@t3st1221
@t3st1221 3 ай бұрын
Instead of producing so many solar panels and having to find space for them, some tier 1 efficiency modules in the electric furnaces would save you more power for cheaper (and it's not that much worse than solar panel in miners). A single solar panel produces 42 kW on average and cost the equivalent of 27.5 copper and 40 iron plates. A single t1 efficiency module cost the equivalent of 32.5 copper, 15 iron and 10 plastic and will save you 30% electric consumption so in a furnace (180kW at full speed) it saves 54kW and in a miner (90kW) it saves 27kW. Reducing consumption with efficiency modules also reduce pollution so it reduces the amount of bitter attacks and evolution speed, making modules even better when compared to solar.
@Mersoh
@Mersoh 3 ай бұрын
Good point, I never even considered using efficiency modules! I honestly thought I would have enough time to just scale everything up without having to consider modules right up until the moment I ran out of iron. I might not have even run out of iron if I used efficiency modules now that you mention it 🤔 I would've probably been able to smelt a lot more if I planned ahead better!
@Strait_Raider
@Strait_Raider 2 ай бұрын
I think that worrying about pollution might be a somewhat moot point. Efficiency mods in electric furnaces is a great idea, but for this challenge I assume you are going to be speed modding your miners, which means that they are going to be dwarfing any other pollution you could make. Even running this challenge with mostly coal-fired steel furnaces it was still my miners that were the problem, not my furnaces.

Well people do 100% achievements in ~4:30. There's an achievement for 30 million green chips, which requires 45 million copper plates (1.5 copper plates per chip). at 7 minutes a day that's 38 in game days. Can you make 1 million plates? shouldn't be that difficult really, since your not also doing lazy bastard or any of the other achievements.

@@Mersoh One of the biggest things is making their stuff expandable. Lots of people were calling your base spaghetti because it was pretty disorganized. A lot of the time you were running very... suboptimal smelting setups. For example, early on, you very commonly ran half a belt into a setup with around a dozen smelters, but the basic smelters need 24 per belt lane. You also pretty commonly fed a full copper belt into one side of a belt.

This challenge could have been significantly easier if you hadn't limited yourself on space so early on. also, storing all that copper wasn't technically required either, you could have just destroyed the chests with grenades to delete all the copper inside. Entertaining video either way.

Then a little ways away I've set up a large line of requester chests with a daisy chain of inserter+regular chests after them, and had the bots worry about that... for some time. It's also scalable, just build another inserter+chest down the line!

This inspired me to give this a try because it seemed really fun to focus solely on one item. I was able to get 4.5 million copper in 100 days! Default settings and world generation and the same mods you used. The key thing for me was realizing that... I could just stop at green science (and military science). The more you can strip your demands down to bare minimums the better it gets. Steel furnaces smelt just as fast as electric ones (sans modules), so the only thing you're *really* missing out on is tier 2 modules for the miners and the second mining productivity tech. Meanwhile you get to skip blue science, and save all the production associated with it. Solar panels are also a waste of time IMO because by far the majority of your pollution is coming from moduled miners. Solar takes so long to set up, and you can skip sulfur, batteries, and other tech/production. I had intended to skip petroleum entirely too until I realized how easy it would be to get quick plastic and how good even tier 1 speed modules for mining would be, plus solid fuel wound up being key for my prodigious fuel consumption and poor coal patches (plus flamethrowers coming in clutch). All that enabled me to start ramping up production way earlier and by day 25 I was producing about 3000 plates/min, 6000 around day 45, and finishing the game at 18,000 plates/minute. The biggest problem wound up being biters after production reached around 10,000 plates/m. If you're interested I can share you the savegame.
