You can completely remove screws and metal rods from your production lines with the right recipes. Unless you specifically wanted to keep them and use one of the other recipes to make them more efficient, which some people choose to do. I think they're crazy but hey.

So far the hilights are one that lets me make 10+ rotors/minute using copper sheets (but only if I supply it with an absolute shitload of screws, wiping out any space savings) and one that lets me turn 10 steel -> 45 rods, which is a pretty nice upgrade compared to the iron recipe. I have not found any alternate screw recipes.

Got pretty lucky, I only opened about 5 HDDs and got alternative screws and reinforced plates. I guess that's why I never really wanted to open more...also some recipes are straight up bad.

The HDDs roll from the tech level you're at so if you want better chances at the screws and whatnot, try and do some early on otherwise you'll have to luck out later.

From what I remember, when they rebalanced the alt recipes in Update 3, they made all the screw-free recipes less efficient. While you avoid screws, you'll end up using more raw materials overall.

I had sort-of thought that maybe it wouldn’t register them if you restarted the session but I never checked. At any rate, I always use beacons to mark crashes Cleared; it lets me look at the map and see how far out in a direction to go before I start seriously looking again.

How are y'all getting update info? It's really frustrating that they post about updates in weird places instead of their main site. Their discord doesn't have anything on it.

Opentarget posted:What do they mean by overflow? I'm dumb and don't get it. When all other outputs from a splitter are backed up, only then will it send output to the overflow output. You could use this, for example, to send items to be turned into tickets only if the storage is full.

Let's say you're sorting a bunch of items into storage. You set up smart splitters and you have one of them to sort metal plates into a container. When that container fills up, the splitter can't send anything to that output anymore. Before, your options were to have the entire belt up to that splitter get blocked, or to set one of the outputs to "any" which meant that your plates were split evenly between storage and the any output. With overflow, it will send plates out the specified output until it fills up and then sends them out the overflow output. The overflow handles any parts that are blocked or anything not handled by the splitter.

If you have Area Actions installed (some of its features are a bit janky, but IMO it's worth having just for the "area deconstruct" command), equipping it will leave you empty-handed because it doesn't have a tool model. That's what I've been doing.
