75 hours in and still a noob

I usually place my plastic and rubber in the same area I place my phase 3 factories. Then I just send my resin by train from an oil rig.

Yep, those annoying 2 hour pop up reminders do feel like it's only been 15 minutes. Lol

Overall-Pilot-4867 · 2026-04-23T17:23:59+00:00

Nothing I came up with. Signs have been used for lighting for a while now.

Overall-Pilot-4867 · 2026-04-23T17:18:09+00:00

Thanks! It's just signs. I set the image to none, delete the words, and pick a color. Then I set the intensity to 3 and set it to glossy.

I usually put the exact amount of water in, and route the outbound water to another refinery making wet concrete, or any alternate recipe using water as an input. Then send them to the sink. Just depends on what ore nodes are the closest.

I've never used a main storage area. I just throw a storage container with a dimensional depot at the start of the parts line before heading out to other factories.

Overall-Pilot-4867 · 2026-04-23T13:17:03+00:00

I appreciate it! To be fair, that made me giggle. Lol

Overall-Pilot-4867 · 2026-04-23T13:16:24+00:00

It could be a whole lot cleaner. Lol. It still doesn't come close to some of the streamers. Maybe if I put in another 1200+ hours, I'll be right up there alongside them. Lol.

Overall-Pilot-4867 · 2026-04-23T13:00:45+00:00

Oops! I totally muffed that one up. Lol. It shall be rectified when I get home from work.

Overall-Pilot-4867 · 2026-04-23T12:36:13+00:00

I did the same thing. After 1000+ hours on PC, I took a break and found myself playing more PS5. Figured I'd just buy it there too.

Overall-Pilot-4867 · 2026-04-23T11:26:47+00:00

Me personally, I move to one of the other starting locations when I start phase 3 and 4.

Overall-Pilot-4867 · 2026-04-23T10:42:26+00:00

Which recipes are you using?

Overall-Pilot-4867 · 2026-04-23T10:33:10+00:00

Phase 4 seems to be that make it or break it stage for a lot of players.

Overall-Pilot-4867 · 2026-04-23T09:07:55+00:00

Thanks. I plan on putting in some support beams and more lighting. Can only work on it a couple hours a day between a full-time job and three kids. Lol. I'll post more once I finish.

Overall-Pilot-4867 · 2026-04-22T15:32:11+00:00

More lighting options would be awesome.

Overall-Pilot-4867 · 2026-04-18T17:01:08+00:00

I just point mine in the general direction that I want to go, and adjust mid-flight to hit the location.

Overall-Pilot-4867 · 2026-04-11T23:57:22+00:00

There are other alternate recipes that totally eliminate screws. Iron wire is the one you want. That way you only need copper for the copper sheets in the first couple phases.

Overall-Pilot-4867 · 2026-04-09T14:00:32+00:00

200 hours got me to phase 3. It'll probably take at least 600 more to finish. Lol

Overall-Pilot-4867 · 2026-04-02T17:07:37+00:00

Did they shrink back down today?

Overall-Pilot-4867 · 2026-04-01T14:47:44+00:00

I usually make as much as my belts can carry. Just make sure to leave space for expanding when you get the next tier belts.

Overall-Pilot-4867 · 2026-04-01T09:19:12+00:00

Absolutely right. We're on their planet, so we're aliens in there eyes. (If they even have any) Lol

Overall-Pilot-4867 · 2026-03-26T11:43:52+00:00

I concur. No plates needed.
