aic-factory

[fallow rover]

Tell that to my brain that can't figure out how to make a good factory

[thorny galleon]

Making my factory setups has been my pride and joy

So much so that I'm forgetting that I need to go save some people to get to more factory stuff

[halcyon radish]

i spent my entire day 2 on factory

didn't do jack shit else

[zenith seal]

I did that for xiranite when I wanted to get the production asap, then I adjust things for optimization.

Eventually I started looking online for other people's work and copy theirs if I think is better lol

[small totem]

Honestly the way i do it is by looking at the ratio of materials needed, for example Ground buckflower powder, you need 2 buckflower powder and 1 Sandleaf powder, hence the machines for both goes 2 production line for buckflower and 1 for sandleaf, but also need to note the actual production of the said item too, as it can cause problems, like unlike buckflower which gives you 2 for each, sandleaf gives your 3 powder for each. so we've to rule into into it too. sometimes i increase the production even more to incorporate it, sometimes i just send it to the storage and use it somewhere else. we also have to note the time it takes to make the said item, and increase the total production machines according to it, do note that each item has 2 second delay before inputting into the device so take a note of that, For eg, HC Valley battery takes 10 seconds to make, and it needs 10 steel part and 15 Dense Origium Powder, hence you can just make 2 machines for steel part and 3 for Dense Origium Powder, and with that you can input the needed items in 5 trips, hence 10 seconds, with which, by the time the previous battery is done making, you've a new production ready to go.
sorry for the long ramble, but i'm trying to input as much as i can think of with no sleep rn

Sorry for the wall of text

[indigo bramble]

Holy wall of text

[thorny galleon]

Watching the factories do their thing is therapy. Let's me forget the complicated things about life as I watch things go BRRRRR

[woven vessel]

Oh and @distant cedar I don't even have full area expansion or buss depot unlocked in one of the bases xD

[vestal moat]

[shrewd knoll]

I just do this, the components get super minimal xiranite so the income is something but it's pretty much batteries

[shadow lichen]

Any Valley IV endgame blueprints to share?

[fallow rover]

But tbh I was never really good at City Builder games or Factory Builders

[shadow lichen]

I'm not really good with the factory building

[vapid dock]

actually crazy how much credits clue exchange gives

[halcyon radish]

did you check the channel right under this one called #1461542035617091681

might just have what you need

[shadow lichen]

I think my discord is shit because it's not loading or refreshing

[brave vapor]

i did this too, until i realize a setup in here that took 9 hours to think was only smaller than my setup by like 2 squares in one direction, no hate to the guy that made it

[pulsar sphinx]

is it a good idea to keep selling even if it does not overflow for Wuling Outpost? it's to gain more money i know but then it doesn't provide level anymore

[thorny galleon]

I, too, like to optimize the depot outputs to maximize the efficiency of the 30/min output they have

[shadow lichen]

I can't see anything there

[distant cedar]

my setup for 18 hc batteries uses the majority of the depot bus there isn't much left except a small pocket for a small material upgrade, not enough room for a full pipeline

[small totem]

I mean... you don't want to earn stonks credits??

[dull flicker]

this essence system is gonna make me crash out

[hearty walrus]

Does anyone have a HC battery power generator I could use

[obtuse raven]

They basically force you to use the tickets to target farm

[hearty walrus]

I'm in a bit of an energy crisis here

[small totem]

though tbh, idk why they made it stop at lvl 2 only, but for now, i'm still selling to buy materials from the shop

[vapid dock]

rng to get the item rng to etch (both gated by sanity)

[zenith seal]

I just keep selling them tbh, plenty of things to buy and upgrade still

[lost lantern]

Why does Power Plateau SubPAC not have an Area Defense mode thing? Alr SubPAC lvl 3 there

[dull flicker]

its like "you CAAAAAN farm for them without the tickets, but its turbo omega griefing waste of time to do so"

might as well not even have the option

[fervent hornet]

Hmm.. am I missing any mines I wonder.. either that or running 2x batteries and 1x syringe isn't viable rn

[dull flicker]

90 is maximum ferrium yield rn

[woven vessel]

The amethyst batteries use like a 3 depot's, it's very small and easy to setup multiple

And as said above, I'm pretty sure you're doing sth wrong

Like u can easy setup batteries in hub, using up like 2/5th of depot bus per chain

I have yet to unlock full 1 bus depot upgrade in hub

And one are expansion in 3rd camp

And should have more than whole camp worth of depot bus free

And also space

[zenith seal]

nope, that's the max and yes, ferrium deficiency with syringes but its worth the hiccup

[small totem]

Yeah, same, but sometimes it the name of efficiency and high yeild, i accidently make a mega factory instead.
sometimes i've time to make it compact and high output, and sometimes i just give up and look for a blueprint instead

[viral nest]

does anyone have a self sustaining endgame main aic build with max area upgrades

[lost lantern]

Why does Power Plateau SubPAC not have an Area Defense mode thing? Alr SubPAC lvl 3 there

[halcyon radish]

amethyst batteries take up more originium than there is in v4

also why are we manufacturing them just metatransfer??

[vapid dock]

oh look, I have 5m credits

[woven vessel]

Dunno, also on lv 3 there

[lofty shadow]

AIC related: so apparently you either can't have more than 20 farm plots in a farm OR can't have more than 5 of each seed planted.

[brave vapor]

the td mode felt like a hassle so i never questioned it

[crystal skiff]

u can do 6 and 12 no problem. 90 is ferrium cap and thats enough

[pulsar sphinx]

so buy these two even though i don't have good weapon to do esssnce? I tried Artificing for the character set but feel like scam and used up a lot more credit.

[old ice]

[lofty shadow]

Artificing and essence etching are both late-game ways to perfect your gear. They're intended to be expensive.

[crystal skiff]

theyre resetting stock soon so theyre a higher priority than the ones that will always be there and never reset. engraving more impactful

[old ice]

[distant cedar]

yeah idk

[pulsar sphinx]

Thank you guys

[vapid dock]

artificing isn't gated by sanity for one only bills

[old ice]

symmetric base go boom

[woven vessel]

I didn't get the meta transfer yet XD
Literally playing on 4 days old account rn

But rn Im at lv11 regional and don't hit the current originium cap, but ferrum at 1080

I live of 4.6k energy

But don't HEB guns

But instead of pouring HC battery to get guns
I can just drop there amethyst batteries
I have space
With lv12 regional I should have originium
And nothing else to do with amethyst

[fallow rover]

Oh hey I just need 3k more before I reach RDL 11

[craggy wedge]

what is the maximum yield for orignium ore in wuling?

[dull flicker]

Where do you buy the artifcing materials at, am I blind

[old ice]

battery farm

[craggy wedge]

wuling stock redistribution

[cold jacinth]

under factory goods

[dull flicker]

silly me, expecting the valley IV bills to have anything of value

[lofty shadow]

Artificing takes 3 things: The gear you plan to artifice, a piece of gear with with the stat you want to increase (preferably higher, increases odd of it working), and an artificing catalyst bought from stock redistribution.

[woven vessel]

Would need to see all bases full not a fragment

Rn I have 2x battery in hub

And in outpost I split battery production between the outposts

[distant cedar]

game won't let me zoom out anymore, it's annoying

[woven vessel]

If I optimize a bit, I should be able to even clear most of one outpost

[vapid dock]

you spend valley 4 bills on engraving tickets

[dull flicker]

Yeah Ik i just want to stock up on the catalysts for when we actually know what bis is

[woven vessel]

Just do a video

Can be one vid YouTube
Send me and I'll check when I wake up

[dull flicker]

That cant be used on Laev weapon, and probably the future chars as well cause they are all gonna be from Wuling

[woven vessel]

Can send my setup if u wanna compare

[dreamy zephyr]

how do u zoom out further?

[lofty shadow]

Engraving permits are a good buy, along with the gifts, once you've bought all the experience and promotion items. I would generally avoid the Sanity Usage Permits and tacticals though.

[vapid dock]

sanity usage permit is the most useless 'high value' thing in the game

[lofty shadow]

The only point of Sanity Usage Permits is "I have to run this a lot, and want to spend less time actually fighting." Especially since it still doubles the sanity cost.

[willow beacon]

the shit i do to avoid buying those depot upgrades, man

[halcyon radish]

it helped a lot when i was farming with weak operators

[craggy wedge]

• select a large area of buildings and move them
• get a wider monitor (21:9 or such)
• hide the toolbar with the button in the bottom left (this doesn't zoom out, but it helps)

[zenith seal]

its useful for people who can't find the time to play and have their sanity overflowing.

