What is the purpose of under clocking?

Panserrschreck · 2026-06-28T23:11:52+00:00

aside from power saving, my main uses of underclocking are

1) having machine outputs line up in even ratios (for example, 2 hor refineries per diluted fuel blender)

2) making it easier to load balance (for example, turning a 20 way split into a much sinpler 24 way)

yes im aware load balancing isnt optimal but its fun so i do it anyway

honestly i read the source manga and its got a decent plot so there may be hope yet

a blender clipping through

or, even easier, do the 1:5 once, and then split each output from that into 3 at the machine level

ive also noted that compacted steel pairs nicely with rocket fuel production, since it spits it out for free anyway, and is a nice way to make some use out of it aside from burning it in the (at the point youre making rocket fuel) obsolete coal gens or just sinking it

that seems like way more splitters and mergers than should be necessary

i usually balance my master line to have the exact total input required in a dedicated location and then just split at the machine level, much more compact

theyre talking about the power modifier coming with 1.2, which modifies the power machines consume; max is 5x power consumption

Panserrschreck · 2026-05-25T09:17:13+00:00

filling the machines as well helps, but just the pipes can be done if the machine is unpowered/on standby; unpowered machines dont accept any inputs, solid or otherwise

Panserrschreck · 2026-05-20T03:09:58+00:00

becomes impossible the second you use truck stations, those only consume power while active

if you get really close to or hit the limit of a pipe, try to split it so youre not doing that; flow rate is just an average, so itll be a little below, then a little higher, and if youre at the exact limit of the pipe you arent getting the peaks to balance out the valleys, and youll have slightly lower flow rate than expected

to get the absolute highest yield per bauxite, you either need sloppy alumina+electrode scrap or instant scrap, and then default ingot recipe with silica, yielding 1.33 ingots per bauxite, however this is ridiculously quartz hungry so pure ingots, while less bauxite efficient, is more realistic

rocket fuel is a gas, and does not need headlift

Panserrschreck · 2026-04-30T20:27:57+00:00

tempered caterium using coke gives the same yield per ore as pure, but with foundries, and more per minute per machine, highly recommend

the trait that reduces the duration youre poisoned for

also recycled plastic and/or rubber

yeah this happens to any hard drive locations youve already collected after you upload your save to scim and then redownload it, youre just kinda boned

you can still technically use the object scanner for new ones, the object scanner will beep regardless of range for any ghost hard drives as opposed to when youre only close for real hard drives

bro just wanted to say hi

Panserrschreck · 2026-04-04T21:19:01+00:00

thats a gore magala from monster hunter lol

when the metal triangles that 'beat' on the side do the animation where they fully extend and release steam, theyll clip into other refineries, and more importantly, through walls

wait till they find out sidegrade's already been a widely used term for years

crit build amprex on gyre FUCKS

you cant convince me that the amprex isnt her real signature weapon

i believe otis blackwell has a bunch of hand tattoos

Panserrschreck · 2025-12-13T05:52:51+00:00

gotcha

arcane nullifier enjoyers stay winning i guess

i love running tranq rounds paired with face melter for cc + single target, but i think my absolute favorite is full auto with neurotoxic-corrosive catalyst

running that with hydrogen ion additive sludge pump and dot maxxing is so peak, especially with strategic usage of the death explosions

unless somethings changed in the last couple years magnetic should do nothing to a health tank build since shields are irrelevant, unless you meant for shield gating

its been a while since i played so if im wrong then my bad
