[rocky niche]

increase plot size?

[nocturne stag]

this is a Android looking bot next to your AIC Area you can expand your AIC there

[rocky niche]

you talk and buy upgrades from AIC steward

the owl robot beside the plot

if maximize means what factory lines to setup

valley-4 raw materials (max yield):

originium ore = 560/min = 18.67 lines (used 540/min, unused 20/min)
amethyst ore = 240/min = 8 lines
ferrium ore = 1080/min = 36 lines
suggested materials to craft:
- 3 buck capsule A = 18/min (1 Buck Capsule A = 8 ferrium lines)
- 3 hc valley battery = 18/min (1 HC Valley Battery = 6 originium lines, 4 ferrium lines)
- 2 canned citrome C = 24/min (1 Canned Citrome C = 4 amethyst lines)

[sharp pier]

it's max

i dont know how to take an entire photo all at once im gonna try the cliffs

[rocky niche]

go to the right side

there's a cliff overlooking the whole AIC plot

[sharp pier]

there we go, how do i-- fix this... everything just "sucks"

never played satisfactory or factorio

so i just winged every factory setup

[rocky niche]

get blueprints in #1461542035617091681

[rocky niche]

this is for max profit

you setup this if you unlocked all mining nodes in v4

[sharp pier]

oh wow!!

thank you.

[hoary crag]

do you have a goal in mind? or an idea of what products you want to make?

[shut rover]

Couldn't figure out a good compact design with depot when you have to bend the belts due to cuprium odd facilities

[sharp pier]

I uhh--- tbh I dont know, I havent even touched the Wuling rabbit hole yet

[hoary crag]

ah ic

[sharp pier]

i saw the fac and the tutorial and i was like: "it's water this time?!"

[hoary crag]

what's your current originium and ferrium input for valley 4?

[sharp pier]

also-- i believe i asked questions here in this channel and--- they called me "seedmaxxing"

[sharp pier]

lemme send it:

[fervent lodge]

show topdown view?

caps lock

[hoary crag]

dw about that too much, once you understand how to make production lines, especially through valley 4

fluids would simply be like an added lesson or two after you've finished 10

[fervent lodge]

you can send multiple screenies

[hoary crag]

and what products are you making right now?

[subtle finch]

@fervent lodge i hope there's a way to simulate a full depot, we use the trick a lot for making ratios that auto adjust

[fervent lodge]

depot is actually modeled! it's just not capped right now

[sharp pier]

im making these rn, just started super recently after i saw these were needed for Xiranite

[hoary crag]

hmm

[sharp pier]

however, i am using Metastorage transfer

i just landed in Wuling like 3 days ago-- so no depots, no bills, no Sub-PAC's

[hoary crag]

you can produce them independently on wuling though

so there is absolutely no need to transfer them from valley 4

[sharp pier]

Like--- im just hoarding them at this point

[fervent lodge]

I'll see what i can do. Will need a window where you can adjust what is capped and what is not, but it's not that trivial

[shut rover]

These things aren't that hard to do

[sharp pier]

i'll do that eventually

[sharp pier]

The Core AIC in my Wuling is-- actually empty rn

at least it's a blank slate

[shut rover]

You'll get there

[fervent lodge]

it's been such a long time since i've looked at my valley 4

[sharp pier]

I mean like--- well, yeah it's definitely seedmaxxing

[hoary crag]

oh my

oh my oh my

[sharp pier]

https://tenor.com/view/pedro-pascal-mandalorian-laugh-cry-gif-21495683

[hoary crag]

that's a lotta seeds lmao

[sharp pier]

Uhhh--- what the helly is this

[hoary crag]

wild

[shut rover]

I definitely should do something about my excess sandleaf

[sharp pier]

wha

[hoary crag]

for me you could even tell what I'm already making just from the cliff pov

[fervent lodge]

hmmm i should recreate it in the planner

[sharp pier]

yes

[shut rover]

How much sandleaf is being use if the output is 50

[sharp pier]

[hoary crag]

wuling for comparison

[sharp pier]

literally me winging the entire factory process and thinking,

"lets max all that out in case it's needed someday"

I think I was way too obsessed with the "surplus of production vs. usage" and then leaving it for a few irl days

and then before i knew it i was hitting max and then depot then maxed out again

An hour or so ago the stabilized carbon was at 24k

almost 30k by now, if I cook some instant noodles then come back it's gonna be 30k

[sharp pier]

did i send my sandleaf?

by The Law

this one was the weirdest one because only ONE facility is active producing it

since 1 sandleaf => 3 Sandleaf Powder

[hoary crag]

lol

[sharp pier]

As to what product i want to make-- honestly, i have no idea

by the time i realized what was wrong, the gear templates already needed Xiranite [level 70 ? ]

Considering Wuling, I don't need to "80k maxx" those cubes right?

[hoary crag]

well technically the max in wuling so far is 58k

but if you're asking which of them are used, it's the first two

[sharp pier]

first two?

oh dea

[hoary crag]

dense orig for wuling batteries (both lc and sc)

dense dorito for xiranite components (you need to pass them thru refinery to make packed dorito)

[tawny bear]

lowkey if u really wanna fill ur storage u can just use metastorage from valley IV

[sharp pier]

OHH! Packed Origocrust

doritos

[hoary crag]

since it's 1.5k per hour for the most basic items, it should fill depot in less than two days

tho the more complex ones will take longer

[shut rover]

This probably would choke my xiranite production

[hoary crag]

output is 50 what?

[sharp pier]

what-- -about these?

[hoary crag]

ferrium bottles only

the rest optional but not required

steel bottle is required for the highest tier of crafted meds as of now tho

[shut rover]

Im thinking that i could do sandleaf at 50% production so then i wouldn't have to have more planters but 15 multiply by 3 doesn't favour a good result for two grinders

[sharp pier]

when it comes to these bottles btw-- does it matter what bottles you have when "fill with clean water" comes up?

[hoary crag]

as for filled bottles, no requirement on that side afaik

the requirement iirc only applies thru production/crafting certain products

for example:

yazhen syringe C, jincao drink needs ferrium bottles
yazhen syringe A, jincao tea needs cuprium bottles

[sharp pier]

Is cuprium another variety of rock/ore

jeebus

[pulsar cypress]

Copium ore..

[keen river]

the horrors beyond comprehension

[subtle finch]

I'm so close to finding the perfect layout, or at least attractive enough
this is redesign no. 5

[hoary crag]

the one who said the dirty beans are cute should be convicted of treason

[keen river]

The fact that they still dont sell chuby lung merch too

[hoary crag]

I swear they need to add a chubby lung dijiang decor in 1.2

the best way to spend 4M

[subtle finch]

excuse me?

[hoary crag]

bean

[keen river]

Those look like chuby lung versions of characters

[hoary crag]

because they are 😭

[hollow drum]

express requirement: chubby lung of rossi, chen, gilberta as merch

[keen river]

wait, is this what this notice is about ?!

[cobalt hedge]

i feel like chen. what am i missing guys, where's my line of little depot nodes along the sides like in valley iv?

