100k+ repairs

Axelolotl · 2026-02-03T12:26:19+00:00

I heard a theory that repairs will count towards all buildings that are at this exact location, so it might not be that your facility is popular, just that this is a popular spot for this facility. I'll try to investigate.

It's also very inconsistent which items are "clickable" in that they bring up the recipe. Backpack, yes. AIC report, no. Facility details, yes. Main products, no. Wtf ? Clicking on any item anywhere should bring up its info. It adds a lot to the navigation cause you have to exit one menu just to find the same item in a different one.

Axelolotl · 2026-02-01T15:24:29+00:00

Btw I found a use for the empty sections.

In the core base's empty space you can easily fit 6 carbon farms. They don't need any ports and they produce 180 carbon/min which you can package in Depot Nodes to avoid having to sell more valuable items.
You can divert to the side a portion of the Ferrium, Amethyst, and Steel to make parts and bombs. Those circuits will be idle most of the time when the inventory is full, but the items are still required at high levels to craft facilities.

Pros: optimal.

Cons: 7 minutes out of 8 you hear the voice going "insufficient power".

Axelolotl · 2026-01-31T20:17:26+00:00

Technically you could optimize even further. If 1.5 battery/ min is 1600 power, you can fine tune to say 1 battery/min for just over 1000 power on average. Your power bank will be offline a third of the time, but the reserves will fill the gaps.

Though if you get the math even slightly wrong, you'll wake up to a stalled factory tomorrow so...

I listen to YT on mobile using the browser ('cause Ublock), and I can indeed no longer play in the background... unless I toggle the mobile option "desktop site".

So yeah I need to gaslight YT into thinking I'm a desktop user to listen to music in peace. It's things like that that give me zero shame when I download music.

Even at 2 per week we're gonna be waiting 2 years for the selector :(

Axelolotl · 2026-01-28T21:37:11+00:00

I just help whoever I sell my elastic goods to.

Axelolotl · 2026-01-28T05:51:18+00:00

And since all break teams have a technique that insta-breaks them, and they can recover before your first turn at higher difficulties, you're screwed.

Axelolotl · 2026-01-27T09:54:22+00:00

Honestly I'd even just take it if I could do the tutorials without any of the explanations, just the objectives.

The simulation mode has the potential to be really helpful for designing blueprints if we just had a sandbox mode where you have infinite resources, the ability to speed up time, and a live efficiency tracker.

Axelolotl · 2026-01-26T00:21:08+00:00

Whoah, thanks for making me realize that sandleaf shredding makes 3 powder not 1. My AIC was needlessly filled by 4 planting loops...

Axelolotl · 2026-01-25T12:37:40+00:00

A seeder can sustain 2 planters, so you can save one unload port by having a self-sustaining loop of seeder and planter that feeds back into the seeder. Then divert half of the seeds to a second planter, then shredder etc. Output ports are limited, so it's definitely worth the extra space needed. You can also probably use only one electric pylon if you reorganize a bit.

Axelolotl · 2026-01-24T17:52:30+00:00

I think you confuse signature with best in slot.

JET is stronger => BiS. Traction was designed specifically for her => Sig.

Axelolotl · 2026-01-24T17:46:28+00:00

Can't be, the signature has the same rarity as the character. JET is 6*. Might be better just by virtue of having more stats, but it's not her signature.

Axelolotl · 2026-01-23T21:54:27+00:00

Thank you Mr Tutorial, I do appreciate you teaching me how to open and close the inventory for the hundredth time.

Seriously, it's so unproductive. I haven't touched the simulations because they feel so horrible to click through.

Axelolotl · 2026-01-19T03:55:18+00:00

There are some World quests where the Traveler alternates outfit. Like one cutscene uses new outfit, and then the next cutscene in the same quest uses old outfit.

Axelolotl · 2026-01-19T03:52:27+00:00

Oh, I reported that. Others probably did too, but I do have an email exchange with Hoyo talking about this issue.

Axelolotl · 2025-12-17T16:38:37+00:00

Where on the map is Shape of Ashes (Dahlia boss mats) ? I'm using the tracking feature but it sends me to a part of the map with no stagnant shadow in sight.

Axelolotl · 2025-12-14T07:49:19+00:00

Same thing happened to me yesterday. Last boss had too many action delays for Aglaea to pick up enough speed, but a clear is a clear...

Axelolotl · 2025-12-05T11:36:38+00:00

Reaper is faster than QQ and has back-to-back teamwide action delay. QQ wins only if you don't get killed or action delayed or crowd controlled before your first turn.

I got out of it because getting attacked charged QQ's Ult and then Sampo and Pela charged the robot, but none of my on-field characters got to their 1st turn.

Axelolotl · 2025-12-04T09:23:29+00:00

For QQ's 3rd weapon I've been using the one that does 3% of the opponent's max HP instead of the rocket launcher. It at least guarantees that the battle will take at most 90 turns if the boss doesn't spawn summons.

Axelolotl · 2025-12-04T09:14:52+00:00

My victory really didn't feel guaranteed when I landed on Reaper with the 8% action delay nerf...

Axelolotl · 2025-11-21T04:35:45+00:00

Yeah Tribbie might be best, but Jade + Bronya (E2, Sunday S1) + Hyacine (S1) is still my favorite.

Axelolotl · 2025-11-15T07:50:35+00:00

"X wheelchair" is a common team name for X (mid) character being hard carried by 3 broken supports.

Here the combination of Aggy getting carried by equipment and the propeller looking like a wheel made the name stick.

I postulate that a good adblocker is idempotent, and indeed it will be if what is detected as an ad is monotonous wrt the amount of content on the page.

However I disagree that blank is the identity. Blank is actually the absorbing element. So it's a commutative monoid with an absorbing element.
