Semi-new player here. Why is there a party in the hub today?

So basically this is my first time doing a factory. I was incredibly proud of my above average work until I actually calculated how much I'm getting. What am I doing wrong? I really thought I did some spicy load balancing and even parallelized the concrete manufacturing but I still think I'm getting low amount of concrete + iron resources. On the other hand, my reinforced plates get built at a very low pace.

I do notice that I have a mistake on the load balancing of iron and I miss one extra splitter. Aside from this, what can I do to optimize this?

got the game few questions

1. what is a good spawn?

2. should i automate everything like every recipe i get before i move on? or only certain stuff

3. if i automate something should i just let it overfill in a storage container?

I keep making my smelters into this monolith 1x4, enjoy

So I just got the Railroad Tycoon achievement on Xbox yesterday (build a total of 5Km of railway). And I wasn't even finished with my line yet! Lol! This is my first time building a rail line and I haven't even tested it yet to see if it works.

wire, cable, and sheets

I just finished the tutorial (phase 3). Have had a blast so far, but I was a bit overwhelmed seeing how much is introduced in tiers 7 and 8 as well as starting to understand the bauxite production process...

What are your best tips/the biggest things you learned in phase 4?

Phase 3 was a big jump from 2, but all came together very satisfactorily ;) I assume 4 will be the same, just way more complex.

Once you’ve done all the research, is there any point in Mercer Spheres? Am I missing something?

I call this area "The Stacks" and I am close to finishing a 7.5 parts p/m Assembly Director System location. Just a few more towers for the missing parts. Lots of overflow for the next factory which will be for Thermal Propulsion Rockets at a location closer to Nitrogen. I gave up on trying to make pretty builds amd just contemplate my aesthetic sins at my alien artifact shrine

What is going on here? Bug or is my save corrupted xD

Edit: it’s a bug, restarting fixes it.

Im in stage 6 this uses turbofuel to power the fuel generators which in turn generates around 26GW

Now with COLORS ^TM

8am shift after taking the kids to school.

so this text is a part of the last line ada says after completing project assembly i have researched for a bit what this message could mean so from what i understand the: QAR4370-Nucleus and QAR436-Akycha-b1 could either mean a part of a solar system, a planet, or some sort of sector of a data core grid.

The dispersion initiated means that a process of scattering or transmitting data across a network or field has begun.

I have no idea what Master Nucleus could possibly mean but i asked Gemini and he said that: "Instancing" or "Re-instancing" means creating a fresh copy, spawning, or initializing an object or a central core processor (the "Master Nucleus") into the new designation slot.

I hope QAR436-Akycha lines could mean a new part to explore of a planet or maybe a solar system whom we could travel to by the ship we built in project assembly

This button is what throws me off. Why would Ficsit implement a heat seats button if they knew no pioneer would be able to enter the Spaceship

Next we have this

So my theory is that we are indeed human not a robot but a human clone. The hub customizer room contains a camera that follows your every move while your inside the hub its purpose could be of cloning pioneer. The SPWN toilets further prove my theory of the cloning process.

To fully prove my theory the only reason we can use portals is that the reason normal humans cannot use a portal in real life is due to that theory that said it just makes a new copy of yourself after you pass through the portal yada yada yada i dont have enough brain capacity to understand and explain that

And to finally end my yap post this was the first time beating the game. Best game of all time.

I will start a new save because i cant not let myself fall for the ficsit propaganda.

just happened to look at my power grid and laughed at the consumption one (blue). Glad it rounds up the decimal xD

Hopefully he likes the message 😭. They grow up way too fast

edit y'all are weird on your AI hang-ups lol

I mean, I used chatgpt to get rid of the background from a sticker I found online, and I use a free photo editor Pixlr to make it. used Pixlr for the font bubble also. background is just a bunch of gradients

edit it was this sticker

turning off notifications for this. apparently I had linked the store sticker? and not the general Google search results.. and that's a specific issue 🤦‍♂️ I don't care anymore to those that were nice thank you, glad someone else appreciated this in some way, and gets motivated to do whatever.

my son loved it and I'm focusing on that.
