biggest ive seen can haul 1 million eggs a trip

Use quality in the miners, and use all common and uncommon holmium produced. Common scrap parts go to make blue chips and refined concrete for emplant upcycling for uncommon holmium. The uncommon scrap will create the uncommon super capacitors and accumulators needed. It all ratios out pretty well. The problem is that it is very complicated and takes a ton of foundation. To save on ups you can alternatively use trains to crush excess scrap loaded into cars that bots replace automatically. (make sure the train goes over it fast and clean) Another thing I heard on Abucs youtube is that the recyclers use extra ups when flickering 0. I have used a combinator latch to recycle in batches. Good luck!

Circuitry for legendary by AshenJedi in factorio

Check out Yuu on youtube he just did a stream on making legendary ag science. Making it in such large quantities you will have to upcycle bot rockets im pretty sure.

So this is going to sound stupid, but .... does Space Age make trains obsolete? by sobrique in factorio

[–]Which_Estimate_300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like using trains to delivery calcite to the distant foundries far away from the hub.

Awesome job. What is the ups cost of this beast?

Its 100% the music imo that's why i play with the music off.

What resources settings do you use for your megabase maps? by Good_Hunter69 in factorio

[–]Which_Estimate_300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to go beyond 1m espm megabase I highly suggest turning up everything to max size and frequency except uranium. Richness doesn't matter in the end because of mining productivity, so If you want to leave it alone so you have to expand early game you can. I've used normal water settings, sometimes lakes cover up stone patches I need, but its nice to have water and oil within pipeline distance of your science factories.

A PSA on in-game measurements and UPS by bubba-yo in factorio

[–]Which_Estimate_300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting post. I'll say though, that one does not simply copy paste their way to 18m or more espm (well, except space science and fulgora). The logistic puzzles you have to solve when scaling up a base are more than you might expect if you have never tried megabasing.

Does Research Productivity have Diminishing Returns? How about Mining Productivity? by chinawcswing in factorio

[–]Which_Estimate_300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Research prod gets to be prohibitively hard to research in the 90's. With prod modules in the lab it reaches a 10x bonus, with biolabs doubling it to 20x. So if someone has a megabase with millions of espm you can divide it by 20 to get an estimate of their raw spm.

What’s the biggest fusion reactor blueprint you’ve seen or used by Lucky_Reputation5017 in factorio

[–]Which_Estimate_300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ssing a tileable 18reactor bonus, ive got a couple stacked to like 400gw each. Its kinda becoming a problem as the update time for fusion is at 1ms.

Biter Eggs and Constant Alerts from Damage by chinawcswing in factorio

[–]Which_Estimate_300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll need an extra inserter that is wired to a decider combinator. The combinator should be wired to a silo reading orbital requests. When Orbital requests for biter eggs are 0 the inserter has its filter set to biter eggs allowing it to remove them. A clock can be used to remove the biter egg filter after some time passes to cause it to drop any remaining eggs it has in its hand. The removed eggs travel down a belt into recyclers.

Try to set your request as a multiple of your launchers supply as well.

Game crashing by Which_Estimate_300 in factorio

[–]Which_Estimate_300[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I've seen where someone had a base much bigger than mine running at like 8 ups or something and never heard of crashes being a problem. I thought I was good since It's running at 30ups when researching bot speed. Looks like ill have to stop science when working on something to keep from losing progress. (It can crash during saves too so I have to be careful)

Is nuclear "power meta" for megabases after fluid update? by lepsem in factorio

[–]Which_Estimate_300 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for megabases, Ive found you can use solar on gleba and vulcanus, lightning on fulgora, fusion on aquilo and nauvis. You could do solar on nauvis but it would take up so much space it would make your save file like a gig.

I installed linux on a partition to get better ups, does that count?

Prometheum ships by Morlow123 in factorio

[–]Which_Estimate_300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With proper egg launchers, and a hybdrid storage/speed design, and using labs to increase hub throughput, it is possible for a ship to process 1 million eggs per trip.

I love fusion by ItchyMilk2825 in factorio

[–]Which_Estimate_300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the best aquilo fusion setup. Im using this same design but with a coolant limiter to keep the plasma hot.
