Fair point. Steady as she goes, then.
You make like an extra battery or two per minute if you bother to set it up now, probably would be more useful in the coming patches.
hey, at the very least it gets rid of sewage without consuming 50 power per 1 sewage/2 seconds
we get so little the rate is more like 1 battery per hour
Thankfully i don't price my life low enough to care about min maxing power in factorio game
At the low low cost of protocol spots for conduits lol
fair, but my numbers say its a steady 13/m
just from that effluent?
yeah
also, aic report can't handle decimals
yes and no, in a constant rate of 6/min (6 sewage sources)
takes aprox 9.5 days to get 82 000 units of effluent
which allows you to process up to 16 400 heavy xiranite
i mean I've seen it go up to 14/m so its between 13 and 14
which you can bottle up and use whenever you want, be it weekly or whatever
i don't know the math for it, I just did it
Its not too hard to set up, albeit its a bit messy
are you feeding that extra xircon directly to the packager or using depot in between?
i guess it's not zero
now i want to do the math for 7.5 rate...
a bit.
I feed Test Site's Effluent directly to the Xircon Crucible
Inert Effluent from 2nd Heavy Xiranite Production gets purified and sent to Xircon Crucible
Xircon Sewage gets pumped back to Test Site
holy spaguetti
ok, then you get more than just the purified effluent, you also use inert
I mean Waste Treatment and Purfiication takes the same amount of power, just more footprint which I have plenty of
Every fluent use is like 30-60/m so yea i am happy to combine 12 sources of sewage and bring 3 pipes across entire wuling to run something at 20% of fluent needed
just so you guys know, with 4/s sewage purified, the effluent we get let us make 0.125/min sc batteries
extreme speed!
there are 3 routes, thats the shortest (230m, like 3 zips)
i hate that they always put this mission at the last week
easy to do, but i have to remember to do it on purpose
i hate that it doesn't count for how much you actually sell, just that you do it 10 times
max yield + usage for valley iv?
looks like im using too much xiranite now
in total how much effluent we make? 193/min?
about 193 yeah
i like how space can now be a constraint if you're not careful when planning or building, 12 sky forges are quite hungry for real estate
is there a way to create Heavy Xirenite without clogging?
yeah, are you clogging on sewage, water or inert effluent
you should try to reuse all of your stuff, but otherwise you can just dump all the stuff into a water treatment unit
it's fine if you have a somewhat efficient 3 forge blueprint to spam.
yeahh optimizing for footprint is the one thing I focus on, bonus points: you modify your factory less each patch
lowkey i wish they increased the limit... i want to clear the whole list
i got 10 forges making normal xiranite, all of them are single blueprint, and i even store the surplus sandleaf powder for the batteries and for the delivery dailies
rate my 5/24 splitter chat
tbh the water treatment sector feels kinda underwhelming, it was annoying to reroute all my sewage and then do all that piping for so little in return
you get to save power
Yay my core aic now fit 8 forge at full efficiency
yeah you save like at minimum 250 power
so I have 40 xiranite, 60 originium and a metatransfer, how to use up 100%? 
i had to move all my cuprium refining to the core AIC area along with the xiranite forges, i only ended up running into building limits for wuling city...
Now how the hell can i make it 10 forge with out imploding it
that place needs a higher limit
Protocol Space is such an unneceesary constraint
finish additonal dragging from the maker to test site also make it save up to 300 power at the cost of your sanity

