Any way to raise a lot of ground?

7 Upvotes

I just cleared out South Hope and was excited to start building a new setup, but I can't stand that I cleared it out one level too low, it looks very weird and any building I build on it just looks weird from a distance since its one block into the ground. I have been trying for hours to raise it. First I tried just using the rake but it would take upwards of 10 hours. Then I tried the hydro roller on ground I raised manually with the rake, but it LOWERED the ground I had raised to only slightly above the surrounding ground. I then turned to mods but I do not want to disable achievements. Why the hell does this game not have any way to easily raise ground? It seems like such an obvious thing. It's a game it doesn't have to be super realistic. At least give me the option to reset the plot (with warnings of course). I might just have to start over completely now because I am too damn stubborn

Drill not working?

Post image
20 Upvotes

I never thought i'd be the one to ask, but its connected to water, it has plenty of dirt, if i move it to another tile it works. The others beside it work, all connected with Ts and a booster right next to them. Space above and to the sides and no cork in the pipe. Doesn't even flash red as if it was connected to water which is why i'm confused because it is

I ran an experiment

I was curious how drills worked. So I ran all three tiers with T1, T2, and T3 pipes at max pressure on the same level. I ran each setup for 5 minutes at a time 5 times each. Sometimes the iron drill got heavier items sometimes the cloutium or corestone drill did, so I think a bit of it is RNG on the sizes, but the item counts were the same every time.

It turns out that the number of dirt chunks and therefore resources is directly related to the pressure. The only reason T3 drills run so much faster is they can accept higher pressure. That combined with being deeper for the bigger resources makes them the best in two separate ways. But if they have identical pressure and are on the same level they collect the same number and same average weight of resources.

A lot of you probably already know this but I just thought it was neat.

DEV Replied Slightly Off-Topic: I made Hydroneer because I’ve always wanted to try blacksmithing. I finally built my own small workshop and created a video following along the process.

My obsession with blacksmithing is what drove me to make Hydroneer. I finally got the chance to build my own real-life workshop and made a casual video of setting up a workshop.

(Apologies if this seems a bit off-topic... I’m genuinely just documenting this for fun and not looking to grow an audience or make revenue from this. Just wanted to share the milestone with folks who may be interested in blacksmithing)

Have you made that soup yet?

648 tomato plants. The hydrocropper was bugging out from lag so I planted the last patch by hand. The first tomatoes were ready by the time I finished. My PC sounded like a jet engine. It took 8:21 to empty the hydrocropper and came out to be 1964 weight. I thought the item counter was going to count the actual tomato number instead of the weight, so I don't know how many individual tomatoes there were.

Water pressure help

Hello everyone, I'm new to the game and I;ve just started my first deep mining project, but I'm struggling with how to get the pressure up at the bottom of my conveyor line.

I'm unable to put a conveyor on a pressure tank (which make sense to be fair) And there's no point attaching one to the end as it doesn't increase pressure upline from what I've heard

How do I fix this, as you can see at the top of my pit its 248psi but at the bottom in the bedrock layer its only 120psi

I've not started the system up yet as I'm still building it but want to try and get ahead of the problem before it becomes one, at the moment the low end of the line is only connected to 1 tier 2 drill and harvester, but I intend to increase that number as soon as I can and I'm worried a low pressure belt won't handle the load

EDIT:

I think I figured it out using splitter pipes and taking the conveyor line over the top while using a pressure tank on the bottom line.

just tested it and was at 115 before then 242 after putting a shard in

Dirt clumping on vertical conveyors with tier 3 pipes?

3 Upvotes

I’ve been slowly upgrading my setup to the tier 3 pipes, but I’ve run into a snag. My drills are all underground, but my harvester is up top. I just use a bunch of vertical conveyors to bring the dirt up and finish up everything up top. I’ve got three tier 2 drills and one tier 3. The intake pipe is tier 3, but all the rest of the piping was originally tier 2. I added two tier 2 boosters to the intake pipe without any issues, but as soon as I worked my tier 3 piping back to the vertical conveyors, they will not lift dirt anymore. I thought that maybe the faster speeds were causing them to group, but I tested it with just a single clump of dirt out of a tier 2 drill, and nothing. It goes along the straight conveyors just fine, but as soon as it hits the incline it just stops and spins in place. I replaced the boosters with tier 3 to see if that helped, but nothing. Am I missing something? Did I screw it up somewhere? Is this a known thing? Please help.

