Yeah, you don't have to depend on a single game to provide all your endless entertainment, and weekly modes isn't really entertaining

rocky niche
#

find another factory game

hollow drum
#

i wish a lot more people understood that lol

ruby sorrel
#

what's a good factory game for that

hollow drum
#

like i play 3 gachas but only 1 of them requires me to actually play it

hollow drum
hoary crag
dire vapor
#

Satisfactory, Shapez2, the OG legend Factorio with a bajillion mod options

#

Many factory style games

#

Endfield is just the first anime style one

hoary crag
#

ngl I would love for them to expand the sub-pac defense into something like ak's annihilation

hollow drum
#

endfield is factorio with cute women

hoary crag
#

and we can finally meme in endfield about having to complete weekly annihilation rewards

dire vapor
#

The cute women part is very important

hollow drum
#

agreed

hoary crag
hollow drum
#

remember Endfield wouldn't exist if Perlica didn't take care of it while Endmin was AFK

dire vapor
#

You know people want Annihilation in Endfield, but I promise you, within a year they will be begging for auto-clear features for the very same weekly mode they wanted

rocky niche
dire vapor
#

Very pointless

hollow drum
#

definitely true tbh

ruby sorrel
hoary crag
dire vapor
#

Thats why, don't ask for a weekly mode, ask for more content, sure, but don't ask for menial tasks...

hollow drum
#

i only actually use my sanity

rocky niche
hollow drum
#

every like 3 days

rocky niche
hollow drum
#

i dump like 1000 sanity on one day and just dont do it again until like, 4 more days

hoary crag
ruby sorrel
#

both either, autoclear my dailies too

dire vapor
#

I don't ask my boss for more work to do when I'm bored... don't do the same in Endfield, ask for more fun content

hollow drum
#

i wanted to say platformer mode

ruby sorrel
#

just auto farm the stuff I need to build my operators

hollow drum
#

but thats just cryptic

hoary crag
dire vapor
#

Cryptic is great because even though the puzzles are relatively simple I like how cute they are and the enviroment candy this time round is great

hollow drum
#

what i wanted was a factory game mode where you fulfill small batch orders with custom made AIC

hollow drum
#

like not the sandbox ver, you get given set amount of buildings to work with

#

etc

hollow drum
dire vapor
#

Yeah I wanted events where you need to submit 50k of a new event-limited recipe and we all have to scramble to reconfigure a temp factory line to make it

ruby sorrel
#

so basically shapez

hollow drum
#

ive never played that but it seems on brand and not really "menial"

rocky niche
ruby sorrel
#

well we do have a nice square building where we can throw everything into

dire vapor
#

For majority of players its just go find a blueprint and copy it

rocky niche
#

but then again, with creating temp factory line, they could just rely on youtube guide videos

dire vapor
#

But it would be very refreshing

ruby sorrel
#

no one wants to do math apparently

hollow drum
#

most people dont

rocky niche
#

is there housing/dorm in endfield

#

dijiang doesnt show dorms

#

they just show us where the operators work

hollow drum
#

dijang does have dorms i dont think its open tho

#

living area or smth?

rocky niche
#

and endmin's bed is just rock

dire vapor
#

Trust, the elevator will bring us to the canteen and dorms

ruby sorrel
#

yeah can we have a DPS dummy training room or sth

dire vapor
#

This will happen in version 2.0, my uncle works at Hypergryph

hidden temple
#

when resting they just chill in the lobby

rocky niche
#

dps dummy room will be good

subtle finch
#

they need to give us a crosshair for aic, its hard to select machines out in the wild

ruby sorrel
#

I wanna practice combat without a cutscene every 30 s

dire vapor
ruby sorrel
#

yeah those are useless, I was so disappointed when that's all it had

keen river
#

yeah, i was so disappointed when it just opened the tutorial menu

#

wish i could just setup an enemy and challenge it, like those tutorials do

#

bonus point if it also shown some stats at the end

hoary crag
#

ngl personally I want the cutscene to be a toggle option

#

it's the best of both world

#

those who want it gets it

#

those who doesn't don't

ruby sorrel
#

like I don't even care if it's a blank wall I'm hitting, I just need something that gets it into "combat mode" so I can just practice in peace

keen river
#

rhodang has a cutscene at 80% hp tho and it also resets everything on him 🙁

rocky niche
#

what i mean by dps dummy room is something similar to that one game stage in miliastra in genshin, because the dps dummy room will show the dmg stats of each ally in team

hoary crag
#

just remember that we're now halfway thru 1.1 and we still don't have a survey for it

wispy grove
#

I DID ITICANT 4.5/min SC battery factory😭

ruby sorrel
#

cus the alternative is like plotting out the time value of sp gain and all that crap by hand and it's ass

dire vapor
#

Why 4.5?

