I'm working on my Nauvis upgrade plan, so after a planet I have an upgrade ready to go. Trying to build a foundry setup the same width as a smelting stack so i can slot in the replacement.

@@BinarySecond glad you enjoy it! yeah that's cool - the foundries usually take up less space for wayyy more throughput - it's amazing.

I got purple in my eye?

@TheJarGames 🤣 Sorry I meant Tungsten Plate.

@@itllgetyadrunk omg lmao someone else said it too and it finally clicked. thanks for havin my back

That latching with a single combinator is very spicy, nicely done.

@@BinarySecond I almost died

LFG!

thnx BobFitchKSP! I tried it shortly after, but didn't even know it existed. It's a great addition for future tests! Thanks again for the suggestion!

Yo thanks Cyclonite! Really appreciate that. Many thanks to Master Planned Music for the copyright-free music. City Planner Plays ftw! what a champ. If you can, buy my a coffee at ko-fi.com/thejargames no pressure, but it helps a lot with keeping the series going!

interesting! never thought of using bots to jump lava

lol thanks I definitely get it. this was, I think, the only video like that - we've come a long way since then! Check out the most recent video on the train system, ua-cam.com/video/7oBIcseWXHg/v-deo.html

Hello Dakota! Thanks for reaching out. Other people have been having issues with the captcha in discord and I'm going to remove it and rethink the entry experience. I added the correct role to you manually though in discord so you should be able to access it. Let's debug this in the Factorio channel! I'm available for screen share video call if need be, we'll get this working

Hello... I'm following Jars videos specially the testing stuff 😊 Is the server only online when he is playing?

@fiored9199 Yes, the server will only be available when jar is streaming it. We decided that if it was left running without him he would come back on Monday to fusion power lol.

Damn... it's 2am for CET. Won't be able to join.

Nice! I will likely do the same shortly, but I want to make sure my placement is good so that I can also fit the turbo belt production. So glad I got concrete up right away though, something makes me feel so great about a nice, tame, paved landscape

lmaooooo thanks ittlgetyadrunk - one day maybe we'll find out 😉

that would be awesome, yeah "read belt capacity" signal

Thanks Fumbler! The blueprint I added actually is even better than the video... but yeah,

oh that's interesting

because, sushi

This chain filling often leads to heavy lab flickering which signals the research process slowing down due to science shortage for small intervals. It is only a good choice because it is easier to build and takes up less space. If you can do it, it is always better to directly feed each lab.

@@narancs5 yeah 100% - I am actually not really a fan of sushi belts, and I don't use them in my gamesaves... but I felt like trying it out from a theory perspective

You can do this type of thing in vanilla, but I enable a mod called "editor tools" and start a game in the testing environment. feel free to join discord for more help

That would mean the inserters have to be on for signals that are below zero, which afaik doesn't work for setting filters. (Unless you're doing some integer overflow shenanigans; but the 2 extra spaces for the combinator and the 1 tick signal delay that you'd avoid are not worth _that_ headache.)

So much this, inserters are unnecessary.

@@AlexanderBukh have a blueprint with this design? I would like to see it

@@TheJarGames Unfortunately I can't give you a link, the URL gets my post deleted. All I can say is, take a standard sideload belt setup. Wire up three belt tiles. Two on the sushi belt, one on the sideloader. Enable the sideloader belt if (sci) == 0. Read+hold the two tiles of sushi belt. Now it only runs if there's a gap. Sorry I can't show my example, but I swear it is very simple.

@@creamydonk yeah I think I understand but it seems like you would need one belt for each science which doubles the input belts... anyways you could post the link but break it up like factoriobin . com / post/2345lkj45 so that it doesn't get deleted and I can construct it and view it. all good though either way, I appreciate the idea just wanted to see it in action

@@TheJarGames Ah good point. In that case I put it on factoriobin, the post id is g279nu And yes, one belt per thing. That is how I usually do things though, since I don't mix the outputs until they get to the sushi ring. I make a fairly huge ring behind the base and just tap everything into it.

Always happy to help!

right? I mean sheesh - I just want to bake a cake already

​@@TheJarGames😂 I couldn't tell if you had used the tank equipment grid or not? Tanks get have L E G

@@BinarySecond woah wait I didn't realize that LOOOOL!

@@TheJarGames also remote control from other planets. It's like a really bad spidetron.

yo dang SvenWM!! Great Idea! I set 1 of each of the inserters to filter only one type of science, then I set the enable condition being that type of science > 0, AND I set the stack size to the same science signal, so it won't ever pick up more than is needed. Now it's even more compact, simple, and accurate. Brilliant! Now this video is old news lmaoooo

Glad you enjoyed it David! Thing is, it only really matters what your capacity is - based on your belt length in your specific setup. The length of your belt and what inserters you use is really the only things that matter. Join up the discord and let's continue the conversation! Maybe you can take the blueprint and parameterize it to improve it :)

I'm going to send you a traincar of fish for your birthday

​@@TheJarGames yoo!

I am not sure why I dislike solar so much... dang hippies

I went Gleba first and it was *amazing* to have a Spidertron to get around before cliff explosives. Mech Armor is probably just as nice but I haven't done Fulgora yet. Having a setup of a few Biolabs too has made it super quick and easy to get the science done, I sent like two shipments and have all the tech trees finished. Gleba first is really solid and it gets more flak than it deserves, though it is troublesome to defend it. Tesla turrets seem to be the best option for that though.

​@@mousecar23I think Gleba first could be great. I also think it's probably the easiest base to have pre-planned as it has so few inputs, two fruits and water.

