient and cut down on persistent truck traffic keeping in running. There are already crude oil pipes running from the dock to the refinery so it might look reasonable to run a fuel pipe back in parallel with them. Later on as this pipe is at the coast already it could be used as a fuel line to fuel other docks nearby.

"Oh cool, everything is running great.... Oh noo!!" - Me every ten minutes in this game. Its awesome.

I set up warnings for all the important stuff, but miss to see the pop up in the corner and the spiral of death soon incoming..

@@atle2008 fighting through the problems is worth it. I finally launched a rocket.

[@0623kaboom]

most of his problems are the simple fact his trucks are too small for the needs of his colony ... he needs to replace them all with the bigger trucks ... for every pick up truck he swaps out and replaces he gets effectively 2 free pick up trucks back ... 60 units per truck instead of 20 ... more resources moved less need to return to the exact same place ... so more stuff gets looked after EVERY streamer of this game is running into the exact same problem ... they are NOT upgrading their main mode of supply .. the TRUCKS ... they are all playing with the processes ... but each and every process starts with a TRUCK ... small truck slow work ... big truck faster work ...

[@enire8477]

Not following the extra 3 air separators logic. You can pipe balance both the oxygen and nitrogen prioritizing the builds for each and burning off the excess for free. I know some people get caught up on the pipes when they try to equal balance and use different size pipes, but here since its priority to the build even that wouldn't have snagged you up. I guess overall it is only 18 extra workers and 120kw

[@DelScorch0]

I literally was searching for this Nilaus a half an hour ago. Awesome timing!!

[@Nilaus]

I guess you found "this Nilaus". There are a few Nilaus around, but only this one makes factories

Please don´t get me wrong. I understand what you want to say, and i agree, but: it´s 3rd, as in ThiRD. Just to help you to improve yourself as i want people help me to improve myself.

[@xlerb2286]

If somebody want's to criticize my work my answer is always (where it's safe to do so) "good, here are the tools, show me what you can do". I'm not so perfect that I don't on occasion learn something. But usually it's the other person that does most of the learning ;) Which is fine, a little lesson that things aren't as easy as they look is good for everyone, me included. I love clean, understandable, designs, one reason why I enjoy Nilaus's videos so much.

[@meikgeik]

Why not add 1-2 more storage units for construction parts? You're almost always sitting at maximum storage for construction parts while planning your builds, so if you double or triple your storage, you can complete builds quicker.

[@miquelangelperez-de-gregor7116]

I said the same thing 2 o 3 videos ago -___-

[@RavenGhostwisperer]

@@miquelangelperez-de-gregor7116 did that in my game and it makes a huge difference. So satisfying to complete large builds in one go

[@VasiliiAlferov]

You can make it a bit simpler if you take into account that fuel gas produced at stage 3 is just enough to keep all 3 stages running. You can power staged refining by looping back fuel gas and then use heavy oil/gas to power cracking phase.

[@calibian8243]

Can't wait for the next video..this game is so much fun..i love the adv. oil build. could just watch it for hours ^^ just had to put a balancer and a flare at the heavy oil boiler since when it shuts down and then starts again the distillers 1 wont all start up cause of full heavy oil output.

[@EliotGrought]

What I do at home when I back from work at oil refinery? I play oil refinery simulation.

[@ancapftw9113]

One nice thing I would like to see: boilers that can take in seawater and output brine and steam. You can then get fresh water by cooling the steam. More complex than a thermal desalination plant, but you get to use the steam for something. Also, a solar boiler that produces small amounts of steam without fuel would be nice. It would be an expensive way of getting water/steam/power without producing pollution. Not sure if solar and wind turbines are available later.