Its just low priority especially because of its absurd price

[vapid dock]

sanity usage perm on an essence farm great you saved 2-3 minutes, now wait for 19.2 hours for sanity to regen

[dreamy zephyr]

im dead with that 2nd part 💀

[woven vessel]

Meanwhile other games just letting u double claim for free

[mighty rivet]

it's useless cuz its just an item that locks using 2x of our energy

[willow beacon]

i know this isn't your question but those splitters are doing fuck-all for you

maxing out belt outputs does nothing when the input is a fixed limit

if the machine is producing 30/min and 1 belt moves 30/min, you don't need 3 belts

[craggy wedge]

the game is hor+, which means it does actually allow you to see more with a wider monitor

technically, forcing the game to run in a wider window would achieve the same thing, but there's not really any good way to force it to do that

[zenith seal]

depends on how much you play but yes, its worse compared to some other games that just lets you claim double rather than using an item for it.

[sand imp]

is there no stock redistribution in power plateau?

[woven vessel]

There isnt

[willow beacon]

how do i make this take less space fr

[brave vapor]

just b urself

[meager dome]

Use depots

[willow beacon]

no thanks

that shit is 1.2m

[meager dome]

Mines is maxed xD

[woven vessel]

Bus depot
Use the stash instead long ass belts to input

[willow beacon]

yo nvm i can't read actually that says 120k holy

can we please add commas to this game

yeah i'm using depots

[zenith seal]

you will have to buy the upgrades eventually

just read lol

[willow beacon]

not in the outpost

[craggy wedge]

you're comparing sanity permit to no sanity permit. if we're being realistic here, you're going to use those credits on other things anyway, and those end up being better value most of the time. you should be comparing 'credits spent on sanity permits' to 'credits spend on things that aren't sanity permits'

[willow beacon]

i maxed out core already

[little night]

I finished all missions, whats the next best way to get oroberyl?

[willow beacon]

missions suck for oro, just go find chests

[scenic comet]

FINALLLLLY! perfectly efficient wuling factory, self-sustaining

[willow beacon]

and do your journal nodes

[zenith seal]

yeeeeep, is it useless? No

Is it worth buying it over other things? Also no.

maybe in the future if I somehow have way too much bills and literally nothing else to buy lol

[willow beacon]

so compact

[craggy wedge]

in my opinion, not being worth buying over other things, is "useless". if we're being pedantic, it does have a use, so it's not useless, but that's getting into a linguistic argument

[scenic comet]

i have only 10 power to spare, but at least i'm producing batteries, syringe ANd components

[zenith seal]

at least your PAC does something, mine sits in a corner with no I/O

[scenic comet]

lol.. this is my wuling outpost, it uses 0 depots https://discord.com/channels/950244160684834837/1466394005783969883

[vestal moat]

farming essences with turret

[scenic comet]

it was a headache to create

[vestal moat]

the industrial power indeed

[brave vapor]

my pac has only 1 mission and that is sit in a corner and take all the finished products

[undone swallow]

hello there, a question regarding protocal stashes, do they cause any setbacks in usage rate?

[zenith seal]

It just feels too early to make an accurate judgement as there's too many things to spend on atm.

[nocturne marsh]

The devs: makes the factory building in depth and enjoyable to thinker with

The players:

[shrewd sigil]

is there just one outpost area?

[scenic comet]

they use power, and you can overload them but it takes a lot of input to do so

[brave vapor]

instructions unclear, can i get another 10 tutorial please

[nocturne marsh]

REAL

[halcyon radish]

yes but also the tutorial is also horrible

[undone swallow]

my main concern with it is if it will cause any setbacks using it as a pocket loader. since it does take some time before it gets to the depot

[craggy wedge]

I feel like there's a solid half of the playerbase that's just autistic factory game players that've already done everything in half a dozen other games already, so endfield is just kinda way too easy

[brave vapor]

its horrible because clearly theres not enough to guidee me to my next 10 roll

[nocturne marsh]

Tutorial is fine

But if ur going to "LetsGameItOut" for a tutorial then..

[halcyon radish]

like toburou's latest video compared the factorio tutorial to the endfield tutorial

[scenic comet]

nah, it even outs over time, but you will get oscilating inputs

[crimson inlet]

makin a graphic for my guide

[halcyon radish]

endfield tutorial is comically long and an absolute slog

[robust kelp]

it doesnt unless you somehow can make the stash full than it can deliver

[willow beacon]

endfield factory is super easy yeah
<- 300 hours in factorio and 500 in satisfactory

[scarlet cipher]

Awwwww.... yeaaaahhhh....

[simple fractal]

engineers and factorio players having a field day

[heady tide]

keybind is pressing escape 50 times before capslock to get out of topview

[willow beacon]

developers please implement higher throughput conveyor lines

give us manifold

[brave vapor]

honestly you dont even need to finish factorio to get why this is much easier

[craggy wedge]

its like bringing a lead pipe to a pillow fight, I kinda love it

[halcyon radish]

it is also the dev's responsibility to create an effective tutorial, which they definitely could have done better on

[static isle]

Damn
Watching the non-mentally ill Endfield streamers do base is honestly exasperating

[woven vessel]

I made battery + gold gear
No depot's
No area expansions

[robust kelp]

with every region have different stuff it would be like satisfactory ^ 2

[craggy wedge]

if you want a tutorial, go play factorio for 200 hours, that'll do it

[nocturne marsh]

Here is a tutorial on how to play factory games with LetsGameItOut

[zenith seal]

its a live service game first and foremost especially to milk its gacha content.

The facilities we have are literally labelled "Basic" and its not even completed in wuling yet lol

[willow beacon]

factorio tutorial is so fucking funny bro

[crimson inlet]

My wuling ahh stats rn

[halcyon radish]

endfield in 2 years please make it hpapen 🤞🤞

[undone swallow]

all are sub pac post thje same size?

[willow beacon]

you go from "manually craft 12 iron plate :D" to "fully automate iron materials and fossil fuel use" with literally 0 transition

[undone swallow]

thanks

[willow beacon]

W game

worst tutorial known to man though

[brave vapor]

still better than endfield

[scarlet cipher]

I'm SO CLOSE to hitting maintenance mode in this game. Some more chests and glowly balls, and some more extraction mode, and then it's just gacha as usual.

[upper hazel]

Power Plateau Power Plant that also produces the sandleaf it needs

[lucid relic]

Is kyo's valley vi base guide ok?

[nocturne marsh]

The tarkov tutorial:

[scarlet cipher]

It's pretty good, yeah.

[woven vessel]

Fun game
Ass gacha
But like
Everybody forgets this game is gacha Lowkey

[zenith seal]

I refuse to do endfield's tutorial, its such a pain even if I get why its there

[static isle]

I've never played Factorio or Satisfaction and even I figured out base in like 3-4 hours

[scarlet cipher]

Very hand-holdy though, if you like that.

[halcyon radish]

i mean all games run out of content eventually

[willow beacon]

i was talking about factorio but yeah endfield tutorial is not very good either

[trail mirage]

did i mainmaxed too hard? this is just the sub aics

[brave vapor]

i'll get those 20 oro...tomorrow(never)

[nocturne marsh]

Every character is strong thats kinda the thing
You dont need 6 stars to play the game

[scarlet cipher]

Yep, I don't even mind. I enjoy maintenance mode too, and have put... I don't even know how many hours into this game and loved every minute.

[willow beacon]

your goal is 18/18

[woven vessel]

I mean the tutorials are just annoying shit that treats u like retard

[willow beacon]

i'm shocked that word isn't automodded

[bleak copper]

lol

[trail mirage]

just need 6 more battery with the whole main aic 😭

[crimson inlet]

its cool how you can still do basic gacha if you focused on factory (basic permits are sold at stock redistribution)

[vapid dock]

probably also one of the must buys with any creds lying around

[zenith seal]

I think its more because that there's no endgame content for combat yet.

I just pray there isn't the usual monthly tower of shit to clear like in other gachas

[brave vapor]

i'm more shocked that you think that word is a slur

[woven vessel]

Bc were in 1.0
Like literally go to any gacha 1.0 and u can clear no issues without top rarity characters

[craggy wedge]

yeah it's honestly not that hard, but you should go play both of those games

[willow beacon]

it's not about what i think it is man

it's automodded in literally every server

[halcyon radish]

they already had one in the beta

[willow beacon]

do i look like a mod to you 😭

[zenith seal]

.......darn it.....

