Yeah, the torpedo can just land there easily enough and it doesn't matter if it's got some funny floor under it!

Hah! It's a neat trick, and an excellent way of making sure you don't overproduce because you've got stock elsewhere. If it makes you feel any better, I've got 3,000 hours in, and it was pointed out to me on stream last night that I could have done that and it would've been a much simpler solution than the one I ended up using!

Excellent, glad to hear it's worked well for you. That one didn't have start/stop, but I would expect the process to be the same, just with a slightly different battery.

True, all signals do need to be connected to the station input lamp. I guess I felt that was obvious enough, but perhaps not!

@@LaurencePlays I was hopping around the video a LOT and doing things out of order. Depots were not depoting until I got that one wire in place. Very well could be operator error. >.> Thanks so much for the video. As everyone else has said, its an excellent reference and the youtube algorithm knows it.

@@andguent Ah, it's easy to miss a step if you're jumping around... But then sometimes you don't want to watch the bits you already know. It's a dilemma. 🙂 I'm glad it's taken off the way it has, but I expect its days are numbered - Factorio 2.0 has seriously reduced the need for LTN, so I don't think there'll be as many people using it in the future, and so they won't need the video!

I can assure you that it all works! If you're having specific problems, I might be able to help, but you can see that it works because I demonstrate it all in the video.

Thanks! You should see my actual, organically grown factories though... They're never anything like as neat!

If you're trying to build pipes with construction bots, make sure the pipes are in a red, yellow, green or purple chest (it sounds like they are) and that the area you want to build is in roboport coverage and that the roboport for the area you're trying to build in is linked to the roboport for the supply (look on the map, turn on roboport coverage and make sure there's solid orange all the way there). Oh, and that you have construction bots available! If you're trying to supply pipes to an assembler, make sure that you've got a blue chest and that it's requesting them, and also the roboport coverage and linkage I mentioned earlier. Also make sure you have logistics bots available in that area!

@LaurencePlays thank you so much for the reply. I might have zero blue chests. I will check it once I am back home. Wait a second. I thought logistic bots can supply an assembler directly. So I need chests where the bots put the items and I need inserters for that chests the bots are filling up with inlut goods? So in other words, logistic bots can never directly feed an assembler?

@@KopiG86 That's correct - if you want a bot based construction system, you need a blue chest for the logistics bot to deliver the supplies to, an inserter feeding into an assembler, then another inserter outputting into a red chest so bots can collect from it. Bots won't interact directly with an assembler.

@@LaurencePlays Thank you again! So basically logistics bots are completely useless till you research Logistic system. What a stupid system. So thats another science type. Starting to dislike this game.

@@KopiG86 Not completely useless - they can be used to supply the player with useful building materials. You're partly right though, they aren't all that useful early on - the exciting unlock at this point is the construction bots!

No - as long as they're all linked together, a bot will fly as far as it needs to. Do be aware that bots are slooooow though, so if you have a massive roboport area, it could take a long time for a requested build or delivery to actually happen. In Factorio 1, it was possible for bots to get stuck if you had a C shaped roboport network and they were trying to take a shortcut across from one end to the other, and ran out of power part way. That has been improved in 2.0, but I haven't properly tested it yet myself.

@ i put yellow belts in a red passive box in one part of my map. but the construction robot didnt fly there to pick up the belts in that red box. i made sure all the network lines are connected

@@palihensem I assume they didn't pick them up from somewhere else? That sounds about right - the red chest needs to be in an orange area, the area to build needs to be in an orange or green area and the roboports need to be linked all the way. I'd suggest you try testing it by putting a red box with a couple of pieces of belt much closer, and working away until you find the problem. I'm sure it'll be something very simple when you find it! Have you had construction working in general?

@@LaurencePlays i want to thank you so much for replying my comment. forgive my english. now problem is solve. maybe the blueprint needed are red belt not yellow belt. the belts i put in my red chest are the yellow ones. now the bots are flying across my factory bringing the belts. thank you again sir.

@@palihensem Aha! I'm glad I managed to help shake something loose. 🙂 I have noticed over the years that every time I think there's an issue in Factorio, it's actually something that I've done wrong, so I'm glad you were able to find the issue!

Thanks! I'm glad I can help! I'm always happy to answer questions, especially during the streams, and I've made a number of Tutorio videos that go into things like bots in more detail, typically in about 10 minutes each. I'd love the wider viewership too 😀

@@LaurencePlays I'll check out your by topic videos, thanks. I've been watching your streams but 6hr streams when I learn and apply, learn and apply iteratively makes going through them, e.g., when I found your use of ctrl + LMB to fill a machine (level of noob, yes, I had to research how you did that) isn't trivial at all. These newfangled digital recordings really are useful! That being said, you did get your roboports online, and showed me I misinferred needing the bots in my suit first, which is actually harder to make. Thanks for that too! Given Trump's win, the misandry and heterosexism of this platform may take a turn for the better with crackerjacks (sans the jacks). After all, today it was reported the Obamas took their jets to Dubai _for some reason..._ All I got from Trump's last term was the ability to say "Merry Christmas" without getting attacked, so I can't say he never did nothing (sic) for meh. So, now I'm curious how often comments will be going poof and if Ritz Crackers™ like us will not be as suppressed as before. We will see. On a live stream yesterday, it seemed even though the Brits on it were fretting there goes their monetization, I have to check if it was demonetized or not. I watch Mr Brown Alliance which is based in UKistan. We were saying way too much truth if it was the pre Trump era... So keep an eye on your subs and views, it may be allowed to reflect the actually data now, maybe... then again in the West most ppl have a shorter attention span than a goldfish... so I have no predictive confidence on this one way or the other...

