Can I Beat Factorio Without Placing Any Pipes? | Factorio Challenge Run

aka "celibacy challenge"

[@Erin-ks4jp]

A less boiler-wasteful (but way more space-inefficient) way to set up the boilers would be to alternate sides - rotating each next boiler 180° and putting the steam engines on the other side.

[@kittyshippercavegirl]

Ryan doesn't want anyone to see his fluids

[@ChoccyMewk]

Enjoyed Ryan Brown's newest Factorio video, I did! Masterful his automation, hmm. But enough pipes, never there seem to be! "More pipes we need," I exclaimed, chuckling. Like the Force, elusive they are. Yet, entertained I remained, for Ryan's trials with pipes brought laughter, they did. Hmmm!

[@CasualSnake_D2]

Factorio but you didnt call 511 before you dug so now you lost your pipe privileges

[@HereticSchool]

"some kind of Puritan spirit against me laying pipe" I loled.

[@hellboy19991]

I am already triggered by the fact that you are using no steam engine at all for the "pipe" boiler. Might as well have one steam engine there, saves one boiler for every two "pipe boilers". Still gonna enjoy the video after work, but had to get this off my chest

[@KingofJ95]

I love Project Cybersyn. Always a joy to see the trains zooping about. The rest of the run was cool too.

[@michanowak3001]

So net run everything is fluid and transported by pipes. To make it equal for this run.

[@tad2021]

There are a lot of obscure nerd references in Factorio mods.

[@idguy4rainbowpheonix]

This looks like it’ll be barrels of fun

[@waaaghtech9959]

If you ever think connection of oil patches is maddening, that's because you haven't seen Ryan's way to do this 😂

[@lis6502]

2:59 you don't have to state this explicitely - every one sees it lacks lamps and concrete and everyone knows that without these we're dealing with starter base;)

[@Gruffelgangster]

Awesome video! I reccomend more lights around the base though. Lights are great in general and it makes viewing a factorio more pleasant ^^

[@everupward594]

This video really pipes my fluids

[@taiwanisacountry]

That are some really under utilized options. Great stuff man

[@dungewar]

Honestly, the takeaway I get from this is that I'm yet to find a single use for barrels in the base game.

[@EricJohnsonGuru]

14:40 building a belt barrel buffer aka an bbbb.

[@Patashu]

having to barrel and unbarrel water to turn a corner made me WHEEZE. I'm glad boilers aren't completely overpowered and that they have limitations

[@deKay360]

I hope the expansion releases soon, or this man will lose his mind😂

[@dralord1307]

I did a no belt no pipe play through a while back. I did have the early bots mod that allows bots at green science. I also allowed only 1 set of pipe to ground "no strings just oil refinery, 1 set of pipe to ground, then into the what ever building" for oil refining. It was very interesting and very different from how i normally build

[@sugondiesthephilosopher]

This gave me the idea that trains would be a good method of regulating barrel flux. Direct offload-onload. (I've never placed a train in my playthrougs)

[@higolon]

Glad to see im not the only one horrifyingly mutating perfect designs ‚borrowed’ out of nilaus blueprint library because im too lazy to design my own

[@Zaspar]

You can use flamethrower turrets to transport heavy, light or crude oil in the same way that you used boilers to transport water.

[@ripecontext]

Ok that’s pretty good for heavy oil cracking then

[@emdeo]

seems a pretty proper video, I was genuinely wondering how you'd handle the refineries. the results were... interesting.

[@starburst98]

So it is the opposite of the pneumatic challenge which made everything a fluid.

[@fast-yi9js]

Fun concept, but a little too compressed, I'd have liked to see a little more of the run xD

[@ripecontext]

I would’ve loved to but it’s literally like 90% vanilla

[@fast-yi9js]

@@ripecontext Dont see whats wrong with watching someone play vanilla with a small but funny twist :) Though conversely, I'd absolutely not say no to another Freight Forwarding episode either, loved just how much that shook the game up

[@heidi5942]

"This is a really cool idea and a great video to watch" ... I thought to myself as I clicked on the video. Then I got distracted and forgot to actually watch. So now I'm rewatching from the start. Extra views I guess 😅

[@lis6502]

1:02 oh my, you could place one boiler facing east and one west maximizing usage

[@ThatOliveMrT]

Sigma engineers use storage tanks as pipes anyway 4 minutes in and I'm devastated by the rules lol

[@lis6502]

9:33 actually i haven't dive that deeply into topic but due to size constraints on Warptorio boiler floors i've successfully tested few designs with barreling water and steam, so i wouldn't ditch this idea in this run.

[@crimsonvale7337]

6:24 english card revoked

[@williamnixon3994]

Not even 2 1/2 minutes in when I realized: Can't you just flip the special 'transport boiler' and use Undergrounds to feed it and keep the rest of the stack going to squeeze use out of every boiler instead of leaving a third unused?

[@ripecontext]

Definitely, however a boiler is cheaper than an underground and space is no issue

[@dongledan17]

With the initial boiler setup could you not have just alternated the boilers pointing left and right

[@zornor]

if you haven't annihilated the save file yet, I'd love to know how many barrels were produced and consumed in the production tab

[@pallingtontheshrike6374]

if you want to play faster probably want pickup dollies, tho it clashes with this run cuz they retain fluid info so you could technically pickupdolly back and forth buildings to produce even if you haven't solved the actual placement (lol)

[@Kahnugo]

I've been doing this for the last couple of weeks, though it's extended with no belts, no trains and a goal of 2kSPM. Every fluid must be barreled except for the initial steam power setup. Edit: I did allow myself to turn off biters though.. The infrastructure requirements are already insane.

[@spenceabeen]

Gonk :]

[@ripecontext]

Gonk!

[@Nyannnnnnnn]

At 2:30 got some asmr XD

[@Polygonetwo]

No we just need a no pipes and no belts challenge at the same time. Or for the expansion to come out so our content creators can stop becoming progressively more deranged. xD

[@erfarkrasnobay]

you couldhave instead of boiler+2 => boiler +0 just make all boiler as Boiler+1

[@burrdid]

you know.. there is technically a better mining design

[@clatcher1483]

ЖёпаМыло легенда

[@lis6502]

without pressing play: barreling fluids and belt/bots transportation

[@ASlickNamedPimpback]

Can you beat Factorio without building a single rocket?

[@timothymclean]

Build two instead.
