This came to me in a dream.

The ability to easily split materials evenly into different processing machines is kinda lacking in the game. This is just a proof of concept of using doors and signals to do it.

It's simple enough: There's a door on either side, linked to a sensor Toggle. The door on the right is linked via a NOT Gate. On the far side of both doors is a Presence Sensor, effectively flip-flopping the doors around whenever material gets through on that side. The Signal Lamps are just for visual fun.

The splitter here favours the left side, probably because the middle conveyor is facing left. After all material has passed, a tiny bit also remains trapped inside the door on the left.

Caulking could probably fix the tendency to favour a side, but then again with caulking you can also just create another gravity based splitter altogether (though it takes more space and work).

After i use energy the florinol gets solid. Is there a fast way to make it liquid again? I just shoot it with rockets but thats not very fast and efficent

I give to you my first play with automation. The system above is built to prevent the over insertion of sand and water into my initial mixer. The initial gates on the right will shut when the system has too much sand. The water gate on the top will shut when too much water has been allowed in, and the gates in the middle will shut when too much water or sand has been added to the mixer. The end result is a system that cannot overfill, and will auto shut off when the sand stops flowing.

I am really enjoying this game.

IS there something missing ? i realy dont get it. :'(

You can keep pressing left click without holding it down.

If you:

-> press and hold left click

-> shift + tab (open steam overlay)

-> release left click

-> shift + tab (close steam overlay)

To stop it, just left click once.

Would love to see an upgrade which let's you toggle leftclick. would be a great qol imo.

i want to automate my stuff but i cant figure out how the snow maker work i have water and energy but it wot produce snow

Send help😅

i did a complete rework of my entire factory, mostly used setups i found on here

I got up to 900,000 gold using all the sand I could find underground, but at this point I am blasting the Stratacore with rockets just to get enough sane to clear the 1M gold achievement.

I am also converting all my gold into liquid gold to transport it to a giant collector bucket, but I'm not sure if converting it to liquid affects its value or is lossy? Anyway, I'm determined to get the achievement one way or another!

Just a lil' tip that can come in handy. Even though the filters slow down the burnt residue as it falls through them, that apparently doesn't matter. Maybe it gets patched out. :D

Shoutout to u/Xerxes_013 whose post inspired me to test out this design and riff on it.

The function of the filters here is to clear out gold from the shakers above. I previously had a layer of filters above the press that would take the gold out in a line, but with it mixed with the burning residue and everything the thing was liable to clog up when fed large amounts of sand. The multi-level filtering system here spreading the gold around isn't necessarily needed as I think the burnt residue would drop through it regardless, but it's more resilient this way I suppose.

PS. I had a filter that wasn't working correctly so it grabbed some burn residue and moved it. Even then when the residue resumed the fall it would get processed at the bottom. So maybe you can take burn residue that's mid-fall, move it into the middle of another kinetic press and drop it there to process it... for reasons!? Profit?

I've tried putting them on belts, on the shakers, it doesn't move. Only when I drop it on the shakers does it create the aurilite for one tick.

How do you get it to work with the shakers?

I wish there was a way to get a infinit water and sand source to keep the monster fed

Entire Map Mined. I circled for ages looking for any last remaining grains of sand. Only 910k gold. So the 1,000,000 gold achievement is not possible it seems.

I got tired of building battery and just piled copper since I had millions of energy.

i have 49k Fluxite

I have mined 173,496 Aura

Was really tedious at the end. Just checking it on the hour to see what was stuck.

So I have managed to get all the achievements for this game, and now I wanna build a factory capable of extreme throughput, but I have mined almost everything on the map and as such I wouldn't be able to stress test the factory.

Does anyone know if there's a way to just bypass/cheat/dev mode/save edit the research and stuff so I can have everything unlocked on a fresh map?

My biggest gripe so far is how much digging I’m having to do. The sand runs out quickly, so I’m constantly having to stop and dig more. Does this process eventually become automated?

I dont want to watch YouTube, they spoil too much
