![]() If everything worked correctly, all the inserters should be pulling plates out of the furnaces. Finally, run power to all the inserters using electric poles from the closest active powerline. Place one inserter in between every furnace and conveyor belt in the line. Holding down left click, draw a line of belts parallel to the furnaces, in either direction. Have the inserter's arrow pointing away from the miner. Return to the iron smelting furnaces and place an inserter on the opposite side of the furnace as the miner. To start automating the production of more complicated items, handcraft around 100 conveyor belts. Once the automation research process is completed, the player will gain access to crafting the assembler. The automation's progress meter will increase, and the player will be notified upon completion. Then, build and place a lab in the powered area of an electric pole connected to the player's steam engines, and place the ten research packs into the lab. Open the inventory and begin crafting at least ten red research packs. For the first round of research, select the Automation option. By hitting "T" on the keyboard, the player can view the available research options and their respective cost in research packs. Factorio takes it a step further, requiring materials to be used to craft research packs. Like Minecraft's ore & tool system, players will need to use more valuable materials to craft better tools, gear, and equipment. Click on any electric pole to see the power production and usage. Fill the boilers with coal, and the engines will start making electricity! Connect a powerline from the electric pole used for the steam engines and run it back to the raw material mines. Run a pipe from there to one of the boilers. Choose a water source and place your offshore pump on the shoreline. The player now needs to run water to their boilers. For the engines to output electricity, they need to be within an electric pole's coverage area the player can place an electric pole between both sets of steam engines to achieve this. ![]() Connect a steam engine to each of the boilers' steam outputs, then another on each steam engine. Connect a pipe to the boiler's water passthrough (press "Alt." to view inputs and outputs), then connect the second boiler to the pipe, ensuring both are facing the same direction. There is no right way, but resources deplete, so at some point, coal will need to be "imported" to the player's power station.īegin by placing one boiler in the chosen location for your power station. The player must now decide if they want to bring the coal to the boilers or the boilers to the coal. Just like in Rust, power generator placement is crucial to avoid power outages due to pesky enemies. Handcraft some pipes, underground pipes, and small electric poles as well. The player will need one offshore pump to get the water, one or two boilers, and two steam engines per boiler. It is now time to find a good water source for the player's offshore pump for steam power production. One or two will due until the stone, and coal mining is automated.Įverything is mining and smelting now, so the player has some time to complete more tasks. Once the player has a decent amount of Iron plates in production, they should create the same miner-furnace pair on their selected copper node. This layout will make conveyor belts easy to run. Repeat this process until there are several pairs of miners and furnaces, collecting more fuel and stone as needed. Place more miners and furnaces next to the first iron miner creating two lines, one of the miners and one of the furnaces. The player should use the stone gathered and the plates manufactured to build more miners, using stone to make stone furnaces. They are faster to destroy and yield a significantly greater amount of stone then hand mining a coal or stone patch. The fastest way to gather stone and fuel necessary to craft and power furnaces and miners is to find rocks and huge rocks. Like the Hopper's automation function in Minecraft, the player is now free to explore and gather more materials while their machines make plates.
