yes but less then 12

boreal oyster
#

true

sturdy mist
#

I like that it's encouraging people to play in an already valid space more

feral maple
#

alr hand crafting is done i can go build

sturdy mist
#

Like 98% of people pick a beacon count and then spend their time justifying it lol

boreal oyster
feral maple
#

AKSULY 12 BEACON IS BEST

boreal oyster
#

its sad

sturdy mist
feral maple
#

YO whats the new pause keybind

sturdy mist
feral maple
#

...

feral maple
#

little spoiler but isnt this good af?

#

basically free?

sturdy mist
#
       The same logic now also applies to fluid storage tanks reading their contents and pumpjacks reading their expected resource yield.``` wow this "bug" is ancient
feral maple
boreal oyster
#

huh

sturdy mist
#

Yeah a few years ago I did some fuckery with partial fills on fluids and it was wonky AF because of that

boreal oyster
#

i like this game cuz this works and is funny

#

is it good?

#

no

#

it doesnt work

feral maple
#

no

#

nuke it

boreal oyster
#

not regretting desert world yet

feral maple
#

i had 0 attacks

#

πŸ˜„

boreal oyster
#

and my power is out lol

feral maple
boreal oyster
#

mine is less

sturdy mist
#

If you guys are doing spage I might have to dip

boreal oyster
#

im doing 2.0

#

too broke for spage

sturdy mist
#

lol

#

Hmm I guess I'll do biterless. I'm too focused on signalless, going to set up the vanilla railbase again with the improvements

boreal oyster
#

πŸ”₯

#

biterless is based

#

i just like the challenge fr (default settings except more ore for me)

sturdy mist
#

Once I did a 200% deathworld I finally understood the point of the bitters

boreal oyster
#

lmao

#

not even 600? damnnn

sturdy mist
#

I did a 600-600% and didn't even fight a biter

#

600% starting area is basically "Can you go down the efficient route?"

boreal oyster
#

what

#

ok dayum i dont know the game much lol

sturdy mist
#

Yeah 600% starting area is too much, you can launch without triggering pollution attacks lol

boreal oyster
#

almost there

#

45 mins and all i gotta do is research 2 techs and make engines

sturdy mist
#

Noice

#

But yeah biters should be a real threat to your existence, to the point you care about your pollution output

boreal oyster
#

if im doing wagonlocked everything gotta do this achievement while i do it πŸ’―

sturdy mist
#

If they aren't a threat that makes you consider pollution, they're too low

boreal oyster
boreal oyster
sturdy mist
#

Default settings are for new players πŸ˜‰

boreal oyster
#

shi

feral maple
#

i have default

#

xd

#

rn

boreal oyster
#

am i a new player? engithink

sturdy mist
#

Eh, it might be different in spage, but I doubt it. They're not giving you trouble, so no

boreal oyster
#

in 2.0 nothing changed abt biters tbh

feral maple
#

i dont have enough prod yet for pollution to spread xd

boreal oyster
#

except the achievment "pest control" fr

sturdy mist
#

Default biters can give new players trouble. But if you want to actually deal with biters and have them add something to the game, they have to be a serious opponent rather than a nuisance

#

If you don't have a real chance of losing they aren't helping

boreal oyster
#

just looks dif

#

this might take a while

#

100 minutes actually

#

damn i need more labs

sturdy mist
#

duh lol

feral maple
#

nice

boreal oyster
#

makes it 50 mins

feral maple
#

holy shit

boreal oyster
#

wtf

boreal oyster
sturdy mist
#

did you ban belts

boreal oyster
#

kinda

#

im trynna get to trains before doing anything with belts

sturdy mist
#

shrugs

boreal oyster
#

yeah

feral maple
#

finally found it

#

new dead spawner textures

#

worms also

#

they seem to rot over time

boreal oyster
#

might wanna automate automation tbh

feral maple
#

xd

boreal oyster
feral maple
#

bro i cant wait to cook 1 assembler mall that makes everything

boreal oyster
#

wagonlocked (but makes anything in the world) hmmmm sounds fun

feral maple
boreal oyster
#

YO THIS IS FREE WHAT

#

lsgo i can mine buildings faster

feral maple
#

im missing that hover over ghosts build mod

#

😦

sturdy mist
#

should I tweak size, too? I bumped richness from 100 to 150, frequency from 33 to 25

boreal oyster
#

huh ez way to get spm now

sturdy mist
#

lol nice

#

official screen now

feral maple
#

cant wait to see 1M there

boreal oyster
sturdy mist
#

Size, yea or nay?

boreal oyster
feral maple
#

id max it

#

even richness

boreal oyster
#

you couldnt even do 100k smhh

feral maple
#

i did i just didnt build 400 mining stations

#

xd

sturdy mist
#

100k at 3 ups impresses almost nobody, but yeah

boreal oyster
#

400

sturdy mist
#

It's like playing chess and only caring about queening your pawns. Yep you have 9 queens, but you're checkmated.

