I haven't used any mods. There are definitely qol improvements to be had. The thing I need the most is better logistics management. I have so many logistics towers moving things around across many planets. When something in the supply chain fails it can take me ages to figure out where the...

If you've got the same number of matrix labs for each colour the higher end one will be the bottleneck assuming you have all of the subcomponents available. The higher level cubes take longer to build. For subcomponents, plane filters would be the biggest bottleneck most likely as they take by...

Tried watching this.. really boring, couldn't get halfway through. Not my kind of movie.

Glad I saw this thread before watching The Kid Detective review. Watched the movie, then watched the review. Recommend both!

I had never seen this show before.. Watched all 2 and a bit seasons of it in the last few weeks. Great show, most of the characters are likeable. Officer Smitty is the best obviously. Season 3 has definitely taken a heavy turn into recent cultural issues as everyone has noticed. I don't have...

Finally finished building my first sphere. Took 80860 rockets, and approximately 12 times as many sails. Interesting to note that it doesn't affect the effectiveness of solar panels on planets outside the sphere. Wonder if they will change that in future patches.

I've got 1 black hole, 1 neutron star, 1 0 type, 1 blue giant.. 0 type is by far the best so far in terms of resource quantity.. the black hole and neutron star only have 1 planet each. I don't think luminosity really matters. Yes you'll get more power, but the sphere I built in my starting...

No water or oil, but impressive nonetheless.

That is a lot of resources.. looks like I need to explore more then! Near my home system I found a planet that has 20mil stalagmite.. it's an ocean world though, 99% water coverage.. Does that system have a lot of planets or just huge mineral deposits on the planets it does have? I haven't...

Has anyone done enough exploring to be able to tell if further away stars tend to have more resources? Just exploring the ones near my home system some of them have outrageously high quantities of resources, like 30mil stone, 20mil fire ice, 25 mil of all of the common metals etc. I have all of...

Don't overlook the power requirements of the launch silos. You'll need 3 silos per mk3 assembler building rockets to keep them launching non stop, and each silo uses 18MW. It's easier to start slow and ramp up because once you've got the a bit of the sphere built you can scale up ray receivers...

It's a builder game and feels very similar to other builder games. Fixing the constant supply chain problems is part of the game and I enjoy it, but if you didn't like factorio or satisfactory then this one wouldn't be for you either. This game has a lot more whack-a-mole than other builders...

Ready, aim, FIRE!

Some of the visualss in this game are just great.. Watching from space as my rocket production facility on 58 Corvi II is firing rockets and railguns non stop at my sphere, it looks like two space stations having a battle.

Feed your accumulators through an energy exchanger so you can automate Orbital Harvesters.. you can fit around 40 on each gas giant for a free and unlimited hydrogen, deuterium and fire ice supply!

That sounds nice.. Problem with blueprints is the non consistant tile layout on planets.. many templates would only work close to the equator.. I'm curious if they are going to do something with lava.. maybe a renewable source of stone in the future.

The first thing I did when I got white cubes was research 4 levels of mech energy so I can warp to further away stars and work for longer on one charge.

But I still have so much to do!

You can build any subsection of sphere, so you could just build a ring if you want. I've got 12 rocket launch silos going non stop now.. still going to take a long time to build the sphere.. need to scale up some more. You can see all of the rocket delivering construction materials in the...

I have my manufacturing spread evenly across 3 planets in my home system so I didn't need to tear anything down. I've got my sphere & sail production & launch system built on my silicon planet with heaps of space for expansion. Main issue is power now since you need so many launchers and...

It wouldn't surprise me if there isn't enough materials to build a sphere around every star.. dyson sphere takes a hell of a lot of mats to build. I just started building my first one.. had to substantially increase my titanium alloy production.. Luckily I already tapped into a sulfuric ocean in...

Yeah you are right. I have more than 300mw of renewable and under 100mw of thermal, and with 200mw of demand its still burning through the hydrogen. I assumed it would be smart but it's not.

fire ice = graphene and deuterium. this is enough fractionators to reliably delete all of the hydrogen.. system is producing 900 graphene and 450 deuterium per minute. Consuming about 42MW of power.

I don't think that is needed, thermal power stations operate whether the power is required or not.

Just set up my first interstellar base, harvesting organic crystals and spiniform stalagmite crystals which I convert to carbon nanotubes, then shipping them back to my home system. There's around 1.5mil of each on the one planet I went to so that will last quite a while!

D4 hasn't been that long, it was only announced late 2019. I wouldn't expect it to release in 2022 either. Starfield 2018 I think? But since we know and have seen nothing of it I have to assume it's years off. ES5 even more so.

WTF I didn't know you could do that. I knew they were stackable but had never found a need for it. Since I'm using logistics towers everywhere I don't have much belt spaghetti. Funnily enough the main place I'm using lots of splitters is the same place he demoed in the video - refinery loops...

Got my gravity matrix production up and running.. It's producing quantum chip and graviton lens faster than a 10 stack of matrix labs can cook cubes. The power drain from all of the particle colliders hurt though. Tapped into another 3 oil wells and fed 100% of the oil+hydrogen into thermal...

Home planet I'm using a mix of solar, wind and burning excess oil and hydrogen. On another planet I built a ring of solar around the whole planet on the equator. Generates around 100mw perpetually could add extra rings easy enough. I am starting to have power troubles now that I'm working on...

I built 100s of thermal power stations to filter overflow hydrogen and refined oil to to avoid that problem. I haven't started expanding outside the first system yet either. I'm currently working on setting bulk production lines up with everything linked to logistics systems so that I avoid...

I carry a stack of solar panels, wireless towers and accumulators so when I fly to a new planet I create power and recharge my mech. I tend to spend all of my energy every time I travel to a planet by accelerating to max speed and crash landing head first into the planet at 2000km/s. Makes it...

Too much lens flare.

The starting planet isn't meant to last long in terms of metals or stone. It's got more than enough to set up facilities on the other planets in the starting system which have way more materials. What the starting planet is good for is water and oil. I have pretty large oil facilities set up on...

Been waiting for the best frame to get it's prime!

You need to feed the required matrix cubes into it the same way you feed materials into an assembler.

I consider the in game translation to be very good. There is some use of language that clearly identifies it as being of Chinese origin - translated to English by a native Chinese speaker - but it's not at all chinglish.

This game is excellent! Has the same "problem/feature" that satisfactory has where you are encouraged to walk away and leave the game running, then come back hours/days later. I'm ok with that! I just got started on the red matrixes. Doesn't have an obvious solution to how to keep refineries...

Klei games (at least the ones I've played) have nothing to do with earth or earth culture. I don't see what there is to pro CCP in them. Tencent seem to be pretty hands-off with their other game aquisitions, some of them are many years old. Riot and Epic both seem to be going as strong as ever...

Sad thing is she's probably earning better money than guys working in a coal mine.

Sad news indeed.. I'm so conflicted, I love ONI but hate CCP.. I think this actually supports my decision to buy the xpac early since tencent didn't get the cash! Better Tencent than EA though. Tencent at lease has a history of leaving their aquisitions alone and letting them make good games.
