Swag Plays Factorio S2 E28: Robotic Roadblocks! Power Critical!
In this episode, Swag completes the setup of roboports but soon realizes he needs additional research to unlock requester chests for automating the engines in the flying robot frames area. Undeterred, he focuses on setting up personal logistics and reorganizes his research, all while recognizing how close he is to winning the game and finishing this season. To prepare for future needs, he also expands steam power to ensure ample energy for his roboports and upcoming plans, especially during the nights when solar power isn’t available to save on coal usage.
Swag Plays Factorio S2 E27: Automating for Robotic Assistance: More Automation!
In this episode, Swag semi-automates the production of electric engines and flying robot frames, crucial components for advancing the factory. To ensure a steady supply, he sets up an additional factory to produce engines, as the original factory’s output is entirely consumed by blue science production. Swag also boosts coal power production and demonstrates how to create a blueprint for future automated solar generation stations. Watch the full thrilling episode to see all this and more!
Swag Plays Factorio S2 E26: Mastering Automation: Low Density Structures
In this episode of Swag Plays Factorio, Swag automates low-density structures—a crucial component for his future robotic workforce. He checks on his miners to ensure a steady supply of raw materials for the factory’s production area. Additionally, he adjusts his research queue several times to optimize his research strategy and improve factory efficiency. Watch the episode to see all the action unfold!
Swag Plays Factorio S2 E25: More Optimization
In this episode, Swag reworks his blue science setup to double his production efficiency, opting for a beltline to the research area drop-off chest instead of waiting for robots. He also enhances his factory’s visibility by installing radars and lamps, allowing him to see more of the map and operate better at night.
Swag Plays Factorio S2 E24: Boosting Efficiency and Power Storage!
In this episode of Factorio, Swag takes efficiency to the next level by adding modules that slash power consumption. He also sets up a solar panel array complete with accumulators to store the excess energy produced. The research process hits a snag as Swag has to manually transport blue science packs, leaving him eagerly anticipating the day when robots can take over the delivery service.