#

3 ups is "You didn't even play the game" lol

#

Anyone can copy paste a 1k SPM a hundred times. that's not the game

feral maple
#

it impresses the noobs

#

to see big number

#

that was my intention xd

boreal oyster
#

W miner

sturdy mist
#

lmfao and it makes experienced players laugh

boreal oyster
#

only half an our to get 300 science packs of red and green + train research

#

uhoh

feral maple
#

thast 10SPM

sturdy mist
#

idk what's funnier, that you thought it would work, or that you thought it could get built in time

feral maple
#

this shit is crazy tho

#

u can just put only speed mods after u have it maxed

sturdy mist
#

Or quality.

feral maple
#

ye

sturdy mist
#

There are some major curves to solve for

feral maple
#

curves ChibiSmug

sturdy mist
#

Dang, nice start other than desert

feral maple
#

how does engineer make oxidiser from iron ore

sturdy mist
#

No bugs, fuckit

boreal oyster
#

where is copper πŸ€”

#

ayo wtf

sturdy mist
#

That's what I'm sayin

feral maple
#

there is the ore view

#

idk how tho yet

boreal oyster
#

just did some basic maths

#

im cooked

#

1/5*3 is 3/5 spm for red

#

i have less than 1 spm for red kek

feral maple
#

xd

sturdy mist
#

lmao p sick deposit

boreal oyster
feral maple
#

crazy icon

#

they cooked

#

starting price is 1200

#

not bad

boreal oyster
#

atleast it aint 100 more lol

feral maple

πŸ‘

sturdy mist
#

lol yeah, we know you have spage. I'm not impressed by that.

boreal oyster
#

i should probably make a pseudo mall

feral maple
#

i handcrafted a whole base

#

now u too

boreal oyster
#

try reach like 15 spm

feral maple
#

gl

boreal oyster
#

this is cursed

feral maple
#

wtf are u cooking

boreal oyster
feral maple
#

i miss bots

boreal oyster

almost there

#

waiting on engines

feral maple

:p

boreal oyster

game ez

feral maple

πŸ˜„

boreal oyster
#

@sturdy mist i can start wagonlocked now

#

i got the achievement

feral maple
#

now im going automating green science bruh

sturdy mist
boreal oyster
boreal oyster
#

it looks so cursed

feral maple
#

2 hours

boreal oyster
#

direct insert spaghetti

boreal oyster
sturdy mist
#

I'm prolly spending too much time paused and thinking tbh. It's the same thing as always

boreal oyster
#

(im part of the machine)

feral maple
sturdy mist
boreal oyster
feral maple
sturdy mist
#

25 mins, I'm about to move into green sci

boreal oyster
#

also i have everything i need to make wagonlocked base

sturdy mist
boreal oyster
#

just gonna automate some stuff

feral maple
boreal oyster
#

that was actually pretty fun of a challenge

#

90 mins to get locomotive

sturdy mist
boreal oyster
#

helps that i wasnt rlly waiting on anything at any point and was just rushing a build

feral maple
sturdy mist
#

Okay, build it for blue science. Building that before red science means you're that much farther from red at the start

#

It's a build order thing. Place a couple, research red, then place a couple more and do green.

boreal oyster
#

The real question is if i should break down the whole science setup or not πŸ€”

feral maple
sturdy mist
#

Yeah that's a part of minmaxing that'd do you a lot of good. It's like half the game you're ignoring by not playing min side lol

boreal oyster
#

LMAO I GOT 32 spm 😭

feral maple
#

also im doing 60SPM

sturdy mist
#

60 to start is too much

boreal oyster
#

yeah imma just let it be while i do techs and automate a psuedo mall

feral maple
sturdy mist
#

Yeah that's the thing is that you have to build the next science. So the comparison to look at is how long it takes you to research all of those techs, versus how long it takes you to build the next tech

#

If you finish researching red before you finish building green, you had too much red sci.

boreal oyster
#

im gonna need so much steel ffs

feral maple
boreal oyster
#

jinx'd it shoob

feral maple
boreal oyster
#

ayo what

feral maple
#

very nice

sturdy mist
#

lol I saw that in the patch notes, along with the pollution changes

feral maple
#

what pollution changes

boreal oyster
#

yooo thats sick

#

you can make even more customizable defences

sturdy mist
#

Pollution got nerfed in many ways

#

So that you're getting attacked by biters makes me laugh even harder

boreal oyster
#

i seem pretty stinky

sturdy mist
#

Shit I forgot to turn pollution off

feral maple
boreal oyster
#

lol

feral maple
#

also first time i play with cliffs on to test the new ones

boreal oyster
#

thats sick

feral maple
#

yes

#

even machines

boreal oyster
#

just realized

#

who needs this when you have

feral maple
#

how op are worms tho

#

ah i have no armor

boreal oyster
#

IT WORKS

#

HOLY SHIT I LOVE THIS GAME

#

they didnt patch cargo wagon spam

sturdy mist
#

Jouster and I worked out some super compact stuff but there was a problem with fully DI from single chest on RG

#

You have to make some choices

boreal oyster
#

im not going to use this tech fully

#

why am i still trying to do full DI

#

i have belts

#

eh fuck it

#

1 cargo wagon for 2 mall assemblers

feral maple
#

I MAY HAVE FCKED UP

boreal oyster
#

whats wrong

sturdy mist
#

Biters got your number?

feral maple
#

i forgor to enabled expansion i think

sturdy mist
#

Ah damn lol

boreal oyster
#

gg

#

you have to enable it?

