how did you command the drones to work?

Those work hours have a global option checkbox, what does that do when adjusting hours when it's checked? FYI: Every belt after level 1 is cheaper to run long distance underground as the cost of the underground only go up by 500 per level( per tile, so x2 no matter the distance ran) while the belt prices double per level PER TILE. If you have the laser gun contract, you'll want to get the nanotube factories up and running, which means building floor space and a lot of farms for organics, so pipe slag into the building to be stored and distributed.

The multi-item storage would work as a good buffer coming out of the cargo dock. Run a belt into 1 side and divide all the possible items collectable as filtered outputs from the other 3 sides. You could continue branching each output into more multi-item storages until only 3 specific items are feeding into the last and then dedicate those outputs into single item storage chests. Otherwise the multi-item storage piles could allow your bots to keep the factories building as their outputs would be emptied to a larger amount than the default 20 before being backed up. Alternatively run splitter off a short output belt from each factory into a single item chest so they won't fill up, the bots will have a place to grab items from and you would be ready to belt those items to other places in the future. A last note, don't forget to keep storages for the items that are used for repairs like components and microcircuits. Glad you noticed the extreme savings you can have when using the higher speed belts underground, my only suggestion is when bridging between 2 undergrounds to continue a run, leave an extra tile for a belt to be turned into a splitter for future branching of items on or off the belts.

Hey pimp, what mod do you use to keep the trees around?

Hi, I've been binge-watching the series over the past week (liking each video in the process), I'm happy to having caught up and see you keep it going even if the slow pace of this mod maybe doesn't fit well with the attention span for Let's Plays here on RU-vid. Keep up the good work I am really enjoying it!

keep it up!

Dead World and IR3 sound very interesting. Watching to learn.

No way, death world AND industrial revolution?

nice base is coming along well ... I don't really have much opinion to add in comment because this style of base is not the way I learned to play the game from the veterans I only learned the expanding bunker ( walls with turrets ) and been going with that in mods too so by the time I get behemoth bites I'm pretty much always ready haha ... I'm not hard-core as much as the veterans who crank the difficulty to max and make miracles happen I'm not nearly has good 😎

Just stumbled upon this video randomly in my youtube recommendations. This mod looks insane! Such a different style of factorio than I am used to. Cool video

Note: The underground belts can save a lot of money as they are the same cost no matter the distance ran, thus the higher upgraded the underground belt length is the better the savings, also better savings when using higher level belt speeds. If you keep a tile between belt lines you can use the underground belts to pull from belts nestled between other belt lines making an easier multi-item bus to transport all your items around. As each single item storage holds 500(512) items and the large store 2k remember to upgrade your supply chests to large or multiple storage chests for items you need to provide more than 500 items for( especially the laser components smart concrete, iron, silicon, components,...)

Wait a goddamn second this is the same seed as the death world

aww damn its incompatible with kras and SE im kinda addicted to those mods at the moment

Hi. Its looks killing with flame turrets is better than shotguns from beggining and there are not so loud :-)