[subtle finch]

they're craftable and movable in wuling

[fervent lodge]

you should f5, i updated logistics images

it's so funny how layouting style differs between people

[subtle finch]

ooh, hd

[fervent lodge]

added arrows also

[cobalt hedge]

where's that overwhelming burden of thinking meme

i wonder if they'll be moveable like this in new areas

[fervent lodge]

we need but for tangtang
or chen

[cobalt hedge]

i kinda liked them being fixed, but i can see why moveable parts would be preferable

[vast iron]

the only issue i have with movable is you can put them outside aic

It takes my space away

[keen river]

yeah, them being super fat is kinda demerit

but at least we can walk on top of them, valley 4 ones are an annoying wall

[subtle finch]

at least you can run pipes on top of them without feeling guilt about the space that takes instead

[crimson inlet]

[wind sentinel]

I hate how fluid ports are unidirectional

rip symmetry

[subtle finch]

@fervent lodge at least dual recipe for crucibles?

[dire vapor]

Today's meddling

Wish it was symmetrical, but the refinery gimmick needs space

Oh I can actually just use one pylon for the whole thing

[subtle finch]

she's done

[wind sentinel]

One tile short from making this all fit

[keen river]

as in height or width

[wind sentinel]

width, I can't supply the planters in the middle with water

[keen river]

ah

but

do you need the forges to be rotated that way?

[subtle finch]

you can use mine

[keen river]

cant you rotate them toward themselves?

[jovial breach]

funny graph

[fervent lodge]

it has tho

you can select two no

[keen river]

if you rotate the forges 180 degrees then you wont need the gap between modules.. ?

if i see it right

[pulsar cypress]

Yass..

[subtle finch]

it wasnt intuitive

[wind sentinel]

it looks cleanest to me, i'll try the other config if it works, so far this is the best I could do here

[fervent lodge]

i agree actually.

[subtle finch]

also, there's something wrong with this pipe, its 2 pumps worth, and one unit on the left
it seem to only supply to 2 out of 3 units

[fervent lodge]

press G real quick

what's the connections look like

[fervent lodge]

send link ig

[pulsar cypress]

Isn't the pipe for planting blocked?

[subtle finch]

nvm i just mixed up converger and splitter

this is so embarassing

[upper fiber]

https://giphy.com/gifs/dog-puppy-embarrassed-WZP3qaxYj10gU

[wind sentinel]

Yeah imagine it's 1 off to the side mb

[keen river]

maybe you could also move the planters around to have more space 🤔

for example if you move the planter one block up and one to left and then rotate it by 90 degrees

[wind sentinel]

this is the alternative that works

[keen river]

you will have a gap to connect stuff and the refining unit / shredder can go next to it to left/right

yeah, thats what i was thinking about with rotating the forges

and you can put the depot loader in the middle easily

[pulsar cypress]

Do you want it to be symmetrical/mirrored?

[wind sentinel]

hmm youre probably right, the alternative is doing something like this which doesnt look as clean plus the grinder would be a pain to load with sandleaf

[wind sentinel]

Pretty much yeah, I wish we could flip the fluid inlet port lol

[keen river]

or something like this for planters

[pulsar cypress]

With a bit moving, i can make it more compact in size by like 4 rows..
Want the input?

[keen river]

and less belty version

[pulsar cypress]

Yea.. Was gonna say the same as Amalek for the placement..
U save like 2-3 row at top and bottom..

[vale topaz]

can fit 4 and then 6 if will get another additional forge

[keen river]

that being said

this whole setup with two planters per forge is pretty expansive

[pulsar cypress]

But a bit different in position..

[keen river]

you only need one planter per forge, but then its harder to build whole thing

[hoary crag]

you need two though.

sandleaf + wuling plant

[keen river]

well yeah

but his setup doesnt have sandleaf in first place

[uneven ledge]

Is ||10000L|| of liquid xiranite storage overkill?

[wind sentinel]

hmm yeah the sandleaf was the one I was accounting for

Why i left gaps between grinders

[keen river]

yeah, figured it out

thing is

this refining unit produces two belts of coal

but you only use one

and then you have whole second setup to make the other belt of coal (and also dont use belt of coal there)

[wind sentinel]

Ohhh right i forgot about thattt haven't unlocked the wuling recipe yet

[wind sentinel]

i forgot it shits out 2 coals

[keen river]

yeah

[wind sentinel]

Man gotta change this entire thing then lol

[keen river]

ironically, your setup will work if you feed it the non-wuling plant

but then you dont need water and the gap between planters

[wind sentinel]

yup but i highly doubt there's gonna be forges in new regions though

[keen river]

i think they will add two more at least tbh

[hoary crag]

you don't have to.

it just doesn't show up in recipe book until you actually do it

[keen river]

this is my forge setup for record

[pulsar cypress]

But need one more planter if non water one.. More spaces..

[wind sentinel]

I'll cook something new up, I'm really just aiming for something that looks very nice to look at that's also compact

[hoary crag]

dimensions?

[keen river]

and then mirrored/rotated for whole thing

[keen river]

24x17

could be less if it wasnt making its own sandleaf tbh

[hoary crag]

fair enough

I wonder if I could shrink mine more

[keen river]

i will probably rebuild it once more forges are available

the symetric build i went for doesnt really work due to pipes anyway

so maybe some repeating one will just look better

[hoary crag]

mine's currently 25x19, has everything including the protocol stash

used to be 23x21, but I can't fit 4 of them side-by-side in core aic so I made adjustments

[dreamy jungle]

Mine

[keen river]

yeah, this looks better

[hoary crag]

25x15, ngl looks really nice

[keen river]

so something like this and just copied next to each other instead of my symetry

[hoary crag]

mine (25x19)

[thorn pike]

i wanna fuck the AIC factory

[keen river]

i think you could even compress it a bit more if you swapped the planter and seeding unit and mirrored whole thing vertically 🤔

then the water pipe could go in the middle instead of outside

[thorn pike]

that's what she said

[keen river]

but its a bit of overkill

[dreamy jungle]

Hmm

[keen river]

not sure if it will work tho tbh

[keen river]

it sort of feel like this pipe layout might be feasible, but whenever it is or not im not quite sure 😅

you would need to swap the planter/seeder and flip whole setup vertically

[dreamy jungle]

Does planter reach refiner tho

[solid linden]

tangtang ahh factory

[subtle finch]

my base is done for now

[upper fiber]

goodluck changing them in... 17days

[solid linden]

thats the fun part buddy

[solid linden]

how do i do that

[iron spoke]

is it standard to throw away sandpowder? do planters cost less power than protocol stash?

[subtle finch]

they're one of the highest costing in total, try not to waste too much

[solid linden]

HELL NAH

[keen river]

i think it might work? 🤔

[subtle finch]

it's my xiranite bypass for making components
i can delete it when im full

[keen river]

thats fine, you can supply 4 facilities with single pipe

[upper fiber]

hinazin

[solid linden]

nah im joking

[solid linden]

ohh thx

[keen river]

so yo can supply two such setups from one side, and other two from other side

[subtle finch]

idk what's blocking the screenshot in chrome, i have to use firefox

[dreamy jungle]

Ok lemme try haven't touched this bp for long

[solid linden]

wait, where is this located?