feral maple
#

when you select railworld then yets

boreal oyster
#

oh lol

feral maple
#

😦

#

whatevr iguess

boreal oyster
#

this is cursed

boreal oyster
sturdy mist
#

lol where did flip go?

boreal oyster

rebinded as H

feral maple

bruh

boreal oyster

just to be safe fr

feral maple
boreal oyster
#

Y i think

#

or V

#

its in settings

feral maple
boreal oyster
#

just do ctrl f

feral maple
#

bruh my push to talk key

#

xd

#

F

boreal oyster
#

change it πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

feral maple
#

yes

boreal oyster
#

IT WORKS I THINK

#

yeah its working

#

got belts being made

#

and inserters

feral maple
#

take this guys cooking cap

boreal oyster
#

never said im a chef

sturdy mist
#

50 mins

#

pretty slow tbh

#

I shouldn't have done green sci at the same time

#

Penalty wasn't super bad tho b/c it's still very small

boreal oyster
# sturdy mist 50 mins

that reminds me i can just add red sci and green sci to the β€œwagon mall” and have the ability to remove all the prev science

#

need stack size upgrades tho

sturdy mist
#

okay I'm going to sushi science

#

I don't think I'm going to sushDI blue this time but I'll DI the blue build itself, I think.

boreal oyster
#

too many splitters? shoob

sturdy mist
#

Yeah I'm not fucking around with that many splitters this early

#

It's 30 spm, this doesn't matter. I'm doing 1/4th

boreal oyster
#

this doesnt seem right

#

not rlly faithful to wagonlocked

sturdy mist
#

shrugs tools are tools, they don't have to be used for every situation.

boreal oyster
#

yeah true

#

i just wanna stick to wagonlocked as a challenge

sturdy mist
#

Fair, yeah it's an interesting constraint space

boreal oyster
#

ight just cleared up the mines time to palce electric miners and do drill into train fr

sturdy mist
#

lmfao

boreal oyster
#

yeah 😭

#

wagonlocked πŸ”₯

sturdy mist
#

Gonna have an interesting blue build

boreal oyster
#

i mean i could also do "belt into train"

sturdy mist
#

Oh wait shit this doesn't work as is

boreal oyster
#

in the sense that each wagon has a line of drills

sturdy mist
#

Hmm

boreal oyster
boreal oyster
sturdy mist
#

I'm trying to save literally two machines here

#

About to say fuck that

boreal oyster
#

fluid handeling research gives you barrel

#

and i have t2 assembler

#

hmmm

sturdy mist
#

lol sick, I do like how they changes some of the progression

#

omg I mean, I can't recommend actually doing it, but that's one of the few use cases

#

Instead of piping, fluids just always get an extra asm lol

boreal oyster
#

perfect

boreal oyster
#

i misclicked and made this

#

new rail angles lsgo

#

im planning on doing 1-2 trains

#

this game is sick

#

there is a drive remotely button? oh shi

#

@sturdy mist do you mind if i post stuff youve yet to see cuz im ahead

sturdy mist
#

Oh shit drive remotely

#

Honestly I can only complain about spoilers for so long lol, if it gets bad I'll just shut discord down

#

I haven't been in main chat all day

boreal oyster
#

ah ight

boreal oyster
#

i only popped in twice wasnt spoiled anything tho

boreal oyster
#

i can hold off on posting abt new 2.0 stuff

sturdy mist
#

dw about it too much I guess, I'm a big kid, if I feel like it's too much I'll dip

boreal oyster
#

alr alr

boreal oyster
#

i didnt realize how much mats i need for a train system so now i placed my drills and furnaces back lol

#

this gon be a bit cursed fr

#

i think ill do 2 rail lines instead of just one cuz idk how to stop deadlock <-this exact emoji with 2 way rails

#

have to go sleep

#

goodnight

#

@sturdy mist have fun with your world

sturdy mist
#

cyaaa

boreal oyster
#

also i think i can use the ore trains as plate trains which would be cursed since you need 2 ore trains for 1 plate train

#

legal tho

feral maple
#

it still going up holy

feral maple
#

we can make hexagons

#

GN

sturdy mist
#

Hexas are pretty memeworthy

#

lmao I peeped the train channel and it's already completely... off the rails 😎

sturdy mist
#

Dang nice, I almost finished building blue just when I got it researched

sturdy mist
#

lol 30 spm is a lot, I square

boreal oyster
#

loading in

#

lsgo

boreal oyster
#

so much orange skittles

#
  • blue ones ofc
sturdy mist
#

lol incoming!

boreal oyster
#

yeah engineer incoming

boreal oyster
#

yeah i might wanna change my topology shoob

sturdy mist
#

lol you're direct to training already?

boreal oyster
boreal oyster
#

im thinking of maybe static 2 limits

sturdy mist
#

If you have chests then static 1 is so much. If not then static 2 is enough even at like 5km

boreal oyster
#

fuck chests πŸ’―

sturdy mist
# boreal oyster wym

The new feature that allows you to basically vanilla LTN, use empty ore trains to pick up plates

sturdy mist
#

Not sure if it's spage or 2.0 tbh

#

I think I don't have options

boreal oyster
#

interupts are 2.0 from what ik

#

well i can legit see interupts rn

#

(idk wym by basically vanilla ltn)

sturdy mist
sturdy mist
boreal oyster
boreal oyster
sturdy mist
#

Basically it tries to use trains more efficiently. Instead of empty trains having to head back their full distance, they can scoop something else.

boreal oyster
#

ah ight

#

yeah idk how interupts would make that happen

#

other than

sturdy mist
#

Like, 4 ore trains show up, 2 ore trains return, 2 of them leave forward with plates instead.

