>>499528479Construction bots are in the same place as they always were. It's just that having to manually put down 48 furnaces and 96 inserters multiple times is not fun. I can deal with going to my mall and emptying every chest in my inventory but placing down furnaces is the bane of my existance.

Excellent, another Factorio exclusive thread just for me.
Is this what brain damage feels like?
I'm tired of the frog poster tourist complaining about factorio and trying to force a split. /egg/ has been factorio general for at least the past 6 years.
>>499529729Do blueprint belts join up yet?
>>499529834no, and they likely never will because coffee stain thinks that having convenient construction features will make people play their game too fast.
>>499530095Then yes, that's drain bamage.
>>499529834lol
Is this space junk going to make it to another planet once I add power and turn it on?
>>499530245To be fair, I added the belts that would connect to make it clear in the screenshot how they worked. The original blueprint just has the splitters and their connections to the manufacturer.
>>499529606hey, that's mean to dogs
Now that everyone has had a chance to finish the DLC, what's the verdict?
>>499531436I haven't even started playing / 10
Since i failed at playing factorio past green science i decided to do a satisfactory playthrough with:>random starting point (doesnt really mater)>random resource nodes>random recipesI wish there was a mod to randomize resource wells too.The biggest issue with this playthrough is that i wont have a calculator, so much so that i considered downloading the source code from satisfactory tools and changing it to whatever recipes i have
>>499528616I am scared of using roundabouts now.
Like the new rails
>>499494425The question is: are you actually going to post this somewhere they'll see it, or assume they have one autist that actually keeps-up with /egg/ threads? Because that's a bad bet.
>>499531063You should try to add a few guns on the back. When you orbit a planet some asteroids might hit the back of your ship
>how do you automate quality before recyclers >>499514980>You don't have to use quality :)This is like putting artillery shells behind red science. You don't have to use them at the point you researched it.
>>499531436I'm 8 hours in, I haven't launched a rocket yet because I procrastinated for 3 hours for absolutely no reason. At least I got modules t1 (rare) now I guess...
>>499536307I've basically completely ignored quality so far, I think it becomes really powerful and useful once I can get to fuggora but I'm only at space science right now.
>>499536307>I got modules t1 (rare) now I guessWhat did you do with byproducts?
>>499533903I'll try to once I learn enough about it to make an actual bug report and not just "I did some unga-bunga and it made whoosh" and unless someone beats me to it
>>499537557Shove them in random machines. I mostly just put filter splitters on my intermediate component machines and stuff them full of quality modules. After 2 hours I had tons of green and blue parts for guaranted green and blue quality stuff.
Can you get a legendary fish to make a legendary spidertron?
>>499538820>carving up and recycling 200 different pieces of sushi to get a legendary fishUh, if it works I guess
How are you /fag/s setting up your trains with the new interrupts?Right now I've got loading stations that set their limits to 1 if they have more than X resources. I guess later on I can add waiting bays if I need to.The dropoff stations set their limits if they have under X.And then at the depots, there's a circuit gadget that cycles through every resource in the system every second and feeds it to the stations. The trains use the circuit wildcard and only dispatch if the load & drop stations are both not full.Seems to work so far, but if I have a bunch of different resources in the system it will take a while to cycle through.
Did someone post the new infinite research formula somewhere? I see that they're now all over the tech tree. Mining prod only takes purple and space science and the formula seems cheaper than before.
>reduced boiler water consumption by 10x>left offshore pump max rate aloneIs this intentional? You can run like 200 boilers off of one pump now
>>499538820The only source for higher quality fish is... Recycling spidertrons in a recycler with quality modules in it. They don't spawn in the wild, there isn't any other recipe involving fish that can use quality modules. It's the only way.
>>499539641you can't use quality modules in fish breeding?
>>499539702Nope and you would need 20 fish of the same quality on a two hours timer. Mass producing legendary spidertrons is going to cost a massive amount of legendary spidertrons and some luck.
>>499530095>we're gonna add blueprints after saying repeatedly we'll never add them>so we're gonna make them as irritating as possible to use as a big middle fingerlmao
>>499539564If they changed pump rates then they would need to change the values for all the water recipes like oil cracking.
>>499539985The game even says "if you want a bigger one, it's a skill issue" when you unlock it. The dialogue in the game is horrible though, it's almost better to turn it off.
>>499541367I skip all ada dialogue, what isn't the devs flipping you a middle finger is just cringe reddit shit.

I don't care which planet is the "best" to go to first, I'm dropping myself onto Gleba naked, making my farm and genociding the spiders.
>>499546405Why the asymmetry? It triggers my autism.

>>499547180I was just plopping the power stuff down where I could that's clearly not space optimized right now. Since you have to dump stuff you don't need I created two holes on the ship and that also means all of the stuff following it has to be a crevice

Playing spengies and I've put ten artillery guns on a ship, how do I set up stagger fire? I doubt firing all of them at the same time will be useful.
>>499539641it seems dumb that you can't use fish breeding to improve qualityno reliable way to get quality nutrient? lemme perform crop selection
>>499529160Furnaces are fine, it's the inserters that are ass cancer because you can't just brainlessly click and drag them. Although I wish there was a option (like holding ctrl while placing etc) to always place in a straight line when dragging like the default behavior for belts. Trying to manually place long lines of straight walls and pipes is nightmare inducing.
>>499533529I love the new map generation. Cliff explosives gated behind space bullshit had me worried, but the new nauvis generation is a lot less uniform and seems to have wide open areas free from cliffs and resource patches as a kind of sub-biome.
Love the new rails, little bends let me fit roboport in intersection
>>499533529I wish they made the turn radius even wider desu
>>499555071You better be trolling, even basic roundabout would have better throughput than this
i thought this meant I could farm in this yellow areabut no it means there is a SINGLE tile in all of these spots where a yumako tree can growit is insanely hard to tell what the fuck is going on in the gleba map viewis it water? is it land? is it a cliff? is that farmable? is it farmable after you landfill it? is it landfillable? good luck guessing because they are all slight variations of the same color!
Please save me from this hellv I have created

Junctions have a hidden fluid buffer. You cannot dump it.

>>499565009You mean normal water, which you rarely encounter, right?Fluids do not have quality.

Come traveler, I have rare steel plates for sale. The quality names really are silly
>>499567609The quality names are something most people playing can instantly recognize and discern.>NOOOO, you have to use a different naming system that no one will remember which is which for 100 hours!
>>499568697Yeah yeah kovarex, I understand why you chose the names you did. Doesn't mean I can't think that rolling an epic wood on my wooden power pole recycling factory is an absurd statement dreamed up by the utterly deranged.

