Nuclear Series

Nuclear Series

In this Nuclear series I will show you how to setup a minimal waste nuclear power build using only base recipes in the game. We'll power 10 Nuclear Power Plants and take the 100 Uranium Waste generated from them to create Plutonium Fuel Rods and send them to the AWESOME Sink.

Top 30 Best Ways To Make Fuel

Top 30 Best Ways To Make Fuel

This article is about the Top 30 Best Ways To Make Fuel! Actually, there's only two ways but there's many variants of those ways. The purpose of this video and is to tell a story about how much building is required for each process and how much power each process creates, there are pros and cons to each solution.

100% Primed Power Start

100% Primed Power Start

This article shows you how to utilise a tripped power network to allow generators to become saturated before powering on.

Self Powered Drone Port

Self Powered Drone Port

Drones in Update 4 are a great way to transport resources across the map. However what if you wanted to transport from a remote location that does not have any power?

Easy, just use packaged fuel delivered to a drone port at that location and you can unpack it and use it to power fuel generators which in turn will power the drone ports and miners/extractors/packagers.

This video shows you how to do exactly this from the new Impure Uranium node added to the top of the mountain at the highest point of the map.

The Top 18 Best Ways To Make Fuel

The Top 18 Best Ways To Make Fuel

The amount of Fuel created from Crude Oil and it's by-products can vary greatly depending on what recipe combinations you use. This video is about telling a story of how many machines need to be built and how much power will be created.

Overclocking Power Generators

Overclocking Power Generators

Overclocking power generators is a misunderstood concept, however if you're keen to go out and get slugs for the power shards then you can reduce the amount of generators required by 50% for the same amount of power output.

Diluted Fuel Process

Diluted Fuel Process

Diluted Fuel is an alternate recipe that allows you to create more packaged fuel by combining Heavy Oil Residue with Packaged Water.

Geothermal Power

Geothermal Power

Geothermal Generators provide 200MW of FREE power per geyser you place them on. 

Fuel Power

Fuel Power

Unlocking the Extended Power Infrastructure milestone in the Hub unlocks the Fuel Generator and Fuel Power recipes in the refinery.

Monorail Train Technology

Monorail Train Technology

Trains are another way of transporting resources. While trains are simple in nature, their setup can get complicated if not planned. These episodes go through both a double-ended train and a train loop configuration as well as railway placement techniques.

Spawn Blocker

Spawn Blocker

Prevent creatures from respawning using this nifty technique.

Coal Power Tutorial

Coal Power Tutorial

Coal power is the first time you use pipes to move fluids in the game. It is the simplest form of automated power (apart from Geothermal) however if you don't set it up correctly you can end up with power outage situations that can be frustrating to resolve.

Critical Infrastructure Power

Critical Infrastructure Power

This article is about the power required to keep the machines running that provide resources to you critical infrastructure, like water extractors and miners.

Caterium

Caterium

Caterium is an ore that you need to research in the MAM, it provides many technologies separate to the HUB milestones.

Sulfur

Sulfur

Sulfur is an ore that is used in explosives, steel production and power.

Biomass and Chainsaw

Biomass and Chainsaw

Biomass is used as a power source in the early stages of the game. This article shows the different biomass sources and how they can be automated to make solid biomass. The chainsaw enables faster collecting of biomass material and also enables Obstacle Clearing.

Power Outages

Power Outages

Understanding power outages and why they occur and things you need to look out for.

Power Poles

Power Poles

A collection of power pole tips.
