This is a good basis to go green and target washing for geodes.Achievements and end screens (without more context).Pictures of IRL things that remind you of Factorio.Pictures of where you are playing Factorio.Posts of the following have become too common and will be removed: We feel this is a good balance to keep the subreddit from becoming just an advertising platform. However, 12 crystallizers is still a good number. 'Theoretically' because you're chem plants will not work full-time bause you'll need too much slag->min water for your algae farms. This gives you theoretically about 117 mineral sludge.

A good intermediate step would be 48 electrolysers, 4 chem plants to dissolve the slag in H2SO4, 7 filtering machines.

I'm not sure if you should priortise this over the previous point. The metal yield of your electrolysers will increase dramatically.ģ. Use the sulphur for H2SO4 and switch to the filtering process. Burn the rest, there is better use for the chem plant.

Your washing plant gives you free sulphur. You also need washing before you can do the next step.Ģ. However, you still need to priortise algae processing 2 in order to get your energy production going. The first setup (slag into crushed stone into min water into mixed ores) is really inefficient. (Cu pipe are no option from an aesthetic point of view anyways.ġ. This seems tempting but stone pipes are cheaper and you have better use of the copper soon enough. This is quite an invest but the energy efficiency will pay out really quickly.Ġ. 10 washing plants produce more landfill than I tought. Increase the energy and electrolyser setups step-by-step as you get more metal.Ģ. Once you have about 24-30 electrolysers, still use 50% for landfill.

After your first 4 electrolysers that should be set up for manual operation, start setting up an automated setup with your favourite design. After your first 30 minutes, you've probably figured out that you'll need lots of landfill. No point bothering inserting it up front. Turn this into landfill or stone->bricks. Your metal processing produces crushed stone and later also slag. All other energy options are way down the tech tree (plants -> vegetable oil -> fuel oil).Ġ. As soon as you need more, double the setup. This should be sufficient for the 'good intermediate step' below. That'll give you more fibers and more fibers is more coal. This will build up green algae in the farm that I regularily collect and supply to my wooden board setup that I mentioned in 1.

One 90° inserter from the farm to an assembler is just not enough.A 'final' length is 18 farms into 6 charcoal furnaces. Once you have green algae 2, setup a line of farms with direct insertion into assemblers turning the stuff into fibers.You can put this on one side of a single belt with assembers processing the stuff and putting the wood pellets on the other lane. Turn them slowly but surely all into wooden boards.Ģ. Hand-craft wood bricks and turn them into coal for a quick auxilary power (2 steam engines). Once you have one algae farm, set up mixed algae farming and an assembler to turn the green ones into fibers. The wind turbines are just enough to power the first 4 electrolysers.ġ. But there is no need to let your factory build up landfill or plates while you binge your way through you favourite soap.Ġ. I was told that sea block is designed to go slow.

I'd like share a few insights that might help you moving a little faster than I did (as a guide). It took me quite a while to get Sea Block going.
