It would be cool to see some building trick guides. Like efficient designs on different science packs and how to easily set up a mall. Love your videos, keep up the good work 👍
Biggest use for buffer chests is that if you include buffer chests in your designs with materials used to build that blueprint then logistics bots can help bring materials closer to the build site. Normally logistics bots couldn't get involved in construction but this enables them to.
I use them instead of provider chests everywhere I can. I set request of full chest of items, but set limit for manipulators by logic to not fill chest above a half. Doing so I still can use them as provider chests, but whenever I come back to base and have exceeding items in my inventory bots will drop these items exactly to dedicated chests. This approach have two major advantages: mall doesn't overproduce items and I don't need big area of storage chests to store all of said exceeding items. The disadvantage is that it is time consuming to set all requests and limits, but having blueprints for whatever you need solves this problem.
@@frosty7269 On the birght side with 2.0 you'll be able to have the buffer and assembler both set by a logic network, so you can just stamp down a blueprint and change the constant combinator to set assembler, inserter, and buffer chest all at once.
@@frosty7269 I usually find it's a better idea to connect the inserter to the logistics network, and then set a limit based on what is present in the logistics network, so you can just duplicate machines without having buffers of items in the wrong places, and you can also make it an active provide chest, so items get removed immediately upon being built, and pushed into a better positioned storage chest, and on top of that you can construct and deconstruct those machines without having excess items overflow into storage.
Never had problem understanding him tbh, in fact, for me it's easier to understand people with thick foreign accents than people who speak English as their first language.
Some advanced insights: - When connecting inserters to logistic networks, make sure they are in logistic networks, otherwise you'll wtf for some serious time. They don't give that flashing warning like the chests. - only logistic bots can supply you or remove items from the trash slots, BUT construction bots can pick up items from your personal trash slots if that satisfies a building request.
While recording this video I had exactly that problem with inserters outside of logistic network and I was starting to consider it as a bug, until I realized what's wrong...
@@heruvim-g5r Patreon exclusive videos have been a thing on nearly every channel for a decade at this point and TH-cam has been pushing its own membership exclusive videos for a few years, it's obviously a private paywalled video that was just made public.
One other important thing is order of heirarchy with the logistic chests. Bots will first take from active provider chests, then storage or buffer chests, then passive provider chests. You can also set a requester chest to be able to request from buffer chests to fulfill logistic reauests.
Great overview! Also btw I saw a couple of your old videos a few days ago and I noticed the improvement in English made in these years, right now apart from a few words you sound pretty good, keep it up!
One of my favorite hidden gems is that copy paste has a history and works like a blueprint book. So you can scroll back through things you've copied. It's really handy for switching between components without ever needing to specifically use a blueprint.
I never knew the command to scroll through the clipboard history, but occasionally, I'd accidentally engage it, and wonder WTF I did to cause it, cause it's so cool.
"I'm still using the old version of factorio", said Trupen two months before the release :) I see you're playing the long game. In every meaning of this word.
I have a blueprint book just for deconstruction planners, because there's a few good ones. Rocks and trees only, for clearing ground. Items on ground, for a few dropped items or if you unequipped power armor with a full inventory. Building ghosts only, to remove blueprints without deconstructing other things. Everything _except_ power poles, storage, and roboports for deconstructing that doesn't mess with it's own infrastructure. You can set it to whitelist or blacklist, depending on what you need.
@@TRAINE Insert the empty barrel into a purple chest. Place a yellow chest somewhere central (your mall) and set the filter to empty barrel. Place blue chests next to assemblers that need empty barrels and give them a request for empty barrels. This assures that all empty barrels will be stored away in the yellow chests and then moved to the blue ones when needed.
Just bought the game yesterday, your videos have been a godsend explaining concepts about the game. Still cant get away from the spagehtti, but im already better than when i was playing the demo tutorial a week ago. Keen for you to drop the science video
Regarding those weird numbers when pasting recepies into requestor chests: they are "configured to request enough ingredients for 30 seconds of continuous crafting". This means otoh if you speed module them up, re-paste the requestor chests, they'll need to request more items, otherwise your assembler will run dry when continuously crafting.
Something worth mentioning is that you can put a blueprint somewhere else on the map and your bots will do it. Basically you can build your base while kilometers away
Trupen, I keep following you for years and I gotta say your videos helped me get much better at the game. As an adult casual gamer your videos allow me enjoy the game without getting the need of going too deep into figuring out ratios on my own. I just came back to factorio after over a year of not playing it and seems like I forgot quite a lot. This video is exactly what I needed. Keep them coming! Also I'm looking forward to your upcoming tutorials when Factiorio 2.0 comes out in October :). I'm not sure what the rest of your audience thinks, but for me such shorter videos are much more digestable than long 30-60min videos. I like this format much more. Quick question - considering the not so intuitive liquid mechanic, do you think using barrels for transporting crude oil through long distances could be viable/more efficient? I have an issue where i have quite a few oil fields and I simply can't get enough of it to sustain my plastic production. Dzieki za kontent staruszku ;)
Buffer chests are good to keep construction components for fix walls, for example, the construction bots can take from it, and the logistic bots will keep it filled.
You can use yellow boxes as a receiver by putting filter on it, making filter of your recipe in craft menu, summon those specific recipes, have a “exit” yellow chest with each corresponding filter. It’s automated but more manually if yo I don’t have the blue chest yet
12:42 - oh, holy crap, I think that was in an FFF at some point, but I'd completely forgotten about it! Will have to try that! _So many_ cool new QOL things in 2.0 -- to the point where I haven't even gotten Space Age yet (though I fully intend to), because I'm having too much fun playing with 2.0 stuff. :) (AND: I want to get all the base-2.0 achievements before I unlock space age, as just a personal goal.)
