Essential ROCKET PARTS to Launch Your First Rocket | Factorio Tutorial/Guide/How-to

FACTORIO MASTER CLASS
This series of Tutorials and How To Guides help you become a better Factorio Engineer
Each video serves as a beginner's guide but also contains tips and tricks for both veterans players

Before each video I am conducting a Factorio Workshop on Twitch with my community in order to refine and optimise the builds presented.

Schedule:
1 video / week

All Master Class Blueprints are available on FactorioBin

The numbers at the bottom left are super useful.

[Flippy]

The logic process to these designs is the most fascinating part

Watching these masterclasses have been really helpful. I'm 66 hours into my base and the scale is daunting.

I normally wouldn't be this asinine about grammar, but I've noticed my German colleagues often use present continuous form when they should be using the present simple form, as does Nilaus here. So don't take this the wrong way, this is mostly for my own edification, but I wrote it out to perhaps benefit Nilaus as a side effect.

2:25 A: The satelite is also requiring some ...
4:55 B: This one is crafting one every two seconds
5:30 C: This is producing X/sec ... this is consuming X/sec
6:00 D: I am researching yellow science before I research productivity science.

At this point I tried to reverse engineer what might be going on in the head of a German speaker by translating to German and back. I've written a literal translation (wörtlich) of the above phrases, as used by nilas. Words in parenthesis are generally omitted in German, but adding them makes the difference clear.

A spoken: The satellite is also requiring some ...
A wörtlich: Der Satelit benötigt (gerade) auch etwas ...
A gemeint: Der Satelit benötigt (im Allgemeinen/grundsätzlich) auch etwas ...
A fixed: The satellite also requires some ...

B spoken: This one is crafting one every two seconds
B wörtlich: Dieser fertigt (gerade) eins alle zwei Sekunden
B gemeint: Dieser fertigt (im Allgemeinen/grundsätzlich) eins alle zwei Sekunden
B fixed: This one crafts one every two seconds

C spoken: This is producing X/sec ... this is consuming X/sec
C wörtlich: Dieser produziert (gerade) X/sec ... dieser konsumiert (gerade) X/sec
C gemeint: Dieser produziert (i.A./g.) X/sec ... dieser konsumiert (i.A./g.) X/sec
C fixed: This produces X/sec .. this consumes X/sec

It appears the normal phrasing in German does not differentiate between something that is happening right now (gerade) and something that happens in general (im Allgemeinen/grundsätzlich). If that distinction is important or unclear from the context, I guess you have to add qualifiers in German. In English, the distinction appears to be embedded in the grammar.

D spoken: I am researching yellow science before I research productivity science.
D wörtlich: Ich forsche YS (gerade), bevor ich PS forsche.
D korrekt: Ich forsche YS (grundsätzlich), bevor ich PS forsche.
D fixed: I research YS before I research PS.

This example is particularly interesting, because the first half of the sentence uses the present continuous form, but the second half uses the present simple form. The Denglish brain could use present simple for both, but for some reason chooses to use it only once. Maybe because German only requires the (generally omitted) qualifier in one part of the sentence, so it also only gets the grammar mixed up once?

Having launched my first rocket with early to mid game designs I thought I had pretty much finished the game. These designs have helped me understand that the game is just beginning!

[TheTrondvn]

New to factorio, and struggle to make effective and prod that i can copy later to make it make more. But these guids have opend my door in my head how to make and plan stuff! Thanks man! :D

[GaryBoyles]

This was awesome. I am rather enjoying the more nuanced builds for giving great efficiency but also having a real clean and nice look to them as well.

[jeffreylyons]

Commenting on a perfect master class, thanks

[maegnis]

No downvotes. As it should be on a masterful master class. :)

[joelucero]

I Love the Master Class videos, I hope you continue them in to some Late Game (Mega Base) builds.

[punksntdead]

at 3:33 I think you mean divide by 1000. I was so confused when I followed along.

[Teneombre]

I would have choice a slightly over production for low density over a slightly scarcity since you need a lot of them for your personal equipment grid but overall I'm fine with this. Thanks for this video !

[Naib]

I missed this workshop session, so sad. Great video always!

[Aconaut]

Maybe you have twice as many views as subscribers, because there are more people like me, who watch those two times - once in full, and then in parts, alt tabbing the game xD

[mobiusqwe]

Glad to know you're going on late game builds, I thought your designs were with game stage in mind meaning once you've reached rocket silo that's it. Good to know I was wrong.

Since you're going on the late game builds, does it mean concealed bot-based builds for maximum productivity in minimum space requirement?

[XXHendriX]

Looking forward to your transition to megabase tutorial :)

[smorcrux]

leaving a comment for the youtube algorithm.

[martinez]

Thx for the Video! I love the Masterclass!

[PhuongNguyen-zben]

Can you make a video about how to beaconize low density structure blueprint? I have trouble with end-game yellow science pack. Thank you!
