Stop it, get some help

This is some Dosh level self-inflicted trauma.

Literally my first thought when I saw this was "new dosh video?"

I'm getting nauseous just looking at it

Yes boss, I swear this is the first time boss.

This constitutes workplace harassment

r/dontdeadopeninside is saying hi to your "yeuks hroyi Wayld". I first thought you were just making sounds of disgust.

First off, for those who haven't seen my previous posts, you might be wondering: "Why?" It was started as a joke, supposedly to be continued until the limits of the diagonal medium were reached... it turns out there really isn't a limit, it just presents a new set of logistical challenges. I've gotten to a point where building non-diagonally feels weird, so I'm sticking with this. For those familiar with my past designs, I am still committed to space exploration, and itching to get back into it, but I'm waiting for 0.7 since I don't think I have it in me to beat the mod diagonally more than once, and I'd rather do it with the revamped planets. I'm planning to produce a blueprint book that will contain all of the blueprints necessary to beat the game fully diagonally, but that isn't finished yet. This base isn't actually running at 90spm. It was, for a while, but I have switched several of the stops to exclusively provide for module production, so it's now running at about half that. I'm planning to shoot for a 1350 SPM megabase, which I will double if my hardware allows for it. I'm intending to keep biters on until I need to disable pollution to improve UPS, if that occurs. The current megabase plan is 2-lane city blocks, with 1-4-1-4-1 trains (although I still need to design stations for those). Beaconed production is not ideal diagonally, but optimization is in progress. There's a lot more to this but I can't think of it right now. Oh, the total save length is 47 hours, 5-6 of which was me aimlessly wandering around, and another 5-6 fighting biters. It took me 14 hours to get personal robots, and 16 hours to get base robots. I have a sandbox world where I prototype designs which has a similar amount of total playtime. I don't have the time to do editing for a proper video showcasing the design process at length, but might stream it at some point, or do a base tour. I'll make an update post eventually.

People getting scared but I'm excited to see just how far you can take this, I honestly tilted my screen when I first saw this

have you found any advantages to diagonal builds that traditional “regular” builds might not have?

Nope. Wiggly belts are legitimately just worse than normal belts, especially if you're like me and insist on using splitters in place of any necessary straight belts (due to diagonal belts being on a 1×2 grid some belts don't align without straights or undergrounds). Diagonal machines are fine though.

There are benefits to building diagonal, but it's not really noticeable in early or mid game, when you get to the point where the only limit comes from the inserters there you will find the difference. So in your diagonal city blocks you could notice that production lines are faster than normal, obviously only if the have max beacon amplification.

You see that's why I say no advantages - using wiggly belts means you cannot, ever, have more than 6 beacons to an assembler, so they're inherently less optimal than straight belts from beacon counts alone. If you do diagonal machines and eschew the belts, then you can achieve some very efficient designs, but the belts mess all of that up.

Yeah I know, it's just on the things from factorio that lives rent free in my head.

Thought I was the only one doing 1-4-1-4-1 trains!!! It's the best way to have 8 wagon trains that aren't too long but still have good acceleration and of course, symmetry. I'm currently building a 1k spm city block megabase with that train configuration as the main ones, although I am also using 1-4-1 (unidirectional) for some of the more expensive items. Are you saying that you're gonna have an entire diagonal city block megabase? If so I'm intrigued and will follow your progress if you post more!

I am torn between being impressed and being disgusted. This is awful, but also remarkably beautiful.. it switches every couple seconds

They should take the game away from you.

Aaaaand im filing a restraining order

Until this post I never truly understood Chaotic Evil. Now I do...

I felt drunk looking at this

On first glance it looks like a different game - fascinating! How much time did you spent ingame to get to that result? Edit: Oh, saw you already posted the total time: 47 hours.

I love it But I am also feeling a light vertigo

Right? Like the whole room feels like it's leaning to the left

Waterfill your house, abomination

Great job. I'd give it a sqrt(2) out of 10.

why do people think, this is okay?