>>499529221No. Still researching thrusters. I dislike the space platform minigame. I'm really not feeling it, with the teeny tiny rocket cargo pods. I was hoping by planets by now but it's been hours and hours of the same old shit.
Can't drop this here, I thought you were supposed to use high quality inputs to get higher quality outputs, but it won't accept it. This is using editor extensions lab, btw.
>>499570682just spam some rockets to build itnothing is forcing you to build small
>>499571000You need to set the quality of the inputs.
If nothing else, this exercise is great for getting better at the basics of the game.It never occurred to me to change the "copy" hotkey so I could quickly copy the settings of a building, dismantle it, rebuild it in a slightly better position, then paste the settings back onto it.It's also neat that PCB design principles help this process a lot. I feel dumb for not using layers and vias more already.
>>499571000You have to explicitly state what quality recipe the machine will produce when you're selecting the recipe. Bit weird to get used to coming from the base game.
>>499571064Legendary answer, thank you.
>>499571021I'm working on it. Slowly. These feel worse than the Earendel rockets. Those were expensive but at least you got like 80 slots.
>>499568697it would be as out of place if they used that naming scheme for the modules too>speed module>super speed module>ULTRA speed module!!11even the belts have more dignified tiers
>>499571289Yeah I can see why many anons don't like it.I might just skip on quality until I can do full legendary.
>>499571470Without knowing how well/clearly these might translate into other languages, I still maintain that>Normal>Fine>Superior>Exceptional>Perfectis a clear and reserved naming scheme for quality levels.
Is biter evolution shared between planets?I think I'll also need to mass-produce red-ammo and bot repairs for my perimeter on nauvis before I leave, or even uranium ammo. I already have Big biters.
Wow, what a great trade, i will definitely make 5 nukes for 10 coal
>>499571289This really kills it for me. I probably won't mess with quality until I go to fulgris-ora-lope, which will be third.
>>499572087not like weapons have any use in that game

>>499575774what
anyone here played hackmud before?
super shitty supplies now to make my real starter base
>>499563435Genius and madness are only a hair's breadth apart
Spent an hour number crunching in editor mode and U found out that by putting 3 tier 1 prod mods in my refineries and then burning the generated petroleum gas I get 21 extra MJ for every 900 units of petroleum used (enough to trigger the first bonus) than when using no modules, despite the fact that the process uses more than twice the amount of power. 50 MJ in, 494 MJ out with prod mods (444 MJ out), 444-21 MJ without modules (423 MJ out)Using 3 tier 1 elf modules, you get 444 MJ out by spending 5 MJ, for a total of. That's still an inferior to prod1 but better than without modules (439 MJ out).And that comes with the added bonus of using 12% less oil, which means you get an extra 12% increase: even more if you use prodmods on your pumpjacks. Unsurprisingly, even when eating more than twice the power consumption producing more of the fuel you're using to fuel power your reaction is more efficient.

>>499578747Now get the science back to the hub.
I really wish they had more advanced options with the wiring in factorio. It takes up too much space to do anything interesting with it.
>can't flip blueprint with train stationDidn't they mention in some fff this will be possible in 2.0 or do I misremember something?
>>499580017I don't know about trains, but they did write about flipping chemical plant and that doesn't seem to work.
>>499575924My bad, I thought I was posting in /egg/.
>>499577105>currently having to dismantle and remake multiple buildings to move them all a hair's breadth to make them all fit in a blueprintMadness take me.picrel. The refinery and blender on the left consume water. The second blender outputs as much water as the first blender consumes, so the input cycle needs enough water to feed the refinery and get the water cycle started between the two blenders. Because my test setup keeps getting shut down by the nuclear waste bug, I'm still not positive what setup to go with.
>>499579443That's what the red manipulator is for

Pipes to ground are bugged in space they can grab fluids of other pipes above them in the path if the underground fluid runs out. Kind of weird
>>499580623I still don't know what an autopiler is in this context thoughonly thing that comes up is DSPwhich has the automatic pilerit merges belts into higher stacked beltssort of a combination between a splitter and the Space Age stack inserter
>>499580645You can save a blueprint, then rebuild it in another blueprint box. It's handy to have 2 blueprint boxes next to each other.Pipe mechanics are turbo jank, but think of gravity as a valve that pushes everything downhill. Try to make all fluid things flow downhill and it will suck less.

Elevate my fresh water input, maybe?
Is there anything to use the metric shit ton of stone from vulcanus on other than voiding it?
I used to just kind of eyeball it, but how do I actually find out a good ratio for science production?Are all packs always consumed at the same rate meaning as long as I produce them at some arbitrary rate I choose I should be good?

>>499582571It's an old build, but I always life to make a ton of brick floor under the parts of my factory where I don't intend to walk much, just to spice it up visually>>499582817neat, not sure if I'm a fan of these ratios but I'll take what I can get
>>499583173you don't have sticks unlocked by default, they come with both trains and non-shit electric poles
>>499570139Can you explain your answer?I'm thinking Fulgora might be better
Sticks are too overpowered to be left in early game, clearly they should require vulcanus science
>>499583575Fulgora definitely is better
>>499583310oh, I unlocked poles a while ago so that's why I was confuseddesu iron sticks need to be nuked completely, it's a complete meme of an intermediate. used in rails, poles, and super concrete. Just replace them with more steel in the recipe, I wouldn't even mind paying a greater amount of iron total so long as these things were gone.
>>499582682Somebody gave you your answer already but just do the math dude, it's part of the fun.Like yellow belt is 15 per second, let's compare that with iron plate in stone furnace speed woah 15÷0.3125=48 woah I need 48 furnaces whoopie I figured it outI don't actually mean to be condescending, I didn't bother getting the calculator out for my first 100 hours but it isn't hard and it makes you feel clever to work stuff outThe information is in game now, no excuse

I'm a poorfag with kind of an old PC, I suspect shit will lag because the single core speed of my CPU is meh (Ryzen 1700), and that I would rather have the DLCs than install even more bloat with mods.Are there any rivaling games to Space Engineers? I'm not too happy with how shit it runs in videos whenever you build anything above a tiny ship, but every other game I look at is either completely dead or in pre-pre-pre-alpha.ps.

>>499586340Don't buy spengies.It's not worth it.
>>499583836there was one more use for iron sticks back in the day. You used to have to make degradable axes that you equipped to increase your mining and building pick speed, and they used iron sticks.

