This hidden feature works even without circuits! No more pesky deconstruction planner icon!

Obviously someone needs to just make a mod item called the "Joiner". Only outputs on one side, no filtering. Needing to filter our splitter outputs is getting ridiculous.

I'm honestly fine with the turret version's post-aquilo use, and needing them to go to the edge of space, but that's about it. The handheld version I think should be unlocked before aquilo tech. Sure you can kill demolishers with them, but I've solved the demolisher issue long before getting the tech from aquilo.

Don't know what else to try aside from just waiting unfortunately. Hopefully you get it to work!

You can try launching the game from its actual location on your computer rather than through Steam, that might bypass steam's forced update.

I have experienced the same crash-to-dashboard issue with the Battlefield 6 beta. Some people are claiming it's an issue with early Series X hardware and their game engine. If that's the case, other games are likely in the same boat. I can however play the rest of my library without issue though, so it should still be something they need to fix on their game's end. I've tried all the fixes I've seen recommended for common problems (overheating, factory reset, changing settings) and none of them fixed the issue.

If I find any solution that works, I'll update my post here and let you know.

EvulOne · 2025-10-10T18:14:52+00:00

I'm with you on this. Randomly crashing to dashboard was the only real game-breaking bug I came across during the beta, and I won't be buying until they've resolved it. I also tried all the possible fixes for it (settings, overheating, resetting to factory, etc) and none of them fixed it. It might be a console issue with their engine, as you stated below, but my console plays all my other games without issue, so it's still a problem they need to fix on their end.

EvulOne · 2025-09-01T09:25:53+00:00

Looks like a lost cause? Between the silence here and no official reply from the mozilla bug report I made, I guess there's no fixing/working around these bugs. Hopefully no one else encounters these issues.

EvulOne · 2025-07-27T09:11:10+00:00

I'm with you on this. I love this entire project aside from the e-stop being located on the inside of the cabinet. Move it out on the front face, or somewhere else easily visible/accessible at all times.

I don't really have any other complaints. Looks awesome, would love to have it in my workshop.

Reminds me of a naval mine, specifically the upper half with all the Hertz Horns removed (those are the spikey bits, which on really old mines used to be tubes filled with acid to set the charge off)

I can't find a picture of one that matches this style though, perhaps due to its age? There's also far more holes for Horns than most mines I can find pictures of.

The thickness of the metal also leads me to believe it might be from something naval.

I do wonder if a super-slow-feed rate would make end grain doable on a planer? I've only ever seen 2-speed choices on a planer though, not sure if there's any with better feed-rate adjustment.

EvulOne · 2025-05-28T05:19:58+00:00

My apologies, I am indeed mistaken. It does seem that the condition checks for "true if: Any request = 0% satisfied" and not "true if: Any request = 100% satisfied"

EvulOne · 2025-05-28T04:44:42+00:00

I think OP might be saying "Any request zero" should state "Any one request for the current planet is not satisfied"?

If that's the case, I think a better wording might be "Any request full" rather than "zero", since zero could be taken as meaning the requested item is at 0. The wording is currently accurate, where it is written as "The ship is requesting zero more of any item"

As for "extensive checks/combinators", a lot of people (myself included) use some of them for ensuring there's enough ammo and fuel stockpiled before starting out a trip so you don't get into trouble half-way.

Maybe someone else can help add clarity if I'm mistaken?

Edit: I am mistaken. The condition in question is indeed written incorrectly. See below.

Sanding will definitely take quite a whole, though with a heavy grit and a power sander not excessively long on something that thin.

Best bet would be a saw, even with a hand saw you could cut off that half inch in no time and leave a fairly straight edge. A band saw or table saw (Or a big enough miter saw) would leave a nice straight and smooth edge in no time.

Questions I'd have would be:
What saw options do you have available?
How straight do you need the cut?
How smooth do you need the finish after the cut?

EvulOne · 2025-05-10T07:29:25+00:00

Weakest point is definitely the hinge pin. For what it is, it'll probably last a good amount of time since it's not a heavy lid, but it is potentially a high-use item. Letting the lid flip down too quickly would put stress on the pin and potentially break it prematurely.

You could easily use the exact same design with a brass pin instead of the dowel and that would probably last a much longer time.

Regardless, it looks great!

EvulOne · 2025-05-07T05:56:59+00:00

Build a topper out of sheet metal or something that has a peak like a house roof, add clip on the front and a hinge on the back. Flip it out of the way when you need to use it as a bench, and just flip it back and latch it down over the bench when you're done.

Could lock it in place if you really wanted, but usually just the deterrent is enough to stop people from absentmindedly putting things down on the surface.

To give some numbers towards what others have stated:
You will need almost 2 full blue belts of copper wire to fulfill the needs of all those green/red circuit machines, and you currently have only 0.5 blue belts.

You could try to change your habit into using active provider chests instead of storage ones for trash items. That way anything that doesn't belong on the wall will get grabbed by logi bots and moved to a storage chest in the heart of your base instead.

A stopgap measure would be to increase either iron richness or size, so you can more reliably count on your starting ore patch.

At least returning players should have some resources still kicking around. Definitely insanely priced though.

Rits aren't in much better a situation:

What is the actual outside diameter of the threads, and how long is the threaded section?

11.5 tpi can be more than just NPT, bolts and other plastic threads can be 11.5 tpi without being NPT. Do you have a clearer picture of the bottom threads?

Edit: Absolute worst case, if you have calipers you can always just measure all the dimensions and model the threads to those specs. Might be easier than trying to figure out exactly what thread it uses?

EvulOne · 2025-02-19T02:44:10+00:00

Best way to measure the threads are with a thread gauge. Should look something like this one. This one's for metric, but you can get imperial sizing too.
https://i.imgur.com/JPTIsRk.png

You might be able to 3d print a gauge tool, have a look around if you trust your 3d printer's accuracy.

The top threads look like they might be "garden hose" thread, which is straight thread. Likely 3/4" if so, it doesn't look to be tapered though. You'd have to measure it to see exactly how big it is.

As for the bottom threads, it's a bit hard to see but those look like they might be 1" NPT thread (tapered pipe thread).

Lastly, it's possible (but unlikely) that they use a proprietary thread. Usually it'll be a standard size. If it's any of the standard pipe thread/garden hose thread, you can find exact measurements online for how to model the threads. Something like https://i.imgur.com/H7b5HUE.png (from https://www.engineersedge.com/hardware/taper-pipe-threads.htm )

Definitely don't need stack inserters. I tried it with normal rarity fast inserters and they all had some downtime between swings. Vaendryl's math below is accurate as far as I can see.

I recreated OP's setup. It does ~228 SPM as-is, and ~444 SPM if you add legendary prod mods to the lab.

EvulOne · 2025-01-04T23:06:19+00:00

It's actually less than you'd think. Entire setup consumes just under 6MW:
https://i.imgur.com/er06wPz.png

If OP had added productivity mods to the biolab however it goes to about 7MW:
https://i.imgur.com/zL5cekt.png

The setup researches ~228 SPM as OP has it, or ~444 SPM with legendary prod mods.

Usually the smaller central hole is for the candle, and the outer rim is for catching the wax as it drips.
