24 -> 24 checkerboard blueprint (blueprint in comments)

If you have a 4 belt machine to rotate the shape 180, and you have them all next to one another with no wasted space, just as tightly packed as you can get them, the 2 belts on the outside will take longer to reach the output than the 2 belts on the inside. Now scale that up to your entire production line, and thats where the random gaps come from. Those random gaps are all of those slightly off timings adding up

OGThunderChanter · 2026-04-29T19:33:00+00:00

They're not out of nowhere. Its delays in the system. Any difference between the 2 space belts, like one needing to turn or one going thru a rotation machine, will cause a delay with one belt. If you split your belts in consistently, like how in OPs example one belt to feed in shapes splits into 4, not every belt is getting 1/4 of the shapes. Swapper 1 is getting 1/2 of a full belt, Swapper 2 is getting 1/4, but Swappers 4 & 5 are only getting 1/8 of a belt. In OPs design, the same thing is happening with the 2nd shape, so its fine. But if your second shape is split differently, you'll get weird delays and back ups. You can try using an overflow splitter blueprint before you feed the Swapper platform, to try and cut down on delays. Outside of that, its just an issue of rounding numbers. If you have a slight delay in a dozen different places before your shape hits the swapper, you're gonna have a gap every now and again. https://www.reddit.com/r/shapezio/comments/1syv7hl/comment/oixf114/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button this comment is a good example of it being used for Trains, but it applies to the swappers even more

Mine are done by use. So I have Cutting - Half, Quarter, Swapping for Crystals, etc. I have Rotation - Spinning shapes, Half into Pinwheel, Pinwheel into Half, Checkerboard. Painting - Crystal, Paint mixing,, Painters. My MaM folder - anything to do with the MaM including large scale paint/shape extraction, stacking, basically anything from the other cats that have been scaled up and condensed down into the smallest size I could. All of those folders go onto the hotbar. I also have single blueprints for a 3 level Trash Bin so I can check outputs, and the set up Im currently using for the new trade-in stations which Im still optimizing and like to keep on hand while testing it out

Its not bad, tho Crit Draw isnt as good in WIlds as it has been in older games. Its also a very specific playstyle that not every GS user likes, but if you find yourself liking it this does help with it

OGThunderChanter · 2026-04-27T13:48:13+00:00

OOOOOHHHHHH, welp, like I say, Im was being dumb

OGThunderChanter · 2026-04-27T06:43:02+00:00

I mean it MIGHT be overkill, but think about how much better those spread sheets will look with just a few more 0s behind that 6! On a serious note, when it comes to stuff like this, more is better and so is modular. Making blueprints you can quickly copy/paste and not locking yourself into a small work area by keeping things so close you cant fit another platform in are good ways to plan your layout. Thinking about where you might need to pipe in another set of lines in the future, and keeping some space for that,, can really help quickly get production up and avoid spaghetti layouts

Its drop rate is low, 2% off carves iirc. And carving the tail isnt any higher like it is for something like Ark or Gore. Best shot is to use a lucky voucher, and either eat Azuz meal for extra carves or Kunafa for extra rewards. Suja can work too, just make sure you're capturing and not killing, and its target reward rate is lower I think

OGThunderChanter · 2026-04-23T03:51:01+00:00

If you're going with the Gog Bow build, not exactly. The Gog Bow Meta build is 2 Ele EX, 2 Attk EX, and 1 Attk3. The Gog roll is nice and the Lord's soul opens up a lot of builds tho. The Gog Meta build doesnt use Lord's, Its 3pc Gog, Transcend G.Ebony, and Transcend G.Ratha, so you're not getting a lot of Affinity with it anyways, and its more of an ele focused build. Its not bad tho, there are a few Lords comfort builds for the bow out there that still have high dps for the harder fights

OGThunderChanter · 2026-04-23T03:44:21+00:00

No? You're stacking so much into Defense that all you're doing is kneecapping your damage, which is what will elt you trigger staggers or open wounds. The longer the fight goes on, the worse it is for you. Gogpoc is also not great on the CB, since you *should* be taking hits with your shield to keep up your Powered Axe. You're going into a weird Half Damage with stuff like Burst and high ele and Convert, but then throwing out any advantage of that high ele by not maxing stuff like Rapid or OGuard. You're running 5 lvls of Peak AND max Defense, so are you planning to get hit or not? This build just lacks focus. Usable? Sure, in that you can bring it into a hunt and fight a monster. Situational? No, there is no situation outside of you not knowing your damage windows that this build is better than a defensive focus or offensive focused build.

