Any excess shiny uranium once the power plant is satisfied gets turned into nuclear train fuel. Takes in uranium ore, refines it, saves up enough shiny uranium to start Kovarex, then makes nuclear powerplant fuel. Here's 'Oak Ridge', my most recent iteration of a nuclear processing design. Typically, I'll have the train outpost feeding the wall also have an artillery battery, and a fun pastime is to drop a couple shells in a bunch of biter camps, then watch them all swarm towards the wall. With all the weapons upgrades researched, this can mow down behemoth biters as fast as they come. The 3:1 ratio gives good overlapping fields of fire to the flamethrowers while keeping the power pole wiring simple and easily tileable. Behind that are flamethrower and laser turrets. Belt of uranium ammo is fed by burner inserters, which means this should keep firing even in a power outage (have I ever had a power outage long enough for that to be necessary? no, but that's beside the point). Here is my late-game 'lol come at me bro' biter defense wall, also tileable. Here's a T junction that lines up with it, I'm particularly happy with how this design turned out. The length between signals is sufficient to let me run 2 locomotive, 8 car trains if I want (currently they're all 1x4s though). I made that into a blueprint, with the power poles and signals very carefully lined up to make it tileable. Here is an example straight-line segment. My current main save, which I have 'only' 30 hours in, I decided to ridiculously future-proof my train network from the start, and run 4-lane rails everywhere. I think on a future playthrough I may go out of my way to arrange the bus in Roy G.

The ideal ratio is 4 reactors, 48 heat exchangers, 83 steam turbines and 5.Off to the left is an assembly producing artillery shells and feeding them to logistic robots.ĭidn't aim to have the belts look like a rainbow but I really like it. This is a site to share blueprints for the game factorio.Ī 1gw unregulated setup uses 8 u238 every 200 sec, meaning one every 25 sec.

I made this one because i discovered that heat pipes where losing 11°c with every segment, making full use impossible if not done properly. Hello there, i wanted to share with you my design of nuclear power since there's still a lot to explore. When this is true, the reactor will stop consuming fuel/energy when the temperature has reached the maximum. This design is tileable with a continuous line of fuel inbound and used fuel outbound. The design can be tiled to the left by overlapping the up underground yellow belt.įor a 2xn reactor (the most efficient one in vanilla), the heat exchanger count maxes out at 16 per reactor and the turbine count is 27 per reactor.įactorio is a good game because this theory of equilibrium is imbedded deep into the core game design. Infinitely tileable nuclear reactor design. I then extended the design horizontally out to 130 reactors and 72 exchange columns to verify that it works.

there is also limited support for the 0.14 blueprint mods blueprint string, foreman, and killkrog's blueprint manager. My design uses an intermediate chest with the inserter stack size set to 1. Once the centrifuge cycle is complete the three chests and combinators automagically move 40 glowing nuggets back into the centrifuge and pass the surplus along the yellow belt where it. Your innate reaction is to establish equilibrium by getting coal. Here is my 10x reactor plant which produces 1.4 gw of power. This one is a 4 core design (480 mw max).įind blueprints for the video game factorio.

In stage three, even a small uranium patch will yield enough nuclear fuel that you can run a 1gw (8 reactor) setup for hundreds of hours. I came up with this reactor design after looking at the heat exchanger and turbine requirements of a nuclear reactor as the number of reactors increased. There are two lights to inform you at a glance the amount of fuel cells and steam. It is a simple 4 reactor build focused on optimal ratios for water/steam.

This should ideally be built long a straight shore line. The control logic is the same as my 4x reactor. A bunch of extra u238 should now be going into your logistics network or into storage chests.įalse whether the reactor should use fuel_glow_color from the fuel item prototype as light color and tint for working_light_picture.
