I did a very similar design, but not that expendable. But its still modular. BTW: where did you get water? https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/850474043000061778/5BA67ED2729EF50A57B2CE37970A2FA3C58FB2AE/ https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/850474043000062574/126CB5FE0423B8E0C33479C8200...

Im really struggling with belt, since since is much more expensive. 2 Paired belts of T3, Military, Production and High Tech Science is so expensive. It didnt make much on late game. But having 20k Iron in form of sciencepacks confince me of using robots instead.

I tried this independently.



Layout can be stacked 4 times with the 4 lanes each copper/iron.

Actually im search for a map with less trees to start with. I want to have lots of bitters at the beginning of the game. Otherwise its boring. (Trees are OP.) So someone having a mostly treeless mapstring? Or maybe someone knows how to manupilate the terrain generator to spawn less trees... Plz PS: ...

This screenshot looks beautifull. What terrainmod are you using?

Some options for map generation doesnt work properly: Choosing "Water" generated in "only starting area", doesnt work. It just generate small waterlakes everywhere. Here is a screenshot with it: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=723613760 Also "Terrain se...

yes, but in real its ~ 25 or less cause, the lack of compression

To get full cocmpression on a single blue belt you need to use a splitter to combine 2 into 1 if you are loading it with inserters

thx

Can't you just use combinators to calculate the amount of (empty) barrels needed at the outpost ?

im not sure, keep in mint that this station is used by multiple trains and outposts.

btw: even with 4 outpost there is no problem with this system.

Expressbelts take lots of ressources and they are not nessessary everywhere. Also replacing takes time.

wtf is this`?

Wow, that looks really nice :) May I ask how you "start" a factory like this one? I don't suppose you start with this blueprint right away, since you'd have to walk huge distances and might not know how much space you'll need later. Do you first build a basic base and then when you have a...

thx, but im a vanilla guy. so i guess there is not such thing in vanilla

Im searching for a mechanism/layout that automaticly refill my contruction bots in my outpost. Im losing this guys often. And i want 50 of them in each outpost.

Any ideas?

The weakest point at this kind of layout are the outpost. Especialy the close ones. For example i lost 20 repairbots in a single attack wave. Atm i dont know a mechanism to autorefill the repairbots.
2. Problem Biters like to eat my large electric pole between my outpost.

Yes the rail loops are not good. how do u fix it?

The problem is that the blue belt has small gaps that cant be filled and this gaps reduce the items/s. So not every furnance is running at full speed. Average 21 are running. Theoretic maximum is 26. The reason why i dont use productivity on green cpu is, i need them for solar. If everything is runn...

I optimized my designs. Here it is: https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/1977/ng2ar62lp9ol7ke6g.jpg Map: https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/bc1e/3rlv9p3fwfdtre62g.jpg https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/3e9c/f6s681y8s1sc0cw6g.jpg https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/a938/16adu2mquk9za6e6g.jpg https://www.med...

Biter attacks depends on the pollution absorbed by biter nest. Trees and surface also absorbe but cant attack. So desert with almost no trees and normal or small starting area is best. I regulary get 100+ attacks after 1 hour. This is how a large attack looks: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f...

The train only sees signal right from him.
