Factorio Base Tour - Swolar's 20k SPM at 60 UPS Vanilla Gigabase

All fine with cheating the construction of the base, but at least have the raw resources come from outside of it, like a normal base would have. Cause I bet if you can put miners straight into machines and have an optimal configuration just spawning resources wherever you please you can get away with a lot more than having to travel huge distances to bring said resources in and dealing with all its logistics.

bro how the fuck do people make any sense out of circuits i struggled with train signals so much man

Dislike the copy/paste/ore spawned in. Also dislike the mixed use of belts/bots.

If this still runs at 60UPS how much headroom is there to go even bigger could thsi be expanded to 25k maybe 30k SPM?

Can someone explain to me why this megabase has direct iron ore mining to iron plate smelting, but does not have direct iron ore mining to iron plate smelting with inserters to steel plate smelting? Isn't it more entities with moving the ore to train and then the train to boxes and then into iron plate smelting?

I'm still running this base, it's still my favorite and still runs perfectly well even with the 1.1 update. So far I've launched nearly 1.3 million rockets and have run it about 1000 hours with a total save playtime of nearly 1100 hours.

"20k SPM at 60 UPS" I'm not sure about my potato...

Cheating, lol. hows it cheating it's an option within the game hahaha

I find this impressive, but I think I was more impressed with his 10k base. That felt more 'legit' to me. I admire those who understand circuit networks this well, but it felt too rigid. All the same, well done on the math and sheer output, but he 1300 hours one was badass - wonder if you could ever get the creator to talk about the base a bit.

I see a lot if not most mega bases use Solar. Is that cause it's actually better in the long run on a large scale? Or is it purely for the higher frame rate?

Also, I noticed there's no military/gray science in this map. You'll have to spawn in the Spidertron with a console command haha.

This is the best 20k SPM Vanilla map I can find. I downloaded the save yesterday and it's launched over 2,500 rockets and it still retains its 20k per minute, no complete stops or stalls like several other maps I've downloaded in the past have done. I also don't consider the spawned in resource patches as cheating, heck, you all could have made them contain 999T per patch and I'd have not minded haha. It really keeps you at 60 FPS/UPS also. Great job with this map!

It is cheating!

does anyone know how to download these savefiles on these vids i have tried but i cant find the savefiles folder on my computer for factorio

It's exciting to see someone else build the way I do (minus the hand-placed resources.) 💖 This is what a "modular" base has always been to me too.

Doing the modules based on the product always felt like I was chasing my tail. Want to ramp up from 5k to 6k? Ugh. It'll likely involve going around and refactoring all of your builds to one degree or another. Contrast that with merely stamping down additional balanced modules like these. 😁

Swolar's level of optimization and attention to detail is impressive. 👍

It means "not equal".

It's the same minutes of disclaimer every time ore is spawned in, but the sentence you want is "The goal with this base was the design, not the grind." and you're done. It's the same idea when people decide to have biters on/off, but that's not a big deal either.