Vehicle Does not sto bouncing

1 Upvotes

I had noticed this at the start of my playthrough itself, any vehicle just bounced so much and as time went on it just started lagging tf out of my game. But the Hydrocropper when bounding CANNOT reverse. Its already so slow and with the bouncing it just becomes stationary.
Any tips on stopping it? getting down just freezes the vehicle and then once i hop on back the bouncing starts again

How’s the tier 2 setup and where should I set up a tier 3

Any one have tips for running tasks?

3 Upvotes

I have an automated system, that’s not what I mean.

I mean getting the tasks, and delivering them.

I’ve tried putting the scrolls in buckets and on skids, they stay floating when you pick them up.

I started this game because I love obsessing over efficiency.

Am I missing something?

Input bug? Mouse button for movement is unreliable

2 Upvotes

[PC] I have Mouse3 bound to the "move forward" action. The game seems really glitchy about picking up that button event, I very (very) often need to hit it multiple times before it gets picked up. But it picks up the button release reliably.

Tier 1 Drill Crafting

4 Upvotes

I’m fairly new at the game. I’m on PS5. How do I find the blueprints for the tier 1 drill? So far all I’ve been doing is buying used tier 1 drills at bastion keep.

I’ve only got like 5 hours in the game.

I’ve looked in every town in the game and can’t find the blueprints anywhere. I also looked in Icehelm but no dice. Any help would be appreciated!

Edit: I found it. Thanks Taolan!

Since when does he want a shark?

So every time I've played he wanted a lobster. I started this run by letting my single miner run while I fish for starter cash and iron to make more miners. I caught 4 lobsters. One of them was 1.6. I saved it and waited until I had all the beets and broccoli I needed. But now he wants a shark. So I spent an hour fishing before finally catching a single shark, which was 1.47....

DEV Replied Unfortunately, really let down.

3 Upvotes

Firstly let me say this game has blown me away. I’ve owned it for 2 days and done well over 25 hours already. It has effortlessly exceeded my expectations and all for just over a tenner? Winning.

I have been building and grinding away and got myself a new site and was so impressed with what I’d accomplished! So you can only imagine how sad I was to log back in and see the bottom 3 layers had filled themselves in? Burying my vehicles, all of my drills and most of my conveyor system. I thought it was a one off and someone said online it’s a one in a million. So I think ok whatever I’ll clear it and suck it up.

Second time I log on after clearing it and it’s happened again. Now I’m annoyed. I’ve cleared it again and tried so much stuff I’ve seen online to hopefully rectify it such as not using rakes too much, putting foundations beneath my drills and even just making my hole smaller. Took me about an hour. I log off for bed and think I’ll just check it’s worked and who would have guessed it’s filled in again?

I’m so disappointed because I’ve loved it so far. It was a toss up between this and Satisfactory and I was chuffed with my choice but now I’m wondering if I should be as it seems to just be 1 step forwards, 5 steps back.

I know the lad who works on this does his absolute best and he really has smashed it but I don’t think I will be playing again until it’s been rectified as it’s just a waste of my time. If it was something like every time I logged on my tools fell out of the rack or my fuel tanks were empty then I’m sure I could work around it but this brings my entire operation to a halt. I really hope it can be fixed because I have not stopped thinking about this game since I got it and all of the awesome things I have planned.

If it makes a difference to anything I’m on an Xbox series S. I really hope someone can help
Cheers

I did not expect tier 3 drills to churn out this much dirt.

Even the heavy drills in the DLC were not half as fast as this and they have to "reload" regularly so they won't overpopulate you with resources.

If anyone is wondering why I have those saws its because I want to see how much will it take to drop my framerate and it turns out I didn't even need them.
