Techtonica Update 4: Exploring New Features
TotalXclipse showcases the new features introduced in Techtonica Update 4. The update includes two new maps: Mountain King Underhaul and Faithless Void. Mountain King Underhaul is perfect for larger builds like the megafactory TotalXclipse is attempting. Faithless Void offers a more challenging experience with darker settings and new secrets to discover.
Building Steel Production
To start building the megafactory, TotalXclipse focuses on expanding his steel production. He sets up a smelting line to turn iron ingots into steel ingots. By running resources along a bus system, he ensures a smooth flow of materials throughout the factory. TotalXclipse also highlights the importance of power in the megafactory and demonstrates how power travels through foundations.
Expanding Resource Collection
In order to meet the demands of the megafactory, TotalXclipse needs to find more resources. He sets up blast miners to extract iron chunks, which are then refined into iron powder and smelted into iron bars. By doubling up on copper production as well, TotalXclipse ensures a steady supply of resources for the megafactory.
Planning and Organizing the Megafactory
TotalXclipse begins planning the layout of the megafactory, starting with foundations that will power the machines. He separates the resources into different production lines and strategically places machines to optimize production. He emphasizes the importance of prioritizing the items needed for the megafactory and showcases the progress he has made in organizing the production lines.
The Final Megafactory Setup
After hours of progress, TotalXclipse completes the setup of the megafactory. The bus system efficiently transports resources to the production lines, with items like blast smelters, inserters, storage units, conveyors, assemblers, threshers, and generators being produced. The organized layout of the megafactory resembles a computer motherboard, creating a visually appealing design.