[halcyon radish]

but hopefully hypergrpyh keeps their arknights powercreep philosophy

[brave vapor]

i'm glad i'm not in those servers then

[static isle]

yeah I think EF might be my gateway drug

[woven vessel]

Well well well

I have good news for u

It's gonna be a kill mob with a timer attached for all we know

[nocturne marsh]

I came from limbus so im used to f2p shit 😭

[willow beacon]

please start with satisfactory

[zenith seal]

I guess it isn't in launch due to our extremely slow progression

[willow beacon]

factorio tutorial is genuinely comical

[vestal moat]

must buy :

1. essence ticket
2. engraving gear
3. those crate

1 and 2 are prioritized over 3

[undone swallow]

would it be better to ask AIC questions here or go back to help? I've been asking here because the help channel is a bit too flooded with character building or something along those lines

[crimson inlet]

Lowlight! GIVE US MORE USE OF THE AGRICULTURAL TEST SITE AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

[willow beacon]

aic questions can go here yeah

[crimson inlet]

The ASIAN MAN within me wants to farm the rice fields with AUTOMATION

[undone swallow]

thanks

[zenith seal]

Just ask away, this is more like general chat but factory focused

[halcyon radish]

didn't realize this channel doesn't actually have the word help in it lol

[lofty shadow]

Arknights is clearable with only 3 & 4 star operators, sometimes 5 stars, but it takes a good bit of thinking, skill, and timing.

[woven vessel]

Hypergriff didn't keep their f2p philosophy nor stat dump dupes philosophy

What makes u think hypergreed will keep the power reel philosophy atp

[vapid dock]

engraving gear I assume artificing is only in wuling it doesnt exist in v4, the crate doesnt exist in wuling yet either

[magic hull]

Wuling only has 1 depot 1 stock?

[brave vapor]

throwing someone completely new to factory games head first into factorio is how you get an addict

[vestal moat]

but for essence does

which take much more prioritize

[woven vessel]

Ik, but endfield is not the og arknights

[vestal moat]

rather than the box

[craggy wedge]

I feel like u could map individual factory games onto the autism spectrum, with stuff like satisfactory at one end, and ae2/gregtech at the other

[zenith seal]

I didn't realize what this channel was about till someone I was talking to in general chat referred me here lol

[static isle]

what do yall think of my preemptive syringe build

[vocal monolith]

How much ferrium a minute is there in Wuling?

[static isle]

90 max

[halcyon radish]

because there's no proof of it yet so why would i already assume the worst

[willow beacon]

gregtech 😍

[vocal monolith]

Atrocious

[willow beacon]

it's a super slow start but once greg gets going, it really gets going

[vocal monolith]

Importing time

[lofty shadow]

Eh, unless they change things heavily, the game is technically clearable solo with a lvl 1 4 star operator. It'll just take you 5 hours to kill a boss.

[zenith seal]

tidy as hell, nice symmetry

[vocal monolith]

Open up the mines
I yearn for more ferrium

[vestal moat]

its TECHNICALY factory chat

but since NO SLOWMODE

well topic change fluctuatively

[hard kayak]

You have to connect the shredder to the mixer using 2 lines

[woven vessel]

So far everything went the worst way Lowkey
(Expect graphics/optimization)

Chances are the power creep will hit hard

[vestal moat]

[still garden]

medal trims already exist, so you need a meta team

[halcyon radish]

the solution to power creep in endfiled is LANCET-2 PLEASE COME TO ENFIELD

[static isle]

that's why it's preemptive
this is half activation
the line is set up for full activation later

[vestal moat]

we need more powercreep

[halcyon radish]

lancet 3 will feed endmillions

[steel narwhal]

does anyone have a list of all mining locations i can put an electric mining rig ?

[undone swallow]

is there any reason to be making cryston bottles? I'm having a hard time justifying it looking at just the database chains

[halcyon radish]

interactive map

[woven vessel]

Well, the timer to get clear rewards for endgame is 5 or 10 minutes iirc ?

[vestal moat]

map exist

bruh

[vocal monolith]

There’s a site with an interactive map

[steel narwhal]

thanks guys

[craggy wedge]

my solution to power creep

[still garden]

why even do that when the game tells you the location of all of them

[brave vapor]

i cant play the game with subway surfer in the background if i dont get big numbers from a single character

[halcyon radish]

need endmin to drop originium meteor like zhongli

it's called crush let's actually crush something

[lofty shadow]

Yep, it even tells you about ones you can't reach yet because they're in areas locked behind side quests.

[woven vessel]

This is just farming lolz
There will be no tower in tower

[zenith seal]

cryston bottles?

I don't think anyone ever makes that, it has no use as far as I know

[halcyon radish]

pac mode in tower called that fieldnite

[craggy wedge]

yeah I figure that, but I'm just gonna ignore pretty much everything I can't cheese with towers

[willow beacon]

this game is guaranteed to have powercreep but honestly i don't know if i actually care that much about that

[undone swallow]

will it have some purpose in the second region maybe?

[steel narwhal]

doesn't it only show the ores? how do i know if i can place an electric mining rig on it ?

[willow beacon]

there are new units every 2 weeks, that shit is gonna stack up fast

[undone swallow]

since it seems to normalize using bottles going into the new zone

[lofty shadow]

If it shows up on the map, it has mining nodes.

[steel narwhal]

thank you

[woven vessel]

I'm just sad that pull economy is so ass

(Need to gamba)

But with the pricess so high I don't think I'll be spending

[shrewd knoll]

you click the node and it tells you if you already have a rig on it

[vocal monolith]

The fog:

[steel narwhal]

i mean i am trying to find those locations that i don't have a rig on

[willow beacon]

$1 grand vision is the only good deal in the game fr

[still garden]

which means more reruns... surely it offsets the 50 pulls per patch

[zenith seal]

second region uses different material.

In fact cryston in general drops off in use entirely other than making parts for more zipline towers

[shrewd knoll]

it will list all the nodes in that spot

[vocal monolith]

Click on the patch

[steel narwhal]

thanks guysss

[willow beacon]

we don't know if the 120 comes back for reruns or if it resets

[lofty shadow]

As mentioned: if you click the icon on the map, it'll give you a breakdown of purity and electric miner presence.

[small totem]

no way to automate this right? i've to just come back every 4 hrs and collect it

[willow beacon]

if it resets it's gg

[still garden]

oh no

[vocal monolith]

What’s the point of rare plants

[still garden]

if guarantee for reruns is 240 instead of 120 its over

[zenith seal]

pretty much, just throw a zipline tower and easy stash for convenience

[woven vessel]

No way to automate
Bo reason to interact with it tho, as well

[versed valve]

Can someone help me figure out why the grinding unit is getting slightly more sandleaf powder than carbon powder, it like every cycle gets like 1 extra sandleaf powder so in like 5 minutes it would probably clog

[lofty shadow]

You can backpack craft even better tacticals than what your factory can produce.

[rigid oar]

is there a point in constantly producing explosives?

i want to make space for the blue batteries

[lofty shadow]

Is there a point in NOT constantly producing explosives?

[vocal monolith]

I have 1k and that’s enough for a lifetime

[still garden]

i dont think youll ever need more than 1k?

[vocal monolith]

Waste of electricity

[shrewd knoll]

you burn 3 sandleaf powder for 2 carbon

[rigid oar]

i got 10k so ill just stop producing them

[willow beacon]

waste of space, resources, and electricity

[lofty shadow]

. . . I don't get it.

Must . . . channel . . . inner . . . Megumin . . .

[static isle]

1 sandleaf = 3 sandleaf powder

[willow beacon]

oh ok we weebing out ig

[small totem]

i just want to make as much farm as possible, Maybe some Food farm too
I'm bored and tired of the min maxing the "Meta farms", so trying other farms

[vocal monolith]

What else is Aketinw even use for

[zenith seal]

I have a surplus of 27k explosives lying around with nothing to do

[vapid dock]

I use it to fill delivery crates

[woven vessel]

Why don't u just process tree -> carbon --> 2x carbon powder
Literally swap refine and carbon places

[vocal monolith]

I mean, wth sure

[brave vapor]

pop rocks that i eat

[woven vessel]

EXPLOSIONS

[willow beacon]

omg the compensation lootboxes 😍

i love these things

[versed valve]

Yeah but if I designed it right shouldn't the top shredding unit that makes the carbon powder be getting half of the total sandleaf while the lower one only has a 3rd of its output go to the grinding unit

[vocal monolith]

OH NO I FORGOT TO CHECK STOCK PRICES

[woven vessel]

What is the target usage on HC batteries?
6 cool or should I aim lower (3 or less thermal banks)

[jade hare]

whats a quick way to increase my wuling regional development?