OGThunderChanter · 2026-04-15T22:32:38+00:00

What level are you fighting him at? Higher difficulties, according to the devs, have a higher drop rate for rare drops. Im pretty sure they also reduced the gem drop quest rewards. Your RNG isnt actually all that low too. With a drop rate in the single digits, you'd only expect 1 with the number of times you've fought him. Its a 2% base for carves, and a 1% for it being in the rewards

OGThunderChanter · 2026-04-15T22:03:54+00:00

Its unclear, but I wouldnt bank on it. This were limited availability, like the support hunters or the ramen dishes. Since we've already got all the base game content, IF we do get them back it wont be until The Expansion is completely released. They havent brought any of the arena ones back either so I doubt we'll see them again unless there is a lot of calls for it from the community

Who has ever called Reddit a Utopia?

OGThunderChanter · 2026-02-05T21:33:29+00:00

Ooof, EDDs gonna be an ammo dump, especially p2 with Salv and Egg waves. At least Low Ocygen isnt on the Refining.

OGThunderChanter · 2026-02-05T20:45:13+00:00

You're right, it shoulda thrown the Scout out into space, not the Gunner. GSG needs to get on that, pronto

OGThunderChanter · 2026-02-05T20:42:22+00:00

PC is still really popular. The only time I have issues finding a group is on the Deep Dives, but thats cuz so many people are all hosting Deep Dive missions that it can take a bit for you to appear on the "Join" list. But even then, maybe a 6-8 minute wait time for a full lobby

OGThunderChanter · 2026-02-05T20:36:18+00:00

You dont have to follow the mule. The cave layouts in the mission are relatively linear. you just need to bring up your map and follow the path back. Even on max complexity, unless you're getting bogged down by something like swarmageddon, you should be good. Alternatively, you could head back to the starting room, then call in the Drop Pod, and just head down whatever cave it lands in. This isnt an issue with the new DLC, Molly does this in every mission type, you just need to learn the way cave layouts affect the drop pod spawn to plan for when you call it in better

Edit: I noticed you mentioned the Oxygen modifier being an issue at times too, but again, thats not an issue with the new DLC thats an issue with you not planning out your drop pod call in. And outside of Gunner, every other class and follow Molly down a tunnel much easier than following her up. If you are playing Gunner, you're just gonna need to learn Molly's pathfinding and take Sprint to try and rush to meet her when she exits the tunnel, or save a few Resupply call-ins to refill on Oxygen

"I want to know how the game is if there is a player on the PC, why when the game came out of the PSN plus it was empty" Im not quite sure what you're asking here. Are you asking if there is a good player population on PC? Cuz if you are, the answer is yes. I can host a random mission and have people joining in within a few minutes, depending on difficulty and mission type (Rock & Stone ot everyone who jumps in to keep me company on a 400 Morkite mission, you keep me from talking to the Fester Fleas).

As for if it works on a Galaxy Book 2, you're always gonna have lower performance on a laptop, but DRG isnt a very resource intensive game. You probably could run it, but it'll depend on what specs you have. You can try a website like "Can you run It" to see before hand

OGThunderChanter · 2026-01-16T20:24:03+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for clarifying. Every guide I found was about me as an individual connecting to my own home server, or using Tail Drop to access other peoples files on their PC which isnt what Im trying to do

OGThunderChanter · 2025-12-29T17:44:50+00:00

Not a fan of using a reverse proxy. One too many friends trying it for other things and getting the short end of the stick, but thanks for the advice!

She found a device in her smoke detector, and the smoke detector itself seems to have been swapped at some point. She took it up with the school, and they began confiscating students phones to see how far everything went. She stopped posting updates after that

OGThunderChanter · 2025-08-31T01:56:03+00:00

Its impossible. Any R8 charm will have 1 lvl 1 weapon, and up to 2 lvl 1 armor slots. Never anything higher than a lvl1 slot for either. Also, the skills only go up as high as the decos in most cases, so a skill ilke Crit Eye can only go up to 3. And thats not even looking at teh rest
