What's your favorite style of smelting array?
My favorite style? Idk if u mean it this way but I am fond of belt weaving the coal with the iron and just making it long instead of more arrays I usually prededicate an area for like 8 lanes of copper (never needed it) and 8 lanes of iron (definitely never will need all of it lol) 4 of steel and 2 for stone bricks
Modular outpost arrays!
I'm still new so your layout looks nice. Otherwise, I used the layout in the tutorial.
@@joshuamoore9703 4 lanes of steel is so much lol. you need 20 lanes of iron to produce that much
@@cool_scatter yeah I know it's alot and whatever but it's fine really bc I don't usually use anywhere near that much but it's also something I like having around and I don't usually hook up another belt u less I need it but it's there on the bus ready to go just in case
"The biters are usually the ones who do the un-repairing."
Usually. But I'll never forget the time I had the wrong hotbar active and wound up throwing a grenade instead of using a repair kit like I intended. That accomplished some un-repairing, too.
don't forget my "state of the art" driving skills, they do unrepair quite reliably too
[snorts and his coffee goes through his nose] hahaha that comment was hilarious! Well done!
was using factorissimo2 once and was curious about what would happen if i use artillery inside a building
that did some unrepairing at 0,0 in our overworld
KoS: "Don't expect daily uploads"
Also KoS:
I think she said in a video quite a while ago that she records longer sessions of gameplay and chops it up to upload in parts. Anyway, glad to have the arch-mage of Factorio back, one way or another!
@@deletedgamer111 Couldn't agree more. Cheers sir
Even after all these years of playing, I didn't know about the assembler making stone furnaces by direct feeding. See, you can always learn something from KoS! 😉
Holy fuzzy cats, another video already? Aren't we lucky! Hope you're alright, KoS. Sending happy thoughts your way, for what it's worth.
KoS making the settings: I'm leaving cliffs on
KoS the next episode: So those cliffs might be in the way...
Congratulations, you played yourself.
Wait. There’s something down the science that lets you get explosives that destroy cliffs.
A year late to the party, but really thank you for the series. Something about it I really enjoy, just someone playing a game they love and sharing what they know! Again, thanks :)
I second this
Glad you're enjoying it!
I never really thought a series on this game could be fun, and probably it wouldnt be if it wasnt you making it happen, but I am loving it c:
I've found you when I had like a couple of hours spent on this game, when your (very first) "entry level to megabase" was still ongoing.
I watched the whole series back then.
Fast forward I've watched the whole series of "entry level to megabase 2" and now with almost 500 hours in Factorio I'm still going to watch your third revision of "entry level to megabase".
Keep up the good work!
Enjoy!
Ive probably got 4x that, and i still watch, entertainment.
Dunno if it was intended, but loved the opening - the research sound - with the Nanobots finishing up! Nice touch.
I love the term "un-repair" lol I was laughing for way too long on that one.
I was today years old and 340 hours into Factorio when KoS taught me that miners can feed directly into an assembler.
I am like 2 years late to the party...
BUT! i absolutely love the series, your megabase 1 series got me into Factorio wayyy back.
always a happy day watching your videos.
Thank you so much!
I’m really happy to watch this let’s play. That being said, please don’t overdue it. Take care of yourself you’re worth it! Cheers!
I love watching more experienced players making their bases. Because you can see all the decisions being made, but once it all comes together and it turns out looking clean and smooth and lovely, you immediately throw your hands up and cry sorcery. Lovely stuff.
I bought factorio because of your playthrough's, thanks for starting another series!
I've Gotta say, out of all the youtubers doing tutorials right now I much prefer yours, it's much more beginner friendly and i don't feel forced to do something one specific way, thanks a lot for this and I look forward to the next episode!
I mean this in the most loving and appreciative way possible- These videos put me to sleep like nothing else. I don't play Factorio, and find that all the details and layouts of belts and things is completely uninteresting to my brain so it just kind of glosses over it... but it's still interesting enough that it distracts my brain from thinking about other stuff and lets it just... shut off for a while. Which makes me be able to sleep.
Insomnia is a jerk, and you're curin' it with your Megabases. Thank you. :)
Also I'm sorry about your migraines. I had them for years til I figured out I was allergic to feathers and promptly got rid of all of my feather pillows, blankets and jackets. I wish you could have a cure as simple as that. Also sorry about your Neuropathy- I'm dealing with carpal tunnel right now and it's such a pain!! Been using the other hand so much that now THAT one is starting to suffer. UGH. Can't win!
Snuggle the kitties for me, please! I always love hearing them in the background of your videos.
Regarding early automation of stone furnaces:
You can set 7 miners around the assembly machine AND have an inserter put the finished furnaces into a chest.