I trust you so much that when I saw on screen the roboport green area was 110x100 I just assumed I had been wrong for years. Then you said 110x110 and my worldview was returned to me.
I can't seem to find the science pack video that you refer to in this video on your channel? Was it removed? Very interested in how you optimize science production
Half of my factory runs on requester>crafting>passive provider>buffer(main storage). I dont care about UPS with my low latency ram and 24 core cpu. Just broke 10k legendary bots. If you care about UPS then just download a mod that increases speed, capacity and range of bots.
Best use I have found for buffer chests has been with my concrete and landfill production plant. At the entrance to the plant, I have requester chests asking for raw stone. This is so when my bots are clearing rocks, or I am tearing down an on old build that used raw stone for something, the bots will carry the stone to be fed into my concrete/landfill production line. In addition to this, the landfill itself is fed by requester chests as well. This means some of my raw stone needs to be fed into a logistics chest of some kind. I don't want the input chests to the concrete plant drawing raw stone from these chests. So in this case, I use buffer chests and then over at the landfill requestor chests, I check the box for "Request from Buffer Chests". In this way, I avoid my bots flying raw stone from the stone supply to landfill back to the start of the raw stone conveyor belts.
You also forgot to mention that contruction bots are the only way to fully automate base defences, because you can supply them with repair packs, spare walls, flamethrowers, pipes and whatever you build your walls out of, and they will repair damage and fix holes for you.
i only use bots for construction, and the item bots for easy mall, just plug a few requester chest and an assembler and we are ready to go the proper factory is fueled by the main bus is there any guide or some video that points me to a fully bot factory? wouldnt the bots hurt the ups when you have a medium base? like 10k spm
Hey, awesome video! Sorry if I'm being or sound like I'm being nitpicky or rude, but when you talk about using ctrl + Y to redo, you pronounce Y the same as the letter E. The letter Y is pronounced like the word "why", not like how it sounds in words like "happily".
I was following your tutorial series which so far is great, but this error @2:23 where you state a 110 x 100 (instead of 110 or 100 x 100, Idr now!) made me think you'll need more than 3.125 engineers to speed run Factorio 2.0 "Lost in Space." If possible, I'd like a tutorial on the best practices to how place inserters, and power poles (from the smallest to the bigger ones) before you get bots... (this is not /sk or a /jk... seriously)
Is there a way to say I want the bots to grab materials for example when below 300 and stop after there are 600? Right now they grab materials everytime the number drops below 300 so it's constant bots
Hello, master, I´m trying to use circuits to control lights, but how do I get the value of the time of night and day as condition for that purpose, I´ve tried a lot of stuff but now I humbly request guide from the gods here, what I want to do its to light all the lamps when the night comes at the same time using interruptor and also if possible to put color on them , thanks in advance for any advise you may give this noob.
I just barely got bots fully going in the Space Exploration. I miss my requester chests. I still have my sanity. For now. We'll see once I start working on space science.
I started doing purely logistic bots for moving stuff and I made them be created when I have less than 100 logistics bots available and nopw I have nearly 10k logisitcs bots and I've had to setup 10 nuclear reactors to power the roboports which I have 250 of my power capacity is 1.2GW at night which seems to be at about 80% of capacity during the night. If I go into my base I can't really see what is going on because there are bots everywhere but I don't think I've moved my character in like 20 minutes because I've just been placing and managing stuff using the map.
The problem with bots is the everything to do with petrolium. but it makes sense, you gotta pay with your last working neurons if you want to convenience of bots. Heck!
Me on my first base (which I never completed): trains sound too complicated, let's transport things just with belts and robots. Me on my second base (where I finally launched one rocket): I don't need robots, I only need more belts!
uh that's right I fixed it Here are the commands: /c game.player.force.max_successful_attempts_per_tick_per_construction_queue = 2000 /c game.player.force.max_failed_attempts_per_tick_per_construction_queue = 2000
You say that Spidertrons are great for building without moving the engineer, but don't you still have to manually move the spidertrons? Sure it's clicking on the map rather than using WASD, but isn't that still too manual? It's just easier to queue up a conga-line of roboports, and then you can be comfortable knowing that they will eventually get built and you don't need to watch the construction to know when to recall or restock the spiders. They're also permanent, so making changes to the outpost can be done as easily as with the main base rather than needing to send back the spidertrons.
For smaller bases it's fine to go with just bots but in bigger bases you don't always have everything connected with bots, so spidertrons are a good way to build
Not sure if it was said but let me scream it to the heavens to help lost souls on their journey: SHIFT + SCROLLING IN PASTE MODE WILL SCROLL THROUGH THE LAST THINGS YOU COPIED SO YOU CAN PASTE THEM AGAIN

You say that Spidertrons are great for building without moving the engineer, but don't you still have to manually move the spidertrons? Sure it's clicking on the map rather than using WASD, but isn't that still too manual?
It's just easier to queue up a conga-line of roboports, and then you can be comfortable knowing that they will eventually get built and you don't need to watch the construction to know when to recall or restock the spiders. They're also permanent, so making changes to the outpost can be done as easily as with the main base rather than needing to send back the spidertrons.
For smaller bases it's fine to go with just bots but in bigger bases you don't always have everything connected with bots, so spidertrons are a good way to build

Not sure if it was said but let me scream it to the heavens to help lost souls on their journey:
SHIFT + SCROLLING IN PASTE MODE WILL SCROLL THROUGH THE LAST THINGS YOU COPIED SO YOU CAN PASTE THEM AGAIN
Hey, would you be interested in trying out a mod? Is called 'Turret Priority Filter' 😉
Can you imagine how much better minecraft would be with construction and logistic robots? Easily the worst parts of minecraft would be solved by these.
it's very hard to use construction bots in 3d games :/
