Let Us Launch a Rocket!
Smbai Gaming and Streaming DK30 Fall 2021 6 4
Description
I have 300 hrs in Factorio, and still have never launched a rocket. I get to late game and my brain melts. Let’s build a spaghetti factory and somehow launch a rocket together! I might use some QOL mods but we can figure that out if you wanna join me. You can DM me on discord @Smbai#5432 if you would like to join me. Factorio is so much more fun with others!

Day 18: I DID IT! ROCKET LAUNCH SUCCESSFUL! GG! All the Stream VODS can be found here on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/collections/lpg8sSQzsBatCA or here if you prefer YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHdYcK_lhqLXjp3sHGZqcX1Y8ki7IRtcd
Thanks Day[9] team for making this event! https://photos.app.goo.gl/rCZSTeMqAa1LVQBj9 https://photos.app.goo.gl/LtLLdwBAG4TzWmcG6
Day 16: Ultimo is all up and running which is giving me everything I need to launch a rocket! Just very slowly… so in the meantime I messed around with robots and tryied to hook up most of my base to the logistics network so that the robots can run around all over the place. And if I understand this correctly… I’m 40% of the way to launching a rocket! I need to make 100 rocket parts and so far I have made 40. https://photos.app.goo.gl/kpj1WKXyKy9paCAf7 One or two more days and my goal of launch a rocket should be accomplished!
Oh also, today was the only day where I did like an hour of stuff not on stream. It was basically just researching stuff and clearing bases while Ultimo did it’s thing. But everything else was on stream and in the link in one of the previous updates, so you can catch it all on there! Or on youtube if you prefer.
Day 15: Beat enough bases to max out my armor rating in the RPG System mod. Turns out with 150% defense, I’m invincible so I can run into biter bases in my way and sit there and shoot everything. In fact, their attacks HEAL me! Bonkers. Finally got my science packs going so I can research everything again.
Da 14: Was sick so didn’t play
Day 13: I noticed that my sulfurous gas production was lacking to I claimed another oil field and started making sulfur in order to get chemical science. Also started making Ultimo V which will give me most stuff I need. Now I’m lacking in research until I get production going on science. Umm… I had other stuff to put here but my mind just blanked out. Curse you zelda music for distracting me while I type this!
Day 12: Stuff happened. I’m really bad at remembering but its all in the VODs.
Day 11: Reorganized the bus, added battery production and red circuit production and did some huge battles with bases in the way of the bus
Day 10: Finally got into oil. Its confusing. This is usually where my brain shuts off and I usually quit factorio til I get the itch to play again and then I start a new map. Also did some more work on the bus and added plastic and stone and coal to it. Forgot to take screenshots but will highlight the stream and export to youtube. Kinda feeling bummed out about having no one to do this with tbh…
Day 9: Didn’t have time to do any work on the factory. Had a dr appt.
Day 7: Took a break. Day 8: Made the steel smeltery, Made a spot to make all the sciences. Expanded the bus to include green circuits and steel. Still didn’t start oil. https://photos.app.goo.gl/xfA68TFkkDtyonWY9 https://photos.app.goo.gl/sksocRBWLLXo7qyq6
I forgot to make an update yesterday and I actually forget what I did… so here is the update for today: made the copper smeltery and started the copper and iron buses https://photos.app.goo.gl/8XUvBVvZnuPQS1LF8 https://photos.app.goo.gl/LjcSfZBsaALyWQep7
Made the iron smeltery and had my first attack today. an entire 3 enemies. Biters are now past .50 evolution so they are spawning in some big bois now. Getting scary. Should probably get some sorta defenses soon. Altho my battle droid army is doing a great job of clearing biter bases. So we’ll see. Next up on the list will be a copper smeltery and possibly a smaller stone smeltery. Here is the iron smeltery: https://photos.app.goo.gl/7xK31FbWiUKH2B6Z8
Day 3: Cleared some heavily defended bases, started droid production to attack bases, and started trains. Also got some huge mining areas started for tomorrow where I will focus on large scale smelteries. https://photos.app.goo.gl/LSv96K5CYfmUdtUV6 https://photos.app.goo.gl/9aWdV4nMK7jhV9df6 https://photos.app.goo.gl/q28p1KHAZUQTA4mF7
Day 2: Found some infinite ore patches for each ore and made an early game mall to get me into the mid game. Cleared some bases so I hopefully won’t get attacked, that way I don’t need to focus too much on defense for now. Would really love to do some multiplayer though…