could it be cause my purity isnt max? i think i have all rigs
nah, drag acid from test area
be like me and pipe it all the way from marker to test area
only the criminally insane would do this
trust me it's not that hard
well, you get some effluent, almost enough for that 1/4th of a battery factory that you can make with your whoping 60 originium surplus, lol
when you actually get down to it
indeed
you should bottle acid
then separate it at main instead
yes
or you know, just use the cardiac AIC for hetonite and call it a day
Yup pipe length is 80m then you add a pipesplitter and continue. Very similar to connecting relay towers in valley 4
i would want to drag acid from test area, only if not for 512 limit
Pipes use a different limit
128 iirc
my test area makes all the xircon and hetonite, i like it that way, lol
you're even sewage neutral if you make a single cuprium refiner there
All your originium should go towards batteries, and it'll use up most of your xiranite. you can meta transfer dense orignium powders. You won't need a lot of xiranite components unless you plan on artificing soon, since as soon as your base upgrade you'll swap to a different items.
All my cuprium is refined in the main AIC so I don't waste a drop.
Cardiac exists to make hjetonite and hold my random sandleaf farms
Jingyu Valley is forever sentenced to making 7 forges of Xiranite
I'm only 4k xira components want more
I made 48k and haven't looked back
wait do we get an outpost here at the test area?? 
Do I have to touch the purification node to make 18/m hxira?
Also lc bat is for if we get a new outpost for earlier levels
No, it feels like there's supposed to be one though
I made 45k xira comps but it dropped to 22k recently
Nah, gotta pull power from wuling city
sorry i got the name mixed, i meant marker stone
for some reason i still think of the marker stone as the "new area" lol
everyone i know first said only insane ppl dragging sewage to test area
they all end up insane in the end
hmm, anyone got similar issues now where sometimes one crucible just produces too much sewage?
thats how meh the whole test area is
after update, wakes up, sees sewage at 50 and battery at 1k
Are u making 15/m xircon with 4 expanded crucibles?
no, how many refineries do you have connected to that crucible
Guys how do I make 18/m hxira 
cmon nothing insane is about it, you get a whole 1 battery per minute!!!
i think you're using the same triple-recipe i am in the extended crucible - if you don't balance things carefully or rmake it impossible to clog on effluent, your sewage will clog in the crucible and brick it permanently, forcing delete + replace
Nope after 1 night my xircon crucibles were the same amounts when i checked on them
have anyone tried to feed inert xircon to purification facility? highly doubtful, but what if secret recipe...
Storage shenanigans 
This is like looking at a doomsday prepper
12k extra storage for hetonite parts heavy xarnite and batteries each
And I have more space to put stuff lol
max purity is at region lvl 11, so if you are not at that lvl, idk the exact numbers
if you make 14 sc and 30 heto per min what item should i meta transfer and what should i manual transfer 
im missing a bit of amethyst and 20 ferrium im lvl 11
check the maps again for places you haven't explored yet, or rigs that are not powered properly
good thing is the map shows all ore nodes
and if you click on them, you can see their status
as in skipping rigs and shit
but then i dont have enough ferium in valley 4
what do i do with the ecess acid some recipes produce?
Squeezed this line in for extra cash
didn't you say you would also do manual transfers
it's the same with ori anyways
Most people just dump whatever byproduct comes out of the purification machines because its annoying to work with
also, fuck v4
how do i dump it? bbecause its cloggin my machines
pipe it to a fluid supply unit into a river or acid pool
it has to be an acid pool
this should give me 1.5 sc/min extra right?
(it does, right?)
i mean if he ends up purifiing inert effluent he gotta dump it to a river
whtas a fluid supply unit??
a building
its 0,75 xircon need 2 effluent 
reverse from a pump
oh yeah I divide it wrong
how are ppl getting 1.5
are they using the leftover xira line too
dont have it, where do i get it
its that machine that dumps liquids back to a source, you used it in the main story
tech tree?
you wanna see mine ?
wait nvm, ig imblind
ye
just for the ratio idea
... it's a forced tutorial from main story..
nah they put it in a weird spot, i forgot it exists too
(no I'm not dragging the xircon back from test site it's cursed)
You shouldn't assume gacha players to know basics
I mean the misc. section is a fair place to put it
tbh i make 14~15/min battery from test area effluent 
gacha players don't read
I have 30, but up to 60 xircon/min
6/min xircon effluent is gonna usable somehow
i would be upset about this if i could read it
I run 4 expanded, 2 refiner connected to the first 2
yeah for the 3rd and 4th I am running triple
for SC
1.2/min bats
You should be fine if you're pumping out your effluents correctly
for xira comps yes
If you see sewage produced faster than you wanted for (and cause the clog and factory fail), do split-water treatment for fail safe
I'm talking SCW tho
yeah that
normally 2 lines of xira requires 8 lines of origin
yeah that
good luck replicating this 
it is always one, I am going to see how the balance goes, so far a nightmare after the update, preupdate? no issues
what the fuck is this
i hope this abysmal not in core aic
the absolute cluster fuck i made
well, if you feel bug. then just "let's see & wait" situation. Since i also got the same case that sewage produced faster than it should
from hxira maker that feed inert to purifier with the output combined with test site effluent feed into 2,5~2,75 sc batteries
POV:
A new endfield patch dropped
fr
Yeah I'm doing the same and I'm shocked you can somehow make it more spaghetti looking than mine
i move all 7 xiranite into tang tang sub aic
is earthquake actual lore canon every month ? lmao
footprint maxing prevents this babyyyyy
ah i do 1 hxira with free efluent from 12/ min xircon maker
missing aftermath: tangtang's inventory completely filled with random shit
pow: you logged out
Sadly only works with sewage
Theres an upgrade that allows crucibles to do 2 recipes at the same time, can tehy be of the same object?
no
No, the expanded crucible allows you to perform 3 different recipes at once, but not multiple of the same recipe
I dont get it, are we supposed to build here?
Biggest downside to expanded crucible to me
its not recommended to do anything in this area, at least for now
only for hardcorer
we dont need it atm
other than 1 side quest currently
you can make 2 recipes at once on the normal reactor crucible too btw
biggest downside imo is that u can only let 1 non fluid out....cant make like heteronite + battery or sth idk why
just less space for materials
oh yeah, draining 8000 sewage, and thats all
I mean I appreciate it, gets rid of at minimum 2 crucibles in most recipes
TIL you can only metatransfer one item at a time
what do u even use it for despite of batteries + efluent?
meta-ing a bit of ferrium and then use the rest for dense ori would be interesting
Hetonite
ugh i dont wanna re-adjust my aic for the extra skyforges and to remove my event build things.
Yeah just wish it's operations were more flexible or up to the player also like more in/out pipes or something
but cant u just use the normal one, whats the difference
8 crucibles instead of 9
so less space
if you have the space, you might as well use 9 though
Sorry i feel stupid am i actually supposed to carry sewage all the way from the main map or whatever to the Test area? 
ye I see ๐ well its a small bonus...
or 4 instead of 5 if only making 15/min heto btw
I think this works
you need to fill 1 bottle with sewage, go there, empty it, go back, repeat
If you want to roleplay/bored sure but it doesn't feel worth right now
Iยดm just using 3 lmao, focus on money with jincao tea and just do liquid heavy + heteronite parts on side slowly
If you need to save 300 power then you can
its not too hard, but the effort isnt worth it really
Its pretty handy and saves power most often
btw idk what kind of magic this water pipe is but i cant complain 
So it can be ignored basically? 
So far I've thrown down a stash and threw in some bottles filled with sewage and the output was very disappointing. Unless they're planning to give us sewage problems 
pipes are 80m and it's really simialr to connecting relay towers from the hub to the quarry or science park to lodespring.
if you use more than 6.6k energy, you shouldn't
pipes are 200 meters tho
you mean conduits?
the magic shown when you use 3D pov
damn that looks clean
the main thing with the test area is the free sewage elimination, the extra effluent is just a bonus
you can ignore the effluent if you want
if you're crazy enough can you pipe all your sweage from all 3 outposts
Mhhh
but won't I use like... lots of energy to carry sewage there anyways?
Yeah pipes are higher than the depots
it realistically saves you like 400 energy max
no? conduits don't use energy
this pipe can only hold 5 units of liquids and it's 5 tiles long. max pipelength can hold 80 so it's 80tiles/m long