First 6 outputs have been designed for base 3.0The last simple one is going to be iron gears. After that it's the annoying ones.I shouldn't have torn down my old base, but I thought I was going to be using its space.I have no clue how you'd do a full base belt only, no logistics bots.
>>499595274Fulgora is definitely a planet that sucks with only belts, you would need like 30 splitter filters everywhere (even more the deeper into quality you go)
>KSP 2 died so hard it took the forums with it10+ years of mod documentation, gone.
I'm starting to see the appeal of space age less and less. It's vanillla but with more bull shit. You don't have any of the QoL stuff from K2/SE so trying to get through is already going to be painful if you've spent any amount of time in an overhaul and even going to space SE did that already and better, what's the point aside from the "qol" stuff they added that modders already fixed a year ago?
>>499595548The KSP 1 forums?NOOOO
>>499595554i'm having some difficulty justifying the purchase myself. are there any objectives with the planets and asteroids or is it just getting different shit back to your homeworld?
>>499595548Jesus christ it's actually fucking over for KSP
>>499595792Pretty sure it's just getting some stuff back. I made it as far as putting down 3 labs before I alt+f4. I spent too much time in K2/SE, now way I'm going without all that extra shit and now way I'm going back to the trash recipes in vanilla. I'll wait for the overhauls to get update or just not play all together.
>>499592568Play Rim World. It's a bit slow, especially coming from Factorio but it's really good and there's mods for anything you can imagine.
>>499595128outputs S = 1 when steam drops below 5k until it goes back up to 6k the signal is used to cut the power between my coal mining + power plant outpost and the rest of my base so it doesn't enter a death spiral where power production is insufficient, causing miners to produce slower, causing even less power production and so on you could achieve the same thing by just having the "steam < 5k" condition on the power shutoff but then it would constantly flip back and forth which would be annoying

>>499596919>wild guess: station is pointing the wrong wayI am so triggered holy shit. I've wasted at least an hour in total in my 1.0 save because I didn't look up and notice the fucker was pointed backwards. Another issue was forgetting to tick "unload" on every freight platform. Another was setting a station to "only pick up copper" and forgetting about it, then when I added limestone to that stop like 40 hours later it took forever to realize the station was set to only send copper.I'm drone life, now.
It's time. To test.I am relishing the fact that it's going to take far longer to just get the resources from their nodes to my factory than to set up the entire factory in the first place.
>>499589124>>499590165Maybe I should've been more clear about it: I want to buy it for €8.50, but if I enjoy it, I'd be upset not having the DLCs. On the other hand, if it's still too buggy and clunky (the way I remember it from years back), I don't want to have spent €37 on a game I won't be enjoying those DLCs in. I'll test everything at least once regardless, car, mining rig, transport, space ships and so on. I'm not so poor that the €37 is the end of the world, but it is more or less what I'd pay for a full/"real" game if I were to buy it, upper limit actually because most games are just not worth the money.I don't mind working a bit to get started initially, I feel like the game long-term offers a lot of fun in building. But if the survival is unplayable and just too tedious all around, then the cheaper base game version is enough as I'll get bored of infinite resources and no real progress much quicker (i.e. if I can just build a mega base and hit 20 fps immediately with no work and the setup produces resource for no reason because I already have it all, then what's the point).I kind of want it, and don't want it at the same time. The 2013-tier engine really puts me off, but there's no other game like it where I can build a neat space ship (/ground vehicles) either, it seems. I looked at Starbase, but it looks like shit (the "ships" look like metal spaghetti) and it seems years from being finished.Anyway, thanks for replying. I'm not sure I really clarified anything here.

Trains do not consider quality ore as part of "full cargo"Eh, inactivity it is I guess.
Nuclear is definetly viable, lasers are kinda meh thoughThis can hold 200km/s without a scratch for the whole trip(15000km) if it lingers at a planet for long enoughonly needs 6 fuel an hour (could probably reduce it with more steam buffer)I don't think it can go to aquillo though, at least not right nowhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRh0QiXyZSk

>>499612057Correct, thank you. I'm sleep deprived, couldn't imagine why.
>>499612000What does your platform schedule look like? Do you have to wait for ammo to be made at each stop? I've noticed sometimes when traveling to fulgora it's either pretty easy or full of much larger rocks than before. I've been having serious ammo issues.
>>499612927I wait for some ammo, but with the iron (and ammo) reserve(making iron on it too) I can amass, I just need 100 on the belts and I am good (green signal)
How do I tell tell a space platform when it's needed at another planet? I can't find a way to actually send a signal between the surface and the platform.

thanks blueprint sandboxes
space question, does removing a building from a spaceship/platform destroy it or does it go back to cargo?
Set up a small factory for ammo, going to get a ton of turrets and try to defeat one of the destroyers. The tungsten calls to me (I didn't realize insane the foundries were before visiting, but now I need to mass produce them).
>>499615679Puts it back in cargo
I built a 'nauvis tech only' steel production station. I assumed that by building the arms extra wide it would trigger a lot more asteroid generation. I was wrong, it remains a trickle. It's fucking terrible, the whole thing can't even saturate a half yellow belt, it's gonna take hours just to recoup all the steel that went into it. Saw some stuff in the tech tree that might make it better later so I am not gonna scrap it yet.
>>499615679Go back to cargofirst thing I saw people do was deconstruct order a lot of platform and paint a lot of it and it looks like the machine is like morphingI THINK stuff in furnaces etc. are lost on deletion though, I can't check because my ultra death world isn't in space yet.
>>499616720Flying around or idling in places with higher asteroid density will result in... more asteroids. They're thin around nauvis because it is the first planet
>>499616720Just make more of them. It's free steel.
>>499612000I made a nuclear powered laser ship that can patrol between nauvis and one of the planets indefinitely. Only reaches measly 50km/s though. I wonder if adding more thrusters would break it.
Are you supposed to land on the planets with nothing in your inventory? I thought it would let me put some stuff in my inventory before landing lolFulgora is cool
>>499619987There is an option to manually drop from spaceship to planet without a landing pad, it just always lands at 0:0 coordinatesSo the idea is you go(empty inventory at all) but just like later using ships as psuedo-trains between planets you can load up your first one with STUFF with manual rocket launches and then manually drop it downFulgora is easily the quickest planet to get back into space from if you want to duck out and come back with shit
thatll be 4 years of development + 70 bucks + tax + tip + complimentary BJ for early access.
>>499620386I just wanted to make sure i didnt do something wrong dropping down with an empty inventory.
>>499620520How atrocious, I'll refund my game now and buy Satisfactory instead
>>499620647You are literally forbidden from mounting a ship with anything in your inventory.This is technically a spoiler but it is tiny and insignificant.Only the last planet is a soft lock if you don't have supplies on your ship. Every other planet is technically viable to start on with nothing, not even tech.

