10,800 sulfur on the map

latent prawn
#

yep, honestly in my last playthrough i started actually turning some of it into copper

shrewd palm
#

i am genuinely amazed that no one has made a mod for this

boreal musk
#

infinite nudge lets you nudge pretty much everything

shrewd palm
#

yeah but its gonna be such a pain

#

its not the ability to nudge im concerned about its the fact that im going to have to nudge 504 water extractors because apparently the water in the ocean doesnt count as water

elder apex
#

the annoyances of placing water extractors is exactly why the Universal Soft Clearance and Shallow Water Extractors mods were made. With them you can blueprint your water extractors and drop them down en masse rather than have to fiddle with each one individually

shrewd palm
#

does it just let you build on blueprints and not have to worry about how deep water is or something?

elder apex
# shrewd palm what does soft clearance do?

it lets you ignore hard clearance restrictions for machines, so that you can place things pretty much wherever you want to. The Shallow Water Extractors basically makes any water valid for the initial placement of an extractor. Couple those two with infinite nudge and you can easily make whatever blueprint you want for your extractors, and then you could even disable the mods afterwards as the blueprint would still work for placing them

Quick question, if I use a drone to transport packaged fluids and fluid containers, will I be able to use a single drone to transport both, without getting issues if the drone is full of empty containers, etc?

so you think id be alright using 6200 sulfur for turbofuel?

latent prawn
#

well, you could, but that's a bonkers amt of sulfur to put into turbofuel

chrome coral
#

agh

latent prawn
#

600 sulfur with 900 oil, doing blended tf -> default rocket fuel = 120gw

chrome coral
#

I already build the part making the heavy oil residue. should I just have it go into fuel and have that be it?

#

the part ive built is making 4600 heavy oil/m

latent prawn
#

like, build how you want to build, but you'd be making quite a bit of power

#

i've found that when you overshoot what you need when you need it by too much, you just end up building and building and eventually burn out

chrome coral
#

Okay so how much turbo fuel would you recommend I make?

dense violet
chrome coral
dense violet
#

diluted fuel easily gets you to nuclear

latent prawn
#

i can't tell you that, its rather situational based on how much factory you need to power and what you want your endgame power strategy to be

#

what i can say is that a few 100 gw of power will get you to the end of the game's objectives rather comfortably

chrome coral
#

then I wont even have to worry about compacted coal

#

Oil isnt necessarily used for much except fuel right?

#

and byproducts ofc

hollow hemlock
#

plastic, computers, little things liek that

dense violet
prisma thicket
#

I went turbofuel because I don't want to bother with nuclear xD at least until I have the whole system unlocked

latent prawn
#

i'll also say that right now in my playthrough, i'm in phase 4, having just built a 40gw turbofuel plant (which i'll upgrade to 120gw of rocket fuel later), and i expect that to be more than enough power until i start entertaining nuclear

Got a manifold fluid question; I have 15 refiners making HOR to feed my Turbofuel, the math is correct (600/37.5=16) so it should be being utlizied at a 1:1 rate, but the last 2 refiners or so seem to be kinda stuck around 90% efficiency, any advice on that?

I found a nice spot where everything was close together, so it wasn't a hassle to build.

Flipping switches, will check back in in a few

prisma thicket
# chrome coral im guessing the blue crater?

No actually, I have been avoiding using the blue crater until I want to build a really massive Rocketfuel plant xD It's kind on the border of the Northern Forest, Giant Forest and Red Bamboo biomes

chrome coral
#

ah

prisma thicket
#

One sulfur node, one coal node, a few oil nodes and plenty of water, got me a nice 50 generator setup with room to expand it if I so choose.

wet shoal
#

Would avoid full 600 / min manifold.

