In this Swag Plays Factorio episode, I spend most of the time waiting for research to complete and chatting. Towards the end, I decide to tackle the railway, radically altering my research queue to get started. I even begin laying track for my first line but run out of time. Will this railway work, and will I avoid a death by train? Keep watching to find out!

Swag Plays Factorio S2 E51: Power Up, Efficiency Boost, and the Train Dilemma
In this episode of Swag Plays Factorio, I ramp up my solar power network by adding more solar cells and accumulators. I also optimize a couple of chemical plants for better efficiency. To ensure I have enough resources for the rocket launch, I check my inventory and plan a route to the nearest copper field. But here’s the twist: I need an electric train, so I have to rejigger my research queue. However, I leave the rocket silo research where it is—my top priority is to win the game ASAP. Will this decision to prioritize the rocket silo over an electric train be my undoing, or is it the key to my victory? Stay tuned to find out!