>>499621176>>499621274I think i figured it outthe "request for construction" had a bunch of stuff on the list, red belts included. However, nothing needed to be built and the requests were for 0 of everything. I turned auto request off then back on and it cleared the list. Item's on the build request list wont be sent down.Not sure what caused the list to bug out tho.
>>499569309>an absurd statement dreamed up by the utterly deranged>>499569498Let me present you with, a meme made entirely by AI
>pollution cloud is starting to reach nests I can't easily clear out>nowhere near logistics bots yetHow do you handle automated defenses? Should I really run a kilometer of belt all the way to my wall to feed the turrets, or just fill them manually and hope I start noticing when they run dry? Actually maybe I could build a circuit that tells me when they are low
>>499604267why do so many people main bus multiple belts of plates? if your green/red chips need 30 iron/sec, why not just give it a dedicated smelting array or train station? 1 copper belt in the bus is enough to make buildings, power poles, etc, you're just bloating the bus with belts that do not serve a function and do not really exist

>>499623035If you're at circuits you're at bots and just making a logi network of wall supplies(conbots for repair, walls, ammo, replacement turrets/radars/power poles etc.) then that's the way to go. Make a set section and just blueprint it, most people do blueprints for a straight wall face and then for corners.Ammo is cheap enough you can eventually belt the entire thing if you wantpiping the entire thing with light oil(or crude oil if you're lazy) for flamethrower turrets is common too.Flamethrower turrets are broken and easily the best defense in the game.>>499623186Most people main bus as a starting baseIf you just slap down a lot of plates on the bus it both acts as a decent buffer and it makes it trivial to just think "hmm I will make this here now" which is a smoother way of progressing before bots than alternatives. That isn't to say it's definitive but it is simple and sensible for many

>>499645082the speedrun achievement for SA is under 100 hours
>>499623186In the early game you often need to share resources between a bunch of builds and there isn't enough for all of them to run simultaneously, so it's useful to be able to divert iron and copper from green chips to other things when green chips are backed up. Think when you want to temporarily stop science and expand the base and your mall now needs 4 belts of iron. Lots of copper on a bus doesn't make as much sense though since it isn't used for as much random mall shit. 80% of your copper goes to green chips, so you may as well just belt green chips instead of belting copper for the same reason it's usually better to belt copper plates rather than copper wire.

Space platforms drift backwards at 10km/sec if out of fuel. This drift is always away from their destination and towards their source. By tactically reversing course when out of fuel you can reverse backdrift at 10km/sec towards where you secretly wanted to go.It's slow but it'll get you there.

>>499658705Yeah, that's mostly a result of me trying to find the smallest possible radius for this. You can place walls on the center foundations and they're pretty spiky, but if you move out to the second row it starts to look nicer, and if you keep moving out, the walls will keep getting smoother, until you essentially have a smooth cylinder at around 11 foundations out, I think?You can also just get rid of the central stack of foundations, and if the lack of support bugs you, you can add it back in other ways. In picrel I just replaced the central stack with a normal stack of foundations, then added some support frames anywhere the foundations lined up straight with the center. You could also run support beams out 3-4 foundations and have them holding up the track from outside the spiral. In fact, I might try that out now.

>>499529834>>499530245havent played satisfactory yet but almost every time people talk about it i learn of more bullshit that makes me never want to play the game
>>499581339>the engineAs in... the same engine? Or a new one?Please tell me they aren't pulling a KSP 2
Why doesnt this interrupt work? I expected it to pick any active station to go pickup items.At the same time im wondering, how is the train supposed to know if an active station has fluid or solid cargo?I was kinda hoping i can have trains sitting in refuelling depots and then use interrupts to spring into action when there is a free active station, but im not quite sure how to accomplish something like that....
>>499661268I like the left one, that looks cool.I have no idea how to even start building that shit tho.
Interesting...
>>499663056Adding inverted ramps to the bottoms, making a central metal pillar, and adding steel beam supports is approaching a cool look. Needs a bit more work.As for how you make it, I'll post the basic steps in a minute.
Let's take iron ore as an example. I had a thought that I could just make simple signal on the place I dump iron to check if there is space for shipment. And then I could pass this signal to my iron ore mine and turn the rail signal off if there is no space to receive shipment. But before I finished making it I had another thought that if I have 2 iron mines with 2 trains waiting at those signals they will both start going to the station and second one will just block the railway waiting until train 1 leaves.How do I fix this? How can I send just one train and keep the second third forth etc waiting?
>heating tower has 250% efficiency>it produces more power from burning the same amount of fuel/coal/spoilage than a boilerMight be the best power source for Gleba and Aquilo if you can't be fucked shipping in uranium.
>>499665554Name the stations the same and set train limits
>>499666440Isn't it basically needed? Seeing how you need heat in Aquilo and letting stuff spoil in Gleba will clog up your belts, it doesn't look like energy is the problem there (maybe in Aquilo), you will end up with a wide surplus of energy I guess.
>>499666861You mean 1 train limit on the place I am dumping iron? And then if one of the trains starts going to that station another will stay in place because it can't go to that station?
>>499667090Yeah, you probably want to use them already for burning excess spoilage on Gleba and obviously you need them on Aquilo to do anything.I just found it interesting that they have that efficiency bonus, essentially making boilers obsolete.
Space platforms feel a bit overtuned. I've yet to get anywhere without fairly major damage, they're painfully slow and expensive to build, the UI doesn't work right when you're building on one, and while they're an interesting puzzle with actually interesting recipes with side product for once, it's a pain to figure all this out in cramped space. Also the entire concept is really stupid but I'm 50/50 on that.I don't really see how they can be automated, which reduces their coolness factor by a lot. They have to sit a long time at planets stocking enough ammo and fuel to survive the trip partially intact and having to babysit them is lame.
>>499667816Use a legendary platform dumdum
>>499667287Yes, when the train limit is 1, the other trains won't go there when there already is a train heading to that station.Btw you can also connect all your buffer chests at the station with wires and then connect them with the train stop, this allows you to automatically set a train limit depending on how full the chests are. This way you can avoid a train dropping stuff at a station that is almost full or change the train limit from 1 to 2 if there is more demand.
>>499667816>I've yet to get anywhere without fairly major damageBuild better platforms.>they're painfully slow and expensive to buildYour base is too small.>it's a pain to figure all this out in cramped spaceThen make them bigger. If your base is big enough it can supply lots of foundations.>I don't really see how they can be automated, which reduces their coolness factor by a lot.They're just space trains.>They have to sit a long time at planets stocking enough ammo and fuel to survive the trip partially intact and having to babysit them is lame.Again. Build better platforms. They're meant to be able to produce their own ammo from asteroids.I can almost guarantee all your problems are from building your Nauvis base too small.
>>499668483My design is already fine it's the parts that suck. Making it bigger just means having to shoot even more rocks, and that's a battle you always lose because...>They're meant to be able to produce their own ammo from asteroids.... you'll always need more ammo than you can make while travelling.
>>499531063Lasers are dumb. They take a shitload of power which is slim pickings from solar, and asteroids have laser resistance.You should rely on gun turrets and later rocket turrets, before finally using railguns for the really big ones.
>tested gleba factory overnight at 25x speed>sometime over the last 100 hours something broke and there is thousands of spoilage everywhere and when you clean it up more spoilage comes out>and when you clean it out more spoilage comes out>and then more spoilagebasically I learned nothing about why it broke other than fuck spoilage
>>499668893I put in tier 3 assemblers they can make ammo indefinitely and you just need to supply a line of ammo from the center to the turrets likely one west and one east. All of my assemblers and furnaces pick up directly from the center and insert directly to the center so assembling anything on demand is very easy
>>499571346>Those were expensive but at least you got like 80 slotsSE cargo rockets get you 500 slots of inventory per rocket.
>remove ALL wooden walls and replace them with a line of concrete walls because I can't be bothered to keep up with 50 alerts of them blowing up a minute, even if my shit base can barely produce enough>upgrade some of them to hardened walls with K2's reinforced plating, but it's prohibitively expensive so only in choice parts of the wall with really hard attacks>fire biters still manage to get through with their AoE attackGoddamnit I thought I'd be able to minimize losses by laying a shitload of laser turrets, improving my walls andremoving my pollution and just being real queit but that's it, I'm going to the moon so I can learn how to get rid of these fuckers properly, I see that later on the line I'll be able to discover a laser cannot turret that has 200+ tiles of range

