as someone who played DSP from the start, I can say that building these planet scale factories, especially when you start getting at 100s of items per minute, I would NEVER have done these if there was no blueprinting or dragging, I remember manually putting every single inserter, factory and power pole, those days were cool, but sucked real hard if you wanted to scale up beyond your basic solar system

[@lolyes4947]

yeah I remember playing when game first came out (I think on game pass at the time but I got it on steam now cus I play it enough and its cheap and a nice to have)

[@MG_Steve]

Yup, totally agree, pre-blueprint DSP was painful.

[@buzz1ebee]

I stopped playing after it launched as I was getting RSI from inserters lol. Watching this series is making me want to get back into it. I just need to find the time so I can really dive into it.

[@PyroYeet]

@@MG_Steve the dragging (shift click) update was amazing too but blueprints really sold the deal when it came to universe scale. Imo it would not be nearly possible to expand this much without them

[@lancelot-]

It is still an Early Access game !

[@Christian-jc6gf]

But they were all of them decieved, for another blueprint was made

[@HurricaneRainbowOG]

always appreciate the blueprints, it's like getting a present from Blueprint Santa

[@PeregrineBF]

You're ruining the game by making blueprints that I'm in no way obligated to use! I'll see them, and be tempted to use engineering design processes to make modular builds that can scale up easily, instead of hand-placing every component. A travesty! You're leading people down the path of temptation that those evil engineers created. I'm utterly disgusted, and totally going to unsubscribe. My commenting here surely won't register as "engagement" to the KZbin algorithm, and won't cause it to recommend me more of your videos.

[@team8798]

Christian, You are truly the master here. You break down anything into its simplest components and then explain it with ease. I have learned so much from you, and yet you amaze me with continual regularity. Well done sir.

[@BTG412]

Hey everybody come look at the Blueprint guy that’s ruining the game😮… 😅 I would not want to play still if I did not find your blueprints/videos to guide me in my journey through the game. After the countless replays and restarts that I have done, you will eventually learn how the game works more efficiently, and stop using them so much. His ideas are awesome in the game and help a lot of people

[@Dude29]

Is this video part of a playlist?

[@Mineral4r7s]

Finnneeee. I dont even play this game but since u asked: you are ruining the game by making all these blueprints easily accessible to everyone that wants them. I mean by creating these blueprints you force them down everyones throats theres no way around it.

[@lolyes4947]

Hey, just wondering what is your pc specs? I have this game and am starting to enter mid game? not sure what stages are what but I have things like PLS and ILS automated mk3 belts and starting on purple science with a small Dyson swarm although I am only working on main planet and another in my system (only for silicon and titanium) not playing dark fog(am able to do all on main planet cus I'm using a stackable facility ie replicator, smelter etc just for cleaning lol) but am worried about late game performance does it run ok? I only have a I5-10th gen so yeah :)

[@phmo3660]

I use some of your blueprints, not because I don't like, because I like doing my own. Never stop though, but you are a MASTER with this game and I value your insight and recommendations. Love seeing the monitor in this build. My biggest use of blueprints is dyson spheres. I'm just not creative enough ,or patient, to build them that look good. Same with mechs. I would love to see video on Mech creation. I could use the help. Thanks again.

[@elskirvo]

I personally am not a big user of other's blueprints\designs but I do enjoy seeing how others approach things in DSP. Keep on making and sharing your methods, I always enjoy watching these so thank you!

[@waselakhunzada7370]

[@Yardiff]

Another design for us to either use or draw inspiration from. Thank you!

[@yiorgospolonyfis5288]

You ruined it. I stopped playing because I reached the end and PC is at its limit😅. Then I watch the new Nilaus video, go home and play DSP AGAIN! 🫠😂. Thanks man, you are awesome. Keep it up👌😁😬

[@valiakosilla2413]

I do not write that you ruin the game. It is nice to see your extremely efficient modular builds even I never use that strategy in my own game. I tried in Factorio years ago but it was boring to copy blueprints until FPS went annoying (for 80's gamer annoying means less than 5 fps). One thing I would like to see is how large production your modern gaming PC can manage. I built 250 white matrix per second (with default Dark fog) but it is quite rough for my old 3770. Now I am in situation if I increase production UPS decreases respectively. It is about 15/30 now. I should buy a new PC, not just for another blueprint copying round in factory games but to prevent inevitable failure of some aging component.

[@hairtrigga]

Thanks for the BP Nilaus. Can we get those advanced DF buildings in regular difficulty? cos its seems like its taking forever?

