Factorio, by Wube, is a game in which you build and maintain factories. You will be mining resources, researching technologies, building infrastructure, automating production and fighting enemies. In the beginning you will find yourself chopping trees, mining ores and crafting mechanical arms and transport belts by hand, but in short time you can become an industrial powerhouse, with huge solar fields, oil refining and cracking, manufacture and deployment of construction and logistic robots, all for your resource needs. However this heavy exploitation of the planet's resources does not sit nicely with the locals, so you will have to be prepared to defend yourself and your machine empire.
Join forces with other players in cooperative Multiplayer, create huge factories, collaborate and delegate tasks between you and your friends. Add mods to increase your enjoyment, from small tweak and helper mods to complete game overhauls, Factorio's ground-up Modding support has allowed content creators from around the world to design interesting and innovative features. While the core gameplay is in the form of the freeplay scenario, there are a range of interesting challenges in the form of the Scenario pack, available as free DLC. If you don't find any maps or scenarios you enjoy, you can create your own with the in-game Map Editor, place down entities, enemies, and terrain in any way you like, and even add your own custom script to make for interesting gameplay.

I updated the BP Book to include a new design for Kovarex Processing, which eliminates any clogging due to extra U-238 on the lines.

@Talrich77 7 лет назад

Fantastic. We haven't solved that problem yet, so I'll be interested to see what you came up with. Thanks.

@coreben 7 лет назад

hmm i have an issue when i import your BP. imgur.com/a/D0bfT Is this a problem with the string or with my client? I double checked if i copied the complete string

@KatherineOfSky 7 лет назад

@Coreben. I don't know where the problem lies. I just tested in my vanilla game, and I got "blueprint book imported successfully"... and all the blueprints had the correct buildings, etc. Try to import into a completely vanilla game, and make sure your game is updated to the latest version. Also, when you copy the string, go to the google docs page, and press Ctrl+A, (to select All). Then copy & paste.

@coreben 7 лет назад

Hey Kathrine, my game is full vanilla, since i try to get some of the production per time achievements. also im running version 0.15.12 which i think is the latest. Really strange thing...it deletes every building with modules in it and yes i even researched them (which shouldnt be necessary) However, thanks for your answer and keep up with your excellent videos.

@ph0sgene967 7 лет назад

I dont see the kovarex blueprint in the google drive, where is it?

@greyghostmike6256 4 года назад

I followed this processing layout and am loving the results. I recently upgraded to a 4 reactor setup and thanks to the Kovarex setup I have a ridiculous amount of surplus fuel. I’ve also set my reactor inserted to only grab fuel when steam drops below a certain threshold, which has saved me tons of fuel over time.

Thank you so much for taking the time to create and upload these videos. As well as sharing the blueprints. I think i have seen your name pop up in some twitch streams and have seen your megabase playlist. Is that still viable in the current version of Factorio please ? Would love to have a try of playing along with the videos :)

@KatherineOfSky 6 лет назад

The concepts in the Megabase series are still very valid, though some things like science recipes have changed, and also we have the new splitter functionality, so it wouldn't be necessary to calculate the drop-off points for the lanes of iron/copper, etc. You could simply shift all the items with the splitters, then add new materials later in the bus. After the MP series I'm doing with Caledorn, I will be doing a new vanilla series :-)

@KatherineOfSky 7 лет назад

@rampantsarcasm2220 6 лет назад

The devs seem to have based it off of real science as much as they can(i.e. the way power works is identical to how actual electricity works in terms of mathematics in the game), and since no reactor ever goes 'boom' if it goes wrong, you'll be safe

@RDaneelOliwav 6 лет назад

well, stored flamable fluids and explosives dont explode whilst being destroyed or shot. I'd expect that a tankwaggon full of petrol gas would explode

@gilian2587 2 месяца назад

If you want it to go boom if you do it wrong; there's the 'Realistic Reactor' mod. It makes the reactors WAAAY more complicated and it forces you to use circuit logic to even use the reactors. For example... the temperature will continuously go up until it reaches 1000 degrees C; and it will pop and produce fallout. You need to feed water into the reactors to cool them down and the water needs to be fed into a cooling tower to cool the hot water that comes out of the reactor. But in vanilla factorio -- the reactors are either on or off; they'll never melt down.