ruby sorrel
#

3/4 is a nice number

#

that's 1/2 belt xiranite doing other things

hoary crag
#

also ngl, I long for the day we actually get to see fiona in person

dire vapor
#

Apparently Fiona is wheelchair bound

hoary crag
#

surely she's behind that locked room in dijiang's central ring

dire vapor
#

I want to actually see her in the ops room...

wispy grove
#

i mean 1/4 for comps

dire vapor
#

Yeah, but what happened to the other 8.5 that you need so many components...

keen river
#

instead of random noise she does

dire vapor
#

What lines, you mean her crazy moaning?

#

Thats my Fiona daily ASMR don't you dare touch it

keen river
#

😄

hollow drum
#

you mean Bagpipe from OG game? or is this a diff Fiona

hoary crag
hollow drum
#

oh

#

wait yeah she has an actual face right

dire vapor
hoary crag
#

aka the one breathing on our necks during dailies

keen river
#

yeah

dire vapor
#

My ASMR specialist

hollow drum
#

ok yeah i forgot her name was also Fiona

#

LOL

ruby sorrel
#

she's voiced in main story right?

hollow drum
#

yeah iirc

hoary crag
#

yup

dire vapor
#

Yes, she is

keen river
#

im pretty sure she is also in some main story missions

#

but i dont think we ever seen her in game beyond the avatar

hollow drum
#

no we haven't

#

assume we can once more Dijiang areas get unlocked

rocky niche
#

if elevator works, maybe we'll see her

hoary crag
#

yup that's why I said I long for the day we see her ingame lol

pulsar cypress
#

Wr only see her in the comm..

wispy grove
#

i wanna ask

hoary crag
subtle finch
#

we got her instead of whitesmith

keen river
#

what if its a reverse Yvonne situation and its actually an old guy with deep voice IRL 😅

wispy grove
dire vapor
#

I also want to see Marvin, he's a 3 headed robot that writes 90% of the Operators lore files

wispy grove
#

Is this 3/4?

hollow drum
dire vapor
#

Can see why, they both have 3 Ms in their name

hollow drum
#

but then its oh ok M3 is either real Mon3tr or Kal/Mon3tr reconvener

#

thats my theory anyway

hoary crag
ruby sorrel
dire vapor
#

The funny part where Tang Tang tried to poach him to join Qingbo Stockade

subtle finch
dire vapor
#

She's still trying to poach Marvin

hoary crag
hollow drum
#

yeah exactly

#

thats why it could just still be the same Mon3tr

#

just

#

dyed her hair?

hoary crag
#

who knows?

dire vapor
#

It can be the Mon3tr after Mon3tr

#

They're effectively generational at this point

hoary crag
#

that would be mon4tr, if I'm not mistaken, kal was likely mon2tr, not to mention one of modules is named that

hoary crag
wispy grove
#

oh right i havent selected the unloaders yet

dire vapor
#

Thats just a wrongly ratio'd SC battery line

wispy grove
dire vapor
#

There's only 3 grinding units for some reason

wispy grove
dire vapor
#

Ok but surely you don't need that many components...

wispy grove
#

i only have 300 comps rnRossiCopium

dire vapor
#

You'll be making more than you even have catalysts for per week

wispy grove
#

i need artificing broRossiCopium

dire vapor
#

Whats the point...

ruby sorrel
#

idk could have a stash from 1.0

#

like I have 400 rn

hoary crag

she's so short

ruby sorrel
#

.75 isn't that high

hoary crag
dire vapor
#

When I needed large amounts of xiranite, I just turned off my one of my two lines to 50% efficiency and ran 9/min SC, I don't see why you would need to design a specific 75% efficiency one, but thats just me

wispy grove
#

dont worry i have 6/min sc battery blue print, if i dont need gears i can just swap it

ruby sorrel
#

well this way you just forget about it until the patch ends and the numbers are about right

hoary crag
#

alright question ig

ruby sorrel
#

and you can fix it along with the rebuilding for new stuff

hoary crag
#

how easy is it to swap production lines in your aics?

