for labs you want prods

named it wrong

did you figure it out?

lab modules

[kindred estuary]

i havent got auto blue circits

i got to set that up

[normal osprey]

Then use prod 1's since those only require red/green circuits

It’s worth setting up processing just for highest tier modules tbh

But use prod 1s if you don’t wanna do that

And if you make use there too

[kindred estuary]

how do i set up auto modules going into my labs do i need to use the long arms ?

[forest trench]

Auto placement not needed

They won’t be used up

[normal osprey]

Just manually put them in

[kindred estuary]

ok

[normal osprey]

blueprints can have them placed in when you get th ere

[kindred estuary]

ill try set up the modules

auto

bit of a noodle mess

uncooked spaghetti

I’d recommend upgrading all mk1 assemblers to level 2 as well

And are aliens on?

[kindred estuary]

yes

[kindred estuary]

ill get around to that after since im going to be researching level 3 soon

they probualy also take blue circits right ?

[forest trench]

No, just a bunch of speed modules

That upgrade is far less worth

Only good if you intend to use the extra module slots IMO

They’d be good for processing units for instance or science assembly where you can put more

[kindred estuary]

how should i lay out my research labs

[forest trench]

There’s.. lots of ways

I’d just keep inserter chaining to a minimum if possible

It can cause downtime

Meaning you must spend more expensive to upgrade your labs

So it’s best to actually use some to speed up labs, reducing total cost overall.

i havent got them researched

i need to finish my purple science