[fervent lodge]

popup blocker probably. instead of opening in new tab i should do a dialog window i think

[keen river]

this looks like some third party tool

[iron spoke]

i stock the 3rd sandpowder from a xiranite farm so I can build 1 less sandflower farm. but it looks like here its not standard practice

[fervent lodge]

pins, second msg from the top

ohhh this is kinda pretty

with labels now you can straight up make infographics

[subtle finch]

the forbidden runes

[vague topaz]

yes, but you need to split them evenly

[fervent lodge]

not needed

if facility clogs, flow redistributes

it just takes a bit

[keen river]

the forge will have water input on the other side (from outside), but it will still be in bounds, just move the forge toward the middle

and fit the power pole somewhere

[solid linden]

can i load blueprint from the game to this site tho?

[fervent lodge]

If you really need this I can wire this up this evening

otherwise, tomorrow

[solid linden]

oh shit youre the creator

nah i just wanted to see everyting in one frame

ill wait

[fervent lodge]

i'm kinda caffeinated today so maybe i'll do this rn

[solid linden]

ping me if so 🙏 appreciate the work

[subtle finch]

the only thing the sim can't emulate now in my base is multi item belts

[fervent lodge]

the recipe switching thing?

yeag

i mean it doable but it's so ass.......

[subtle finch]

no, just to do the depot

[fervent lodge]

huh

merging two items onto a belt works tho

[subtle finch]

i have to put temporary loaders to check the numbers

[solid linden]

seems like this too

or i didnt find a way

[fervent lodge]

am i tripping

OH
it doesn't show the alternating items on the belts themselves

that should be an easy fix? i think

[wind sentinel]

what site are you guys using for blueprints? I hate prototyping ingame

[fervent lodge]

pins, second from the top

[wind sentinel]

aight thanks! didn't know enka did this also

[fervent lodge]

yeah it got out of hand

[solid linden]

are you planning to add crucible support for outside of an aic?

just asking

[dreamy jungle]

This legit is better! Now it's true 25x15 thanks will need to update my bp post

[subtle finch]

yeah idk, its exactly as how my base is

[keen river]

👍

[fervent lodge]

like using only its fluid ports?

sure

[solid linden]

yeah

[fervent lodge]

wrote it down

[solid linden]

thx!

[wind sentinel]

does the enka planner have a ruler tool lol

[fervent lodge]

hold shift

well hm
it only shows bounds of what is selected actually

so not a true ruler tool

[wind sentinel]

doesn't show number of blocks though, yeah

[fervent lodge]

i guess placing down a belt/pipe then measuring it is a way

[wind sentinel]

yeah same as ingame ig

[fervent lodge]

yeah that's kinda how i was measuring area sizes lmao

[subtle finch]

https://discord.com/channels/950244160684834837/1481528724955463722
leander have the smallest one i think, that's his entire niche 331.5sq area/forge

[wind sentinel]

ohh nice that's actually very helpful

[dreamy jungle]

it's just about compact single forge

my best attempt was 40x34 for 4 forge btw

[wispy grove]

Looks nice. Now add conduit

[subtle finch]

i finished my symmetric one, it doesn't win on size, but it doesn't waste sand

[dreamy jungle]

u can copy for your base

[fervent lodge]

getting darkmoded again

[wispy grove]

Nahhhhhh.. i already copied your old one.

[subtle finch]

is it supposed to look different?

[pulsar cypress]

Me using this one.. 25x28 for 2..

[fervent lodge]

well your icons are all gone

[subtle finch]

oh right the icons

[fervent lodge]

and pipes have black arrows

[dreamy jungle]

yo that's also mine

[subtle finch]

it's ours now

[pulsar cypress]

XD

[fervent lodge]

https://tenor.com/view/mine-finding-nemo-mine-mine-mine-thats-mine-lulugifs-gif-20827668

[pulsar cypress]

Trying to make another compact one, always failed..
Sooo.. Yeaa.. Still settle with this..

[dreamy jungle]

glad so many like to use my bps

[pulsar cypress]

Its nice, compact and the piping looks simple..

[wheat forum]

Those Xiranite loading belts can also be drawn to the PAC directly as well.

[subtle finch]

they were before, but sometimes too much belts look ugly

[marble yarrow]

[fervent lodge]

SEWAGE BOTTLES

[subtle finch]

#aic-factory message

i spent weeks trying to make a layout for those ugly filling units

[pulsar cypress]

Me kinda happy with mine.. For med A&C..

[dire vapor]

I enjoy the idea of dual use crucibles here, but the 2nd set of planters + shredders taking more space than just simply adding a 2nd crucible keeps me away from it

[subtle finch]

you can alternate the plants in the seeder/planter too

[pulsar cypress]

Coz its for all types of meds..
If wanna one plant type, can just deleted one set of plants..

Feed one only to crucible for both type..

[dire vapor]

I could, but I prefer full utilization of the shredded powder for now

[sterile topaz]

Can anyone explain me what is the difference of hydro mining rig and electric mining rig 2

[subtle finch]

i have freed myself from the chains of direct belt planters, all these bus space wasted if you still build like in valley iv

[pulsar cypress]

If see in between the shredder theres stash..
The excess stocked at depot for daily delivery..

[fervent lodge]

cheaper power, can mine copium ore

[sterile topaz]

what cheaper and save

what is the machine??

[pulsar cypress]

3 mining rig more energy consumption than 1 water pump.
Coz water rig didn't consump energy..

[subtle finch]

are you in wuling right now? it's only for wuling

[fervent lodge]

well pump to feed the water into it does consume energy

but it's less

[sterile topaz]

should i use hydro than electric

[sterile topaz]

it can use both

[sick basin]

For ferrium nodes at least, saves u 40 power

[pulsar cypress]

In wuling area yess.. If wanna save energy..

[idle stump]

code for thermal battery ?

[sick basin]

Make personalized

[sterile topaz]

what is the purpose for pipe in hydro mining

[sick basin]

To..make the hydro work?

Hydro = water

[pulsar cypress]

To send water from pump to the mining rig?

[pulsar cypress]

The pump drain water, send to the rig to make it work drilling..
So the rig didn't need energy, need water as replacement of energy..

[sterile topaz]

ah i see i see

thank you

because i have a long journey on wuling

ahh how to connect water on hydro??

[sick basin]

With..pipes

[sterile topaz]

nevermind i got it

i just need to use outlet and inlet

[pulsar cypress]

*or just drag with pipes + splitter/converger..
Usually there is water source nearby..

[sterile topaz]

what is diff on spliiter and converger i am still bit confused about the factory

[sick basin]

Think about the name for a second

[smoky eagle]

yo, is there a way to bypass forced eviction?