#

It doesn't actually save traffic. You'll pay back that loop eventually.

boreal oyster
#

"if empty go to any plates" and everything is max train amounts

sturdy mist
#

Effectively, empty trains just find the closest provider with an open limit

boreal oyster
#

πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

sturdy mist
#

It really doesn't matter, you're going to pay the piper on both loops some day

boreal oyster
boreal oyster
#

what is "mining speed" like 1 ore per 0.5s?

sturdy mist
#

It's the same work formula I think

boreal oyster
#

alr alr

#

so i basically only have enough for 1 furnace per wagon lol

#

2*

sturdy mist
#

lmao sounds about right tbh

boreal oyster
#

or one

sturdy mist
#

That's legal I guess

#

If it weren't for prod, and efurnaces being 3x3

boreal oyster
#

cuz id also have mining prod

sturdy mist
#

Honestly at this point, if you're going out to belt, that's cool, but you could very well just out back to train

#

"oh no it's only half full!" so what lol

boreal oyster
#

ah true

#

who cares if its half full πŸ’―

sturdy mist
#

Yeah at this point, that's not a big deal

boreal oyster
#

so compact πŸ’―

#

i love the curve rail spam lmao

sturdy mist
#

I mean back into the ore train

#

Remove the belts and the third stop

boreal oyster
#

yeah

#

gimme a sec

#

this scheduling is gon be cursed ( i havent setup the plate requesting stuff)

sturdy mist
#

lol ayyy

boreal oyster
# sturdy mist lol ayyy

the one cursed thing is im not using chests so i cant do "1 train supplies everything" so i need like a train per furnace on the line TM

#

so imma just say fuck it and do furnace arrays for half a belt

sturdy mist
#

Yeah it's not a nontrivial problem to solve

boreal oyster
#

making it so i need multiple ore trains for 1 plate train

sturdy mist
#

I've told you the solution before but you forgot b/c you didn't understand it πŸ˜›

#

Fully static limit, no buffer chests. But the way I've tried to explain it to you I don't think clicked b/c it doesn't seem related until you get it

boreal oyster
#

yeah fuck drills into trains imma just add belts then inserters 😭

#

adds a swing tax but like its 2.0 and early game

feral maple
#

now u can have ore trains that do all ores

boreal oyster
#

πŸ”₯ totally

#

i might need to filter these cuz i got deadlocked cuz of em

#

ayy coal time

boreal oyster
#

ayy lsgo @sturdy mist first coal train

#

will be 11/s or plates per side (still needa change it into red belts)

sturdy mist
#

1-spaced two way, to bidi

boreal oyster
#

OH YEAH

#

shifting the alignment of a rail can be smaller now

#

L is new R is old i think

#

holy shit

sturdy mist
#

Not really, you can't replicate old jogs

boreal oyster
#

ICHY

#

I FOUND SMTH COOl

sturdy mist
#

o?

boreal oyster
#

do ctrl F while in map

#

you can find where you crafting science

#

like instantly

sturdy mist
#

nb

boreal oyster
#

also tells you about ore veins

#

like thats cool asf

sturdy mist
#

fsho

boreal oyster
sturdy mist
#

That'll probably save me a significant amount of time if I get to 30km again

boreal oyster
#

should i load my old world and see how broken it is? lol

sturdy mist
#

Part of me wants to break things up into proper subfactories

#

lol shouldn't be totally borked

boreal oyster
#

20k of them probs just ctrl alt del'd

boreal oyster
#

lets see

#

oh shit

#

old rails still work damn

#

roboports have radars now dayum

#

anyways imma leave that world now

#

too many spoilers fr

sturdy mist
#

Hmm, new rails don't help the trivial intersections much

#

Changes literally nothing for me

#

Elevateds wouldn't actually change much either for me, I could save a little bit of track but I can avoid crossings altogether anyhow so like, meh.

#

Kinda made the trainyard concept worse, dang.

#

Idk maybe bidi stackers are better

boreal oyster
#

i assumed stackers are inherently one directional lol

boreal oyster
#

huh if you change the name of a station while its being taken by a train the train doesnt leave the station

sturdy mist
#

Yup, only once it leaves

#

They'll stick around at wrong name stations

boreal oyster
#

glad i caught that

#

trains sound so dif now dayum

uncut yew
#

man I can't believe I gotta wait another month to play

#

gonna be the longest month of my life fr

boreal oyster
#

ayyy copper and iron done now to upgrade to red belt after making new mall TM

uncut yew
#

Gotta focus on my driving theory

#

Promised the Mrs I wouldn't buy it

uncut yew
#

I've fucked off my promise πŸ™‚

feral maple
#

ah

#

progress day2 tomorrow is the big bot revolution

#

played like 30 minutes

#

xd

boreal oyster
#

nice

#

😭

#

overbuilt fr

#

so far i havent been run over by trains so im GAMING

boreal oyster
boreal oyster
boreal oyster

yeah i might need a steel, furnace array

#

a steel train would be cool but also rlly dumb

uncut yew

fuck my promise

the factory must grow

time to automate some mall stuff and get oil cooking

#

plus imma get this and nades to cook some biters

uncut yew
uncut yew
# feral maple

Also the crafting time for most of this is so far above 30 minutes xD how are you here at 30 minutes

feral maple
#

i did 30 min today not total

sturdy mist
#

lol dude

#

Though tbh with the double ended you don't even need the 2nd track

boreal oyster
#

i can just loop it into itself and go "i hope this doesnt deadlock" shoob

boreal oyster
sturdy mist
#

lmfao what are you talking about, just remove the whole thing

#

Oh okay

sturdy mist
#

You only need 1 track for bidi trains, but you can still do mixes of w/e. Single head bidi track

