I am too dumb to mine iron. How does it work? I get only like 1 or 2 ore per month, most of it is dirt and rock instead.

What do the red bars even mean?

Do I need to dig up or down or what?

Thanks, this helps. Situation was getting a bit bad without iron & construction materials. Next I need to figure out how to get more diesel, and how to do crop rotation.. and level some ground for more farms maybe. So much stuff in this game!

How do you feed 3 mats to an assembler? Some kind of balancer/sorter setup?

E: or just a 3 level belt setup?

How does a bus work, when 1 belt can provide items only for two buildings?

Does it work to put light and heavy oil to same pipe and burn them in the same gas burner? Or do I need separate types of burners and pipes for different oils?

It's honestly easier, and safer, just to use two burners.

Or better yet: two gas boilers if you have them unlocked. Put that excess to use as you burn it off. Likewise: cargo ships can take heavy oil as fuel. Produces a massive pile of pollution but, as said, it's putting something you'd be burning off to use if you don't have the more advanced oil techs.

Problem is that the gas burner produces twice the amount of steam compared to a coal version. I'd want to produce some extra electricity instead of flaring the excess. Two gas burners which barely run at all do not sound very efficient.

I tried this, and it seems to work reasonably well. The fuels mix in the junction just before the boiler.

I still need to somehow increase my fuel usage. Perhaps I should burn excess diesel to electricity..

For now it seems to be enough to burn excess diesel off in diesel generators. I am fiddling with this because steel and iron production use so much coal I don't want to burn it for energy.

Anyways, found out you can do uncapped FPS in game, but have adaptive (half refresh rate) vsync in nvidia control panel. That way game renders at 60fps on my 120hz screen, doesn't have tearing. 120hz is excess to render at 4K for a game like this.#

E:

Can vehicle barriers be drawn in a line?

Is there some way to not deselect current build item after placing one?

Does overproduction of steam go to waste? If I add a boiler next to paper mill, and process requires 1,5 steam, while boiler produces 48. Does the 46,5 steam go to waste each minute?

Cool. It’s easier to have an onsite boiler than to bus it from god knows where.
