Numbers Wrong?

[brave lantern]

I read something in another post about numbers being wrong for fluid related stuff. Is it the space pipes? I'm on version 0.0.7

[flint dust]

space pipes are 10800x12 at max upgrades

[vital charm]

OMG, so it takes 288 fluid pumps to fill all 12 lanes of a space pipe?!?!

[quick galleon]

In the 0.0.8 version, it is 450l/m. I think this number is crazy. I hope it can be changed to 7200l/m.

[flint dust]

no idea about fluid pumps, but it does take 18 fluid miners with full extensions

framing things in terms of fluid pumps is unhelpful, its like talking about shapes in terms of extractors instead of belts

[flint dust]

already rebalanced, which i assume means upped to 1800

[brave lantern]

Ty

[quick galleon]

1800 is already very good, but with 12 pipes you need 48. It would be better if it was changed to 7200. But this is also what the author thinks, I am just giving an opinion

[brave lantern]

18? Now i'm confused lol
"4 painters are needed to fully paint 1 belt
And those 4 painters need 1 fluid launcher of paint to fully work
So a space pipe with 4 fluid launchers per floor (over 3 floors, for 12 fluid launchers total) can fill 48 painters, which equals painting 12 belts of shapes"

[flint dust]

1 pipe = 4 launchers = 1 fluid extrator with extensions

1 space pipe = 12 lanes = 6 launchers per lane = 18 fluid extractors

[brave lantern]

But right now I'm painting 4 belts of shapes, with one space pipe and 1 fluid miner with 3 extensions and 4 fluid launchers
Another 2 fluid miners with 3 extensions and 4 fluid launchers each equals another 8 belts of shapes, on top of the 4 belts I'm painting now, for 12 painted belts total
:

[flint dust]

you can paint 4 belts of shapes with 1 fluid extractor

because 4 belts needs 4 launchers
and 4 launchers is 1 extractor

thats not "1 space belt" though, thats only 1/6 of a space belt

[brave lantern]

I know but if I add another two fluid miners then I'll have 12 belts right?
Were you talking about something else, as in a space pipe is capable of moving enough fluids to paint more than just 12 belts?

[flint dust]

correct, 1 space pipe can carry enough to paint 72 belts

[brave lantern]

Damn that's heaps xD

[flint dust]

yeah its basically "more than you need"

[brave lantern]

Just thinking about how I'd set that up making me go crosseyed lol

[brave lantern]

I appreciate all your help since I joined btw.

[tight thorn]

no, since one launcher = 4 fluid pump
and one pipe = 4 launchers

it's better to think in term of launchers

since what will limit your output is the launchers

@brave lantern in case it wasn't clear ↑

[flint dust]

Wat

No

1 launcher is 4 fluid pumps

72x4 is 288, like they said

[tight thorn]

ah yes oops for the fluid pump

but still

you need the same amount of pumps for 12 launchers

that the amount you need of miners for 12 launchers

it's 4 miner/pump for one launcher

so 48 miners/pumps for 12 launchers

[tight thorn]

Right ?

[flint dust]

Probably correct but the only way I think about it is "1 extractor is 4 launchers"

With extensions ofc

Belt-belt and belt-fluid 1x1 crossover platforms help a lot
