Re: My first completed free play
Nice base! You could have a two-way rail system you know, with proper stations so you don't have to build one for each mine. Also the bottleneck between cable and circuit assemblers is pretty obvious even with blue belt. Since exactly 2 cable assemblers feed one circuit assembler, you can have inser...

Re: My ~35 hour base
Nice base. So all the items in your actual production line are transported by logistic bots? yup. My old base was in the north. You can sort of see it in the map. After moving and setting up the big science factory I just gave up optimizing belt based factories coz that's just too much trouble. Plu...

Re: My ~35 hour base
Part of that goes into my science factory
The rest goes to the actual production lines

You can try to cut another row from it but this is pretty compact:

Re: Belt Spaghetti (my first real 'base')
Heh, I was thinking about making a kind of similar post with a section of my first oil-based factory. It is by now a complete chaos, and I love every bolt of it. This first spaghetti factory was at the end able to build robots on automatic, so my next step was to build a hightech 'von NeuMann' fact...

Re: Belt Spaghetti (my first real 'base')
a water pump can support up to 10 steam engines. Your one-engine one-pump set up is wasting valuable waterfront property!

Compact science 1-3 factory 0.75/s with minimal dirty tricks
It was mostly inspired by topaz's and sparr's factories in this thread: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2600 The purpose was not to have the most compact factory, but to use only a very limited set of tricks so the resulting factory can look normal and easy to build without...

Re: Flask production Tier 1 and Tier 2
I think you have an issue with the pack 3 plants in the bottom right. I think you did not connect the under belt to transport the circuits and batteries. Oh, hmm. It was definitely connected shortly before taking the screenshot. Sorry about that. Looks like there's more than enough space to fix it,...

Re: Flask production Tier 1 and Tier 2
I think this is very good, I will take some ideas out from here.Bbut too big. With modules etc, I think about a half or 2/3 of the production is normally enough, especially the blues are really not needed in that amounts. I've calculated that through anywhere else: with the number of assemblies, yo...

Re: Some (maybe) useful tools for factory design
Ha, much better. Is it possible to keep "fork" while turning off "merge"? I don't have anything against forks. PS: I noticed that Coal input node is rather hidden. It sure makes the graph more compact, but on the other hand it allows such input to be missed. I wonder if it would...

Re: Some (maybe) useful tools for factory design
What is the attached graph actually about? You chose a pack of things to be made in a fixed ratio? It would IMO really improve the appearance if you could get rid of that big output node and get outputs separated. Also - why the... fractions? Percentages? Why does 0.00<unit> go to the output from t...

[outdated] Some (maybe) useful tools for factory design
I find it a lot of fun to optimize factories, so here is some tools to help with that. 1. factorio.py is a script to convert recipes into flowchart using graphviz. Recipes are entered into a table like factorio.csv, where 1st column is the product, 2nd column is the efficiency modifier (blue assembl...

Re: Science Packs 1 - 4 Factory
nice I also don't really strive for compact. I love a nice sprawling factory with crazy conveyer belts, especially since I have only put it maybe 20 hours so far. That's what makes this such great fun you can have any design you like. Compactness is one thing, but I think OP's design doesn't have t...
