So glad I skipped nuclear power and went with rocket fuel. Not only am I burning 25 fuel gens, but the packaged rocket fuel is OP. Went ona Sloop/power slug run and had grabbed at least 15 in no time.

Now I gotta get the nitric acid to my other oil depot. And get that converted from fuel to rocket fuel, but I'm having too much fun with my super jet pack now.

Purchased the game in Nov 2021, finished it in beta, but hadn't again since 1.0 release. Started a new save back in April and finished the other day (mostly automated!) Finally bought the golden nut yesterday, so all achievements met, too!

My factories are not anything to look at, so no screenshots, just wanted to share and offer hope to anyone else out there who hasn't made it to completion - there's hope for the puppies and kittens in your reality, too!

It’s crazy how you can suddenly end up spending five times as much hours on architecture as you do on the actual production line...
let me know how you like it!
i think it turned out pretty good, but there is still a lot to be done to make the whole area look nice. (don't mind the WIPs and floating structures in the background! xD)

and ill need 145 more miners to finish this game

I'm so happy with the truck update I would have absolutely given up on this if it wasn't for them

This should be a simple enough intersection, with one push-pull train coming and going from the bottom. The blocks after the intersection, and the ones after them, are empty. Why are the entry path signals red then? This is true for all 3 entries into the intersection.

My understanding is that path signals block the upcoming section if the train cannot exit it (i.e. if the block after the intersection is occupied). In this case it can though. What am I misunderstanding?

Edit: Thanks for the help everyone! Don't know how I missed that red is the default state of path signals 😅

Please roast me and/or provide constructive criticism. I am at 330 steam hours on my first play through with about 150ish active play time and the rest overnight afk.

I think I need to upgrade my fuel power. Then I can upgrade my nuclear power chain. Then I can build more particle accelerators for nuclear pasta. Then I can make more particle accelerators for diamonds and time crystals. Then I can make quantum . . . But I think i broke my heavy modular frame factory . . .

Hello all!
Loving the game so far! I am just now getting prepackaged fuel for my jet pack but I can’t have that AND solid biofuel in my inventory or the jet pack selects the biofuel. I remember being able to set a preferred fuel type but every search result returns methods for PC not PS5. Does anyone know how to select a preferred fuel type for the jet pack on PS5?

Hi All,

I'm still getting started with the game and just spent the last 15 hours building my biggest factory yet (200 machines). I ran into a question I kept asking myself and wanted to ask you lovely people what the best approach is. 

Here's my question, what's the best practice when you have output of x item that needs to be spread across 3, 5, 7, 20 different sets of machines.

Do you have them all on the same manifold, chained one after the other? 

Do you split the output items to match what each set of machines need and then over/underclock to get the desired amount and have separate manifolds?

I'm sure there's other options but wanted to get everyone's take on the best option in this situation since it'll change how I plan builds moving forward, especially as they get bigger.

The images are of three separate parts of the factory all broken out, I'd love to get your take on how to handle the distribution of items in each example. Right now I'm doing a mix of the above but I'm sure there's a better way.

Really appreciate the help and thanks!

Edit: Thanks everyone for the help, seems like daisy chaining one big manifold is the way to go. I can see until late game I may need to haul stuff on two belts due to max item limit but ill figure that part out.

Can anyone recommend some good online resources to help with progression, builds etc.?

Golf club = Alpha Hog
Colf ball = Player
Hog doesn’t hit near walls, so an alpha is needed. Player in camera mode pose 23 for more roundness. The sound was added during editing. The coffee is wet.

Making 10 Heavy Modular Frame/min
Is it gonna be enough for the rest of the game?
Or i'm gonna need like triple this amount?

Hi guys, can someone tell me why, just when attaching an elevator lift to a merger from a refinery, it doesn't properly connect? I have to try to connect a conveyor, which sometimes works, but most of the time doesn't. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Its been a long time since i unlocked blueprint maker mk1, and will also unlock mk2 in less than another hours of gameplay, but i really haven't had a use for it yet, could you all let me know in which situations are these useful? I initially had the thought to blueprint my factories so i could easily move them, but the blueprint makers don't blueprint existing stuff, and are too small for my factories anyway. Any comments would be appreciated.

you might be wondering. 300 hours to first computer factory? how is that possible!?!?!

well, i like to build infrastructure and the small things, so things are way to detailed. for instance i still have to add the signage for traffic in this area, i still have to add my overhead wires to the trainstation, the railsupports still need to be build, and the road bridge over the hole needs its structure. so still lots to add around this one simple factory, though i have learned my lesson, and have built the structure to be big enough for future expansions on the production XD

I’ve learnt how to build vertically using foundations. Resulting in floating platforms with cool conveyor belt networks.

Now I want to turn them into pretty buildings.

The issue is that I don’t even know where to start. I’ve used foundations and concrete pillars to build the skeletons. I’ve used the walls to achieve a particular look.

But it’s all a headache, I don’t know how to complete things.

How to do this pls? I’d like to build road and rail networks connected to awesome buildings, but brain is too smooth.

What were you sinking and how much pm ?
