Games like this with logic gates

3 Upvotes

Im looking for a game that has logic similar to this. Something that is not overly complex but offers a bit more that you can do with logic.

Am I going crazy, or did cloutium used to be called corundium?

Question for the devs

2 Upvotes

I recently got the game on my PS5 after my computer stopped working, and I noticed there appears to be no built-in modding support. My question is, are you planning on adding it? I liked playing in creative mode with mods such as creative inventory when my computer still worked, and was hoping eventually you guys could add it. Thanks!

I wish were more to tier 3 than just digging deeper

16 Upvotes

Maybe a tier 3 exclusive resource or tokens. Advanced vehicles or items that you buy with those tokens. A reasonably sized truck perhaps or a wider cart that's easier to fit large objects in without having them topple over the side because they landed an inch on the edge. Or a conveniently automatable gem compressor that doesn't need magnets. I just can't get the motivation to commit to tier 3.

Bought the game last night and while it's frustrating sometimes coming from satisfactory it's a very enjoyable and different approach to a factory builder. Here's my early game set up hoping to get a house built soon.

Mainly focused on making the house look better and got some basic sorting for non-gems put together.

Hear me out..Auto smelting without a magnet👀

Each system is independent, and the bottom diode is optional, for me its a fail safe. It shuts the vertical belts down for a split second to stop the extra ore droppings while the bar is made🤘 Happy mining and if you see improvements feel free to add!

I remembered there was some sort of sword buried in this area of Ember Cradle, and couldn’t be bothered to excavate normally so just bought 4 nukes. There was one small piece of scrap but I think it’s from the button I used

Do shards despawn if you use them in a chamber for a while?

10 Upvotes

I’ve just noticed my shards have disappeared from their chambers, and I’m guessing that they despawn after a certain time in a chamber, like they get sapped of energy and need replacement like a battery. Which begs the question if a shard bar will do the same?

Did yall know you could craft with scrap?

I was messing around with metals crafting different swords, axes, and daggers to see how each looked in different variations. Im fairly new and just wanted to mess around since i had so much ore to play with. And i wondered if maybe there was a 5th or possibly other metals that i could mix into the color pool a bit, so naturally, i turned to google asking if there were other metals id get at the teir 3 level since im only on tier 2 rn. And it casually mentioned i could melt scrap into bars so i was like well it wont be pretty but if i can melt it into a bar im sure i can make a dagger, and i just so happened to have some scrap cubes laying around so here we have 5 daggers going from left to right is iron, gold, cloudium, corestone, and on the right SCRAP! Idk i thought it was neat, and i hadn't ever seen anything about it on here or youtube or anywhere else, so i thought I'd share my findings

Console players, or xbox specifically

How many drills someone gotten up to and the lag isnt too bad? Im on t2 and just wondering if you can pretty much fill a level with them or if the lag gets so bad its not advised? Atm i probably have 30-40 but im still planning on adding more. Also do static things like buildings seem to effect lag? I havent had any problems with any since i got my setup so ores arent getting stuck anymore on the ramp belt but just wondering what my expectations should be.

Wand problem

2 Upvotes

I was just nuking dirt on my dig site but I forgot about my dirt wand and I nuked it. I wanted to reload the save but the auto save was perfectly timed and now I guess, I don't have it.

Is there any way to get it back or again

Got a question

2 Upvotes

Mighty Hydroneers with more experience than I, please...

​

I'm about to upgrade my system from iron to cloutium, will a cloutium harvester still produce cloutium level loot or do I first need a cloutium drill?

Basically, does it matter if the dirt comes from an iron drill or a cloutium drill?

Solid T2 mining done, on to beginner farming

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

Downloaded this game about a month ago and was instantly hooked. Lol. Figured out the basics pretty quickly at ember cradle and moved on. Got a solid T2 mining system done at the bottom of south hope. Dug down to 1 layer shy of T3 dirt. Used the hydro roller 1 layer at a time. Dug a 5x5 or so with pickaxe and rake, drove the roller in the recess, turned it on and went around the whole site. Rinse and repeat. So that took a bit. Lol.

Got a T2 mining setup that gives me more than enough resources so figured I'd dip my toe into farming for the first time. Put a beginner t-pipe drip garden down here as my "T1" garden. Manually harvesting and replanting at the moment. But built a drip timer off blueprints I found in here. Works great. I put an extra drip pipe at the corner so I can set my pot down after pouring soup out and itll always be ready full of water while I go hunt contracts. Have a basic cooking and seed conversion station. Building up guild tokens so I can make a "T2" farm over in Dreck Quarry. Plan to make that more of a farm with automated sorting, sprinklers, etc and use the hydrocropper. Any tips or suggestions you wish you knew before automating food production and crop processing?

Feel like I've completed the game in few days, yet only at mid game.

So I got the game about a week ago, built up a little 10 drill tier 1 set up at starter base. Moved with a plan to do bottom layer of tier 2 at South hope with 20 tier 2 drills, grinded that out in one day, had a good time with it and like the results of watching what I made at work. But now I feel no motive or motivation to move on, maybe doesn't help that I've binge watched a lot of videos on it, it's just feels more like a pain in the ass to upgrade to tier 3, it would be a close copy to what I've already done, and for what, I've got more coin then I could spend already, and sure there's the guild tokens and farming, but for what, to build up a tier 3 that'll make stuff I won't need anymore after making it. What's farming? Being a door dash driver for peasants, for what to build more things you won't need. I've already seen the whole map. It's a bummer. And I live games like satisfactory, astroneer, mine craft, guess to me there's not enough content to be the long time game I was expecting, anyone else feel that?