[shrewd knoll]

no, the throughput of the top is one lane

[willow beacon]

whatever you need to sustain factory+ziplines and such

6 is usually fine

[woven vessel]

Upgrade depot
Put drills
Etc.

[old ice]

Symmetric factory that makes a metric ton of steel parts

[sudden crow]

What if i use 9 lol

[high yarrow]

anyone have a starter wuling blueprint with no updrages on wuling that can help get armor too in na?

[versed valve]

Does that change something?

[willow beacon]

i wonder if people actually use depot loaders

[dry igloo]

Holy wall of text

thanks for sharing

[zenith seal]

blue batt spam?

[willow beacon]

as long as you're actually using all 9 and not just having excess power for no reason, it's fine

[woven vessel]

4.5 k energy

But got so much space that I might just drop in some amethyst batteries if I get enough orignium (don't remember what is yield on12, on 11 rn)

[old ice]

purple batt spam

[lofty shadow]

They would . . . if unloading wasn't a primary bottleneck.

[woven vessel]

U can have 2 full speed outputs of carbon

[versed valve]

I don't understand what you mean by this

[sudden crow]

Lol, cuz i run 2 battery and 3 buck A. I figured i havent optimise yet

[small totem]

Sorry man, i'm worse in terms of making farms as small as possible, and it's also the same with me explaining something

[brave vapor]

most setups are compact enough that running a belt to your aic is easier and more convenient then the depot loader

[lofty shadow]

Or to a protocol stash.

[woven vessel]

Not 3 battery?

[woven vessel]

What about stash thing

[zenith seal]

depot loaders might be useful in wuling in the future thanks to the modular depot bus

[sudden crow]

So far, no.

[mighty rivet]

this

[versed valve]

Is that not what it should be since that means 1 sandleaf every 4 seconds for 3 sandleaf powder every 4 seconds for 2 carbon powder every 2 seconds, while the other one gets 1 sandleaf every 4 seconds, which is split to make 3 sandleaf powder every 4 seconds, which then has 1/3 go to grinding unit for 1 sandleaf powder every 4 seconds to match the carbon powder

[willow beacon]

i haven't touched wuling yet

you're speaking of witchcraft

[shrewd knoll]

right but you also have to include that you are processing 3 items into 2 items

[open shore]

can you bottle water in wuling and then transfer it to valley IV eco-farm for sprinklers?

[shrewd knoll]

so 6 seconds input, 4 seconds output

[lofty shadow]

Huh, I think I'm going to try this.

[zenith seal]

well summary of wuling situation rn is....we got way more space than we know what to do with.

endgame wuling resources isn't much different from just starting out lmao

[versed valve]

And the bottom shredding unit doesn't have that issue

[brave vapor]

stashes cost energy(5), and for belts that cant exit but has a free 3x3 space in it

[versed valve]

So if I swap the refining and shredding unit for the carbon powder it should work by having the right input and output speed correct

[shrewd knoll]

no you just remove the shredder and dump it directly into the refinery

[low obsidian]

I accidentally skipped it when i try to read

[woven vessel]

Tbh I didn't much optimize energy even yet (too lazy tho) :3

[shrewd knoll]

just swap the process

[versed valve]

Yeah but then I need to shred the carbon it produces

[woven vessel]

What is the max orignium yield

[willow beacon]

560

[shrewd knoll]

so swap that shredder and refinery

[shrewd knoll]

it leads to the same result but better throughput

[willow beacon]

max yield is
1080 ferrium
560 originium
240 amethyst

[brave vapor]

i just see cost energy vs no cost energy

[zenith seal]

tldr; you can now access storage and change region directly from ship for faster transfers.

[willow beacon]

space with no purpose? it's time for plantmaxxing

produce comical amounts of sandleaf

[woven vessel]

I see having space in depot vs not having

[zenith seal]

include storage space. its maxed out at 48k. There's literally nothing to do here lol

[trail mirage]

why 😭

[willow beacon]

ummm

tartpepper seed production? idk

[wooden river]

is this a good purple batt setup

[zenith seal]

nah fam, we going stardew valley and doing manual farming for this one

[thorn garnet]

so little planting for that much space

i want to hav e arice empire

[small totem]

the things i've to do for Crop farming

[woven vessel]

Seems mid for main base

[willow beacon]

good to start but doesn't scale very well

you're wasting depot space

[open shore]

nope

[static isle]

optimal bomb fac is 11 lines right?
10 amethyst to 1 aketine?

[zenith seal]

modern rice farm be like

[wooden river]

this is in the 2nd outpost

[wooden river]

how so?

[static isle]

(inb4 why are you being autistic about bombs)

[versed valve]

@shrewd knoll @woven vessel Thanks yall it is working correctly now

[willow beacon]

blocking a slot here

[full tundra]

Do I get ferrium ore in wuling

[willow beacon]

-1 depot

[woven vessel]

Looks fine then I guess

[willow beacon]

you'd rather have a long factory than a wide one

[brave vapor]

yes, a whole 90/min maxed out for now

[willow beacon]

stay only as wide as your depots are, extend vertically however much you want

[static isle]

a bit diff in Wuling because you can have depots in the middle and extend out to both sides

[willow beacon]

this is not wuling

[wooden river]

I'll prolly rework it soon then this was kinda an emergency build since I ran out of batts lol thx

[static isle]

but yes in V4 you want to extend vertically

[rain schooner]

bruh this is actually absurd.....it takes so much room just to make 1 battery a minute....like ffs man....

[zenith seal]

thats why you do space optimizations

[willow beacon]

only real example of this i have is cryston parts but notice how none of the machines ever go wider than the depots are

the rest of my productions are kinda square-ish

[wooden river]

can you show me yours so I can have a reference pls?

[willow beacon]

HC batts?

sure one sec

[rain schooner]

you can only do so much. I tried to get them as close together as possible.....I still need to unlock 1 more base room lvl tho so maybe thatll help but idk

[brave vapor]

and yet at the same time if you optimize space as much as possible in the late game your only using 2/3rd of the space provided

[halcyon radish]

when you max out everything you'll have like 50% open space at 18/18

[rain schooner]

when you guys make your batteries....are you including the self looping plants too?

[willow beacon]

maybe one day i'll figure out how to hide UI

[rain schooner]

or you pull the plants from a depot?

[willow beacon]

mine are self-made

[dry igloo]

It's ok, that's pretty clear mate

[willow beacon]

probably better to depot for productionmaxxing though

for outpost trading

[fallow rover]

Ok soo now I have all the ore veins being mined I had 4 in the power plateau I just gained access to

[halcyon radish]

self loop are by themselves

[wooden river]

very interesting I'll try that later thx

[halcyon radish]

depot output flowers

[brave vapor]

include, its fun and interesting to find ways fit those giant things into a production line

[rain schooner]

"fun"....right

[willow beacon]

blueprint is EFO014o5I709Ou3aE71A if you want it

[halcyon radish]

not factorypilled smh

[wooden river]

first time I might actually use a blueprint lol Im too tired for ts

[static isle]

I prefer to just do all my plants in self-contained units

and then output them from depots

[brave vapor]

best way i can explain my mental stability is im playing endfield because its a game, not a gacha

[wooden river]

oh nvm its diff region

[willow beacon]

oh yeah it's NA sorry

[wooden river]

its fine I can still use the pic as a ref

[static isle]

sometimes you get forced into spaghetti though

like this

[rain schooner]

hell nah and proud to not be lol

[wooden river]

Im assuming you have the ferrite refiner to the side right?

[willow beacon]

nothing to the side

that's the whole factory

ferrium refinery is included in the pic

[wooden river]

oh I didnt notice mb

[low obsidian]

Uhh i think that's unlocked before met transfer

[bleak copper]

nice factory

[low obsidian]

Cuz i did that yesterday before unlocking meta transfer thing

[hard kayak]

Moving the gearing unit to the top and switching the input of the refinery right below can make it neater

[stone elm]

better start lc battery or Yazhen syrge?

[silent violet]

we did it, 12 hc batt + 18 buck cap a just in the pac

[low obsidian]

3 hour production is it good?

