belts work like that, something similar might happen with the pipes

keen river
#

nah, i think ๐Ÿค”

#

it might be due to crucible being powered down?

rare moon
#

funny things

keen river
#

hmm

gentle sentinel
#

Okay, how did we jump to crucible?

keen river
#

or maybe not, now i cant reproduce it properly

#

wtf

storm garnet
#

sometimes it could just be an abnormal bug

#

making a bp, deleting and rebuilding might fix it

keen river
#

might be

tired burrow
#

Can you already start producing Xiranite Jade Gourds?

rugged gulch
#

5d10h till phase 2 and jade gourds.

pulsar willow
keen river
#

oddly enough

#

once i have fixed that part, other old assemmbly has failed

#

wf

rare moon
#

Could preprep heavy xiranite after you're done with part 1

keen river
#

now somehow this crucible is no getting enough acid

#

even through top pipe is connected to two pumps

rare moon
#

Too much split

#

They're not equal

rugged gulch
#

Should be preping heavy and hetonite now. cause you can still buy phase 1 stuff during phase 2.

pulsar willow
rare moon
#

Oh thats a converger

rare moon
rugged gulch
#

sure, but bit of a waste. Better to stock up and make jade. Sure make what gourds you can now, but don't hurt heavy production to do it.

keen river
#

this appears to work

#

its filled up, no problem there

#

this thing was working for past week or two

#

just today broke when i started to tweak the sewage earlier

#

somehow :

#

i think they might have some sort of memory corruption or a bug in their sim

gentle sentinel
#

Feed us full factory PerliFumo

silent canyon
#

How are y'all splitting your cuprium right now?
Is it all going to Hetonite? Medicine?

candid radish
#

gonna be real, i never encountered any such bugs and i kind of suspect skill issue in those who regularly do

silent canyon
#

I think since I wanna save a stockpile of heavy Xiranite I'm pausing production of hetonite and going med

candid radish
#

but phase 2 needs hetonite too

rugged gulch
#

still need hetonite for jade gourds.

silent canyon
#

I got 2 Xiranite going towards xircon, 1 going towards heavy Xiranite, and 3 for gourds

rare moon
#

When you have 2 acid going in 2 acid is going out so the last crucible uses 1. It will then fill up so it forces 1 to go out instead of 2 when its filled. So then the first crucible can start using it

silent canyon
#

Ah jade gourds need hetonite too? Raw or the parts?

keen river
#

nothing really special here tbh

candid radish
#

raw

silent canyon
#

Cause I have a lot of hetonite parts but no raw

#

Damn

keen river
candid radish
#

this works fine

gentle sentinel
candid radish
#

i wouldnt send an end product through reactors

keen river
#

no reason not to tbh

#

no idea

#

its functionally equivalent to what i had earlier

#

and it works somehow

#

just one less splitter on the incoming pipe

#

no clue why earlier one failed

gentle sentinel
#

From this part, it's the water

candid radish
#

also seems sus to route the outgoing oil back into the input

keen river
#

this works by design

candid radish
#

i have one oil pump feeding two reactors to capacity, so i dont understand how you would be able to spend the outgoing oil like that without clogging, but sure

#

it does seem to be a pipe with little content visually

gentle sentinel
candid radish
#

so it seems to work

#

just not sure how

keen river
#

the merger is supposed to be fair

#

crucibles use 2 acid and output 1, so you should be always eating one acid from boths ides of merger

candid radish
#

right, if convergers take turns like that then sure

keen river
#

this works for sure, my whole wuling base is based around this

#

water loops back to iself etc

#

otherwise you need to dump it back to river

#

it mus have been some weird interaction between all the splitters/mergers nearby honestly ๐Ÿ˜

#

there are some weird bugs with them so maybe its one of those cases

#

where they try to act like priority based on build order etc

rugged gulch
#

since acid/water is unlimited i just dump them. No worry about weird interactions backing stuff up.

ruby sorrel
#

wow my pipes are in stripy phase again, I need to stop testing in prod I keep randomly bricking my SC output cus I don't have xircon buffer

fickle granite
#

So I've been thinking about going back and purifying my inert xircon but i don't know what to use the extra fluid on. Like I could save a line of xiranite but idk why I would bother. It seems like there's nothing to really do with it. I could make more gourds for the event I guess?

ruby sorrel
#

you don't save a whole line of xiranite unless you have a use for the eff anyways

fickle granite
#

ya i was thinking about this all wrong. nvm i would just have to use the eff straight up for something.

ruby sorrel
#

well that's not exactly right, because either way you only save 1/5 of the original xiranite cost

#

it's just when you run 1heavy+2SC you need 5 lines and save 1 line

#

so there's no fractions

fickle granite
#

okay so you infuse the purified eff into the forge for heavy xira i guess?

