greetings and welcome to another
00:00:01.910 00:00:01.920 factorio tutorial I'm Katherine of sky
00:00:04.519 00:00:04.529 and in this video I'd like to show you
00:00:06.289 00:00:06.299 how to set up steam power for the early
00:00:09.259 00:00:09.269 game so the first thing that you're
00:00:10.940 00:00:10.950 going to need is a coal field which is
00:00:12.919 00:00:12.929 providing you some coal which I have
00:00:14.810 00:00:14.820 coming in on a conveyor belt line here
00:00:17.000 00:00:17.010 now the next thing we're going to need
00:00:18.920 00:00:18.930 is a pump and I have I can make 25 over
00:00:23.060 00:00:23.070 here but I happen to have one in my
00:00:24.830 00:00:24.840 inventory so we need to get this set up
00:00:28.009 00:00:28.019 so let's put this over here or well
00:00:30.800 00:00:30.810 let's put it over here why not
00:00:32.150 00:00:32.160 and I like to leave just a little bit of
00:00:35.209 00:00:35.219 space from the shore line so that I can
00:00:36.950 00:00:36.960 walk in between the pump and the steam
00:00:40.970 00:00:40.980 column so after you've put your pump
00:00:43.430 00:00:43.440 down you may only have enough materials
00:00:47.540 00:00:47.550 to make one or two boilers and that's
00:00:49.490 00:00:49.500 just fine
00:00:50.150 00:00:50.160 so I like to do a pattern of basically
00:00:54.560 00:00:54.570 two together and then the first one is
00:00:56.479 00:00:56.489 separate and I'll show you why in just a
00:00:57.920 00:00:57.930 second
00:00:58.459 00:00:58.469 right so these boilers have a side input
00:01:02.119 00:01:02.129 here where the water goes in and as you
00:01:03.889 00:01:03.899 can see this one has water and I have a
00:01:05.870 00:01:05.880 gap here and these don't have water so
00:01:08.090 00:01:08.100 we need to connect those with a regular
00:01:09.890 00:01:09.900 pipe so that they all have water now the
00:01:13.280 00:01:13.290 temperature is 15 degrees C and that's
00:01:15.530 00:01:15.540 what it comes out from the the lake or
00:01:18.530 00:01:18.540 the ocean whatever you want to call it
00:01:20.170 00:01:20.180 and to get the temperature up we're
00:01:23.359 00:01:23.369 going to have to feed this with some
00:01:24.980 00:01:24.990 coal but before we get to that let's
00:01:27.200 00:01:27.210 hook up the steam engines each boiler
00:01:30.530 00:01:30.540 can produce enough steam to power two
00:01:33.800 00:01:33.810 steam engines and it's an exact ratio
00:01:36.230 00:01:36.240 which is very very nice so we're gonna
00:01:37.850 00:01:37.860 put these two in a row like this and
00:01:40.490 00:01:40.500 then can we walk through nope okay we're
00:01:43.490 00:01:43.500 gonna get our power poles and at this
00:01:45.889 00:01:45.899 point you will be having wooden power
00:01:47.330 00:01:47.340 poles and basically you'll extend them
00:01:49.639 00:01:49.649 up this way to connect the steam engines
00:01:51.770 00:01:51.780 alright you can press Q which is that
00:01:54.020 00:01:54.030 the pipette or picker tool to just grab
00:01:58.280 00:01:58.290 it from your inventory it doesn't even
00:01:59.690 00:01:59.700 need to be on your hotbar okay and then
00:02:02.240 00:02:02.250 here we're gonna have another couple of
00:02:04.179 00:02:04.189 power poles
00:02:06.410 00:02:06.420 right so the back of these boilers if
00:02:10.219 00:02:10.229 you turn on alt view with alt the
00:02:13.190 00:02:13.200 detailed view you can see that water
00:02:15.800 00:02:15.810 goes in these ports on the sides where
00:02:18.500 00:02:18.510 they're connected to each other and then
00:02:20.630 00:02:20.640 this produces a little puff and that
00:02:22.610 00:02:22.620 puff is steam and these steam engines
00:02:26.330 00:02:26.340 will only take steam they do not take
00:02:28.640 00:02:28.650 water as in the previous versions of the
00:02:30.680 00:02:30.690 game all right so these guys need to be
00:02:33.979 00:02:33.989 hooked up to something that uses energy
00:02:36.140 00:02:36.150 or else they'll keep flashing forever so
00:02:38.449 00:02:38.459 put down something or your entire
00:02:39.920 00:02:39.930 Factory I'm just gonna put down a radar
00:02:42.320 00:02:42.330 for now and so they've stopped flashing
00:02:44.330 00:02:44.340 yellow but the radar is now flashing
00:02:47.420 00:02:47.430 with a red lightning bolt thing that
00:02:50.240 00:02:50.250 means there is no electricity getting to
00:02:52.400 00:02:52.410 this guy so we need to fill these guys
00:02:54.860 00:02:54.870 with coal or some other fuel source so
00:02:57.500 00:02:57.510 that they start making steam heating up
00:02:59.960 00:02:59.970 well heating up the water and then
00:03:01.729 00:03:01.739 they'll make steam we have a coal mine
00:03:04.040 00:03:04.050 here alternatively you could grab coal
00:03:07.850 00:03:07.860 from your inventory and feed it into
00:03:10.400 00:03:10.410 this machine and as you can see the
00:03:12.949 00:03:12.959 boiler is heating up it's at a
00:03:14.960 00:03:14.970 temperature of 165 degrees and these
00:03:17.390 00:03:17.400 guys are both running so that's really
00:03:20.330 00:03:20.340 really nice but when you want to get
00:03:22.490 00:03:22.500 automation going on go ahead and bring a
