Hall of Fame - Menu Simulations

@@MDPLACEHOLDER_0@@

Factorio has a rich history of amazing creations, from highly optimized builds to beautiful and chaotic spaghetti. With the addition of the Menu Simulations in Factorio 1.1 it is time that we start a Hall of Fame to showcase these amazing creations. This is to commemorate the skilled and dedicated community and hopefully inspire even greater builds!

Therefore, if you install this mod then this Hall of Fame will occasionally appear behind your main menu, showcasing the graceful movement of full belts, speeding robots and some rumbling rockets. They will run almost indefinitely, which also makes for an amazing screensaver!

And remember, this mod won't affect your UPS at all. The simulations arn't even loaded while you're playing.

Check out this trailer accompanied by beautiful Wintergatan music that showcases the mod (click on the image):

Here is a list of bases currently featured, in no particular order:

• DaveMcW: 1 Rocket Defense Per Minute. [29 June 2015 using Factorio 0.11]. I wrote an in-depth article about how this base works and incredibly well it is built. Note: the ratios are slightly off because of changes in recipes since Factorio 0.11.
• Xterminator: Send Supporters to Space. [12 September 2017 using Factorio 0.16] A highly optimized 4 kspm (version equivalent) megabase where he sent his supporters to space in rockets. (Thanks Xterminator for the save!)
• Zisteau: Meiosis. [July 2016 to May 2017 using Factorio 0.12 to 0.14]. The legendary YouTube player Zisteau builds a large factory based on various isolated cells, similar to cells in a growing organism, that he called meiosis. (Thanks Zisteau for the save!)
• Wube: Factorio 1.1 Playtesting. [30 January 2020 using Factorio 1.1] This is the map that the Factorio developers (called Wube) used to playtest Factorio 1.1 during its development. The showcased outpost is visible in FFF #364 where Klonan shows off the new spidertron waypoints.
• Wube: Factorio Trailer 2014. [1 May 2014 using Factorio 0.10] This is the map which was used for the orginal Factorio trailer in 2014. It was also adapted later to be used for the subsequent trailers in 2016 and 2020.
• V453000: GridLock. [27 March 2018 using Factorio 0.16]. This base is built by the Wube developer V453000 to be used as a Roll-Up poster for conferences. It was another step towards mastering the way of organically grown factories. Note: The base was modified slightly to work in Factorio 1.1.
• Biter Battle Championships: Baguette vs. SteelAxe. [6 February 2022 using Factorio 1.1] The longest match of the exciting first season of Biter Battle Championships. After a gruelling three and a half hours, and exorbitant amounts of science thrown between the opposing teams, Team Steelaxe finally prevailed after Baguette's silo was destroyed by biters.
• RootNegative: Break The Game. [2 January 2016 using Factorio 0.12]. Probably one of biggest bases of the Factorio 0.12 era. Many people were very excited to see the Crusher running with it's sophisticated train unloader, although it's slightly outdated.
• MojoD: 2 Red Belt Base. [Started March 2016 using Factorio 0.12]. This is a map that MojoD has worked on since the very early days of Factorio, which also turned it into a finely-tuned, train-heavy, circuit-driven 3200 SPM megabase when Factorio 0.16 was released. The railways in this save is beautiful and expansive, with smart circuits controlling everything from train dispatches and trash collection to angry phones.
• KatherineOfSky and Caledorn: Multiplayer World Record 500+. [25 January 2020 using Factorio 0.18]. This map broke the world record for the most concurrent players on one map and is likely still the defending champion. At its peak they reached 521 concurrent players and had 924 unique players join. (Thanks KatherineOfSky for the save!)
• NiftyManiac: GreyGoo Mk1. [16 February 2017 using Factorio 0.14] Using complex circuitry, in combination with Recursive Blueprints and a modified Logistic Train Network, this factory expanded autonomously.
• Drogiwan Cannobi: JOSEF [May 2021 using Factorio 1.1] A robust self expanding factory named JOSEF (JOSEF's organically self-expanding factory). This base grew bigger than the self-expanding factory it was based on, namely: GreyGoo.
• arrow in my gluteus maximus [24 April 2017 using Factorio 0.15] A real time digital clock using only trains and circuits. It's even visible from the map view!
• One Chunk Factory Challenge. [Nov/Dec 2019 using Factorio 0.17]. Showcased: first place by acmemyst with 9.2 SPM, and second place by [ostertoasterii
  

](https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/e1s7jl/32x32_factory_87_spm/) with 8.7 SPM.

• Lily Rose: Beautiful Belt Megabase. [19 May 2018 using Factorio 0.15]. A beautiful belt-only megabase built with precision and finesse.
• SteveTrov: Go Big or Go Home 15 RPM. [13 April 2017 using Factorio 0.14]. Likely the fastest vanilla-ish base at the time.
• SteveTrov: Monolithic Train Megabase 10 kSPM. [7 January 2020 using Factorio 0.18]. A beautiful and incredibly well designed 10 kSPM megabase using only trains, occasional bots, and no belts. This base has been extensively used for benchmarking by the Technical Factorio community.
• Accidental Chef: 10 Rockets Per Minute. [18 January 2017 using Factorio 0.14]. Likely the of the biggest vanilla-ish megabase of the time.
• Swolar: 20kSPM 60 UPS. [6 May 2020 using Factorio 0.18]. Shown is only one of 107 identical, fully contained, modules. At the time it was likely the highest science per minute while maintaining the highest UPS megabase ever built. Built using the editor.
• flame_Sla: 30kSPM 60 UPS. [7 January 2021 using Factorio 1.1]. At the time biggest and most UPS efficient base ever built, surpassing Swolar's base by 10 kSPM, and in UPS optimization in Factorio 1.1. Built in the editor it comprises out of 30 identical 1kSPM blocks to achieve 30kSPM. Note: the linked Reddit-post only mentions 20kSPM, but a benchmark was later run on a 30kSPM version that reached 70 UPS!
• SteveTrov: 40kSPM 60UPS. [26 May 2021 using Factorio 1.1]. Expertly combining the valiant efforts by the community into this 1kSPM cell-based megabase SteveTrove created the most UPS efficient megabase ever. Or at least - for now.
• AntiElitz: Speedrun Any% Factorio 0.14 World Record: 1h 58m 15s. [26 March 2017 using Factorio 0.14]. This is the last Any% speedrun world record before the Research Revolution of Factorio 0.15 - by the original Factorio speedrunner, AntiElitz.
