Been playing hex a lot and enjoying it, it seems all the content on here and the Reddit is all the basic 4 segment

Because a lot of people are going to play the game, beat it, and call it a day

#

Also because every blueprint that handles a single building (1x1 painter, 1x2 stacker, etc etc) works exactly the same in hex and quad

Thanks, just made my hex MAM and was searching for some more efficient designs than mine 😅

#

The only real difference I can think of offhand would be making bowties {Ru--Ru--} vs making trefoils {Hu--Hu--Hu--+hex}

You can make bowties/checkerboards on a 1x2 with swappers, but not their hex equivalent

#

oh man that looks a lot cleaner than mine lol

#

i made mine all with 12 belts at every step though

#

this is what one layer looks like

#

vs the whole thing

#

how are you making full shapes from the pieces in your image?

stiff wharf Sep 17, 2024, 9:24 PM

#

Mines only got a 4 lane output, so definitely not as effective

#

The pictures is one hex 😅

#

So for each layer there is 6 of these

#

ohhhhhh

stiff wharf Sep 17, 2024, 9:25 PM

#

And then 4 lanes total

peak osprey Sep 17, 2024, 9:25 PM

#

that makes a lot of sense

stiff wharf Sep 17, 2024, 9:25 PM

#

Sorry

peak osprey Sep 17, 2024, 9:26 PM

#

all good!

Thanks for sharing

you should consider mixing all your paints on site since you don't need full input of any of the base color if the corner uses mixes

#

I have these taking in an RGB input and making all the mixes at once with a selector filtering whatever is needed for the piece

stiff wharf Sep 17, 2024, 9:31 PM

#

I tried something like this, not as neat. But was having trouble with the throughout of the mixers. Might have another go, cus this looks pretty good!

peak osprey Sep 17, 2024, 9:33 PM

#

:D

#

i think i ran into some issues with the valves being a bit weird about their rates plus needing more paint mixers than i had thought so it's definitely not without its challenges

#

peak osprey I have these taking in an RGB input and making all the mixes at once with a sele...

(these are all double stacked so there's 8 mixers per color)

stiff wharf Sep 17, 2024, 9:55 PM

#

Ah that's why you have 4 valves per colour...
Makes sense, need to try this now 😂

After finishing normal mode, should I now play hex or hard mode?

stiff wharf Sep 17, 2024, 10:14 PM

#

Can't say, only had the game a week, Imma finish hex, then do hard I think

Tips, you might as well go to insane mode and just skip hard mode. If you have already done normal mode and hex mode, you should know what you are doing by now. I can't even wrap my brain around a MAM, and you built one, so you're better at this game than I am. That's OK. I just hit the top 0.017% on normal mode and operator level 274. It sounds like it's time to start a new game.
