Let's see your clever builds
Re: Let's see your clever builds
Hi! I'm new here and love factorio. Here is one of my recent cool finds:
You can run pipe and boilers in the same line! Not sure its actually useful, but its cool

Re: Let's see your clever builds
So wasteful! Underground pipes are very expencive for such small gaps. But you can turn inserters on 90 degree so they will transfer coal across the lines of boilers, not along them.
Re: Let's see your clever builds
I need to try that. This is a col way of feeding coal, when this works - as hitzu said - works sideways.
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.

Re: Let's see your clever builds
Yup, it's working just fine (good idea guys). Only boilers stack can't be too hight because to feed boilers on top, inserters take fuel from boilers below.

Re: Let's see your clever builds
Yes it definitely also works just hopping from boiler to boiler with pipes in between Just thought it was extra cool that you could have them running in the same line with a long armed inserter. And sometimes cool, fun or pretty trumps wasteful As long as it still works of course. Pretty's worth nothing if it doesnt work anymore.

Re: Let's see your clever builds
This has probably been done before, but I was quite proud of this little manufactury. It started with a simple idea "I want my pipe and underground pipe to be close together, but not in the same chest" and I managed to get them side by side. It wasn't difficult to figure out, so I'm probably not the first to do it this way. Just thought I'd share.
EDIT: After a little tinkering, I've been able to get this all to fit into a single Medium Pole with the chests still close together.
First, simply move the middle inserter one tile across, extending the Iron input by one as well
Second, grab the left inserter and put it in the (currently) empty spot. Turn it to the right, put it down there and you're good go. Don't get rid of the chest above it.
Third, move the top inserter down one, place the chest right next to it and voilà. It's all snugly inside the Medium Pole.

I'd like to introduce a tileable blue science build using only burner inserters. This is for you, Gepwin

but why burner inserters? aren't they only useful for gun turrets and boilers?MadZuri wrote:I'd like to introduce a tileable blue science build using only burner inserters. This is for you, Gepwin

Re: Let's see your clever builds
Also of note, if you don't want to use underground belts, you can use boilers to filter out fuel from a mixed line. No power needed.
Re: Let's see your clever builds
That is an amazing idea. Thank you, I have been racking my brain trying to think of how to do this with no smart inserters.MadZuri wrote:Also of note, if you don't want to use underground belts, you can use boilers to filter out fuel from a mixed line. No power needed.

Hi everyone! Here i built factory for the production of productivity modules lev.2

Re: Let's see your clever builds
Well that's different. Not often you see production of oil products integrated into the layout with those using them.
Re: Let's see your clever builds
Hi, a small and simple Solution for Transporting Oil with Robots:
Setup:
Requester chest, i usually request 10-40 barrels
Active Provider Chest
A Storage Tank as buffer (too big^^)
and a Assembly Machine
The idea behind it is to Transport the Full and Empty Barrels with the Logistic System, so no need to pull trough the whole map or making train Stations for the Oil Plants.
The bad thing about it, its only usable when a big Roboport Network is inplace...
[Data: 7k Robots, 357 Roboports installed, so its works fine for me ]
Edit: Changed the Picture

Re: Let's see your clever builds
Hi everyone! Few more factories.
Main idea is compact and balanced design.
Also all factories consume only iron plate and copper plate (resources are moving on a transport belt)

Kalabint: what program makes this GPU temp overlay?
Re: Let's see your clever builds
Thanks because some asshole claimed it was EVGA precision overlay, but i have EVGA precision and overlay is completely different! Thanks i'll give it a try today.Neotix wrote:HWiNFO
Re: Let's see your clever builds
This overlay is from RivaTuner. It is also used by MSI Afterburner and other programs.
Here's a link that shows how you can use RivaTuner's OSD with data from Afterburner and Hwinfo: link
So if you say the dude saying it's from Precision is an a-hole then...... as it's strictly not Precision, Hwinfo, Afterburner, etc.
Edit: oh and this is what I get when I image-search for evga porecision overlay":
Looks like RivaTuner to me.

Hello, yes its MSI Afterburner.