3-4 manifold on wuling + 2 manifold on tes area
Ohhh! I thought they did
good to know
i mean yeah,, but why would you use pipes to connect to the test area
this is mine ๐
when you can use conduits for same thing
Magical bridges
protocol capacity
the only reason the devs added the manifold to 1.2 is cause of the test area
i have no idea what you have to do to exhaust it tbh
though it was also good for getting acid to the main aic
was at 347 when i started piping to test area
i am in "almost maxed protocol capacity" trenchess
though its 341 now cause it was from deleting extra fluid pumps since event gourds used quite a bit of them
very liberal use of depot unloaders lol
essence+farm+zipline network does that
have you been bestowed the knowledge of battery powered turrets
but yeah, i guess if you put towers on the alluvium that would matter
go use the environment center route 
and conduit inlets+fluid pumps for water
before v after
love it when a cleanup turns out well on the first try (^.^)
(I think? I hope the factory doesn't explode on me again overnight because the sewage disapoofed ๐คฃ)
aint Zipline eat 3 protocol cap each
where are you even ziplining tho

i have ziplines for all relevant places already
your factory exploding after you do a big cleanup always sucks
how to even measure how much xir effu you gain from recycling all the sewage 
Can't wait for the magic behind water treatment to be revealed and it suddenly goes to the test area water treatment. 
piping is pretty fast either way
just conduit huge changes in altitude
pipe is jsut hold ALT while moving with the mouse
make straight line pipes
xir effu back to main aic took like 10 minutes
gases 
can't really get it from there, you just have to get the 30:1 ratio and math your real sewage generation going there from the aic
just count how much sewage are you using and thats about it
absolute "almost max protocol" trenches 
for your own sanity please use conduits 
All they need to do to fix our problems is just change a infinite acid pool to an infinite sewage pool
i cant, my protocol already limited in wuling
reminder that you need at least 2 pipes of sewage going to the test area if you don't use a manifold
u cant spaare 12-16 proto cap?
optimal would be 3, but no need to future proof when we don't know shit
Rip this user
only 10 left .... already use 8 for this conduits
splitter and bridge count into the 512 map limit too
use this rouote
belt splitters yes, pipes not
pipes have their own limit, splitters included
it cost 10 protocol last time i count 
1152 is total limit though, normal belts included, so don't put too many anyways
nah isnt for sure
Im morbidly curious what your map looks like to be that hard off for protocol space lol
i think i can down it to 6 if i want to manual piping there but 1152 
How many pipe manifolds does it take? 4?
you should be able to reach the test area with only 3 hops no?
at least as far as i can tell
my setup uses 4 hops
not that hard to max it if you have ziplines, turrets, and the eco-farm all set up
at least 4 i think
yeah possible with 3 hops
hops in the test area itself don't matter
yeah
you could even say you get half for free since you hop inside it
My setup uses 3 hops, shame 2 hops isn't possible
3hops
unless you pipe all way in here
its still cost 8
yes 
nah, just 1 more going there

also, delete farm
i have 3 pair, acid sewage n effluent
how about delete your account ? will NEVER delete farm
if you are dragging two pipes, why arent you using double conduit anyway
does it cost twice as much?
btw extruem, on this side possible with manual piping?
dats already manifold, i drag 3 type fluid
going inside, 3 pipes is the max
no conduits i mean

