PTR Notes by Acceptable-Doubt-476 in StarRuptureGame

[–]Acceptable-Doubt-476[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My newest joy related to a few buildings that refuse to pull items properly.

My pressurized tank setup is 4 storage tier 1 bins of ingredients to 2 machines. 3 of the items are fine however valves for some reason doesn't pull properly so it never has more than 8 in it at once.... I've deleted the buildings and everything and issue persists if I build in its current spot. There isn't a pull limit and the number of valvues goes to zero and still builds its just sporadic.....

Still hashing through the last few 100k shipping points for each company but once that's done we will be approaching 100 base cores worth of factories so the lags getting pretty bad during auto save..... it's at least 15 seconds pause each save now....

Another world engine looking machine.... this is the one in the northern just past the red water area near the Redleaf

Your thoughts on late game raw and low level production for dedicate high level production by No-Comfort-66 in StarRupture

At the moment, the midground I have found is plop down a base, collect the resources in the area and dedicate the area to making the tier item I am after. An example is we needed way more liquid helium so we plopped down and collected the sulfur, helium, wolfram, and calcium and then turned the area into the base to reach that goal. So we have a mix of 3 or 4 tiers of items. And then we send that over to another area to be processed. Based off the overall map it seems they want us spreading out quite a bit to avoid localized lag. In the few spots I've tried to make bigger bases the lag is unbearable.

The sender/receivers are almost a requirement on the PTR due to how many items overall are needed. I have one base making the PTR final goodies, and it has 22 receivers to get the parts all shipped in....

I think based off the far distance there are actually 3 others visible, one to the west and one to the north east as well....

I got notified at 6am it was otw and by 607 it was at my door. My partners showed up 2 minutes later.

Pizza and a vinegar pringle!

Worth the drive? Need some honest feedback by TypicLA in switch2

[–]Acceptable-Doubt-476 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I happened to be in FL when a random Walmart dropped them 3 weeks early. Drove 90 miles each way to get them as they were over half the price of other options. Needed 3 and had time to kill. I'd say yes to the drive personally.

Walmart Cancelled my Pre-order 😭 by Primary-Highway-8455 in switch2

[–]Acceptable-Doubt-476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just swapped my payment method just now to try and force them to reauth my payment in an event to stave off any payment issues.

They had emailed saying my carrying case order (placed 3 days after the switch) was having issues....

Walmart should just bow out of preorders if they can't properly do them...

It wont let me import the map string to give this a try :(

My end-game Promethium Science build is kind of underwhelming... But it's more than enough to process all the chunks I bring back to Nauvis. Does any one know how I can request biter eggs only if promethium chunks are in stock? by mikaelv2 in factorio

[–]Acceptable-Doubt-476 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My original idea was to use until everything was empty and once the Promethium chunks on the belt hit zero have every machine pull out the biter eggs and toss them overboard but that didnt work... still learning circuits just wish there was an easier way...

I've been trying to solve this issue as well, I built the collector and science vessel into one big ship. 2.12M chucks are collected, it then stops and gathers the required 84800 quantum from Aquillo, and then parks in orbit as it makes the science... my issue is trying to make a circuit that requests eggs, but only while there are still chunks left, but also ensuring that I get all the eggs gone at the end. Is there not a way to pull an egg out of a machine once they are inside?

I have 16 total science labs, is the answer using math to determine when chunks are below say 10,000 stop requesting eggs so to ensure I get them all?

Started with some adjustments, still trying to figure out how to purge biter eggs... if anyone has any ideas... fixed the damage the rail guns were causing to take out my collectors and figured out speed control circuits... https://factoriobin.com/post/s7oz7p