00:03:25.220 00:03:25.230 belt of coal up so you can feed your
00:03:29.360 00:03:29.370 boilers this way okay and we're going to
00:03:33.830 00:03:33.840 use I like to use burner inserters
00:03:35.740 00:03:35.750 because they will never run out of
00:03:37.729 00:03:37.739 energy as long as there's coal on the
00:03:39.229 00:03:39.239 line that can feed themselves and also
00:03:41.569 00:03:41.579 feed the boilers and that is more than
00:03:44.330 00:03:44.340 enough to get all of the steam engines
00:03:45.949 00:03:45.959 running now with these simple steam
00:03:49.400 00:03:49.410 engines and boilers they automatically
00:03:51.800 00:03:51.810 tune themselves to use up only as much
00:03:54.650 00:03:54.660 fuel as they need so you don't have to
00:03:57.020 00:03:57.030 worry about building too many or
00:03:58.400 00:03:58.410 whatever because it's just gonna tune
00:03:59.720 00:03:59.730 itself to that if we look at our
00:04:02.870 00:04:02.880 electric network information we are
00:04:05.479 00:04:05.489 producing 300 kilowatts but that is a
00:04:08.330 00:04:08.340 tiny fraction of what we could be doing
00:04:10.759 00:04:10.769 if we had more draw on the system
00:04:13.780 00:04:13.790 so like I said the we're not gonna keep
00:04:16.810 00:04:16.820 taking coal as you can see it's burning
00:04:18.819 00:04:18.829 very very slowly because of the very
00:04:22.780 00:04:22.790 little need of steam now what is the
00:04:26.530 00:04:26.540 proper ratio for a full setup of this
00:04:29.260 00:04:29.270 you need one pump 220 boilers and a
00:04:34.750 00:04:34.760 total of 40 steam engines now the
00:04:38.560 00:04:38.570 easiest way to do this is to use the new
00:04:41.260 00:04:41.270 blueprint functionality and I'd like to
00:04:44.110 00:04:44.120 show you that you press B and you can
00:04:46.090 00:04:46.100 grab a new blueprint here and it'll come
00:04:49.090 00:04:49.100 in your hand and you just drag it over
00:04:51.100 00:04:51.110 the area you want to copy which is gonna
00:04:52.900 00:04:52.910 be this area and you can plop it down
00:04:56.939 00:04:56.949 I'm gonna take off my robots because I'm
00:04:59.710 00:04:59.720 at a fairly advanced state of the game
00:05:01.779 00:05:01.789 at present but I just want to show you
00:05:05.200 00:05:05.210 guys how to do this so basically we're
00:05:07.990 00:05:08.000 going to create a blueprint here and if
00:05:12.250 00:05:12.260 you have mods the early game robots will
00:05:13.990 00:05:14.000 put it down for you and if not it's just
00:05:15.790 00:05:15.800 a handy guide for when you want to do it
00:05:19.330 00:05:19.340 yourself so how many is this this is
00:05:20.890 00:05:20.900 only 38 boilers so we're gonna need
00:05:23.020 00:05:23.030 another half half a thing so let's go
00:05:26.379 00:05:26.389 and put this last blueprint down where
00:05:30.370 00:05:30.380 did it go there goes okay and we're just
00:05:34.540 00:05:34.550 gonna cut this off to half we don't need
00:05:37.810 00:05:37.820 this right okay
00:05:39.939 00:05:39.949 so this is basically how your entire
00:05:43.060 00:05:43.070 thing might look okay we can check how
00:05:47.230 00:05:47.240 many of these machines that we have if
00:05:51.100 00:05:51.110 we select them with the blueprint
00:05:52.360 00:05:52.370 planner we don't have to actually
00:05:53.529 00:05:53.539 blueprint them it shows 40 steam engines
00:05:56.200 00:05:56.210 and 20 boilers which is absolutely
00:05:59.200 00:05:59.210 perfect and if you want to get this
00:06:01.770 00:06:01.780 going you can just you know follow the
00:06:04.060 00:06:04.070 blueprint as you want to go along here
00:06:06.189 00:06:06.199 or you can just use early-game robots as
00:06:09.700 00:06:09.710 I said if you'd like to use mods so I
00:06:13.390 00:06:13.400 will just go ahead and magically put
00:06:16.029 00:06:16.039 this all down with my robots there they
00:06:18.100 00:06:18.110 go and all of these guys are soon going
00:06:21.909 00:06:21.919 to be chugging along
00:06:23.640 00:06:23.650 and using stuff of course we don't have
00:06:24.900 00:06:24.910 nearly enough draw on the system but you
00:06:27.330 00:06:27.340 can see that the steam engines are
00:06:29.219 00:06:29.229 moving basically this is water limited
00:06:32.159 00:06:32.169 throughput here so it's one one array
00:06:36.870 00:06:36.880 like this uses all of what an offshore
00:06:40.200 00:06:40.210 pump can offer now there's an
00:06:42.060 00:06:42.070 alternative solution if you have
00:06:44.700 00:06:44.710 insufficient space you can make this
00:06:47.610 00:06:47.620 shorter these are going to be 20 engines
00:06:51.270 00:06:51.280 and 10 boilers across copy that over
00:06:53.969 00:06:53.979 instead and just place it down like this
00:06:57.740 00:06:57.750 and that way all of these will get fed
00:07:00.750 00:07:00.760 that way so this is a little bit more
00:07:02.189 00:07:02.199 compact design if you don't have a huge
00:07:04.080 00:07:04.090 amount of room to the left all right
00:07:05.790 00:07:05.800 well thank you so very much for joining
00:07:07.350 00:07:07.360 me I hope you have found this useful
00:07:08.870 00:07:08.880 take care of yourselves and each other
00:07:10.920 00:07:10.930 and I'll see you next time
