Vulcan can get up to 1600°C in a solar storm during the short-hot season. I've got a partially set-up sterling generator whose working gas I hadn't cleared even for 1k°C, so I took a quick-save and let 'er rip. (They blow up if the working gas hits 12 megapascals, though the in-game guide says 10.) Fires can spread through doors, and so can consume your base. If you have a burning room it's probably a good idea to empty out the oxidizer by tearing down the walls.

There's only a handful of uses for cryo science as a whole and lithium asteroids already give lithium proper, so no need for holmium and everything

Just boxcraft stacks of the common components. Having something like 50 electric miners and 50 steam engines parked away for use in other buildings already helps tremendously to reduce the handcraft tedium.

I was going to go above the 40 hour mark so I just rushed everything I needed to get to the solar system edge with 1 fusion reactor, 3 railguns and 2 fusion generators
I even cannibalized the biolabs's speed 3 beacons to get enough
Then I made an interrupt to go towards the solar system edge when I had at least 3K rockets in storage
It worked in a test world so it should work in theory assuming it doesn't take 15 minutes for me to get there

And this was by cannibalizing my base, that's hilarious

Onlygleba is actually very fun but it robs spage of a lot of its complexity, as you'd expect from spage being wrapped around in one planet
Pentapods never bothered me because I took care of them preemptively and only went all in on the pollution when i had tesla turrets
the base stayed a pitiful 90 spm but I turned it into 300 spm with biolabs, and I didn't research anything past damage 9, explosive or physical
asteroids having the planetary resources is sadly easily exploitable, I don't know how you guys did it on the serb but I had far more lithium than I could ever have needed, tungsten was free and I had so much coal I never even used coal synthesis on glaubis
the start and stop method was also kind of needed though because both planets had a fuckton of otherwise useless asteroids that you couldn't cycle for actually useful chunks for your ship, I understand that tesla turrets were actually the way to get rid of tungsten asteroids since they had no electrical resistance but I didn't wanna bother with nuclear when this method worked so well
I wish that instead of tons of tungsten asteroids you could have had a 1% chance to get a demolisher larva embedded into the rock and start demolisher agriculture
would have felt a lot more gleba, and the mod is out there so it could be done with recipe editing
as it was I just mostly ignored the platforms and let them run voiding the overflow
I am always going to go for gleba as my first planet after this, biolabs are absolutely worth it, the rewards are incredible and the maintenance cost is minimal

By the way, for anyone else playing Soviet Republic, that's the wrong way to connect a crude oil pipeline to a refinery. The refinery can pull from the external tank, but the tank cannot push into the refinery's internal tank. It works, but the large internal storage is just wasted. It would have been better to connect it directly to the pump.

Only annoying part of Gleba first in normal spage is eventually having stompers show up. If you can get tesla/artillery fast enough it wouldn't be a big issue though. Alternatively you can just get a few spidertrons kitted out and remind yourself to patrol around your cloud (if you remember to do so). Agreed with Gleba being a good starter though because the rewards are super powerful.

The problem, I feel, is that in 3D the spaghetti potential explodes dramatically. The more dimensions, the more freedom in an extremely super-linear way.
So you either add some restrictions, like DSP's belt system with slope limits or Satisfactory's similar limits but with vertical lifts which are annoying to place and have restrictions; or you open the space for immense spaghettification and make it extremely difficult to manage orderly, blueprintable lines.

Minecraft modded pipes are basically the latter. It's pretty kino but the complete lack of building automation (except for multiblocks, in a limited fashion) severely hampers late-game scaling. Minecraft with factorio-like blueprints may or may not actually work really well though; all the auto-builder or blueprinter mods in minecraft suck fucking ass but maybe it's just because nobody has made a good one yet.

>>547652327
>auto-builder or blueprinter mods
bro, your lua turtles?