#

Even with loop and prefill it can be unstable

prisma thicket
#

Well currently it's only 375 TF/min, so there's still room before 600. But I'm not worried about power for the time being, only using 11000 MW when I'm producing 24000 across my entire system

hybrid crystal
#

Time to build pasta for the first time. Finding enough copper will be... interesting

prisma thicket
#

Start filtering copper out of any recipes you can, the only thing you really need copper for are copper sheets, wire can easily be replaced with Iron or Caterium depending on what you have the most of spare

#

Then you can gather all the spare copper in one location to make powder

wet shoal

#

It isn't a crazy amount. 2/min, and I have the pressure cubes ready to bring in by drone

#

I've been making liberal use of the Iron Wire alt recipe since I got it xD makes tons of early game items so much simpler. That and cast screws

would anyone know by chance?

wary blaze
#

chat i have a weird problem

#

so rn i have like every item being made all the way to high speed connectors and sending them all into a storage system

#

and im trying to think how i can have a system where i can take all the materials being made from the preexisitng factories into potential new factories and having the excess of that go to my storage

#

that wont be an absoulte headache to implement everytime i make a new factory

latent prawn
wary blaze
#

thru belts

#

bc most of my factories except my oil refinery is relatively near

trim vine
wary blaze
#

whats an item spine

#

is it just branching off a main belt

latent prawn
#

well, you can split off with a smart splitter to each factory requiring them and then overflow what's left to storage, or you could just set up a crate and dim depot at the production facility and not worry about centralizing it

wary blaze
#

i dont have enough mercer spheres to validate mass depot usage

#

my current idea is to have an area where everything goes thru first and thats where i split things off and then the overflow goes into storage

trim vine
# wary blaze whats an item spine

towers where you can feed belts into and user conveyor lifts to bring them up, if you build them as "pillars" they can look nice, and be incapsulated to hide them

latent prawn
#

well, 15 minutes of hunting ought to yield enough spheres to take care of that consideration

wary blaze
trim vine
wary blaze
#

oh shit i think i have an idea

latent prawn
#

you use them for supplying YOU building materials

wary blaze
#

yeah its like a second inventory

trim vine
#

ahhh

wary blaze
#

but in low level its kinda not that useful because it only holds one stack of each item

latent prawn
#

each depot's upload speed caps at 240/min, but if you double or tripple up the depots on items like concrete, it is pretty sweet to not have to resupply ever

wary blaze
#

yeah i imagine late game where you have a shit ton of everything and a lot of spheres for depots it becomes vital

latent prawn
#

it is even useful at low upgrade levels

#

how often do you just need one extra stack of something to avoid a trip home?

wary blaze
#

not that often because i bring absurd stacks of what i need

#

me when i need 200 cable but i bring 1k

latent prawn
#

yeah, it keeps you from needing to do all of that, honestly

trim vine
#

ok, I am still having trouble with the fluids...

I flushed the system, made sure each one had a tank of 50, before then making sure the pipes were full as well, before turning turning it all back on.

I also added @dense violet 's loop in the system as well.

Left it alone for 10 minutes, and same issue, a few still arent clocking at 100%, some even as low as like 50 or so....

Do I also need to flood the downstream too?

#

Also, just watching it for a bit, the flow rate in the pipe from the HOR refineries to the turbofuel ones flow rate fluctuates from like, 585 to 75 every 10 or so seconds

latent prawn
#

i wouldn't put a lot of stock in the readouts on the flow, they always have seemed a bit random to me. perhaps you need to double check your math?

sage oracle
#

I always found it sketchy to use tanks funny enough, most shit in my factory are working great without them

latent prawn
#

in general buffers only make problems worse

I love how this game has so many "You cant stop me" moments. For example, I was building a hypertube hub the other day and wanted to put a couple entrances on a diagonal. But u cant do that with normal rotating for whatever reason. So I put down a beam in the orientation i wanted and snaped the entrance to it. "You can't stop me, I don't know how to read"

latent prawn
#

not so much finicky as it is that if you push any transport to its capacity, there's never capacity for things to catch up, so any variance only drops the rate

trim vine
latent prawn
#

another thing you could try that i'm pretty keen on is instead of using 15 refineries at 100%, use 6 at 250%

trim vine
latent prawn
#

shorter pipe manifolds often behave better

trim vine
#

hmmm, aiight

latent prawn
#

let me stop you for a second and ask a question to examine our assumptions.... are your hor refineries all at the same altitude?

trim vine
latent prawn
#

so no elevation change with the pipes?

not including the loop I added in from cobalt, no

#

#

sending you an image since I cant post it here

"i paid for the full speedometer ima use the full speedometer"

trim vine

We yearn for the mines?

im like that but instead of "speedometer" its "map"

i currently have a build in every(ish) major biome

if it does then yeah i have a build there too

is there a way to activate noclip? i see a command in the console called "PlayerNoClipModeOnFly" but it doesn't seem to work when i put it in

Is there a way to set multiple machine's recipes at once, or do I have to set blueprint factories' recipes either manually in all machines or save every item i want to create as a separate blueprint?
I envision something like a central control unit that sets the recipe for all connected machines.