#

Idk how you're getting back out of the station without bidi

#

Or the green track

boreal oyster
#

fuck it single loco trains it is lol

boreal oyster
sturdy mist
#

I've yet to find a better topology

boreal oyster
#

time to change the system (breaking this rail effectively turned off all the trains)

sturdy mist
#

lol nice

boreal oyster
#

some of the stuff isnt aligned

sturdy mist
#

F

boreal oyster
sturdy mist
#

how did you manage to get it that wrong

boreal oyster
#

it isnt wrong per say its just diferent shoob

feral maple
#

total is like 3 hours almost

boreal oyster
#

updated base

sturdy mist
#

Are those all inputs?

boreal oyster
#

what

sturdy mist
#

Oh wow it's super mixed lol

boreal oyster
#

😭

#

yeah a bit mixed

sturdy mist
#

You can mix no problem

#

But if you want your loops flat you gotta do some funk

boreal oyster
#

true gotta be funky to have flat loops

boreal oyster
#

huh yeah maybe might wanna do that

#

id have to restructure a bit ig

sturdy mist
#

lol see, I was pretty sure you didn't understand the topology thing i was going on about the other day

boreal oyster
#

atleast i dont have to remove the actual furnace arrays

sturdy mist
#

You can set things up however, the topology itself is just a minimum expression of rails

boreal oyster
#

mm ight

boreal oyster
#

"does your line TM bend" 😭

sturdy mist
#

If input and output stations are headed in the same direction you have added a twist to your loops.

boreal oyster
boreal oyster
sturdy mist
#

That's why I linked you that video lol

#

That's what it looks like in practice

boreal oyster
#

i cant draw on my pic but like the train selected goes right down then up and to the right

#

a loop in a loop so its path overalps with itself

boreal oyster
sturdy mist
#

You're using the left topology, flipping one set of stations allows you to use the right topology. Draw the loop out and see how much worse it is on the left

#

Also this is why I express it as a topology problem, it's equivalent so you can figure stuff out with it that applies.

boreal oyster
#

thats one factor with my attempt at 1kspm that would have been present in higher SPMS

#

but since i was doing 333 spm per wagon essentially i didnt face that issue

sturdy mist
sturdy mist
#

The braindead rules are super cake:

  1. Pick a direction of materials flow. One line is only empty trains, the other line is only full trains
  2. Match direction for stations. Input stations all head in one direction, output stations all head in the other, towards their proper tracks.
  3. Connect track and signal.
  4. Profit
boreal oyster
#

this train has to go from top to bottom just to get back to where it is

#

yeah i see the problem πŸ’―

#

one issue 😭

#

ig ill swap provider stations instead of requester ones

#

nvm still same issue

sturdy mist
#

Just move the curves? lol catching it now is better than catching it later

boreal oyster
boreal oyster
#

congrats

#

what in the fuck

#

it looks half borken

sturdy mist
#

Yeah the red science line isn't hooked up yet but that's 10k red sci with no loops touching lol

boreal oyster
sturdy mist
#

For sure

#

Signalless is basically trivial that way

boreal oyster
#

pff shoulda done it that way then

#

subfactory πŸ”₯

sturdy mist
#

Okay but it was here that I realized "wait, why not share"

boreal oyster
#

cuz signalles engithink

sturdy mist
#

What's 3 tracks here actually doing for me

boreal oyster
#

yeah true

#

upfront cost VS upgrading cost i think

sturdy mist
#

Yeah it's an abuse of trains too lol

boreal oyster
#

wym 😭

#

i aint see no "train wacker 9000"

boreal oyster
#

or ym the abuse of train mechanics

sturdy mist
#

Using trains to haul stuff belt distance

boreal oyster
#

oh lmao

sturdy mist
#

Full trains on bottom, inputs up. Empty trains on top, outputs down.

#

The ore trains don't compete with their plate trains.

boreal oyster
#

yeah gimme a sec ill have a video version of that

sturdy mist
#

I haven't done it yet but I'm sure you could alternate that

#

up/down/up/down/up/down

#

There's at least one or two weirds that would need to be handled

#

Hey make sure to leave yourself stacker space too @boreal oyster lol

boreal oyster
#

im not gonna put stackers on this thing

#

imma put it on the next stations 😭

#

too much effort to add stackers atp

sturdy mist
#

No stackers and no chests?

