Pure robots

Post by darkzangel »

Here is my base :)

I went 100% robot everywhere I could. There is no conveyor belt except at mining outpost. I fell like this is a truly scalable design. I got 626 logistic robots and about 100+ constructions robot. I don't have huge train station, but it's have been enough so far ;) Tell me what you think :)

Why do you have belts at the outpost?

Well, it's hard to really see something, because the screenshots are so small. Still nice thing you did there. ;)

(Yeah, robots are nice, but I prefer using belts for the high-troughput things. ^^

I have found just 2 assembly machines is enough to supply 4 green pack machines and 6 blue pack machines. When combined with 2 red pack machines, this is enough to keep 16 labs fully supplied.

Unless you are using a mod like dytech, does your level of manufacturing actually do much for research time?

Looks good! Up your red circuit limit from 500 to 5k or 10k and add furnaces to deal with the copper plate shortage. :)

Hi thankx for the great response :)

As for the science pack, they have been finish long time ago.

I'm not sure what to do next... Increase furnace is probably the next thing, but I need more space. I'm thinking maybe a dedicated space for smelting with train... I don't know..
Why do you have belts at the outpost?
That was a good question... and I actually converted all my outpost to robot only too. So now, there is no belt anywhere on my map I have no intention to go back. It is so much better! You want to increase the production of something? Just copy and paste and there you go! No weird belt contraption.

Here is one of the outpost, except that I now use passive and requester chest. Requester chest make is so the robot distribute equally the resource between the chest where as storage chest try to fill one chest at a time.
Also, this is so easy because I only need two blueprints and I can paste everything in place, even the mining drill. I use about 50 logistics robots per outpost.

You might try a beacon for your next smelting setup.

But the question is, spacesloth, with which modules?

Nice setup, using robots for everything can get out of hand though.

This is what happens when you have too many robots:

IDK, just fun to use a beacon! :lol:

I think I would run with a level 3 speed and a level 3 efficiency.