[@austinpowers7361]

This is not a complete science build. You also need to produce a lot of "base components" as you call them. And how is this better a regular modular design? All you did is just merge 1-2-3 mini city blocks together. And you wouldn't need that if you didn't split up regular city blocks into several mini ones.

[@sirdeakia]

Nilaus, you're ruining the games by creating amazing blueprints that operate the games functions. Please continue

[@plastictouch6796]

You are ruining the game by creating blueprints to stamp down. Hehehehehe. I'm so funny.

[@bakkerem1967]

Why all the excessive turrets for defence of already cleared planets. I just use 16 plasma turrets in 8 strategically placed positions to kill off relay stations before they have a chance to get in position on the planet. Haven't had any problems yet (222 hours in sharp difficulty).

[@Timmzy27]

With your new PC Nilaus, I’m curious to see you push it to its limits with science before it simply isn’t feasible to keep going. How much science can you get before you just have to leave it on for hours to get 1 research done? 🤔

[@rustyredbeard]

I don't get much time in the week to play, your blueprints make the game more accessable to me so thanks, I really appreciate it. Great video as always.

[@rathshark]

I've heard that DF labs actually get the same hashes per second in research mode so using them in place of an ordinary lab will just consume 3x the power...

[@alexdeathnote1]

Regarding blueprint usage, I got nothing against you using them on a large scale, but I wish you made more of them from scratch the first time you used them in this playthrough. Watching you build those production lines, like you did in the last 2 videos was probably one of my most favorite parts of this playthrough.

[@gregvw123]

Stay effective

[@MikelNaUsaCom]

keep up the good work. sometimes it's form over function, and others it's function first... Have you thought of building a factory IRL?

[@SalvaBarbus]

These blueprints are just so beautiful, as always!! Loved the yellow and the purple science ones especially! I guess that, in terms of what new late-game thing to go to, there's not much more to go for. If anything, the last frontier would be creating more blueprints regarding Dyson Spheres. I know about your fast Dyson Sphere builder blueprint, and your critical photon blueprint, but sometimes I thought that it would be cool to have something dedicated to blasting insane quantities of rockets to space, or solar sails, or drawing the maximum amount of critical photons from a blue giant. So, to summarize my insane ramblings above, my proposal is: - Create blueprints for launching rockets, launching solar sails, receiving critical photons, that can fit inside of your city blocks.

[@Hyperionid]

Thanks for the awesome blueprints Nilaus! These are little masterpieces of optimization, which I am very greatful for. (Not to mention extremely convenient!)

[@aimozg]

Instead of back-stacking, you could add a piler sorter on a T-junction from short segment to main output belt.

[@Unbelishitable]

Good stuff, Nilaus. Give us more of this endgame peak efficiency content.

You are creating a peace of art here, it looks to me.

[@Tenebrousable]

This is fantastic. I just got 50 thousand white science per minute consistent. Now I get to do it again, more efficient. Hooray!

[@Tenebrousable]

That beign said, I really really like draging in all the materials for science, in to one giant build. That produces all of the sciences. Best I've managed, is a logistics station pushing out all the 5 sciences, two belts each, and 4 logistic stations side by side. The anti-matter has to come in from the side. 8 full belts of all the 6 materials feeding 8 rows of labs. And the white goes out back pass the originating towers, into it's own labs.

[@08047870]

looks great

[@chrismwinand]

I have a general question for followers. You can massively reduce some blueprints by belt stacking. I have seen this working on one recent that cut 1000+ belts out over all. Questing being does anyone think its worth creating a semi Small Form Factor/footprint blueprints catalog?

[@Yardiff]

In my opinion: Yes. The more items that can be belted out of a late-game smelter or assembly line the better. With multiple sources (ILS/PLS) the drone system starts to break down and not load-balance well, with some sources ignored. If there’s bigger and fewer sources which are replenished very quickly, the system copes better. Plus the game having to track fewer suppliers. Large buffers with high throughput to the ILS/PLS are also beneficial. It means that a smelting line can be smaller, filling up the ILS/PLS and then the buffers. Once things start being used the buffers will rapidly refill the main supplier. These days I find myself wondering: Should I use three belts from an advanced mining station into a PLS, for the extra buffering? And then those go into twinned ILS for transport to a forge world? A potentially worthwhile video would be methods of setting up a mining world, with traffic monitoring to indicate that ore reserves have run out. Then the player would go set up a new mining world, before tearing down the old one to transform into a manufacturing world.