I'm making a tool to help me with the rule of three stuff. (I damn can't do it in my head.) And I wonder if I get busted if I make screenshots ingame of the buildings panels for the tool's gui.

I don't want to solve rule of three maths on paper anymore. (looking at the recycle bin)

dawn idol
prisma thicket
#

If you need to do math while playing the game, hit the N key and type in your equation, it'll give you the answer.

olive condor
#

One can manipulate the output value either with percentage or actual value. But I often only know the input value I want.

dawn idol

can u not do that from ingame? I swear u could

Yah, the N key brings up a search bar but it also works as a calculator

In german it's called Dreisatz... wait maybe I got the translation wrong.

dawn idol
#

The "rule of three" is a principle that suggests humans process and remember information more easily when it's presented in a sequence of three items

#

huh interesting

#

idk if that really matters for satifactory tho

olive condor
#

For example for what I mean: I have a certain amount of Alumiuim Scrap and want to know how far I must overclock the foundry. Normal rates (100%) in per min are 90 Al-Scrap, 75 Silica which outputs 60 Al-Ingots. Let's say I have 127 Al-Scrap. The way to solve this is to create an equation like this: 90 scrap equals to 100%, 127 equals to x % -> 100 * 127 / 90 = x %

#

This is what we called Dreisatz back in my school days.

#

dict.cc translated that with rule of three.

true mulch
#

A factory that makes the same amount of motors will require the same amount of machines and resources. But a dependent factory will have them split between a central steel factory, central wire factory, etc. An independent factory will make everything in-house.
It's an illusion that you have to build more. In fact, it can be the opposite. If you centralize steel, you might build more than you need to "future-proof".

frail sleet
#

You can make Motors with only Iron if you have alt recipies. If you don't, it takes small amounts of 3 different resources tops. You can import one resource to another if neccesary

#

I'm guessing it's only possible to aim for this mid-game? Feels like it needs a lot of expansion and exploration

You can (and probably should) do it right from the start, those tools just make it easier (while getting higher level tech makes it harder)

true mulch
#

An independent factory can have more than 1 output product (it's actually better to group stuff up if they use the same inputs)

#

And yeah, it's definitely applicable as soon as in tier 1/2

frail sleet
#

the important part is going from ore to product rather than product to product where not neccesary

Product to product to product can get out of hand extremely quickly.

I built a coal power plant that burns up 1200 compacted coal per minute. Did I need it? No, definitely not. I build it anyway. 😄

molten dragon
#

I had an idea that I wanted to test the possible stupidity of, before I embark on its construction. Being a fairly new victim...uh, slave, uh...whatever, I figured that before things got complicated that I'd make them, um...complicated.....so

#

The theory is that I go out and build a miner on every resource I can find, literally every one, then create an equal height aerial conveyor system, back to an enormous bank of smelters etc, being the hub for every single puppy-saving item that absolutely needs to be produced in humanity-saving bulk.

#

Thoughts?

frail sleet
# molten dragon Thoughts?

That is hundreds of kilometers of belts and you're gonna have to rip it all down when you get better tech

molten dragon
#

Well yes, I was thinking about that and so you raise a valid point.

frail sleet
#

and with a lot of resources you actually dont want to smelt them, e.g. foundries and refineries exist later

icy steppe
#

is it known when the experimental version 1.1 will be released in the base game?

i would say think about a project like that when you are in p4+ 😄

there is too much that you need to know to do it in a way that makes sense, which you best learn by playing

frail sleet
molten dragon
#

Hmm, I am just about to complete P2, so I will take that advice probably.

