Factorio Forums

Forum, forgive me, for I have sinned. In response to a few little problems on my bus I created the following design:
I am pretty sure this was not the best solution but I'm keeping it

That's some delicious spaghetti.

Still hoping I'm not the only one with some guilty factorio moments they're willing to share.... here is a nice steaming plate of spaghetti from my new campaign:

I swear I am not just doing it to make a big mess and show off, all this stuff has a purpose (or did when I placed it).

BTW: notice the stray copper plate? I guess messy is as messy does. I suspect this was the result of a (since corrected) underground belt slurping up items from a neighboring terminal conveyor line which I thought I'd cleaned up.

here is a petrochem oil build. making about 170 plastic per minute and lub. and its only about 50% complete as i still need to do rocket fuel and process some other byproducts. i saw have some more angels mods spaghetti i can share

The plate to the east of that Substation? Naw, that's being moved by an Inserter in that frame, just looks like it's on that belt, but it's not.

Welcome to my first base I ever made in the full version of the game (played the demo a bit first): Spaghetti central! (Kudos if you can spot the belt and inserter-foo I did for my Defender capsule production near the bottom)

Yaay! At last, the ranks of the autoabsolved begin to swell

Well spotted, right you are. I was wondering why everything seemed to be in order when I went to clean it up.

First attempt at a circuits module for Bob's Mods modular base. I'm not entirely sure why I started making batteries here xD but I have since torn it all down in favour of a much neater setup.

trying a big buffer(312K) for my .12 train bus based factory... god i was quite stoned that day




then i got mad and did this,

Ah, buffers, should have thought of that. Here is the result of a poorly thought-out decision to mine out some inconveniently located large ore patches in a vanilla campaign into isolated logistic storage. Originally I thought I would move the storage. Once it became clear this was not going to work, I decided to knowingly forge ahead into logistic disaster, mostly for shits and giggles, and as a possible pedantic example of why buffering is not an efficient approach to factorio gameplay. Here's the result, somewhere past the 50% mark but far from finished: Due to the ore density in the patches, the storage has wound up consuming far more space than the original ore patches I was trying to eliminate.

I feel so dirty... Outpost for building top tier production machines and mining drills. This is about half of it.

This is heart of my base.

The first base I ever made.

With a mix of single and double-track railways, belt spaghetti everywhere and some pipe madness.

I made a similar tread some time ago
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=18130&p=163260

I always loved to try to fit a new belt removing the minimun possible of what's being built already. And for one special game, I forced to make entities assembly far apart from each level of it's production chain, while forcing to not have a main bus. I was really tired of the other very organized playthrough that was feeling like work.






This is the map of the base:






I have another base, where I just didn't launch the rocket due to a mod incompatiblity, where I kept the rule of not deleting anything if I could still find a way. All transport by belts of course.... Also I kept any splitter that I've put trying to sort things out. And tried not to repeat the layout of the assembly machines. Including whenever I had to expand the furnaces, like the cooper ore:


Before

After




Here's a big SS of most of the base, I call this the spaghetti master challenge.

I can do a clean no spoon run, but then I tried Bobs/angels mods at the same time...

A No Spoon run with Bob's mods and Angel's mods? That's pretty ambitious, and very impressive if you can pull it off. I've been playing for 34 hours in a Bobs Angels world and I still don't even have plastic (I've been building big, and big builds take a while, but a speedrun with those mods is still quite an impressive feat).

Armok have mercy on my soul

First game .15 marathon. All the ratios are off and I had no feeling for the new tech yet, so I figured I would give up on the OCD and go full main bus spaghetti on my first run...



Above the bus are the science packs, below is support (starting out with circuits, but now also engines, batteries, modules, pumpjacks, and electric furnaces...
The bus started out pretty neat, but as I discovered more "long distance dependencies" (ie the use of assembly plants and engines in science packs) more crosslinks were built wherever they would fit...
