Fun fact the MAM is global. If you’re out exploring and have a drive just plop a second MAM down and shove it in. Disassemble the mam and keep exploring. Repeat every 10m so you don’t have to spend an extra couple of hours decrypting your drives when you get back to base.

I think they follow the powered building rules. If you leave for a while some grow back. I have no proof of this other than having to run down a super long belt to upgrade the miner. The fruit had grown back along the way and I know I would have grabbed them beforehand because I’m a pack rat for that poo poo.

Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:Alt...alternate recipes? Go search around for drop pods and get harddrives out of them. They'll have a bunch of different requirements to open them. You stuff the hdd in the MAM and it'll give you the choice of 3 different ways to make stuff.

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.

tater_salad posted:All my stuff is so lovely and messy right now. But I've only had the game for like 3 days. Eventually I'll take it all down and redo it when I'm Rich If it works just leave it until you hit the top tier of research and have access to everything you might need. I’ve fallen out of this game a few times because trying to redo everything I had can be daunting and frustrating if your designs turn out to be kind of poo poo. In my opinion it’s better to build new and divert resources to it before disassembling the existing stuff.

Assuming you don’t do spreadsheets often, a good idea is set a few cells at the top to be whatever rate your recipe does and then reference that through the rest of it when doing calculations. Makes it easier to just update one cell for something new that have to do each one along the chain.

Crazyeyes24 posted:So here is a subjective question: Do you guys normally set up a separate line for basic building pieces (Iron Plates, rods, Wire, Cable, etc.) from your complex assembly lines (Smart plating, etc) or do you just pull from the supply of those lines? I build extremely large buffers (like a dozen double size containers in series) for ore and ingots and then feed off of those. I tend to make separate systems for higher end products from ingot to finished. I also never load balance and just do overflow for everything as long as the belts support it. I’m not super great at the game but I rarely run out of stuff.

Depends on what you’re sinking. If it’s raw ore or ingots it’s not going to get you much in the way of coupons and just keep your power consumption up. Personally I just have huge buffers and run overflow to my machines. If I need to expand production I split off from the buffer storage and it seems to do ok. It’s not the most efficient since I usually start with the manufacturer and work backwards until I hit a bottleneck and work on that until everything’s fine. However I sink the absolute poo poo out of resin because there’s always too much of it and every time my grid fails it’s because of the drat resin.

Copper ore is 50 stacks while wire is 500 so that might affect your transportation valve if you’re using trains or trucks.

Dark_Swordmaster posted:I don't even want blueprints so much as I do ghost building/planning. This is what I was thinking would be best. Something like a somewhat prohibitively expensive 1-5 use drone that you can use to select a segment of factory, then place that selection in a projected hologram from the drone and each machine you have to click on with resources to build but foundations and walls that are contiguous are single click builds. Theres a natural limitation on it due to the size of the area you can select and the amount of stuff you can carry to build it at once. You still have to belt and pipe but everything else would carry over as a placeholder.

When the core loop of the game is building and linking up machines to perform a task subverting that element of the game is self defeating. It’s not just “reasons” it’s because they have the requirement of manually setting things up as the core of the game and built around that. It’d be like making mario auto jump to the next platform because constantly jumping is tedious to some players.

Super Rad posted:Yeah so you could... just not use the features that other people want? I know a game like this attracts broke brains but this is ridiculous. I think it’s you who has the broke brain there chief. This game isn’t what you want and there are others that are. Play them instead of trying to make this game into something it’s not. And there’s options for you to get what you want so go use them instead of bitching constantly and accusing people of having broke brains for pointing out that your outrage is of your own design.

I can see foundations being something that should be expanded upon instead of placing each one individually as that doesn't really subvert anything other than a bunch of mindless clicks to lay out an area. Earlier in the thread I advocated for ghost buildings that could be filled in later as something that would be nice since it would allow you to more easily plan out your base even if you don't have all the materials just yet and give you something to do other than walk away and eat lunch while you get some computers churned out. It's the same amount of work and doesn't take anything away from the gameplay as designed unlike just plopping down a blueprint of a 10GW turbofuel factory and walking away. If you want to make a huge megabase that makes 50 supercomputers a minute then youre going to have to put in work. Thats just the game and making that kind of ridiculously over the top challenge easier would only serve to mitigate the early game or the vast majority of players who are doing things "wrong". You can't tailor your game to powerusers because it makes it a worse experience for everyone else and/or makes it so easy that people get bored and dont continue to play.

My 1,200MW coal plant is getting strained and I don't have enough coal in that area to line up another eight plants so I figured why not? Main bit of advice is to make sure you plan for extra material and sinking it. And then dealing with the fluid overproduction that you can’t sink.