[modest bluff]

This is The Endfield

[halcyon radish]

missing out on peak

[rain schooner]

im really not.....

[brave vapor]

both gave very low raw material input, so either works to trade them, battery gets 60 xiranite a min while syringes are 90 ferrium at max

[rain schooner]

but you do you

[halcyon radish]

which part of the game are you into then

[fallow rover]

I'm finally getting 560 orginium ore per minute 🥲

[willow beacon]

do any outposts trade cryston parts

i have 20k rn and their only use is ziplines so i'm thinking of just tearing it down

[rain schooner]

the good part....the story and combat

[fallow rover]

Same

The factory is just a side thing

[willow beacon]

the good part is the factory

story and combat kinda midsauce

[low obsidian]

Yazhen

[somber thorn]

welp my credits capped for the day is 21000 wuling batteries enough?

[halcyon radish]

you do you

[old ice]

It's so interesting to see how the playerbase is like 50/50 on factory vs combat

[halcyon radish]

pursue happiness whatever form it may take

[fallow rover]

The funny thing

[lucid relic]

best sites for blueprints?

[fallow rover]

I still have 2 other games that's free which are supposedly coming out this year on PS

[halcyon radish]

maybe the channel under this one that says #1461542035617091681

[brave vapor]

i jumped in because i judt got out of a factory game, and i wanted to develop another industrial revolution

[lucid relic]

sites are more convinient

[fallow rover]

But anyway

Thoughts on Area Defense

[vocal monolith]

Made a zip line array from the depot to delivery spot

[halcyon radish]

it's one channel down that sounds pretty convenient

[brave vapor]

i spam tesla and see if it works

[hard kayak]

The slowness of the poison tower op

[lucid relic]

why are you agitating this instead of answering the question?
even passing by is better

[woven vessel]

Why the round way instead of straight line

[vocal monolith]

Placement so good it already got likes after a minute

[halcyon radish]

what am i agitating all the factory guys are in #1461542035617091681

[shrewd knoll]

you know the sluice gate at the city is a perfect 110m for a zipline straight through the city center

[vocal monolith]

Godamn ur right

[devout heron]

what do yall think of https://discord.com/channels/950244160684834837/1466043358509273349 i dont really know what blueprint to use

[halcyon radish]

these guys are optimizing every single tile of space they doing it purely for love of the game

hard to find those on other websites

[brave vapor]

just b urself, if you dont trust yourself then just trust random people on the internet

[halcyon radish]

i can't be bothered but i respect the grind

[old ice]

fr tho what else is there to do once you've cleared all the content and leveled your ops

Factory grind never ends

[halcyon radish]

factory aesthetics

[brave vapor]

the factory must grow

[crimson inlet]

I've successfully replaced my Buck Capsule (B) tactical to Yazhen Syrince (C)

[brave vapor]

only the strong can survive the industrial revolution

[fallen gorge]

satisfactory

[crimson inlet]

since it gives 320 health per sec for 6 sec

[willow beacon]

wtf do i do w amethyst

just realized i even had this

[halcyon radish]

80k amethyst parts

[crude hill]

Does anyone have a good Blueprint for Ferrium Comps?

[late zodiac]

okay awesome each of the limited operators has all three traits for one of the valley IV outposts. I was wondering

[halcyon radish]

just in case you need a million depot unloaders

[crimson inlet]

making medicine

[brave vapor]

the first outpost trades amethyst parts, else i got nothing

[halcyon radish]

#1461542035617091681

[willow beacon]

that doesn't need amethyst

[crude hill]

Ty

[static isle]

turns out I can unjank it

[late zodiac]

laev staffs the refugee camp, yvonne staffs the infra-station, and gilberta staffs the reconstruction HQ

[willow beacon]

am i fr just amethyst partmaxxing

[crimson inlet]

Make a Buck capsule B chain with the amethyst bottles excess to produce Buckpill [S]

[left crag]

IM DONE

[brave vapor]

it really is useless once you get to the end of valley

[stone elm]

why

[crimson inlet]

Buckpill [S] uses Buckfire plant

gives 20% of max health instant + 655 health

[trail mirage]

not compacked enough

[devout heron]

is there a tool for aic on the web since i dont play on pc

[rough stream]

is purple battery or Buck A better for selling?

or same?

[halcyon radish]

both

[trail mirage]

battery cost more ores

[brave vapor]

one powers your factory, one makes conbat a breeze, so both

[crimson inlet]

One HC Battery production for powering all in Valley IV with excess for selling, buck capsule (a) for selling

[undone swallow]

any tips to jump starting the factory if you accidentally crash your main source of battery generation?

[willow beacon]

i guess bro

[trail mirage]

save everything on blueprint and delete

[willow beacon]

stupid ore

[crimson inlet]

Ze wuling strat

[brave vapor]

its really funny learning that the quarry used to give you originum in the beta instead of amethyst

[gloomy geyser]

anyone have asia sub pac blueprints? cant find any in #1461542035617091681

[left crag]

https://tenor.com/view/haters-gonna-hate-gif-20132107

[willow beacon]

worlds most useless quarry on god

[gentle sun]

[willow beacon]

what are they doing all that mining for? amethyst?

[vapid dock]

https://tenor.com/view/south-park-gif-10102677

[odd spoke]

you can setup tower defense when farming for essences...

[crimson inlet]

I used less space than imaginable for consistent throughput

[halcyon radish]

when the mining area has one (1) vein of the useless ore

#worldbuilding

[glossy wolf]

anyone got a good blueprint for yazhen syringe that doesn't require manually shipping ferrium to Wuling?

[trail mirage]

i make 1 more battery setup ye?

[halcyon radish]

would not be max efficiency

just take a normal bp and take out one depot unloader

[gloomy abyss]

So I have no idea where to start with aic crafting. I think what I want to work on now is the stock bills. But I have no idea where to start. There are a lot of videos how do I know which is best?

[glossy wolf]

ty!

[gloomy geyser]

fanyone have asia sub pac blueprints? cant find any in #1461542035617091681

[halcyon radish]

craft what the trade outposts want. craft batteries to power your pac. ideally doing all of these on your own will be more satisfying

[shrewd umbra]

hey yall is it even possible to overload the outpost gain in wuling

[brave vapor]

how i started was seeing what the outposts want along with what i need to comfortably make machines and start there, personally gears other than weapons didnt matter other than the missions

[halcyon radish]

the pac is your oyster, craft whatever you need

[gloomy abyss]

I uh. I’ll keep looking on YouTube I guess. Thanks

[brave vapor]

what if i need another dupe for surtr

[halcyon radish]

man it's really hard to convince people to not take the easy way out huh

[gloomy geyser]

anyone have asia sub pac blueprints? cant find any in #1461542035617091681

[halcyon radish]

that's coming in the sixth region my grandma works in hypergryph

[brave vapor]

we have to accept that people are here because the anime girls look stunning and not the factory

[ancient rock]

the factory must grow

[shrewd umbra]

no wait you just have to overproduce the shit out of batteries

[shrewd knoll]

they are clearly here for the grinder and not the waifu

[halcyon radish]

[zenith seal]

thus the bad reviews on the game

[fierce hill]

anyone got a blueprint for the infrastation

[halcyon radish]

the what?

[fierce hill]

isnt that what its called the infra station or am i tripping

[odd spoke]

🗿

[low obsidian]

Lower area needed and fast production

[zenith seal]

Just copy paste from #1461542035617091681

[crimson inlet]

the sub-pac at infra station?

[fierce hill]

yeah

[trail mirage]

am i suppose to use this much ores?

[fierce hill]

i didnt know that was a channel ty

[odd spoke]

ferrium is max 1080, smthngs off

[trail mirage]

i think i made too many builds

but like i still got mad area...

[crimson inlet]

You would not use excess ores, it will make your production slower

[zenith seal]

No ur missing ferrium nodes or not enough region level

[crimson inlet]

get better at managing nats and mats

[odd spoke]

there should be enough for 18 batteries and 18 buck capsule A if you're looking to optimize, you're missing a bit

[halcyon radish]

oh sorry lol i didn't know the wuling main pac was called that

yeah #1461542035617091681

[trail mirage]

i cramped my sub aic like crazy

[halcyon radish]

what are you crafting other than pack and battery

why's your ferrium more than 1080

[trail mirage]

thats all im making

xd

[halcyon radish]

hmm

[halcyon radish]

then somewhere in your factory you can turn off one ferrium depot unloader

[odd spoke]

ignore my amethyst, its wrong

[fallow rover]

I had to turn off most of my factories because it was consuming all my originium

[trail mirage]

do we get more ores at reg lv 12?

