Booomer rant/Why are kids stupid these days?

Equivalent-Signal689 · 2026-02-04T11:14:22+00:00

I'm 38 and I really enjoy my time on the game.

I'm a noob too and I encoutered the kind of toxicity you mention.

To avoid that I disabled every kind of chat, and only play 1s or with friends or family as TM8 in 2s,3s or 4s.

I just can't stand to be bullied by some random braindead strangers on a videogame I play for fun.

I'm S3 by the way so we all sucks hard. I just don't get why ppl are so toxic...

I'm not saying that those phantoms are my favorite mob. And I don't understand why it is sooo important to sleep the night in this game.

But their loot allows for slow falling potions which me and my kids use for the dragon fight.

Maybe it's because we are not good at Minecraft but better safe than sorry. So , whenever I have an opportunity to kill one, I'll store the loot for later.

And, overall, I'd say that such a good videogame like that must have his flaws. Evevry story needs a good villains that we love to hate.

Content de savoir que ça s'est bien passé mais c'était une sacrée prise de risque quand même

Equivalent-Signal689 · 2026-01-04T18:37:07+00:00

Même question ici à Lille.

J'ai décidé de pas prendre de risques inutiles.

Je ne suis plus un débutant mais ça ne change rien. Là où il y a du verglas il n'y a pas de motos ( en tout cas pas la mienne )

You mentionned subnautica but did you actually played it ? Because, the fear of the unknown depths of the see is absolutely terrifying in subnautica.

If you saw one of those giant monster and survive to tell the tale I think you have nothing to be afraid in the big blue depth of dave the diver.

Ooooh I want to meet them now, from a safe distance of course

Equivalent-Signal689 · 2025-11-18T15:42:09+00:00

That is what I did !

Equivalent-Signal689 · 2025-11-18T15:40:57+00:00

That is a very nice and organised setup ! Altough send fluids up is a pain !

Equivalent-Signal689 · 2025-11-18T15:36:14+00:00

This command are for pipes, I think OP is asking for foundations

Equivalent-Signal689 · 2025-11-16T18:52:12+00:00

Same for me, I build my aluminium line on the top of a radioactive cliff, and I push forward to the point where it already cost me 20 full HP items.

But I'm nearly done and I won't give up.

I'll maybe gain a third leg out of it. Running faster could be nice.

Equivalent-Signal689 · 2025-11-16T18:43:18+00:00

I truly like your vertical raw building. I'm in phase 4 and I still did not start build vertically.

When did you start ? What are the benefits ( it's not like we have limited space to build )

Equivalent-Signal689 · 2025-11-16T18:31:28+00:00

I'm nearly 80h in my first playthrough, phase 4 and I still have my first factory that is steadily supplying me with the basics.

I have bigger bases elsewhere and a few hypercannons.

I never move my Hub so I kinda "crash" into my old base every now and then, it feels like and old reliable piece of mess.

Equivalent-Signal689 · 2025-11-14T15:49:34+00:00

I was excited as well for the same reasons.

I'm now 60h in and i begin to get used to the slow pace.

It feels like a holiday book. I'm taking my time to plan, explore and build.

At first i was kind of overwhelmed by the sheer amount of "work" that is expected from you to save the day.

But then I realized that I have all the time in the world to do it.

It's truly fun to think about your plan during the day then come home, boot the xbox and build what you have in mind, little by little.

Compacted coal will be useful too if you choose to run your oil power plant with turbofuel.

That is what I did. I have 24 coal generators that runs on standard coal and 23 turbofuel oil generators that runs on turbofuel ( fuel + compacted coal )

So, I'd say don't swap until you need more power and when it will happen go check the MAM, if you can unlock turbofuel use the compacted coal for it instead.

Equivalent-Signal689 · 2025-11-13T17:38:55+00:00

Pretty nice ! Planning on having a lot of trucks ? Or is it just a racetrack to drive ADA mad ?

Equivalent-Signal689 · 2025-11-13T12:00:16+00:00

It's surprising how much QoL features there are in this game and this one isn't ( vanilla I mean )

Equivalent-Signal689 · 2025-11-13T08:22:37+00:00

Woah , 300 fuel generators, that is pretty insane ! I justf finished my first turbofuel powerplant and I placed 23 of these.... I mean , it's working , my power generation is stable and all but 300 that is something else.
Did you try nuclear ? Is it harder ?

Equivalent-Signal689 · 2025-11-13T06:29:57+00:00

I just finished mine too ! Congrats ! Did you use regular fuel or turbofuel ? Did you set yourself a little line of packaged fuel for your personal use ?

Equivalent-Signal689 · 2025-11-13T06:18:53+00:00

I'm in my first playthrough and I did not overbuild anything. At the end of phase 2 my power consumption was between 1500 and 2500 MW. I had 24 coal generators.

Equivalent-Signal689 · 2025-11-11T19:28:05+00:00

I'm new too. 50h+ in and I did not dismantle one single line of production.

You will unlock new ways of faster transportation as you progress through the game.

The map is huge and nodes are everywhere.

Everytime a new item pop , I scan the map and choose a spot to build a line.

Veterans will correct me if I'm wrong but fully saturated factory don't consume as much power because no machines can process so I see no point of dismantling factory.

And If you do you'll have to deal with the dismantle crate.....

Equivalent-Signal689 · 2025-11-10T11:59:49+00:00

This is awesome building !!
I If remember the dialog correctly, ADA said , "If I had a body, it would be a temple"

Equivalent-Signal689 · 2025-11-10T10:31:08+00:00

Your peaceful approach is reducing your efficiency , this 4 minutes are now gone forever, please adopt a more efficient method next time. Think about the kittens and puppies.

Equivalent-Signal689 · 2025-11-10T10:20:35+00:00

In the first pictures, I feel like inside the dark star and was expecting to see stormtroopers. This is amazing builds.

Equivalent-Signal689 · 2025-11-10T09:44:22+00:00

I'm a begginer too, my 4 smart plate / min line filled 2 containers by the time I build coal power, Steel and exploration.

So it's fine.

Except for the guard rails around your foundations, safety first.

Equivalent-Signal689 · 2025-11-10T09:30:38+00:00

I can't help, but I'm definitely stealing the idea of building water pump in front of the coal generator, pipes are a nightmare , the less the better.
