Bhodi posted:Sadly, all the links are broken, so all you get is what once was. For what its worth, the problem was always that devs don't like to document stuff because it's hard work and boring. The answer to that has just changed from forum posts (alright, but prone to going out of date and having dead links/etc) to youtube, to discord. And of those I'll take discord over youtube anyday, even if I prefer a well-documented wiki over that.

I know we shitpost about this a lot but honestly like, I agree with this around 25% - specifically the part where it's like, 'at a certain point, I don't want to have to care about resource X, I want it taken care of.' ProjectE spirals out of control pretty fast, but IMO I do hate it when I'm deep in the tiers of a system and it's like 'oh yeah...I need iron now' and I need to go expend as much time and energy as it takes to get HyperPlutonium to get some iron. I like systems where as you progress, the earlier tiers get more and more efficient, or simply obsolete.

SynthesisAlpha posted:I think it was modern skyblock 2 that did a good job of this with the upgrades to the system that generated resources. You had a small multi block that would generate ingots from dusts and based on the Catalyst and multi block components you might need multiple dusts to generate an ingot or you'd poof a couple stacks in no time at the top end. Yeah, the only caveat I'd have is that I'd prefer it if it didn't turn into it's entire own game like bees or magical agriculture/etc. Those aren't terrible but it'd be nicer to have something streamlined like the Alchemy pack where you had to make clay.

Khanstant posted:64 is too small of a stack size anyway. 128/256/512/1024 would be better. I mean a lot of this is old vanilla design decisions coming back. There's nothing inherently wrong with the stack size in earlier vanilla because you'd get a 'haul' when out mining but still have reason to come back, but inventory sizes have absolutely been strained by the amount of items.

Finally went back and started making passive generation of resources I need in Omnifactory once I hit HV. Here's some tips: - Polymer Clay is your primary thing to start with, and there's a decent guide on the omnifactorydevs github: https://github.com/OmnifactoryDevs/OmnifactoryGuides/blob/latest/guides/PolymerClayAutomation.md - Once you get that, a good option for 'I want to make this passively, but not forever' is to setup a bank of storage drawers and then add a higher priority storage bus on there, and only have drawers available for the stuff you're making. It's a bit of overhead, but it means you'll cap out at making like 2048 coal or whatever and then kill consumption, and it's all available on your network. Just have enough general purpose ME storage that when you dump something into the system over your SD cap, it has somewhere to go, but generally it's not going to be a problem. - Pursuant to the last point: Storage downgrades are a thing and are quite useful - especially combined with compacting drawers. The limit on compacting drawers is based on the highest compacting thing, so ingots are based on the blocks, for example. So a single stack of blocks is still like 512 ingots which is enough for basic alloys. - I setup all the Mob Fabricators for this, and then went back and started adding autocrafting for blastfurnace alloys I use a lot - in theory you can make this totally passively as well, although I skipped making ender pearls passively for vibrant alloy. Next up I'm going to start trying to better automate chemicals, I just went through and changed my ENTIRE ME fluid drive setup over to individual 1k/4k (depending) drives formatted per. It's a gigantic pain in the rear end to setup, but it lets you start making stuff passively eventually. Falcon2001 fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Oct 25, 2021 |

OniPanda posted:You don't have to wait to HV to closed loop automate DML. I've done it with MV and it fully powers my current poo poo with numis. I just max upgrade my storage drawers and also void upgrade. It doesn't really matter if it's not producing useful work cause it's 100% closed loop and power positive, and dumping to storage drawers directly so it's not a big tick hit. Currently making iron, copper, diamonds (fuel and surplus), and ender pearls (polymer and surplus) with only a single polymer chain. Numismatics keep scaling up for a long time through HV, especially if you got a battery bank for spikes and automatically turn off dynamos with a power monitor or three. That held me clear into IV, then it had trouble keeping up. This play through, I was trying to get started early on solar, but the early panels just can't hack it. Yeah, sorry, I should have clarified that I automated DML a while ago. You need a bit of MV, not full HV for it.

Rocko Bonaparte posted:I have a new variation on my previous problem of sending two different things to one machine. Now I want to send two ingredients distributed to four blast furnaces. I think vibrant alloy was where it nailed me. I had a round robin setup but the energetic alloy ingots wound up across one machine and the rest of the ender pearls went across the other three. Are you talking about passive generation or on-demand? Passive wouldn't be too hard, put a single-stack storage drawer with a robotic arm on each one, but if you're talking about on-demand I think that'd be pretty difficult.

ewe2 posted:It seems to be an iterative process for everyone who plays Omnifactory that you start out semi-automating and learn the hard way that not automating as much as possible as early as possible creates problems and I'm just hitting that limit in early HV while I still haven't got a lot of ME done. I'm surprised how fast a LV clay loop is compared to an MV pulsating dust loop. part of it for me was that early on you hit more efficiency improvements pretty fast, which implies you should be leaping forward rather than automating every step. I think HV is a good time to stop and look around a bit because those drop off al ot in the MV/HV range.