#

my heavy and sc battery are in different areas

ruby sorrel
#

I just mean that's one option where the 1/5 savings look like it saves 1 line cleanly because 1/5 of 5 is 1

tall tangle
#

PerliDerp hopefully close enough

ruby sorrel
#

currently I'm not running any hxira so I'm just backfeeding it into xircon

fickle granite
#

i did that but then i realize everything was already running at full flow so it just clogged up the line

ruby sorrel
#

yeah there's weird quirks that somehow let it work by just clogging instead of micromanaging ratios

subtle finch
ruby sorrel
#

I still don't understand the water prio

#

adding convergers to the input breaks prio

#

merging via converger breaks prio cus it's real roundrobin

#

I think you were right about lower flow rate being prio somehow

#

cus when I had to refill one of the other crucibles with water it reversed prio

#

still can't explain the inert output+water merge on bottom right

#

maybe it'd break if the converger was facing bottom towards crucible

#

it seems as long as I don't brick the whole system by clogging purification with inert the whole thing will restabilise by itself though

fickle granite
#

wth is this? how is that even possible.

ruby sorrel
#

it's a mystery, so bottom is the water main after 1/2 split so it's nominally 1/s, but the waterpipe is overall clogged so it can be assumed it wants to output more than 1/s, then it splits half into bottom left crucible and up into a converger with inert output, bridge, splitter, converge back to input into crucible

#

presumably the side inputs of a converger have higher prio cus the inert is never clogged and everything makes it into the top left crucible as expected

rare moon
fickle granite
#

incredible

ruby sorrel
#

technically I don't think I need 2 pipes out of the splitter, but it looks nice

#

since a combined flow of 1/s should be able to take turns in 2m of pipe without backing up

#

I think 4m was giving me trouble though

tall tangle
# rare moon

yeah. i thought it would be possible to make cute caleidoscope with pipes and splitters, but too much work demotivates

rare moon
#

things to do when you have 0 facility space

#

crazy pipes logistics dont count as facility but belt logistics do

ruby sorrel
#

everything should be separated tbh

#

also for some reason the bottom right crucible prioritises taking xiranite from the right input, is that just a thing?

keen river
#

There are some weird bugs

frozen thicket
#

๐Ÿ’”

keen river
#

If you scroll a bit i had a bug where sewage wouldnt pass through 2 splitters at full rate somehow

#

Fixed it by rebuilding but this caused other part of factory to fail

#

No clue

#

Maybe the resolution order is unpredictable / based on some hash and it fails in some weird way

ruby sorrel
#

actually what's the output rate on fluid tanks?

reef horizon
#

does anybody have a ~5.82k battery system

keen river
gentle sentinel
#

Why is there 2 xircon PerliDerp

iron stratus
keen river
#

If you teether 2/s pipe though a tank it wont fill

winged oriole
tall tangle
#

that likely happen in a pause in between xir reached 0 and new one crafted. game likely wont clear recipe from building unless close/open or new stuff coming in

#

similar to that behaviour

winged oriole
#

Yeah probably something to do with sub cycle timing

#

I created more work for myself later when I need to tear these all down 1 by 1. But, I get to produce 4 more gourds a minute sometimes without interrupting battery production so surely it's all worth it right guys

ruby sorrel
#

the heck are those

#

how do you get extra liquid everywhere

winged oriole
#

it's all xircon effluent

ruby sorrel
#

but why?

shadow void
#

do you have bottles to put it in?

winged oriole
#

so I can shut off xiranite into two of the xircon reactors and use this instead for 14 hours a day

ruby sorrel
#

just backfeed it and don't use the extra xiranite in the first place

shadow void
#

Dang, 14 days huh

iron stratus
#

you dont need to use extra xiranite

#

unless you dont have much hxira stockpiled

winged oriole
#

Hmm maybe if I only run xircon in one of the reactors it'd work out

#

I didn't want to deal with sewage fractions

ruby sorrel
#

but running xircon in all reactors is how you get sewage fractions PerliWheeze

winged oriole
#

no it's either no sewage consumption/production or 1 for 1

#

in the setup I had going

split portal
#

what do i do with excess cuprium when making xircon effluent?

floral basin
#

today i realize i dont need liquid xiranite for effluent anymore i can just convert all the sewage into it

alpine thunder
floral basin
#

oh wait i see the color wrong its inert xircon effluent its 2 different things and you are right u still need liquid xiranite GilbSleep

#

my xiranite will never be free from this lol

rare moon
#

bro is color blind

peak sinew
#

I love this stupid day 1 build

river wadi
peak sinew
#

โ˜๏ธ clogged mean good

#

always full

river wadi
#

are you getting 120 xiranite per min tho

peak sinew
#

no ideal

reef horizon
#

is there any reasoning to keep heavy xira going?, i stopped making LC batteries and halved my heavy xira, but if i wanna make 6/m gourds i have to half heavy xira completely

#

dont mind the battery consumption

thorny galleon
#

With the Expanded Crucible, can I make my Xircon Effluent all in one crucible? i.e., feed Water, Sewage, and Xircon into the same Expanded Crucible?

