I Built an AI in Factorio ️; Watch How It Plays The Game PERFECTLY! [Timelapse]

i think i'm one thinkink about ai in factorio...

Congrats on making a self expanding factory! It's a great accomplishment!
My only issue? complaint? question? I have with your design is where are the base building materials coming from? The brain decided it needed many power blocks before it ever placed down the production facilities required to make the materials the power block needs, for example. And there's also all the rails, roboports, etc. Where did they all come from? Did you just, spawn in an infinite quantity of base building stuff?

all you've done is fed more into the singularity, so machines can effectively build machines.. >_> lol jkjk

Feels like you are taking a lot of credit for other people's work here

I wish I had 1/3 of the knowledge in this game that N has.

How on Earth is this even possible? Are the blueprints available?

Some of y'all are to smart for your own good.

This actually is super cool, it’s like playing multi-player co-op with a friend, the A.I will build the base for you and then you just go run around taking out biter nests for him so they can expand the base out in safety

Looks awesome! Can you upgrade your cells with the new building unlocked with research?

I'm sure that this is mentioned somewhere, but how much of this is based on the "JOSEF" build by DroCa ? /u/Drogiwan_Cannobi

where are the mine's ?

so whe can play it ourselfs i know you use infi chest i use that mod once a while aswhell just to get started

or post the save from the moment it ready to shut on the AI

hee Nilaus can you also post this whitout timelaps plz and full lengt off the vid and offcoarsse you can talk in the vid iff you whant
whit the space mod/stuff in it wonder how the AI whil do that lateron

I built a train based mega-base like this that died from low ups because of all the pathing decisions. Has Factorio optimized this now?

Would it not build the same setup each time though? What's AI about that?

I was obsessed with an idea like this a little while ago! Wouldn't the trains eventually be strained too much? Is there any point where more trains are built? I think rather than individual blocks, an entire group of blocks / base should be built one at a time, including trains, and they could connect to each other. Also, the power is such a waste of space for them to travel through, and since you don't lose energy by transmitting it large distances, that could be another optimization, but that makes things very very complex in an automated setup.

this is insane!

<3

where does the ore come from?

I have never seen the engine in the middle of the train cars before

New Factorio DLC: program an AI to automate completing the game

This is so very impressive, basically JOSEF version 3

ooh interesting...

Если так подумать, то это потрясающая работа, которая может касаться вещей, которые находятся и вне Факторио. Саморазвивающиеся системы с прописанным алгоритмом. В реальной жизни, конечно, для такого нужны фабрики роботов, но в случае с программами... если это удастся реализовать, то можно будет добиться просто потрясающих результатов.

Play Factorio?
No no no
Watch how Factorio play in Factorio
Yes yes yes

Became a Patreon but did not found the blueprint book and savegames. Not finished yet and first published when the howto video is made public?

This man is flexing on the programmers by building a program within their game with more programming than what went into making the actual game

Fantastica! Cool work! You forced the game hack self :)

looks a bit shit actually i bet i could do better

I would love a version of this that actually has to make the parts, even if it's asuming you have a min starting count, and would likely start bigger.

I really don't get it why some people prefer to build Solar instead of Nuclear Power!
There are unlimited resources of Uranium and Water on the giant map. A very small nuclear power including only 2 nuclear reactors can make 450MW that has the 1/4 of the size of one of these giant Solar panels which make only 45MW.
What's wrong with you guys seriously?

oh right this reminds me of the grey goo one

Now that we've automated playing the game can I stop expanding?

seriously, well done on this video. brilliant plus chill, what a vibe. great work

need to see a version of this where it mines resources (rather than generating them), seeks out new resource patches, and has anti-biter defenses running on a standard world
and then a deathworld

This must be what Deep Thought was simulating in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Perhaps 42 was the number of rockets per second it could launch before UPS fell below 60.

That central point is going to provide a hard upper limit to the factory.

WOW !

Superb sir!👍

So you are using one mod to build the AI in game? Or is the AI from outside the game?

when does it stop?

i dont know why but i feel like i saw that video a while back or someone else did just that. Or is this a case of deja vu?

I cant see where this is AI. This seems like a "standard" Programming Function to Add-in Blueprints with Conditional checks for demands.
What AI did you use? and what Language?

Wonder how it would do from the very start or if that would be possible.

Now build an AI to do space exploration. ....

Usual project managers: Can you build me an self developing AI for the client?
Nilaus: I can build it myself

This is dope. My only question is why no Nuclear power?