the stairs here are diabolical

and the entrance to the courtyard is also diabolical
that place counts you as if you are putting things on the cave below, and checks the height like that
hmm i thought reddit posts embededs the videos before
but it's possible to put things there, i have it
theoretically that sewage line in should be 7.5/min (quarter of a line) but 15/min (half a line) should be fine right?
it'll just take until it clogs?
(I split that line from one cuprium, it has a water treatment)
btw how to transfer conduits?
teleport?
i think they need to be youtube links on the reddit post
Trolled by 2 red x's
WHat can I do with the xiolent fluent from the new area?
yes, zipline tech
unfortunate, hoped i could build a cleaner power line, but alas
no luck
meh too lazy to do that
but its efficient
just use a pylon as an intermediate, as long as the rest are relays, it counts the same way as a relay
already have tiny pylons on the normal side
but hoped i could just run over the hill, but it wont look better anyway
oh well
Goood enough for now
Current Maximum Wuling RDM ?
We're hoping
drops down a mini-Pac just for the test area
where i can get calculation sheet 
you need to make it yourself sadly
devs are lacking in qol smh
there no formated one?
well, got myself two extra hilltop ziplines thanks to wonder of shared ziplines
sheets are unique to each person, if you share one, god sends a lightning to you
there is a way to teleport https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osJh24l4H8Q , the concept apply to conduit line also
It's like a portable version of the TP technique to connect relays using TP points to save the connection. This advanced tech lets you use that even when there is no TP point to use, but it still doesn't work everywhere, and takes ingenuity to set up, but you'll have your friends flabbergasted how you pulled this off.
where are thsoe two exactly? ๐
Making the sheet is the fun part 
i don't make sheets, i just use a calculator and my head
and get it wrong, but i get it somewhere
Wulling doesn't give you a lot of space does it to max out your factories. Valley 4 you can do most of your maxed out factory in just the starting zone. 
Its time to drag sewage from Markerstone to the Test Site.
are you on eu server?
no ๐ฅบ
how does the zipline location looks like?
rip ๐
that looks cool
u can go from monitoring center to test area using it :)
Yeah I kinda feel if the next update has even more resources to gather. They'll have to give us a new factory area as well. That or everyone will have to make near perfect factories in terms of space to resource output. 
u dont need that zipline to go inbetween lol is short enough to travel across
Can I do anything with this?
yes but have you considered: parkour ziplines are neat? :)
From what I understand, most people are saving that new zone is pretty redundant rn. 
yeah, but i also value how beneficent that zipline can serve, we have limited zipline after all
As of currently, you get to make an whole extra 1 battery per minute. Though its 100% likely they're going to do more in the future with it is it wouldn't hurt to start now
i just unlocked ferrium mining what should i do now?
But how do I transport it to my base?
btw u still want that 2 mountain zipline? i can share it to you
Build the Great Wuling Pipeline
yes please, I'm on NA server tho
ah... i thought u are in asia rip
someone eli5 what is pipe prio?
np
if you are in NA i can share you the tower
but hey, u can always parkour it yourself up there
its NA/EU one server and asia second and china third
Using condensers and splitters, you can prioritize to feed a liquid into one machine over another.
This allows you to do things such as using purified liquids or create overflow prevention systems
sure please, my ign is Haste, code 6069621879
okay, eli10 then
The 30 sewage to 1 xircon eff feels like a joke sometimes, I'm suspecting sewage was a problem when they were developing test area
time to sacrifice one of the day 1 randos >:)
moving fluids from marker stone to test area is a pain
go through valley, its not too bad
without more ferrium, i don't think we can use it anyways
whats your ign? i ahve a bunch of requests atm bc i was lazy and didnt decline/accept a lot
should be Amelek
For a condenser, the side inputs a prioritized over the bottom/straight input. If you use a splitter you can redirect flow to increase the percentage of liquid that goes through the condenser but still have the utility of diverting excess fluid somewhere else.
This can create backflow systems where you don't have to drain out liquids from a Purifier. Or a system where you have unbalanced liquid ratios you can de-clog systems by diverting excess sewage into sewage treatment
just sent a friend request of my own bc i didnt see yours ๐
ah so I've been doing it without knowing then
for example like this
the left sewage line (the feedback) is prioritized over the bottom (the line split from treatment) yes?
the north one is bit precautious, but seemed like best place to eventually continue
yeah basically, though never seen it done for sewage
One more thing I forgot to mention is that it can allow multiple liquids to go through the same port (though its a bit unstable for offline and thus not reccomended)
ye I do that for 240/m heto
huh
Yeah it works perfectly fine for hetonite
mine
but I'm doing 120/m rn bc I do yazhen A/C
that's the zipline I jsut sent you?
i can show you how to get there lol, its pretty easy parkour
yeah i think i can see the way
i will try to parkour there
looks like fun spot
have my mountaintops worked?
trying one out rn
not gonna rec it for potato device
a single lagspike will kill it

