Nice tutoriel ! I am about to redo my entire smelting set up, so ... i perfectly understand now why you would need a in situ upgradable thing ! Thanks !

[@cthulhu8977]

Woot! Moar Captain. Tossed out a like and comment before even seeing what you came up with. I did my design backwards, laid down all the end game stuff then figured out how to roll it backwards to basic. Now finished vid; you came up with almost the same. Only difference in mine is I put the crushers at each smelter since it's 1:1. Makes spacing between the sets of 2 further than your layout; but bonus of when you pause / unpause the crushers are easy to include since they all work together as a set.

Great video! Rebuilding everything for each upgrade can get expensive or put you into a deathspiral. With this just a few tweaks and running in minutes.

[@warmachine5835]

Regarding preference; if you're setting these up for dual purpose scrap and ore, I'd recommend setting scrap as the priority. At least before you hit recycling, this will help you use up all the scrap so you're not needing to store it in some warehouse somewhere taking up otherwise useful building space. In general, I put my odd one-off items as the higher priority because that keeps them cleaned up. Essentially marking them for one-off runs that interrupt the regularly scheduled mass production.

Good to see this game again

Great Guide JD! Thanks a lot. My only doubt that i changed and still consider better is slag in the middle with only one belt for a couple of fournace (18+18 slag is always a M1 belt, it is only one and it is shorter, less materials and less power)

[@-JustHuman-]

Same, as it needs less power to run then.

[@JDPlays]

I looked at this, BUT I decided against this for Iron, this is mostly due to it being easier to swap over to steel later. It has to do with the Exhaust for Steel. For Copper and Glass you will find slag on the inside

[@DrssaFerri]

@@JDPlays I had some problems with the Exhaust for steel in this way but i guess that it was due to i decided to use only one big Exhaust and the space was small for 4 pipes.

[@Nortonius_]

Wow, great builds on their own merit and lots to take away in general, thanks!

[@kazrazin5508]

I was wondering when you'd make set ups in this style, Next, Bacons? :P

[@Yhetti]

You vs the blast furnace she told you not to worry about ;)

[@benjaminwaitukaitis1138]

you are an excellent resource thank you

[@JDPlays]

You are very welcome

[@robertbenoit5374]

I love JD videos only one problem with this one, there are 2 Arc Furnaces. Arc Furnace 1 and 2. Arc Furnace 1 is the one I have unlocked and I am having issues with. it is not water cooled and does not have steam output, odd as that sounds but I am having a ton of issues with it. I guess I am going to need wait on that as I have no idea why it is not working and it is killing me as to why its not working.

[@amyramsey9100]

how did you quick build more than 1 structure at a time?

[@Trifler500]

Could you connect the two slag outputs with an elevated belt and then run a single belt up between the two smokestacks?

[@JDPlays]

Yes, this is why they are kept flat when they go around the corners

[@Trifler500]

@@JDPlays Huh? I'm asking if you could run a single belt for slag up the middle between the two smokestacks instead of having one on the left and one on the right.

[@JDPlays]

Where is the lets play? Well I'm waiting on the next patch it promises massive performance uplift! See: kzbin.infoUgkx6W0XafirKr1v4PXpYFcr9b9Ce73F3j7T

[@valkyrieknight593]

desalinators is best for lo steam

[@JDPlays]

Agreed! but I just needed to dump it for this video

[@c0c4in3100]

Great videos mate, but for the love of god, stop putting so much emphasis on the likes. Its really unbecoming. It achieves the opposite effect, with me for sure but I think in general as well.

[@JDPlays]

I ask to borrow one at the start of the video, and then I ask If i can keep it at the end. I think its a refreshing change. Would you prefer if i just asked for a like right at the start of the video and then leave it there? Never bring it up again like every other KZbinr? Does asking for a like 15 seconds into a video make you click the button? Does asking to borrow a like early on, and then reminding you later, so if you didn't find the video helpful/enjoyable you can have the like back not feel like a better method?