>>499592637oh fuck. that's clever.nice, anon!
>>499669491But just doesn't work. You can't make enough ammo to cover the space needed to make that ammo (and do fuel etc.) I'm going through like 5 or more yellow mags per second and that'd need around 20 electric smelters, plus lots and lots of solar panels.
>>499670306Trips arent that long having hundreds of ammo in storage you won't run out for a trip. I have 5 assemblers connected to the base and I certainly still had hundreds of ammo left in storage after a trip.
>>499670647Then we're back to idling around planets. It's not impossible, it's just too messy and slow paced to be engaging.
>>499663478That's... unholy.>>49966305610,000,000 hours in mspaint btw, sorry for the shit quality. I've been putting off making a quick and dirt guide to give to some other people, so what better time than now to throw them together?
>>499663056>>499671284If instructions are unclear, let me know so I can fix them.
My mate is cheating
He makes infinite stuffs..
>>499670943A trip will give you a hilarious amount of chunks on your belts as long as you have the circuits to not waste them you can use the belts as storage. Vulcanus first also gives you better chunk processing so the idle between trips should drop especially with a fully filled water tank. If you want to use it for constant transport
quality electric poles
>>499671815>>499671924Not even the good stuff worth duping
>>499668893>you'll always need more ammo than you can make while travellingThis doesn't seem true at all.I haven't actually gotten to space yet, but I looked at the Factoriopedia and did some math.The route (from Nauvis) with the least metallic asteroids is Gleba, with around 1/3rd of asteroids being metallic.By the point of getting space platforms, you should have the physical projectile damage tech at at least level 6 (you can get it even higher with space science), which makes your bullets deal +100% damage (10 total).Each medium asteroid has 400 health and 10% phys resist (lets round that to 450 eHP).That means it would take 45 bullets to destroy an asteroid. Each magazine holds 10 bullets, so that means you use 4.5 magazines per asteroid.As such, it costs 18 (4.5*4) iron per asteroid.Metallic medium asteroids break into 3 small asteroids. Each small asteroid is harvested into 2 asteroid chunks. Each asteroid chunk is crushed into 20 iron ore, with a 20% chance of another chunk (let's ignore that).So essentially, you get 40 iron for each 18 you spend (20*3*2 divided by 3 because only 1/3 asteroids are metal).You get more than double the amount of iron you need, the rest can go to oxidizer. And this math doesn't even consider all the small asteroids that you can grab for even more. You should be swimming in resources.What I'd probably do is set up a circuit condition on the oxidizer production so it will only produce when you have enough ammo. Otherwise you might eat up all your iron (which you have plenty of otherwise).>tl;drI have mathematically proven that you have a skill issue.
>>499668483>>499668893>>499674441What the fuck is this density? Are you flying through a recently destroyed planet? Debris should be 500,000-1,000,000 miles apart on average.
>>499675172Factorio has never been realistic.
>>499675172If the debris were average, you wouldn't start the game in a crashed spaceship.
>>499675172Literally yes but also it's a video game

Just made my first space trip, I went to Fulgora
>>499668252Thanks. Didn't know about train limit but now I looked how it works and it is 100% enough for what I want.
>>499675172>Are you flying through a recently destroyed planet?Some may say shattered, even.
are biters way less aggressive than normal now or did I just get lucky with spawns?
>>499674441>physical projectile damage techFUCK, nothing said it works on asteroids.>skill issueI guess you're right this time. But still, your calc is not meaningful as it's the space all the foundries were taking up that was the killer.

>>499679103I still think of corneroids sometimes.
>>499674441this entire post is retarded because you don't realize you have to destroy the asteroids faster than you can smelt the iron and make the ammo even if you do pick up the asteroidsyou are going to >move the goalpost to you can produce it between tripsbut he said while travelling, not between trips
>>499676261flying, sorry about cutting off the message
>>499679608It's balanced around legendary assemblers chief, just use those.
i still don't understand what's galaxy of fame is about
So how do I control something like inserters if i want a certain item count on a belt? Like reading the belt as if it were a chest. Can I do that with inserter - wirre - belt? Or do I need computer parts? I do not understand circuits please understand I am retarded. THank you.
I have no clue how im even gonna start sorting all the recycler shit on Fulgora
>>499680870When you are retarded, the first thing you should do is stop being retarded. In this case stop trying to do what you are trying to do because there's no reason to do that.
>>499681064seeing how low the chance to get high quality shit is I probably guess bots
>>499680870
>>499681064Smart splitters, keep splitting and recycling and splitting until you have a main bus. If something clogs, a pair of recyclers can void items quite well.
>>499675157>>499676173
>>499681636why a pair?
>>499682615Pass stuff back and forth between them, and 75% vanishes each time.
Is there a way to copy a recipe and paste it into a request?
>>499683084yeah
>>499682165
the tank roadkill self damage is fo fucking retarded holy shitpic related is from just driving over 2 nests, but this is still not as bad as running over a clipping horde of biters, 90% of my tank's health was instantly gone
>>499683528you need to get a legendary tank, they have more hp
>>499681064>>499681636To add to this, you can set up a buffer system that detects when a chest is nearing full and send that stuff to a recursive recycling loop that will delete the excess items. Add an alert too so you can address the bottle neck before you start wasting scrap but you'll still have the failsafe from a clog.>>499683304Would you tell me how pls
>>499683528Collision damage got rebalanced to account for quality, you need a legendary tank, epic at least