i think this happens if you have a building nearby
Amazing.
or you have 10 shared buildings in the zone, i think that's the max
delete some and try again
they all work, thanks! lmk if you want me to show you the way to that water one
hmm, i will look into it tomorrow
there seem to be the invisible wall on the easy route
about here?
so i guess you went from wuling side?
de-clog systems by diverting excess sewage into sewage treatment
whoa hollup - can you share a simple example of this please? right now I'm sacrificing like 1/16th of my xircon effluent in a way that prevents clogging down the line if it gets clogged... is there a better way?
yeah its basically that route
really weird though because invisible wall above log, but you can do a curve jump with a tall character like pog and avoid drowning
I don't have an example of this cause I haven't gotten it to work but other people have. But Its related to spamming a bunch of splitters
also someone shared me absolutely wicked ziplines
but they are so far no way to access them
yeah that straight line you draw goes through the invisible wall above that fallen log. the goal is to jump around that, temporarily be in danger of drowning, and "swim" fast enough to get to the right side of an udnerwater log, which is shallow enoguh to not die
This is the general idea for Hetonite right?
Ignore how messy the upper part is ๐ญ
pretty much, tho you can daisy chain the crucibles
What does that mean?
you can pipe the hetonite from one into the next, treating it as another pipe rather than emrging them all as you have done
^
Ohhhh I somehow thought about it for the Acid but not for hethonite xD
So like this right? c:
yeah better, but Minako's... so elegant ๐ญ
i need to redo my entire marker stone outpost
my setup is like this
True that is really well planned ๐ญ But it's nice to know endfield allows for some messy factories as well like mine xD
What is the reason for producing so much hetonite though? Do you get to sell it for credits now or...?
oh that's smart. i forgot you could just chain the outputs and inputs for reactors
wymmmm it says 340/350 ๐ฉ
messy setup kek
its the other limit
512 limit includes the ones in aic
but its in new zone
512 limit just counts all buildings and belt logistics stuff
i havent placed anything in the new zone ๐ฉ
bruhhh
if you get a building in your hand as if trying to place it, you can see the line delimiting the zones
they dont let us build enough ๐ฅด
OOOH
i see thank god
around here
you can check with map where you are
it opens to your current map
and other one is shaded
you can also see the faint blue zone boundary when attempting to place stuff
ye thank u so much... i was so confused hahaha
it even has a dedicated error
all that work for 1/8s๐
?
you can see wuling city and monitoring center from test area
but other direction is obscured by fog
oh yeah its kinda weird. weather/lighting changes really abruptly too when you use that zipline on the water too ๐ค
yeah
each zone has its weather and time of day so if you transition outside of cave it happens like this
weather is good in test area and its cloudy in the wuling
one-way fog to maintain secrecy
smart
๐คฃ
you can see the wuling mountains pretty well from that side
what are you guys using the bonus Xicon Effluent on? The ones we get from Purification units
and even see the route to next map
sc
0.125/min
so a 1/8th line of SC batteries?
oh... a 1/48th line lol
they forgot to put trees on those hills since now we can see them
I wonder if we'll be doing something with that water treatment plant
because the amount of sewage you can dump in it vs the effluent it gives back is... ๐ฅด
the testing area still has a sealed southeast corner, maybe... maybe? ๐
unplayable
16.25 Hetonite
5.5 Yazhen [A]
BP is done
next is hard part Xircon and heavy xiranite
water treatment plant is not about the effluent, but about dumping sewage
the effluent is just a small bonus for those who care
that's the point, the energy
you can save up to 300 energy
my base is currently at like 6500 power even with test area connected
350 if you count heto
oh right
i probably could start to burn 2 sc batteries
and that would be like 6800 power?
so eeh
6.6k
i guess it might be more relevant later
you are too close
when we get more factories / more copium
Guys, piping sewage from Marker Stone was not worth the 1 effluent per minute you get
make heto on ur main aic
that requires me piping acid to the main AIC
there is acid on test area
i dragged both main aic and marker stone ๐
much closer than marker
and just connected them near the test area entrance
yes do it, piping acid from test area
wrong
I just refine the cuprium on main aic then let the depot transfer them to marker stone 
I think I'll just keep Hetonite in Test Site, especially since I already did the work of piping out Sewage
kill that witch
bottling acid take too much power
does the manifold divide the input/output equally
or does it keep track of each pipe it is connected to
I did that but only for the liquid heavy xira 
conduits are tanks, they don't care how it gets in
it gets out like a splitter i think
hm
equally in turns
if you connect two it works like a big splitter handling 4 fluid / s
can i connect single with double conduit
you can
if at more than zero, it should be both at the same time
wait, you can?
never tried, i assumed you can't lol
might do that for the last conduit of effluent inside the aic
last base should be the exclusion zone ig
ye
a shame we didn't get to have 3 sub bsaes
wait
we will
surely
new outpost too
For the Forges of the sky, should it be 10 xira, 2 heavy for ratio?
I made 9/3 for noww because too much xira in stock
called it

