Guide to Robots Logistic and Construction drones Factorio 1.0 ️ Tutorial/Guide/How-To

I love the i know this now ROBOTS are AWESOME!

I started playing factorio like 3 years ago. I stopped after like 10h because I was overwhelmed by the complexity of this game. Now I installed it again and I cannot get enough of it, already 35h. I just got to the point when I feel like I want to use the robots so this video is really helpfull. Thank u so much

the biggest flaw is how late you get the chests, especially the advanced ones. By the time you've built a yellow science pack factory, you've nearly finished the game.

Fantastic video! Thanks for the tutorial! 💙

If only the devs provided any form of instructions. Overly complicated. Glad I didn't pay for this shit. Piratebay saved me a headache. Shit game.

Thanks!

how to you ghost build??????

What a neat way to explain the chest herarchy, you should work as a teacher :)

I can see the purple box being a faster garbage can. Instead of requesting your robots take unwanted items from you directly. You put it in a purple box yourself and they'll take care of it from there, you don't have to wait for them to take all of the stuff you don't want.

Yellow - Can Put In, Can Take Out, can be filtered for X item, w/o a filter Bots will randomly fill an empty Yellow with excess items.
Red - Cannot Put in, Can only Take Out.
Purple - (same as red but) Bots will aggressively keep it empty.
Blue - Bots will maintain a specific stock of an item (like a vending machine), Cannot Take Out.
Green - (same as yellow but) further in higherarchy than Yellow, has 'invisible to Network' toggle "Request from buffer chest".

A "fundamentals" tutorial that covers everything except the fundamentals, hmmm

My mind cannot fathom this robotics stuff... 400+h in the game, I still dont get it with all those damn chests, wires and stuff.
Maybe one day i'll learn...

So… if you’re getting boys about the same time or before blue belts… is there a point in using belts after this?

Did you know why I have Alexa home theatre on my Firestick not on my Firestick 4K please

I had played hours and didn’t want to try to get into robots, as someone else said, steep learning curve, and I didn’t have the time. But your video helped me so much and now I’m so much happier with my game!

Why does the narrator sound out of breath the whole time?

Spent more time talking about how to use an inserter than actually showing how to do anything with the bots

thanks man!

worst tutorial ive seen in a while, a turotial isnt a speedrun, slow down and start with the basics ...

I had no idea about the copying recipes from the Assembler to the Chest that is so convenient.

Damn so I can literally just bluetooth my expensive products to where they need to go.

What are the applications where you would use active provider and buffer chests?

thank you verry much u save to spaghety

Whats the best way to input materials into the network? just dumping from inventory, or just have a few assemblers dedicated to the network, or branching of from the bus?

fantastic! tyty

This video is one of the best guide to the most important parts of robotics. Parts that are almost always glossed over in other guides. 10/10, would watch similar tutorials.

ok thank you, after the video i learned, there are 5different chest types

I was confused, watching this video, I am now more confused, theres so much to take in, still very informative.

Thank you for breaking down what to do with the chests at the end. I had been thinking of them purely in the sense of "Okay, I can empty/fill my inventory quickly, and construct/deconstruct things." It's great to know that this can help fight spaghetti!

Love how he as calmy as possible say's "you slaves..."

40 thousand log bots take it or leave it >:(

Got bored with a map so I restarted it and the whole thing runs on logistics. no belts or trains at all.

I always ended up flooding my base with bots. Thanks to this video that won't happen anymore :D

Best instructional video ever, thanks a bunch for making this.

I've built lots of purple chests. Noticed that shit is wierd. Googled your video to sort things out) Thank you for your help!

Hey do you know why my logistics bot only take out my item from trash slots in the logistics menu but cant put item in my inv to fulfil my request same goes to the chest except when they are taking out the trash from trash slots it can enter it into chest can u help me

This is very helpful and well explained!

i like the slave part

damn was confused thinking the passive provider and storage chest worked like passive provider and request chest, I thought i was doing some kind of logic wrong but just didnt have the tech researched thanks for the tutorial!

Idk what's the problem of active provider.

That sounds like a good way to just send stuff to storage.

Just what I was looking for to understand how bad I fugged myself with the wrong colour chests.


Also this video made me realize that the spinney thing atop the robo bay isn't perfectly looped..

So helpful! Thanks mate :)

One thing that continues to confuse me is no chest goes to storage chests. e.g. I have an assembler creating belt, I place the belt into red provider chests, they go to requester chests, to make more stuff requiring belts etc - it will eventually bottleneck. But it would be nice if bots automatically take from all areas and put into storage.

Which is the purple one, but every factorio pro says don't do this....But it solves bottleneck issues.

There's no other automated way bots put stuff in storage chests - it goes straight from red to blue. The only time stuff goes into storage is when you manually trash something or put in personal requests. How can one use storage chests entirely autonomously...

I still don’t understand what the point of an active provider chest is. You basically said the point of putting something in there is to make it go away. In what context would that be the goal? Can’t I just drop items if I don’t want them?

1. My robots don't spread out, have the robot port like in the video where all robots come in but after it's full they don't spread out.
2. They stopped building in some places even though I connected them all

can someone help me please