>>499686315>>499686340Okay that makes sense. I didn't go back and look to see if there were any changes. Seems weird to not mention that in the tips section when adding a new mechanic to an older item.
New to factorio. In general, should I be trying to use both sides of a belt? I have some areas in which iron plates are only on one side of the belt. Should I be utilizing both sides?
>>499686871if you are moving lots of an item, using both sides lets you move moreyou can also use different sides of the belt for different items (this is generally useful for getting things in/out of assemblers)
>>499686871Yes. Either having the same item on both sides or two different items on their own side of a belt (like having a belt of yellow belts and inserters for your green science assemblers)
I purchased Factorio, and I am surprised how clunky it feels.If you want to build something you need to click its recipe, wait until it builds in your inventory, then find it in your inventory, click it, then close your inventory, then finally place the building, and then press Q (why Q?) to unselect it. It would be nice to click on the recipe and just place the building.Is there some setting to streamline those things?
why split the general when half of the thread talks about factorio anyway?
I've relied on AAI warehouses for so long I forgot how to make balanced vanilla train unloaders
I realized why the quality system is fucking stupid to me.irl, quality is pass-fail.If the part meets spec and is within tolerance, it passes.If the part doesn't meet spec or doesn't satisfy all tolerances, it fails.Pass rates at most decent companies in the Western world are ~98+%.Good companies count their failure rates in fractions of percentages.Toyota sets up its vendor contracts to auto-renew if a certain really high percentage of parts provided pass, which is why Toyota vehicles are fucking juggernauts. They incentivize their vendors to give them quality instead of the most quantity for the least money.Creating a bullshit rarity system copied from RPGs and MMOs doesn't make any sense. Does the part meet spec or not? What the fuck makes one thing "ok" and another thing "legendary"? If they both do their job their function should be virtually identical.
>>499662948>Why doesnt this interrupt work?Can't use wildcards in targets without wildcards in conditions, the one in the targets section is set by the first one that matches the condition.
>>499687778The less Factorio the more other conversation have a chance to exist. 5 Factorio replies between exchanges about another game is ok.50 Factorio replies between exchanges has a high chance of just cutting the exchange about the other game off completely.
>>499688063You can put a train in your pocket
>>499687737nothough later you get construction robots that automatically build things out of your inventory (or chests) and you can place "ghost" buildings and also get robots that automatically put things into your inventorylots of players rush to unlock construction bots because of thisbut if you ever suggest that maybe this bullshit should just be baseline people will ridicule you because they have deranged opinions about the game and actually enjoy things taking lots of monotonous workthere are few mods that let you start with construction bots but i personally usehttps://mods.factorio.com/mod/AutoGhostBuilder?from=searchhttps://mods.factorio.com/mod/Cursor_Craft?from=search
>>499688271>50 Factorio replies between exchanges has a high chance of just cutting the exchange about the other game off completely.That's what this thread has been for many years, except during other game releases (dsp, shapez, satisfactory, various zachlikes).The satisfactory full release just brought a few /v/ spergs who love doing this (I assume you're one of them).
>>499688063Legendary quality implies that it's somehow better than what it's supposed to be. Like your manufactory line assembles Honda Civics, and suddenly BAM you get Ferrari SF90. It's indeed stupid.
>>499688063you should look up what parts binning is

I have acquired a sizeable piece of cardboard which I intend to fold into a paper plane and throw off the roof of my building. The cardboard is waxed smooth on one side, bare and gritty on the other.For optimal flight characteristics, should higher friction be on top of or below the wings?
>>499689857>The cardboard is waxed smooth on one side, bare and gritty on the other.this might destabilize it if its weight can't compensate for it>For optimal flight characteristics, should higher friction be on top of or below the wings?i recommend building prototypes from 2 or 3 layered A4 papers and try it out
>>499688624>The satisfactory full release just brought a few /v/ spergs who love doing this (I assume you're one of them).Of course he is. Recently the thread has been getting stupid us vs them bullshit.
>>499689857actually >>499690275>this might destabilize it if its weight can't compensate for iti misunderstood, ignore this completely, i think the bare and gritty side should be upwards
>>499662374The new engine VRAGE 3. They would be presumably lifting as much tech from the live game as possible to paste on a newer engine. The most reasonable scenario is spengies 2 launches as a direct upgrade to spengies but sold separately, so the original experience isn't lost to the void. The KSP2 ending is trying to bottle lightning again by rebuilding from nothing, then failing catastrophically, and players stay in the original game. What I fear is a CSGO/overwatch case, the game gets a deep rework and rebrand and it sucks plus you can't go back and the game is dead.
>>499689857probably above? so the torque differential tends to raise the nose and not nosedive itselfHowever, the center of lift vs center of mass is what will dictate the flight characteristics really.
>>499688624>That's what this thread has been for many yearsI swear it was more mixed in the early days. There were generals for some of these games, but they'd die and fall off the board without enough users, so they just grouped up. I remember being surprised when I came to talk about KSP or something and finding that all conversation not about Factorio was basically gone because they couldn't get a word in edgewise.>(I assume you're one of them)I play most of the games in the thread, including Factorio, so I swing by periodically. It was nice seeing other games getting space because it led me to discover other games in the genre I hadn't heard about. Then Space Age came out and every thread now has to have 50 people asking which planet everyone went to first.Arguably, because there are now enough replies to sustain a Factorio general and an "everything else" general, it does make sense to just have two threads. The whole point of merging them was to keep them from falling off the board, and both threads do just fine lately.>>499690336>Recently the thread has been getting stupid us vs them bullshit.From what I've seen, that started back when Satisfactory 1.0 launched and a bunch of Factorio autists went berserk over the thread not being solely about Factorio for 2 weeks out of 52 in the year. You can't pretend you didn't notice every 10th reply in the thread being some retard insulting, criticizing, ridiculing, or just shitposting about Satisfactory, and half the time it was framed in terms of Satisfactory vs Factorio. Accusing Satisfactory players of "us vs them bullshit" for responding to shit being flung by Factorio autists qualifies as gaslighting.>>499689704seethe

>>499693312If you weren't a retard you wouldn't have to strawman. Criticism is fine. But autistic shitstains spamming hate non-stop because they can't tolerate having to share the thread for a whole TWO WEEKS goes beyond mere criticism. Don't act like you weren't tantrumming then just like you are now. Look at you stupid fucks. You even have your own thread right now that moves way faster than this one and you're here shitting into your own hands and smearing it all over the walls over other games being mentioned in /egg/. When you first fucked off to /fag/ this thread was the most peaceful it's been in weeks. Then you come back and suddenly it devolves into shit again. See the pattern? The root problem is the relative handful of Factorio autists that feel entitled to control the entire thread, even though it's for other games too, and even though Factorio currently has its own general. If you follow the reply chain up in any of the stupid shitflinging contests related to these topics you always find some retard asserting that this general should be dominated by Factorio. What does that tell you?

When you get to space and start fucking around on/between planets how do you check on the factories elsewhere? Do you unlock some kind of drone camera tech to check on things and make sure they aren't fucked up or do you only have the map view of things? I'm extremely paranoid of something going wrong on Nauvis once I decide to go to Gleba.
>>499711931Map view lets you switch between all the planets and stations. You can look everywhere and place ghost items for your bots to build no matter where you are.
>>499711931If you just want to look the map view works, if you want to build shit you have bots, if you want to kill shit you can remote control a tank.
>>499712296Does the tank have its own radar coverage now?
>>499713054No but you can give it a personal roboport so it can remote build radars when necessary
>>499687737I think I am getting used to the controls after several hours.But so many things feel unnecessary complicated. Like for example, all production speed is in items per second, so you have very small fractions like 0.31 items/sec. It would be nicer if all numbers were per minute.And then inserter's speed is in degrees per second. How many items is that? Who knows.
>>499714091>And then inserter's speed is in degrees per second. How many items is that? Who knows.(degrees/360)*hand stack sizeit *should* have made it into 2.0, dunno why notat least there's mods for it

new circuits are awesome. I made a logistic chest mall with just 3 combinators and a single assembler. Builds up to a certain count with the lowest quantity chest taking priority. I'm way too stupid to have done something like that before
>>499716534I respawn and it's just gone? eh, I dunno what I was expecting honestly
>>499715720What exactly is this? Is it meant as some kind of leaderboard or showcase thing where everyone can upload his base, or is this only a place where devs upload their stuff to show what's possible?
>>499717240Anybody can upload when they complete the game
>>499716769Please show it, I'm currently trying to do something similar and am curious how your thing works.
>>499695680Who knew 3D games were more complex than 2D games with SNES graphics??