>>547652531
>bro just fucking define your factory in Lua scripts inside tiny fucking interfaces, it's literally just as good as pressing Ctrl+C -> Ctrl+V!
If you think turtles are a good blueprint substitute, you must never have played factorio

Plus I'm like 90% sure they likely can't handle any sort of complicated machines from any mod, just like every other autoplacer, because nobody supports entities properly let alone ones that need complex gui configuration. Unless CC/OC has decent mod integration with specific ways to place and configure machines from other mods in which case it might be the only one that works out of them all, but again, see my previous point above

>>547652327
You can just make elevation less important or stop making builds that use too much of it so it stops looking like that

>>547652327
>in 3D the spaghetti potential explodes dramatically

>smaller, more flexible, low-volume transport vs. larger, bulkier, less flexible, but high volume transport, but more than just "belts vs trains"
even IC2 had falloff for power transfer and transformers where in factorio everything is "perfect"
some anon mentioned intermodal containers never being used in most /egg/s, using the above opens an opportunity for those to come into play

Wew you guys are the wrong people for any of this

>>547654527
>respond to nobody
>no meaningful contribution
>somehow still being a smug faggot
look at this insecure amateur game dev trying to demoralize
i see you, jew

>>547654359
I feel like adding power falloff would add too much complexity not that I mind it for me personally but it wouldn't be intuitive to the average joe. Also how would you even decide what elevation something stops working at and why would you do that? Tools to build vertically as much as you want should be available but I think what everyone wants here is simplified continuous building mechanics like a good blueprint system in first person. I also don't like how big machines are in satisfactory in general and would prefer smaller systems where you have a better view, just personal preference

>>547655059
if a senile minecraft mod can add power falloff, a more focused /egg/ can easily do so, as well as an option to just turn it off if the player chooses
if you want to build vertically without limits, that can also be an option
if you choose both of those options (no power falloff, no verticality), you then get the ability to build a spaghetti nightmare (you could probably still build one anyway, you're just no longer disincentivized from it)
that was just a response to "the problem, i feel, is that in 3d, the spaghetti potential explodes dramatically". it might help "more average joe's" by guiding them toward naturally not making a complete mess.
a preset could be as simple as "no verticality at all and no power falloff" and bang, you get factorio, but you'd have the option to have more
i think minecraft mods had no good blueprint system because nothing quite needed the volume required to necessitate blueprinting things as modular pieces of a large factory. same goes for stationeers.
i have no idea what the satisfcatory devs were smoking though, probably their own jenkem

>>547655503
Option to turn it off is how I would normally think, actuallu thought about that immediately, I'm unsure what games do that already with something that would change mechanics that much

>>547655708
stationeers creative mode doesn't exactly turn off the survival necessities (they must have spaghetti coded their game pretty good), but it does make it so you don't die from all of them except explosions
so you can turn off the limitations that require you to have a breathable, non-toxic atmosphere, heat regulation, etc., which is a big change in mechanics that opens more freedom*

You could make it so temp drops with altitude, oxygen requirements increase, and boiling points for fluids change. Assuming you have pressure as a mechanic that would also change but usually your elevation would have to start to get really high for this to have a meaningful effect

>>547656270
That said if you do have pressure simulated and have to power it and have fluid mechanics the cost of transporting that vertically could be another hamper

Actually everyone would just resentfully (despite the ease of obtaining them in basically every modpack) spend the diamonds to make glass fibre cable for reduced energy loss despite HV's packet loss amortizing to nothing with just a transformer, and instead immediately switch to cabling from a soulless mod that transfers energy losslessly, sucks your cock, makes you a sandwich, and wipes your ass all at the same time.

k2 for 2.0 is actually really bad as overhauls go
it was a cool 1.1 overhaul but after spage it's just sad
I would only recommend it for K2SE nowadays

>>547683501
I think k2 is still a very good overhaul on 2.0. The space age patch grafted on is bad, but just use normal k2 with 2.0 and it's still very good.
Why do you think it makes it bad?

no, it's probably going to have a decent playerbase because of the absolute amount of grifting that the astronotoobers are giving it. unless it collapses in on itself or the head of the team gets outted as a groompedo, it's going to be a success.

