The game will prevent players from accidentally mixing fluids when placing most buildings, e.g. Clicking the trash can icon next to a fluid will flush that fluid from the system. GUI of a pipe inside a fluid system containing mixed fluids.

It can be observed in pipes and tanks they have windows through which the fluid is seen at a certain level, or perhaps even as just a small trickle. The level of fluid in a given entity is manifested by a percentage of the entity's maximum volume that is being occupied by a fluid. For instance, the pipe can hold 100 units of fluid, therefore the value in the pipe can be a number between 0 and 100. The volume of fluid contained in a fluid box is a value between 0 and the maximum volume. The vessels automatically connect to each other if their inputs/outputs are adjacent (pipes connect to all directions) and allow fluids to flow between them. In the game, fluid is held in entities that behave as vessels (fluid boxes) of a defined size (volume). When the player picks up a structure that contains fluids, the contained fluid will try to flow into connected structures and any excess fluid that does not fit is destroyed. They cannot be spilled or even dumped in a lake, and are counted in continuous fractions, rather than discrete integers. This book covers blueprints for every kind of power generating, taking you from steam power, through solar, all the way up to creating your own nuclear power plants.Fluids cannot be carried by the player, moved using inserters, dropped on the ground, nor stored in chests, unless the fluids are stored in barrels.

This Blueprint book from ranzolger provides full blueprints for all the circuits you’ll need to manufacture across the game.Īnother blueprint book, this one is dedicated to the wonderful world of power generation. One of the very best Factorio blueprints, Tileable Sciences gives you a beautifully compact and efficient layout for every science pack in the game. All of these, along with many more, are available at (opens in new tab):Īrguably the ultimate blueprint book, Nialus’ Base-in-a-Book contains all the blueprints used in his accompanying Youtube series, designed to take you from a stranded interstellar explorer to master of the manufacturing realm. Here’s a selection of the most useful blueprints for Factorio. While you should certainly have a go at creating your own blueprints, sometimes the best way forward is to learn from others. (Image credit: Wube Software) The best Factorio blueprints To import a blueprint, find the string online, copy it, Then click the 'Import string' button to the right of your hotbar, paste it in, then click 'Import'. To export a blueprint, right-click the blueprint and click the 'Export to string' button. Outside of Factorio, blueprints are saved as character strings. You can share your blueprints with other players and use their blueprints to improve your own factory.

One of the most important features of Factorio’s blueprints is that they're not restricted to your game.

Certain assembly setups, like electronic circuits, which you need a lot of, or inserters, which you need many of and form a key part of other assembly lines, such as science packs and other types of inserters.

Power generators (such as steam engine setups and solar farms).

Your drilling and smelting setups for iron, steel, and copper etc.

Good areas for early blueprinting include: With any assembly lines or structure layouts that you’re going to either add to or use multiple incidents of, it’s a good idea to blueprint early so you can keep your construction consistent. Early on, though, you’ll have to do the grunt work yourself. Later in the game you can direct drones to automatically build structures designated by blueprints. Note: The blueprint provides an outline of what to build and where, it doesn’t do the actual construction for you. To deploy a Factorio blueprint, simply click on it in your inventory, then left-click to place it as you would any other object.