>>499717545The only appropriate response for weirdos like him is to simply step over. They're not interested in /egg/ for that matter.
>>499717447Assembler outputs to a chest, use a constant combinator with the signals for the amounts of stuff you want (like 100 requester, 100 provider etc), subtract the produced items in the chest from that and use that signal to set the recipe of the assembling machineChanging the recipe through signal has the side effect of placing all ingredients in the output slot, so you have to pull that out of the machine and then get it back in there. The easiest way is to use a requester chest for input (or a chest into which you insert the input items, in controlled quantities), then you can cycle the ingredients from the output chest back into the input chest with a filter inserter
>>499716404>maps are 80% intersections>most of which he doesn't even useI don't get it
>>499718532It's posts like these that make me remember that I'm too much of a retard for this game.
>>499717447constant combinator for the initial recipe signals to be passed throughselector combinator to select for the lowest quantity chestDecider combinator to check for the amount you want>>499718532I wish to understand this but i can't. Don't you need an arithmetic combinator for each chest type?
>>499716769>>499718532You dont need bots
Why are redditors only a quarter as good as our resident autists?
>>499720039who said you needed bots?
The only time I've ever used circuits was for balancing my oil refining outputs to prevent them getting blocked. Outside of that I've never seen a need for touching them.
>>499720015The bottom machine could also make the steel chests, I don't know why I used a separate one for it. Bottom left constant combinator outputs 100 of each chest type, the contents of the provider output chest are subtracted from that and the result is used to set the recipe of the assembling machine at the bottom.The inserters loading the circuits and steel chests into the input chest (far right) use the combinators on the top to only load like 50 of each ingredient into the chest, the circuit setup is the same.The trick to factorio combinators is to use the fact that signals add up. Subtracting and multiplying signals is often a lot better than using conditions in a decider combinator, even in 2.0, but you need to adjust your thinking for it a bit.

Worm down.Also included in here is like 40 poison capsules (I was throwing them on cooldown) and a ton of red ammo.
At this rate, it will only take 12 more blueprints to have a Ballistic Warp Drive factory that produces 1 per minute. Rapturous.

>>499739043The requester chest can't be set to get rid of the stuff it isn't requesting so I'm worried it might get clogged up with stuff eventually. But this feeds into the much bigger problem of it just being so slow. It has to wait for the bots to bring over paltry amounts of items each time it wants to craft anything. Because I can't tell the requester chest to trash stuff I can't set a really high multiplier on the ingredient request or else it'll definitely get backed up.

This is probably an old feature, but I just realized that if you right-click drag with an upgrade planner, it will do the opposite of what it normally does.Eg. If you have a yellow belt to red belt upgrade planner, it will downgrade red belts to yellow belts when using right-click.It's pretty useful sometimes.

It's been 17 hours since the last time I seriously researched anything (just quickly grabbed prod 2 modules with a hand fed setup in the interim).But finally I'm ready to restart science with this very likely overbuilt setup.

That should ease up on semiconductor fabrication woes by having to go through the rock-sand-quartz-silicon route on the moon: k2 silicon is literally just used for solar panels and electronic circuits (which you need a lot of obviously, but still)Not gonna do the other way around because it should be a one way trip, LL silicon needs to be gotten from silica from moon rock processing.I was wondering if I should do the same transformation from LL silica to K2 quartz but it's quite literally only used in the production of silicon and to make laser turrets. Technically also heat pipes, but I gated those behind the moon, they require silica and aluminium plates (you'd use quartz and copper for it otherwise, making it particuarly unfeasible to craft them on the moon since it has no copper outside of washing wastewater from iron enrichment).>>499754852I love it.

>>499762013Yes, you can bring as much as your ship can carry.Aquilo requires you to bring stuff. All other planets you could technically start from absolutely nothing - including techs(if they didn't add the new weird auto unlock techs)That said, Vulcanus has crazy good solar and Fulgora requires lightning rods for your base to survive and they make power for free. So power specifically isn't that important on those two at least.
bit of an odd question perhaps, what do I need to search for to MAKE the system to make things in a game (preferably with unreal engine 5)youtube is somewhat obviously bad at searching these days and "construction" leads to either unreal for engineers or "how you make "fortnite" houses" thats NOT what I mean I mean how to "kerbal space programs construction building" or space engineering a grid in game, how to MAKE that. how to stick a cylinder with physics to another with a pivot or servo or axel and it do science?I got tired of looking at all these different games and thinking if only X did Y, i'm making my own now.
>>499763453Better off asking in agdg and using the pages in their op for a start at that. I'm a 3d game artist and I can tell you it takes around a month to be able to make 3d props but you won't have the muscle memory to do it quickly for a much longer time, around 4 months to be passable at animation, at least 4 months to be good at sculpting, you need to spend at least an entire month on hair, hair being the hardest thing to render overall, and lastly at least a month on unreal vfx which thankfully is free to get good results.

