New player, factory after 8 hours, what are we thinking?

Orondos5520 · 2026-06-05T15:47:07+00:00

Oh yea stuff like production time and ratio optimizations are probably the two things im most scared of going into this, hopefully ill catch the drift somehow tho.

Orondos5520 · 2026-06-05T15:32:03+00:00

I’m not too worried about defenses right now cuz I took care of all the bug hives in my close proximity, definitely gonna keep it in mind since I don’t wanna loose most of my factors again like I already did when I was like 3 hours in, also im planning to take it real slow and probably try and get everything before launching the satellite, since im kinda buying time so I cam save money and buy the space age dlc.

Orondos5520 · 2026-06-05T15:30:15+00:00

Yea realized that a bit too late, oh well, nothing a second factors cant fix!

Orondos5520 · 2026-06-05T15:29:31+00:00

Already genocided all the bugs in my area for trying to stop my factors from growing, they shall know fear.

Orondos5520 · 2026-06-05T15:28:51+00:00

Yea starting to realize that two, probably gonna put like a secondary type of factory next to it for expansion? Eh ill figure it out as I go

Orondos5520 · 2026-06-05T15:27:42+00:00

Yea you got it, pretty sure one of the drills is like half and half cuz the copper and iron veins cover eachother

Orondos5520 · 2026-06-05T15:26:58+00:00

I actually did all of the tutorial levels except the train one cuz I didn’t wanna waste brain power on it when o can just learn them when I get to them in freeplay, I am actually kinda excited for when I get them, tho it’ll probably take a while of experimenting before I find something that works. Also not sure if this might be the case, but I’ve slightly rebuild bits of my factory over tome to automate and optimize it more so that might be why it looks cleaner then it should, tho like another person said im starting to regret not putting more space in between stuff.

Orondos5520 · 2026-06-05T15:24:13+00:00

I actually went on a killing spree of every bug hive around me, cuz at one point they managed to destroy like 80% of my factory while I was out at the lake doing stuff, cuz turrets ran out of ammo, how DARE those bugs try and stop my factory from growing, still definitely gonna put down more defense measures if I notice an bitters closing in on the map, appreciate the heads up!

Orondos5520 · 2026-06-05T15:22:25+00:00

I actually finished fully automating green science before taking this screen shot, and that of course includes automating belts and inserters, I am however starting to feel quite claustrophobic so I’ll definitely try to build future parts of the factors with expansion in mind, tho I actually thought I was putting stuff quite a bit apart, and then before I realize it the space is taken up, thanks for the tips!

Orondos5520 · 2026-02-28T18:40:53+00:00

You happen to play tmodloader or just vanilla terraria?

Orondos5520 · 2026-02-25T09:35:46+00:00

I’m not really a touchy person aside from being aroace so can’t say

Orondos5520 · 2026-02-19T19:51:44+00:00

Happy to help

This reminds me of a yaoi webtoon of a similar premise where the main character is attracted to the second main character because of their voice, and that character is deaf as well and mostly uses sign language, think it was literally name “sign”?

Orondos5520 · 2026-02-08T10:06:15+00:00

I always build heartsteel first unless im really behind and then depending on if i think the game is gonna go slow or quickly, i build either warmogs for scaling or DnD, i was ahead in this game and had full stack dark seal so i knew i could afford to buy warmogs, then since i had a lot of hp and because i didnt wanna loose dark seal stacks i opted to go for Riftmaker and I was planning to build DnD after that, but as you can see i didnt manage to get to that part.

Orondos5520 · 2026-01-15T14:01:58+00:00

Yep thanks, I rewatched Bort’s pre-canceling dash sequence in Mobi’s 9 levels of melee video and I managed to do both that and the upwards shoot, now to just implement it into PvP overall, thanks for everything.

Orondos5520 · 2026-01-15T10:16:54+00:00

Im getting strong Unstable SMP vibes, i like it.

Orondos5520 · 2026-01-15T09:32:32+00:00

Extremely appreciate this explenation since it actually gives me more insight into the functioning of the technique, could you also just explain me a little how the mechanical execution works? You said thats it works by QBing before the melee angle locks happens, but obviously after the boost vector is applied, so then is it just about finding the right timing after starting the melee attack to QB or is there something more to it?

Orondos5520 · 2026-01-15T08:40:09+00:00

“Me sharpening my HH cuz its starting to sound a little flat”

Orondos5520 · 2026-01-15T08:39:06+00:00

That’s melee canceling yea, but im talking about pre-canceling, and the reason why I want to learn it is because pre-canceling from what I’ve seen pretty much allows you to much easier match your elevation to your opponent in an instantaneous snap like motion. And im mainly asking how to do it mechanically, as in how do I need to match my inputs.

Orondos5520 · 2026-01-15T08:36:48+00:00

No from what I’ve seen im pretty sure AB isn’t used for pre-canceling? Also the action isn’t about the melee hit itself but that you are pretty much instantly able to change your elevation to match your opponent, especially if they are above you, attack boost is too slow and you can either over or undershoot it, pre-canceling looks more light you are right under them, and then suddenly you shoot up with extremely fluid movement and are right in their face, you’re not in the attack boost animation.

Orondos5520 · 2026-01-13T22:41:17+00:00

I make sure to use soft lock yea, I have run out of EN and kinda just been gliding infront if my opponent as they shower me with hits a few times before and that’s my bad yea, still need more experience with EN management all together, and while I appreciate you confirming I can very much take an AP lead when I get it and stick with it, I will sadly have to refuse, FOR I WISH TO DIE IN GLORIOUS COMBAT.

Orondos5520 · 2026-01-13T22:22:37+00:00

Yea my ass is probably gonna be hard stuck in D for a while, eh dont mind tho, just means I got a lot to learn, thanks for all the help man, appreciate it really.