#

All you need is one inline stacker. It's literally just extra track

boreal oyster
#

i mean stackers would be nice but then i need like +200 million trains lol

#

and i have steel issues atm

boreal oyster
#

also i havent rlly planned ahead cuz then i need more space

sturdy mist
#

Yeah it's not much

#

You have short trains. You just need to be able to hold a train in that track

#

You probably have the space already

boreal oyster
#

dude i broke the game wtf

sturdy mist
#

Can a train fit there? Cause that looks like in-line stack to me

boreal oyster
#

look at the share screen rq

#

BRUH IT FIXED ITSELF

#

the train was spamming like "forwards" and stop

#

then it just fixes itself when it reaches the signal

sturdy mist
#

lmao i was gonna say, that's expected behavior

#

You put it into a red block

#

By removing the signal

boreal oyster
#

its weird

#

it was in the middle of 2 chain signals and spazed out

sturdy mist
#

If you can catch something actually weird on vid, it might be a bug. What you're doing is already edge case

boreal oyster
#

yeah i could load a test world to try replicate it

#

isnt a game breaking bug tho

sturdy mist
#

Or stop removing signals on red blocks? Are you asking for a crash? Lol

boreal oyster
#

at crashes* not trains

sturdy mist
#

lmfaooo

boreal oyster
#

okay i think its better now

sturdy mist
#

Nice, shared flat loops!

boreal oyster
#

and a stacker

#

time to change more signal stuff WOOO

boreal oyster
#

might wanna fix it

sturdy mist
#

lol hey, you're the one who chose an odd train length

#

That doesn't happen with even train lengths

boreal oyster
#

ah so 1:3 trains are clearly better

sturdy mist
#

Nah, the flip thing is a non-thing

#

It's aesthetic only

boreal oyster
#

fixed it

sturdy mist
#

You've got a range you can hit to begin with, and adjusting like you did is also nbd

#

That station could be 2 forward or 2 back and it wouldn't cause massive issues.

boreal oyster
#

now it has stackers

#

that are doing nothing πŸ”₯

sturdy mist
#

lol one day

boreal oyster
#

nvm they are doing smth and also i might have fucked over my system cuz i flipped the train stations 😭

#

i just saw a train take the longest route ever πŸ’―

#

yeah okay i messed up a lil

sturdy mist
#

lmao so your outputs are on the right track, headed down, correct?

#

Inputs left, empties up?

#

If you get the directionality wrong it's very bad for the trains.

#

If a full train needs to head up instead of down, it has a long detour. That should be avoided

#

that's a bandaid though

uncut yew
sturdy mist
#

They still do the extra dumbloop

uncut yew
#

as soon as I unlock trains/ rail etc I'm going to need to setup a tileable blueprint

sturdy mist
#

lol I've been delaying my decisions on trains, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the build

uncut yew
#

I'm probably just going to keep it simple and scalable like I usually do

#

I love the idea of big trains

#

but lots of little trains just does it for me

sturdy mist
#

Hehe, I did a bunch of work on some abstractions that are allowing no-signals so I think I should continue in that vein

uncut yew
#

Yeah man, why change if it's going well and you're invested in it

sturdy mist
#

Right

#

I think I have the tricks to do mixed train length signalless

#

And there were some developments in train DI theory I need to acknowledge as well. So I guess I do need a rework

uncut yew
#

You're many layers of complexity beyond my train knowledge

sturdy mist
#

Heh, there are interesting things to be found out in crazytown, but it takes some work to make it out there.

#

I'll try to keep things simpler for ya but I'm already trying to find "useful simplifications" for people XD

sturdy mist
boreal oyster
#

So if i flip this i think itll be fine

#

I change the direction of the wrong set of stations ig

sturdy mist
#

lol it took me a while to get used to it

#

I see no reason why you couldn't flip it, either? Do iron feeding one direction and copper feeding the other

#

Most of the system rules are just to give you an easy space to start so you don't have to think about it

#

omg pairing wagons quadruples the width of the sandwich!!!!!

uncut yew
#

I need to figure out a way to do "simple" rail loops, that basically take from providers, to requesters, with a periodic 'refueler' when needed

#

I don't know anything about the new train mechanics so that's going to be super fun to mess around with

sturdy mist
#

I haven't dug into the interrupts yet either, I don't know if I'm going to, tbh

uncut yew
#

I'm sure you will at some point, maybe just not for a while

sturdy mist
#

I suppose I'll have to at some point, but they are not worth it to me from a UPS cost

uncut yew
#

There's surely not going to be a significant UPS cost

#

That would make me very sad

sturdy mist
#

Far, far too high compared to my current refuelling method. They check interrupts after they finish up at every stop, I think

#

For a normal base that's not so bad

#

Even 400 trains, whoop de doo. But when you actually care about 0.5ms and have a thousand trains, it's a problem

uncut yew
#

how on earth do they not crash

sturdy mist
#

They all start moving at the same time

#

All paths through the build are the same length, they all spend the same amount of time at station.

uncut yew
#

That's a wild system

sturdy mist
#

I should put my money where my mouth is, shouldn't I

#

"Acceleration can be mitigated!" WELP I see what I have to do

boreal oyster
#

yeah thats better

#

now to do it accross everything

sturdy mist
#

If it looks stupid but it double tiles, is it really stupid?