subtle finch
dire vapor
#

Like all I need to do is just disable one xiranite unloader

wispy grove
#

i just remove my pylons PerliFumo

subtle finch
#

you can batch select and toggle you know

keen river
# hoary crag she's so short

fun fact, the camera height adjust when you change to character based on their height, its much more noticable with Rossi because she is so short

wispy grove

remove pylons so that u dont have to consumer powah

Not “fluid mode off”

To the people who do 10.5/min sc factory. 15/min xiranite goes to the components right? it means 7.5/min goes to each compPerlithonk but not used originium will be 60/minPerlithonk that 30/min packed origocrust. if i only need 7.5/min packed origocrust for xiranite comp(15/min originium). where should i use my 45/min originium that i dont use?

small creek

im legit

3.29k/3.8k rn

but i can input 3.29-400 in dige

rocky niche

should i get the tcreds

1 thermal bank is 7.5 originium/min for 50 power

so is good to buy low price items

what

wispy grove
#

originium only last 8 secs in thermal bank?

small creek
#

yea

wispy grove
small creek
#

it has always been the case, oldest trick in the book

rocky niche
#

why use ori in thermal banks

#

you'd just exhaust your supply source

small creek
#

excess from making comp

#

making comp = less sc batt = less orig use

wispy grove
#

thats 6 thermal banks running contiuously. giving 300energyRossiCopium

rocky niche
#

i should start with 6/min sc batt and 6/min comp, then when comp full, switch comp line with 2nd sc batt line

lusty adder

is there any website/anything i can make blueprints on without booting the game?

this is what i get with 10.5 if you want use all ores
goodluck with the setup

iron stratus
#

one of my sandleaf lines somehow emptied while i was offline in v4 does anyone know why this would have happened

subtle finch
#

it should clog not empty ConcernFroge
unless you accidentally placed double loop

wispy grove
#

w8 HC battery needs sandleaf?

#

o of nvm im thinking about steel part lmao

vast iron
#

Dense ori lol aswell

hollow drum
#

hc valley is 3 dense ori and 2 steel part no

subtle finch
#

12/min sc bat uses all ori, so you can just take it from the same grinder

wispy grove
#

dont worry i already made 4.5/min factory cause i removed 1 grinder there. ill be using the same grinder for comps and battery

small creek
#

bruh my v4 depot is almost full of HC batt PerliDerp

small creek

v4 is poor af

iron stratus
small creek
#

guess im gonna transfer them all to wuling and start using them there

for even more pwm

i dont think ill go over 3400 anytime soon

from 276 batteries to 960 batteries saved per day

i plan to have this 1 v4 bank run for the entire version

does retransferring hc batteries save you 363 power of sc batteries

make sure you have the proper operators assigned to outposts, but to be fair, at some point, you dont really have anything to buy anyway

iron stratus
#

is metatransferring stabilized carbon of much value compared to other things

#

specifically for saving power

subtle finch
fervent lodge
#

backlogged

#

but otherwise, uh

#

you're only feeding 1 shredder of carbon into the grinding units

#

despite output being 60

#

double up the belts from them

#

solves fine otherwise

fervent lodge
#

then you can free up your wuling bats because of it

#

and you get a use for ferrium

iron stratus
#

i've thought of that but i dont know how to do thermal bank optimization on my own so i wouldnt know how to make that worthwhile

I barely made it possible to view shared stuff at least

#

but controls is such a huge can of worms i'm not even gonna go there for now

#

every time i start thinking at what a good mobile UX would be my head explodes

subtle finch
#

you ruined my muscle memory, i right click to drag in game now PerliWaaaaa

fervent lodge
#

LMAOOO

#

you can disable it in settings

#

I used to middle-click-drag in game too

#

and that worked

#

so that's what i did as the main means of dragging in addition to space + drag

#

then i realized that the game allows you to drag with regular click anyway OMEGALOOL

vast iron
fervent lodge
vast iron
#

well ill try later on pc and give you feedback if you want

fervent lodge
#

and i keep hitting it

fervent lodge
#

so it could work in theory if i got the priority round robin logic right

vast iron
#

well in truth i have no idea why it happens in endfield lol, so if you managed to match the way it works in game it should have the same "bugs"/interactions

#

it just happens

fervent lodge
#

so the core thing is that everything is fundamentally tick based

#

and if something is up against two ports at once, contention mechanics kick in

#

because of these contention mechanics, there's an extra tick before the building actually receives the item in its buffer

#

maybe because of that?

