SPIDERTRON & POWER ARMOR MK2- Step 16: Factorio Megabase (Step-By-Step)

[@g00gleisgayerthanaids56]

I just picked up factorio and this series is the perfect tutorial. I kept bottle necking myself in with no real plan on how to progress quick enough with enough volume to scale with the buggers. Your starter base may be "spaghetti" to an electrical engineer but its super modular as ive been able to use it as a great "blue print" for a couple playthroughs on multiple differently populated maps. Its looked different everytime, but it works so dang good for getting through the earlygame in a relatively quick manner.

That's awesome to hear, glad you could make use of the series;)

"Nathan was here!" He exclaimed, tramping through the forests while razing biter nests.😂

I've always removed the exoskeletons and energy shields from my power armor and replaced them with as many laser turrets as possible. I might have one laser on the spidertron, but usually have thee energy shields (maybe even four, but I do not recall if the portable fusion reactor can support that many) and as many exoskeletons as can fit. You don't need your laser weapons on the spider - you need shields and mobility there.

The last time I got my first spidertron, I spent the next several hours destroying every biter nest I could find, even ones far far away from my base. Those poor guys were just minding their own business, but a spidertron is just too much fun. The only thing more fun, as a few others have suggested, is running *multiple* spidertrons armed to the teeth with lasers, and just brazenly frying every nest in sight. 🥳

Waiting on the next video, Just finished watching last few of these episodes, I really like this style of videos , compared to other really long let’s play videos

[@thelicand3931]

If you are going to add more lasers to yourself, you could probably replace one of the Spidertron ones with another shield without losing damage

[@JavierSalcedoC]

Reminder that you can make spidertron conga lines

[@ainoakeisari]

Excited for you to get to the megabase phase

[@666louis]

I like your style of base building, organized spaghetti.

[@skylinelibertarian3835]

Love the spidertron! Let's go!

[@Kouchi1337]

Put all laser turrets on the power armor and all legs on spidertron when you attack

[@kingxerocole4616]

Beautiful spidertron

[@Jauny78]

spaghetti base? lol ok, it looks perfect to me :D

[@peterschmidt1900]

Killing biters is part of the fun in a megabase. At least in your first one. For the second megabase, you just disable biters.

Hi Nathan, You get a pop up notification for certain "milestones" , e.g. "Crafted first Yellow Science at X hours". What is that setting? Or is it a mod? I would really like to have that on my next playthrough. Thx for great playthroughs! (Most enjoyable on KZbin. Keep up the good work!) Cheers from Sweden!

[@mattlewin72]

It’s a mod Nathan is using. It’s called “Milestones.”

[@rasmus7974]

@@mattlewin72 thank you! Much appreciated!

[@good_hunter7724]

Why do you use batteries in your armor and spider, if you already have portable fusions?

[@hephi]

Spidertron ist leider geil. Zur Konfiguration: mit DPS tanken ist der beste Weg. Also mehr Laser bitte :) (und später Atomraketen)

[@MalcolmAkner]

Damn, that spider is sick, had no idea that was in the game! This Megabase thing, is that a specific milestone, or output or what is it? Guess I'm gonna see quite soon 😂

[@treneeaewnaur8558]

thank you

[@Fleato]

update note for spaceage: spidertron is much further away in the tree. I guess we're not allowed to upgrade from the tank after like 50 hours already lol.

[@ShoninyasTube]

"The Philosophy here is not that you rebuild it belt by belt"..... ups. thats what i have done until this episode. and also with oxygen not included Megabase series 1 & 2 ^^

[@Pechbird]

In der Spinne die Schilde und im persönlich die Laser. Oder noch effizienter noch 2 Spinnen bauen die deiner folgen voll mit Laser/Schilden.

[@Queue3612]

When your inside vehicles, you cant be hit, having shields on you whilst your inside a vehicle is just a waste of a slot. The same is not inversly true for laser turrets, put all the shields on the spidertron for the most defence capacity and put all the laser turrets on you for the most offence capacity.

[@lusordeko1517]

can u upload your map if its possible

[@philbo_bagginz]

💚

[@xxffdsfa334]

dont you make your self living too hard, and get the "Megatron Mod"...pizza ;)

[@tomnogood]

This is perfect tutorial but in newer version of the game you cannot follow up with it, with all the changes at least what i can see, im new at the game but stuck atm. Sad, will have to figure on my own.