@@greyhunter3271 Eh, I'm not really devoted to perfect ratios yet. I'm redoing my spaghetti factory right now to just try to straighten out my supply lines. I'm doing my best to make sure that I've got enough room to expand so that I can add those perfect ratios later, but I just want to make sure the factory can do 100% of it's work on it's own so I can focus entirely on optimizing and expanding it. Maybe I'll just restart and build a whole new factory next to my starter factory with all that delicious unlocked tech. I certainly learned enough lessons about how trains and the railway system worked that I want to tear up and rebuild the entire network again and again. I like that I can just swap my attention to whatever I want to work on whenever I get bored, or if I get a bit too frustrated with a problem. I've killed so many biter bases that I never really bothered building walls around my factory. There's plenty of breathing room between the pollution cloud and the biters. I've basically swapped over to solar energy and accumulators by now. My power grid is probably ridiculous considering the average activity and the needs of my factory.

I don't always need the full power (solar power during day, over production) of my reactors therefore I store the steam in storage tanks and only input one fuel cell in each reactor at the same time if the steam in storage drops below a certain limit

@Septimus_ii 7 лет назад

goron111 you really want to keep them going all the time because of the long heating up times

@goron111 7 лет назад

they keep the heat as the heat exchangers dont use up any heat below 500°C, one other plus side is that you can scale the max power output Independent from the heat production. for example you can use the 2x2 reactor setup the with few turbines early on for optima uranium usage

I love these tutorials, and I'd love a quick tutorial on when you should use trains, I haven't ever dabbled in them in a way that is actually useful.

I want to make the most efficient factory I can and I don't yet understand how trains are better than belts.

Don't be sorry -- I really enjoy hearing from everyone who takes the time to comment! They are on my list, and I hoping to get to them fairly soon. Quick answer about trains -- the main benefit is that they are faster and cheaper than belts when it comes to transporting mass amounts of materials medium-to-long distances.

maybe a bit late to say this, this game amaze me the most is this whole nuclear feature, from mining the uranium ore to refine it, then at nuclear power plant including heat exchanger, heat pipe, turbine machine. of course this game isn't hardcore nuclear power simulator, but this game offers you a feel that it is you the player make this huge amount of power supply works. I remember the first time i play this game and when i research the nuclear technology i was like whaaaat, cause exactly at that time i am start having power shortage, and when my first nuclear power start working i feel like man this is something i just done to change my entire gameplay, and this kind of feel i never found from other game. and also this is a good tutorial that with clear guidance.

@KatherineOfSky 4 года назад

Grats! Nuclear is a big step!

@gilian2587 2 месяца назад

A different approach for the kovarex process -- you can use a u235 overflow mechanism for generating the u235. Basically; there is a limited buffer to the number of u235 that can be accepted in the centrifuges - it's on the scale of roughly 83 if I recall correctly. If you have a circular belt where the outer part of belt is fed u238 and the inner part of the belt is fed u235; then you wire all u235 that's generated in a centrifuge to go back into the centrifuge -- you need to make sure that you have 3 blue inserts in front of the centrifuge to guarantee that 100% of the u235 gets captured; you'll accumulate u235 until you hit the centrifuge's buffer saturation point at roughly 83 u235... in which case, on the scale of 1 or 2 u235 will move past the 3 blue inserts and you can filter all u235 coming out of the saturated centrifuges into your other systems; at which point your kovarex loop will become a pure u235 generator. The disadvantage to using this technique is that it'll take about 40-50 minutes before a given centrifuge reaches it's saturation point; the advantage is that it requires absolutely no circuit logic, set up the system once and go work on other systems for a while and your kovarex generator will be working before you know it.

@MichaelClark-uw7ex 5 лет назад

I always wait till I get Kovarex then let it run for a while before building reactors, Kovarex combined with spent fuel reprocessing and my Uranium mines almost shut down. Because Kovarex takes so much U-235(40 units per centrifuge) to get started, I start it before I need reactor power and set up a continuous recycling system only inputting U-238 when needed and let it run, after you get 40 centrifuges it will output 41 extra u-235 every cycle and should cover all your U-235 needs for reactors, bombs and nuclear fuel cartridges plus you won't have to figure out what to do with all that extra U-238. Of course that is for an medium average size base, a megabase would definitely require a larger processing facility.