Filling up all miners with a full stack of coal should give you enough furnaces for all your smelting needs for quite some time. Also, it is quite a bit faster because the assembler doesn't need to wait for material as much.
the burner mining drill?
@@Gelattonian20 Jup.
I love the 'Grrreetings! And welcome back to Factorio!"
3:55 if you only place 3 miners and one inserter to extract to a box, then your stockpile of stone furnaces can be much higher.
I see that you still love your nanobots.... saves clicks and damage to your wrist. But I found Klonans (i think) construction drones more fun. For the same reason reducing clicks and muscle damage. I hope you are feeling ok.
Last time I tried Construction Drones they were getting stuck on EVERYTHING. They were more of a pain to use than a pleasure. I hear they might be better, but I haven't had the ability to try them out. Also, they are reusable... paying for nanobots seems more fitting ;-)
Feeling: not great... but Factorio: thoroughly addicted once again! XD
@@KatherineOfSky Awwwwww.... :-/ At least you're having fun, though, too? Oy! I hope you can feel better.....
@@DavidLindes Thanks so much! :-)
@@KatherineOfSky :)
Pleased to see you back, hoping I can finish playing along side your series :-)
Ooooh, I thought I was the only one who liked to bring the output of a smelting column back from where it came in!
Doesn't that cause a lot of belt spaghetti if you build several smelting columns in a row?
No, it's very neat and tidy
Really enjoying these videos! Very helpful! Thanks!!
Just finding this series and I can't wait to watch it all!!!
Wow. I never thought about putting two different crafting ingredients into a single chest. That's a huge early game time and space saver. This is why I like the KoS beginner videos so much.
Thanks! Have fun playing!
I play listening to your narrative, very calming.
I wasn't hoping for all these episodes so fast, thanks ^^
Love your videos, most others talk and move fast so I appreciate it. Thanks for making it fun too.
Glad I found your videos. Keep up the great work an your way of talking about these and those.
Thanks KoS :) Looking foreword for the next episodes :)
It never bores me, watching Factorio being played.
I almost started playing a few moments ago... and decided to watch, instead. :-o
imagine being stuck in the trees in the forest and stump in to the web of a spidertron
nope
Evil thing in spider-form, last child of Ungoliant to trouble the unhappy world.
I already loved your Factorio Entry Level to Megabase 2 series, so I'm happy to see it coming back for season 3 :3 Your explanations really helped me a lot understanding how the game works.
OMG, I went a little crazy in my block of smelting columns, and biters went crazy with all the pollution. You are correctly easing in lol. Great to compare builds so far. So enjoying the Factorio love!
Love it! Please keep up. Have a good one.
"We're eventually going to take this temporary production down"
*finishes rocket*
"Okay, now we can take down that temporary capsule construction setup."
lol
That smelting column style is so psychedelic! It's funky to see the ore and plates going in opposite directions like that. I had never thought of that kind of setup, and it makes _a lot_ of sense depending on the kind of terrain you're working it. Another unexpected, brand new idea (for me, at least), proving once more that one never knows "everything" about this game!
Morning... great to see a new tutorial ongoing as i log on... holy fuzzy cats.
Hi KoS. I am thinking of buying Factorio so I trotted over here to get a feel of what it's like to play the game. Thank you for the great videos. I have just noticed and watched your 'Deep Secret' video and can wholly empathise with your situation. I have endured very similar circumstances and reactions in past years. Much Love. Keep fighting.
Awww, thank you so much! I hope things are better for you.
I liked your use of “un-repair” as damage. I’m going to use that next time I break something in the house, especially during any home improvement project. I didn’t break it, I temporarily un-repaired it! :)
XD
Love this new Series KoS , watching your Videos and planning my own factory
Love all the series you did. Great to see you back again.
Fun fact, when she said connect I still hear Ku nekting in my head and still brings tears in my eyes 😂
HAHAHA!
Katherine, just thank you so much for your awesome content; especially so with Factorio. It is SUCH a complex and enjoyable game, and between the smooth tambour of your voice and excellent command and understanding of the game, you make it accessible for the "rest" of us. Thank you ma'am! Long time subscriber btw!
You're very welcome! Thank you for the very kind words: they really touched me
@@KatherineOfSky holy cow ma'am thank you for replying! I am so thankful I was able to provide a bit of positivity to your day!
There's something special about this serie
Thanks to you Katherineofsky, i now have 4 accounts on Factorio, one for my son one for my factorio server and one each for pc and mac, keep the streams coming, made it once to the rockets by following this stream, now i try again and will aim for the megabase this time! great fun, great youtuber, and to top it off you have a nice voice making it more comfortable! :-)
Just discovered this channel today. Looks amazing! Keep up the great work :)
Welcome! Thanks so much!