[gloomy geyser]

anyone have asia sub pac blueprints? cant find any in #1461542035617091681

[odd spoke]

no its level 11

[halcyon radish]

for battery
EFO017i89ao1eE5IOIAi

[halcyon radish]

for pack i don't have it on me

[zenith seal]

There's no specific bp for an outpost unless its a set.

Just copy what production u want

[halcyon radish]

actually nvm found it

pack a
EFO017i8e1aOU4559O0Ai

[gloomy geyser]

this is HC battery?

[trail mirage]

yea idk why am i using so many ores then

[halcyon radish]

put the code in and see

[pure egret]

How to set up my thermal Bank so I don't run out of energy with two Wuling battery Stations? ( & one Blue Battery)

[trail mirage]

wait i should be looking at current data right

[halcyon radish]

1200 is too much

[trail mirage]

im not using that much in current data tho

[halcyon radish]

that's cause there's a bottleneck somewhere else

[crimson inlet]

Tips: you want to use nats and produce mats by their ratio, if an HC Battery wants 10 Dense Originium and 15 Steel parts, you'll need to provide a 2:3 for consistency—2 Dense Originium can be produced with originiun powder and sandleaf powder with a ratio of 4:2.

[halcyon radish]

if real =/= theoretical that means it's not max efficiency

[zenith seal]

Current data for raw resources is usually accurate.

Your chart basically means something else is clogged in the line

[gloomy geyser]

alr thx

[trail mirage]

i dont see anything clogged tho

[hidden elm]

ts fine right?

[zenith seal]

Or something with really really slow production lol

[trail mirage]

oh nvm one of the ports to make dense powder was not connected

[halcyon radish]

using too much ferrium

[zenith seal]

If its red in current data its definitely not fine

[hidden elm]

[halcyon radish]

red colored data is never good #colortheory

[elder linden]

How do you guys handle power in Wuling while also making Components?

[hidden elm]

what should i do

[zenith seal]

...add more bank?

[devout heron]

how large is the fully upgraded main pac ?

[elder linden]

Manually inserting power?

[zenith seal]

Wait how much battery are producing? You should have more than enough batts.

Issue would be xiranite production

[wild locust]

Do i need to complete Wuling story to unlock Xiranite relays?

[eternal marlin]

can someone explain to me why my current vs theoretical data for ore yields don't match?

[zenith seal]

Yes but you can only use them on wuling

[heady sentinel]

I have tapped every single originum mine with an auto miner, and I run to every single one in a rotation, taking out 50, it unclogs, makes another 50, I bring the ore to the factory, is there a device that auto sends ore so I don't have to run around?

[halcyon radish]

bottlenecks and low efficiency

[static isle]

autominer tier 2 and above

[wild locust]

yeye ik, but dang i just unlocked PAC i gathered most of the things already XD

[pure plover]

anyon knows where am i suppose to place the 2nd planting unit

[heady sentinel]

There is?! Oh crap!!! How do I unlock it? Just play story?

[halcyon radish]

literally anywhere that works

use top view for ease of use

caps lock

[narrow solstice]

Is there not enough ferrium deposits in Wuling to make a sustainable Yazhen Syringe factory?

[halcyon radish]

yes

[narrow solstice]

goated

[zenith seal]

Its in the technology under mining.

Progress through the story so you can grab the AIC balloon thingy

[silent violet]

is this cursed enough?

[zenith seal]

I mean its sustainable just not 100% efficient

[halcyon radish]

what is the endgoal here big bro

[narrow solstice]

I probably should've said efficient yeah

[trail mirage]

nop

[heady sentinel]

I don't know what "technology under mining" is quite yet, but I have never seen an AIC balloon thingy either, so yeah, I'll just keep doing story then, thanks cute pfp

[silent violet]

12 hc batt and 18 buck a in pac only

[halcyon radish]

fuckin hell

[trail mirage]

mine look like ts 😭

[halcyon radish]

[pure plover]

how?dont i need to cut off the transport belt below to insert it

[silent violet]

im taking offers if anyone wants to remake this in na

[trail mirage]

nothings clogged so idk why my ore usage is so high

[upper hazel]

My only gripe with this design is that there is 1 unused sandleaf powder output

[halcyon radish]

can't you just copy paste that entire thing

[trail mirage]

so much unused space 😭

[pure plover]

it says only 1 seed picking unit, but 2 planting units, that would just satisfy one condition if i copy pasted it

[gloomy geyser]

is there instead of storing it, it goes into thermal bank?

[elder linden]

Yeah that 2nd part. I want to make Compnents while making batteries.

[upper hazel]

but it's in a perfect rectangle 🥰

[dry dock]

you need to triple that to have 100% sandleaf efficiency

[trail mirage]

EFFIENCY IS KEYY

[crimson inlet]

Imagine we have a skin for MC Endfielders that maxed their core AICs. Regional style skins with a hardhat.

[zenith seal]

You can cut batt production from 12 to 6 so you can keep making components.

1 bank using wuling LC is more than enough.

Even if ur somehow whacked and threw all turrets and ziplines then its just 2 out of the 6 batts needed

[wheat forum]

Or make another ferrium part line just for facility construction?

[upper hazel]

good idea

[pure plover]

soo anyone knows?

[mint osprey]

What are you guys doing with your AIC in Wuling? I've both of them maxed but they're super underutilized at the moment.

[halcyon radish]

right I didn't see the only part, just put the second planter next to the seeding

[small creek]

get absolutely fkd

[autumn portal]

just wanted to share this here

[zenith seal]

12 batts 6 syringe(less if i dont feed it ferrium)

[pure plover]

thats the thing, where??? i cant seem to put it anywhere without cutting a transport belt

[small creek]

814? damn...

[halcyon radish]

then cut a transport belt and reroute it

it's not glued to the floor

[trail mirage]

@zenith seal im fine if my current data doesnt change ye?

[halcyon radish]

alright this was unnecessary my b

[zenith seal]

Not optimal but yes

Ur still on the negatives tho lol

[trail mirage]

but 18 buck and battery

ferr ore been acc going up for the past hour

until now

not sure if 1080 is normal

[static isle]

any idea how to unyank this shit

[pure plover]

if i do that, the whole production just stops the moment i cut off the transport belt

[halcyon radish]

yeah it'll start back up when you reroute

[crimson inlet]

when you're both earning stockbills and xirenite components in wuling

[graceful lark]

Should I connect my Buckflower to a Protostash so that it wouldn't clog?

[halcyon radish]

curving that buckflower belt for love of the game

[gentle sun]

PSA for everyone that skipped the factory tutorials, you can now just mark them complete and claim the rewards

[unique osprey]

You could but generally unless youre planning to use the extra powder somewhere else it doesnt really matter if clog or not

[halcyon radish]

god bless

[formal swift]

What's the most bills/min you can get out of valley 4?

[molten quest]

is the max xiranite u can make 60/min rn?

[unique osprey]

Yes

[mint osprey]

oh my god i love you. that's incredible.

[crimson inlet]

RAHHH, THE ULTIMATE CLICKING SIM

[halcyon radish]

also your steel bottle intake is inefficient

two output should be two belts, the converger slows transfer

[zenith seal]

WAIT WHAT

[somber briar]

Once you run out of originium ore, everything will clogged

[unique osprey]

For some reason my forge of the sky tutorial isnt auto complete but thats the only exception

[lofty hedge]

just entered process 4, i hope i cna unlock power plateau depot in 1 hour

[molten quest]

what is you guys gold gear setup?

[normal dune]

hard pitied hope i can have enough pulls by the time yvonne banner ends

[molten quest]

im try to run 1 bat + gear

[trail mirage]

the thing is that im only using 538 tho

[molten quest]

but gear eating too much xiranite than i can make

[graceful lark]

So should I converge both my Steel belts to a converger?

