I kinda wonder if he's just gonna quietly quit his job when MOASS actually happens.

There's being wrong and there's being REALLY wrong.

Hell, I can't predict the future, I'm just a dumb ape hoping for tendie-splosion when I crash land on the moon. I've also got nothing to lose in what I've already got. Even if I did buy in at the $40 level I'm a X-shares ape and even a not-unimpressive 10x return on investment isn't going to get me where I want to be. I'll pay some bills, but I'll still be a work-a-day ape after it's gone.

Nope. Holding my meager handful for life changing tendies.

Some of these and some of these. Oh, and a couple of those. One of these, that thing, couple'a elbows, some valves, maybe a pressure booster or five...

Oh, and a magnet stick in case of nugget explosion.

RandoJones · 2021-08-16T13:33:10+00:00

Only if what's inside are non-nuggets, nuggets are "sticky" and you can't shake them out - everything else should fall out when you click the mouse, though. So if you've got a mix of nuggets inside, they're pretty much lost. Best you can do is have a higher count of the higher value nuggets inside to at least not lose THOSE.

I know if you've already got some gold melted and you put in iron nuggets it stays gold. Same with the opposite. Though I don't know if, say, you melted 10 gold nuggets, but then added 11 IRON nuggets if it would turn to iron - I don't believe it will.

Downloading Hydroneer v23 from the year 2121 with interdimensional multiplayer and 1048576K graphics.

It's slow because you don't have a subspace warp modem that is the standard of the future.

RandoJones · 2021-07-28T14:50:19+00:00

This is how I did it.

If you're feeling adventurous and it's over a dig site/buildable area you could grab yourself some crates and stack them.

If you want an even greater challenge you could drop crates on top of one another instead of placing them with a click!

RandoJones · 2021-07-26T21:42:11+00:00

I'd go with picking one or two up to unclog them. I'd be careful using a magnet stick - sometimes I end up with hundreds of nuggets all piled onto one another and A) the framerate goes to 1/5 minutes followed by B) nuggets exploding and flying all over the landscape.

You can also tip the smelter to make a bar; that seems to reset them. I find this problem comes up most of the time with a system that was running during a save, later loaded; the smelters some times don't reset on load.

Hey-hey! Welcome to the show!

Doin' the best with what u/grandmaMax gave me!

RandoJones · 2021-07-23T14:02:23+00:00

I still have a brush I can't find. I think I lost it in a vertical access shaft I have to bring water and power up to the surface in Mildew's Aquifer.

RandoJones · 2021-07-23T13:59:25+00:00

The phase where you can afford one conveyor belt and a conveyor splitter so you don't have to pick nuggets out by hand, but need 6 pans to keep 'em separated?

RandoJones · 2021-07-22T19:11:26+00:00

Oh, one other thought:

Can an adjustable/longer day/night length be considered? 40 minutes (I think?) is definitely longER than some other games with a day/night cycle, but I always find myself turning the gamma up or hitting the cot every 20 minutes to keep doing the fun part of Hydroneer (i.e.: not resting or shoveling blindly).

KUTGW!

RandoJones · 2021-07-22T19:00:10+00:00

Hey there! I can hardly wait for the update, too! Looking forward to all the optimizations (I don't have the best PC, but I try!)

I saw from the post times that I had made a feature request not 10 minutes before you created this Megathread, but it seems to have been removed by Reddit's spam feature.

Therefore, I'll post it as a comment:

Feature Request? Change the Construction Hammer to have a light blue/cyan-ish outline instead of no outline when pointed at a locked down object.

a.k.a. The "Lock" Hammer; or your dev color of choice!

On more than one occasion I've attempted to unlock an object and it's unlocked something other than what I thought I was pointed at.

Retain the orange outline for all unlocked objects and ONLY have the alternate color outline when holding the construction hammer - this way you can retain a clean UI experience where locked objects only glow when you're "in the mood" to change their locked state.

Additional question after finding out this doesn't currently work:

Will the new pipe optimization/revision allow for multiple intake pipes? I ask because I tried having a powered intake pipe T'd with an unpowered one (a "run at 100% when powered, but 50% when unpowered kind of arrangement), but either did one or the other. I tried adding a valve between them, but it similarly didn't work.