I'm Just starting now on Factorio and loving It so much. There's so many good tips on the vídeo. Thanks
Enjoy the game!
You’re the best KoS!
That’s all I have to say.
im new to factorio and thought it was really confusing, i am now enjoying the game after the first couple of videos, thanks for the help :)
7:03 "stuff is gonna get unrepaired"
xDDD
lol
Oh...didn't know you could do that trick with the furnace, stone, and assemblers. Nice!
Such a pretty voice! Love the videos, I’m becoming a fan of your commentary and play style
Watching you play Factorio makes me want to play Factorio. This game I can basically play forever.
Actually for the power poles, you can make 1 next to the burner inserter and another up form the 2nd steam engine. So there will be 2 lines of power, up and down. And then just connect them at the start of the column.
I like this design little bit more because those 20 boilers are really wide in total and this saves some space.
Thanks for another video. I was looking at your blueprints and I noticed you don’t have your starter base blueprint on the google drive anymore. I was trying to recreate the 0.17 one from memory last night. Love your content.
Hi KOS! Love your videos :) since these series are for beginners, maybe it is worth explaining how to calculate ratios for things (e.g. why 48 furnaces, 30 drills, 20 boilers and so on) .
It's interesting following along on these videos while going after the "Lazy Bastard" achievement :)
2 videos in one day? This is good.
I feel like building your electric station right next to coal in the beginning can work best. Less running around haha
It's best to build next to water because of pipe pressure. You can belt in the coal
KoS live!
Hope you are doing well!
very educational video :) I do feel like coal into electricity is the worst thing to automat first :) coal into furnace - furnace into crafting seems much more efficient
Love your tutorial :) Having myself severe arthritis I understand your problem entirely. I use the mod FasterStart that gives an armour, powerplant, nightvision and 25 con.bots. This helps me a lot with bigger builts as I only have to make a blueprint once and save it in a folder and import the string. Not only it helps the pain in my hands but mostly im to high on the painkillers to remember wtf im doing :p
I'm not a fan of the mods that give you limited bots because for me they kinda defeat the purpose. You have to wait around for sloooooooowwwwwwwwness. It's kinda awful. Try nanobots!
13:12:
KoS: [carefully planning out her bus]
me: "hi, fishy fishy fishy!"
:D
[I think I didn't get enough sleep. Sorry. Hopefully this is funny to more than just me.]
lol
Kos, I suggest only using one or two burner inserted for your power. then switch to your normal inverters. this give you more efficient use of supplies but still gives security if you loose power so they can restart on there own.
I'd rather have the whole line be able to restart itself at the same time. Just one or two may not generate enough electricity for the inserters to switch on. I'm not realy concerned with a couple of pieces of coal here and there ;-)
I hope you're okay 🥺💓
next episode pleaseeee :D
ok now that stone furnace trick is new to me ... nice to know ...
if afraid of the dark does affect solar panels it probably only has enough effect to light an electric candle ...
you do realize your coal line is above your smelter line yest your smelter coal supply is set to bottom feed not top feed ... if you split from the corner of the power line coal belt ... then you can feed the smelters and move your smelter line down as you need more ... and increase your coal production as needed ... and still keep your power well fed with plenty of margin for slack
.
lol not too bad took you 10 minutes to figure out the coal ...
.
When I setup my power coal line ... I always set it up as my first line on the bus ... then I can split off as needed ... in general my first four lines are coal, iron ore, copper ore, and stone .... then the next set of four is the processed iron and copper ... 3 iron to 1 copper ... and then the rest are filled as needs dictate ... but the last 4 are always my science products ... and they filter back as needed
It didn't take 10 minutes to "figure out coal". There was always the possibility of routing it from the south. Please don't be so insulting... I have played this game before.
Inspired me to jump back into Factorio!
Use three miners and an inserter out to get maximum stacks of furnaces
35:44 I see the blood frenzy has taken hold
KoS: That's very tasty nice.
Me, just finishing a mini sticky toffee pudding: Why yes it was! 😋
HAHAHA!
Katherine! Can you please get the 'my own pollution' mod for this series? It changes the color of pollution on the map from red to white so that color-blind players can see it. The default red color is almost completely unrecognizable on a busy map with even mild colorblindess. I know you are trying to be especially inclusive with the new series and I'm excited to watch!
I will consider it. However, I wasn't able to find it in the mod portal at all in any of the last 3 versions of the game. I searched with the you gave me as well as with "pollution", and nothing came up with that name.
Friendly comment: increased rate of bullets is increased dps 😊 Love this series. Learning allt
Increased DPS, yes, but it just uses bullets faster, doesn't give them extra damage or reduce production costs. Glad you're enjoying the series!