boreal oyster
#

wtf man 😭

#

double tiling is based πŸ’―

sturdy mist
#

lol it's spot on for wagons. So silly. Yeah I think this is a thing

boreal oyster
#

the this iritates me tho

boreal oyster
sturdy mist
#

Yeah I need to do actual math, and out to belt

#

If I can down-beacon the furnaces and gear asm, I can maybe shuffle stuff around and get an extra beacon on the reds

boreal oyster
#

oh god i cant do stackers now

#

ig i extend the right now

#

and i have to extend the leftr

sturdy mist
#

this is "Oh I don't need to pay attention" territory

boreal oyster
sturdy mist
#

Oh shit flab has it

boreal oyster
#

i think it has

#

bro 😭 19%? sooo low

#

they rlly made the game that easy huh

sturdy mist
#

Here's 2.0 beacon count. When I knew to not worry, it was in large part because down beaconing is more effective in 2.0 than in 1.1 and it was already working in 1.1

#

1 beacon for gears and copper, 2 for iron. Turns out

#

YEET

boreal oyster
#

lol

sturdy mist
#

Dude I knew wagonlocked was going to get better but holy shit

boreal oyster
#

so much time to just fuck around

sturdy mist
#

My eyes widened when I saw the pollution changes

#

It's interesting that's what they chose

boreal oyster
#

honestly cuz im experiencing them rn might be worth to see waht they changed

sturdy mist
#

Any time wube makes decisions like that, I always take a second to see if I can figure out what they were thinking

#

I think with default biters, it's that they're tuning them for new player intro

#

The changes that were made were largely pacing

boreal oyster
#

this doesnt give me much info

sturdy mist
#

You can still hit those sliders if you want

#

It was in the 2.0 patch notes

#

c-f pollution in the patch notes

boreal oyster
#

ah ight

#

HMMM this is probably space age stuff

#

related to pollution

#

bruh it just barely clips it 😭

sturdy mist
#

Turns out 10 beacon with DI is still hard

boreal oyster
#

😭

#

i think past 8 beacons DI is hard

sturdy mist
#

Oh I think 10 isn't doable with what I want

#

Wait no I can shuffle

#

Not enough

#

That's WILDIN, is it really 9 beacon cap?!?

boreal oyster
#

ayo this guy just showed up as im finishing up 1 side of the rails

#

THE SIGNALS WORK LSGO

#

😭

sturdy mist
#

ayyyy

boreal oyster
#

that feels so good

#

it works

#

IT WORKS πŸ”₯

sturdy mist
#

I've seen better, I've seen worse.

boreal oyster
#

how filter_inserter doesnt exist fr

sturdy mist
#

Yeah it's kinda nice

boreal oyster
#

did it

#

now to let it run lol

boreal oyster
sturdy mist
#

lol wait a minute... this ain't it

boreal oyster
sturdy mist
#

Yeah, I have other improvements to make so I'm just doing the next iteration

boreal oyster
#

finished up the rails

boreal oyster
#

imma go automate power so i dont have to handfeed it lol

sturdy mist
boreal oyster
#

fr fr

#

i gotta add oil to this now then i can make blue science

#

but first

#

red and green

sturdy mist
#

I have officially cooked

#

10 beacon red, full DI, double tiling

boreal oyster
#

now add the belts lol

sturdy mist
#

i have belting for days

boreal oyster
#

1 belt possible lol

#

1 gap for <9 tiles

sturdy mist
#

Yeah if not for that I'd be boned

boreal oyster
#

lol yeah

sturdy mist
#

Wait no I'd be fine

#

I have extra beaconage don't I

boreal oyster
#

oh god yeah probably

sturdy mist
#

gulp, no I don't

boreal oyster
#

cars are so powerful

#

(if you can drive lol)

sturdy mist
#

Yeah I think it's funny that the most OP weapon is given to the player first, but only in the right hands

boreal oyster
#

well taught hands

#

automated power

#

imma hand feed the mall rq and go build new science

sturdy mist
boreal oyster
#

YOOO thats so soick

#

so nice to see it tile fr

#

btw this exists if it ever annoys you

sturdy mist
#

nice, ty

boreal oyster
sturdy mist
#

I wonder if I can do it fully with green too. Guess we gon see

#

Wonder if switchable asms would be good for that

sturdy mist
#

Okay wait this is close

uncut yew
boreal oyster
#

nah

sturdy mist
#

yea

#

If you do 2-gap-2 it's always 7tiling

#

ik it's within range for paired wagons

boreal oyster
#

ah igh paired wagons i forgot

#

i just thought of smth cursed with paired wagons

#

alternating mats on one train

#

iron wagon then copper wagon

sturdy mist
#

I considered it

#

It's bad but not that bad

boreal oyster
#

true just seems rlly cursed tbh

sturdy mist
#

It's SUPER cursed b/c like I said, you're either doubling or quadrupling the width of the build

boreal oyster
#

ah igh

sturdy mist
#

And train lengths

#

I guess you don't have to?

#

But if you've got say a 4 wagon train, and you switch to a paired design, you have to either find a solution for "every other," or double stop

boreal oyster
#

start of new science settup

boreal oyster
sturdy mist
#

Easier to see with a wagon in place that it is indeed wagon tiling.

boreal oyster
#

thats mixed wagons

#

wtf

sturdy mist
#

No, that's why filters

#

Copper train, iron train

boreal oyster
#

OH you bring in 1 train then it leaves to let the other train in

#

thats insane wtf

sturdy mist
#

It's real easy is the thing. Design double tiling on one side. Copy, h, paste one wagon down.

boreal oyster
#

that gave me a cursed idea

sturdy mist
#

rc?

