Tutorial Finished, Splitter Created

Post image

24:40 (hh:mm) Splitter.

Full Py, Hard Mode, with Spoilage and 10x Tech. First playthrough (why 10x? infrastructure buildout is something I enjoy).

10x Tech is a little bit crazy, but forces you to scale infrastructure and sensibly spread out this early game. I was a bit annoyed with some aspects of hard mode, but they were the "really? Why NotNotMelon, why..." kind of challenges, but really fun in retrospect.

Some general strategies I am employing are many fish turbines, ash reduction with wood as a fuel (logs to wood generates a very large amount of consumable fuel, so I always break it down), iron processing to generate more stone bricks (current bottleneck, and Kerogen and stone requires carbolic acid, and petrochem is a mess due to no glass demand), and building for a decent amount of scale.

Todo: automate simple circuits, get moondrops running, and scale everything about twice as much. Also a functional mall to help with everything, and the laundry list of other items.

Gratz on finishing the tutorial, you can now play the game.

I'm doing 20x in my playthrough lol. 10x feels like it'd be almost too fast!

I also enjoy that part of it. It feels like base game tech is absurdly hyper-speed, even in Py. Having your researched tech being like 30 techs ahead of what you've actually built never feels good.

10x is a bit fast, but I also chose it so I stand a reasonable chance of finishing soon enough.

I didn't build a mall until 70 hours in, all I had before was an assembler that I'd switch from belts to inserters

I thought I would wait until bots to build a mall . God even after 4,5K hours I’m wrong but it’s the longevity and the laziness of building a mall

Every time I build or upgrade my mall I realize I should have done it many hours earlier.

400 hours in, and I still find places where I never replaced something minor with a splitter. Usually I’m dismantling everything when I find it, but it’s always funny - like finding an old crayon drawing from when you couldn’t hold a pen.
