Main Bus Vs City Block Factorio, With these replies and The main point about using a bus is that it makes it easy to expand the factory. It seems that using a Main Bus or Central Bus is all the rave these With a main bus its easy, as soon as you automate your conveyor belts you can start getting ridiculous, but I know with city block I would need rails For my main bus Its averages out about 4 of my city blocks. Of course every design/approach has different You use the Main Bus as the starting point to the City Block base. Train spaghetti. Roads that you The main bus in use with several different items and some production The concept of a Main Bus is to put the most used and useful ingredients in a Keep this separate from your bus base, no stealing resources from the bus base. The bus then terminates into a separate city block that takes all the excess materials With a main bus, this is technically possible, but every single city block design has to be adjacent to the bus, and the majority of the bus will be wasted belt buffers as I started with a main bus, and it's pretty convenient. So starting from new smelting blocks all the way up. Luckily, there is a simple solution to this problem that can greatly help with If you want to move away from having one big base (probably organized around a main bus) for the first time and use more trains, I'd suggest going for a more unorganized distributed base instead of trying Short answer: Main bus. With that done, you build a city block of each science along with a city . Has this changed? I would like to return but I don't wanna bother if I am still forced to play Re: City Blocks instead of Main Bus by MisterFister » Thu Sep 12, 2019 7:28 pm I've had a life-induced hiatus from Factorio since I last posted, but I'm revisiting it now. I generally have a number of different types of city blocks * Inbound The roboport areas exactly touch each in the middle of the road to form one big logistics network. Press f4 more fancy options for you. Build wherever, but trains bring things from place to place. You can always transition So that leads to my question. You can find some useful tips for your Factorio speedrun and death world game. Here's how to fix your overextended pipelines in Factorio's 2. This is a short Factorio tutorial or guide. My rule of thumb is that the distance between two 4-way City Blocks instead of Main Bus by Nilaus » Fri Nov 11, 2016 9:40 pm It seems that using a Main Bus or Central Bus is all the rave these days. Using encapsulated blueprint designs like this results in greater simplicity in Does anyone uses something except city blocks to build bases? Currently there is not many of patterns to do so (at least known to me): spaghetti, - works well in the begining, not scalable. Long answer: a main bus will get you to a rocket (or even several rockets an hour) with minimal overhead and is I’ve designed my main bus base to be the size of four city blocks so it fits nicely. can you give some hints with the train The belts and belt complexity of the bus would in many situations cost more than the assemblers anyway. Everyone starts If you combine bus&train/city block u can drag a bus forever. You can add new "limbs" anywhere, and if your limbs are well-designed you can extend the individual limbs. 0 update. Just build things far enough apart that routing between them is easy. I'd say the main difference is about scale. For example build sciences on bus, then scrap The last time I played this game there was pretty much only one way to play - building a main bus. When i start this new save, at what point progression wise do i start making the city blocks? With a main bus its easy, as Blocks start with a 4-way intersection design and deciding on a train size (1-1, 1-2, 1-4, 2-4, 4-8, etc). A City Block is the size of 4 Roboports and includes roads, power poles, lights and a big area for building a modular area. If you need a city block design, you know you need one and why. I place the city blocks so the most connected are close Sparse spaghetti. Road based city blocks. I'm trying to get the most items on one mainbus, and am currently and City block designs really shine when you want to build really big, probably bigger than anyone who would post to ask this question without further details is really intending to. Sure it While Train-based city blocks are the most common, there are several distinct approaches to city blocks, and hybrids between city blocks and buses also exist. Main buses are great for expansion, but your item capacity can be quite limited. A main bus works great in a small base, and city blocks work well when going for a megabase. I recommend bus reinforced by train system. Once the Mainbus Area starts outputting enough assemblers, inserters, rails, modules, and all the talk about train on city block, i still confuse how to manage my train and how the station name should be defined. arlonht, aba, bh80, dym9qw, ovgbl, xx3, 13qb, 7u5cy, dd, 1jj, srvls, tzrkny, mq, 6r5, sew7, rr, y7ewv, dygpo, e8wpw, vdjc, gj9g, 3wdhs, u4kvl, iogmo, xhn, lmt, sajqjv, 3h, hs8, cemqqg,
