  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
  • Follow my journey as I build a Factorio MegaBase from Scratch, step-by-step. This is a recap of a 70-part Factorio series (link below). In this series I cover everything from start to finish and touch on all topics of the core game. Hope you enjoy!:)
    Factorio is a game about building and creating automated factories to produce items of increasing complexity, within an infinite 2D world. Use your imagination to design your factory, combine simple elements into ingenious structures, and finally protect it from the creatures who don't really like you.

    Factorio 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 Scenarios. 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 love how one of the mega modules just blends into the sea of solar xD
    Also... genuinely, this base reminds me of die shots from CPUs. The cores are actually TINY in comparison to the cache. The solar is a kind of cache, for power, and the mega modules are your cores :P
    Anyway, this is amazing! thanks for editing this together :D

    Do you think that incorporating most things into a single "mega blueprint" helped with your congestion? 5k SPM is very impressive on your train system and I assume that's down to your "mega blueprint". Did you have many issues with congestion?

    Yo Nathan! Wouldn't it be more efficient to smelt the ores at the outpost and then load the trains from there? That way the wont have to be transported by train. I'm not exactly an expert so I might be wrong, but just a thought!:)

    It was really fun to watch this Nathan. I've got 16,000 of playtime according to Steam. My biggest map runs 24 hours a day and still produces & consumes only 4ksp/m. It can go a week at a time without maintenance, but its a hige job bringing enough resources online when something starts to run low. I run vanilla, no mods. I'm nowhere near as good a designer as you but its fascinating how you can get there in different ways. I did mine primarily with trains and separated botzones. There are 1200 trains, 5000 stations and millions of bots. Even with a Factorio max optimized PC I can only get 10 or 11 FPS.... There is just too much stuff, and I like Nuclear rather than Solar as I like the complexity (and consuming all the resources on the map, haha). Train congestion is no longer an issue as I have distributed production of different products and resources all around the map. I didn't do a grid system, so my map looks very organic in comparison, and I mostly go around the lakes rather than fill them. When the TL feature came out awhile ago it took me months to change from disabling stations to TL instead. I don't use spiders to build expansions, but robots. I lay down a construction station. Then the train comes in with the parts and builds a receiver for all the parts and finished products to come in automatically. Additional robots keep getting brought online anytime there are less than 100 idle in the zone. Everything gets built automatically, (mostly) and then the trains start coming automatically. My world is enormous and hard to play... I need to ride trains and spiders everywhere with that low FPS, and work mostly in map mode. Ill lay down a few BPs in the morning to expand and rhen leave it. Mine is so inefficient compared to yours and my reciever stations are filled with vast quantities of goods gathering dust... But its fully automated and Ive been amazed at what ive been able to accomplish with the free time im blessed with and much more limited programming and design skills compared to you and some of the other guys out there. Sure love this game... I play it more than I work. And sleep... Haha... All the best

    My read of it. Smelting takes load of space. Always do it in the mines. That saves loads of space. And. Well. Stack size is larger. If you have 10 waggons of ore. That is 5 wagons of steal, iron, bricka, 1 wagon of steal or wall or 1.4 wagons of green