Howdy Helly, Been binging a lot of crust these days and have learned a lot. For example the building you put into the base that wouldn't power up is a bug that can be solved by a save and reload of the game, As for in general I have a few suggestions about belts throughput and power management. The sum of all the power used from all the factories the grid powers is the power consumption and is a capacity limit managed by the number of batteries and their max capacity values. So you must have mor battery capacity than consumption else you'll get brownouts even if your batteies have plenty of charge available. The max recharge rate is the speed a battery can be filled up with solar panels( or fuel generators), ensure your total power supply is equal to your total max recharge rate, any more wastes CPU and any less means you may not charge your batteries fully in a lunar day. I suggest planning around the idea of basic level 1 belts, 60 items per. That is 3 regular extractors or 2 level 1 upgraded extractors worth of unprocessed ore. It is also exactly the capacity of an unupgraded multi-refinery input. The output is harder to calculate as each "leg" is effected by the ore ratio going into it, with the exception of slag which is a fairly constant 1/5th of the input( 60 per or 12 per max). In general if you setup an series of 5 multi-refineries you'd max out your slag output along with all the other belts, however if each of the regolith lines running into the multi's averaged the ratio of silicon, for example, to 50%( vs a balanced 25%) then you'd have 2 belts worth of silicon coming out of all the multi's. With well designed buffer bulk storage( using 3 sides as 3 separate belt inputs and 1 as output to refineries) for each ore, slag and regolith then you can balance and optimize the system with 20 extractors( or 30 unupgraded) feeding 5 multi-refineries outputting 5 full level 1 belts of each ore and 1 for slag going to their individual smart concrete and refinery arrays. Plan the lines as before, enough to handle a full 60 belt. Note slag is only consumed by the smart concrete factories( besides some with farms for organics) and it pairs with silicon so a higher ratio of silicon for the smart concrete should be helpful. Thus a "bala.nced" average ratio would be Si around 50% with Ti, Fe, and Al around 16.6% each A last note for any factory/refining array/series: in the splitter, star the filtered item into every factory input, if the factory fills it it will back up and "turn off" letting all items past for the next factory. This will make the 1st in the lines always on with the last dependent on all the prior buildings states. If you do not set the stars then items will waste time waiting to be filled in the end factories as each splitter gives a decreasing proportion of the original belt total 50%/25%/12.5%/6.25%/...

I enjoyed this. Keep it up please bro!

Maybe a dumb question but it's this a mod?

play with rampant mod

looks like you struggle with flamethrower creep💥good luck learning the tech its usually done with non-underground pipes get the wall done ass soon as possible it doesn't need to be pretty use bots to help build frontline flamethrowers, and for repairs

There isnt any smart concrete until 20 minutes in for the next viewer /sigh

Congratulations on the little one!

Your garden base is super cosy: Factorew Valley

You seem tierd in the begging need a little bit energy but love the content ❤️

hi. I start this mode 5 times on default settings and never finish blue science. its too slow and sorry for this but if someone start to play this mode I dont think you need to explain how things work. Of course you can but for begginers its too much and for long time player is not much fun. I even finish sea block because there is still something to do but for this mode I just still waitng for something. no offence, I saw all parts up to now but this part I wake up after 1 hour :-).

@spandanganguli6903 It's not a permanent night, but the day cycle is very long (6 hours) with extremely hard nights. During the day, nests do not spawn any biters, but they track how many need to spawn. When night comes, all of them will attack at once, similar to "They Are Billions."

@LCBC11 Sure! Here's how the Rampant mod works: The Rampant mod is hardcore and adds a lot of challenging mechanics without replacing "vanilla" or other mod mechanics, allowing them to work simultaneously. It doesn't populate the entire map by default but can attack from afar and assess defenses to bypass them. Biters can even launch underground attacks, passing through small water barriers. As evolution increases, more dangerous types of biters appear, and existing nests mutate too. This requires more thoughtful defense strategies as difficulty builds up gradually. Early game biters are weaker than standard ones, but they become much tougher, making it harder than standard Rampant. It's not recommended for first-time Rampant players. There are various options for the location of Rampant's enemies and other enemies. The mod is very hardcore, and I am really sorry that my microphone wasn't working earlier-I spent almost 30 minutes explaining how the mod works, including biter evolution, their tiers, and their weaknesses and resistances. I will explain all of these in the next episode, with my microphone ON :)

@richardkennedy6814 - Unfortunately, we're still in the first night, and the challenge has a very long day cycle-one in-game day lasts 6 hours. The nights are darker, and we're using the Realistic Flashlight mod for a more... realistic, horror feel.

No sound from my microphone-sorry, everyone! OBS was fine, but it seems RU-vid only used one audio channel. I didn't double-check. If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments, and I'll answer them all.