#

but this is some wireless shenanigan burdenshit

vast iron
#

well the thing is according to the tests i ran, the prioritized output is based on… the complexity of the belt from the beginning to the next facility

#

it picks the least "complex" path in terms of facility variety

halcyon radish
#

wuling sc needs four lines of originium cubes and one line of xircon right?

halcyon radish
#

yippee

#

man ts looks jank asf

vast iron
#

Also you dont have enough xiranite

#

wait no

#

wait yes

halcyon radish
#

120 is the max now right

#

4 forges

vast iron
#

yes

wispy grove
#

ahhh my brain is frying rnn

halcyon radish
#

sweet

vast iron
#

youre only using 60

#

xircon is a 2->1 recipe

ruby sorrel
#

it's not enough crucibles in general

vast iron
#

You need 2 xiranite and 2 effluent crucibles per xircon

oh actually nvm i see the bottleneck

fervent lodge
vast iron
#

i tried 9 and it still imploded so 10 is the minimum

subtle finch
#

about the spikes in aic report merging, i decided to do more inspection
because it was also affecting my 11/min bat, which was a solid flatline before

halcyon radish
#

god the added pipe element makes it so overstimulating to make minor changes

vast iron
#

mainly when even(equal) facility count, so just take that 1 with a grain of salt

subtle finch
#

i found that dual production gearing unit actually produces items slightly faster, this was my methodology
first i clog the gearing unit with xiranite, then i paste the same limiter to the xiranite line, in theory since there's enough buffer, it shouldnt run out, but it did

wispy grove
ruby sorrel
wispy grove
#

how to rotate facilities?

subtle finch
#

the only way to confirm is to limit the xiranite too

ruby sorrel
#

but my lines are all flat now since the xiranite is all jammed

#

yeah I limit xiranite too, but it's the only direct from depot source

fervent lodge
ruby sorrel
#

so I'm thinking that's the diff

#

the orig/parts don't touch depot ever

i'll do the help window soon

wispy grove

uh... what were they called

scenic swift
#

we have so many free ports in wuling I dont know why they don't just give you more for valley 4 so its more flexible granted there is enough to max production needing to use an optimized recipe is not very newbie friendly

subtle finch
#

i like the different building meta in valley iv, ore in the front, planters at the back

frail trail
#

free ports are probably to off set some of the optimization needed from placement

fervent lodge
#

i tried doing this for the funny
like, absolute disregard for the port availablility

#

i wish we had more depots

#

this could have been such a neat ikea shelf modular type thing

frail trail
#

a lot of U shape depot design i have been seeing 👀

subtle finch
#

1 wide output/input bus would be op

fervent lodge
#

nahhhhhhhhhh

#

i like working around the 3 cells

#

well, actually i agree

#

it would be op.

#

but not something i would want

#

i just want more depot bus

#

for my silly module collection

subtle finch
#

would be nice if their bp code is just an algorithm, so 3rd party factory sim can make them
but they tied it to player id, so it's also tied to server PerliDerp

fervent lodge
#

would you pay for such a feature

#

I've tentatively implemented BP code import from the game

#

but for export it will have to be gated in availability

#

because of only 100 slots per account

#

and converting to server format is actually quite a lot harder

restive lava
#

do pwm setups work regardless of which battery is used?

#

i copied a setup in 1.0 but that was lc batteries

fervent lodge
#

your power targets change

#

but the core principle is the same

hoary crag
fervent lodge
#

what we could have had if John Endfield wasn't stingy

hoary crag
#

if you use a more powerful battery, you'll lose out on excess power

fervent lodge
#

basically just go on DIGE and calculate the surplus for the specific battery for your specific power use

hoary crag
#

if you use a less powerful one, you risk occasional blackouts if the pwm cap goes below your power use

#

but yeah at the end of the day, you're better off recalculating on DIGE

#

and even then, while mostly accurate and can be trusted, just be sure to double check the actual power output

#

DIGE gave me a pwm with a capacity of 3.69k (I use 3.62k on my 12/min sc setup)

#

but in-game energy data (summarized over 1 day) only shows that the actual cap is 3.66k

#

learned this the hard way when I blacked out just by adding a temporary steel bottle line which put me at 3.75k

subtle finch
#

i have dozens of subscriptions right now so not likely unless it's pay per traffic
it just depends if what the sim can offer is more valuable than the alternative
so far the only obvious advantage is you can play around with designs without affecting your production in game
the calculation is really useful too since you don't need to wait for belts
but once you locked in a design that's only a matter of minutes to put it into the game
there's no merit for frequent large bp deployment yet

glacial slate
#

its around 1m 20s with 9 towers

#

dont rlly farm in v4 so it prob can be better

fervent lodge
#

it took me like 7 minutes to build out my design after staring at it for 3 hours in the planner

