    Anyone else using artillery shells to explore the map?

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 07:44 AM PDT

    Took the feedback on board from the comments and made an alternative version, I like it, but feel it may have lost the harsh neo-communist dystopic vibe (thanks for the input!)

    Went through my old saves, found my very first base and this was my unloading station, and yes, I unload all ores in the same place... I learned alot since then!

    Show of hands, did anybody else try this game only after seeing that comic by srgrafo a week ago? I love it and have gotten all my friends hooked on it too. Edit: For those who don't know what I'm referring to. https://i.imgur.com/8HKvyqs.jpg

    This is my first ever time playing this game and this part of the chain signal tutorial is a fucking torture device.

    Trying to optimize the factory. Can you see what is wrong?

    Does this make any sense in early SE? Nuclear powered ion engines

    Is there any chance of a tree-hugger achievement?

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 06:48 AM PDT

    TL;DR: You get the badge for launching the rocket with less than {x} tree removals/kills (including dead ones).

    I'm a relatively new player, and decided to set my sights on getting some achievements under my belt, after trying and failing dismally to get past level 11 of the supply scenario.

    I'm proud to say that I got the lazy bastard, but I also set myself the task of not taking out more than 20 trees. So while I can't keep up with a lot of ya'all in terms of great base design, I can say the factory can grow without killing the trees or removing dead trunks (they're habitat for native species!)

    The avoiding of killing/removing trees adds difficulty because using grenades or flamethrowers is pretty much out of the question and makes rail and belt placement a real challenge. So, as weird as it sounds in a game that's all about the factory growth, I'd love to see a badge for this kind of challenge.

    Thoughts?

    Circuit help

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 05:53 AM PDT

    Is it possible to make a circuit that will "display" if an item is increasing or decreasing in storage...
    I want to use it to be able to quickly see if my oil (petrol in particular) storage is going up or down..

    I guess I'd need something like: (check value) -> wait a tick or two -> (check value) -> compare the two values and if it's going up, light a green lamp, if it's going down light a red lamp..... or something like that.

    ​

    I hope im explaining it properly...

    I tried to make a super compact blue science factory. Ended up making a super compact block of spaghetti instead.

    So my friend thinks, that setting Research queue to always counts as cheating, and I think it is not. So is it cheating?

    Help me understand my train routing

    Posted: 12 Jul 2021 05:30 AM PDT

    Help me understand my train routing

    [I found the issue. I simply overlooked a wrong stop in the routing, the pathing and signals are all correct. Leaving this up in case anyone wants to look at my horrific setup]

    ​

    So, ignore that the following is a very scuffed setup and probably has tons of improvements to be made both to the factory and to the train network. This is my first proper playthrough of the game so i'm just winging it.

    I ran into a problem that, with much testing and alternate routing, i cannot fix. So i thought i'd has here (since steams forums don't allow edited screenshots which i need here for clarity).

    My problem is as follows:

    https://preview.redd.it/pi87f9tyxra71.png?width=1651&format=png&auto=webp&s=f9004af3b68bf54516442f219d41f5cf5937ff05

    The train is currently at Copper 1 and the next stop on the list is Base North.

    ​

    https://preview.redd.it/y2zwvyn5yra71.png?width=1651&format=png&auto=webp&s=916dafc5ca555eb51ccc2ca9ac0e4395d28c4932

    I expect the train to take this route. It is the shortest and most direct one and other than there being a train at the Base 1 station, the tracks are close to always empty. ~80% of the time, the train will take this route.

    ​

    https://preview.redd.it/oemm8oohyra71.png?width=1651&format=png&auto=webp&s=5b0b69c1b6485562b38c4f881a1916d738e0e510

    But ~20% of the time, the train will take this route instead. And i cannot figure out why. It has no stop at Base Iron West. So why is it taking this insanely long detour?

    I also marked the chunks in the relevant parts, in case they are necessary:

    https://preview.redd.it/i19midsyyra71.png?width=1651&format=png&auto=webp&s=ad0c0ef8546a5941e2c37537fd7679b5a39fefd9

    At first i thought it was because the train is "clever" and sees that there are trains on the shorter path and thusly takes the long one, but 1. there are trains on the long one too (mainly ones parked in Base Iron West) and 2. i tried a different setup and the train just didn't want to evade other trains on that one.

    https://preview.redd.it/nn2j3ktazra71.png?width=1919&format=png&auto=webp&s=4c94548f0f1214da8c283ed112beee90a5101ecf

    Here is the different setup. A train from Base North could take both routes, the one with the train station Base Iron West and the very slightly longer one around it. They went through the station 100% of the time, regardless of if there was a train there and the other one being empty. I then had two stops for Base Iron West (on both lines visible here) but then the trains from that route ALWAYS went there and never went to the actual stop, which was left empty.

    ​

    I know there is plenty to be improved but why are the trains taking the super long route?