you can also use two large conduits as big tank that holds 1k fluid and has two inputs and two outputs
but you dont really need that for anything
I just made a 2nd one at first, but then the effluent clogged 
the manifold can take 1k?
inlet + outlet for 500 each
time to refill stockpiles
making hetonite cmop
yeah, its mostly about the ability to take/output double the mount
but its not really super useful
what we use the extra cuprium for?
in theory you could store some excess in tank and then burn it when metatransfer items arrive
but eeh
too much effort
more heto or more syringe
cuprium is the bottleneck on hetonite, so there can't be extra right ?
well there's also ferrium
i do this for liquid cuprium, so it gets merged and balanced before going to the purifiers
ok i make more heto
it's so stupid...
i will make 82k heto comp and die in peace
bro is never using those up in his entire life ๐ฅ
atleast those wont go poof like jades
What are some ways for me to compact this
figured out the issue ๐
I thought 1500 originum is the same as 1500 dense originium powder
for the metatransfer
turns out dense ori is 2x more ori
my final calculation
summary below
magnificent
as long it works loool
sometimes i go to any zone not called wuling city and place a lot of shit out of spite for the building limit
I connected Core AIC Area to Water Treatment Center at Test Area
it turn out only 1:30 efficiency
is it worth it?
You get to make an extra battery or two every minute, not really no but it'll probably be used in later patches
top speed (it's poop)
haven't got too far on the quest for this area, is the water treatment built-in there?
does anyone know how much flow per minute it is for sewage and xircon? I connected several conduits to the dam and was wondering if this is stable
it has a special area with 3 special water treatment units that can treat sewage at whatever rate you can pipe it in to them, and you get a tiny bit if xircon effluent in return
you have to pipe the sewage in from another zone, as there is no outpost there
~ 0.067 per sec xircon (on image. not typo)
does any of u have the zipline on the rooftop of this? in test area
i already know it's possible
it's top left island
so roughly 4 per minute..
should i cut one of the xiranite from the forge then to balance?
i tried to find a way to get there... couldn't... best i've got for you is a cursed zipline on the water from monitoring center to test area
about right. reminder. normal line is 30/min
Can u show it? here or in dms if u prefer
ah come to think of it i can add 2 more corpium lines
i have this atm but one on the roof would fix
sorry doesn't help the case xD
it's not worth it. anyways if you also hoarder don't use the double on the Xircon output.
thanks! maybe ill use that treatment plant if there's a much more closer outpost on the area 
when it's just shy of 110M so you have to cope with an extra zip
why not walk 10 steps?
i don't trust myself to get past this ledge without accidentally jumping
especially when i do these on phone sometimes
why not just add another zipline inbetween
wait nvm ๐
my reading comprehension is too slow
cause i wanna cross the gorge in 1 go cause its coooool
going down iand then ups cringe
scream
Just started the sidequest for the Test Area, and I immediately encounter new ore
I just mathed and revamped my factory goddamnit
what's the new ore? i dont think i've done any side quests...
Just new nodes*, not new ore
that side i'm fully happy for now
Ah, a bit more cuprium, and this is right at the entrance.
I'll go finish out this questline and think if I want to revamp my factory .-.
if you have 240 cuprium and 540 originium, you are fine
180 cuprium and 480 originium 
I should also wait for my regional development to up.. I guess I can do that then revamp my stuff again
Quick question, what goods can you trade when you have max level outposts in Wuling?
max lvl is 3 atm
for both outposts
sc batteries, cuprium and heto parts, and heavy xira are the most notable ones
and the foods
ah, i thought about elastic for some reason
I have very inefficient layout, I just trade cuprium parts, heavy xiranite and LC wuling battery
when lvling up you are limited on what to sell, so that's ok anyways
I just like Valley IV factory more
well, v4 is like a tutorial compared to wuling
what i did is i searched for xiranite bp and rack that up, i trade those if i maxed the capacity of my depot
did some more calculation and turn out it's not worth producing more than 2 heavy xiranite (12/m)
but making sure i still have enough xiranites for batteries
I needed the armor made from cuprium and hetonite parts so I made production line for those
Do we have enough Origi to build a third SC Battery Factory in Wuling now?
SC battery needs 240/min, the new area only added 80/min
and it makes overdose of heavy xiranite and cuprium part so i just sell them
Thanks!!
Just checking, this still requires 2 reactors (150 power instead of 100), to separate the sewage generation from sewage feed, right? because if all-in-one reactor with inert recycle, I'm seeing that xirasewage would need to be fed at 22/min and 11/min, and I don't know if we can do this amount of fluid split
input from anyone else running the bonus 2.75/min SC welcome
Dam thats not even enough for a LC battery factory, such a bummer...
This is for non inert recycling, I made this mistake at first and kept wondering why my sewage and xira were not matched
I actually capped wuling protocol capacity and had to delete some conduits and zips I never needed, went from 350 -> 302.
telepathic flow
is hetonite production still 22 a min?
you can now have 30 per min
oh I like this one, dont suppose you have a BP? I've been wanting to make a double heto
surprisely a relay tower underneath powers this zipline
yes, you've learnt a forbidden explroation technique ;)
What is the profit per ferrium used of hetonite vs wuling battery?
Omg its a tetris player
not sure about exact number, but SC battery bring more profit than Hetonite
this one focus one SC battery
this one focus on hetonite
Inchresting
there are also matter of DOP limitation
o/ did not expect someone from there.
4 xircon line needs 1 sewage/s right
in this patch we dont have enough Ferrium and DOP
ferrium is use to produce
-Xircon
-Hetonite
so we make SC battery as much as DOP can provide, and the rest of Ferrium go to hetonite
tbh i think im gonna cap out on sc bat this update
1 xircon line need 1 extermal sewage
Oh wait FOUR
they require 2 actually but 1 is self cycle
this is 4 right?
๐ production a bit too chaotic for 30 min aic report to be accurate or not, need ot wait for 2 hour one
Looks like 60/min, so 2 lines

