Amazing video. This format of videos are sorely lacking in the Factorio community. I love these simplistic explanations that include the most important info in the shortest amount of time. Please never stop making these.
some ppl make 20 mins, 40 mins, even longer videos, some r good, most of them r not so good. YOUR video! short n very simple, also showing the products line w/ good explanation. LUV IT.
ya sorry, i dont have any interest sitting through an unedited LP where you happen to explain how train circuits work at some point in the 49 minute video.
When I first got to Vulcanus with my friend, I figured that since solar panels get like a 300% bonus, that they would be the best and easiest source of power. Eventually we starting having power issues because you get so little room to place solar panels down between cliffs and so we started looking at other power forms. I did NOT realize just how much steam is produced from the acid neutralization, it's like 2000/s and can fuel way more turbines than I realized. If you go to Vulcanus, do yourself a favor and just bring turbines, the power gain is actually more free than the solar panels.
To add on to this, solar panels are still really good once you have cliff explosives and are able to clear out the smaller worms. Steam from acid neutralization with turbines is absolutely 100% the way to go when you first get there, but when you've got free space you aren't using later on, solar can be crazy powerful on Vulcanus. I have a bit over a gigawatt of power with a good ratio'd design that I put down in spaces where I'm not planning on building anything.
@@pocketspider You could like 10x that if you filled the spaces with turbines instead, especially with the fluid throughput changes they made. And it's not like turbines are hard to make, they are almost completely free to make on vulcanus.
Great guide! I recently landed on Vulcanus and have been slowly figuring out how to get the production lines up and running using the planet's resources, and this is a great condensed overview for me!
One thing I keep breaking my brain over: What items -- beyond planet "uniques" like tungsten/holmium/lithium/etc products -- are great to produce on other planets? Science labs do well on Gleba for a little bit, so you can create & consume Agriculture packs directly, but eventually science will move back to Nauvis because of captivity/biolabs. I had a go at making chemical (blue) science on Vulcanus and utility (yellow) on Fulgora, and it's going fine. Vulcanus also seems great for green/red circuits, and potentially also red/green/gray/purple science, but it all has to be balanced against to costs of launches. I'd be very interested in your opinion on planet strengths beyond the obvious stuff.
Its weird how vulcanus has a 300% solar modifier. The atmosphere must be sooo heavy and musky.... Is this implying that the world broke into chaos not so long ago?
It's closer to the sun and the efficiency of solar energy is inversly proportional to the square of the distance. Which means Vulcanus distance from it's star is half of Nauvis. Not counting effects of atmosphere. We don't know much about it's atmosphere. Maybe it's even closer to the sun but the atmosphere blocks a good chunk of the sunlight.

I agree soo much ! This is a very useful starting point !
More to come!
Agreed!

This right here.

the best and clearer tutorial i've seen so far
Straight to the point and concise. Gute Arbeit.
Please don't ever change your video format.
a personal roboport was a huge help on vulcanus, quickly mining rocks so you just have to walk over the items on the ground
Love your videos, keep it short and simplistic
That’s so cool guide!!! Very compact and efficient as nilaus freighter space ships delivering so clear concepts straight to my brain 😮
I love your videos, so simple and straight to the point
Would you please, do such a video, for the other 3 Planets too?
That would be awesome!👍
This is awesome. Short and to the point. Also my wife says the dog needs to be in every video
Avadii videos NEVER disappoint! Thanks for the guide, getting really close to getting to Vulcanus in my playthrough!
I.....didn't know you could throw the stone back into the lava...i've just been paving the entire planet with stone blocks.
LOL!
You are amazing, nothing more to say
oh how I never thought of using the sulfuric acid's steam for power generation. I saw 400% solar and went straight for that,

Science labs do well on Gleba for a little bit, so you can create & consume Agriculture packs directly, but eventually science will move back to Nauvis because of captivity/biolabs.
I had a go at making chemical (blue) science on Vulcanus and utility (yellow) on Fulgora, and it's going fine.

Lava go in, money go out !
Don’t believe me ? Look at my incredible mass greens circuit production 😊.
Please make one for Gleba.
Can't wait for the spiraling down into oblivion for the Gleba video!
Can you do one for gleba?
For sure at some point. Making content is time consuming though and it's not first in my video ideas queue.
But how can you use these new smelters in Nauvis?
Can you do guide in new train system?
Not me thinking I would have to get my plastic from Nauvis since I forgot you can refine heavy oil down to petroleum gas 😂
To get molten iron you need iron ore, no mention of that.
On Vulcanus itself you can just use lava. No ore needed.
not me finding this video after fitting dozens upon dozens of solar panels between cliffs...
You cqn throw exces stone in the lava ?!!!
That would have been useful 24 hours ago

I'm Cooked
You can throw it back into the lava????
Yes
vulcAnus?