[sick basin]

Pay your bills on time

[smoky eagle]

lmao

[lapis crane]

splitter : split one line to 2 or 3
basically make them 1/2 or 1/3 output value

converger : merge the 2/3 line to one
if it full for each lane before going in it will alternate between each lane
if it splitted beforehand it will go much smoother by placing them between empty conveyor if possible

both will ignore the alternation if they stuck

[sterile topaz]

so the merge is only for same item and splitter is for different item

[real crescent]

go faster

[sick basin]

Merger can be for diff items

[real crescent]

i thiiiiiink having an absolute dogshit pc setup might help aswell

[wind sentinel]

any confirmation on how many forges are there in total?

[sick basin]

4

[smoky eagle]

damn

[sterile topaz]

i try it but its not working on merge

[sick basin]

We'll get 2 more

[sterile topaz]

im confused

[smoky eagle]

I did it i captured the Zipline above infra station

[sick basin]

As we saw in some of the trailers and shit

[lapis crane]

the line doesn’t matter if it 1 or more item type
tbh if you does complete alternate of 2to1 alternate converge and then 2 way split again
it still does separate them

but it useless kit for now since every stuff u can shove it with each line of conveyor

[smoky eagle]

er

valley pass aic

[lapis crane]

if you trying to merge both full line into one
it will make that merged line basically take each half of both line into one as alternation

thus make process twice as longer and clog the what came out of both line

[sterile topaz]

so splitter does better??

[smoky eagle]

uguu

[lapis crane]

also no
they make each line they split either 1/2 each or 1/3 each depends if u do 2 or 3 ways splitting

so thus make each splitted line not working full time

unless u intentionally split for something

[fervent lodge]

neat.

[winged copper]

I joined not too long ago but is it possible to copy that code and have the same design placed for myself?

[fervent lodge]

ingame? yeah

it's a na/eu code though

[winged copper]

Chill

[fervent lodge]

it's KyoStinV's blueprint

iirc for outpost

you stick the PAC in that space

[lapis crane]

it depend on server too
u cant import asia server to NA server

[winged copper]

Im on eu

Now ill have to hope I got all the stuff for it lolll

[sick basin]

We have a whole #1461542035617091681

So like

[winged copper]

Ohw dayum

[sterile topaz]

im getting addicted to factory i thought it was boring

[subtle finch]

crazy

I built it in game

[fervent lodge]

blueprint time

[subtle finch]

it's live now?

[graceful otter]

rip ferrium

[fervent lodge]

no i mean blueprint this one

i wanna test it

[subtle finch]

EFO013o7233iU2a440579
asia tho

[sterile topaz]

anyone have blueprint with red ore material

[glacial slate]

just search up cuprium in #1461542035617091681

[sterile topaz]

Alr

[subtle finch]

the 1/3 limiter might need to be adjusted

[fervent lodge]

now ain't that a neat

[subtle finch]

[fervent lodge]

something is wrong with convex hull tho. hmm

[sterile topaz]

Thank you btw

[glacial slate]

[fervent lodge]

brb will push in like 2 minutes

Something is wrong with bounding boxes though, but eh. will fix tomorrow

[celest harbor]

CAN ANYONE HSLP ME WITH THE WULING FACTORY I NEED GEAR BUT IM SO CONFUSED 🙂💔

[subtle finch]

what do you have in production now?

[iron spoke]

holy, your tool works for exporting in game blueprints now? is that in production?

[fervent lodge]

importing

[subtle finch]

the annotation tool turned my bp french

[fervent lodge]

one glance was enough for the accordion sounds to start playing

[fervent lodge]

What do you have right now at least? Did you just get to wuling or

[celest harbor]

Um i just used some random xiranite blueprint from yt but i dont understand anytjing…😓😓😓😓

[fervent lodge]

Do you at least understand how to build out recipes? Roughly

[fervent lodge]

done, in prod

just grab a bp code and ctrl v

[solid linden]

thx!!!

[fervent lodge]

If you straight up don't understand anything, try this tutorial to get you started with the factory building basics: https://enkad.enka.network/tutorial

[celest harbor]

TYSM

[fervent lodge]

If you need gear, it's a pretty simple line, just needs some originium and xiranite

[celest harbor]

Im too dumb for this game og arknights factory is way easier….

[fervent lodge]

og arknights factory is just "tell them to make stuff"

this time you're the one making stuff :^)

[celest harbor]

Yeaaaa im too dumb for that💔💔💔💔

[fervent lodge]

nah, just need to put thing into thing and make another thing

[celest harbor]

Its confusing asf for me cuz theres too much stuff

[subtle finch]

endfield is 80% factory, take your time to get to know it or you will hate 80% of the time you're playing

[celest harbor]

I like cute anime girls so…😈

I mean i play it just for surtr but the rest is cute too

[fervent lodge]

Honestly you jumped a bit too far with wuling, as it has pipes and shit
I'd recommend fooling around and making a simple production line for gear in a valley 4 outpost

for practice

[celest harbor]

Why do they force us to do this hard factory stuff to get gear😔

[fervent lodge]

because it's a factory game~

[subtle finch]

did you get the convergers to work in my bp?

[fervent lodge]

it really is not that hard if you look at it
if you want to make bread, you first mix dough in the dough mixing machine
then you have dough, you send it to the oven machine
oven machine cooks it and you take it out and store it in the depot

that, but with batteries/gear/dust/etc using the recipes the game gives

shrimple

[celest harbor]

😔

[subtle finch]

i knew they should turn the machines into anime girls

[celest harbor]

Not for me…

[fervent lodge]

did you cut off the pipe in your bp

[subtle finch]

yeah, it wont fit

i just have these 2

[mighty pasture]

I just played this game in less than a week but my brain not working on the hydro mining

If it runs with water from hydro pump, doesn't that mean the hydro pump itself need electricity?

[fervent lodge]

yup

[mighty pasture]

Guess I gotta connect it all the way near cuprium?

[subtle finch]

[fervent lodge]

well, the water

the power stays on the pump and that's it

[mighty pasture]

Another question

[fervent lodge]

just checked, answer is no
will have to debug tomorrow

gets stuck behind yazhen for some reason......

[mighty pasture]

Never mind about my question I think I figure it out

[subtle finch]

no rush

[mighty pasture]

Can use depot as output

To make more stuff

[fervent lodge]

for items? yea
stash anything into depot, take out of the depot anywhere else

[mighty pasture]

This looks like it's gonna be a long long time to make whole stuff going stable

I don't take online blueprint this is actually one of the fun part this game offers

[fervent lodge]

yeah
and there's no reason to rush it either

as factory is independent from gacha

[subtle finch]

you're the complete opposite of the other one that came in lol

people tried to flame me for this

[mighty pasture]

Gonna start working on it for hours after I get my cuprium working
I need gears for character cause I didn't progress them too much I keep dying to Ruan Yi till I beat him with more effort

[fervent lodge]

i forgot today is april first.....

was like wtf

is it just me or this is the most fun looking item in the game

it's just...

idk

i like it

[subtle finch]

chocolate matcha

[iron spoke]

i was so relieved that my overbottled xirafluid during 1.0 ended up having a use

when I realized I'd never use more than 200 bottles exploring and had like 4k+

[subtle finch]

it's the same with og arknights, once you followed a guide to clear a stage, you already ruined the fun for yourself, it's hard to try it again by yourself

[fervent lodge]

also, now yes, but again... only importing

[fervent lodge]

I didn't have wisadel
remember that irish event with eblana

it took me like 3 hours

on the dragon

because of no guide stubborness

was it worth it?

depends.

