Hmm, I think you are right. Will definitely have to fix that before we start bringing iron ore trains in!

Ah, good point. I had not intended to break it, and I think there is still room to put long-handed inserters back in to fix it. However, I don’t intend to do any more research in the jumpstart base anyway!

Oh, I just saw you fixed the radar assembler at the end of the video.

Oh good catch. And thanks for the suggestion for the easy fix!

Exactly! Also, we’ll need some storage chests anyway just so the bots have someplace to put wood/stone/coal when they deconstruct trees and rocks. So this way we can build a single type of logistics chest (for now).

Hey, like I said, I will post a save file at the end of the series. I don’t like to post intermediate ones. Gotta leave *something* for everyone to do that’s playing along at home. ;)

Oh, yeah, I had been posting the blueprints in the earlier episodes where I was doing the designs. I can probably keep doing that even though we aren’t changing them anymore! Anyway, here’s the latest: factoriobin.com/post/oGKlEg0c

@@mysticfishgames thx

@@mysticfishgames is there a passability that you can make a self expanding base with a startup base something like you are doing now?:) it would be great 🫣

@@darknes5904 I think that's certainly possible, and something I've been mildly interested in. I haven't really gotten around to playing with the Recursive Blueprints mod, but I think it would be fun!

@@mysticfishgames is there a possibility to make this in vanilla without the moods?

Sure - I usually post save files at the end of a series.

@@mysticfishgames thank you for your dedication mystic fish - that said. It would not hurt if you would provide uswith an intermediary safe file. Would it:-)

Thanks! I was wondering about that (although I hadn't gotten around to investigating yet, since we have plenty of copper). I'll fix it in one of the upcoming episodes.

I have thought about it, and decided explicitly not to. I enjoy making the videos purely for the creative effort of it, and I feel like trying to chase monetization would make it less fun, or I'd have to make videos in ways other than what is most enjoyable for me. I have a day job that works just fine for me, too. But I appreciate the vote of confidence that you think I could monetize it! :)

@@mysticfishgames That makes perfect sense and I appreciate your creative effort. Thanks for sharing it with us.🤣

To be clear, what I primarily meant by saying it will be "fun for Future MysticFish" instead of "problems for Future MysticFish" was not really that there would be no problems, but rather that I was *really* looking forward to starting the playthrough, and anticipating it would be fun! I appreciate the vote of confidence, of course, but I would also be the first to say it's not realistic to expect we will actually be problem-free. :)

@@mysticfishgames "it's not realistic to expect we will actually be problem-free." Come on, where's your sense of misguided optimism? Don't be afraid to jinx yourself. Live dangerously. It's okay to have failures in your videos as long as they are interesting to watch.

I haven't used nanobots before, but I kind of like the early game with more manual work required. Makes me appreciate the later automation. :)

@@mysticfishgames fair enough, some people do view them as “cheating”. lol.

Yeah, I don't consider it cheating - I'm a firm believer that there's no wrong way to play! Maybe I'm weird, because I actually *like* the burner/bootstrapping phase!

Yeah, good call. I like playing with the lights, but not at the expense of visibility.

Rate Calculator, Factory Planner, Landfill Everywhere

@@mysticfishgames I only found the mod landfill everything - does it matter?

Rate Calculator: mods.factorio.com/mod/RateCalculator Factory Planner: mods.factorio.com/mod/factoryplanner Landfill Everything (looks like I typo’d the name above): mods.factorio.com/mod/LandfillEverything

I suppose I could have used red chests here with no problem, to be honest. I like to use yellow chests for malls because I can set filters on them and have bots “recycle” materials back to them if we deconstruct stuff, and then we use the recycled stuff before we produce new stuff. (Although to be honest, I should really use circuit conditions to set the max amounts rather than chest limits-I may fix that before the playthrough) We’ll also need yellow chests because construction/deconstruction may produce stone, coal, and wood from rocks and trees that are in the way of blueprints, and we’ll want to give the bots someplace to put that stuff. Yellow chests are a bit more universal then, and we can get away with just producing one type of logistic chest in the jumpstart mall.

@@mysticfishgames Makes sense, cheers!

If you have an assembler open and control-click on an empty slot in your inventory, it will load the assembler as much as possible out of your inventory.

Yeah, there is a pump that sends petroleum gas out that should prioritize that over turning it into solid fuel. Primarily this will be for the mall; everything else that needs it will have its own oil processing.
