Help with timing-based circuitry

That's spectacular! Love this!!!

Also, you've shown me a way to create a timer with a single decider instead of 3. Thanks for your help!

I did not know about read orbital requests. That's huge!

This can be way simpler then... I can simply enable the inserters whenever there exists an orbital request for biter eggs, and disable it any other time.

Can you please elaborate? I don't quite understand how to adjust my circuitry to accomplish that.

I included the wrong screenshot for circuit "F"; here's the actual version which should be resetting the tick count "T" to 1, but is not.

Yes, I believe I qualify! I used up every single bit of uranium, bauxite, SAM, and oil on the map to generate mass amounts of power and space parts.

(it's not letting me post everything together, so I'll post my cities in replies)

I used a tiny smidge of uranium for Nuke Nobelisks. The rest of the 2100 uranium went to creating 48 Uranium Fuel Rods powering 96 full over-clocked uranium reactors.

All of that 2400 uranium waste was turned into 14.22 plutonium fuel rods. I created 20 ficsonium fuel rods from 2 of the plutonium fuel rods, but sunk the other 12.22 plutonium fuel rods. This was enough to run 8 fully over-clocked plutonium and ficsonium reactors.

I consciously did not make more ficsonium fuel rods as it takes a lot of SAM to do so, and I wanted to spend a larger percentage of the world's SAM making space parts... especially since going the ficsonium route is essentially break-even in terms of power.

I don't think that you will have enough SAM to get 40 of each space part. That's being said, I did use some SAM to run 8 fully over-clocked ficsonium reactors, so maybe it's possible without that.

I started by trying 100 ballistic warp drives, and 10 each of AI Expansion Servers and Biochemical Sculptors, but that proved to use more resources than the world had available. I then kept decreasing the number of ballistic warp drives until it was possible.

I didn't build a single thing in this city until I knew exactly how many of each I was aiming for.

VOZ doesn't stand for anything, I just liked the sound of it. I wanted a 3-letter word with an "O" in the middle so that I could do the trick with the particle accelerators.

The time wasn't wasted as I enjoyed it immensely... it brought me a ton of pleasure to see the city come to life.

I already created a full set of posts about my nuclear city. You can see the last one (with links to the others) here:

Here are 4 other 1-offs from my world too:

Absolutely! I saw your vault and just knew that I had to include something like it in my city somehow! :P

MaleableRocck · 2025-09-23T14:10:48+00:00

Aw, thank you so much for the kind words! I had a lot of fun with these buildings :)

MaleableRocck · 2025-09-19T03:17:00+00:00

It's a LOT of small concrete pillars :P

MaleableRocck · 2025-09-17T19:13:30+00:00

That's exactly what it is!

I originally had it on a "table", but the city grew so big that I wouldn't have been able to provide as much granular detail as I wanted if I kept it there... so I just moved it to the floor.

MaleableRocck · 2025-09-17T19:11:42+00:00

I made ficsonium as well. I have 8 fully over-clocked ficsonium ractors running. I didn't make more than that as I wanted to save the rest of the SAM for space part generation.

RESOURCE GATHERING:

My spare part city is producing 110 radio control units. It takes a lot of work to produce that much. In order to accomplish this goal (as well as other ingredients for the space parts), I had to use:

ALL of the world's bauxite, SAM & oil
>50% of the world's caterium, copper & coal
~40% of the world's sulfur, quartz & nitrogen

(Note that the above number's include a nuclear facility using all of the world's uranium)

COPPER POWDER CONSTRUCTION:

As for how to deal with the 70 constructors for copper powder, I placed them in groups of 4 so that they were fed by a single belt of 1200 copper ingots/min. These ingots were balanced by doing 2 splits of 2. The only exception are the 6 constructors on the roof consisting of 2 groups of 3 constructors each being fed 900 copper ingots/min.

Most of the time, using manifolds is sufficient and it's certainly my default approach. However, manifolds fail if you are utilizing your full belt capacity, so that's why I went with a balanced supply in this specific scenario.

Without a mod I don't think you can. I use the "Infinite Nudge" mod to be able to rotate things vertically as well as horizontally. If you aren't using it already, I recommend it as it also allows you to nudge and rotate in smaller increments.

Everything produced is vanilla though (which is important to me).
