To answer your question Re: wolframite / tungsten, the name of the ore that metals are refined from is always named differently from the refined metal. There are often multiple different types of ores as well. We often say 'iron ore' or copper ore', but that's just simplifying the concept and not using the actual name of the ore. For example, we can refine iron from multiple different ores. Hematite is the most common iron ore, but magnetite, titanomagnetite, and pisolitic ironstone are also different ores iron can be refined from. They have different mineral compositions and often appear as a different color. Malachite is one of the copper ores, bauxite for aluminum, cinnabar for mercury, Ilmenite for titanium, and as you mention in the video, wolframite is tungsten's most known ore.
Tungsten is also called Wolfram (which is why it's periodic symbol is W). Languages seem to have chosen between the Swedish 'Tungsten' and German 'Wolfram' kind of arbitrarily, each derived from one of the two main types of Tungsten ores: - Scheelite, which had been called Tungsten ("heavy stone") in Swedish and is now named after the chemist who first created tungstic acid from it in the 18th century - Wolframite: "Wolfram" was translated to German from Latin "lupus spuma", the name apparently given to the ore by miners in the 16th century. Shortly after Scheele, Spanish scientists created the same tungstic acid from Wolframite and some time later they managed to reduce it to it's pure metal form. They got to name the element and chose Wolfram according to the ore they'd used.
For your money farm at 9:22 seemed to be somewhat redundant because planks sell for 1 coin, same as a log. Copper ingots also sell for the same amount as raw copper. You basically made it take longer than needed to sell it.
It's nothing more than a splitter connecting belt A to belt B, and then another splitter connecting belt B to belt A. What this does is allow those belts to provide any surplus material to the other, and vice versa. Note that this only works if at least one belt isn't full already, and that the last belt that 'receives' ore will get the majority of the resources until it backs up. It's a pretty bad way of balancing belts actually, but it's the best I could think of with the basic tools at hand (at least without making a complicated belt system....)
Hey, is there any chance to contact you? I want to show you my Builderment Base and want to give you some Tipps. If you don’t want it’s okay. Greeting from Germany :)
I'll admit that this took me WAY longer than I expected - but it was fun to do! Don't forget to like the video if you enjoyed it!

Ahhh that makes sense! Nice, thanks for this!
Amazing. You are a master at this game genre. It's really mesmerizing to watch your finished base.
You show you building everything. Think that’s the best part of these kind of games
Great seeing another builderment fanatic
Playing the Game on my Phone
Looking forward to new Videos from you 👍🏻:D

I think you're right!
Beautiful builds.
Could you please do a short video explaining the “balancers” at about @22:50 ?

I just wish the developer made a 1-2 Y track and also a 2-1 Y just to make it more aesthetically pleasing.
agreed!
Whats the blueprint id for the turbo charge factory
Do the nuclear plants speed up extractors?
Yup!
Can you mine more uranium if you place a powerplant near the miners?
Yup, you can boost production with 40% - so that pays off pretty easily.
