Ah yes, I was talking about your tutorial but in the wrong thread <.<

I very much like the direction your tutorials are going. I'm all about clear, efficient and modular factories. Looking forward to the next one.

Very nice design, I am worried about the efficiency of having all this brute production force powering 1 red, 1 green and 2 blue assemblers though, you should be able to power quite a bit more I recon.

So lately I've been building a processing unit factory that'll produce exactly enough processing units to supply three balanced module 3 chains. One module 3 requires a total of 25 processing units per minute, to make all three types 75 processing units per minute are needed, or 1.25 per second. For...

The ratio is 14 boilers in chain to 10 steam engines. You shouldn't get any fluctuations if you fuel them constantly

Yeah, same in my experience. Also, with the buffer in place, and overproduction of iron plates, this won't be a problem anyway.

In the latest vid (3) you say that 16 steel furnaces will fill a yellow transport belt. 16 steel furnaces have a capacity of 32 items/second, divided by the production time of an iron plate is 32/3.5=9.14 items/second. According to this page a yellow transport belt has a throughput of about 12 items...

I don't believe killing biters raises evolution levels. It does make place for new biters to spawn though, so if you kill a biter base filled with small biters and the evolution factor is high, medium or big biters might take their place.

Great post! Very nice builds you have there, I have one point of criticism though, your red:green ratio is asymmetric, the red packs cost 5 seconds to build each, and the green packs cost 6 seconds. If you have enough labs to drain the production of these setups, your bottleneck will be green science.

I liked how he kept praising root as a mad genius, and I was watching it, shaking my head mumbling "what is this mess"

Hello, While testing my factory's peak production power I noticed something off, when I calculate my peak iron plate production I get a different number than the production stats tell me on a peak test. I have 36 electric furnaces on production power 5, thats 36*5=180 production power. Divide that w...

I've found a bug which causes the game to crash when logistics bots deliver you items while you are in a train. The train stops at the station, logistics bots come flying in to supply my missing items, and after a couple of successful deliveries the game crashes. I've been able to reproduce this 100...

5 reds, 6 greens, 12 blues and 1 suped up purple science assemblers is the ratio to produce an even amount of science per type. Do have all of the same level assemblers though.

Oh no, that solar field in ep59 is horrible, it kinda needs a fixit
How could you do this? D:

7:30 pm on a friday? Man you couldn't plan it better
I'll be there

I think that would actually work, and it'd be pretty handy. Good idea, I'm gonna try this sometime

My opinion is, Fraps turns off the Turbo-Boost to prevent damage on video files, so the systems slows down. Factorio thinks, the processor is still running on Turbo-Boost, because the game is using it for better performance but didn't received the speed change, because the system is not sending a s...

And that's a good suggestion.

He did reverse the direction of the huge station, the crossing is still messy though.

Look up some let's plays or tutorials on factorio. They'll help you a great lot.

I need to watch the fixit still but. I took a look at his train system myself. Another big issue I saw was honestly the friggin 3 engine, 6 cargo trains...those huge beasts, if they ever hit the wrong portion of the track, would immediately gum up the works, and cause a hault to the system. In all ...