I mean u are running it correctly still
Technically providing them enough sewage too (assuming that outlet is 1/s like u said)
in this case 2 line of sewage
pylons and towers have a top radius grid
I love the music
I'm trying to see if it's possible to make a little extra heavy xiranite using the effluent from the Test Area. I've got 7 lines of waste water going into it currently. But I think if I solve for a fractional amount of a xiranite line in a reactor to make some more effluent (so it equals 1 effluent line) I could make more heavy xiranite than just taking the effluent I get now. Thing is, to do so I need to use some of the waste water as well to make the additional effluent, which reduces the recycled amount at the Test Area. Anyone able to weigh in if this math looks right? If I really have to divide by 77 that's totally impractical lol. Just wondering if my calculation was right
it's an absolute mess but at least the forges are deployed
let's get printing! โ๐ค
( yeah, very low HX drain, the hetonite line still needs work I know ๐
)
(( potentially a complete overhaul of all Wuling bases ))
oh, the 4th line is wrong because W is the amount used at the AIC. R is 0.2 + the remainder (scaled by a factor)
i need more origium 
Is there a source of sewage on the map?
I think I need extra to make more Xircon effluent
no
none that are infinite
there are 2 notable pools in the new testing area (~4000) but that's about it
your sewage comes from cuprium refining
finished zipline network to raregrowths+delivery nodes. Also have one from teleport node to essence area.
huh maybe I should split the first zip from depot like that too
are rare friend shared zipline that was very helpful
did not think i can plant a zipline on top of here
nah you can walk up there normally
i need to pay someone to do these shits
there's an aurelyne there lol
yeah but I never knew you could but i saw the path afterwards
You can do 1 line per cuprium line (up to 8) and 1 more if you're turning ALL of your cuprium into hetonite (producing some hetonite will give you a fractional sewage line)
ziplines broke my dige though ๐ im losing 1-2% power each time
save power 
Ah, yes. Thanks for reminding me about that source
I think our plans are the same. Just need to run sewage output from the outpost to main to feed the new Effluent line
Going to check the math on that soon
made some slight changes to an existing double heto and I'm pretty happy with it, I guess it all depends on whether the mustard plow stays stable
I feel like I'm a mcdonalds employee
Yeah I'm re-crunching the numbers. It's definitely not a necessary thing to optimize for but sometimes you gotta play these games to your own rhythm. You know?
This is what I got, where are you getting so much extra xiranite?
aaaa help
That conduit outlet you supposed to use conduit inlet

What is causing this?
are you doing battery packaging unit into thermal bank?
Yeah
Huh what causes it?
the delay it takes for the battery to transfer to the thermal bank
That should theoretically be the right ratio
maybe is teh cause
the dige website tool is pretty damn accurate. 1.7 power diff and it works fine
(1) do we just collect all sewage in one spot at wuling aic and then just one conduit line to test area? there is no pipe capacity issue?
(2) if we fully utilize purification nodes at test area, we can save energy by removing wastewater facility. is that the only benefit?
had to reroute hetonite from stash to aic for 5 power though
If there is no Outpost here, then make one here.
what the-
what are u doing there?
why would you do this 
purification units work outside the aic
M
why are u sending the inert back?
it doesn't make any sense to make lxira pull it to test and then dump eff back, can you get a pic from above
- yes, no
- you get xircon eff after lv4 puri node
how likely do you guys think is
you may need to use the double conduit if you plan to siphon a lot of sewage
they might increase the number of ore deposits in wuling city area
wuling city unlikely
Very not likely
im using hydro rigs on spots with 2 originium deposits lol just in case they add a 3rd or smtn
Wuling City probably wont get any more ore upgrades
Yes switch
pump+splitter
Bottom right is an accident
btw seem max for potion build is 11 hv cant go 12 since it be using 310 xianite
For some reason I remade the previous build and I left it for 2 nights
It doesnโt jam
Bus
I can't tell if this is good or bad
Making Xiron liquid
what's the maximum rate of xircon effluent the refinement node in the test area makes?
1/5s
that's with 6 sewage inputs?
Because i have 0 sanity and the factory must grow

hope you can spend that much
hmm
Oh, you havent bought anything? 

Not really
with valley iv stuff
Yeah, V4 stuff isnt that hard to afford
117 million valley iv bills evaporated in less than a minute
show your income report

How much sandleaf and yazhen do i need in wuling? Is 600/mins too much?
Finally
dang, i was hoping to see 99% red
Finished making bp post
Can anyone share your sandleaf and yazhen usage?
how to do the teleportation pipe tech?
Damn, we have the same number. Thanks you. Thought i made too much of them.
They take too much space
I could be doing more Yahzen if i was making Meds, but i'm making 30 Heto
once i cap Heto Parts and get 10k Heto Comps i'll probably be setting up Yazhen A, or make half Jincao
How many Amethyst do we get in valley 4?
Its enough for 24/m of the C meds
still can't get over ferrium being treated like amethyst in wuling
I split mine like this just because it stores more bills in goods
I just keep mine at 18/min HCV and Buck Cap A
i only have basic stuff and battery in valley4
outpaces outposts even without me making med Cs
19.75/14.5
Hmm, i've never bothered to see how many bills I make taking into account I run Wuling off HCVs from V4
I consume 13.88/m HCV running both V4 and Wuling
so 4.12/m HCV to sell
man they really do not want anyone placing stuff around the ms outpost
Why..... 
assume it gets taken up by an upgrade in the future
Ruan yi getting slammed by Endmin in 30 seconds after making 10 years of plan to destroy wuling
it's funny how it turns out making less HC to power stuff with LC gives more HC to sell
RIP bozo
whats that look like
Oh