#

can't be, idk what your plan is

boreal oyster
#

2 trains still but only 1 furnace supporting red science

#

oh this doesnt work cuz there is a buffer amount in furnaces

#

F

sturdy mist
#

lmfao you can split wagon that but yeah you'd have to circuit regulate

#

I wouldn't want to do it with prod too. It's probably doable

boreal oyster
#

lol yeah

#

cursed and pretty pointless

#

less stations tho shoob

sturdy mist
#

too cursed for me and that's saying something

boreal oyster
#

yeah i got high "cursed level" tolerances

#

in the sense that i accept too much cursed stuff sometimes

#

(sushi lds)

sturdy mist
#

Nope, not liking this. Idk if I'mma be able to do this

#

Most of what's pictured here seems forced?

#

This is what's forcing my hand

#

The triangle of 6 cannot change. Which means GC goes exactly there. Woof.

sturdy mist
#

I'm not stoked about training plates.

#

This shit's taunting me

boreal oyster
#

7 labs should be enough righttt?

#

if not i can always do this

sturdy mist
#

lol, sure.....?

boreal oyster
#

im gonna add blue right after and i think i might be able to add yellow science to this aswell

sturdy mist
#

I found a repetition at 3 but I think I need a nap lol

boreal oyster
sturdy mist
#

I'd have to remove beacons to multi-stop, which is probably doable

boreal oyster
#

is it a sign to stop? nah

sturdy mist
#

Honestly, I'm not displeased with what I have for the green science itself

#

Those 7 machines are locked in, I think. The rest is weird.

boreal oyster
boreal oyster
sturdy mist
#

Oh that's not beltable either, wat happened to my beltable version

#

...ah

boreal oyster
#

maybe

#

nvm

#

its cuz of this

#

or the placement of the green science assembler

#

but as you said its all locked in so idk

#

i gtg sleep so goodnight have fun

sturdy mist
#

cyaa

sturdy mist
#

I don't love it

#

It's not good horizontal tiling but I can make the horizontal work, that's slop right now

#

The thing that's fucking with me is the vertical tiling. 3 is weird but if I'm going to double stop I need to have some room on the tracks anyhow

feral maple
sturdy mist
#

I like it a lot. Wagonlocked has been seriously powered up

#

Going from 8 to 10 or 12 beacon is less important, and it's more likely that a 3 beacon intermediate is enough

feral maple
#

nice

sturdy mist
#

Also the game straight up tells you if your DI is going to work or not

feral maple
#

yes

#

well from this point i cant share any progress with u guys

#

ill need to cook my own thread again

#

its so steel heavy bruh

#

also fck trees i need grenades

sturdy mist
#

I have been more stoked about builds before. But I've also been less stoked

#

I haven't figured out the double stop copper problem yet

feral maple
#

thats cursed af ngl

sturdy mist
#

It might be cursed but it's 100% DI from ores

feral maple
#

ok not spoiler ||but u cant send every item in the game || thats a new one

sturdy mist
#

If it wasn't for the fact that this build behaves so goddamn good I wouldn't be working in this space still

feral maple
#

it looks so weird tho

sturdy mist
#

I hella wish I could compress it but 3 wagon is fucking weird

#

I don't want to fuck with actual 3 wagon so I just gapped it to 4

feral maple
#

gaming can start

sturdy mist
#

0 spacing is officially in

feral maple
#

holy

#

im bussin

#

always wanted to do that

#

what about chunk aligning

sturdy mist
#

New curves probably fuck chunks completely, it was barely there beforehand and curves are larger

feral maple
#

well 2x2 or 3x3 it is

sturdy mist
#

that's 40x40

#

I might be able to scrape a weeeee bit more

feral maple
#

well the bridges are large

#

i saw some 8 way intersection on reddit tho that had 420TPM

#

crazy af when the record was 117 before

sturdy mist
#

Here's my new fav aesthetic on 0 spaced

feral maple
#

its like that diamond interchange just on 1 level

#

no?

sturdy mist
#

Not quite DDI

feral maple
#

i hate the waiting part of the game

sturdy mist
#

There is no waiting phase

feral maple
#

yes there is

#

im building my mall

#

and for expanding i need the mall

sturdy mist
#

If you're waiting on something you fucked up already

feral maple
#

i still have only 1 belt of each

#

last time i had 30x speed πŸ˜„

sturdy mist
#

lol you're so modpilled you forgot how to play vanilla

#

This makes me irrationally happy

feral maple
#

xd

#

this is cool

#

but u still cant copy paste the groups.....

#

so i still need to set every item

#

atleast u can do trash unrequesd

sturdy mist
#

I think I like this one best

feral maple
#

how do the new request limits work

sturdy mist
#

Idk I haven't looked into it

feral maple
#

oh i think its about quality

sturdy mist
#

Vanilla LTN is super simple tho, once again Wube took the idea of LTN and did it better

#

Setup an interrupt for every cargo type, all trains the same

#

Probably pull full cargo first for UPS reasons but that's minimal

boreal oyster

I love this QoL feature - though it's definitely missing the copy/paste mechanic we have in other areas of the game