[halcyon radish]

so relatable twin

[halcyon radish]

no just one steel belt per steel belt maker

so two total belts

[high yarrow]

i need help if anyone can i gota blueprint for an early wuling battery base but the flowers just make seeds after a buit and i have no extra flowers which i need. It gets stuck with seeds in the planting unit and it stays idle

[proud turtle]

bug no map

[elder linden]

Mine is already at 6

[unique osprey]

Turn off water in top right

[halcyon radish]

use the infinite plant blueprint from tutorial

[graceful lark]

Then that would make too much steel bottles compaed to the ground buckpowder

[unique osprey]

This actually may be wrong i dont remember which seeds you need for battery i assumed sandleaf

[halcyon radish]

then you should improve buckpowder efficiency instead of additionally bottlenecking your steel bottles

[zenith seal]

So what are you making or consuming lol

Eitherway its still just add 1 more bank if you really need more power

[trail mirage]

nvm found the problem

[halcyon radish]

two grinding for bukcpowder, two for steel bottles

[lofty hedge]

which one unlocks the depot 🥺

[buoyant cobalt]

all that space for nothing 🥀

got yvonne and last rite before hard pitying surtr, lowkey id be happy asf if i get both yvonne and gilberta even if i hard pity

[halcyon radish]

level 43 wulfgard quest

[elder linden]

I want to use another battery source so that my Xiranite isnt on red

[halcyon radish]

trick question lol

[normal dune]

cus that mean i dont gotta pull for them again

i just hope the pull economy is good enough for me to get mifu and fangyi

[somber briar]

Yeah, we need a plant based product

[normal dune]

if i dont get enough for fangyi i DIE

[lofty hedge]

what...

fuck me

i am not unlocking depot in an hour

😨

[vapid dock]

you only need to do the first

[zenith seal]

But why is it red????

1 wuling batt gives 1800 power.

What kind of factory in wuling needs over 10k power???

[vapid dock]

part

you dont need to do the whole quest

[buoyant cobalt]

time to fill it up with plant production 🔥

[vapid dock]

also good lord ive been stuck on this puzzle for longer than I would like

[lofty hedge]

1st part..

of wulfguard quest?

[vapid dock]

ye

[lofty hedge]

im authority level 36

buh

cooked

7 levels off from

[buoyant cobalt]

im authority 50 and i still dont have wuling unlocked dw

[lofty hedge]

i cant get power plateau then?

[zenith seal]

Just show your charts to make it easier for everyone

[elder linden]

I dont think you understand my problem. Max Xiranite production is like 60/min. Running both Component and Battery get it's usage to 90/min.

[static isle]

you can't make optimal bombs rn right?
it's 10 amethyst to 1 aketine and we have only 240/min which is 8 lines

[zenith seal]

How are you getting 90/m but only 6 batts??

[static isle]

you can have 12 batts but that forgoes components

one batts fac is 30/s
one comp fac is 60/s, 30/s if run halfway

[zenith seal]

Yes but he is saying he is making 6 batts 6 components and somehow still 90/m xiranite consimption

Oh

[static isle]

so at 60/s you're getting two batts fac

or one batts fac and one comp fac running half power

[vapid dock]

I mean thats just the average chart, full battery and component at half efficiency

[static isle]

he's saying if he can make say V4 HC fac batt he can get all xiranite to run at comp

[vapid dock]

you can't theres not enough ferrium

[worthy patrol]

i got Laevatain on my first 10 pull 🙏

[vapid dock]

like it can barely supply syringes/juice

[novel birch]

any1 got a blueprint for a base mostly making purple gear components

[lofty hedge]

so power plateau depot is locked to authority lvl 43?

right

[zenith seal]

i mean u could do that if you want full component production but he still wants wuling batt too.

So best bet is to just run batt 6/m and half component production

That said, its consuming 3 wuling batts per min is a bit much, is it even saturated?

[halcyon radish]

how will this affect the factory

[oblique elk]

Can you recommend well optimized factory blueprints? I had my fun with factory system (I know that many people will do it better) and now I want to focus on other stuff

[buoyant cobalt]

so is there any point of doing this

[worthy patrol]

it wont

[vapid dock]

besides you don't need to be running comp at 100% efficiency or even 50%, you're still gated by credits as each piece costs 8k

[young willow]

I am both lazy and very busy , someone link me the best wuling base we can currently make

[buoyant cobalt]

i can fit more farms incase i dont have enough flowers

[vapid dock]

if its for artificing, even less reason to have it run for more than like 25% efficiency

[halcyon radish]

#1461542035617091681

[gloomy geyser]

does anyone have the most efficient setup for main pac and sub pacs

[halcyon radish]

did you check #1461542035617091681

[static isle]

Yeah one thermal bank isnt enough

[gloomy geyser]

cant find anything i want, its all seperate and some are missing power supplies

[young willow]

Ig to look around and read yields on most posts then

[buoyant cobalt]

i have one that makes 6 bat/3 capsule A per outpost no need to build anything else

[static isle]

Most ppl are at 1.8-1.9k

[young willow]

Yup

[halcyon radish]

there is no way they're missing power supplies

[vapid dock]

you want some cursed knowledge

[halcyon radish]

and if it's all seperate just put them together

[zenith seal]

Why not ig

[static isle]

I have a full comp fac but even that is running at half capacity (haven’t plug the rest in)

[vapid dock]

you don't need to run the 2nd generator at full capacity

my power goes down to 50% and shoots back up to 100

[zenith seal]

Lmao nice loop, i like this

[buoyant cobalt]

mine is a full outpost that doesnt need you to outsource items unless you want it to make 18/18 in which thats almost possible

[vapid dock]

gotta make use of that internal battery

[gloomy geyser]

batt or CapA?

[vestal moat]

factory update when game need more forges

[buoyant cobalt]

6 bat 3 cap per outpost and use main base to outsource the bottle and med dust to get the 6/6 cap

[halcyon radish]

actually hold on did i not just give you two subpac codes

[young willow]

I just want a base that makes the absolute maximum of stuff but sadly that only seems to be easy to find for valley 4

[gloomy geyser]

self sustaining? like it has the power supply inside of it too?

[lyric kindle]

how do i use the metaphysical transfer

[buoyant cobalt]

2 BP only too

[halcyon radish]

level 12 just transfer

[gloomy geyser]

iirc you gave you the R and L cap A right

[lyric kindle]

ah i had one going i see it now

[gloomy geyser]

can i have the code plz 🥺

[unreal pendant]

Is this good enough?

[buoyant cobalt]

even with extra space too

[somber briar]

6/6 per outpost is possible, its just not enough ore to support that much production

[halcyon radish]

EFO017i8e1aOU4559O0Ai
EFO017i89ao1eE5IOIAi

? one is battery one is pack

what

[buoyant cobalt]

theres not enough space to make a loop for 1 more farm otherwise i could potentially do it

[static isle]

at level 11 region your resources are perfectly enough for 18/18 across the entire region

[buoyant cobalt]

im talking about per outpost

[gloomy geyser]

wait is this outpost or main AIC

[halcyon radish]

oh wait

am i geeked hold on

[lofty hedge]

yall think i c an unlock power plateau pac in an hour

[buoyant cobalt]

Asia or not?

[static isle]

yes and you have three outposts
so you can make 6/6 per outpost as long as your main PAC does nothing but supply those regions with mats

[buoyant cobalt]

what im saying is everything produced locally

[gloomy geyser]

asia

[halcyon radish]

both bro

did you even try the codes

[static isle]

then your main PAC is doing nothing

[buoyant cobalt]

thats the goal

[gloomy geyser]

in the main AIC, plenty of dead space ;-;

placed down 3 batts and there was a lot of deadspace in the corner

[static isle]

why would you do that
your main PAC is the one with the most space

[halcyon radish]

so you want a blueprint that 1. is complete in one code and 2. fills the entire pac?

[buoyant cobalt]

deadspace?

[plain bluff]

What's the limit on refugee camp?

[vapid dock]

oh what there's a yvonne sidequest

[buoyant cobalt]

point is if i can make 1 outpost produce everything locally i can have my main AIC empty

[gloomy geyser]

dont need it complete in 1 code, it can be in 4 parts cuz theres a limit right?
but i just need it to fill the entire pac

[zenith seal]

Depends on how compact you want it to be and how much offload into subpacs

[somber briar]

You could try to outsource the plant, since those plant eat a lot of space

[static isle]

he's trying to make all three outposts at self-sustaining 6/6 and the main PAC does zilch

[buoyant cobalt]

i mean deadspace = can put more loops

[rustic radish]

At what level do u unlock purple gear?