19.75 buck 14.5 hc, 4.5hc+12lc for power leaves enough to clear 1st/3rd outposts with buck and 2nd with hc
But doesn't selling LC benefits more ? Or my math is wrong again
otherwise you use too much hc for power to clear a whole outpost
the point was to make a ratio that doesn't require swapping what you sell every week or so
I use 6.47/m in V4 and 7.41/m in Wuling
nah can't do it with 18 18, maybe I was using too much power
i mean i can guess why
i still swapping chen to xaihi though becoz i don't have yvonne...
More like.. those areas are likely to be upgraded along side your Sub PAC so of course they reserved it for those
cus if you spend 16+ buck on first 2 outposts you need to sell 12.24 to last one leaving you with 5.7ish hc to use for power
what about the 24/m C
that's swapping
Don't you notice the outposts getting more and more lively the more upgraded your sub Pac is ?
do anyone have optimal solution to connect pipe from Wuling city to test area that use the less amount of faculties count?
?

ya idk how ppl are doing 18 18 and not swapping trade items
I think lowest possible so far is 4 sets of conduit
no, that is like high af
yeah, n more heavier to load in 
yeah what im saying is that the area is blocked because ugprading the outpost will add more building and stuff, and if you place stuff in the area before upgrading it, it get clipped into the walls
It is the lowest possible..
wym 4 is high 
4 if u count main aic conduit 
I'm already doing 4 now. surely there is better way
it's pairs, it's got a conduit on the outside
Hi guys am i going on the right path took me a month to get where i am
why would you not count it
what that look like
btw guys i saw in sk sport
why are you wasting batts instead of sending them into depots
update oflv 3 is bad in outpost
huh?
they put walls in sides
Wdym?
youre not using 1k power, send some batteries into depot and sell
I dont think a minor inconvenience can make the upgrade "bad" when it almost doubles the income
it's not even 4 banks that thing is making 75%
Oh did not think of that
yeah the fence is kinda annoying
Guys uh shud I change this up or
you do inlet outlet but use pipe till its near the limit of lenght before you use inlet outlet again its reduces the amount of stuff you needed since 1 short pipe and 1 long pipe till limit count as same as 1
seems intrusive, but not enough for me to not upgrade
can't not upgrade anyways
this one?
before i canfill remaining smallbar
nvm i found place to clip them in
@waxen aurora but anything i need to add or what cause i want to make sure i have all the material for better gear
ahh, thats not counted the test area conduits?
yeah not included
Wait my purifications are here what is gonna happen to them 
gotcha, not gonna bother changing then. think i use one more set, but thats because i prebuilt the pipe going toward the entrance, and the hookup there needed another right on the boarder
Fellas?
trust me finding components from boxes is better than massproducing them (especially amethyst components)

Guys is there a bp for liquid hveay xiranite?
probably pushed up or inaccessable

its just h.xiranite with acid tho, unless you want one that build from xiranite
wish our next depot location can still use this 1 switch ahahah
can someone help me explain how to use the expanded crucible? because I cannot get it to output 1 xircon / 2s
granted I'm just trying it in the sim, but is this the best it can do or am I doing something wrong?
1 xicon of 15?
kinda outta the way
or judt really 1?
okay thanks i just realise i put normal xiranite instead of heavy ๐
hello can you share your xiranite setup
sry guy dumb question but is there a way to select the belt under a pipe in bulk mode?
I've seen it a couple of times and I think I've been trying to recreate something similar since yesterday
go in normal view and manually select it
thats so annoying
if 15 you need to put in xianite 1 ferium 1powder 1 sewage 1 water on it and pipe out extra sewage out if no other xicron nearby use split 1 goes back to the crucible and at front use control port to lessen sewage output
yeah thats how i usually did thing, i just wonder if there are right way to do it with bulk
you also can highlight that spot and deselect the pipe
hmm
how do you achieve 5/m hetonite part with ferrium splitting?
im losing my sense trying to do it
has anyone calculated how much you could get farming crates?
yes
picking up heto comps from crates is crazy tbh
those wooden boxes
is it rng?
yes
gives meds and comps
then we can calculate it lol
Ive been getting buckets of the xira comps
cant
Avg out of how many crates? Whats the sample size youre goin fer?
I dunno, i just thought about it
just split it first output split to 3 then 1 on left or right split to 2 1 going back in the storage = 25
u can get 50 xira comp from marker stone building area
Can i connect 2 regular conduits to 1 twin conduit?
Yes
one crate
Oh hi hecker
Hi
Woah.
I'll do that. Thanks you. It'll help alot
Lucky duck. Im getting shafted by rng. They keep givin me xirinite comps ๐ญ
Im going crazy
dang xira comp for crate is nice
3 crates total
though gonna painfull to farm
very cool thank you
is there a calculation for 20? maybe around 4,x something? thank you anyway
Instructions are within the thread
Just scroll down a bit
Wha-
remove the double split just 1 split of 3 1 going back to storage done 20

just split 3 then combine 2 of it while last goes back in
much appreciatedd
btw guy any try to think that why they given us 2 output of originium cause they be needed for 12 of newest bat? later next week update?
getting 10 SC batteries from a crate is nice
What do you do with the extra 20/min xiranite?
Yeah ive made a few breakthroughs with fotsswap and i should have a prototype by tomorrow
on potion?
Wait wait.. the same fots that both creates xyranite and heavy xyranite?
potion?? What do you mean?