Almost getting to research first planet (on my first playthrough) Which one should I choose and how much should I bring with me? Seems more fun to start from zero to get the general idea of the planet then try to do proper base when you get the loop? Checking the "galaxy of fame" on the website it's so sad to see so many main bus bases... Thank god I started recently and will never play that way ever.
>>499765895Eh, I happened to be using that material this very moment. If the zoomie had played Garry's Mod like the rest of us he'd have the nomenclature for physics constraints.
>>499765993Screenshot your non main bus base. I would like to see it.For people to have finished the game already they probably played fairly quickly and main bus is a good simple design to progress with, even if it is rather cringe.And to answer your question:Vulcanus and Fulgora are the "good" two. Gleba is suffering and (comparably, and especially as a first planet) unrewarding.Fulgora is probably the quickest to get back to space from when starting from zero, if you want to try multiple.While that does sound like a fun way to experience the new planets, when you do finally get to Aquilo, you actually do need to bring shit with you or you can't progress so you'll just have to go back(if your ship survived and you can, elsewise respawn back)
>>499759768Anon... that was Trupen.
>>499755613I feel like we did better on autopilot
>>499766602I do spagetthi start and tried to get into trains quickly and to bots to switch to them i'm not a specialist at all and it can surely be optimized but didn't want to spoil myself. The one thing I would like to be able to do but not played enough yet for it is making lines of products from start to finish from ores to final product on one line of production I know it's doable for some of it but didn't look at the designs cause I want to try it myself. And then later on full on train and bots with the specials chests is much easier for me to do something that work without too much thinking. Main bus are just bad to me and I want to feel a transition when I get new tech rather than getting a bigger line in my base. At least on nauvis. I don't know how it apply to other planets yet.
>>499767096Yeah the new planets mix stuff up nicely. I'm not criticizing you at all. I always start with a bus base but I never keep it for too long.That said, it sorta is satisfying in its own way, with smelting stacks being "roots", the bus is a trunk and the factory sorta grows out from the bus like tree branches.Last game of 1.0 I played was spaghetti and at most 1 rail 1 train supply lines because I was playing with somebody who hadn't played before and I wanted to observe how funny her designs would be.
>>499762723they're already twice as good as they used to be
>>499767374I find the main bus to look or feel organic to me at all but I just never did it because I prefer to play in another way. Felt like it would be easier and not as rewarding to go with a main bus as a new player. And I like the idea of stacks building a lot more when i'll be able to do it, most likely on my second run I will try to do it from the start and see if i'm able to do it, I saw the idea on a stream with team science fighting thingy but didn't want to just copy what they did so started playing instead and want to try myself.I'm going to Fulgora for now will see how it will be. I'm talking with a friend playing too and he went to Gleba first i'm pretty sure I don't want to do it right now, he's a much more experienced player than me and struggling a little.
>>499767457Oh I know it's like twenty times better than it used to be. It was such a good change.
Isn't spoilage just ash from Pyanodon's?
>5,270 hours played on current giga-base ultra-mainbus Factorio savegame>Expansion released>guess it's time to start overOooooh the TPS! Back to 60! I haven't seen 60TPS in almost 2 years. It's beautiful! n_n
>>499761206Retarded bait, but I feel like rubbing your face in your own shit so I'm going to detail just how much of a retard you are>400k * 35 = 14 million>assuming 100% of sales on steam so steam takes their 30% = 9.8 million>divided by 4 years of production = 2.45 million/yearUnless kovarex was doing lines of blow in his office and visiting a whore house every weekend, I highly doubt they had an annual budget even close to 1 million/year, let alone 2.45. And thats worst case scenario where all the sales are on steam, every sale from their direct store is even more profit for them.
>>499760812ExplainAlso if the knot socket for a werewolf did the same as his mod, the platform is stationary and the roids come at you to create the motion illusionSo nuke marks are permanent and ruin the illusionMuch like finding out as a furrie how little cum animals make
yeah I savescummed for rare mk2 armor, what of it?
>>499771198You might as well just cheated it in, would have saved you a lot of time
>>499770918they're probably gonna update it for the next decade too
>>499714091Yeah the inserter rates don't really say much besides bigger => better. Items per second is fine imo since belt speeds are multiples of 15 items per second, so it makes matching assembler and belt speeds easier. Assemblers, chemical plants etc having different crafting speed multipliers is much more annoying.I think a big part of why more experienced players don't notice the clunky UI stuff is due to mindset. My mindset when playing is one of either:>1 - don't care about ratios, just build more of whatever is running low.>2 - OCD perfectionism, use online ratio calculators (kirk mcdonald etc) to plan it out.If 1 then I only look at tooltips etc to get a rough estimate of shit. If 2 then I'm not looking at tooltips etc at all since I'm doing all the ratio planning outside of the game.
>>499771198I fill armor with legendary items, then recycle them on the next planet to get around arbitrary inventory restrictions.
>>4997712834 attempts with four tier 2 rare quality modulesdid I get lucky?
>>499770918>>499761852Anons... Anything under 6 million sales is a huge blunder for any modern game.
>>499771826rip Wube shareholders, they'll be jumping out windows
Trainfags behold
>you post your own base when you finish the game and add it to the constellationthat's actually very cute
>>499772351stolen feature from DSP, Wube is creatively bankrupt
>>499771323post-release budget are always a fraction of development. In a few months it's going to winnow down to just 1 guy full-time on maintenance of 2.0 and the expansion, with the others seldomly chipping in a few hours of work when needed for their area of expertise. the rest of the team will shift to development of their next project.
What are your small blue prints that have significantly improved your qol? I need some inspiration pless. I'm talking about things like 4 mergers in a line with constructor-distance, between them.
>>499772263those poor support beams
It's actually insane just how well K2 synergizes with LLMostly I'm just noticing how hollow LL is and how it needs something like K2 to make it interesting
>>4997727488 constructors. It places in one click, it deletes in one click, and you need hundreds of the little shits.

How do i check a platform's power production/consumption?
>>499778332put down an electric pole
>>499774724>>499775037>>499775535I lived but the ship got fucking demolished on the way back because i underestimated the amount of ammo i'd need.
I needed a crane and nobody was replying to my posts so, I just built it myself.FUCK YOU GUYS.
Btw if you are a GeforceNow fag like me, the trick of using family view to type in a launch command to activate high-res sprites isn't necessary anymore, they finally fixed that and the game now remembers your graphic settings.
>>499775146I tried making generic trains, but I had a problem where trains would just continuously pick up the same stuff because the station was closer, and then waiting in the depots forever.I think if you want to do it properly, you need have train stop priorities that automatically set themselves based on how many trains already have a thing.I decided to say fuck it and just use interrupts for refueling (which works quite easily).
>>499770918Wube has at least 28 employees according to their own team page on their site, probably more since it just lists the people working on the game not secretaries or cleaners or such, but let's just go with that for now. 2.45 million a year is just about enough to cover the minimum wage for just these people considering they are all expensive programmers and tech workers. kovarex presumably does take a cut and other owners also expect some compensation + there's bunch of other costs.But that's pretty irrelevant because anons point wasn't that they didn't make money (they did) but that it flopped, which it did.
>>499781102The base game continued to sell during development of the expansion, many people will have bought the base game and the dlc at the launch of the dlc and the dlc hasn't even had its first weekend of being out yetpretty roaring success
>>499781102>2.45 million a year is just about enough to cover the minimum wage for just these people considering they are all expensive programmers and tech workersthis is Czech Republic mind you, even 40k a year is enough to live like a king
>>499782153I'm aware which is why I said it just about covers it (because it does), if it wasn't then 2.45 mill would barely get you even one good programmer in say California.A decent programmer staring wage is something like 80k CZK for which you need to slap in about 50% on top to cover social security payments and other expenses just involved with keeping someone on the payroll, that's 120k x 28 x 12 which comes out to 1.6 million euros. That's without paying kovarex or the other founders anything yet, doesn't include their office or it's maintenance, any equipment like computers or serves, any benefits or pay raises these people would have inevitable got during their 10 year career in a reasonably successful growth company or any ancillary personnel like cleaners, secretaries, handymen and other such that inevitably have to be hired or rented to operate a company not any outgoing expenses like loans, taxes payments to investors etc.

>>499755541Uranium shells demolish the demolishers It's almost too easy
>>499783965might as well just make a turret wall for the effort involved
Fingers crossed that I connected everything correctly.