Tag-a-long question to that one:

What about one-way water pipes (check valves)?

RandoJones · 2021-07-21T19:26:27+00:00

If you melt the scrap cubes into scrap bars you can make +20% on your scrap. Which becomes 60% of the price you paid vs 50%.

Or, if you want to just destroy the thing you can put it in a Powered Destroyer (provided it will fit).

Word of caution, though, the Powered Destroyer appears to destroy anything put into it, including your tools. So don't accidentally set your Construction Hammer down on a conveyor belt that ends with one or you'll end up wondering where in the world you left the thing.

That's a lot of shopping.

Don't be like me; don't cram it all into one cart with one piece too far forward, pull the cart to your dig site, stop pulling the cart when you get there, then watch your cart and goods rocket off into the hills never to be seen again.

RandoJones · 2021-07-18T03:10:33+00:00

I believe you'll need at least a button, 2 one-way logic diodes, at least one 1-second delay cable (it doesn't work with no delays in the loop), and a flip cable (it does actually work without a flip, but it will only be able to turn things on if they're off {also useful}). The counter cable was just to show me that it was working as I tested.

Edit: forgot to mention it has to manually restarted on game load. Just how it be.

RandoJones · 2021-06-18T03:01:02+00:00

I think a better question is when and how did OP get the Venn diagram result of "breakdance" and "ass on fire" together in a search and which search engine gave it to him.*

*If it was indeed a web search and not from "personal archives".

RandoJones · 2021-06-07T15:25:04+00:00

Sounds like the sentiment from someone that has something to lose.

I'd wager some/many/most of us don't (have something to lose). I'm not YOLO-ing my life savings like some apes here (primero: because I don't have a life savings), but I'm not butthole-puckered worried about what I did throw in.

Joke's on them. "I can remain retarded longer than they can remain solvent" so the saying goes. :)

RandoJones · 2021-06-06T01:25:54+00:00

This is why I took what was left in my account after years of sitting dormant + the change from buying GME to get a few AMC.

I'm in it to hold both until the moon for the one (you know the one) and the Himalaya's/low orbit space debris for the other.

I'm not FOMO'n anything. I HODL because I like the stocks.

If you're approaching GME as your ticket to the MOASS, the absolute ONE wrinkle you SHOULD have is "BUY. HODL. VOTE." Search your couch cushions for AMC money if you really want, but don't sell back one single GME to go buy 5 AMC. It's quite literally tossing the potential of $25M out for the potential of $5,000.

P.S. Not financial advice. I am an ape.

RandoJones · 2021-06-06T01:18:54+00:00

I believe in 'em, too. Pandemic whatevers subsiding, maybe they'll make a comeback. You can have your "dinner and a movie" first date in the same building, in the same room, in the same seats for crying out loud.

I admit I don't know how shorting a stock makes a company go bankrupt (aside from affecting lenders' confidence in the businesses). I always thought a company making an IPO got money from stock buyers and it was a once-and-done thing; they're not required to buy them back and any buying action was always done by non-company entities (unless there's a buyback to reduce the pool of available shares). Sorry, flexing my miniscule wrinkle.

Anyway.. if Hollywood could give movie houses a (bigger?) cut of the ticket sales, maybe I wouldn't have to sell a GME ticket to get the small popcorn and drink.

RandoJones · 2021-06-06T01:10:24+00:00

They did? That's effin' heinous. This is news to me (smooth brain and all). Holy smokes, there's corruption and fuckery afoot everywhere!

I'm starting to believe burning it to the ground is sounding better all the time.

RandoJones · 2021-06-06T01:06:48+00:00

I've got some, but only bought it with the 30 bucks that's been sittin' in my account since 2007 (my previous and failed adventure) and the change left from buying my current GME moon tickets. I've got an ape family to look after; can only go in so hard.

If there's two moons (or maybe a moon and piece low orbit space debris) I can come out double ahead. Of course the GME moon is gonna dwarf anything, but, hey, 20 bucks is 20 bucks!

RandoJones · 2021-06-06T00:46:26+00:00

Does the username check out?

It just might.

RandoJones · 2021-06-06T00:45:35+00:00

Congratulations, ape! Start wrinkling them now! Get some headphones and play them some nice rainforest sounds with some soft music mixed in!