I think you should definitly reduce your polution, by replacing your Burner-Miners soon-ish
That opening sound tho
"We should have a low evolution level because the pollution hasn't actually hit the nest yet."
That actually doesn't matter. Pollution hitting nests spawns biters and triggers attacks. Pollution being generated advances evolution, no matter what absorbs it.
21:00 me, trying to follow along with the witchcraft, not understanding it
31:18 me, understanding and having my mind blown at the same time
In about six months, I suggest you look into Space Haven. It isn't what you would want yet (no tech tree for instance) but they are working hard on it. Caledorn covered the original release, if you haven't watched that yet.
I covered the demo when it first came out :-)
Niluas has finally met his match
Made me giggle 0:58 6:08 😊
Sorry about that... I had MAJOR technical issues with the recording and had to restart several times... Was hard to keep track of what I mentioned and didn't! :D
Hi KOS! I'm a little late to the Factorio game, and your videos have helped me immensely!! I hope your well. A quick question, how did you move a segment ~19:00? Trying to figure out how to use deconstruct plus copy/paste to move a copied or blueprinted structure like you did there. Cheers!
You can use typical windows shortcuts:ctrl X, ctrl C, ctrl V
@@KatherineOfSky Got it! Thanks so much, loving this walkthrough. Cheers!
The new mining-drill art does animate a lot more slowly than the old; I found it felt like they had a power shortage too! Wouldn't make a difference for new players, I suppose, but it will make it that much harder to notice when they're *really* running slowly.
That's a great point.
Just finished watching this and I’m already suffering from withdrawal symptoms :(
@KatherineOfSky how do you detach the camera from the player to scroll around the area? Not in the map screenof course. Thank You
You have to be in the sandbox mode which is a different map setup. There might be a way to do it: check the console commands on the wiki.
helps to see how you do it
How do you pick up items from the belt without destroying the belt? I feel like there are so many control hints I could use like the counting and blueprint ones! Great stuff
Press F to pick up from the belt. More: czcams.com/video/Fs-WmS9AxSQ/video.html
As far as I know biter evolution caused by pollution is not based on pollution absorbed by spawners but by pollution generated by your factory.
Hello Katherine, will you be going though blue prints in this series?
You just answered it, Thank you! LOL
Why don't you use burner inserters for the smelting facilities? Thanks!
Mostly habit, but a good reason being that once you move on to electric furnaces and deconstruct these, you can reuse/upcycle the inserters. Also, in steel smelting columns, you often need long-handed as well as inserters between furnaces, so you need power poles anyway.
Im not yet done watching the 2nd megabase series and then 😭😭
Ahh Factorio, the game doesn't require an education in computer engineering and circuitry - but it sure does help. This game routinely breaks my brain.
21:28 console command to unlock the blueprints. posting to save some agony.
There shouldn't be an agony. A simple trip to the wiki is all you need :-)
Hi there! Bought factorio finally yesterday and still learning the game. On 34:00 why does she puts a splitter instead of justing letting the 2nd belt drop on the main belt? Also im having a hard time with belts filling on 1 side completely and having the other empty. On miners i understand i just need to "zig-zag" the machines, but on production? Did she managed this problem with the 31:00 explanation? If so, i'll always be needing to mirror splitters or something?
If you just let the belt run into the other one, all will end up on one side. If you use a splitter, it puts it on each side.
@@KatherineOfSky tyvm Katherine!
Hi! Where do you get the Mods you have listed...I am interested in the FNEI: QoL mod useful for beginners (shows recipes and ingredient usage)
Get them through the in-game mod downloader. When the game starts, click Mods.
@@KatherineOfSky Thank you
So I've not even gotten past whichever tutorial introduces you to the green circuity things, is there a reason to mix belts with splitters instead of just running them straight into one another on the sides? I only ask because splitters melt my brain and the little extra bit of belt on the side that isn't used that gets a bit of resources on it drives my apparently ocd self up the wall. Didn't think I cared that much about tiny things like that but I suspect this game will help me discover all sorts of new psychosis I can go get diagnosed.
If you run it into the side, it only fills one side of the belt, sometimes making the belt unbalanced. Come to my discord if you need any help.
When you place belts over a resource does the resource disappear under the belt or is it still there and can it still be mined?
It can still be mined. It doesn't erase the ore patch from the world.
@@KatherineOfSky Thank you!
What are those big cloud explosions at 35:55 ?
Pressing spacebar with Nanobots.
be careful on that southern base it has quite a few worms.
What is a splitter/what does it do, and what are its limitations? Im a true noob, ive only played the tutorial, so even this early game stuff is new to me
Check out the wiki for basic information like that.