I tried it during 1.1. I found it interesting but lacking in potential, you never had a reason to use the myriad of weapons you were handed over, the imersite mechanic felt like it would fit bringing it from another planet than a planetary resource. The pollution mechanics were incredibly weird, but it seems like raiguard did a 180 and moonwalked away from them entirely making it just as bad. The new buildings were interesting and useful for the throughput. Sadly spage buildings took over big time and they just look like"guys look I made the assembling machine bigger" now.
K2 as a whole it felt like a good piece to tack on to another overhaul mod, I personally tried it with rampant and lunar landings on my second run, but on its own the cracks really start to show. If I am going to be locked out of spage, I want something that is very good or can be used with other overhaul mods that aren't around at this moment (other than SE)

It doesn't help that the current implementation is kind of half-baked and subject to changes, I am honestly very iffy about the biomass rework, but the old implementation was so laughably bad it broke the game in half

2.0 K2 feels like 2 steps forwards two steps back and it doesn't have anything else to hold it up.

It's main appeal was being smaller scope and short, roughly 70-100 hours from what I've seen. I intend to go back to space age to build bigger scale and optimize more after k2.

I really enjoyed my k2 2.0 playthrough, although I was playing 10x so it did require a slightly bigger base. I still think I enjoyed it more than my repeat SA playthroughs, it still had the core factorio feel.
It's also one of the mods that is fun to build big in, and I think unlocking the sign is a fun capstone goal.
>>547684592
I think k2 ends up with bigger builds than space age - machines produce so much in space age that you end up using two machines per build anyways.

I need a latch that turns off some auog slaughterhouses if power on my soon to be built accumulators falls under a certain threshold and allows redirection from slaughterhouses to auog generators. Do I even need to make an rs latch for that?

Playing 10x or even 100x+ marathon (but maybe starting with personal construction bots so you can blueprint) should honestly be the prescribed NG+ way of playing. In vanilla you don't use so much shit because you blaze right past it in research and never look back, but slowing everything down makes you consider alternatives. Py also does this with its replacement of burner inserters and it really makes you approach the logistics challenge differently. But then it becomes the usual except 10x bigger.

this actually fixes a shitton of problems with using yellow belts in general since you're usually bottlenecked by only being able to output 7.5 items per side and you get a ton of ores you need to fit on a belt, to the point when you're mining stone you're filling a yellow with 3 miners
now every yellow belt is a red belt

first off those things are going to use a shitton of power as well if you're using AAI loaders, unless you're going to power everything with fish oil, in that case more power to you but that still seems retarded
second, the very idea of stacking loaders is simply beyond ridiculous
it's not treating yourself or the game seriously
just debug yourself a free belt of resources at that point

>>547705284
the question was "what's the catch"
I presented you the catch
if you think thats worth replacing 3000 mechanical inserters when you literally don't need anywhere close to stacked belt throughput for anything except coal and maybe coke be my guest
it's just a few dozen powerplants afterall

screw coal power plants, I think I'm just going to power my heat exchangers with your molten salt

Is it really like that? I just started to short circuit on acetylene which means I have to start mining more coal.
45 raw coal/sec->turns on 9 coal to oven gas->all coke gets turned to acetylene->all excess acetylene and oven gas gets turned to steam for steam engines. But I have no idea what ampunt of energy that converts to and the machines consume some of it

>>547706740
forget raw coal, later on you get red hot coke which is exponentially more energy efficient and gives you hotter coke gas to make into more hot air.

>>547703773
py doesn't offer stack inserters at all, only bulk inserters. you left space age on.

>>547707083
Yeah, I enabled all feature flags to get elevated rails and everything, I was talking about quality and recyclers before. Quality is there but it's kinda shit, the devs tell you that much, and recyIers are straight up broken. Py has a shitton of intra-mod integration and obviously the DLC is one of them. I tried py spoilage setup but other than making albumin to turn blood into free urea before unlocking py2 atomization recipe (which is actually very good mind you) I don't really see the point. Some of the stuff is actually a gigantic pain in the nuts too, like red hot coke decaying into coke. I feel like they buffed biomass power by having biocrud turn directly into power instead of turning it into biomass, and I'm not at chem yet so I don't know how the nuclear decay changes alter the chemline. Interesting proposition though, although I feel that if they mainline it for SPY everyone is going to riot.

