So what do you guys do with all the sand in late game?

Too much stone from uranium processing as well as sand from imersite crushing has clogged up my system. Need some pro tips please.

Rule of thumb: chain in, rail out.

Put a chain signal before a merge/split, and rail signal after the merge/split. If you have many intersections in close proximity to one another (within the length of one of your trains for example), use chain signals in the middle all the way to the last ...

So far i am enjoying K2. My first major mod for factorio. About to start oil refining. All green tech sciences have been researched. Wish me luck haha.

Dunno what you mean bud.

Seems any feedback on this has come and gone.

Boy oh boy. Wait till you start training in ore to your smelting arrays. Then its more an issue of how many trains can i stack in this amount of space. This is more fun to me.

For lazy bastard you dont want to be rushed. So rather not try it with a spoon run.

Shoot the thing your pointing to. A green healthbar is quite visible. Obviously with an smg or pistol. Not nukes or rockets haha. Then repair afterwards.

Not bad bud. Congrats.

I restarted 4 times on the same map before i got it done. Was fun.

Copper, mind sharing your blueprint in the meantime? I cant wait any longer, i need to know how how how...

haha..

Yeah, i tried a setup that allows for water around the pumps as per requirements, but in my best effort design it increases my heat pipes a few pipes extra, which is enough to drop 2 more heat exchangers out of production when running for a while. So essentially almost 15MW loss per side ...

Congrats Copper.

Looking forward to seeing your design, especially how you managed water input.

I had a base tour of ColonelSandersLite's plant. Man it is impressive. Well deserved reward.

Mike will you showcase the winning design on YT?

I must confess. These bases look far better than probably my 20th, and even then i haven't launched a rocket yet.

Fond memories though.

Now i wish i looked at it to see what the mistake was. lol

Dude. Why do you want to ruin the competition now for others?

All good bro. Keen to see the winning design. Will definately see something magical come from it.

Keep up the good fight gents.

Will this do?


But alas, i have landfilled over my pumps. Yet, multistage blueprint book thats easy to follow. Savegame available as well.

Let me know. Still keen to compete in this. It is much fun.

You have to keep the offshore pumps in the water (I can't build offshore pumps directly from blueprints, so i have to place the 3x2 water to accomodate each offshore pump manually, this should be possible WITHOUT deleting/moving other parts of your setup.


Yeah i made a blueprint for landfill ...

Man oh man.

Been racking my brain to get a working setup. I tested 6 different setups with various heat exchanger/turbine configurations, none capable of sustaining anything above 230MW. I either get water supply issues to my heat exchangers, or steam flow to turbines being hampered.

3 pipes ...
