I appreciate the thoughtful comments. I’d encourage you to watch to the end, there are definitely counterpoints.:
The hoverpack is a late-game thing, and as I clarify in the follow up to this video, this is really to help people overcome the complexity hurdle of the early game, which is a big problem. The devs said only 0.2% of people beat the last phase of the game prior to 1.0. A lot of people are attacking this technique from the point of view of being very experienced players that have all the tools, but if you’re that far in the game, this may not be for you.
I like my spaghetti factory, it emphasizes the complex industrial look of this game, which I don’t like to hide. This technique allowed me to make it far more complex than I ever would’ve managed without this technique. You can always encapsulate after you adopt this technique, and I absolutely have in certain places. Again, in the follow up to this video I cover encapsulation right at the start, although I don’t use that word for it.
You can wave a deconstructor at the belt and see what’s on it.
This is not intended to be an all-encompassing method, just a rule of thumb that makes the task of hand-building the early factory much easier, which you can then scale and extend into the late game if you wish. Plenty of people are talking about logistics floors, but I don’t use them because they obfuscate even more than a ceiling belt. If your problem is that you can’t see what’s on the belt well… you can’t see through floors either. You can through glass floors, but then you’re bringing back the visual noise anyway, and I’ve always found tracking belts through even glass floors to be much more work than following a belt to the ceiling.
Again, I’d encourage you to finish the video and also check the follow-up, where I roll this method into stackable blueprints, and I explain that these blueprints can easily be incorporated into logistics floors if that’s your thing.
I also have a note in that video apologising for calling people babies :)
