PERFECT AQUILO BASE: Trains, Liquid Bus & Modular Designs | 59 | Factorio SPACE AGE Tutorial

[@frostedwest625]

I love how the comments on your videos are like “here’s every small mistake you made over several hours of gameplay. Loved every minute of it!”

[@sami_markkanen]

Just waiting when you notice that half of your lithium plate furnaces are not connected to the rockets :D

[@jgamerxd3316]

I can’t stand it like bruh

[@Harmoniou-s]

I get extra enjoyment from it. Nilaus makes super effecient, clean, and tileable builds. Then, he makes super simple mistakes that almost everyone will notice. C'est la vie

[@LetsPlayBrick]

@@Harmoniou-sYah I got a dopamine hit of my own when I realized the inserter for lithium into the furnace was still frozen several minutes before he noticed🤣Funny how our minds work

[@nahblue]

a factory with no issues is not fun anyway, the best part is tracing shortfalls, bottlenecks, solving crises like brownouts and blackouts! :)

[@DeReViaSHKiN]

Most liked and discussed comments are about his mistakes. He is engineer-minded guy. He does mistakes on purpose =)

A little chilly watching this as my house heats up from over night cool and the freezing temps in Aquilo. Great series, thanks!

[@jsbrads1]

Why is it colder in the morning than at night 😅

[@andresmartinezramos7513]

​@@jsbrads1Just for those who don't actually know. It's because it is the moment of day when most time has passed since the house was heated by the sun, the people and the heaters in the house. So most of the heat gets radiated over the night leading to the lowest temperature of the day. The same thing applies to the street, just before sunrise is the coldest it will get.

[@ivan0912]

aquilo is probably my favorite planet because it forces you to innovate and it really gives that feeling of being on a new planet

[@Pow1270]

The rocket silos are missing their productivity modules! Love the content

[@PyroYeet]

16:00 I'm sure others have pointed it out or you have fixed it, but the bottom underground going into the silos does is not connected

[@LetsPlayBrick]

I'm going to enjoy making an Aquilo bus through watching your videos, because I find working around all those pipes such a pain in the ass.

[@RyanW1019]

8:00 why not throw a bunch of prod modules in the solid fuel/rocket fuel cryo plants?

[@bigbill8000]

The rocket production is crazy quick.

[@markpew8111]

Loving the series so much! I'm really excited to see where things go from here.

[@miladystoryline1005]

2 of these should be fine... *proceeds to stamp down 2 more* very relatable

[@Nil-js4bf]

I'm still slowly figuring out how to scale up the other legendary items now that I have a basic LDS shuffle going. Looks like I'll need to get legendary bots automated to avoid seeing the sad state of bots flying 5 meters and running out of juice. Good to know that using trains to the resources further out was a thing. I disconnected my super long heat pipe after realizing it was just bringing the rest of my base's temperature down.

[@toneandersen2944]

Underground belt from the bottom smelters for litium plates is missing!

[@Jackpkmn]

When do you think he will switch to using Legendary lamps?

[@charlesmurphy8978]

The quantum chips seem to be stalling (@ 32:00 ), maybe the number of items in the requesters chests is too small

[@ShootLiegh]

Hey, thats similarish to how i ended up structuring mine as well. I was kinda surprised by how little is actually going on on Aquilo once you really distill it down.

[@pirminp7090]

I really dont understand why he distances the Pipes from the science building... at 24:00 Just put them to the side of the building, the design would look better and he would have more space. Still a great Series, love it 😊

[@photinodecay]

Probably just following the pattern he had elsewhere :)

[@pirminp7090]

@photinodecay yeah but since space age launched his designs seem more cluttered and less organised... 🤔

[@photinodecay]

@@pirminp7090 We are all learning the new production chains and coming up with ideas for how to optimize them. You can join him on twitch to collaborate in that process, too!

@@pirminp7090 I mean he's trying to get a first series out. These aren't master classes yet, I know my view has been "I just need this to f**king work, not be pretty" for space age so far.

[@pirminp7090]

@@scootscoot2k i get that but some of the decisions seem just cluttered, i dont mean that i could do it better. Just that some things are unnecessarily complicated.

[@firelot4418]

Why not make the rocket silo one tile to the left

[@tru1988]

Nilaus, I find your lack of legendary Rocket Silos disturbing :D

[@psilon69]

Hello good Sir, in 69 New Features video you promised to create a video about blueprint parametrization and super-intelligent trains configuration. Can you please tell if you're going to record such a video? I envy this knowledge but my attempts to figure it out all failed miserably.

[@possiblyD]

He went over some parametrization in his Fulgora videos… think it’s the 2nd or 3rd after landing… it’s not a whole video dedicated to it, but enough to get you started.