#

so the value add is not really there, but for power users and theorycrafters it could be useful ig

vast iron
upper fiber
#

those need to wait more complex stuff before useful

vast iron
#

but its useful for making a fresh print

#

yeah

fervent lodge
#

that said i do enjoy the flexibility a lot more

#

can select more than 50
can mirror, etc

#

that's like the entire reason i made it, because i felt very claustrophobic with the zoom level as it is in game

upper fiber
#

although i doubt HG will make something so difficult that you need to squeeze every space and power

vast iron
#

mirroring can be inconsistent since like all the water facilities are directional…

#

good for anything else tho

fervent lodge
#

yeah that's why they didn't do it in the game i assume

#

but it's still very useful in the planner because you know what will happen anyway

vast iron
#

should just let us choose what direction the water comes from…

fervent lodge
#

bleh, i like the limitations honestly

subtle finch
#

they're also too generous with the bp slots, if there's a reason to hoard many designs it would be very valuable

fervent lodge
#

it's just annoying to flip everything once you realize you were building from the wrong side

#

fuck symmetry

#

my base is just the same thing but rotated PerliFumo

upper fiber
#

seems like they fixed the server desync issue

scenic swift
#

I noticed that to need more time to see if its stable

hoary crag
#

I prefer this kind of placement rather than mirroring

#

array-like? tiled? but yeah it just feels better imo

upper fiber
#

too lazy to revert back my factory though... will just leave it be till 1.2

Just make each 1 set, then place another one another one if cap increase..

they should have made water input line on both sides of buildings or at the back you cant make anything perfectly symmetrical because of that

@subtle finch your pain is over

pushed, will update in 1 minute

in simplified endfield terms

-> periodically shut down one thermal bank to drain reserves, but will occasionally turn back on to refill it

halcyon radish
#

ah like the one where they stagger the battery usage? i'm down to try but does it involve redoing my sc production line?

halcyon radish
#

thank talos

#

yeah lay it on me

hoary crag
#

a 6/min battery line can supply two thermal banks with some change

halcyon radish
#

hopefully you're asia

hoary crag
#

you only need a fully active one, and a staggered one

#

I don't really share my pwms since I might change it every now and then depending on aic changes

small creek
#

so when do we send the dige website

subtle finch
#

i dont even use pwm in wuling

hoary crag

it's basically, you drive a car
and to maintain a desired average speed, you full step on the gas for 2 seconds, then coast for 10 seconds

it just requires mathing out what those intervals are, or using a tool like dige

before trying pwm, you need to ask if you need pwm, if you don't know the answer, you don't need it

i'm not even sure what mine is
I just did 2^3 splitters and it worked with a bit of headroom

@halcyon radish

use two thermal banks. your first one should be always active, and the second one should be this right here

I attached it to automation core, but you're free how you want to return it.

both have to use SC batteries

#

any safe endfield factory sim website?

halcyon radish
#

but for now i'm kinda confused on what i'm meant to be doing here, there's one thermal bank so i'm assuming this one is the one getting staggered? but why is there another belt leaving that whole thing in the middle

subtle finch
#

btw, set max waste to something huge like 500, or you might not get solutions

fervent lodge
#

idk about safe, maybe it will explode your PC if you build a 150x150 factory

halcyon radish
glacial slate
fervent lodge
# halcyon radish ahhh

you basically arrange the splitters in such a way that on every splitter it has a chance to turn back to storage
so you're effectively sending only a limited amount of batteries into the tank compared to full belt of them

#

that's all there is to it

small creek
glacial slate
#

the enemies just afk for the flamethrowers lol

subtle finch
# halcyon radish ahhh

dige should tell you most you need if you just look carefully.
this for example says this splitter-converger layout sends 1 in 256 items to thermal bank, generating 250w if it's sc bat

how far are the boxes

the ones near the ledge?

yea theres 2 of them

Is the 512 facility limit region specific? Or Subregion?

subtle finch
#

started at 40 to 13

wispy grove

i think its obviously because when it switches from cuprium parts to packed origocrust, that switch is instant, and there's no 6sec gap

Wow it's insane how restrictive 512 is, but I guess calculating all this for so many players gets exponentially harder the more facilities you allow too.

im cooked with this splittersRossiCopium

small creek
#

@wispy grove honestly just uhh

#

there is this secret sauce where u dont have to do fuckahh splitters to specifically make 5.625

wispy grove
#

bro im waiting

small creek
#

step 1: make 6/min yazhen A as usual
step 2: place a fitting unit going into a gearing unit right beside it
step 3: priority split the refined cuprium between the bottles and the fitting unit in step 2
step 4: priority split the cuprium parts from yazhen A between yazhen A and the gearing unit