#

Phew, I remember borking my system before by trying to passthrough sewage through whatever was mixing water/xyranite

#

What are the new max yields in Wuling? Asking, since I dunno if I want to spend a couple hours now to rework my factories, or if I should slap something together

..Oh, and there's the event. I guess I should divert some xyranite to that?

upper fiber
ancient charm
upper fiber
#

example?

reef horizon
#

i bottled xircon, transferred it and unpackaged it and used it to make heavy xira 6/m and some LC batteries

thin tinsel
#

Anyone got codes for a self sustaining xiranite gourd factory?

reef horizon
#

but due to gourds being a thing, i expect it to be better to cut that in its entirety, cut heavy xira, cut LC and only make gourds

#

if im wrong let me know

ruby sorrel
#

depends if you plan on burning hxira stash next week

upper fiber
#

if you can handle the extra xircon eff, yeah just turn it off

reef horizon
#

whats there to handle

ruby sorrel
#

just use it

upper fiber
#

yeah, either waste or bottling them

hoary crag
#

lol

upper fiber
#

imagine purify inert then water treatment the xircon eff, i can't

hoary crag
#

for me I put my h-xir production down to 3/min

ruby sorrel
#

technically it's still less power but yeah that's just funny

reef horizon
#

use it for what?

#

if i use it for 3/m heavy xira then i bottle my gourds to 3/m instead of 6/m

ruby sorrel
#

if you're making inert it means you're making eff, so you clearly have a use for eff

#

so just use it and save xiranite

hoary crag
#

assuming you're only using xiranite for sc batteries, heavy xir, and gourds

ruby sorrel
#

instead of whatever trashing/bottling business

reef horizon
#

i was using xira for LC/Hxir/SC/gourds and was limited to 3/m but i suppose i can cut the LC

hoary crag
#

yeah I cut my LC prod for this

#

did they ever tell us what LC/SC/HC means?

I just have this headcanon that it just means low/standard/high capacity

reef horizon
#

so basically you're saying to just keep using this but lower gourds to 4/m

hoary crag
#

also slow down hetonite part production

#

the jade gourds also need raw hetonite

ruby sorrel
#

if you just toss the eff from purification that's throwing out 16% of the eff you can produce per xiranite... funny numbers

reef horizon
#

is there another part

hoary crag
reef horizon
#

oh i see

hoary crag
#

it's also what we need to sell for trimmed medal

oh reserve

wispy grove

dont cut anything

reef horizon

i mean i jkust dont want it running out while im asleep

wispy grove
reef horizon

Meh its fine

wispy grove

for example i have 23123 xira and im using 2 unloaders

23123/(2x1800) = 6.42 hrs left

hoary crag

oh i keep forgetting how easy the ratios are lmao

ruby sorrel

remember proper balancing if using funny input ratios though

wispy grove

me using 2/min gourdPerliOK PerliWheeze

hoary crag

lmao

wispy grove
#

i dont have xira reserves

#

sadly

hoary crag
#

welp

ruby sorrel
#

deliberately not using reserves PerliWheeze

hoary crag
#

tho that means your h-xira is at 6/min, right?

wispy grove
#

yup

#

i wont rix my heavy xira for xira gourd

hoary crag
wispy grove
#

2/min will take me less that 12 days to clear the whole shop

#

and thats good enough for me

ruby sorrel
#

4 stashes ๐Ÿ’€

wispy grove

im more focused on min maxhing heavy xira mre

hoary crag

protocol stash plushie when

#

I kinda want it to be smth like that claymore plushie

#

wait

ruby sorrel
#

tbf with event my power went up 1 threshold and now I'm so far from it I could use like 24 stashes or sth

hoary crag

imagine this but protocol stash

#

would buy

# hoary crag

I would like please. I just broke up with my gf. Friendly claymore

valid gazelle
#

man even if its event .. it just feels wrong to axe a production line for this..

my 12 batteries per min

valid gazelle
thorny galleon
#

So the Heavy Xyranite uses the Forge of the Sky, right?
What's the current optimum ratio of Forges for Xyranite vs Heavy Xyranite?

upper fiber
#

0 heavy

valid gazelle
#

with the event its.. idk how to actually optimize it but im running 8 to 0

thorny galleon
#

Neat-o

For the event, I think I'll do 8 xiranites, with 6 going into gourds and the last 2 feeding into a battery setup

valid gazelle
#

ye im running it like that too

thorny galleon
#

Now then.. gotta figure out how to make my xiranite stuff a little compact. It's eating a little too much space with my blueprint being 15x32

valid gazelle
#

that's big ?