@Baer1990 4 года назад

I'm contemplating your design for the urarium loop. I'm just building my 2nd factory so I'm still figurting everything out. What I did was make a loop with the 238 on the outside, kovarex enrichment unloading on the inside. And somewhere a splitter that filters the U-238. (now the complicated part in explaining :P) on the other side of the spliter I have the feed from the uranum ore processing. So basically the U238 is on a constant loop, and the feed from the ore processing is filling in the gaps. Only thing I've got to still figure out is how to get the excess U235 off, I still am doing that manually. But love your videos, you have a very good way of explaining things and a pleasant voice to listen too.

@T12J7 4 года назад

Why the steam turbines aren't running with full capacity when you have this _optimal_ setup? The steam turbines say that their maximal electricity production is 5.8 MW, but I haven't found any explanation on how to achieve that. With some of my setups some of the steam turbines run on this maximal capacity and some don't produce anything, and some other setups produce this homogeneous result, that you also have, where all of them run on the same _sub-maximal_ capacity. Would like to have them all run on the maximal capacity - any ideas on how to achieve that?

You need to be using maximum power in your factory: the game throttles all forms of steam engines to only produce what is needed.

@brettlathrope3612 5 лет назад

I have watched this video several times. Its a stellar video Katherine ... but it loses me in a couple of places if your ever remake another one ... I don't get the 41 count on the chests ... because there doesn't seem to be any consistency of 235 vs 238 demanded by the the processor before it starts chugging. So I just took your number, doubled it (for two processors) and made it 90. That works eventually, but I am still bothered I don't understand it. The other thing that confuses me, is you make a point at 12:15 to talk about the limited distance of the pipes ... then your show these massively long systems. I know I'm missing something you said, but I don't get how that limited distance issue suddenly isn't an issue. You don't have to address these here (well you don't *have* to address them ever), but at some point I know you'll make another because they'll change something.

Wondered how to make a sorting mechanism, where the inner circle of the Kovarex does not has to flow back into the initial sorting machine. This is what came out: the red wires on the "Uranium-238 < 1" by reading from the chest. This way all the U-238 is recycled without running back on the belt and the line does´t has to be sorted out again. imgur.com/a/xak5a

@goffe2282 7 лет назад

Thanks for a really good tutorial. One thing that would be nice to see covered is how to store the energy. I believe that in recent patches the empty fuel cell is output at the end of the process (which makes sense but wasn't previously the case) and you can then set up a system that stores the steam in tanks and have the turbines feed from the tanks on a per-need basis. You can then have a circuit setup that checks if there is an empty fuel cell in the output chest amount of steam in the tanks is bellow some threshold and only start a new process if that is the case. Otherwise the nuclear plants will just discard the excess energy which is a shame. ..... not that it makes much sense that we can store steam in tanks without it cooling, but there you go. At any rate, I'd be interested in these setups.

@KatherineOfSky 7 лет назад

The problem with those kinds of setups is that your energy needs will be fluctuating CONSTANTLY as you build a larger and larger factory, and thus it would be very difficult to figure out how much time you have on x number of tanks at any given period. U-235 is so cheap to produce, I feel like it's not a good use of time to set up those rube-golderberg-esque setups. There are lots of tutorials on the Factorio forums, Reddit and Steam if you desire to play with combinators. Practically speaking, though, setting that up is not worth the effort.

@goffe2282 7 лет назад

Right, but if your power output is too low then you have a problem no matter what, and if it is too high then the extra power is wasted. Unless you have a buffer I don't see how nuclear power can be used effectively on its own, but it would have to be used in conjunction with steam or solar that scales with your current power draw. I must be missing something. If your tanks empty that means that you need another pair of reactors, just as you need to scale up any power system as your factory expands.