[storm garnet]

lvl 60 gives a medal

now i can go offline for the full duration of the 360 sanity

well, as long as the factory doesn't blow up

[runic ermine]

Can i stop making cryston components now that i have access to making the better ones? I need to make space for more things

[subtle finch]

yes

[storm garnet]

you only really need cryston to make zipline towers tbh

just make a lot of parts to fill the depot and then dismantle the cryston lines

[runic ermine]

I already have 80k of those so I'm probably going to take it down then

Also do those just have no use?

[storm garnet]

the bottles are just for fancy liquid storage, and to unlock fancy recipes

i would make a few thousands

seems you have 80k, so you are more than fine

[leaden drift]

i bottle sewage

[sick basin]

Then you drink it

[runic ermine]

Alright I'll look into replacing the unnecessary production lines then
Thanks for the help

[true parrot]

guys when do i unlock bigger stacks 😭 8k max in my depot is so-

[sick basin]

Science park

[iron stratus]

unlocking and upgrading the depot nodes increases your depot max size

up to 80k in v4 and 58k rn in wuling

if we get two more depot nodes in wuling like in v4 we might end up with like 240k depot max

[true parrot]

ooo

okay so basically i'm just gonna go get those upgrades like asap

[bold river]

What u guys think about Kyostive 1.1 wuling blueprints

[subtle finch]

it gets the job done

[iron stratus]

number not low enough

must optimize

[dire vapor]

Realistically any blueprint that can get the correct factory outputs are usable, then it comes down to your sense of aesthetics and optimization goals

[iron stratus]

are there any good locations where i can put a dozen or so water pumps

[subtle finch]

here

[wispy grove]

It all comes down to your ocd's preference

[unkempt flame]

Why can’t the planting unit plant tartpepper

[wispy grove]

My friend has a functionable factory. But the graph is so crooked I'm expecting a breaking point in it within 2or 3 days

[wispy grove]

Rare plant?

[iron stratus]

im not demolishing my king's pond

[keen river]

nothing changed 😕

[wispy grove]

Nothing changed what?

[subtle finch]

[small creek]

[fervent spoke]

[small creek]

Aw man is aic fac dead rn

[fervent spoke]

but the factory must grow :c

[hoary crag]

I swear this is like literally the only spammer image we get to see here lmao

except for that one other time we somehow got something else

[keen river]

😅

Daily uninnovative spam drive by

[small creek]

why is it all mr beast even 😭

[hoary crag]

probably the only one 'smart' enough to not post in the bean channel

😭

[keen river]

It used to be Elon Musk Launches New Crypto Coin few years ago

I guess times have changed

[hoary crag]

fr

remember when we had to deal with excess sewage cuz of that stupid tax?

[lapis crane]

it still there somehow

[fervent spoke]

haven't paid tax since rossi banner

[upper fiber]

irs incoming

[hoary crag]

the irs in question:

[upper fiber]

https://giphy.com/gifs/ake-tangtang-arknight-endfield-9KykvkrtZKIIrlgP6u

no, this wretch is

[lapis crane]

look again is 1d stat

[fervent spoke]

[mighty pasture]

just notice something about how hydro mining works

the benefit for using it is we don't need to use that much thermal bank?

[fervent spoke]

I'm only seeing flat lines

[jade hare]

its finally cannon - hte penguinistrator

[vale topaz]

pengmin

[vale topaz]

yes, less power but more protocol points required.
protocol points can be seen at world map, on top of number of deploy able zip line.
the fluid tank cost 1, the splitter cost 1, the in/outlet each cost 1.

[olive basalt]

guys im about to go insane where the hell is it overlapping i cant see the overlapping part

[small creek]

Over there

[olive basalt]

over where bro

[small creek]

👉

[untold pulsar]

right there

[olive basalt]

can you guys show it on the screenshot perhaps

[untold pulsar]

check if you dropped something it sometime blocks

[small creek]

Sorry im handcuffed

[mild imp]

Rate my factory

(Im new and just fucking around lmfao. I have no idea what im doing)

[vale topaz]

never see an x marker on unused output slot.

[mild imp]

Think it was because i was in the "laying conveyor" toggle while i took the screenshot

[lapis crane]

grape of sewage for prio

I need to use excess xiranite

[vale topaz]

so many splitters x_X
unless you have slow story progression, things should unlock fast and minimize your dependency on splitter.

[mild imp]

Yeah ive been progressing super slow. I litterly only just met rossi in the story

My main game is hsr. I play this game on my phone because my computar cant run it

Id probably play it way more if my computar could handle it

At the time of this picture i think i only had unlocked splitters 24hours prior

[vale topaz]

take your time then, valley 4 will still last for another patch.
should be enough time to clean out the bunny stock store.

[hoary crag]

not bad for a starting point, I do recommend getting protocol stashes and depot buses as soon as you could

lets you manage the factories much easier

[mild imp]

Not sure what that is but ill keep that in mind thank you

[mild imp]

Thats good to know as well, thank you. By bunny store do you mean the stock redistribution thing?

[hoary crag]

more like a few more patches

since if I'm not mistaken, they said year 1 will focus on wuling

[vale topaz]

yes.
depot bus -> talk to penguin hologram for base expansion.
protocol stash -> factory unit which act like central AIC return item port.

[mild imp]

Oh ouuu that sounds really useful!

[vale topaz]

owh, guess our fluid management will soon become rainbow management.

[hoary crag]

tbf we're getting piss and two blood variants in 1.2

also a 8-9 slot reactor and one other facility what we don't know what does

[mild imp]

[hoary crag]

tho it did seem to turn one red liquid into another red liquid

[lapis crane]

how the hell my xiranite keep building up evn with always 12/m battery gen

[vale topaz]

with splitters formation like that... not sure

[hoary crag]

does your liquid xiranite cap in effluent reactors?

[pulsar cypress]

Clog once every billion..

So not detected in report..

[vale topaz]

well, wuling theme of factory is about introduction of fluid product.
they are represented by colors.
so far already covering blue, black/grey, dark green, light green, standard green, next patch will get orange and dark orange.

[lapis crane]

nope
using overflow proof pipeline so it shouldn’t clog
unless it max out 50 item in machine and still cant take out

[mild imp]

Oh good god

[hoary crag]

if you're starting out you really don't have to worry about it

[lapis crane]

and with tangtang being IRS tax on our liquid

[hoary crag]

valley 4 should teach you more than enough about making production lines that getting to wuling and having fluids would be just an added lesson or two

after you've already learned 10 in valley

[lapis crane]

2

literally mess of pipeline and crucible tax that just got fixed

[pulsar cypress]

Clog with 0 items also happen..

