Another really big advantage with this design is that centralizing all of your production makes it much easier to identify and resolve bottlenecks and throughput issues (as opposed to flying all over your planet trying to locate a specific production facility).
It may not be efficient use of planet real estate, but does make for efficient use of engineer time, ease of use, and quality of life.
Bravo Nilaus! 👏

We really appreciate all the hard work you put in for these blueprints and videos. I've been using a handful of your early game blueprints on my recent restart to play against the Fog and it has SAVED ME SOOO MUCH TIME! Thanks!!

[Kwnt]

Thank you. This is super helpful. I don't want to learn all the ratio of different crafts and use calculator. I have started playing this game for experience and had fun but then i watched some youtube videos with tipis because i was starting to had some problems with not enough automation, and i was busy all the time crafting with 30m que.. After watching those videos with tips and blueprints I was discuraged to play this game becaue there was no sense for me just to use other people designs and solution and they where extra efficient and complicated. I remember thinking that there has to be some easy standarized way to craft basic things. And here comes you like a knight in shining armour. I want to have my own experaince and learn a thing or two and not just copy what others did. But this thing is just perfect for me. I can use the bus for some essential crafting and have my own experiance with designing different things. And your way of explaining things work for me perfectly. I have started new game and i have fun again. THANK YOU :)

The only reason I dislike bot/ILS bases over this is: if you're not a fairly organized person, it quickly becomes very hard to remember where you put things. I have a 100% ILS "mall planet" that makes everything and it was extremely quick & easy to build, but now I spend most of my time flying around the planet looking for the one ILS that makes a certain thing. Main buses force you to arrange things logically and in a straight line -- so they're harder to set up, but potentially easier to use once they're done!

[ppansen]

this video changed everything. i now have a factory for orbital collectors, because why not!!! thanks for sharing your awesome blueprints!

[Thnielsen]

This design is brilliant! I've been using it since your first video of it, 3-4 weeks ago. Works perfectly. Easy to set up, easy to expand, easy to customize. 🤘

[alveeker]

i bought this game cause of you, but i haven't been playing it since i struggle with designs, and mechanics (im used to fatorio). but this was a very clever way of making a main bus. i didn't know that you can have different configurations of the splitters🤔
this will get me started playing again, THANK YOU!!

[HelicopterShark]

I set up 2 extra lanes between iron and the builders. Both are mostly empty, but I put a box and hat over the splitter of one to request intermediate buildings and the other for a little bit of blue spray for those components (but it could just be made perminant on the lowest belt)

On the north side of hub I also have a buffer building extra processors for the mid game but on the lowest priority to feed the belt.

[sirmontag]

This is beautiful! Notes of old school circuit board design!

[jakobkristensensandvik]

You can make this design 2x more compact by having the belts right next to each other instead of spaced out. The splitters have to zig zag instead of being right on top of each other, but honestly that looks very good.

[TubeNewrome]

Have you considered designing Farm/Mall Planet? Like half of the planet is for dark fog bases and the other - sorter of loot and mall. I think dark fog drops pretty much all of the resources needed for mall (even thrusters and such) and if you have ~10 max level bases on the planet you get loooots of loot (more than full 30/s belt for a base). One probably could make a mall that completely independent and doesn't consume any mined resources.
Also - transforming 10-20 lines of unsorted loot into an orderly main bus would look amazing)

[dorgodorato]

I noticed that the sorters pulling stuff out of assemblers to go into other assemblers to be a little slow when starting up the bus. I put the storage behind the assemblers on splitters, then continued the belts to the adjacent assemblers. It still looks aesthetic imo and it prioritizes evenly distributing to the dependent assemblers before storing excess.

[BeetlebombD]

Thank you so much for these blueprints! I'm going to start a new game JUST because of this. You're the best!

[PoBob]

I use this HUB in my game. After I saw u do it a few episodes in. And I love it. OMG.

[meedowi]

Love the content and the blueprints, Nilaus, thank you! One suggestion would be to add the youtube links in the description of each Blueprint to the video where you show it's use! It would helpful for newer players like myself.

[chuckhartley]

excellent! I have been watching your death world streams but I am glad that you took the time to show us your setup. I've seen some others streamers on twitch do horrible things. Thanks for insisting on non-chaos builds.

[micheljolicoeur]

Awesome main bus, neat and orderly. Easy to find and order any items you may need.

[Mirality]

It would be good to get blueprints for the "upgrades" as well -- one for the full late-game bus, one for the proliferation and monitors, and one or two for the ILSes (input and output). While most of these are fairly simple, placement can be fiddly and it's nice to have something preconfigured.

[leguiaxx]

a better counter-argument for the item in the belt would be to contrast with item waiting in planetary, much less in the belt than any planetary based build
