The Marble Factory #3 

I always wondered where Mikan gets all their marbles from. Turns out, they're made off-world!

I want to see a full picture of how large and complex this is (maybe on community posts). This is incredible!

MIKAN never fails to amaze us, that was an epic and flabbergasting marble factory!

This is by far, the most interesting marble factory to exist in Algodoo/Unity community. You can't deny it unless you see the whole process This actually brings a new theory for me that, high quality marbles don't actually being produced on Earth but rather on other rocky surface. Best bet I can say this takes place on the Moon but one other thing I can speculate, is Planet MIKAN. Would it have also been the place for the whole time? Since other rocky plants (Mercury, Mars, Venus) haven't provide any such resources for marble creations....

Interesting... After the video, I will explain the mechanics. A machine finds minerals in which there are 2 types: white and colorful (cyan, orange, magenta). They will go into a separator in which, separate the minerals, allowing them to go to their individual factories. The white will be smelt for material, and the colorful ores will be crushed to make dyes. The smelted ore will go into a frame and sharpened to make marbles. The marbles go into a color factory, which there are a color mixer there. The 3 colors make the rest of the colors: red, yellow, lime, blue, purple. There are 9 catches, each will go into a dye to dye the marbles, except for the white one just doesn't go into a dye. After that, the marbles go into a package, with each 9 marbles, onto a minecart. A minecart may go into another factory, to collect more marbles. Once all of the factories have gone by, it will go into a rocket to send from MIKAN planet to various planets in the solar system. (The one process above is just one factory, Factory-001, we have 30-ish other factories to explore somewhere down the line) Edit: weird, my notification said that I got heart. Where's my heart?

I love the visual storytelling the other carts and factory outputs do. After having seen the entire process for the white-based marbles, including the un-dyed one on the right showing the base color, we can infer basically everything about the other factories. And when we see the drastically different patterns and how high the "Factory - ###" goes, we get an idea as to how grand and elaborate the entire facility is.

Another phenomenal show! My autistic son and I were just watching it before he went to school, and he went to school happy and amazed! Thanks again, MIKAN! ☺️

That was incredible! I love the way you used the other carts to create a sense of scale with how many other factories there were, and I loved seeing references to other marbles and marble factories within those carts.

Really great ending! Wasn't expecting this. Best part for me was 4:16 and 8:20 and what will happen if the marbles go to mars...

Wow ok showing an actual mining system is cool as hell. 2:53 Also the fact that you acknowledge that there'd be a bit of extra left from the point where the mold came off and grind it off is so cool.

Process of making marbles (or possibly more…): 1. Some ores are mined and collected in a cart. 2. The coloured ores are unloaded outside the factory. 3. The ores are filtered based on its colour upon entry. 4a. The white ores are heated up and molten into magma. 4b. The yellow, magenta and cyan ores are grounded into aqueous form. 5. The molten magma is then cooled by portions to make a cannon-shaped solid. 6. The excess areas of the solid is grinned to become a ball. There you go! The marbles are made! Time to paint it. 7. The colourful solutions mixes up with other solutions to change colours.(or don’t mix at all.) 8. The drones picks up the balls and paint the ball as same as their colours, then sort them in the tubes. 9. The marbles are boxed and packaged by bending and cutting rods. Done with the marbles! Time to deliver them! 10. The package (with red, orange, yellow, lime, cyan, blue, purple, magenta and white) is loaded into a cart. 11. The cart will load more packages coming from other factories. (In this cart, it loaded marbles from factories 1,2,3 and 27.) (The steps of making marbles with other colours are basically the same, just different colours.) (On the floor above, 1 floor of factories are used to make shining colours, the other for glowing colours.) (1 floor below, it is the section for blinking colours.) 12. After loading, the cart is ready to launch! (Hey, it’s also possible to make mikan marbles, including the combinations above, ring marbles, pulse marbles, also mixed marbles! But we don’t cover them now.) 13. Select a planet to deliver, going up, transform into a rocket, and takeoff! Now the marbles will be delivered to different marble racers to race! (and make eliminations :). Have fun!)

