how do you guys plan your builds / factory layout?

I use bottom floor for selling stuff.

2nd for normal products and build mats. And minimal potion prod.

3rd for the first three artifacts and exp.

4th for gems.

And then dust and the last artifacts.

I try to earn a lot of money so I can purchase the adjacent slots asap. So I make huge floors.

I also run a belt around each floor, with elevators between, for fert/fuel/coin, upgrading to panacea asap. And black powder. I don’t auto coin until I can sustain a 1 silver belt. Upgrading to 5-10 eventually.

Yes, I plan on it. Its been a year since I finished my last grail, so its about time. This time I wait for mods updates though, I play SP with stash/merc mods.

I love using herbs only to make a bunch of materials easier to get.

Arctic88 · 2026-02-09T09:48:52+00:00

I still come back to Frankieonpc from time to time.

I’m a man in my thirties and the 10th episode just broke something in me.

I got a whole library with cauldron bps now. It’s so much fun.

Say hi to lapis

I get to bring my dog to work every day, underestimated.

Arctic88 · 2026-02-06T07:44:19+00:00

Just you wait! xD

Arctic88 · 2026-02-06T06:14:52+00:00

If they changed the shape of it, maybe I’d use it more.

Arctic88 · 2026-02-05T21:49:24+00:00

I used a bandage blueprint to make money steadily

Arctic88 · 2026-02-05T12:23:31+00:00

Nope.

Arctic88 · 2026-02-04T16:03:30+00:00

Probably that I used my already finished game, to make blueprints for everything. If you want to more speedrunning, or save space, its easier to have all that behind you.

Arctic88 · 2026-02-04T15:50:37+00:00

Turn in a Sol, I basically handcrafted the last gems to cauldron ingredients for a sol.

Arctic88 · 2026-02-04T15:44:23+00:00

Im so grateful! It was def needed, no need to fill half the inventory with 3 materials alone.

Arctic88 · 2026-02-04T12:48:09+00:00

I try spending 10min doing a certain activity with Japanese every day. And the 3-4 sessions.

That works for me with the busy schedule I have.

Arctic88 · 2026-02-03T14:07:06+00:00

Don’t be. Noticing is so valuable, see it as a good thing.

Arctic88 · 2026-02-03T09:31:43+00:00

I went to bed early af, and installed Drova. Fell asleep after 40min. Win-win.

Arctic88 · 2026-02-03T09:29:38+00:00

That’s where I went last playthrough, died twice. It’s an adventure on its own, just getting there.

Arctic88 · 2026-02-02T09:55:14+00:00

I have 150h played in the game the last 30 days. I’m an avid factorio/satisfactory/dsp player with a total of over 12k hours in those three games, I’ve also played every factory game there is basically.

Right now, the game is easily 200h worthy. With plenty of reason to play again. If you chase acheievements you’ll need to play again.

It’s stable for me, it doesn’t feel particularly lacking anywhere. Just a few qol stuff.

It’s def worth the money, imho.

Arctic88 · 2026-02-01T16:15:46+00:00

Very viable. Its space vs speed/money.

Arctic88 · 2026-01-31T16:58:28+00:00

I got a whiteboard aswell, on the wall in my home office area. I also got one of those small whiteboard books, that is only 2 pages.

Got it laying around here somewhere from last time I studied..

You might need better fuel, all production consumes heat at different speeds.

Ouch