@ianpulsford2295 6 лет назад

What I found in your system (at the point that your making 235 it backs up on the belt as you have no way for 235 to return to the end .. this is the point it plugs the system..238 has taken over the belt and the system is now full of 238 and has no place to go. It locks up... Keeping 235 on its own belt and 238 on its own belt and stops the plug that happens with your belt that '"Tee's" in,,, I sent you a blue print that has a built in safety that will not plug up and will run smooth for a long time. It unplugs its self. I have been running this none stop for weeks... it ran without one problem and no plugs/ stopping to be fixed. BLUE PRINT: (This system loads itself at each point and has a exit for each unit. Once a unit has filled it stops. (Basic Belt system) I worked on this for weeks to come up with a none plugging system that's small with no chest. Its still running without a problem. (it scans the belt taken any overage off the belt and put in a chest. If the belt scans and there is no 235 it will turn on to fill the belt and then stop, The Active chest removes the plugging problem that happens from 238. the 238 is not mixed with the 235 at any point. Self load. Self remove, No plug. Drop and forget.. . Try it out.. (put your own chip in it) Yes you need robots for it.. but this is a end game system. 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

@Dekedence 4 года назад

Has something major changed since this video was released? (and blueprints published) I tried the 2 reactor model blueprint (chests, not belts) ... ratio of 2R : 16HE : 27ST : 2OSP ... should be getting me 160MW The turbines spun up as expected once the heat exchangers got to 500ºC, but each turbine was only doing ~1.5MW (because they're only getting 16/s steam instead of the full 60/s). I checked the heat exchangers, and it seems that only the two nearest the shoreline were actually producing steam at full capacity (103/s). I checked the two offshore pumps and sure enough neither were doing the full 1200/s. I feel like it has something to do with fluid mechanics; the distance the water needs to travel between offshore pump and first heat exchanger. Although I do recognise that there's 20 lengths of pipe for each 'run' and the wiki says that should still be doing 1169/s. I tested an offshore pump direct into a storage tank, and it ran at 1200/s (until the tank was full).

@KatherineOfSky 4 года назад

Is your water too far from the end of the array? Are you *consuming* enough power to make the turbines run at full?

@Dekedence 4 года назад

Ok, turns out I'm a dumbass! I didn't realise that steam turbines, even when in a nuclear setup, throttle themselves based on the power your factory needs. I'd been using an array of steam turbines (not steam engines) with the coal-powered boilers as a stop-gap, a slightly wobbly but generally stable 90MW array, before getting a decent amount of U-235 / fuel cells. It's my first ever play-through of Factorio, so I thought I was being smart by not dismantling the coal-powered array until I was sure the new 2-reactor setup could handle the load. Of course, the fact that the coal-powered array existed meant that the nuclear setup wasn't really trying. As soon as a dismantled it, the nuclear spun up properly. All not lost though ... through this trial and error, I've realised by placement should be properly up against the shoreline instead of a little inland (my first choice). As I spotted that my water throughput is only at ~66/100 and therefore I'm only getting 2/3 output from each turbine (~4.3MW).

@KatherineOfSky 4 года назад

Glad you found the issue! First playthrough and tackling nuclear is very impressive! Keep having fun with the game! :-)

@ProsandCons26 7 лет назад

Dammit, my uranium setup backs up with too much Uranium 238 which means the 235 cant come around again to feed into the machines. Not sure how i can solve this problem.

@KatherineOfSky 7 лет назад

You can add chests for 238, or change one to an active provider (but make sure you change it back once you get enough 235).

@ianpulsford2295 6 лет назад

It's possible to end up with too much if you don't mine enough and let the process run away. I use combinators to turn kovarex off if I have more than 1:19 U235:U238 (1:13 I think I read somewhere if you factor in fuel cell reprocessing).

Ohhhh, you can use Productivity modules in the basic Uranium Processing? Hah, I never tried since I read they in patch notes that they disabled Productivity in Kovarex enrichment process. Its fine though, once it gets going I've got like 20.000+ of U-235 sitting around, I'm actually running low on "less" useful U-238 due to spending it on ammo T_T

@LamirLakantry 6 лет назад

For the love of god, just call them light and dark. It's so confusing listening to you say "40 2 38" or 42 38" etc. Sounds like you're starting to list a phone number. I have to pause and rewind to remember which you're on about.

