Factorio Tutorial - 9. Military Science

Well designed Blueprints for every part of an unmodded playthrough? That is the objective of this series of Tutorials "Base-in-a-Book"

This series contains tutorials on how to build efficiently and well designed blueprints striving towards aesthetics, efficiency, modularity and perfect ratios

The amazing video intro is created by "MSixteen 16":

Did the tutorial then realised they now take stone walls

In order not to completely block science production by filling a chest, you can place a splitter on the output line, so the half the stuff continues to the science assemblers, and half is picked by the inserter that feeds the chest.

For the Modular inserter issue:

Replace the power poles on the copper line with inserters pointed at their respective turret assemblers and move the power poles to a nearby block

[ORCACommander]

I was thinking at this juncture you may set circuit conditions on the storage containers and inserters if you do not want a full stack. Also you can use it to shut down the gun production if you have to snake the turret belt a long ways by having it detect a backlog.

On the Modular Military setup, shift the copper line south one space and add the appropriate inserters. It will then look like the coal line. Yes, this is a year later but, hey, this is still a great tutorial!

I think this is out of date. Military Science requires walls instead of Gun Turrets. I'm not sure if you have a new video, but this is what came up when I searched for Military Science.

That Modular Military setup has copper, but no inserters can reach it

6:24 "You could also combine it into one belt". That build consumes 7.5 coal per second (10 normalized), which is more than half a yellow belt. You'd either have to use a red belt with one resource per side, or you'd have to do some nasty mixing with coal on both sides.

I am a newb, I need to find the begining of your series!

My first sandbox play is such a noodle fest!

[TEIS]

does the yellow belt manage the gears for the turrents? seem like u need 20 iron a sec. just for gears for 5 assemblers.


and why didnt u use a splitter to split the sience/AP rounds?

[lewestorm]

very nice nilaus :)
but can you upload this bp aswell ? would be really nice