[mild imp]

Aha yes i totally pay attention to the annoying prompts i quickly flick off my screen so i can place down my lil beep boops on the ground

[hoary crag]

lmao

[lapis crane]

missing one is hurting my OCD

[hoary crag]

dw I skipped all of those too

all you have to do is simply just look at the production chain of the product you wanna make and you're good to go

[mild imp]

[pulsar cypress]

Ur output is 240.. Make gear comp?

[lapis crane]

one day stat is broken
or the factory is already broken

[hoary crag]

although I do recommend looking at a starter blueprint or two so you can study how people build lines

[mild imp]

Ngl i do sometimes lowkey regret it because i get to points and just go "....huh?"

[hoary crag]

will give you ideas on how to build lines on your own

[lapis crane]

basically just switchable component production (it close on normal circumstances)

[mild imp]

How do i look at other blueprints

[hoary crag]

that's fair enough

[hoary crag]

#1461542035617091681

[mild imp]

Oh thank you!

Ill take a look at some point

[hoary crag]

but yeah depending on the facility,

[mild imp]

What in the cluster fuck

[hoary crag]

you really don't have to concern itself with what it does

[mild imp]

@-@

[hoary crag]

but rather just see it as a step to get to the final product that you want

[mild imp]

It looks like people are building cities

[hoary crag]

let's say I want to make bread

I don't look at the oven, the bowl, and the pin separately

I just think like

[pulsar cypress]

Probably in digits its like 11.798 thing..
Not really 12?
So it might miss sometimes..

[hoary crag]

oh so flour goes through the pin, and then to the bowl, then the tray, and then in the oven

and then tada

bread

[lapis crane]

I need to add tumor in my base to deal with excess xiranite rn

[mild imp]

Oh okay. I think i see what you mean

[vale topaz]

not sure why you still have random missing unoptimized product at report.
mine no longer show this ( well, i don't spam splitters ).

[lapis crane]

look at one day result not 10min

[hoary crag]

I think that's what the production chains of products want you to think

[vale topaz]

yes, already at 1 day report, no random missing / unoptimized product.

been .... 3-4 days like since i heard they patched it

[lapis crane]

can u send screenshot

[vale topaz]

at office, later at home in.... 12 more hours

[hoary crag]

repeat that a couple times and you get this abomination of a factory 😭

[vale topaz]

android not strong enough to play this game.

[hoary crag]

posting valley 4 this time cuz I think I posted my wuling base way too much already

[mild imp]

Oh god

[lapis crane]

it always -1 for me for every item
even tho it keep piling up

same case for valley
somehow they piling up even max usage of item

[mild imp]

Im doing it anyway~

[mild imp]

Oh thier are different main bases?

[hoary crag]

second region, wuling

although you don't have to worry about it too much

[mild imp]

->

[hoary crag]

given that you've just met rossi

[mild imp]

Thier is already a second region?

[hoary crag]

has been since CBT 1

[lapis crane]

cant wait for desert map

and russia

[hoary crag]

I want third region to be la fantoma

so I can see martina again

[mild imp]

Ughh i wish this game worked on my pc so much

[vale topaz]

both my wuling and valley4 no longer have random -1 item at for 1 day report.
note, i never minmax output using splitter, only for water usage and ferrium at wuling, even that just a single splitter.

valley 4 is grassland + hills, wuling is swamp + forest biome.

[hoary crag]

this still remains my favorite part of my factory

[lapis crane]

that info is interesting

since I min max everything using splitter

and also add this tumor

[mild imp]

Beautiful

[vale topaz]

if next region about gas management, probably mountain / volcano....

[lapis crane]

or liquid oil
just like in desert

[hoary crag]

imagine if we get an aic with different elevations

[hoary crag]

https://tenor.com/view/oil-gif-21278310

[vale topaz]

and then we keep picking wrong liquid for treatment between sewage and oil.

[lapis crane]

imagine we need to make on site refinery or extractor before bluetooth to the base to process again

[vale topaz]

multi lvl factory units, incoming multi lvl belt.
an actual belt bridge, 6 way belt splitter , 5 way 1 output belt converger.
underground belt, belt lift up/down, belt highway, teleport belt, belt escalator up/down.
amazon drone delivery traffic.....

[hoary crag]

would be so peak

[hoary crag]

also imagine

[wispy grove]

Bruh

[hoary crag]

teleport belts would be so game changing

[lapis crane]

we have similar stuff at dijang main floor

but in factory
vertical transpoter be like

[vale topaz]

with 50 power usage tag.... valley 4 hc become meaningless

[pulsar cypress]

5 layer belt/pipe..
But when u wanna edit it, keep deleting/connecting the wrong one..

[vale topaz]

yeah, something like that.
a lift belt with power consume or escalator belt without power consume... maybe

remind me of cities skylines circle city build

[vale topaz]

or simply an overcharge button.
maybe like 'make this facility works 2x faster at the cost of 3x energy consumed'.

[lapis crane]

nah not worth it

more or less stuff doesnt matter
base people are broke anyway

[vapid dock]

Whats the current max bill/hr and how much do syringes and sc batteries sell for again I cant check rn

[hidden temple]

36,288/h including operator % up
22 and 54 respectively

[vapid dock]

Thx

[olive basalt]

golly gee. this took too long

[shut rover]

That would be hectic since endfield building is very limited in a confined space unlike satisfactory

Unless vertical upgrades is possible

[hidden temple]

com_packed_

[shut rover]

Tower factory

[olive basalt]

Like a proper factory

[small creek]

really bro

[pulsar cypress]

[olive basalt]

my syringe production is 4 and my battery production is 9, is it due to producing components?

[vale topaz]

can you still assist others ( ship function ) for credit reward ? or do depot delivery ( 30 per delivery ) ?

[rapid hedge]

yea some of your xiranites went to component
it might cause the sewage to clog -> might affect your cuprium's refining

[ruby sorrel]

yeah 9 and 4.5 should give you 3 comps not 2ish

[mighty pasture]

1 week old into the game got my xiranite production done

although it's mess

if it works, it works

gonna remade after i get my max expansion

[small creek]

I still have ongoing clue exchange i guess

it just sucks that i have to wait what, 9 hours? lol

[ruby sorrel]

functional, when you rebuild I suggest using wuling plants for carbon though

[mighty pasture]

now i can go back to exploring again

[olive basalt]

now my xiranite usage is above what im producing somehow

[mighty pasture]

noted

[hoary crag]

reason being wuling plants give you 2 carbon instead of one

[mighty pasture]

ohh ok

i made carbon powder farm at another place

[hoary crag]

seed to plant ratio is also reversed for wuling plants

[mighty pasture]

that's how i have enough

[ruby sorrel]

and for valley plants you want 2 planters for max eff

[mighty pasture]

leaving that for another day

[hoary crag]

ngl I kinda want to compress my xiranite line further

I've seen people with smaller lines

[mighty pasture]

have exploration to do, character building, etc

side quests too

can't fit everything at once

[hoary crag]

although most, if not all of them don't have a protocol stash for the excess sandleaf

[hidden temple]

any spare clues you have that you can just give away for pts? even if you need the clue

[rapid hedge]

you can add 1 more carbon powder output from that shredder
bc 1 carbon can be shred to 2 powders

[ruby sorrel]

yeah just stuff to take note of when you have new things to build since you're going to need more xiranite as you progress

[mighty pasture]

xiranite for exploration i assume?