@KatherineOfSky 6 лет назад

If you're using the system, you should probably memorize the numbers -- they're not hard. Complaining about the official in-game description with "the love of god" is a bit dramatic and silly, don't you think? (Just FYI, I've never called them "light and dark" -- why would I do that in a video?)

@billroberts10 7 лет назад

At the 17:27 mark, we see that 6 reactors require 80 heat exchangers - yet the layout shows 7 x 12 exchangers = 84 exchangers. I'm running into water supply issues and just wondering if that has something to do with it.

@KatherineOfSky 7 лет назад

If you use the BPs from the drive, the 6x reactor setup has 7 lines of HEs/Turbines. Each of those needs its own water connection. (The few extra HEs/Turbines are not relevant to the setup, since it is based on how much water throughput per pipe.)

@iycgtptyarvg 7 лет назад

Wow! My base is puny and simplistic compared to this. I want to start with the nuclear process for the fun of it. I have about 200 hours in this game, and have never even put down a single piece of rail yet. Thanks for the video!

@KatherineOfSky 7 лет назад

You're very welcome! Indeed, most ore settings are plentiful for launching a rocket. Only when you get to launching multiples do you really need to venture further afield with trains. I quite enjoy designing rail networks, so I like to put my resources at low frequency!

@nickm3694 3 года назад

You are great! One thing I want to criticize is that your setup looks too complicated for a beginner and hard to understand. I know this video is not labeled as "..For beginners" , but still.

@KatherineOfSky 6 лет назад

Thanks! This is a tutorial on nuclear power. When you get to that point in the game, you need to have at least some experience playing :-) Nuclear is complicated by it's very nature. Presumably, people watch the tutorial because they've tried "winging it" and it's not working for them, so I show them efficient setups :-)

@ralphgmr 6 лет назад

If I'm not using 7 steam turbines, I'm wasting the uranium fuel or does it consume the fuel slower? (at the moment I have one nuclear reactor and only 1 heat exchanger connected to 2 steam turbines)

@KatherineOfSky 6 лет назад

The fuel burns at a constant rate, whether or not you are using all the power it provides..

@kabelor56 5 лет назад

does this still apply in version 0.17?

@Napoleon_Blownapart 5 лет назад

Yes, the rations still apply. Altough i suggest avoid using long water pipes to feed the heat exchangers. The setups on this video have problems with water shortage when the plant is under heavy load. I usually have my exchangers plugged in straight to the water pump and have no problems.

@wallybahny 7 лет назад

Is there any reason to have more than 1 U235 to every 19 U238? I let my Kovarex run away for a little while and ended up with way more than that so now I've shut it down for a while.

@KatherineOfSky 7 лет назад

If you are making a lot of atomic bombs, you'll need a ton of 235.

@wallybahny 7 лет назад

That explains it - haven't researched A-bombs yet. Thanks!

@leerman22 7 лет назад

I don't like how the centrifuges make 100% "boom stuff uranium" at random. I'd much rather these things stringed together enriching uranium gas by 2% each time and moving on to the next, removing the depleted uranium gas down another line to be "metalized" for later use. If you wanted to make a bomb you would need at least 45 of these together (>90% boom stuff), some real work mid-game. That way you can adjust the potency of fuel, or use a breeder reactor instead of koravex/magic (they magically remove 3 neutrons from the uranium) to make even more (MOX) fuel or "boom stuff plutonium". Breeder reactors need >20% enriched core to even start.

@EnderCrypt 7 лет назад

theres a slight inefficiency with your korvax processing, if you use the circuit network you can ensure theres ALWAYS no more than 40 u-235 in the korvax process, instead of having unnecessary amounts of u-235 going around the way i did it, was setting a timer that ensures everytime korvax enrichment finishes, a inserter will take out 1 u-235 then wait for the process to finish

@KatherineOfSky 7 лет назад

I'm not bothered if there's extra in the machine. When it gets to the end of the line, it's in a box anyway :-)

@EnderCrypt 7 лет назад

wow, thats an impressivly quick response thats true, when you get a few thousands of u-235 it doesent really matter, but automation early on takes forever, so being able to get a stack of multiple refiners that dont require more than 40 u-235 really saves time ^^ ps. awesome video, keep up the good work ^^
