ALLON-SY!!!

@versed abyss here we go :P a dedicated thread

[versed abyss]

well just ping me or any others with questions, one tip is to not build large in the early game because of bad technology.

[wet prawn]

very quick, very dirty red automation

[wet prawn]

yeah, i am a patient man

i will wait

[wet prawn]

thank GOD for helmod

this gets complex, very fast

[wet prawn]

starter base; it does red science.

[wet prawn]

automated yellow belts, and their subsidiaries.

a bit of spaghetti, but meh

[wet prawn]

tfw time to afk for a while

[wet prawn]

automated green science, now to try and get a lot more belts (afk time :P)

[wet prawn]

well, turns out, 6 coal miners is NOT enough for ~80 steel furnaces

good thing i situated my power production RIGHT fuckin next to my miners, or i'd be straight out of coal

lmao

but, 25 miners is more than enough (for now)

automated pipes and miners.

[wet prawn]

🤌

just a taste of spaghet with automated inserters

[wet prawn]

power death spiral go brrrrrrrrt

[versed abyss]

lol

[wet prawn]

5 black starts later.... up to 107MW potential production lol

[versed abyss]

sounds like you need nuclear

[wet prawn]

havent even unlocked nuclear yet lol

i only just unlocked bots

i gotta get more science before nuclear

[versed abyss]

eh might as well rush the turbines and get them stockpilled

[wet prawn]

aaaaallll of this is just boilers lol

[versed abyss]

you will need 400 turbines for the cme

[wet prawn]

aight queued the research lol

[versed abyss]

👍

[wet prawn]

here's my base so far lol

[versed abyss]

That whole middle line is blue science????? You know you don’t need more than 30 spm

[wet prawn]

yeah lol

i just built it for the lolz

[versed abyss]

Well it’s a waste of lolz

[wet prawn]

it's my playthrough, and i'm going to be innefficient, dangit!

[wet prawn]

8 lanes-ish of iron ore... this should be enough for 0.25 belts of orange sci

[wet prawn]

upgraded furnace stacks

or well, rather

rebuilt them to be a standard design lol

i think it's 26 furnaces per half belt of ore.. so that what i built

[brazen onyx]

Blueprint String

2Belt-SteelMaker

[wet prawn]

this thing makes 2 red belts of steel, i think.

rendered it wrong, lol

missed the 2 belts on the left

4 belts

[brazen onyx]

365MW SteamPlant

[wet prawn]

@versed abyss if my maths is right, it should be about 4 belts of coal input for 640 steam engines....

what do you think?

+faq cracking

[slow eagle]

Cracking

To use Advanced Oil Processing, all output fractions (Heavy, Light, Gas) must be consumed.
Since the gas is typically the most in demand, converting ("cracking") the heavier fractions into lighter ones is desired.
However, you do want/need the heavier fractions for some things. Circuit controls to the rescue!
Wiki guide

In short: 1) Storage tank with a pump as output 2) Logic wire (either color) connecting the tank and the pump 3) Click pump, set pumping condition / reserve level
It's easy to control the levels and prevent cracking anything but excess

+faq robots

[slow eagle]

Robots

If your personal roboport (in the grid of your armor - right click the armor to access it, even while equipped) isn't working, consider the following:
• Is it charged? It takes a while to charge, especially on solar panels.
• Is it enabled? There's a toggle in the shortcut bar, with default hotkey Alt-R.
• Do you have construction robots in your inventory? They're separate from other networks.
• Do you have the items in your inventory? Final products, not ingredients.
• Are you in range? Hold a deconstruction planner in your hand; you should see a green square around you, unless inside another network.
• Are other bots taking the job already? If you're inside a network, your personal bots will try to take jobs first, but once the job goes to the network, its bots are responsible--even if it is slower than your personal bots would have been.

(If NO BOTS seem to be responding, and all of the above check out, turn on the robot overlay on the map and make sure you don't have bots stuck somewhere in a hole in your network!)