[@chrismwinand]

@Yardiff You hit on a lot of key points that one day I wouldn't mind exploring myself. I'm working on a science setup that requires ILS to move in materials and then store said science made. However, I've condensed it in such a way that it uses 10 Logistics Distributors set to only hold 5 or so stacks(1000 materials). Low key debating taken them out and belting instead. Level 6 Logistics Carry Capacity can be obtained with purple science. So you end up with I believe 18 slots for the bots that are basically dedicated to that specific build setup unless you have other distributors within their range requesting the same materials. I've also taken a Supersonic Missle Factory and cut out a massive footprint which ultimately taught me along the way and made condensing the Science setup even faster by a few days. 😆 I've never really made videos myself but for this sort of thing I'm sure I could figure it out.

[@Yardiff]

@@chrismwinand Something to remember: belts are KING, things will go out by belt before the drone network gets a sniff of it. Which I believe is why Nilaus is belting between builds, and daisy-chaining longer builds together. That 120/sec along a belt gets priority over everything else, so the drone sends only "leftovers" to anything else in the network which requires it. With the new piler-sorters, 40 arc smelters is 40 copper/iron a second. That's a pair of belts with 20 smelters each side, folded into a C shape of 10/10 and 10/10 smelters. Upgrade to plane smelters and then negentropy smelters to get the full 120/second. (A magnet line is 3x 10/10 lines in an S-shape for 120/sec.) Similar for a straight set of 10/10 recomposing assemblers: that's 120 circuit boards or magnetic coils a second right there. Right now I find myself more often in Sandbox Mode, trying to work out the topologies for various production lines. Like I've worked out the steel build as a double-C: iron smelter, iron ore belt, steel belt, steel smelter - and the iron smelter goes straight across the two belts to direct-feed into the steel smelter. (Think of a long belt of iron smelter one side of the belts, direct-injecting into the steel smelter on the other side. Then fold it a couple of times.) The topology alone I find very absorbing. Not sure when I'll next get to play!

[@nathanarcher6764]

Romans 8 Life in the Spirit 1There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. 3For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, 4in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 7For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot. 8Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 9You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. 10But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you. Heirs with Christ 12So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17and if children, then heirs-heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. Future Glory 18For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. 19For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. 20For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope 21that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. 23And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 24For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? 25But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience. 26Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. 27And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 28And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. 29For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified. God’s Everlasting Love 31What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 34Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died-more than that, who was raised-who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Would you consider doing a video discussing your opinion about the current state of the game and where you want to see it head next? We know from the devs that this stage of dark fog is still early development, and much more to work on, but I would be curious to hear a little summary of where you think things are broken/lacking or what feels like it's "missing".

[@PyroYeet]

I wonder what they will add to the fog system. Currently on deathworld too, and clearing iut hives and planets just takes aaaages even if I have the resources and inf uprades leveled

[@NutsAndThighs]

@@PyroYeet I wonder too, it feels like there is more automation and warning systems missing. Hopefully their teaser for space structures will solve issues like automated destruction of hives that come back to cleared out systems which I feel like, in the late game, we should not have to do manually. It seems like we need some sort of way to automatically deploy space vessels to go attack/clear hives which re-colonize our systems.

[@PyroYeet]

@@NutsAndThighs exactly, I am at about 4k spm right now and the.main thing that is preventing me from clearing systems is I don't wanna spend 5 hours cleaning up every lancer, relay station and then the hives themselves by coming over with hundreds of ships, resupplying, repeat

[@Yardiff]

Some things that I feel are missing: 1/ oil extractors are in need of an Advanced Extractor (along the lines of the Advanced Miner) 2/ oil refineries are in need of a 2x quantum and 3x Dark Fog versions 3/ chemical plants are in need of a 3x Dark Fog version I could make a case for oil seep improvements too - longer times to deplete and possibly a higher minimum. Though a 500% veins utilization coupled with a 3x extraction rate a-la the Advanced Miner would take a 0.1 up to 1.5 oil per second, so that everything would remain “useful” en-masse.

[@AbsoluteHuman]

​@@Yardiff 1 oil is needed in very small quantities already, so buffing its supply I find unnecessary. Maybe just a variant of the oil extractor with a built in logistic station would be nice... 2 some kind of a better refinery is indeed required. Maybe skip the quantum and add a DF version. Yet again , not everyone is playing with DF on... And maybe make it bigger just because not everything must be the same. 3. Maybe just not. Yet again, not everything must be the same. The thing with assemblers and smelters is that they are the most abundant buildings in the game so cutting their numbers in favor of more refineries and chem plants is actually a good thing to add variety.