Not officially possible

also a pain to set up, not worth the time imo

is there a way to keep the game from updating if 1.1 gets pushed? (because i want to wait for my mods to update)

it's a pain but it works

true mulch

you can back up the current game install elsewhere and run it offline

although I'm not sure how it works with mods

#

the game has no DRM, you can just run it in offline mode as long as you have the files

split badger
#

is there a channel for requests or do we just ask the devs directly?

true mulch
#

what kind of request

split badger
#

modules for vehicles, you craft or find one, and then stick it in your vehicle of choice for something like: more top speed, more acceleration, more fuel efficiency, more storage, more handling, etc.

fossil iceBOT
split badger
jade apex
#

and the ficsit cart and cyberwagon

split badger
#

i meant to give them a little extra boost

#

probably only one module slot so you can't abuse it (unless people want more)

#

so you would have to decide what you want more for your vehicle

reef basin
#

not a big fan of that idea

split badger
#

☹️

maybe i shouldnt have made the idea if it's stupid... 😔

reef basin
#

the fact that some people don't like it doesn't mean that it's stupid 🤷

split badger

sorry, im just used to people hating my ideas that i sometimes feel like i'm not allowed to make any suggestions.

reef basin
#

I'm just giving you my opinion, it's not really a hate, it just doesn't feel right in SF 🤷

#

but maybe devs or other people would feel differently, that's why you post it to QA site, so that it reaches more people

left totem
#

it's kinda like you have no ego, I argue with people all the time and I rarely/never think that my vision of things is wrong or stupid, it has its ups and downs

#

you can have ideas, opinions, and even though it's easier to say than to do, fuck the people who hate on you (not greeny because greeny doesn't do hate, he does objectical stupid way of thinking that makes me mad)

split badger
#

i just wanted to think of an idea to give the game some QoL

#

Plus maybe there's a way to balance the idea i suggested?

left totem
split badger
#

oh ok

#

i'd personally would like to see a slight upgrade with these modules, but probably only 1 slot so you have to pick what you want.

#

so probably like if you do acceleration maybe only a 10% increase, or the storage upgrade only does 8 slots, granted it also depends on the vehicle too. some might get more or less benefits based on certain modules.

cosmic delta
#

i kinda do like the idea in theory, in real gameplay it would be a nightmare to implement with minimal gain unfortunately. the top speed/handling/acceleration probably wouldn't be possible at all.

dawn idol
#

im hating myself rn due to this LOL

split badger

maybe 25% for acceleration then, 10% would be too small.

Hey there @void gorge

I figured it may have fallen off the to-do list somewhere but I was wondering if it would be possible to get an "opt-in" notification role for streams in the Discord server? Personally I would recommend YAGPDB for it. (Commonly termed as "Reaction Roles")

It would require someone to manually @ the role prior to the stream starting, but it would be immensely helpful and honestly would promote more activity/engagement on the streams (if you are looking for that).

  • Note: #announcements is mentioned in the video, but that is a bit less user-friendly to deal with. Most Discord users (myself included) are regularly used to reaction roles and are conditioned for that.

essentially, you just open a new tab in SFTools, add the products, and build that... without having to care about other factories

now bladerunners + parachute/jetpack is great for exploring though

and remember you can group the factories up

it could be worthwhile to group up reinforced iron plates and modular plates, for example

or, later, group up computers, crystal oscillators, AI limiters, high-speed connectors and supercomputers into one factory

#

you get my point

grizzled lotus
#

how do I define a "factory" though? For example, I'm assuming an iron plate factory isn't a goal itself, but rather a reinforced plate factory.

if I make a factory for each part then that might be far too much

note that it isn't always the best option to make a completely independent factory, for example I like to centralize oil and aluminum anyway

shrewd palm
#

excluding stuff like sulfur and coal, would the crater lake, west coast, or spire coast be the best spot for all the oil?

#

im already using a couple nodes in the spire coast but wouldnt mind training over some oil

dense violet
#

you mean processing all of the oil?

#

if you're doing the recycle loop I probably wouldn't do it all in one spot

shrewd palm
#

thats probably how its going to end up, yes

shrewd palm
dense violet
#

heavy oil residue to diluted fuel to recycled plastic/rubber

#

for high output product

shrewd palm
#

i see

#

what would be the best option for that

dense violet
dense violet
shrewd palm
#

like where to build separate factories for the recycle loop

#

or would it even matter as long as they're not in the same spot

dense violet
#

where ever you need it

it's easier to move a small amount of oil than the rubber/plastic it makes

unkempt blade
#

but I'm allergic to moving liquids any real distance 😦

dense violet
#

with the recycle loop you end up with 1 oil = 3 rubber or plastic. Easier to move the oil first. And then you can set up the logistics very neatly at the factory that needs it

dense violet
unkempt blade
#

all that plastic and rubber is a great excuse for a train though

dense violet
#

oh that factory is obsolete. I realised it was a terrible idea as soon as I finished it

shrewd palm
#

i think the plan right now is to move all the oil i need to a fuel plant, and then move the packaged fuel to wherever i need it for plastic/rubber