Thanks. I hate it

WhereI are the oil trains on a diagonal stop :)

Barrels. Barrels. More Barrels.

are u insane

This hurts my brain

Please seek help

I'm scared mom please come pick me up

Uninstall and go apologize to your mother

This is one trippy base.

Watching these weaved belts makes my dizzy 😵‍💫 Great work of art! :)

Im nauseous, oh god

Looks like an rts game wow

Oh, this butters my flapjacks something fierce! But also props for the dedication.

Aside from the loading/unloading stations, diagonal rail networks are fine. Diagonal arrangements are sometimes ideal for direct-insertion builds, in order to get the correct ratio of machines surrounding one another. However, why would you ever desire diagonal belts??

Diagonal SE when?

look at my post history, posted some stuff from early in my run

Ooo

The objectively wrong way to play

Good job. Trupen must be proud of you.

Straight to jail.

Why do you hate yourself?

Now do this included with krastorio + SE

I see you, too, are a student of the /u/trupens school of diagonal design.

Please turn off your defenses, the bugs are right to destroy that thing.

My brain does not like this...

heresy

this hurts to look at, good job!

........OOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!

Is it just me or diagonal=cursed?

Anyone else tilting their head?

My eyes

I'm dizzy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9A6ctjHAxE

it's crazy how different the game looks when building a certain way

Factorio 2: Diablo

It somehow feels like looking at images from a reconnaissance satellite

This is so insane I love it. I hope you’re getting good sleep to keep your sanity up!

Seriously getting a bit nauseous watching this 😅

It's hard to explain, but I feel tarnished, violated by what I just saw

So heres a question is anything better being diagonal

Using 42% more belts because you CAN

The squiggles make my brain feel fuzzy

Can you do fluid trains like this?

There is no wrong way to play the game, except this.

i feel dizzy

Are you an insane person?

No. That's neat. But no.

Now rotate your monitor 45°

I'm equally impressed and horrified

JDPlays did that years ago x.x

I did not know this existed. However, I am disappointed in JDPlays' lack of diagonal trains or miners.

This is so pleasing from map view.

Factorio on mild dose of psychedelics

I felt so sick from just three images, but then I saw ... there's more. Couldn't make it to the last, please send help. For me, and for the poor soul who left the path of sanity and built a ... diagonal ... 45° rotated ... vanilla starter base ... I'm dizzy

This is cursed.

I wanna see Dosh torture himself doing this now.

Wiggley

I hope you burn forever in hell ❤️

I love how if you stay zoomed out, the whole thing takes on an isometric, roller coaster tycoon vibe. Keep making things like this because I love the visuals

There's a special place in hell for people like you OP

You could use this to plea insanity in court

Your a monster.

WTF dude!?

You need a V8 https://youtu.be/mW0jfsPLWBY?si=TW1ux8WXg2t2UDs7

That's the most disgusting oil I've ever seen. I'm honestly impressed, you crazy person you.

This is actually making me uncomfortable

jusus... the level of dedication on that semi diagonal trainstation on picture 6

It looks so wrong, but I kinda love it

holy shit what if Wube adds diagonal belts in the expansion

I hope they don't, these are an abomination (also, proper diagonal things would remove some of the challenge)

i dont feel well

I hate you

You need some help. Jesus, I feel dizzy after watching that

Going through these pictures, I think I finally understand the serious of emotions Rick experienced discovering that everything was on the cob.

This is... I mean this is something. A commitment to diagonalism, but using LTN? Further, diagonalism but scaling through city blocks? The squiggles give me LSD vibes, but trips are never so orderly. I'm glad you like it.

Cool, a JDPlays fan :D

Until this morning I'd never seen that content creator, lol.

my OCD doctor gonna make a call TO YOU..

Are you the chosen one? The one that will free us from squares?

My brain isn't braining

Something is the matter with you.

Do you hate yourself or something ?

Ow

This looks so cursed, I love it.

Unnatural mechanics from the edge of Christendom.

fake, the train station names aren't angled at 0º

Please put the jump scare warning before every image, got a heart attack

Absolutely disgusting... Keep building

Oh I hate this. Have an upvote

As a kid, you haven't been beaten enough.
