Great job so far. Appreciate the effort you going through to cut out all the junk/mistakes to save time.

I have just binge watched this series so far, and it is really helping me learn by copying your factory to the letter. I did notice that you gave your main buss a little love by adding a couple splitters. Were there any other small tweaks that I missed?

Thanks for the series! I look forward to the next episode to further the factory.

*While I do consider myself a beginner, I have to admit I prefer the laser turrets when doing the turret creep, dropping in the ammo feels costly and stressful. But the lasers only need power. Very tempted to rush that research just to clear surrounding biters. Using the same seed as you.*

Love this series! so glad you made a new one for 1.5! Can't wait for the next one

I just grabbed Fe plates from my main bus and ran them up along the main smelting area to make the steel smelters. Is there an issue there with scale-ability? Because if not I think it is more aesthetically pleasing to me than splitting my iron ore supply and making Fe plates specifically for it. (note: following along with your layout on the same map - Rail World 321) And as always, great video and great explanations! Thanks TP!

Do you know if I can unresearch something? I accidentally started research on something with military science, but I'm not quite far along enough to get that going efficiently.
