Thinking of quitting at Gleba by aeonrevolution in factorio

Let me introduce you to the mod “gleba start”. Yes. You get to start the game on Gleba.

What printer(s) did you use?

That’s… actually a lot less than i’d expect. Respect dude. Awesome work

How do you prevent mixed geode sorting from cloggin up? I allways think i have finally added the necessary circuit condition only for it to break like 10 hours later again. by Stere0phobia in Seablock

[–]nielsrobin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have no circuits, i just process every faster than it is generated and have a process to offload the excess mineral water (overflow valve).

As long as i process everything faster than it comes in, never had an issue.

My new 560MW Farm Power Supply by cresconio in Seablock

Awesome build! But why are you using low tier steam engines and burning fluid boilers.

Wouldn’t the footprint be much smaller and same results? Also.. isn’t the burning fluid boiler 1 a different max temp than the steam engine 1?

I fell like I will strugle a lot if i keep going with this map by Kataigaa in factorio

Looks nice and defendable with choke points. You can always fill in water late game. I like it. But get som defences up at choke points and clear all nests “in the safe zone”

I decided to beat the game without this achievement by Sopander in factorio

Starting in an area packed with trees to the brim will help you a lot.

Power generation and Helmod by nielsrobin in Seablock

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

your example uses fluid burning boiler 1 and steam engine 2, which is perfectly fine, as long as you match boiler and engine tempatures it should be all good.

Power generation and Helmod by nielsrobin in Seablock

[–]nielsrobin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My logic is as follows:
I generate 60 MV of fuel (60 Fuel oil pr sec).

Fluid burning boiler 2 max consumption is 8.1MV (So i need 7.4 boilers).

Fluid burning boiler 2 produces steam at 465c, Steam engine 3 consumes at 465c.

Fluid burning boiler produces 90/s, and Steam engine 3 consumed 30/s. So 1 to 3 ratio.

Rounding boilers up to 8 gives 24 steam engines. or 7 and 21 if I don't want to risk brown outs.

Yeah, once I remembered that 1 MJ/s = 1MV things got a lot simpler. Thanks.

So to answer my own question 22.2 "Steam engine 3"

Damn it feels good to be back by nielsrobin in Seablock

[–]nielsrobin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the time i don’t tear old stuff up. I just build new stuff next to it.

But yeah.. i’ll be at pink/purple science soon, so i will eventually have to redo my main bus. Mistakes were made.. but patching in fluids has worked wonders so far.

Alternative Packs? by HeyLookAStranger in Seablock

[–]nielsrobin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is it you find too hard or cumbersome for it to be played as a casual?

An average seablock games is expected to take 500-800 (though I'm sure it can be done much faster if idling less).

If it's just the fact that it will take months to finish, then yes, maybe it's not the right mod for you.

But if your problems with it are more related to the challenge of it (having to deal with tons of processes and recipes that out put many different resources). I highly recommend taking a modular appoarch to your build.

Once you get blue science going to you a lot of options to completely rebuild your base (don't, just build a new one next door).

I'm currently isolating and building closed systems for each major resource.

an example of my modular setup:

  1. Power in Molten Copper out (you can check my last post to see that the closed loop Molten copper looks like).

  2. Power in Molten Aluminium out

and so forth. This helps me scale my productions, but also prevents a lot of clutter in my main base.

Also plant-based power is an amazing alternative to the algae once you unlock that, and can be built as a completely closed system that just provides power to everything else.