This was one of his best creations It's interesting how marbles are taken to different planets at the end

8:14 martians on mars be ordering marbles

The amount of implied MIKAN lore here just makes the already incredible video that much better. This factory is clearly on a different rocky body, but which is it? The factory is clearly automated and very efficient, with virtually no waste products. Who created it? What are they doing with so many marbles? Could it be that they just run an incredible number of marble races, or are there alternative uses for marbles? The capsules that turn into rockets have to be made somewhere, too. Are they *also* made of marble-matter? Is it in the same factory? Are they sent back to the factory once their delivery is complete? I feel like we're truly seeing a new MCU: a MIKAN Cinematic Universe!

I love how the white drone will wait for other drones before putting another white marble

I always assumed the colors were mass produced just as indevidual colors but to sell them as packs makes so much sense!

This is crazy - the Legend of Mikan persists in(?) our entire solar system! The hints to other races and completely alien marbles and size of the factory make this just incredible! :D

This looks like a decent midgame setup, though I don't think it'll carry you through to the lategame. You'd need to improve throughput, probably by having entire factories dedicated to the common ball types, allowing more efficient bulk processing. The most obvious bottleneck is the dying process; relying on drones to dye each ball individually is _very_ slow, and large batches of one color are much more efficient. In the mid-to-late game, you generally want a large factory dedicated to each of the eight base colors (each supplied by your central ball forming facility), which can then ship their products off to more specific sub-factories for further refinements (darkening, glow, stripes, fusion, etc.). It looks like you took your early-game build and built it up to meet the increased requirements of the mid-game, without actually rebuilding it to work on the scale you're now operating on. Which, okay, is a mistake I also make pretty frequently. But it also looks like you've copied your early-midgame hybrid base with small modifications to fit a variety of purposes, which really doesn't scale well. On a more positive note, your cart network is beautifully constructed, your routing system is clearly _exquisitely_ made, and the hybrid cart/rocket build is frankly brilliant. It's much better than anything I've made, and you've inspired me to step up my game. ... or maybe I play too much Factorio. who knows.

Awesome video as always. I love the artistic concept of marble factory :)

Mikan will never be replaced, this is god level RU-vidr.

i love how it shows the planets so you know that they also go to other planets. you continue to impress mikan.

"Bound for Mercury" got me good.

5:37 idk what is happening but really cool! keep up the great work =D

This guy be making Lore around Marbles, just because he can lol. *Amazing*

With every video, we're getting deeper into MIKAN lore and the backstory of marble races

This has gotta be the best marble factory I've seen from anyone, the amount of detail and thought put into it is incredible!

I was not expecting to see that there were a bunch of factories. This was amazing

Delivery at 8:01 on the right side is for the neverending fantastic MIKAN-WORLD. KEEP DOING! ❤🎉 PS: 8:03 really colourful and amazing marbles! (Something went wrong with the order of the planets)

Oh, Error in the production? Ooo (look at the top at 6:33, there is a white among the magenta/pink)

The factory must be gigantic, considering the number of different colors and patterns of marbles being manufactured. A tour of the factory floor would no doubt be quite interesting.

By a landslide the coolest in the series yet! Well made mikan, as usual

マーブル工場は宇宙にあったのか……😳

congrats for 1m subscribers mikan keep the spirit for making video, entertain us all

omg imagine this was an idle game. that would be so fun :O

That video describes my math exams😂🎉(VERY GOOD VIDEO)

This is not just a masterpiece. It shows creativity, love and confidence! Amazing work, Mikan !

2:11 that one white square

I just love it when it's a factory thing!

This is how algodo gets marbles, nice❤

I’m early! Wow!!! Love your vids I’m fan for long time

MIKAN, I have been your biggest fan for YEARS! Every time I feel upset or bored I pop on one of your videos and i feel so positive! Thank you for being such a big part of my childhood!

Impressive as always. Keep up the great work, MIKAN. You're an inspiration to us all.

Wow, that’s pretty cool😮😮

WOW! Words can't describe how phenomenal this whole thing is. Truly a talent; how you get the helicopter things at 4:22 to fly like that is beyond me. This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen in Algodoo. Keep up the astonishing work.