[@kaizoman2769]

The other big case for rocket fuel production is that it's essentially free and it stacks so poorly.

[@Terminator484]

I see you dragging around machines to calculate their production & needs. What's the command to use this tool? I don't see it in the game options.

[@marvinzwolsman131]

It’s a mod called rate calculator

[@quentingozi2954]

Why does your rocket blueprint goes over the neighbors tile ? There is plenty of space behind. This could avoid losing space on the production tiles with the splitter and underground belt

[@OccasusRaven]

6:13 those underground belts what carry rocket fuel and goes left are wrong way around, arrow clearly shows belt is going right even it should go left 15:31 missing underground belts other end from bottom furnaces, their products DONT go to rockets🤦🤦 & then u Copy same mistake twice🙄

[@JasonAWilliams-IS]

For your stream, I don't understand why you're not making legendary red&green (maybe blue) science on vulcanus, which are basically free. As you scale up, a limiting factor is the throughput to the labs. With legendary science, you only need 1/6 the throughput for legendary science as normal, so this helps you get more science down from orbit to your labs quickly.

[@emanwe01]

In one of his earlier videos in this series, I remember him going over the math as to why he doesn't think legendary science is worth the trouble, though I don't remember his particular reasons.

[@JasonAWilliams-IS]

@emanwe01 yes getting legendary materials is not worth the upcycling costs, but he already has infinite legendary iron and copper so it makes sense for red and green science. And maybe blue too.

[@nahblue]

Legendary Red & Green need legendary copper & iron; legendary copper is free, sure, legendary iron is abundant -- but not infinite right? -- from asteroids or available from upcycling late-game blue circuits.

[@JasonAWilliams-IS]

@nahblue legendary iron is equally abundant as legendary copper. You just need legendary calcite.

[@88porpoise]

@@JasonAWilliams-IS Probably because at the scale he is operating on it isn't relevant. As I recall his pre-space science builds are producing 60 per second. That isn't even half of one side of a belt. Getting that down to 10 per second legendary science isn't going to provide much advantage. Beyond that, the throughput to your labs itself isn't really much of an issue until you get to the point that bots are lagging the game. Finally, for a Nilaus specific reason: having a non-legendary build available in his blueprint book makes sense as people may do things in different orders and not have the legendary resources to go directly to legendary science. As a result, viewers that pay him for access to his blueprints may find it useful.

[@fransvaksdal6607]

why do you use storage chests with filter over provider chests? is there a meaningful difference or just personal preferance

[@yourimpossibletoisgn]

Probably so when he deletes things they get put in the right spot later on

[@cthulhu8977]

I never use normal provider chests. Active provider to get rid of things or normal yellow storage with filter. Like @yourimpossibletoisgn said; the bots will bring any extras from disassembly etc. to that chest. Can also wire them up with inserters to prevent box from getting full. That leaves room for bot deliveries. I use that for robo-malls and also random supply from a bus. Bus keeps box half full of ?plates to handle requests; leaves room for bots to return leftovers from my inventory etc.

[@HerpDerpBeehive]

heck yes

[@larsruberti3315]

Legendary science is so cursed to me, is it all a flex? Just build more biolabs! Right? Is there something i'm not understanding?

[@S4kar97]

It's also about the logistics behind it. Less spaceships, less rocket silos, probably less assemblying machines, in that case less holmium to ship... And at some far far away point the throughput of the cargo landing pad will be a problem.

[@larsruberti3315]

@S4kar97 i see, thanks for your reply. But there is no limit on the amount of bots that can take items out of the cargo pad. And how does it take less holmium?

[@88porpoise]

​@@larsruberti3315"less holmium shipped" You upcycle it on Fulgora and can ship 1/6 of the amount to Aquilo for legendary lithium production for the same science output. In the end, outside of Gleba, the reasons I can see for it are: 1) Reduced scale of bases just to be more manageable (similar to the reason why to use all the speed modules in beacons rather than just building more production facilities). Both the production and the mass of biolabs. 2) Once you get to a scale that your computer starts lagging it should help. Personally I build my Space Science and Cryogenic Science as legendary. Cryogenic is because I needed a sink for legendary lithium. My Quantum Processor upcycled was supplying most of my legendary superconductors but I wasn't using nearly as much legendary Lithium and my storage was filling up. So, instead of trashing it I got some legendary ice and made science. Space Science was because I needed to upgrade space science production and, having set up legendary ice for cryogenic science, I thought it could be more interesting to do it as legendary rather than normal. For Gleba, quality science is more interesting as the longer spoilage time is more significant.
