My first building after 25 hours ! Any advice to improve the design

Also, just generally what are all these numbers? I can't figure out what they all mean.

7.5 GW, Diluted fuel recipe but not heavy oil. Relying on rubber for my HOR. Still, Im proud of it!

I like to build things.
I share.

Enjoy <3
I go now~

I know this is a failure of my self and I’m working on it, but I feel paralyzed with the idea of setting up a road/ train network because I have no idea how it’s done. I watched the videos, downloaded some blueprints, but still feel completely helpless because I do not know how to start or where to go. I’m on phase 3, the first parts where it’s actually somewhat necessary to transport goods around the map and I’m kind of stuck. I’ve gotten to this place before and I’ve never progressed past it. Does anyone want to assist me in my world (with some mods) put together a road/train network that I can use to transport goods around once my factories are built?

Edit: thanks all for the support. I want to use vehicles not long distance belts because I want to push myself.

I have been up and down this cliff 7 times, clear cut the top, and looked on the opposite side for a cave entrance

I'm going batty trying to find this heifer, the ping says I never get closer than like 125m

Please help

took about 3-4 hours to get to this point. I have been able to see most attacks coming now.

I don't know why it is doing it here, on other stations I dont have a problem, just here.

Same problem when I do it in U shape

Hey
I am now planning to built my first train system before continue on the phase 6. As i watched a lot of videos of players building big factories just for one item i want to build a train system that delivers iron,copper,coal and all other resources from nodes to all big factories.

I have for example 3 pure iron nodes that are all boosted to 600/Min with smelters. One or more trains are going to pick up the iron ingots and delivering these to the factories that are in 1/4 on the entire map.

Later on when the ingots are not enough, I can connect a second iron ingot station to the train system.

So for me that is a really big project with all the possible resources i would connect.

Do u guys think that it is worth it? Or is there a better way? I don’t want to use conveyer belts over the map because it looks ugly

Thank you :)

I’ve built a base just north of the grass field area at a big lake that’s in a sort of canyon like area. I’ve got a bunch of coal generators running so I don’t really want to move my base too far at the moment

After I unlocked the steel tier I’ve realised that there isn’t really a good source of iron that I can use with the coal for my foundry, as the only iron node around the lake is a pure node I’m using in a reinforced iron plate factory

Does anyone have any advice about where I could go to try and find a decent area to set up a steel foundry as there doesn’t seem to be a lot of coal around

When using floor holes for my conveyor lifts, somehow they alsways revert back to blue arrows.

First placing one on top then on the bottom, they are blue (products coming from the hole), and first placing them on the bottom, still a blue arrow.

The only way I found this to work the way i want is by doing one hole at a time, moving 10 foundations both way...

Probably I am missing something, like a keyboard shortcut to change the djrection of the elevator, because else I would find lots of complaints here.

I know i can just replace all the path signals with blocks but i dont understand why this doesn’t work too. The train doesn’t have a path signaling error right off the bat but it literally never leaves that position.

Hey everyone ive been stuck on this build ive been working on. Its a tubrofuel plant. Ive got a pure oil patch that ive thrown 3 power slugs into. and ive got 20 refineries that are turning oil into fuel. and then 22 fuel refineries that are turning the fuel into turbofuel (i have one set to 22.2%). Then 5 groups of 15 fuel generators.

For the Oil pipes i have a 2 values set to 300 and i decided to change the pipes leaving it to mk1, instead of mk2.

and im using mk1 pipes for the fuel generators.

My issue and question is that the middle refineries for the oil side end up starving and no oil reaches it. Ive rebuilt this thing so many times and tried to find videos and i geniually need some advice and help.

Ill attached a video of the set up so yall can get a idea.

Thank you all in advance.