#

though this does mean you have to learn priority split..

subtle finch
#

this is the bigger picture, i think you're also trying to make the same thing

#

you just set your limiter on the left, and the rest will go to syringe A

small creek
#

but after that, the cuprium for both comp and syringe will automatically adjust to how much xiranite you put in the comp

#

i dont wanna login the game so youre just gonna have to make do with this screenshot PerliDerp

alternating is different, that's why i wanted to test it on the sim

but that splitter is unable to back-block the converger 100% of the time

it's stable in game, i haven't seen it misbehave

fervent lodge

lemme look at it too ig

uneven aspen
#

😔 i still don't get why the jingyu valley outpost only has 50 protocol space around it

#

had to make conduits outside and teleport back in connections

#

hmmm yeah a fluid pump costs 2 protocol each. and there's some stupid limitation about it being only 50 around the outpost

#

and the tower defense turrets count towards those 50 . . .

#

conduit outlets only cost 1 protocol, so it's just better to use conduits and then teleport back and make a connection

paper raptor
#

guys, is there no way to connect existing yellow tower to green???

fervent spoke
vale topaz
paper raptor
vale topaz
#

also 1 fluid pump / output can power 2 factory unit.
with correct placement, 1 small power tower can power up 3 pumps.

uneven aspen
paper raptor
#

nvm figure it out

uneven aspen
#

so naturally need to figure out if i can get that much water to the outpost

vale topaz
#

the current amount of forge is 4, unless you want to put future forge ( if we get it ) into jingyu valley as well.

uneven aspen
#

of course I know the current limit is 4

#

like i said you can fit 6 forges and 2-3 plant farms

#

so was wondering if there's enough water to go in

fervent spoke
uneven aspen
#

hmm i think 7 conduits for water is good enough

#

6 forges need 12 water, and then 1 more conduit for the 2 plant farms.

Kinda strange it's better to conduit water from around the outpost

#

than use the one by the small lake

#

atleast teh protocol space in the valley is more than enough

fervent spoke
#

Future proofing or what's the goal with 6 forges ?

#

NVM, just gotta read all the bla bla PerliWheeze

anddd i realized why bother doing splitter system if your 3.75 all goes to yazhenRossiCopium

huh

uneven aspen
#

if converger is away from depot unloader the 5/min breaks

subtle finch
#

i actually solved that issue

#

just put spitter behind

fervent lodge
#

do you see any meaningful difference between these two

subtle finch
#

the converger will prioritize everything on the side first

uneven aspen
fervent lodge
#

left is 25
right is 30

subtle finch
#

yes

fervent lodge
#

💀

stoic coyote
fervent lodge
#

despite having the exact same topology

wispy grove
vast iron
wispy grove
#

thats why you need a belt as a breathing line to let the item inside the converge leave before the item in the splitter pass through converger

vast iron
#

converger prio happens when a splitter is directly next to a converger side

fervent lodge
vast iron
#

In which case converger will prioritize the non-splitter input

#

which isnt the case since theres a buffer

subtle finch
#

that's what i said PerliFumo

fervent lodge
#

i deadass can't see the difference in that case

vast iron
#

both should be 25?

wispy grove
subtle finch
#

i shared my findings about it

fervent lodge
#

oh my god it's edge creation order dependent

#

i hate circular graphs

vast iron
#

itl deprioritize

#

but needs testing

subtle finch
#

that's the fix, you want it to deprioritize the back, so the sides dont clog

#

or it will cause weird timing issue, and you get 1/4 splitter instead

wispy grove
#

my 10.5sc got clogged because of that splitter problem

#

but now its fixedPerliOK

fervent lodge
#

so the cuprium line is the only line that doesn't work

subtle finch
#

i'm also using for this, merging my half ori lane with battery production, this lets battery fully pass avoiding buildup

fervent lodge
#

and the last origocrust line is splitter order dependent

#

you have to place the middle splitter last for it to work

#

so this relies on buffers existing

#

right........

#

right...............

#

which means i need to treat edges as 1-size buffers too

#

Ok mr ai rewrite this 2000-line file so that the edges can now store items in themselves and not in virtual input port buffers of buildings

#

surely it will do a good job

#

@subtle finch workaround for now

#

if you need these to compute correctly

#

same footprint just uglier