#

not sure how the loop works tho

unkempt blade
#

fuel/plastic/rubber is usually my first really big factory in a playthrough

dense violet
unkempt blade
#

because the fuel it can be net positive on power and I always need TONS of plastic and rubber

dense violet
#

its like moving the ingots instead of the wire. It's just more compact

shrewd palm

#

shrug up to you, just giving you the info

the real jackpot is copper near oil then you can just do computer stuff on site

endpoint. when you click the first time to start and then choose where the railway goes before it's "too long". it won't let me put a descending track

reef basin
#

Use beams to align exactly as you need

grizzled lotus
#

beams?

#

atm I'm placing foundations in midair to get the railway accross gaps

#

and then removing the foundations. I'm not sure how this was intended by the devs

leaden ether
#

So I wasn't sure if this was built in or not because I installed a mod some time ago to allow nudging up and down (Why this isn't in base games is... ?!?) So I can move the endpoint up and down to the level I want. I then set the pillars for looks afterwards. I was setting pillars first but so often I would have to move them a couple times to get a good track position and it was a litle tiring.

#

And the having to move the pillars thing was usually because of the inability to control the rotation of the endpoint so had to make the track shorter so it didn't over rotate around a corner. (Though maybe I am missing a key combo that allows that, it's prtty normal thing for setting splines in other games/programs)

so i got mk2 power poles, is there a way to make it automaticly set it to them like how if you get a cabel to a machine and look at the ground it allows you to make a pole, how can i make that pole mk2?

Like maybe someone can explain this to me. When you are laying a track, there is an option that comes up that says "Rotate Hologram/Scroll up and down" Which certainly suggests that it would rotate the endpoint of the track allowing you to adjust the curve/angle of the track at the endpoint but it does nothing. Is this just not functional or... ?

#

I feel like I'm missing something because that option is there but doesn't do anything :/

Like a big U shape and make stations along the prongs of the U before connecting it back to the rails megaprint

#

Better than making a turn from the megaprint into a train station then back to the megaprint for each station

And I can just put 1 path signal before each station, yeah? No need to put a block signal

leaden ether

Okay. After a little brainstorming. Rather than a U shape which might cause a traffic jam while one of the trains dock.
I could branch the first train station into multiple railways each containing a station of it's own then combine all rails going out of the stations into one rail to converge them back into one and back into the megaprint. But I will need a block signal before the converges?

#

Or just a path signal before they converge?

You will need a blocksignal at the junctions exit and a path signal at its entrance.

Have one rail diverge into the factory and branch it out into seperate rails with each of them their own station then join them into eachother before going back into the megaprint

#

Have a path signal placed after each station

latent prawn
#

i mean you can do many things, some will be better than others in terms of throughput

vague gate
#

The one you made seems more efficient but I have trouble with path and block signals

#

I pulled a megaprint cause junctions are a nightmare

#

Even the pull-push track I made, I had to troubleshoot a few times to figure out what's wrong xD

#

OR

#

I can make a mesh of rails

latent prawn
#

use path signals on the entrance to a intersection, block signals on the way out. use path signals within an large intersection block to provide more concurrency, and lastly use block signals to partition long straight-aways

#

alternatively, you can just signal everything with block signals for simplicity

vague gate
#

A branching U shape

latent prawn
#

yeah, that works

vague gate
#

And each line I could put 2 stations in succession

#

Could have as many lines as I like

probably the biggest concept in rail design is to design them so that trains get off of shared tracks asap

not much of it matters too much until you have a lot of trains and multiple trains on the same route

#

Yeah, but I'm planning to ship everything here. So the more the merrier xD

in general, don't worry about optimization problems until you observe bottlenecks that are problematic

you'll have to build more of it for me to say yes or no

Ummm, I got work in a few hours and I'm supposed to be alseep xD But once I get time tomorrow, I'll build a bigger prototype and tag you on it and see

latent prawn
#

honestly, when i was starting off with rail signalling, i used block signals everywhere and then started later converting over to path signals. i feel that's an easier way to go

Block signals placed before stations, yeah?

azure swan
# chrome cloud blueprints do no such thing

While placing a blueprint you can build in standard mode where it will attempt to snap objects near the edges to something or it will attempt to place the blueprint down on the ground. You can use this to snap a foundation at an edge to another foundation at the same height and nudge to your desired location.

