Cool

[zinc moat]

There are some fascinating new machines in the teaser for the expansion

[civic hill]

That… looks a bit mad

[eager vault]

one of my friends apparently solved stabilized water in 15 and im just utterly baffled

best i could get was 29

[eager vault]

ok my brain is just not wired for cycles

[zinc moat]

I did manage 15

[eager vault]

alright gonna try and optimize some of the earlier stages more

it almost seems like a bunch of single arms on a track are better than hexa-arms, just because each single arm doesnt need to drop stuff for the rest to drop stuff

[eager vault]

holy SHIT

[zinc moat]

Yeah this is the trick

[eager vault]

im beginning to See

ok where does the game put the gifs lol

[zinc moat]

You could remove that Air at max speed without a track

[eager vault]

oh gdi you're right lmao

[zinc moat]

Because you don't need to calcify anything, you can max speed sealant without tracks

[eager vault]

wait how

[eager vault]

holy shit

[crisp bobcat]

I shall post the abomination here once it finishes loading

[crisp bobcat]

does... does anybody know how many times does the gif recording thing loop to record the gif?

its only one product, or its all 6 products?

it went pretty fast for one loop but then slowed down and now is like... still looping at a normal speed

this thing took an hour and a half to record and complete

[brave light]

Tragedy: Voltaic Coil build optimized by 19 cycles but doesn't look pretty anymore

[zinc moat]

That first one does look very nice

[brave light]

Jesus Christ how do you loop this thing

[zinc moat]

Is this from the dlc?

[brave light]

Yeah

[midnight escarp]

finally got far enough into my backlog to start this -- so far scratches a very similar itch to Factorio

[brave light]

Nice!
Btw, do you have an empty cycle after moving the water on the calcification glyph? There's a weird stutter in the gif at that moment and I keep counting 83 cycles for this program instead of the 89 you have

[midnight escarp]

I don't think so?

ignore the highlight

[brave light]

You're grabbing it again on the third cycle

[midnight escarp]

Oh, you're right! First time I saw the calcification glyph in the tutorial it seemed like it forced my arm to drop it, so I was setting everything up to pick it back up.

[brave light]

Nope, you only have to pass it over

[brave light]

Oh, that's a great one!

[zinc moat]

Armor Polish is kicking my butt

[crisp bobcat]

medieval squires be like

[brave light]

Made this solution, still worse than manual but that's as far as I'm getting on this level, I think

I'm really not vibing with the bootstrapping cycle stuff

Also, not to brag (lying), but, lest you think me but a middling alchemist after that - made Universal Solvent in 85 yesterday

[cold cliff]

mildly diabolical sigmar's garden gen here, I haven ever seen it perfectly cage me off with quicksilver like that before

I think I would have had to take a different path at the complete start and make sure I used that one to the northwest to burn lead

[midnight escarp]

It took me way too long but I finally did a version of Airship Fuel I was satisfied with

(DLC Journal) Cuprite:

[cold cliff]

I'm cobbling together the most bootleg solutions to the campaign during my lunch breaks this past week and it's funny seeing my friends leaderboard topped by Perijove/Perijove/Perijove every time

[zinc moat]

New patch today, apparently. Soda Ash:

[zinc moat]

Probably a dumb way to do this

[summer kite]