[@bubbles69138]

yes, solar is in the game :D

[@Beregorn88]

The strange thing about the arrow's color in logistics is that for all the storages the output is green while the input is red

[@0623kaboom]

out makes money or product .... IN costs money or product ... red for cost green for income ... simple basic accounting

[@enire8477]

You are missing a tiny bit of pipe segment on row(or column) 2 of the build

[@CainenLlyod]

Freaking love that you run in the same Coal Problems like me XD. Builded the same Oil Refining in my game....exept with a lot of spagetti °-°

I could watch you lay pipe for days.

[@vulkandrache1928]

Pipe spaghetti is the whole point of these games. Why build a base that just anyone can look at and tell whats going on?

[@bubbles69138]

I think it's a nice build.. Though I'll say you could knock 7 tiles off and condense it a bit and still have no spagetti :D But as always.. LOVE the vids :D

[@Seranov]

I'm really enjoying this series, if only because it's neat to see a new take on the factory builder game. I was wondering if you're still playing Chaos Gate Daemonhunters in your freetime, because I finished watching your VODs of it and you were getting pretty close to the game opening up a bunch, and you should definitely experience the mid and late game! Keep up the great videos.

[@JayRay4924]

@8:41 my sour water stripper keeps backing up with ammonia (I can't use the fertilizer fast enough) so I ended up diverting the extra to a couple of electrolyzers. I haven't run the math but maybe it's enough H2 to support the other recipe? Of course then you would have to check all the other math for diesel/naphtha and run an H2 line into the distillation columns so maybe it's more trouble than just burning the H2 off in a boiler and saving coal.

[@ludovicm5585]

Why not upping the number of truck? they are always very busy and could need some help as you expand.

Hi, could be a stupid question but what is that little H on every units? I could not figured out. Thanks.

your dinky pick up trucks cant keep up with the needs of the island ... you NEED the big tucks one pick up 20 units one BIG truck 60 UNITS that means for every pick up truck you scrap and replace with a big one means you have effectively 3 pickups in one vehicle ... the sooner you deal with that the less likely the pick ups will delay stop or crash your colony

[@0623kaboom]

if they called the new fuel pant a shitty build did they say why .... if they were expecting a compact very small footprint process line then yes it is .... if they were expecting a nice functional design then no .... it all depends on what they call a good build ... like when a doctor asks you about pain on a scale of 1 to 10 ... if they dont KNOW what your 10 is then the scale is shitty .... now if you kick him in the nuts as hard as you can and tell him thats a 6 ... he will know what you mean by a 10 ... all scales need calibration so those reading them know to what level they are set ...

[@s.m.1354]

I really don’t understand why you don’t dig trenches for longer distance pipes. Also in your designs you can use them. Pipes underground looks cleaner bro. Keep in mind some bugs: -if pipe underground is places on level 0. And you drag over it a pipe on level 0 groundlevel, the underground pipe section will disappear. It will create extra accumulation of ground/ore/sand on top of groundlevel to simulate underground expansion. Causing more material to enter the game (exploit material) -a maximum of 4 levels paralel on the same path can be used, even when underground. Otherwise same situation as situation 1 - when 4 paralel levels are used, 1 more perpendicular pipe/conveyor level can cross the section. -you can use 1 pipe with bigger flow capacity than required, to transport multiple products to location. Keep in mind that combined inputs per minute are always higher than combined outputs per minute providing the materials. Hope to have helped you, doing this really improved the satisfaction quality of completing projects in this game.

[@achtsekundenfurz7876]

I'd think that Nilaus is building all the plumbing in plain sight to help the viewers learn which pipe goes where. He is the tutorial after all. Also, even though underground pipes looks "cleaner" his designs are usually very clean and structured -- and for the occasional less-than-clean pipe, there's always a _pipe cleaner_ ;) * _ba-dum tsss_ *

[@Nilaus]

Dude bro... The fact that you have to list all the bugs and limitations is exactly why I don't use unintended mechanics that may be patched any day and ruin the factory.

[@s.m.1354]

@@Nilaus thanks for your advice. I hope the developers will change the maximum level of belts to infinite to not ruin my saves😂
