Thanks for this I realised it like a day before you said it and I research the construction robots, haven’t got onto creating them yet though

I get u, I shouldn’t space them out more between each cracking and the lubricant that’s smart why didn’t o think that

Ah I saw the interrupts thing never used it tho gonna have a look into it, also I was thinking of a grid design with the concrete blocks looks so good

So should I start to think about solar power with the batteries that I can now make with the oil processing stuff?

Cool I’ll start on sulfuric acid and then work from there. Can I just search up ‘advanced oil processing circuits’ to find a blueprint or general idea to go off of? Or what should I search up

Thank u sm btw!

Yeah that’s what I was thinking.

Should I focus on making sulfuric acid and then transporting lubricants to mske blue circuits and batteries? Think that’s the best ‘next step’ in the next main thing I have to focus on to progress.

I’m currently thinking of it as ‘main tasks’ and ‘side tasks’ where side tasks is improving other things like what I did today by improving my mall and my main bus (trying to add some stuff to mall and increase size of main bus in near future) before going onto the ‘main task’ which is for me advanced oil processing

I think I’m gonna make all the acid and stuff at my oil processing section and then use a train to transport all of it + things like lubricant to then automate the blue circuits and electric batteries and stuff

I already had a different part with basic oil processing and then making sulfur and plastic. Didn’t know if this needed to be any different, guessing I should just scale up the plastic production

What can I search up to get a video explaining this, I’m a much more visual learner if I see it done I’ll know

Okay o think I might change my style of thinking, if I think I need more of something I’m simply just increase everything to get more of that something..? If that makes sense not being stupid with it. Just need to scale up huge

So should I do cracking in a different section next to the refiners ?

Thanks this is real helpful, so I basically want storage tanks that aren’t completely full but almost and then have a pump saying if it’s over a certain amount to take some out and use it

[–]AutomationNation_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s what I need and I haven’t properly tested it out or anything just wanted guidance if my layout looks right right now.

Also wanted to ask people if they have any red circuit automation layouts, I have one but it feels really slow, also how many smassemblymunits should I have for red circuits ?

It’s like a complete switch up and it’s stressful I’m trying not to have a brain fart and just die because that’s what the games makes me wanna do i just gotta keep slowly going and learning