Oops! It turns out my microphone wasn't recorded during the livestream. Interestingly, OBS seemed fine. Apologies, everyone. I ended up talking to myself for the last 8 hours! 😅 If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments, and I'll answer them all.

hmm for now im my IR3 save i did use shotty turret creep for early nests but they fall short really quick ( low hp ) and even with the steel shells they just cant tank the hits the medium biters dish out i had sadly to upgrade to gunner turrets asap to push further out and with steel bullets to boot but with flame throwers in early mid game it turns the tables really quick to expand and protect until you get the longer range weaponry ( fyi laser turrets are not viable until you get nuclear running on deathmaps just too much power needed solar just cant keep up early on ) nice base cheers!! :D

from my experience with these deathworld challenges and what i remember of IR3 i would try this: 1) shotgun turret spam 2) calculate if using low tier ammo is more resource efficient 3) rush flamethrowers 4) try some insane tactic with IR3 wehicles as a battering ram + grenades

now start over as its way harder lol.

Hello, You could try the prologue, it is more complete than the demo.

What game is this?

Hi maybe you can little bit decrease game sounds because its too loud according to your voice. Esspeciacly guns, sometimes I needs to push mute button.

OH BOY... You have made this WAY more complex than it needs to be.. OK the first thing you need to do is pick a farm you want to keep and dismantle ALL the other farms. Now as for naming, always use the same symbol at the start of a stations name to make sure all stations show up in the list with one key press, i use the minus key so my stations names look something like ( - Farm OUTPUT #04 ) ( - Sirius I Power OUTPUT ) ( - Home Power INPUT - South ). Now about groups, the only thing that should be grouped to make life easier is your Darkfog farm. Others that can benefit from grouping are: Antimatter OUTPUT (Hydrogen) and Graphene OUTPUT (Hydrogen) so you can easily find them to link to your Casimir Crystal INPUT. Exclusive things like 1 to 1 Power Systems should not be in a group because they only interact with themselves therefore grouping them is pointless. Ok so now i'll explain how to setup your ( - Farm OUTPUT # X ) group to easily find anything you need by only naming 1 through X. - Step 1; Name the farm stations - Farm OUTPUT # X then group all of them to #1 priority - Step 2; Go to the planet you wish to INPUT the goods, name the station "- Something INPUT" and set it to group #1 ( or the same # you allocated to the farms OUTPUT group ) - Step 3; Click on the large box on the right side of the priority window that has a number and says "Stations" under it, this well bring up a list of the stations in the group and little icons of the items they have available, now scroll down the list to find the item you wish to INPUT to your station. - Step 4; Click on the configure button in the "Point to Point" tab, this will open a window to the left, click the + button in that window to open the text box, now type the name of the station that had the item icon you needed in that text box. Example: I saw that green chips are in Station "- Farm OUTPUT #05" so i type 5 and this shows - Farm OUTPUT #05 in the drop down list i click on it and then click the add button to its right.

you have good videos, idk why you are not getting a lot of subcribers and views on your videos! wish u luck! btw i am ur new subscriber)

Also..... Um that farm you want to make is probably going to melt your CPU. The farm i made in the end was two pole defender style builds with planet shields to block bases landing anywhere but the equator and a strip of land linking the two poles together. The reasoning behind two (one at each pole) was due to CPU lag and it was also WAY to much for one base to handle. oh and on another note if you want to build a base and take over a planet easy then go to the darkfog communicator and pay for an hour of peace, then you can take the oil and topple their government under the pretense of "looking for W.M.D's" while only small amounts of them fight back.

The new priority system for logistics towers can fix this for you, Name the farm logistics tower that has the item you need then Name the logistics tower on the planet you wish it to be sent (the one with the fuel rods you're splitting onto the line as a priority) then link the two towers as priority pairing; and to make %100 sure it'll be used first, belt the item to where it's needed and priority split it on like you did the fuel rods.

Get ready for an exhilarating ride! Things are about to get CRAZY! So crazy that I'm tempted to start over. After recording 34 episodes, I'll relive the madness and save those 14 hours. But hey, this journey is all about experiencing it together, right? Hope you're ready to join me for the wild ride ahead. Enjoy!

I quite like the design of your farm, looks good. I am stuck at yelllow research right now :)

Up vote, thanks 🎉

You might want burner inserters pulling the wood out of the forestries into chests.

Apologies, everyone. I see that the title referred to episode #14. However, in this episode, we haven't constructed the power plant yet; instead, our focus is on researching Electricity.