@@jeffreyspinner5437 That's true, watching someone actually play and seeing what they do gives you lots of clues to the basic stuff that we don't even think about making into videos. Do keep asking any questions that come up, or come along to a stream and ask them live if you want. Yes, personal robots and base robots aren't dependant on each other - it's the same bots for both, but you don't need to set up one before the other. I should get personal ones up and running at some point though...

Yes! I just added that in my Space Age run last night; I unlocked full logistics, so I've now been able to put green chests in the middle of my belt assembly plant. 🙂 I just set the request to at least 5000 and make sure the inserter adding brand new ones is limited to maybe a few hundred, so there's always room to pull any spares and it's always trying to.

Yeah, the logistics bots don't do a huge amount in the early game - they're basically there to supply the player (and something else if you play Space Age!), which is still quite useful, especially when paired with a personal roboport and construction bots. But yes, construction bots are amazing, logistics bots are a sort of mildly useful side effect. Fortunately, the recipes are almost exactly the same so it's not difficult to make them both! The filter you put on the yellow chest will sort of work - any bots which grab things that are filtered will take them to those chests if they can... But they won't grab from red chests to do so unless you have them deconstruct the chest. That means they're good for ensuring that when you deconstruct a belt of iron plates, they don't just get dumped into general storage. They don't work for feeding assembly machines.

Build a megabase so you can use all your bots 😀 I'm happy to help - normally, I link to a roboport so I'm only building bots when there aren't any available, hopefully keeping the number at what the factory needs, rather than what'll fit in the roboports!

It has been quite annoying! I want the achievements and the bragging rights though, so I'm sticking with vanilla for now! I've got bots being built though so I'm through the worst of it!

Aha, that seems to be right! That gets to 8 anyway, I think I usually have vehicle snap at about 16 to give more flexibility.

Agreed, so much has been included! My most popular video (ltn) is now hardly needed! So much has changed.

So far, I'm enjoying 2.0, but I haven't got to space yet, so it's basically still just Factorio 😀

Thanks! Yeah, I've always been annoyed by guides that just tell you what's possible, but don't actually show you how! You could complete factorio without circuits, but they allow you to do much cleverer things. Like balance oil processing!

Not at all! They can build the blueprints you lay down and they can bring supplies to you. That's 90 percent of what I use bots for!

@@nosteinnogate7305 probably not! This video was made before that update came out and it's probably much easier now. I've not looked at the new systems though, been too distracted with Space Age (and a holiday!)

Yeah, the production of the new panels wasn't keeping up with demand. And even when you can afford them, they're still less resource efficient than the holmium ones. Which, to be fair, are probably less efficient than the blue space ones, but I don't have to be consistent 😊

I'm not sure I follow - we don't have stack numbers built in as this was all done in 1.1 and we didn't have the stack combinator mod. All I missing something?

Thanks! Naquium is a slightly different challenge to others because of the logistic quantities and the number of ingredients required, but we're here for the challenges. Enjoy arcospheres!

Thanks! There's a number of things wrong with it that I should have done differently, but there's also a number of things I did right! A lot of people would make their bus much wider than mine and have multiple lanes of some resources, but unless you're planning to have massive throughput off it, that's not necessary in my experience. If you make it to a stream, ask me about it and I'll explain how I set things up!

Ah, nice - that sounds worth looking into! Unfortunately, the car's about 8 years old now, so definitely out of warranty. Still, I caught it before the damage became too serious.

Thanks! :-D I might need to update a lot of my tutorios now that 2.0's come out, but the basics are still the same.

What else would you call a Factorio Tutorial? 😀

It's in the playlist, unfortunately because of the way UA-cam works, it's a separate video, you can find it here ua-cam.com/users/liveKmAAdg-UGpo?feature=share

@@LaurencePlays Oh, tyvm... you're now the 3rd content creator that have had their playlists fubar'd by google according to their own replys... even after reordering them, they said and this was only in the last couple of days as I've asked creators where's this and that, or why is your playlist randomly ordered (!) I like learning from others as at most an adv beginner in Factorio, because random walks in a problem space doesn't guarantee much other than running out of batteries for your flashlight (!) and string for your way back, and then good luck finding your way back or forward... 😎

@@jeffreyspinner5437 Interesting - I hadn't realised there was a problem and assumed it was something I'd done, but if it's happening to other people as well, maybe I should check all mine out again... But not right now! Thanks for letting me know. It's funny the things you take for granted as a Factorio player (like bus layouts or basic circuit stuff) - I did a beginner stream with a friend of mine recently because she's never played it, and seeing her solutions to problems was very interesting!

