Organize and Transform Any Planet with Blueprints | Dyson Sphere Program | Tutorial / Master Class

[@JohnRAyer1986]

Thank you Nilaus for your blueprints! Your Factorio master class series was perfect for introducing my 12 year old to this genre of game and she now loves it. They helped her launch her first rocket and now she has more confidence in trying her own builds. We haven't started Dyson yet, but we watch all of the videos and are excited to play it next.

[@Hyperionid]

Thank you Nilaus for your tireless work on games and DSP in particular. I've played the game using your blueprints through several versions as it evolved. It never detracted from the experience - on the contrary it gave me time to focus on the important and iteresting parts of the game. Thank you!

[@CaffeinatedFingers]

I like the mini blooper bit at the end (copper tsunami!)

[@MrRuso55]

You are nor ruining the game, you are making it possible to people that not have the time to invest the hours you do to be able to play the game and manage to get to the final parts of it.

[@Aureus23]

Agreed Nilaus. Blueprints are just tools. It’s up to the player to determine how much they are used. I, myself, feel like I have a better understanding of the game, and perhaps some basic engineering principles because of your work. Thank you!

[@MrGabrielGoh]

i agree. generally i create my own blueprints, but most of it is inspired by Nilaus.

[@danielfietkau733]

that goes beyond my actual progress in DSP. but interesting to watch

[@sebastianstarke6668]

I love that you are making it more accessible for all of us to build great infrastructure and designs. I don’t have much time for playing games usually and love when you help me get to the fun part much faster

[@andrewwturner]

That was really clean. I'm always inspired to improve my builds after watching your videos!

[@beaverman1974]

Watching you have made my game so much more interesting. Now it's not about how fast I can get to build a sphere, it about how fast I can strip mine a planet using your ideas for factories!

[@nowich5712]

when you are so early that the highest quality is 360p

[@jay21317]

Lucky I'm stuck at 144

[@Explosivegamer01]

I was thinking the same thing. Why is the quality so low? oh, it was just posted 1min ago.

[@Nilaus]

It took the entire day to record, so I didn't have time to upload it early for the processing.

[@RichardPhillips1066]

@@Nilaus the downside of great editing is folks have no idea how time consuming making a video can be :)

[@Explosivegamer01]

@@Nilaus Still watched it in 360, then watching it again in 1080! Cause your videos are that good!

[@lightball1414]

Even with help from the blueprints, its still fun to put them together and troubleshoot . You still have to put in a good amount of time building spaghetti and getting the technology tree going, even before using any of the handy science blueprints.

[@Hust91]

The toolbox is also happiness because you can study it and get inspired to make your own tools to suit your needs or even occasionally make improvements. Also if you don't have the planetary miner you can make your own ghetto planetary miner blueprint with a preset logistics station setup for mining and then just slap down a couple of miners and connect.

[@crazymammoth]

Using your Build tips I've used your New Logistics HUB to start a Minimal resource Save only just made my way to Warp tech then finally at 40hours I got Logistics Warpers online, Snag was my Iron Ore being fed in was so low it took forever to Ship out my first Ship of Warpers but now my Forge World is online and i'm free to go tap all the Ore viens i'm also only building inside a single 1/20th slice per factory build. (that is 120 Factories in just the Summer Belt of each planet.) my goal is to have a factory making every single base material so i can eventually scale up like you have. but yeah that Iron rush on Minimal resources is a mean monster.

[@MegaMick]

Hi Nilaus! You mentioned that you wanted to avoid using Pilers/Stackers, but why is that? Are there stability, or performance issues? Or is it something else? I unlocked them yesterday and after changing my Hub/Mall thing to have those in my inputs, the game crashed shortly after. Was thinking if it was a coincidence or not since you avoided those in this video too.

[@DrPrese]

Did anyone tried this on the last update? I can't figure it out the placement, it's always "divided by a tropic line" error I can't work around, am I missing something?

[@mikegamerguy4776]

Carpenter reinventing saws and hammers... exactly right. I make my own designs. But I make them when I feel the enjoyment of making them. Sometimes I don't want to design something and just want to accomplish something. I made my first nuclear reactor hundreds of hours into Factorio and I enjoyed it. I made my first self designed oil processing hundreds of hours into Factorio and I enjoyed it. But while learning a game... sometimes you don't want to spend time designing everything from scratch. Sometimes you've designed enough and you just want to "do shit". My next Factorio design will be a scalable mall because I do not like any that I've found. They don't suit me. They suit the players who made them and many of their fans and that's great. But it's time for me to make my own because I really just think I'm tired of managing with everyone else's.

[@vokunwraith]

First discovered you through your factorio videos and still loving it. Got any more designs for the early game in the works? Specifically wondering about electromagnetic turbines and early automation of tier 2 logistics.

[@Nilaus]

you can always check out my blueprint repository. There are a lot of designs that are completed, but not have a specific video for (including electromagnetic turbines)

[@NaoyaYami]

About that "blueprints are cheating" and similar sentiments: not everyone likes to plan each part of their factory. I don't think I'm alone when I say that I prefer to focus on overall large scale and progression (so deciding where and when to build what, not how to build it). Then once I'm comfortable enough with the game and have a general idea of how I should plan out my whole base-building experience, I'll slowly move away from each module blueprints (I'll try to figure out my own way of producing each item, if only for my more or less unique aesthethics). Thanks to that I wasn't completely lost when I started my Krastorio 2 playthrough, since I couldn't really find ready blueprints for Nilaus' city blocks style factories with combination of Transport Drones (it works really similar to logistic drones and vessels in DSP, though you do have to connect each site with road). Unless you play competetively (PvP in Factorio or speedruns, etc.) there is no harm in using blueprints - let people enjoy the games how they want and move on if you don't like using them (also not everyone has time to spend on designing everything from scratch just look how many iterations of Polar HUBs Nilaus made for DSP alone).