[ruby sorrel]

you need some liquid xiranite in exploration, and you probably want to craft gold gear/artifice yeah

[vale topaz]

yes, for xiranite spray ( puzzle related ) and factory unit construction, the new power relay require xiranite

[hidden temple]

if you want it more compact without protostashes or waste, use 2 sandleaf loops for 3 production lines to use all 6 dust

but then you're left with 1 prod line lel

would be good for 6 forges

[mighty pasture]

what do you guys prioritize for dijiang upgrades first?

the owl resource gather is quiet limited but eventually it'll max my dijiang
just dont know where to start

[hoary crag]

you don't...

[ruby sorrel]

doesn't really matter imo it's a few days diff at worst

[hoary crag]

you just finish everything in a week and forget about it lmao

[mighty pasture]

ehhh ok

[hoary crag]

doesn't matter what order

[ruby sorrel]

and most of it doesn't do much for you with only a couple days

[rapid hedge]

you can max it within the first 3-4 days
that's how long it took for me to max dijiang iirc
it wont take long

[ruby sorrel]

it's sorta stuff collects over a few weeks now I spend less sanity on operator/weapon xp

[hoary crag]

yeah I was also thinking that I'd eventually need to make a triple forge setup at some point

but I kinda prefer the individual lines

yeah sure there's a fuck ton of excess sandleaf powder

but at least it still looks good

not to mention the excess sandleaf has its uses lol

depot deliveries + sc wuling battery's 4th dense cube

making it smaller as things stand would somewhat require me to break symmetry

[olive basalt]

this is weird. i turned off cuprium components to see if it would increase to 12, it didnt

[hidden temple]

yeah if you get 1 dust from each forge line that covers 1 sc setup, just kind of a hassle unloading 4 dust

[mighty pasture]

Amethyst doesn't exist at wuling but does it matter though?

[leaden drift]

interesting

[leaden drift]

amythyst bottles tho kinda hard

[leaden drift]

whats ur dense originium look like

[ruby sorrel]

how is xircon 85/55

[leaden drift]

something looks wrong there

[olive basalt]

ok so uh

syringes recovered but not batteries

[ruby sorrel]

your batts are fk'd ig

[leaden drift]

ur missing dense originium poweder

[olive basalt]

welp wait its climbing

[leaden drift]

in ur lines somwhere

[ruby sorrel]

yeah that looks like orig problem

[pulsar cypress]

Wait a bit till it normalized first..

[leaden drift]

yes

[ruby sorrel]

or maybe xircon is messed up 53 prod is odd

[rapid hedge]

it was prolly sewage

[leaden drift]

are u treating sewage?

[rapid hedge]

I usually just reposition my crucible after turning off component production

[olive basalt]

if anyone bothers to check lol

[rapid hedge]

just wait it should be normal soon
I usually just empty the wastes on my crucible just to fasten it up

[olive basalt]

So nothing abormal there?

[pulsar cypress]

What is this empty pipe?

Also 2 crucible goes zzz, try checking that..

[rapid hedge]

if it stays like that after waiting, then something prolly doesn't work

[olive basalt]

oh thats the valve for when i dont need components

[leaden drift]

something looks wrong here

[olive basalt]

it usually has sewage

but i turned it off

[ruby sorrel]

looks like sewage shortage tbh

[leaden drift]

3 dust into one grinder

as it stablizies

it will act weird

[vale topaz]

don't think a single water output from outlet can handle 4 facilities

[leaden drift]

because that looks like its splitting

[rapid hedge]

it can if it's sent from 2 water pumps

[ruby sorrel]

hmm yeah that orig shredder has extra belt out

and that sewage loop is confusing

[leaden drift]

@ruby sorrel x2

[pulsar cypress]

Try check this 2 sleeping crucible..

Maybe it cause the lag productions..

[olive basalt]

Apparently theres a lack of... inert xircon?

on those reactors

[leaden drift]

so a pipe issue

[pulsar cypress]

Yess.. Thats why its sleeping..
Go reverse back track..

[ruby sorrel]

looks like liquid xiranite being siphoned off into a tank

sewage is going ?? but blocked by control port

[pulsar cypress]

Check the inert supply crucible..

[olive basalt]

idk man, battery still at 10

maybe ill change to another blueprint this one was unnecessarily complicated

[pulsar cypress]

That conduit sewage supply to 2 crucible, it have enough sewage?

[leaden drift]

i tried to build it in a way that its all together in a sense

[pulsar cypress]

Xir and batt merge plant..

[leaden drift]

it works surprisingly well

easy to adjust too

[pulsar cypress]

Im not really good with calculation..
But if i simply connect the last crucible sewage to one of previous one.
And connect the other previous one to sewage outlet from medA refine.

Will it work fine?

[leaden drift]

it can clog

[pulsar cypress]

[leaden drift]

connecting it back means u get 30 sewage

ontop of ur other sewage

I cycle my sewage back to the begining

with treatmant plants ready for excess

a bit overkill

but I like the way this looks

and im bottling sewage in case

[pulsar cypress]

The one im using merge the excess with outlet first then split to both previous cruc..
It work fine..

Just wondering if no need to merge them will it still work fine..

[leaden drift]

you never know

[jovial breach]

It will work, but if you ever touch it, it will clog itself

[pulsar cypress]

Ah its about disrupting the flow problem..

[jovial breach]

Say you reducd your xiranite input

The crucible will use less sewage

But your sewage in xircon doesn't have anywhere to go other than looping back

[pulsar cypress]

Oh yass.. If it is changing the qty..
Mean less consumption..

So its work for kinda like permanent placement/production..

[jovial breach]

You can fix it by also reducing the input sewage from refinery

But that's a hassle

[leaden drift]

I wouldnt do that but yeah never know when some bug could happen to

[ruby sorrel]

idk my funny sewage loop didn't breakdown from variable input

tbh you can do it the other way, the loopback will always have more sewage than 1 crucible needs if you run them 1+fraction

if you run xircon at some efficiency < 100% using 1 + x/y effluent then you get x/y+1/(2y) sewage back

[wispy grove]

That's a scary looking pipe you got there

[ruby sorrel]

I just filled up the space for fun

[dreamy jungle]

My most recent work. Compact triple forge. If you find a way to inline the right piping, msg me

Want to keep 40x25 dimension tho

[keen sparrow]

If my xiranite yield (120) is lower than the usage (150).. will it eventually stop all factory when it goes to 0?

[winged oriole]

As long as you didn't built it too funny it should just slow down

maybe lower the usage before it actually hits 0 though

[keen sparrow]

may I ask what your current yield to usage is?

[winged oriole]

120 120

[keen sparrow]

and do you have 2 batteries being made & cuprium component simultaneously?

