Factorio 0.16 - Final Factory #190 SOLAR BONANZA

Drawing on 3000+ hours of experience with Factorio; this series will combine what I have learned into a single long-running Vanilla let's Play series on YouTube.

From pick axe to first rocket I will focus on efficient builds and comprehensive explanations to teach how to build an effective base from scratch

Once the rockets start launching I will transition to a megabase focused on effectivity and game performance to show how to build a large mega base

I have introduced some rules and challenges to this playthrough for yours and my enjoyment:
- Pure vanilla: This will be my final playthrough of Factorio Vanilla (I think)
- 1 episode for each YouTube Sponsor and Patreon backer ("Captain of Industry" or higher): More backers = more episodes
- Megabase must reach 10 Science per min for each episode played: 200 backers = 200 episodes = 2000 science per minute
- Everything is recorded: I have a tendency to build a lot off camera, but that would be cheating for the challenge
- Normal biter without expansion: I want to have the challenge of the biters, but continually re-clearing the same space gets tedious
- Rich resources: Considering the scale of the base I want to make sure I don't spend all my time laying tracks to reach remote, rich resources

27:02 That was close... The train has saved you as otherwise you really would park on tracks.

At the end where you was parked on the track, while you where looking on solar you hit something and stopped and on the minimap you could see a train speed past just beside your name :)

Might want to just add another 8 solar building factories to help that giant build

[HouseGamingHD]

wouldn't you need about 700k solar panels to sustain 20GW with just solar?

[mikesmit]

8 solar and 8 acumulator factories dotn cant really provide your build satisfaction as you also use them for your rockets and you still need about 670k solar panels to match your current power needs

[PlainCandle]

A couple of episodes ago you complained about not being able to see the rocket counter lights very well. What if you just changed the colors to make it easier to see?

[tim.dedopulos]

Lovely. But you could have used the stripey bits to draw yourself your nice big N logo :D

[FabriceNormandin]

Amazing! Did you by chance update the savefile for this map?