[halcyon radish]

not possible not enough depot space

either wait for leander to crack the code

[zenith seal]

Exactly. It looks like a fun challenge where its 100% outpost lol

Boredom does things

[halcyon radish]

or do it yourself

[trail mirage]

any ideas what i can use this for

[halcyon radish]

flowers

[buoyant cobalt]

MORE FARMS

[lone sapphire]

How much purple batteries can power thermal banks

[trail mirage]

alrdy have

[brave vapor]

when you get sandleaf,or power plateu/ final area in valley

[buoyant cobalt]

can never have enough and u can use the powder for the depot delivery

[rustic radish]

what is sandleaf

[trail mirage]

ok

[gloomy geyser]

how much does this produce btw

[buoyant cobalt]

18/18/24

[brave vapor]

if you dont know what it is, just proggress the story and theres your answer

[gloomy geyser]

this is all 3 outposts right

[buoyant cobalt]

if you build in Main Pac too

[gloomy geyser]

can i have the code mate 🥺

[halcyon radish]

wait this is 18/18/24 main pac only?

[buoyant cobalt]

6 battery 3 capsule and 30 dust of sandleaf that you can turn into any dense cube if you want

[lone sapphire]

Chat, is it more efficient to make farms for example:

Farm to refined Ferrium so in an unloader let's just say. You don't need to use the raw ore but instead just use the refined one that is being produced already

[buoyant cobalt]

no

[buoyant current]

At what point in the game should I very seriously start building up my AIC factory cause I didn’t realize there was a chapter 2 released

[halcyon radish]

oh

[buoyant cobalt]

i never tried building in main pac lmao

[zenith seal]

Whenever.

Nothing much in chapter 2 as its only the prologue

[brave vapor]

1 line from raw ore> what you want is always better space wise

[buoyant cobalt]

that much space makes me slack on compacting

[buoyant current]

Ah ok thank you any advice for how to get started on making an optimized factory? Right now all my stuff is a mess

[gloomy geyser]

lowkey has anyone tried using AI

[brave vapor]

if you want to learn, just b urself with trial and error, else use a blueprint

[vapid dock]

With the new Arknights Endfield Update, you can now just press the "Content Mastered" button in the AIC simulation tutorials, and auto complete all of them, instantly receiving the rewards.

Thank god I didn't do a single tutorial until today :)

#1465875341577818143 message

[halcyon radish]

bro said ai for factory i'm done w this

[lone sapphire]

Can i get an example

[low obsidian]

LET'S GOO

[lone sapphire]

If you got any pictures or anything

[low obsidian]

Cuz i mastered them without any training

[halcyon radish]

we're losing drinking water cause this guy can't make a factory blueprint

[buoyant cobalt]

@gloomy geyser if you want a 18/18/24 i can give you my current set up

[zenith seal]

Depends on how far you are really.

Progress through story first. Copy blueprints according to what item you need and you're set for most of the game.

At least have your factory make basic things to sell for regional development. Slowly phase old stuff out as you progress.

Factory optimization can come in later.

[brave vapor]

@ grok is this true also play me ai generated family guy funny moments

[buoyant cobalt]

ive been doing factory since lvl 34 and now im lvl 50 and still havent unlocked wulung

[wind jacinth]

Any blueprints for xinirite batts? Or Buck Cap [A]

[halcyon radish]

hey chatgpt make me a gacha game where i don't have to do any work and can just look at bright colors and goon

[zenith seal]

There's that option but rip wuling bucks

[buoyant cobalt]

so true

[inland spruce]

im trying to place a blueprint down, but im getting a notif saying "facility and logistics limit exceeded. remove some and try again", im not exactly getting whats causing the problem, since i thought the only limited facility was the forges in wuling, but this is for valley sub pac

[brisk jetty]

Just checked the changes from the maintenance. Literal godsend

[buoyant cobalt]

what does it do

[halcyon radish]

instaclaim tutorial rewards

[brisk jetty]

Skip simulations entirely

[buoyant cobalt]

too much facility or split/converge/bridge/filter belts

[upbeat surge]

Theres a cap to facilities in general

[inland spruce]

is there only certain ones it could be, or is there a limit to each facility

ah okay

[zenith seal]

Theres still a facility limit in every map if you somehow spam too much relays and pylons

[buoyant cobalt]

in the AIC area theres a 256 limit for facility or split/converge/bridge/filter belts

[brisk jetty]

Literal godsend that i dont have to do like 20 simulations on things i already kjow

[inland spruce]

does this contribute to the aic area facility cap, or no

[upbeat surge]

Splitters etc counting kinda pmo tho

[buoyant cobalt]

no

[buoyant cobalt]

funny thing is that you can bypass this

[inland spruce]

well then my problem is likely seed farms, lemme remove a few and test

[brave vapor]

@lone sapphire theres more but i cant be bothered to take more screenshots

[buoyant cobalt]

ive went 258/256

[upbeat surge]

Weird, do you know how

[buoyant cobalt]

and couldnt connect anything anymore

[buoyant cobalt]

cuz i achieved it

idek how i did 258 since 257 makes sense

[zenith seal]

So you somehow did it but dk how lmao

[haughty palm]

i know it lets you go over it by 1.. but 2?

[zenith seal]

Maybe cuz of moving facility?

[brisk jetty]

how do you check this

[buoyant cobalt]

the 1 is way easier and happen multiple times

[buoyant cobalt]

you cant unless you cap it afaik

[oblique kelp]

is there anything you can mine with the rigs other then originium, amethyst and iron?

[halcyon radish]

for now no

[alpine coyote]

For each tier of batteries, how many thermal banks will a single production line sustain?

[buoyant cobalt]

at 6/min it powers 4

[solid python]

10s to make, 40s to use, 4 Banks

[alpine coyote]

Wait so green, blue and purple batteries all power 4 thermal banks?

[buoyant cobalt]

yes

[buoyant current]

I’ve just about finished the first chapter but I should probably lock in a bit on regional development stuff I’m lowkey not doing enough

[halcyon radish]

is it possible to have two protocal stashes line up so that the first has to get filled before reaching the second?

[buoyant cobalt]

nvm

[alpine coyote]

So if I want to manufacture some surplus batteries, I should connect 3 to thermal banks, and 1 to the depot?

[upbeat surge]

Just turn off auto stash on them right

[halcyon radish]

yeah it auto goes to the second stash

[upbeat surge]

Oh

[rancid blaze]

does this mean I can remove some? I assume the current yield is being capped by the current usage, since its way below the theoretical yield

[inland spruce]

does regional dev level raise this cap of facilities?

[upbeat surge]

I see now

[halcyon radish]

what a dilemma

[buoyant cobalt]

no

[halcyon radish]

i need a stash's worth of wuling batteries and just sell the excess

[inland spruce]

welp

i got no clue why its maxed rn then

maybe ill just tear down all of my sub pac layouts until i can fully clean it up and organize

[buoyant cobalt]

stash worth of batteries for power?

[gentle sun]

it does

[brave vapor]

i usually just funnel batteries into the aic then output it from the aic+splitter them

[halcyon radish]

yeah

[upbeat surge]

You can splitter into two separate stashes, one off one on maybe? If you want

[zenith seal]

Wuling stock bills can't keep up with the things we have to sell too lol

[balmy stirrup]

[halcyon radish]

rn this is my setup

[haughty palm]

bro all i get are 400%

[buoyant cobalt]

something like this maybe

[haughty palm]

wtf

[zenith seal]

New record lmao

[buoyant cobalt]

once thermo bank fills up the rest gets sent to base

[edgy kindle]

HOLY

i still had 3k more LMAO

[brisk jetty]

its still not enough

for endgame

[edgy kindle]

i am endgame

its enough rn

along w batteries

[zenith seal]

Yep endgame pretty much

[edgy kindle]

😭

[brisk jetty]

max outposts with stock bill boosti g operators

?

[edgy kindle]

ya

well maybe not max

im workin on it

[brisk jetty]

must just be me needing to wait some time before i can finally go into overstock

[haughty palm]

ngl pretty much max you just missing the 18 batteries

[gentle sun]

true valley endgame is saving for your 16M bike

[brisk jetty]

since i maxed my production a little late since i went to wuling

firsy

[edgy kindle]

helllll naw

[solid python]

I just output the batteries into a Protocol Stash, output the Protocol Stash into 4 Banks with splitters, and turn off the Banks that produce excess energy. When it caps out, the Protocol Stash fills up and sends it to storage.

[zenith seal]

Im hitting overstock already though just slightly

[haughty palm]

the bike is like 1 1/2 days of earnings in late game factory lel

[gentle sun]

shiny jpeg bike

[edgy kindle]

me wasting all my wuling on gacha engraving permits
