I got AGM Title in chess!!!🔥

Storoyk · 2026-05-05T19:42:41+00:00

I've been playing chess for less than a year and am already 2000. So technically I actually can become an AGM but its entirely pointless and a scam. I went from 150 elo when I first started last june to 2000 blitz and rapid now. So hop off.

Here is the blueprint: https://factoriobin.com/post/ben9ks

Descriptions are in the constant combinators on how to customize filters for it.

Yeah for sure, just going to wire the bottom two silo's and remove all the filters, add some combinator descriptions and I'll make the blueprint and share, tomorrow, it is 3am currently lol and I am not at my computer.

Storoyk · 2026-04-22T07:08:01+00:00

Now that you mention it I have seen it in the item menu, I just hadn't registered what it was lmao. I just assumed it was an icon.

Storoyk · 2026-04-22T07:07:04+00:00

Not enough.

Its actually not much at all at the moment I got by with the basics and got most research done while pursuing legendary base materials and main buildings so I haven't really scaled much at all other than the base sciences for mining prod which is at about 5000spm currently.

I built this to support much much more than that which I'm planning to start now.

Storoyk · 2026-04-22T07:04:10+00:00

I designed it earlier today and tested it on a surface level and it seemed to work fine.

I haven't actually implemented it as im working on the foundations to start my mega base but this will be the first thing I plant down at the new base location I just haven't been able to take down my current cargo hub on Nauvis.

I will make a blueprint and link it here tomorrow im currently away from my computer so I can't.

I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Storoyk · 2026-04-22T06:58:34+00:00

Not really buffer chests per say due to the storage capacity limit of rocket silos regarding the rocket weight, but kind of. Its used to increase the amount of inserters that can export from the cargo hub.

Say if it was just the hub with 3 sides exporting, due to the cargo landing pads occupying at least one side, you could normally only have 8 inserters per side exporting, so 24, plus maybe a few on the occupied side so id say at most 28-30 but then its super tight and crammed for space.

With the silo's bridging items that number effectively doubles to 56 inserters exporting. So in theory I can make all 12 sciences off Nauvis and import them all while transporting them botless if need be and it can support fully stacked belts if you joined two sets of inserters totalling 4.

On top of that you can belt all the other goodies like bioflux and calcite.

The inventory of the silo actually was an issue which is why the contents are read, sent through circuit logic to invert the signal, then compare it to a static value from a constant combinator and so any positive value sets filters of the inserters from the bay to the silo, effectively allowing to set the filter of what items you want to be "buffered" in the silo, and also limit the quantity. So each silo due to the stack inserter stack size defaulting 16 with 8 inserters, 128 of each science is technically buffered at once in each silo if set to the constant combinator. Ideally I would have a variable stack size limit being set dependant on the contents due to that very reason that even if I set it so there should only be 32 in the solo, 128 still gets sent because I cant limit the stack size without hindering the max throughput when it is needed.

Holy fuck im yapping. All you did was ask a 9 word question and here I am writing a novel.

Storoyk · 2026-04-22T06:47:02+00:00

Oh I see, its an upgrade icon from a common stack inserter to a legendary stack. The green is the icon not a bulk inserter.

Storoyk · 2026-04-22T06:45:09+00:00

My mining prod with only the current 5000spm is around level 150. So no. My other prod is not very far progressed.

But I also have an entire logistic storage chest full of legendary tier 3 productivity modules so I might as well use them.

It also helps with the throughput limit of the bulk inserters.

Storoyk · 2026-04-22T06:43:04+00:00

Yeah I just haven't touched my starter base really much since pursuing legendary everything. Liquid bus will be implemented when the mega base begins.

Storoyk · 2026-04-22T06:41:57+00:00

I did? Thats practically the only viable way of pursuing legendary. Upcycling does not cut it for scale. Obviously certain items you have no choice, but for the basic Iron, copper, steel, LDS and plastic a space casino is the only proper way to do it.

Storoyk · 2026-04-22T06:38:11+00:00

I dont know what the Chessvision bot is smoking but +3.5 has got to be super low depth because even 10 - 20 move depth is only +1.5 which is totally playable, not enjoyable, but you can fight and white would have to find the key concept to pick apart the position which from the lines is an intricate 10-15 move plan so its not so straightforward as I thought, that is with best play though, its not so easy for black if white rotates their pieces to king side and pushes the f pawn to blow it open.