[winged oriole]

no if I make components I shut down one of the xircon lines temporarily

[keen sparrow]

ah

okay then I think I was being too greedy

[winged oriole]

Well if you have a lot of Xiranite you could keep it going like that for a while

But running out will kind of throw the balance of everything off probably

[keen sparrow]

yes I'll leave it for now, an annoying thing that happens is..

if my cuprium yield is too high it jams the machines creating the batteries

the sewage machines get clogged

[sterile stratus]

this looks clean af

[winged oriole]

If you know the ratio of generation to usage you can create some sewage shunts with a bunch of splitters and convergers so it mostly flows to your production but if that fills up it reaches the end of the splitter chain and goes to a water treatment unit

[olive basalt]

man, i spent all day crafting my factory

and it ended up not being 6/12

i swear, ill just use a blueprint next time

[sterile stratus]

my laziness got me and i'd rather get a sleep than beautifying my factory 🥀

[vale topaz]

if you're talking about sc battery, prepare cuprium refinery 1st before making that xircon line, because you need the sewage.
as placeholder, just use water treatment from cuprium refinery before deciding to turn on the xircon line.

[olive basalt]

honestly i dont even know if i can fix it i was kinda high on caffeine and insomnia when i built the factory

i might as well use a blueprint

if i fix one thing anothers gonna break

[olive basalt]

maybe i can prime it by shutting off the factories first and then restarting it

you think that would work

[vale topaz]

as long as you have large cache of lc / sc wuling battery while you working to rearrange everything.

[olive basalt]

what would you recommend me to shut off to see if things get fixed

[vale topaz]

only xircon line.
leave xiranite alone.
you can use water treatment for cuprium refinery while rearranging the whole xircon line.

personally, i won't play with splitter for xiranite usage.
i just cut down SC battery from 12 to 6 while making 6 lc + 3 cuprite comp or 3 xiranite comp.

[olive basalt]

yeah the deal was putting 3 splitters beneath the forge of the sky that if turned on, allocated more xiranite to components and vice versa

but now i realize that it may not have been as good of an idea as i thought it was

and i also put a control port to stop sewage overflow to the yazhen a production but it ended up starving the battery line, i guess

[pulsar cypress]

How about this, shorter piping and equal splitting..

[dreamy jungle]

Rather want piping on one side, also you cannot place splitter on belt unfortunately

[pulsar cypress]

Oh true, there's belt below it..

[subtle finch]

converger priority is so random, my splitter suddenly gained same priority with belt for some reason

[silent violet]

make a 6 forge design so i dont have to for next patch

[hoary crag]

just copy-paste it lmao

also I don't want to worry about a 3 or 6 forge design as of now

will wait for dev log

it's not like I can't design a prototype in a day anyway

tho I kinda want to compress my current xiranite line further

[silent violet]

optimal 6 forge will probably take like 10 hours

[hoary crag]

more or less yeah

probably even more for me since I always try to balance space efficiency and aesthetics

I don't want the fully compact setup if it looks like someone's code from 20 years ago

[subtle finch]

[hoary crag]

this is the current setup for reference, I could probably do something stupid and attempt like 25x17 or even 25x15

tho it'd mean breaking symmetry

[subtle finch]

it's funny seeing mixed reactions with compact builds, one thinks its the most beautiful thing, while the other thinks it looks hideous

[hoary crag]

unless if I'd view symmetry differently

[hoary crag]

I love a bit of both

like they always say

medium is premium

[hoary crag]

this can definitely be reduced to 24x19 if we could simply like switch the planter pipe orientation

that'd mean getting rid of that buffer tile in the middle

the only purpose of is to make sure the pipe fits

[subtle finch]

fruit made a 25x15

[hoary crag]

I actually did save this as reference too, not just for my current plans to update the single line

but also for a triple line if I ever decide to actually make one

but as things currently stand, I still kinda prefer single lines over triple ones due to modularity and aesthetics alone

the excess sandleaf powder can go to depot deliveries anyway

[hoary crag]

also imagine if we get 8 forges instead

and you'd have to further optimize your 4 forge setup for space so you can put two

[dreamy jungle]

just use two of them, you'll have to split a 6 forge bp anyway

[subtle finch]

i have other plans

[dreamy jungle]

8 forges guess I'll die

[hoary crag]

lmao

[silent violet]

not minimum square unitage

[hoary crag]

watch HC wuling batteries need 120/min xiranite

[subtle finch]

but my prediction is new battery would require completely different layout. we saw the 6 wide crucible already

or maybe its a new med

[silent violet]

also the 4 forge bp already had to be split so that was never in consideration anyway

[hoary crag]

I love how we measure factory complexity based on the battery formulas alone

same goes for valley 4

tho buck cap A is also a competitor in V4

[bright zodiac]

the lowest 30/m xiranite should be 21x19 iirc? (with plants, modular)

it barely contain any unused tile, in terms of compact, its probably best. but it defo dont have aesthetically looking good, but its compact af

[subtle finch]

look above you

[silent violet]

nah pretty sure 25x15 is smallest footprint

[hoary crag]

25x15 is the smallest we have so far

tho if you add a protocol stash for the excess sandleaf then things could get complicated

[subtle finch]

this feels like minecraft redstone all over again

[bright zodiac]

i thought its small enough

[silent violet]

pretty sure 16x23 is possible

[bright zodiac]

the size of plants is just cringe tbh

to add the salt, the piping of forge + wuling plant unit

[subtle finch]

im more into symmetry and complete production chain

[silent violet]

i had a go at 16x23 a long time ago and just couldnt get it powered but if you gave it more time you could probably crack it

[hoary crag]

ah yes

spending hours to make a very compact production line

only to forget to spare some space for the pylons

[viscid plover]

[bright zodiac]

when 1.1 drop, i just drop this, it fills whole AIC core width perfectly (20 tiles x4)

• also, what is pipe<3

i tried to optimize things but meh, ever since i drop that, i barely redesign whole base bcs i knew we will redesign it again in 1.2

[subtle finch]

that is my first base lol, i blocked the entrace and have to go around to send water to other units

[bright zodiac]

if i use less conduit, it will show more pipe but yeah... -2 facility , lmao

[hoary crag]

I mean I don't like conduits in aic area anyway

you lose your right to easy swaps

plus visible pipes are so much cooler

[subtle finch]

okay, i just confirmed that this type of prio system has nothing to do with splitters taking higher/lower priority
its only the fact that they're not both belts. whichever is placed last will take last priority

careful when you have this kind of stuff in your bp

might need to manually place them again

@dreamy jungle this was also the case with the water issue i had before, i didn't mention its related to blueprint

[dreamy jungle]

This game is weird

[fervent lodge]

hg please fix

it was a neat trick but if it's inconsistent to placement order.....

[pulsar cypress]

Back to basic..
Dont use any splitter and converger..

[ruby sorrel]

use stashes and crucibles as splitter/converger

[pulsar cypress]

Noooo.. Not neat looking..

[ruby sorrel]

if that's not neat you don't wanna see what I've done

[pulsar cypress]

Plumbing is art..
