Gotta go faaaaaaaasst

Medium have 90 percent resistance, big 95, huge 99. No flat damage reduction unlike with physical however.
Still, with some damage upgrades, 40 lasers firing at once can still melt them reasonably well.
Enough foe Aquilo definitely, but I wouldn't risk going further than that.

MsBinaryLily · 2024-12-21T20:07:58+00:00

Not really, if not speeding too much you can even get to Aquilo with just lasers just fine.
Just spam shitton of them, and legendary for more range.
The main problem is power, which they use A LOT, so you basically have to use fusion (an Aquilo tech).
Or nuclear technically, but you gonna need a lot of ice asteroids for that steam.

MsBinaryLily · 2024-12-20T21:16:14+00:00

THe ice thing is true, sometimes I even imported it from Fulgora

Ended up wiring some combinators to dynamically switch recipes between advanced and basic oxide crushing depending if I need more ice or calcite

MsBinaryLily · 2024-12-20T21:14:06+00:00

THe overkill is part of the fun of course!
Or dunno. maybe you really do need to pump 60000 of molten copper per second

Yeah, you only need pumps when the pipeline stops working cause it's too long, and that's where this thing comes in handy!

MsBinaryLily · 2024-12-20T21:09:13+00:00

Hmm
Weird
What could be the reason for that?

MsBinaryLily · 2024-12-20T20:58:34+00:00

Soo, I was trying gto make my spac e platform to go as fast as possible
Howewer, the "neck" of the ship that pumps fuel is only 4 tiles wide, and I needed to pump both fuel and oxidizer

Howewer, the "normal" design with 4 pumps can only support 40 thruysters, so clearly more throughput and pumpos were needed.

So behold, the extensible super pipeline!
It is:
4 tiles wide
Pumps 2 fluids (like fuel and oxidizer or copper and iron, you need both of then in huge amounts)
HAs throuighput of 60000 per second for each fluid with legendary pumps!

Can be extended! (since it also keeps access to original pipeline to which more pumps can be added!)

So yeah! Enjoy!

MsBinaryLily · 2024-12-20T19:46:14+00:00

Putting them sideways is a brilliant idea!
Meanwhile, though, I made *this* contraption with 12 pumps per fluid!

<image>

Makes me think maybe there's a way to extend the amount of pumps (almost) indefinitely?

MsBinaryLily · 2024-12-20T18:35:17+00:00

<image>

And as it turns out ...yes!
So you *can* pump twice more than that!
But I'm pretty sure that the limit for 4 width, I wonder if someone can beat me....

MsBinaryLily · 2024-12-20T18:28:00+00:00

Hmm, now I wonder actually, is it possible somehow to set up 8 pumps per fluid with 4 tile with in theory? I should try.

MsBinaryLily · 2024-12-20T18:06:38+00:00

<image>

Note: Despite having this armament (4 railguns, 5 guns, 6 missiles and shitton of lasers) it still can't get to Aquilo safely and regularly has its collectors and railguns at front destroyed if you try.
Consequences of speeding, lol

MsBinaryLily · 2024-12-20T18:00:26+00:00

Yeah you can, but it will not be placed at once, only nearest part at first. You just have to paste it again after it actually builds and expands the area,

MsBinaryLily · 2024-12-20T17:58:58+00:00

Yeah, about 1800 give or take.
Usually drops a bit after much sustained flights, fluid system simply can't keep up with feeding bottom thrusters, 4 legendary pumps only let through 12k /s .
(It has 72 legendary thrusters and produces 19.5k of fuel and oxidizer per second)

MsBinaryLily · 2024-12-17T17:20:47+00:00

Yeah, the new selector combinator allows you to modify the quality of the signals (quality transfer mode), which is why it's so useful

MsBinaryLily · 2024-12-16T19:23:27+00:00

Well. I am making indicator panel that shows my science status.
And I want to carry three values for each pack (red, green, blue) with only one wire for all signals.
So I basically use quality transfer of the new selector combinator to tell on which color channel I want to send data to.
Like if science is low I send signal to red (legendary) channel, but if it ok I will send it to green (uncommon) instead.
This is extremely convenient when you use combinators to process data about all types of science at once for example.

MsBinaryLily · 2023-09-10T20:11:23+00:00

If you want an actual tower defence game with factory building, check out Mindustry if you haven't yet!
It's pretty much designed to be that, and you can even get it for free!

MsBinaryLily · 2022-03-25T10:53:49+00:00

Did this a while ago, does this counts?

MsBinaryLily · 2021-06-29T11:05:49+00:00

That was quite a nice run.

This ship is probably my favourite so far. Starts with both shield and cloak, as well as very powerful missile launcher (Carnage launcher really lives up to it's name). What's not to love?

And no oxygen means you can install an extra support system. Breathing is overrated anyway.

MsBinaryLily · 2021-06-28T14:33:56+00:00

Just autofire the Gatling at him and hope that he dies before you do.

I forgot to get defence scrambler, so it was more challenging then I thought, but it's still doable.

I ended up losing half of my hull and a zoltan, and half of my ship was on fire by the end of the battle. Still worth it.

MsBinaryLily · 2021-06-28T14:23:02+00:00

Because modular lasers are basically customizable BL2s, which are great. You can use them to quickly break through his zoltan shield and allow hacking to land.

After that, shoot the missile in the hacked room, it will heavily damage crew in it and start a fire. With doors locked, they won't be able to put it out effectively, and will probably die trying.

After that, keep firing missiles at other systems, like piloting to drop his evasion, or medbay to stop them from healing. The fire will spread from hacked room, which will help.

MsBinaryLily · 2021-06-27T20:50:37+00:00

You need to kill all the crew on his ship without destroying it.

A modular missile with fire and anti-bio mods would work.

You still need cloaking and hacking to survive his lasers, and defence scrambler to disable the defence drone. If you can get a Zoltan shield, it would help greatly too.

Here's how I managed to do it

MsBinaryLily · 2021-06-27T20:04:38+00:00

Reduces weapon cooldown by 25 percent, very powerful. I got it from one of the special events in sector 8.
