Upgrading Coal Power
This guide follows on from the Coal Power 101 guide, the focus here is about expanding coal power, in particular using overclocking and underclocking.
The message I hope to convey is by planning your coal power builds from the start, you can easily upgrade their power output with minimal effort.
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
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
This article shows you how to utilise a tripped power network to allow generators to become saturated before powering on.
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 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 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 is an alternate recipe that allows you to create more packaged fuel by combining Heavy Oil Residue with Packaged Water.
Geothermal Power
Geothermal Generators provide 200MW of FREE power per geyser you place them on.
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
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
Prevent creatures from respawning using this nifty technique.
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 is an ore that you need to research in the MAM, it provides many technologies separate to the HUB milestones.
Sulfur
Sulfur is an ore that is used in explosives, steel production and power.
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
Understanding power outages and why they occur and things you need to look out for.
Power Poles
A collection of power pole tips.