I'm scaling up my SA midbase, using common materials only, so that I can launch it to run productivity research in the background while I build my legendary production factory to be able to build my real megabase.
Currently targeting 10k SPM, of nauvis sciences only to begin with since that lets me spam mining productivity. Crazy that in SA you can just casually shit out 10k SPM and I need like about a hundred foundries, a couple hundred assemblers, and a dozen cryoplants and that's it. I can't even call that a megabase and it's 10x faster than vanilla megabases used to be (and that's before biolabs).

Woh. Nice compact switching ground for 1:1 cargo transfer.
I've been wondering about the hassle of plotting schedules to avoid having trains meant to service the surface world getting 'stuck' on the orbital platform or vice versa when building a proper N:M train grid. Almost figured: fuck it, LTN / Cybersyn it is.

But this type of thing with the elevated rails is actually compact enough to get the job done nicely while keeping the actual two networks still separate.

I am going to shameless steal this for my own playthrough, anon.

How bad can a base's problem be? Just patch them out. I get having problems when making like circuit builds, or large train networks and trying to be clever, where you make some blueprint or station/circuit condition and it doesn't work and you have to adjust everything. But in a simple factory pre-postgame, where it's just shitting out items, there's not much that can't be very easily be patched.
The only exception might be gleba in which case yeah good luck you gotta get it working right.
Literally everything else is whatever. My science production on fulgora is bottlenecked because I don't recycle trash fast enough and there's no space on the island to add more recyclers so I constantly have like 30 "no space for storage" alerts from my bots there, I've ignored it for the past 70 hours and it shits out all the research I need because the planets in SA are absolutely fucking piss easy.

This is your storage area, wdyd

I'm trying to find more information on PY caravans, but I'm drawing a blank. Is it not possible to simply call a caravan only when you're below a certain resource on the caravan outpost? Are you supposed to use 1 caravan per caravan outpost?

I've set a combinator to send a signal with value 1 every time I'm below 300 items, empty its cargo then go and fill its internal caro at the source. The issue is that the caravan empties its cargo, goes back to refill, then goes back to the other area and waits there until the signal comes online. It's just idling there for no reason.
I figured I'd try to let it go towards another outpost, but what it did was it just waited there instead.

She does that regardless of how fast you do it, and while you're doing it you can only connect every belt MANUALLY, she has one line for the entire thing that is condescending by default, almost reflecting the overall feeling of the devs towards their players.

I mean there is literally no defending the blueprint lines, if that doesn't scream 'we hate that we had this idea and we hate our players for being smarter than us' i don't know what does, i don't wanna sound confrontational but if you don't know what i'm talking about you shouldn't be talking about what Satisfactory is or isnt.

Okay I got it, I never played around with interrupts and I'm not sure if I'm even doing something stupid, but it turns out that apparently for what I wanted to do it was much easier to add interrupts to the schedule saying "y only has 100 items, go and fill it up" and only having the schedule being "fill up your cargo at x"
That means that the caravan only goes to somewhere when there's a need for it, and that it goes somewhere where it needs to be only when called, which means that it doesn't waste food and doesn't waste time at a station
Also I added an interrupt to go and pick up more food from a central area whenever they're low

using the air conditioner to do exactly what it was meant to do, move energy from gas in an input pipe to gas in the waste pipe isn't "cheaty" merely because you have some ridiculous arbitrary rules you made up in your head about how many moles of gas, how many liters, what temperature, and how much pressure need to be in the waste pipe in order for an air conditioner to be used
it is absurd that you'd chide someone for not having read your mind in order to not trigger you, unless you're a woman, and who the fuck would ever want to play an /egg/ game with a nagging, irrational, woman?

you have my permission to cook in your base since you and the other women on the stationeers server don't know how air conditioners work

I never said dont do it i just said im trying without it on my save where im filling spaces with my own skulls as i still dont have automated water and just barely escaped o2 game over. I am sorry if you felt like i was policing you. plus i just reconnected and saw "the pulse one" in chat and just wanted to say i didnt try it The daisy chained AC works its probably what was said tried and true. Also theres a plan you can participate and fill, it was meant to avoid the massive mess we've done. I probably should have taken part in the atmos building instead of assuming everyone knows better than me...

You know thinking about it we could also split up and build our own bases, tho anon's ram would explode from mining again

Jokes on you, Vulcan doesn't need your permission to cook a base.