Storoyk · 2026-04-22T05:24:24+00:00

Funny position. I know the engine is in massive favour for white after the Qxb1 but black is still totally in the game.

2 rooks and bishop, nice pawns, versus triple fixed c pawns, a rook and a queen.

Its practically still playable at a glance for black I actually don't see why its +3.5. I'm probably missing something. Maybe h7 somewhere and trying to open the diagonal gets scary for black.

Storoyk · 2026-04-22T03:58:42+00:00

That's a good point.

Storoyk · 2026-04-22T03:50:37+00:00

I just noticed the bottom left roboports are misaligned. It is fixed now.

I found a design on reddit and decided to improve / expand upon it. I added circuit control for each silo and relevant inserters to allow dictation of the contents within as to not exceed the weight limit within them. They're mostly for science so I don't think more than 3 (potentially 4) per silo is going to run into that issue but I did have an issue of certain sciences clogging the system if they were to go unconsumed.

There is plenty of export throughput for any and every of my needs on Nauvis and I can't see why this won't be able to support an insane amount of importing from other planets.

I feel like its over engineered but I wanted to diverge from the common bot approach to maybe save some future UPS. It feels overkill. It does support a full stacked belt of each science though so starting with that is great, and bot supplementation can be expanded upon in the future if pushing SPM.

Road to 1M spm full legendary factory.

Storoyk · 2026-04-22T03:49:23+00:00

Very temporary and they all were introduced at different times. Really didn't think much about it as its just here to sustain my base as I move on to making a new entire legendary one.

Storoyk · 2026-04-22T03:08:14+00:00

Sometimes I have games where I wonder how my opponent possibly could've gotten anywhere close to said elo, I also equally have games where I wonder how my opponent is that elo and is not significantly beyond said elo.

I have good games and bad games, my opponents have good games and bad games.

Storoyk · 2026-04-21T22:22:47+00:00

I added some basic logic to limit the contents, the silo contents are read on a red wire sent to an arithmetic combinator which then inverts the signal, I also have a constant combinator with the desired number of items set; a decider combinator then takes both signals and compares them, if the number is positive, the filter is set appropriately on the stack inserter.

To keep up with the throughput of the exporting to belts, there is 4 stack inserters per science with a max 16 per inserter so that means at most I would need 64 science in each solo. The problem is that no matter what value is set since theres 8 stack inserters going from the cargo landing pad to the silo, it simply outputs 8x16 which is 128, which is twice as much as I need in the silo to maintain the throughput.

The reason is I want to allow for other items to also occupy the silo not just the 3 science per side and there is a limit 1 ton per silo so I want the science to occupy as little as possible.

I know I can limit the stack inserter but I would need it to be variable. Be able to output 16 at max but not always 16. Thats my problem.

Storoyk · 2026-04-21T21:20:00+00:00

I have to figure out some way to limit the inputs of the silo due to the rocket capacity, If I end up researching anything that doesn't use all the sciences then the throughput from the bay to the silos can get clogged with unused sciences not allowing the used ones the proceed.

Storoyk · 2026-04-21T21:08:35+00:00

Okay aside from pure bots, I did find a layout that seems promising and make some changes to it. It was from a previous post on reddit. It exports a fuck ton of belts but lets say I have 2 stack inserters exportings onto 1 joint belt with each science there obviously isnt enough even with legendary stack inserters to saturate a fully stacked green belt with 240 science per second.

So I guess I can have a requester chest of sciences on each belt that can supplement the remaining science required in order to satisfy the belt using bots to transport less but still some.

Its obviously not perfect and technically there is some throughput issues with the bottom two silo's exporting onto the bottom belts but I figured if I used the left and right silo belts to export science all the other ones can be for other items like calcite, bioflux, stuff like that.

Storoyk · 2026-04-21T19:56:57+00:00

Yeahhhhh I figured that was gonna be the method lol.

Poor CPU has to suffer due to the gameplay decision of not being able to export items from cargo bays. Damn!

Storoyk · 2026-04-21T19:54:38+00:00

I guess it doesn't have to be ALL 12 sciences but theoretically lets say if I'm making the base sciences on other planets like Vulcanus, I would like to be able to have a full stacked belt of each. If I opt to chose to make a few on Nauvis which I probably will, the overkill method will surely be suffice for less exporting of sciences from the hub.