Rocko Bonaparte posted:One issue I have with enthusiastic automation is not necessarily knowing where the individual quest steps are leading--especially with fluids. This tends to lead to a lot of chemical reactors doing a single step of many in a serial process; the stuff does not get used anywhere else. Well unfortunately it's hard to work with fluids and re-using reactors, so no matter what it feels like you're going to have this situation.

So my biggest takeaway is that this is disappointingly not a great intro into all the stuff in the modpack and you'll still need to do a lot of digging through the in-game manual. Like the first thing the questbook does is throw you at 'start generating this passively', which is something that takes some infrastructure to get going. For what it's worth that's not a terrible thing, but it's a little disappointing since I don't have much context on it, and coming from Omnifactory it's a bit of a 'figure it out on your own.'

I constantly feel like I don't have enough steel/darksteel, and all the big multi-block projects seem to take an absolutely comical amount of cuprenickel.

Echophonic posted:I just started up Create: Above and Beyond and I'm kind of having mixed feelings about it. I'm quite enjoying learning Create, but I can't help but feel like this is the fuckin' hard way. There's absolutely zero guidance on how a lot of builds should kinda look. I've made some absolutely atrocious things, but I love them anyway. I've managed automatic non-standard cobble gen, a flint/iron generator, and a rubber generator so far. Belts and shafts and cogs loving everywhere. C:A+B is much more difficult than normal Create. A couple notes that'll help you out: - A Millstone is a good thing to shoot for early - if you get a melting thing (Forget if it's the foundry or smelter, but there's an early game one pretty quick with Seared Bricks that's only a two-block thing) you can get up to 1 ingot per ore pretty fast by milling ore down, then melting the dust. (3x dust per crushed ore, 3x nuggets per dust) - Windmills are loving great and should be your main power source. - You don't have to fully automate everything, but you should set up stuff that you can automate later. For example, the tree cutting setup with the mechanical piston and saws is great but definitely overkill to fully automate early, just pop by every once in a while and turn it on, cut trees, turn it off, plant trees, repeat.

Spectral Werewolf posted:One last tip is that waterwheels can be set up on their side (I think this was not in Create 0.1) and rotate a bit faster than windmills so they are more optimal than windmills earlier in the game for all the low stress farms you need to make in the beginning. Windmills are more of a midrange stress capacity. Unless you like the idea of everything being powered by one central source or just like windmills because they are very cool. Oh ho ho, that's pretty cool. The biggest problem for me with any of the rotational stuff is that you don't get the ability to output items from them with the portable interfaces until the Brass age (without turning them off, I suppose), so I've got a manual piston-based setup for now.

The nice thing about Omnifactory is that they disabled Channels, which is really where AE2 gets complicated. Without it it's basically like Bhodi describes; big box, stuff goes in or out. Some of the other options are way more finicky but I don't know how much of that you need to do. One tip btw: if you slap a storage bus (Ae2) on a storage drawer controller (storage drawers) then pipe inputs into the storage drawer controller, you get limiting, which is nice. It's a very easy way to say 'I want 1 stack of each of these things' and you can moderate the capacity by drawers. You can even add void upgrades to things you want to make and overflow (for example: anything that has multiple outputs at the same time). Doing this in storage drawers is easy, doing it in AE2 like "keep x of this thing in my storage network" is considerably more complicated.

I think Omnifactory is like 125% of my limit for weird bullshit. I don't hate it or anything, but I got into the tier past HV and went 'oh okay...oh gently caress.' and kind of gave up.

I think the thing I don't like about Nomifactory/etc is the mining part, hilariously enough. Like the constant 'aw gently caress I can't do the fun part because I have to go do the unfun part' is irritating. I might retry and just...start cheating in resources/etc. Basically I'd prefer it played like an incremental game instead of...well frankly, Minecraft. The one modpack where you started with various infinite resource generators and had to get your way up to Clay was one of my favorites for that reason - no mining, just building and logistics.

Speaking of Nomifactory, is there a good option for a tank with a 'void' upgrade (so like, will store X buckets and will continue to accept more but just delete any additional)? The biggest problem I had with fluids was overflow from processes, and my way of handling it on my last save was...subpar, to say the least. Any suggestions?

At least early game I went in and hit some massive cheats to make things less awful. Namely; gave myself darmstadium tools and some creative drawers with various ores, and hey, suddenly I don't find the game to be nearly as much of a chore. (YMMV of course, but if anyone is just dreading Nomifactory stuff, just remember cheating in single player is a choice you make, there's no leaderboards.)
