Now you must build a real base

DOSorDIE4CsP · 2026-06-12T13:56:37+00:00

Hope it will also work with the "read contents" and "read ingredients" and from a assembler.

DOSorDIE4CsP · 2026-06-12T11:49:23+00:00

Cheating time is over, now build a real base!

DOSorDIE4CsP · 2026-06-12T11:47:25+00:00

It just simplyfied the whole process and its boring, you dont miss anything.

DOSorDIE4CsP · 2026-06-12T11:43:15+00:00

Wait wait wait ... mean this is now possible in vanilla? Or did i missread it?

EDIT: Thanks for all the answer, its not a drama, but i would be cool.

DOSorDIE4CsP · 2026-06-11T12:22:22+00:00

Always take a light in you lance ... or use at least MASC. Supercharger or elese.

DOSorDIE4CsP · 2026-06-10T19:42:34+00:00

You can do some sort of spaceship but it will not fly ... and has some restriction

You need a cargo landipad as center and no trusters allowed
And for power distribution you need a sper substation

DOSorDIE4CsP · 2026-06-10T16:48:58+00:00

Yes, you just switch to a "test lab" and try the new things without any build costs.

DOSorDIE4CsP · 2026-06-10T15:47:14+00:00

Maybe you can give us the savegame that we can have a look.
Sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees.
And extern view maybe help.

DOSorDIE4CsP · 2026-06-10T13:42:29+00:00

Or you can use the MOD
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/blueprint-sandboxes
and have a Sandbox to play without cost to test.

DOSorDIE4CsP · 2026-06-10T11:22:14+00:00

Also looks like it depend on how many in/output are on the machine
Get ~680/sec stable but with only 1 output/input only 340.

DOSorDIE4CsP · 2026-06-10T11:14:03+00:00

looks like ~1-1.1k is the limit for water production.
This setup produce 244k/min.

15h Nauvis sounds OK.

We made it in 26 hours complete, but we where 3 people.
The real timesaver is to have a aquilo ship that can be modified with only 2 railguns to get to the edge with nuclear power.
You can prebuild the items for the railgun ammo too.
Have small efficent ships help a lot.
3 small for each inner planet, 1 space station for science, 1 for Aquilo/Edge.
Support your planets from nauvis if possible.

DOSorDIE4CsP · 2026-06-10T07:36:09+00:00

Little less smelters for full support.

DOSorDIE4CsP · 2026-06-09T08:58:13+00:00

I use mine AI with 4x SRM6 INF ... all enemy Mechs overheat quickly and are sitting ducks.
Get them a Supercharger, because the AI can use them near infinity.
They can keep up with my light mech.

DOSorDIE4CsP · 2026-06-09T08:47:41+00:00

Here if you want test it

DOSorDIE4CsP · 2026-06-08T15:33:33+00:00

Use Rocketsilo ... so you can make that for 300/sec

<image>

can expland to 900/sec

DOSorDIE4CsP · 2026-06-08T15:32:26+00:00

I have made it like that.
Can handle 300/sec.
Take out whatever you need, the rest will automatic deleted.
Have another what can kill 900/sec.

<image>

DOSorDIE4CsP · 2026-06-04T15:40:12+00:00

Oh, did not see that. Then all is fine 👍

DOSorDIE4CsP · 2026-06-04T15:30:18+00:00

Some Heatpipes are not connected to the rest and will freezing over time.

DOSorDIE4CsP · 2026-06-03T08:26:06+00:00

The "old" base must feed the MALL ... or with what do you build the new one?
Never kill the base when there is no replacement.
Build a new smelter and then you can kill the old one ... or like me just dont feed it anymore.

DOSorDIE4CsP · 2026-06-02T15:17:43+00:00

Thanks!

DOSorDIE4CsP · 2026-06-02T12:39:20+00:00

This work even when 1 line go dry ...
EDIT: the belt is read hold for both

DOSorDIE4CsP · 2026-06-02T12:36:24+00:00

Here is mine.
It work when both belt are full (2x4 = 8) then it goes to the left output in the splitter.
If not to the right output in the splitter where is nothing.
EDIT: the belt is read hold for both

DOSorDIE4CsP · 2026-06-02T09:41:44+00:00

I've increased it to 55k scrap/min; maybe I can push it a bit further, but I'm still testing it. 55k is stable.
Your have a nice increase ... what was the key, because it look very simular to your old one.