#

15x32 for a single line ?

thorny galleon
#

Yeah.. I have a lot of empty space

valid gazelle
#

ooooooh

valid gazelle
#

the only difference is that i put the planters vertical, so they are longer, but i make another line end to end to make it a double line

#

squeeze it down to 13x60 (longer) but its double

short plover
#

i've placed the factories meant for 1.1 that produce 12 sc batteries/min, but i can't even reach 400 originium yield. What am I supposed to do with this? The only solution left is to disable 3-4 depot outlets, all ore deposits are mined and surely type of mining rig doesn't matter.

valid gazelle
thorny galleon
#

You don't have enough originium ore rigs

#

Or your development level isn't high enough

valid gazelle
#

so now you need higher development levels

#

or some of your rig is missing

valid gazelle
#

go

#

we have an extra 30/m xira from saccing heavy xira and converting that forge to make xira, what the setup for the splitters to have the xira line split 2:1?

thorny galleon
#

Xiranite requires an obscene amount of space to make ๐Ÿ˜ญ

valid gazelle
#

wdymmmmmm

thorny galleon

I think I'll need to dedicate over half of my main AIC area to xiranite ;-;

you want a ... close up screenshot so you can build the same ?

i should be using ENKA

#

#

here you go

thorny galleon
#

Alright, shortened it to 15x28 without the pipes. WIth pipes it's 16x29

valid gazelle
#

that conduit requires 2 pumps

#

along with the forbidden snek ๐Ÿ technique

thorny galleon
#

What's the area of your design for 2 xiranites?

valid gazelle
#

13x60

#

its long

#

but its modular

wispy grove
thorny galleon
#

Your design.. still superior to my slightly adjusted one. Makes ense, considering I still have my large gaps

#

..Does your design not fit in one blueprint?

valid gazelle
#

nah there is no inferior or superior design. It's the one that fits and the one that doesnt

valid gazelle
#

its 13x__60__

thorny galleon
#

Darn, so 50 is the limit

valid gazelle
#

but in my bps i made sure to have them fit like a jigsaw

#

so those who use it wont get it wrong

thorny galleon
#

Hm.. is yours symmetrical except for the protocol stash and conduit?

valid gazelle
#

yep but in a way they are symmetrical enough

#

tile-able too

thorny galleon
#

Cool, so I'll make one half, save it, and hope future me remember how the protocol stash is supposed to look like

valid gazelle

does anyone know why an Expanded Crucible will clog, when it should output all the components in the cycle? it takes up an extra six seconds to do the four second process of making hetonite, making the entire process take ten seconds.

I think it's a reasonable expectation that eventually we'll get A-level battery that uses hetonite and heavy xiranite

it's not much savings on ori nodes

# twin oak hi is anyone willing to help a newbie in getting wuling factory up and running? ...
  • import hc battery from valley4, about 20k should do for starting.
  • start with producing xiranite, if you already research till 8 forges, deploy all of them ( i think you can only deploy 2 at 1st due to no xiranite production, reward from aic training )
  • once your xiranite production is up and running, make sure all mining spot get mining rig.
  • then start making cuprium part, stack a bit, change all mining rig with hydro rig to reduce power usage.
  • meanwhile focus on making item for event, it will cost you 3 xiranite line for 6/m

once stabilize , can start making lc battery to trade at outpost until your outpost upgraded and can trade better product.

if you have 8 forges unlocked, the easiest thing to do is to just go for 16/min gourds

do 1 import every 30 days

if about stacking, stack LC bat so when new sub pac introduced, can do very fast upgrade in case new sub pac won't receive SC bat at lvl 1.

Modular factories look nice but they cant be compact
Optimized factories are super compact, but they cant look as nice or symmetrical

dense blade

by overcompacting marker stone

vale topaz
#

yeah and the limit remain invisible ..
why are they doing that .
.

dense blade
#

over modular

#

modular sucks bc it runs from unloaders

sterile stratus

straight from production is more easy to tune

shadow void
#

I like having space to do other things

dense blade
#

also easy to spot bugs

sterile stratus

makes sense

valid gazelle
#

its either performance or aesthetics ~ you cant ask for both ~

dense blade
#

if itโ€™s straight from production

#

even a bit of production delay fries everything

green sleet
#

Have they mentioned changing the seperator to let us pick which output we want for liquids? I thought it was kind of annoying that they did it that way

dense blade

and you immediately notice the bugs

so optimized bases are harder to build.. a goldfish brain like mine can only do modular

but then again.. not optimized

look at my protocol stashes being clogged by a trillion sandleaf powder

it also started on my yazhen plantation aswell

now slapped them all in , seems fixed it for now
