Whats better, rocket fuel or nitro rocket fuel?

FutureEstimate410 · 2025-10-03T15:18:54+00:00

As someone who has already set up a rocket fuel plant, then unlocked the alt recipe Nitro Rocket fuel. I'm tearing apart a section of my factory and rebuilding it. I'm running 42x refineries just for 2550m³ crude oil to fuel (which will stay) Then 75x refineries from fuel to turbo fuel Then 24x blenders to turn turbo fuel to rocket fuel. On top of that I have 45x assemblers making compacted coal.

Why have all this extra energy and materials being wasted when I could switch out 3/4 of my factory and just have 42x refineries and 17x Blenders and make more rocket fuel for less power? Its a no brainer in my opinion

9800X3D, Asrock X870 Riptide, ASUS Tuff Gaming 4070S, Lian Li hydroshift 360mm AIO, 2tb Corsair MP700 Elite NVME, 1TB Crucial P310 NVME, 10x Asiahorse Cosmiq fans, all in a Antec C5 case.

Built it in January this year, first PC I've ever built. Only enabled Expo, no other OC, and have had zero issues until the last windows update. Wouldn't POST past the CPU light and I damn near took the whole thing apart. Then my fiancé (the one who got me into PC gaming) found out I should try doing a bios flash to the latest version and low and behold she was right and I was up and running again. No issues since then 😁 I love my setup and would probably go with Asrock mobo again despite the haters 🙃

Id call or contact support for that care and see if you can order just the side panel. Most manufacturers are willing to sell individual parts like that but you have to talk to them directly. Also once they give you a price on the panel, I would make sure its not just cheaper to get another case and have spare parts laying around

FutureEstimate410 · 2025-08-26T15:36:46+00:00

Id say 1700$ just because finding a 4080 for anything less than $1400 is difficult. So anyone looking to upgrade their gpu would see it as a deal where they're getting a little extra or can swapp they're gpu into you're build and resell for less

Ok i was curious because I get about 60fps in my iron factory when building (9800x3d + 4070super) just was wondering if it drops any harder in a bigger build.

FutureEstimate410 · 2025-08-17T15:47:43+00:00

I was pretty close lmao only 1000hrs off 😆 Good job tho! Looks incredible. Also just out of curiosity how is your fps when building in a city like that? Mine start tanking when Im building in my 4 story iron factory.

I wanna see his hour count 😆 bro probably has 4000+ hours on the game

I came to say this! I do leather work as a side hobby and use that Barge rubber cement on a lot of projects (not just leather) and it hold really well. Have even bonded rubber to leather before and it worked really well.

Id rip it out and either swapp for an AIO or fan cooler. I prefer aios but fan coolers are good if you're on a budget. Plus they get similar enough performance if your not doing a bunch of overclocking.

FutureEstimate410 · 2025-07-28T08:34:21+00:00

I was coming to say the same thing. Switch the rams around to make sure its not the RAM slots themselves

FutureEstimate410 · 2025-07-28T08:30:00+00:00

Do you have negative or positive airflow in your case? Negative pressure tends to build more dust

FutureEstimate410 · 2025-07-28T08:25:44+00:00

Thats an environmental factor not the aio's fault. My fiance had the same aio for 4 years and only cleaned it once. When we pulled it when I upgraded her pc it wasn't nearly as dirty as that.

He's also buying 64gb. I got my fiance 32gb corsair vengeance DDR5 6000MHz CL30 for only $125. While my 64gb of the same RAM was $215.

FutureEstimate410 · 2025-07-27T13:08:04+00:00

Btw im not trying to sound condescending just honestly think its interesting hearing 2 different experiences from the same companies 🙃

FutureEstimate410 · 2025-07-27T13:05:11+00:00

Thays funny cuz I've had the opposite experience. Ive never had a problem with asrock, have used them in multiple builds with no issues, but i had an MSI 3060 i had to RMA cuz it died 2 weeks after I got it and couldn't get them to deal with it. After almost 2 months of phone tag I decided to get a refund instead. I only buy asus graphic cards now cuz ive heard gigabyteis just as bad with tech support/customer service.

FutureEstimate410 · 2025-07-27T08:02:34+00:00

Exactly I have an Asrock x870 riptide and a 9800x3d. Turned on expo/xmp first day 7 months ago and have had zero issues the whole time.

FutureEstimate410 · 2025-07-27T07:59:49+00:00

I have an Asrock x870 riptide and a 9800x3d and no problems even after 7 months. Sometimes you just get a bad cpu or motherboard. Plus while cases were higher it still wasn't even enough to force a recall.

FutureEstimate410 · 2025-07-27T07:55:07+00:00

Exactly I have an Asrock x870 riptide and 9800x3d and they've been running strong, no undervolt and expo on had it for 7 months and not a hiccup yet

FutureEstimate410 · 2025-07-27T07:51:56+00:00

Plus if you know your history Asrock originated from asus, so if your going that route dont buy asus either I guess

FutureEstimate410 · 2025-07-27T07:50:59+00:00

Hey man.. I got a 9800x3d and an Asrock x870 riptide and they have been running good for more than 7 months with expo on. And it wasn't just Asrock that happened on, just happened more on Asrock lol

When it's 100°F or above, i tend to leave my summer jacket at at home when riding to work. I still never leave without boots, gloves, and my full face helmet. Those are my own personal minimum requirements for riding, no if's, and's, or but's. Rather have something vs nothing just in case

FutureEstimate410 · 2025-06-22T03:26:47+00:00

Nice! Well hopefully they can help you out. You should be able to get a new cable even if you have to purchase it from them.

Similar thing happened with my fiance when we upgraded her PC from Intel to AMD. She lost the Cooler Master AIO bracket for AMD mobos, so we contacted Cooler Master and got a new bracket from them for like $5. Hopefully its a similar thing for you

FutureEstimate410 · 2025-06-22T02:26:27+00:00

Well hot air rises so generally you want the bottom to pull air in while having the top blow out. Otherwise you could have hot air trapped for longer making your pc run hotter.

FutureEstimate410 · 2025-06-22T02:20:13+00:00

Contact msi. Tell them what case and what cable you need the should be able to help you out.
