@DudeCorner - Do you mean that it's a big tech to build? This is literally the smallest compressed crafting system design possible. Although you can use communal (large) silos for resource storage, if you want to reduce the number of scrappers.

Or do you mean that crafting blocks takes a long time? Again, this compact layout of component factories is fairly close to optimal for crafting times. Provided it's used correctly, with all scrappers stocked up.

You can get a crafting AI bug, if you've added the fabricators before the component factories, though. That will block exotic component crafting most the time time. So always make sure to remove, then re-attach the fabricators (of any crafting tech) before using it.

It barely works for me... Maybe make a version that takes a little less time to complete

YES YES YES!!!!! :D MORE LANES IS ALWAYS BETTER FOR SPEED!!! :D

@Addy - No problem at all. Go for it! I made a triple conveyor line CFS base by going more 3D, so you can check this out if/when you're done with your own ideas: https://steamproxy-script.pipiskins.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1200449413

i actually found this base in my campaign quite awhile before i even knew it was a thing lol but i do have to say there is 1 thing that bothered me but its just because of my own personal taste with fabrication/scrapping bases needing to work fast so im trying my best to modify it with 2 lanes :) hope your not insulted by my choice?

Thanks @Liquid Monkey, that's very validating. Although I didn't expect this Component Factory setup to be so near optimal for crafting higher end item's, too. Kinda disappointing, heh. (Although I do still have addition bulk crafter designs up my sleeve.)

(Your name is somewhat familiar, by the way, but I guess you didn't used to go by the name "Liquid Ape" in Lord of Ultima, years ago...?)

I spent nearly 20 hours trying to build the perfect crafting setup, using this as a reference. I cannot improve upon perfection. I now run 3 of these pumping out all of the blocks I need, with no added lag. Awesome!

Thanks @R0ck3t101.

love ur vids man

@Electr1cLASer - you certainly can just swap out the scrappers on this tech for GeoCorp, yes.

It's not much of an improvement in capacity, oddly, because just one GeoCorp resource block hovering above them gets in the way of being able to click more in, manually. So you'd have to refill the scrappers just as often, but it takes fewer clicks.

is it possible to make a version with geo-corp scrappers to make it less time consuming to load up?

Just a masterpiece of greatness!!!
Love it. Keep up the good work!

Thanks @Lone Gansel. Always nice to know it's been helpful.

Amazing build sir! Both this guide and your Let's Play videos were extremely helpful in helping me understand how to progress in the game. Thanks for putting in the effort! :)

I do have a 170mph Venture craft (basically 20 Zero Propellers lashed together inside a GSO shield/repair bubble).

But the best way to do it would be to take an 'AI' plane that is self stabalising (via hover tricks) and just leave it flying AFK (with shift pressed down).

Flying a really long way would make for a cool time lapse, but I'm not sure what my viewers would make of doing this just for the sake of it. (I mean, there's nothing inherently different about far away, once you're over about 5km from 0,0.)

maybe you could try get to 1 000 000, 1 000 000 in youre next video, that would be super cool! im trying to make a super fast stable plane but i want over 175mph but got 140mph, but im still happy and think it would be cool if you did it ;)

141Km journey, eh? Sounds like something that would need a montage with music fromt eh Pretenders ("I would walk 500miles", etc).

i found a place with much stuff a few days ago and now im traveling to 100 000, 100 000 :) im currently at around 80 000, 80 000

Mining time. Go find a nice spot to settle in for a few hours. :-)

i finaly got this now :D now i just need much recources

Başarılı

i didn't see it before now but i meant made and not mage xD and im getting pretty close to get this now :) now im using a little good tech ive put in the workshop if you guys wanto try it, i think youll like it ZeroGravitas

Thanks. I put a fair bit of thought into it, to be a simple, usable start point for Compact Fabrication System crafters. More high end versions to come, beyond the already formidable "CFS Godzilla". If the game's crafting AI can handle it...

This is one of the best techs i've seen yet

It's fun to have objectives.

Are you crafting the blocks you're able to? E.g. using builds like my crafting techs from earlier episodes?: https://steamproxy-script.pipiskins.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1300233157

im on a mission on getting this in campaign with the other awsome techs youve mage ZeroGravitas :) im getting closer and got luck with the invaders giving me good stuff.

huh good to know the factory binding issue just needs an extra refinery to solve

@Façade - it definitely doesn't get stuck. I showed it crafting Avalanche launchers in the video (they have Seed AIs in them). And actually explain the minimum Component Factory requirements in a tutorial at 20m12s https://youtu.be/NwX5D9VzMrM?t=20m12s

There are various bugs that might get in your way, still, assuming you have the Dongles laid out correctly (e.g. lack of a Refinery = failing to schedule components). See my crafting guide: https://steamproxy-script.pipiskins.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1191458767

this would definatly get stuck makeing any part with exotic components I have done some testing and the only way to auto craft exotic components is with 7 factories: 1 exotic, 1 complex, 2 advanced (can share dongle), and 3 basic