Your creativity never ceases to amaze me, Mikan, this was INCREDIBLE!!!

Super creative! I loved how there were so many references to real-life manufacturing, like with the laser/air blasts separating the blocks by color. Personally, though, I would have loved to see the package parachute down to its destination planet!

I like the way that Mikan have a very creative idea about factories. The humanoid factory was very creative too

I love this video so much and hope more people get to see it!

Sci-fi and all that. Looks awesome

I always knew marbles came from space, but they didn't believe me! Well WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?! >:D

At first, at 6:50, you're confused why the cart is so empty, and then at 7:00 the reveal happens and the grand scope of things dawns on you! Amazing!!

Bro just launched a bunch of marbles to Mars💀💀💀

You put immense work into this and I cant imagine all the planning this short simulation took 😅

So creative! Amazing as always!

Woah, this is amazing! Marble factory for every marble, basically. The designs are great too! I'm still wondering what you do with the weird random looking rainbow-thing marbles idk what to call it.

“Let’s ride the mechanism!” The mechanism in question:

Yessir! The Epic Factory Back!

The lore grows deeper with these 3rd generation marbles

4:27 the legend (red) is born!

I love how the The Marble Factory has evoled with each version

So this is how all the marbles are first born😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

Apparently the marbles are made in the void 8:20

wow we got even more lore about how marbles are acquired

Finally, Marble Lore

Oh so this is how madbles get revived by getting popped, exploded, eliminated, and slowly getting burned

“Damnit Carl, we told you to stop ordering marbles, this is getting out of hand!!!” Carl: *Obsessed marble racing noises intensifies*

This looks interesting. Great job :) also why do the premiers need to be at 3am :(

6:18 Bro got the 8 undertale human souls and one monster soul Determenation Bravery Justice Kindness Patience Integrity Perseverance FEAR =) sans

This is how marbles are made in the factory

When I watch all your videos, it's clear that you are genuinely a skilled programmer. You're not just drawing a track and letting the physics engine do the rest. There's a lot of really complex interactions happening here and I think if you ever get tired of making these videos, you are well prepared to be a programmer on almost anything else you choose :)

At 8:26 the marbles are sended to mikan's marbles race

I love the way mikan creates their videos its just so satisfying to watch

So that’s how MIKAN gets the marbles for his many videos.

after 2yrs finally a new version of marble fact.

Just from the thumbnail and I can already guess this is gonna be a sweet race. Nice one 👍🏻

I love watching factory simulations soooo much, and you nailed it!

4:44 el dron blanco es muy flojo, solo mueve una bola y se va a dormír

every new step dropped my jaw just a little bit more, the flex of skill is insane

Wow, a marble factory in an unknown place in the outer space! Amazing!

My favourite factory is factory number 27, because it has rainbow marbles cuz they're all rainbows! =)

Nice yideo to make! But The Rocket was very nice to make,probably the best video i’ve ever seen! You are the Best!

As a marble factory I can confirm this is what I do daily

Ayo new mikan lore just dropped!!

so this is where my marble collection comes from

We watch this all the time, even when it’s a school day

Your anametions are tooo good to be true ❤ (I love all of your videos)❤

Обожаю тему конвейера, а тут целый завод что отсылает мячи на испытания!

Those factories are getting more and more complex. Amazing!

Mind blown the entire way through, really impressed! also if you can, can you do a tutorial on how you got the code to have the white material melt and the cyan, magenta, and yellow material get crushed into liquid?

I live factory builds, so this was awesome for me! I especially loved the transport cart section.😊

These marbles are delivering to Mikan for next marble race

It's official, I'm saving this to a new satifying playlist

Congrats on 1million subs!

I don't how to express how amazing this video is the transitions are just sensational and I loved the ending but won't say what it was just in case this comment is seen before completing video.

I didn’t know that I needed to lore of the Mikan industrial complex, but im glad I have it now.

This is some serious sci fi stuff here and I love it

Thanks for meny marbles for us! Oh It's Delicious....

I love all the details! Especially the other carts/rockets passing by, it feels like a huge factory!

Epic marble factory its efficient fun and awesome!!!