@@mousecar23 yeah that's awesome - Gleba is pretty good. They are weak to tesla turrets

big mining drills and foundries are awesome. Its probably the most boring of the new planets but its also probably the best for expandability. no active enemies and the metals can be pipped which means insane throughput in just one pipe. seriously considering moving my main base from nauvis to vulcanus and just shipping the science back to nauvis for research

This is a feature of how bots work. Checking the storage chest wiki bots will fill storage chests in this order 1. Storage chests with a matching filter 2. Storage chests with a matching inventory 3. Storage chests with no filter and no inventory 4. Storage chests with no filter and a mismatched inventory Since Jar placed down more chests than types of items he has to store (as you can see at 11:23 there are still empty chests) the bots stopped at step 2, filling storage chests with the matching inventory to the item that they carry. As for Fulgora, all items in all logistics chests will show up in the roboports logistics network. By connecting some cuircuits to the roboports, you can trash only items over X ammount in the logistics network. For example, ( roboport ) >>> ( decider combinator, "for [each] > #, output [each]" ) >>> (arithmatic combinator, "[each] - # = [each]" ) >>> (requester chest, "set requests from circuit network" ) Hope this helps!

​@@EXOgreenMC Thanks a lot EXO, I didn't realize I didn't know I didn't know I didn't know that the wiki actually spoke to this (!) I only knew, I didn't know a lot about Factorio, so I asked... Btw, noted and saved your reply text. I will replicate your suggestion and be less encumbered as I'm trying to get my newly minted rare recyclers and EM Plants to help me conquer my newly found quality issues (I always want more and more!) I want rare tungsten carbide stuff to build some machines of higher quality... maybe the foundry and the big mining drills, idk, and plate for coming soon for meh: fusion reactors... but I think that'll just get spoiled 😁

@@EXOgreenMC I learned yesterday on the Factorio discord, it's more parsimonious and less wasting of resources to make quality foundries instead of making quality components first, and recycle them instead going up the quality chain... Is that your read too?

@@Logically_Fallacious Thought I replied to this, but must have missed it. Im still new to quality, so I havent figured out the best way to do it. I basically didnt touch quality until I had unlocked legendary quality on gleba, and was making legendary quality3 modules. Well, except for quality armor and components. Since all the products can come from machines with quality, I would just add a second line coming off them that only outputs quality modules. then feed those quality ingredients into a foundry with quality mods for a chance to get even higher quality.

@@EXOgreenMC It's possible, I learned so much yesterday, I saturated me little brain. When that happens there are marbles that may fall out of my ears that I don't notice to pick up and put back... Sry, if I asked the same question. Enjoy.

lmao - I try 🥵

Hey Branllyr240! If you don't want to use wires or circuitry, you will just have to either A) live with generic trains that go to any stop, and use interupts that send it to the correct unloading station based on what goods it has, which makes trains just go to the closest loading station every time. OR B) The better option, just set up trains that are not auto-trains that go where they are needed. Set up trains that go to only one type of good, and use interupts to refuel them. basically use the same train setup as factorio 1.1

@@TheJarGames I am not so sure of this. To what extent have you explored the practical applications of the 'Station is full'/'Station is not full' interrupt conditions?

@@branllyr240 well, pretty extensively as you can see with this system (and the other 2 videos on this train system in my channel). but, that said, why not use circuitry?

@@TheJarGames aesthetics, partly. Even well-curated wiring looks cluttered to me, especially having built up factories around a wireless paradigm for hundreds of hours now. But beside that, I enjoy obtuse, unconventional, unpopular ..yet paradoxically functional designs. That the Factorio sandbox is designed with such latitude for atypical problem solving is for me among the greatest factors of its appeal.

@@branllyr240 Yea that's cool. well give it a try and let me see what you come up with. I think you could get most of the way there without circuitry but you won't have quite as nice balancing of the workload

That's awesome mousecar23! Glad it helped. I would definitely suggest exporting plastic from Gleba, if only to Volcanus. If you are in discord (or join discord?) share a pic of your ships! Would love to check it out

dang bro I feel yeah. wishing you a great 2025! Happy new year!

it just looks... faster!

You guys should just put on something like this and travel through space! _Born to be Wild_ ua-cam.com/video/rMbATaj7Il8/v-deo.htmlsi=Q6bsLogG_cuf3CGw

Thanks! I appreciate that a lot.

lmao I actually don't know - if you push this quest further let me know the results!

@ conducted the test. It does not work by itself. But inserters work between them so it technically does work lol.

@@Sphendrana cool!

@@TheJarGames Update: just using belts into the splitters is fine, but we're back to basic belt balancing with that lol. It would be pretty nice as a bug of we could do this lol. It would be very compact XD

Hey Jeffrey! Yes, I have been trying to get more compact with my designs... plus I've learned so much.. As for the beacons, generally I will beacon things that need all the throughput it can get. I only really beacon the oil because why not? need the excess pull out of the ground. The circuits, similarly... trying to max out the builds. It's usually productivity modules in the buildings and speed modules in the beacons, but not always. For the lower throughput, there's no real reason to beacon it. The armor build for example, it ran for like 5 minutes then it's done it's job. I probably could have hand crafted it all but I don't like that, I'd rather have a blueprint I can just let do the work. Anyways, beacons aren't as good as they were before because the benefits drop for every beacon you add effect to a building, but it still is positive. for example, 3 beacons affecting one building will not do 3 times the beacons effect anymore. That said, I beaconed the crap out of that one copper ore patch because I just want it out of the way.

​@@TheJarGames k, thank you for your explanation into your thinking about stuff. There's this fff-409-beacon-numbers that says somewhere around 8 beacons it becomes counterproductive to add more, but until then it's all peachy. My issue was for whom the bell tolls for a beacon... but it makes more sense to me now. Simple rule then: if it is a continuous production line or feeds a production line, beacon. If you can fit more than 8 (I never could) stop at 8.
