theorycrafting on what makes a satellite factory not an outp

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnyTt0I81_Q
most basic difference is whether you are just shipping raw materials to the factory or if you are processing it before shipping intermediate/finished products. i talk about it in the video.

Re: i made an optimal lab setup for 0.15

Hi Troytech, your layout gave me an idea (slightly modified) (i don't like zig-zagging power lines). though this is more expensive of an option (more underground belts) and requires medium power poles (yours looks to work with the starting poles).

i made an optimal lab setup for 0.15

i made a youtube video about it.

Re: thermostat maybe?

It's possible with advanced combinator strats. If you pump 1 tick of 100 degree fluid through a small pump into a steam engine, it will produce enough energy to run a combinator for 2550 ticks. Store the energy in an accumulator. Use an arithmetic combinator adding 1 to itself, and you can measure ...