[@usurpinesusanti3149]

I like that. But i am way off to even use those Blueprints yet. I have to look for early game bps first to get on that level. But nice to see what all can be done in the future.

[@Afritadaa]

May it be dyson, satisfactory, or factorio. You sire is the best.

[@SamyD23]

I don’t think your blueprints ruin the game by any means because they don’t solve everything. I’m playing through for the first time heavily using your blueprints but there’s some things that aren’t covered like automating the drones/vessels, or the level 2/3 belts/sorters before you have ils. These gaps allow me to solve problems, and your blueprints teach me about the game

[@billroberts10]

How did you create a Blueprint that aligned with the poles?

[@bakkerem1967]

No matter what you do, it's always gonna break.... Got that m8. If it just works it ain't half the fun indeed !

[@ke19lly9]

When you were placing the foundations it seemed like you were able to lock them from placing outside of the grid you were mainly in, how do you do that?

[@Nilaus]

skill ;)

[@ke19lly9]

@@Nilaus I definitely lack that lol

[@vooooooooooooo]

Some dont want only your blueprints, but to watch you build stuff. 😅

[@ericlala]

how about a combo design that takes raw materials and goes all the way to white science?

[@christianpryor]

Have always problems to ignore Ore patches. Do you have dedicated Only Row Ore delivery planets?

[@napalmstrike2007]

What do you do when a blueprint overlaps with your mines? Do you remove the mine and hide the ores and paste the blueprint, or do you pick another location for your blueprint? It is almost impossible to find a location that won't have a mine.

[@Hust91]

Very late, but if I understand correctly he goes out of his way to identify a big patch of the planet that has very few resource nodes and smack down the blueprint there.

[@damianxd720]

yo, Neal House, you made a "cross dock" a while back. I'm wondering how you think that project worked out?

[@zangetsu2k8]

can you blueprint a dyson sphere yet? I quit playing after creating some 20 dyson spheres, I wanted to cover the entire star cluster but I got bored of drawing out the spheres.,..

[@lippyausletzeburg1455]

hey hey :) i d ont use any blueprint who is not Mine. I take informations and inspirations from youtube somtime. but they all have my touche / playstill I tink if You think that NilausBlueprint brake the game just d ont use them? Mabye? NIlaus Thx for the good contend

[@St4rTr3v1Ut10n]

Idk how anyone completes the game WITHOUT mass industrialization like this. Once you get to even Red Science you have access to materials that require all sorts of acquisition and refinement to make

[@HalfQuickFarmer]

Thanks for the video Where can I find your dyson swarm blueprint.

[@HalfQuickFarmer]

For the actual Dyson sphere construction

[@Galrash]

There's a link in the description to all of his blueprints

[@HalfQuickFarmer]

@@Galrash I actually downloaded his entire blueprint library. But I don’t see specific builds for the actual sphere once you launch everything.

[@fpsmarcus]

Love this!

Seems like a waste of a pole that could be firing high utilization EM Rails.

[@exolutions8510]

thats cool and all, but... where the fuck do you all get that damn soil pile from? What am i doing wrong that I am always so damn low on that? Thank you very much for your videos, I don't know how i should be able to play the game further than red cubes without you :D

I wont use these blueprints but, holly cow! This is really awesome!

no matter what settings I use my hub always delivers 600 of the building i ask for.

[@redact3d8472]

It's just too bad that every time I get to this"stamping down planet factories" stage, the game starts getting laggy as fuck.

[@joehelland1635]

The poles are too valuable as a solar power production imo....

[@bobbybobman3073]

I'm more of the opinion your blueprints are more like prefabricated cabinets ... Like yes they are modular pieces that you can do something special with if you are creative enough. I'm of the opinion it's past just reusing a saw. But I agree it's not playing the game for you either.

[@MrChrisdag]

blueprints are %100 optional, why complain about optoinal stuff. dont like a tv show, dont watch it

[@JasonEllingsworth]

Well your analogy or metaphor or whatever still works. Yes, you are ruining the game by using these...and causing it to be boring much faster. I am also absolutely sick of being a carpenter and building houses/offices. A more accurate statement, is using your blueprints is like sitting down to solve a puzzle piece by piece, getting frustrated, and some guy just slaps one down on the table that already has the pieces put together. This game's meat and potatoes is all about solving the logistics of getting one item to another location, doing it poorly multiple times, and finally doing it cleanly. It is all about the sense of accomplishment from that. If people want to skip that, it is their loss...but it is still radically shortening the lifespan that someone will have with this game.

[@Idefix3M]

first?

[@plesskikh]

Yes

[@Mirici1]

You are over complicating what should be a very simple task of extract and transport. You admit it’s tedious and time consuming but you are too stubborn to do it right. 1 ore gives 1 plate. No reason to set up remote factory, actually now that I think about it…it would free up a lot of space on the home planet …but I don’t need more space… so you are still wrong.
