Factorio Compact Layout Tutorial 

I've have 600 lol

Yeah im new at the game, about 100+ hours in and i kinda love these old textures too, kinda reminds me of an old mc texture called "soartex fanver"

Yeah the mouth noise before a lot of sentences

Thank you M. N. Arı! That makes me very happy to hear! I've just uploaded a new video if you are interested :)

sublimeant i will definitely check it out!

M. N. Arı reminds me on Bob Ross Let's make a tiny factory here...

Thanks Oskar, glad you like it! I've just uploaded a new video if you are interested, and more will come :)

(not as expandable = once you go further down, the build stops, because the first few iterations of the build take up the full bandwidth of the belt.) But no arguments against this being the most compact way to build these particular items....just not as good for long term use as one might think.

But the biggest issue is that, by having everything based on direct insertion, you spread your circuit production out (making beacons harder to employ, or even doubling the amount of assemblers you are using in a base for circuit production. Sectioned off areas specifically designed for circuits means that, yes you have to belt (or otherwise transport circuits to factories that require them), but it's overall less costly....especially once you get to massive builds. The time i can see this design technique functioning especially well (or being the optimal design) is specifically for very early game. (want to spend 10 minutes crafting ONLY inserters and belts for a large blueprinted smelting array? this is a nice little blueprintable section of a small base that can be painlessly employed and then removed. But you would not want to use this technique everywhere (or for very long). Specifically for the reason that circuit production is best done in its own area where it can benefit 1) from dedicated lines of resources that have been calculated for perfect ratios and 2) enough space to use beacons to maximize circuits per hour / space required.

Sentient2x Fuck off, he's given valid, "polite" criticism. Just because your idiot self can't handle it...

I think structures draw power only when they're active. So, if this design doesn't have a 100% uptime, then it doesn't draw 100% power.

@@bloopbleep7527 Oh shit, did I say a no no word?

Thank you PipoGeee! I've just uploaded a new video if you are interested :)

the stuff it makes isnt taken out

I do a splitting off furnace+trainwagon system. the train can have 4 cargo wagons, I put each train-wagon's harvested material output(ores) to it's own separated(from the other wagons) boxing and conveyor belt line, going to 4 individual furnace lines(6 long?) totally separated. It ends up as a box coming out with 4 different storage and base output locations, from the one initial resource depo, per say. I pull each area to a different necessity and use splitters to further dictate their flow. It's hard to end on a % that isn't divisible by 2 like 1/3rd, probably partially impossible actually.

If the compact design has bad ratios you can use modules to help balance it out, and usually you can use long-hand inserters, normal inserters and advanced underground belts to pull faster outputs out of the machine elsewhere. In any case, wasted time on something you are optimizing for compactness is usually the lower-number demanded items. At least I wouldn't recommend for en masse, so you're definitely right on that notification.

Can you make a video optimizing his design?

I suggest you to do the tutorials, you'll find out a lot of good tips there
