I like this enough that I'm glad I saw it before I got too far.

Real players just slide under all their belts.
Real players elevate their belts so they can run their pipelines directly on the ground because, and I can't express this strong enough, fuck headlift with a rusty spork.
Whenever I need headlift on a lot of pipes of the same fluid I build a "water tower". Built properly it should cover all your headlift needs.
By "water tower" are you just directing the input into a couple water tanks placed higher than wherever the water needs to go?
Kinda but not quite. The fluid buffer isn't necessary and it's just one pipe going up and down. The idea of a water tower is to pressurize all your pipes with just one headlift pipe. Let's say you need 1800 cubic meters of water to go up 40m. How many mk 2 pumps do you need? Three? Actually you need just one. You take one pipe, add the pump to it and bring it up to 40m, then bring it back down. That pipe is your "water tower". You then connect it to the three pipes you want going up to your factory and all those pipes will move water up to the water tower height. The best part is that you can connect however many additional pipes to that water tower and they all will flow up to the same height without any additional pumps.
Fully agreed my friend. Fuck headlift.
That's the first problem I address, but by the end I'm driving trucks full speed through the middle of my ultra dense mega factory production floor under a spaghetti canopy. It's a thing of beauty.
Eh, there's no tutorial here, people can make things the way they like
Sure they can, that's why I said it was a suggestion. I've tried petitioning the devs to remove belt poles so you really, truly can't put them on the floor, but they said something about harrassment and then blocked me.
Sigh...re-downloads game.
Yes yes good good
It's actually so much better now than it ever was. They've done so much to streamline the grind, especially with Mercer Spheres.
I have been making buildings alternating logistics floors with production floors, and yeah it’s pretty nice to have belts up against the ceiling of the logistics floor so I can actually walk around and build.
This man's "madness" makes me look like an absolute toddler.
I'm going to choose to take this as a compliment lol.
Absolutely. Cool factory, nice video. I'm gonna try it later.
Thanks, let me know how it goes!
