After playing a bit on the map I could really say that it was close to get to rocket defense (a second version would have probably raised the episodes to over 100). Even I ripped down nearly every module production, iron is the biggest problem (even I already get the half of the iron field in the we...

no, i'm not going ot post them again here. Took me freaking ages to format them for reddit :twisted: Just two minutes of work and the magic of search an replace ;) Episode 1 Episode 2 Episode 3 Episode 4 Episode 5 Episode 6 Episode 7 Episode 8 Episode 9 Episode 10 Episode 11 Episode 12 Episode 13 E...

Because this is the internet, and not face to face, it is difficult sometimes (or a lot of the time) to distinguish between something that is helpful, a joke, or an insult or negativity, sense we can't actually see the emotion and tone behind it. This is the main problem. In real life you would kno...

@infectum: It has nothing to do with a limit. It is just... : You are such a positive guy who tries to give his best. It doesn't matter how bad the factory is, you bring the sunshine back to it. This is a real compliment and a kind of opposite to me. You make mistakes or also have no clou why someth...

@xterminator: Yeah, it is an extremely boring episode Perhaps it sounds mean, but it's not really meant to be. It is just the same story with you over and over again: Apparently you still didn't learn to use belts, splitters and balancers. A whole episode with an improvement of little over zero. Why...

New episode is live here: http://youtu.be/DRbw2ohOPaI Feels like "Alex's Slowrun Weak Mode #79" ;) What If you had taken out the already delivered but in your setup not more needed circuits the waiting for inserters would have been much shorter. Logistic system will be very happy about yo...

It is obvious that PharAway is more the combat guy ;) Why do you run somewhere to see if turrets are active? Just watch the map! Manual installation of solar. Did you see the series yourself? How do you get the idea that these things aren't automated yet? If a blueprint is missing... you knew how to...

Nice prank ;) (Do you will play after Fish the next time again or will you switch places again? Because then he wouldn't be within your two episodes..) The second line could be extended fully to the splitter of the balancer. Without it it could get a traffic jam on one line of the belt before it is ...

But now the next episode has to be the stinking fish instead of the sinking fish you had before. Because uuuuh. All that fish that was out it the sun for days must be smelling like hell. Do biters like the smell of stinking fish? Hope so ;) :lol: Additional spoiling-comment: To work against its shor...

Perhaps I found the misunderstanding. Examples: "If 100 items go into a splitter, I want 50 items on the left output belt and 50 items on the right output belt" = The belts are balanced (that's what I am talking about) "if 75 items on the left line and 25 items on the right line (on o...

You agree that it had no effect, right? But you also say that it was not already balanced?
Can you resolve that contradiction? I don't understand your point. What am I missing?

So what was wrong about my graphical comment that the new splitter had no effect?

@martc: Never heared of infectums "drive it around the block to make it more"-trick?

Definitely coming off a bit caustic there JL. Also, neither of those belts in the pics is actually balanced, they're just resistant to overflow on one of the sides. The belts are not balanced? Really? What is the definition of balanced belts for you? Try to count the items on the four upgoing tiles...

@xterminator: Deconstruction planer (bonus: leave it in the place of the toolbelt where it is set to be ;) ) Fast corners (ok, at the end you found two of them) Laser turrets Oil barrels for oil storage (ok, the production of barrels could give some trouble now that iron is so short) 12:40 is hard t...

Who said that you need a line of roboports to protect an outpost? Alex did it, Infectum said it, ... :shock: :shock: :shock: Take one roboport, put 50 construction robots in it, set a storage chest in the area, put 2-3 stacks of walls and repair packs in it, done!

@pharaway: You also waste capsules by overflowing the maximum follower count Instead of just adding miners at the border of the field, the earnings would improve much longer by moving the middle miners and adding one there. Then the existing (and rebuilded) miner has still 25 oretiles and new one to...

Yeah post 500 :mrgreen: Serious question: Does anyone know where to find a good "walkthrough" of making yt-videos? yt itself seems a bit shitty about explaining how to do it and that it's possible with a whole bunch of adobe programs is clear, but how does it the ordinary factorio ytber? I...

Hmm? What could be spoiling? (And nearly everything of it happens from 15 min on.. :roll: sorry, but that was funny :lol: ) So there is nothing left that could be a todo-help-spoiler for other players The only unsolved problems are: Protection (but that seems to not have a high priority in the hydra...