​@@LaurencePlays No problem. I'm the kind of guy that dares ask the question no one else dares ask, and I've learned a lot that way. How can anyone get gud or learn without daring to make the mistakes or "look stupid!?" Luckily for me, I learned from this guy that played the bongos, "why should you care what other ppl think?" The best advise I ever got. RIP Richard Feynman... I may watch the "beginner's" stream, cause I've met 7 (maybe 8, Idr, I got sad about that over the decades) Hard STEM capable women in my life, so I'm curious now. I was in academia for a while, before ESG/DIE (sic) fubar'd everything anyways. [Update] whoa 4hr streams... I'll try at least the first one... cause you may explain to her something Idk as well (!) Stay safe and enjoy...

You're quite right, there aren't any new planets yet - I'm still in the early game. You need to build up to a rocket (although that takes a lot less work than in old Factorio!) and then you can go to space and the new planets. I just haven't got there yet - I'm only 12 hours in 🙂

That's a nice idea! I'll have to look to see. I'm not aware of one, but that doesn't mean it's not there.

Oooh, you have given me an excellent idea; something I want to try this evening! It's either going to be glorious or an abomination. Or hopefully, both. 😀 I agree though - it is very easy to just fall into my normal Factorio habits and just play the game the same way I used to. I'll definitely make an effort to engage with the new systems.

@@LaurencePlays oh, by the way you can make the forbidden 1-wide sushi loop (except at the ends) by using belt weaving. ;) if I ever show that I might land up on factoriohno

@@trepidati0n533 I definitely consider belt weaving to be forbidden! "Lisa, in this house, we obey the laws of spacial consistency!"

That's a good idea. I thought having the date would be sufficient, but it's a lot easier to look at a number. They really should be in order in the playlists though - I don't know what UA-cam's been doing to them!

I was quite restrained, only 0:30 for me! And I'm still suffering from it. OK, and going to the bar last night.

That's true - at least then you'd be able to see them! Without bots, they don't magically disappear though.

An excellent point; bottleneck is very important. You can look at the machines to see if their animation is playing (I've been doing that a bit in the Jen's First Factory since it's pure vanilla), but it's much slower than looking for the red/yellow/green light.

Very close! It is indeed in the Lake District, but is actually the Honister Pass that runs down to Buttermere. ua-cam.com/video/wYWGYMa-J6Y/v-deo.html

@LaurencePlays Thank you Laurence. Maybe I'll go there soon. Looks nice.

I used to have an NB, kept it for ten years until it got a bit old and tatty. Was a wonderful car! I've been driving with the roof down any excuse I get. 😊 The Nd is also great, although I do need to get the alignment sorted!

Yeah, that's really important and easy to get wrong when you're a beginner! I know there's a tutorial in the game, but it was added after I already knew what I was doing, so I'm not very familiar with it! I'm glad I could help!

@@LaurencePlaysI didn’t see it in the demo tutorial but maybe it’s in the full-game tutorial. Now I’m an expert 😂. Thanks again

@@DUDEMIKE8 My pleasure! And now we get to learn everything again because 2.0 has released 😀 I'm very excited, and will be streaming it this evening.

Thanks! I know what you mean - I'll keep trying to keep them focussed!

Awesome! I'm glad it helped. It's a really useful mod, especially being able to empty the junk out of your inventory quickly and easily!

I'm glad it helped! Yeah, I like my outposts to be self contained and not require masses of cables to be run. Although if you make sure your rail blueprints include red and green cable from the start, then running it isn't so bad. 🙂

Very glad to hear it! I noticed that it didn't seem to be wired up properly, but didn't investigate it. Ooops.

Ah, gotcha. I had a feeling that it was for future purposes, but couldn't remember what the plans were there.

Ah, I missed the extra mineral water supply from mines. Sounds like it would make sense to just top up the main mineral water tank from the mines when it's <50% full, so there's always room for core processing outputs - and I suspect that's what the cable on the input pump is doing!

@@LaurencePlays That's what it was doing but that means there's always some in there so it always takes all the barrels so the pyroflux fills up. It's not a mineral water from cores issue, it's a pyroflux from cores issue. Having them in the opposite order would also have worked but that's a more major rework

Ah, the ground downstream stations! I'll have to take a look at that in the next video. 🙂

Awesome! I'm glad it went well. Once you know what you're doing, it's not too scary 🙂

@@coletraintechgames2932 that depends on the stage of the game you're at... It could be turret creep, tank, artillery nukes or personal laser defences!

@@LaurencePlays Thank you for responding. I am late stage. Just got nuke. I am not quick enough, the biters overwhelm the tank, I have to do this "battle box" where I move it out one or two roboport distances at a time and it just takes forever

@@coletraintechgames2932 It's been a while since I've played late game vanilla, but I think the tank is only useful for a little while. Once you have power armour 2, fusion power and exoskeletons, you're better off out of the tank running round at crazy speeds yourself. But also, artillery is great!