Second choice is exactly what Dr Ogo said. Blueprints do snap to blueprints in their entirety if you hit R and switch to "Blueprint Mode". This from blueprint mode if you hold Ctrl and hover to the edge of another blueprint it will attempt to put the new blueprint side by side (or on top of, under etc) with the other blueprint. Also it will show the bounding box of the other blueprint you're near.

this doesn't do anything

#

they don't actually snap and there's not even a visual indicator that they're aligned correctly

#

with regular buildings there's snap mode

#

it does nothing for blueprints

Guys do we know how far a pulse nobelisk can throw you? I mean I did blow up fifty of them at once whilst standing on them and it chucked me far off the map and I was wondering how far one would throw you.

Would increasing the output of my water extractors improve the flow to the last few machines in my manifold?

Connecting part of the supply supply to the far end alone might fix it.

So when I slooped those blenders, I ended up with twice as much rocket fuel as I thought I would, because I was estimating based on the number of packaged that factory was producing

So that's some nice extra power

Figured out why my pipe manifold was stuttering... I didn't overclock my extractors like I was supposed to xD

prisma thicket
#

Ok, I'm still having water troubles. I have one pipe going into a junction showing 600 units of flow, but the 2 pipes coming out of the junction have 125 and 0 flow...

latent prawn
#

pipe flow rate readings are at best misleading

#

if you are doing a 600->300+300 split, i'd recommend dropping down after the split to mk1 pipes

prisma thicket
#

Well the system SUPPOSEDLY only requires 310 water per minute, but I was still getting supply issues at 360 production. So I just maxed out the extractors to 300/300 each until things even out. Sick of this particular build atm, just want it to work lol

latent prawn
#

aluminum?

prisma thicket
#

ACU automation

latent prawn
#

gotcha

#

i really try to avoid using the mk2 pipes at capacity

prisma thicket
#

With aluminum I got lucky and had the sloppy alumina and pure aluminum ingots recipes pop up with my first few hard drives in phase 4

#

so yes my bauxite is only 90% efficient, but less tedium to worry about with the quartz and silica stuff

leaden ether
#

You checked the machines to see if they are actually being starved of water? THe occasion where I've had real problems with this I manually split the pipes several times, lowering the use of manafolds as much as practical.

latent prawn
#

well, sloppy+electro scrap + pure is about the best you can do without silica

prisma thicket
#

Yah, I don't have electro scrap yet, and I didn't want to put the oil into the system to give me more flexibility in locations. Wound up with a nice spot covering my aluminum needs in the red bamboo biome.

latent prawn
#

gotcha, the oil fracking well will be there later for ya

prisma thicket
#

All my pipes are now at capacity, so I can go clock down my extractors now lol

Where do you find steam screenshots again?

I hate building these, currently making 1/min with the most compact factory I can make using alternate recipes, and it takes up 20x20 foundations

I know most say valves suck etc etc, but does anyone ever use the wfo on long run pipes to limit backflow?

Or better to use an unpowered pump?

Enemies? You mean the corpses that spawn when I use my explosive rebar?

#

If you asked me, I wish the entire alt recipe tree was like that... but at the same time. I guess RNG is better since you don't have to unlock like 10 recipes just to unlock the one you want.

For some of my blueprints, I always have to rebuild all elevators after placing them or they will not deliver items. For others, it works just fine. Does anybody know a possible cause or fix for that?

eager palm
#

Try loading them in the blue printer and rebuilding the ones that cause consistent problems and save the blueprint. When in doubt, rebuild all connections for fresh links.

stray meteor
#

Will try, is that a known problem though?

is there an easy way to dismantle everything in the world and have the resources stored somewhere?

prisma thicket

I don't think so, you can only dismantle 50 items at a time

I think I'll just migrate and forget about this factory. I didn't think of this before but it sounds like a good idea now

Wait for the winter sale in a few months, you can also see if you can get a steam key.

If you have a friend with it I think you can use family sharing to get the game for free

The game is also 14 euro in Russia

In that case the answer is no

# humble vortex thanks

you'll probably need to mess with the clocking and or the number of machines, but it's pretty straight forward

humble vortex
#

I have been told that there's a way to use pipe elevation to act as priority merger with water pressure

#

that seems less fun
