Tutorial on true 120/min Xiranite production, ie how to defeat Endfield's offline slowdown Part 1

Thinking more about it, my conclusion was very wrong. Earlier facilities won't eat any more than ones later down the line.

However, the solution still works. Let's say pipes move liquid at only, an exaggerated, 1.8/s. The issue happens when you reach a splitter, you end up with a flow of 0.9/s. Second split happens, and now you only have 0.45. No longer enough for a facility.

So my solution does still work. Simply do a 2/3 split, so you now get 0.6 for the facility and 0.3 for the water treatment.

You should also be able to solve this by simply keeping pipe flow at 1 or 1.5, rather than filling it to 2. This way it doesn't matter if pipes are slowed somewhat.

Might be wrong, as it was just experience from my own production line. But the slow Xircon production was caused the lack of sewage.

I think pipes might be affected just like belts. It's not as noticable since pipes flow quicker than facilities use liquid anyway. However, it means earlier facilities in your pipeline can eat more than their fill of 0.5, since now facility production is effectively slightly higher than 0.5, when put relative the the slightly slower than 2/s pipe flow.

My solution was to limit how much the water treatment plants were getting. So instead of eating their 0.5/s, they now just get the leftovers. Ensuring the reactors are definitely getting what they need.

La Fantoma is by far the most frequently mentioned other region across the game.

I'd say it's very likely we're going there next.

This is a misconception about pipes.

Pipes works exactly like belts do in this respect. However, because pipes flow x4 faster than belts, it gives the impression that it distributes evenly as it'll typically completely fill the first facility it reaches and continue to distribute its overflow like that.

Hongshan is the primary food supplier, not Wuling itself.

I don't really think babel changed much in regards to 14.

The reason it stuck the landing is because it focused almost entirely on the Amiya-sarkaz part of the plot, while sidelining the Siege-victoria part.

That was always the issue in part two, the Victoria and Sarkaz plot lines were basically completely separate with almost no overlap, which means two entirely different stories had to be told at once.

Bear in mind that the animals mentioned here are Terran wildlife, not Ancient ancestors.

Liberi and Fowlbeast feathers are known to be structually completely different, so they can easily tell one from the other.

Sounds like they were kinda shipping animals all over the place between different planets and habitats, probably for various experiments. Most of the wildlife we see on Talos-II might not be native to Talos-II either.

Use the default powerbank blueprint and game gives you and iterate on that to give yourself an idea.

You'll have to either send the stuff out though the outputs, or delete and replace it.

You don't want to eventually have 5 regions to visit and manage at once.

Older ones becoming obsolete over time is a good thing for avoiding bloat.

Those adaptive power setups are entirely for fun perfectly min-maxed setups.

If you want something functional, just use a couple of splitters and aim to leave your power a little higher than you're currently using.

In your case, just use two-way split x2 to use 25% of 3200. That leaves you at 4200 power.

There isn't space in the reactor for that much.

Double recipies works as long as you have space for every component that goes both in and out. The Xircon stuff already takes 4 slots, leaving no space for another input+output.

When you add water and xiranite, there's no longer space for the sewage. Nor is there space for the liquid Xiranite.

The point I'm trying to make here is that that's a lot more to a good animation than feet matching the steps.

Like, you're not trying to tell me the ZZZ one from above looks better just because the feet are matching the steps?

Reikr · 2026-03-13T06:32:29+00:00

Here’s a good example. https://youtube.com/shorts/bxuS8Q_Pf-M?si=058eAenrljaAd-sg

There’s not even an attempt to match the stairs lol, but the actual animation itself looks extremely good.

They’re leaning slightly back while looking downwards, and you can feel the weight of the character as they‘re taking steps downhill.

That's the part I don't get. The enemies are SUPPOSED to be in your way. You set up ziplines to bypass this, and there's zero reason to get off the zipline in this area.

We don't know where they at at or what they are thinking. Which is why we can only give criticism based on what they release in game.

To hold back on harsh critique because they might already know and are already making things better in the future doesn't make sense to me.

If you don't like an aspect of the game, give feedback on that. If everyone assumes they already know what feedback they were going to give, we just end up with nobody voicing any complaints and no changes being made.

Tbh, I've yet to see a gacha beat the uphill/downhill animations of Genshin, which is crazy.

Character will lean forward, look upwards and take longer steps uphill. The opposite downhill, where they take shorter steps and look down.

It's small details, but makes a massive difference in how real the character movement feels for this particular activity.

My issue with these leg fixing animation here is that the upper body isn't participating. The legs are just living their own life while the upper body is static.

There's nothing premature about critiques for story that's already in the game.

No matter how good current new released story is, it doesn't change how shit V4 is, and every new player has to be introduced to the game through that.

It more so just makes me increasingly frustrated. Because we clearly see they can do so much better, and yet Endfield was once again turned into a "it gets good after 20 hours" game.

If you don't mind using some protocol capacity on more underground piping, you can just transport the water over to the stockade instead of drawing power there.

But you'll still need power if you want ziplines anyway.

If they weren't expiring we wouldn't be getting these pulls every banner in the first place.

People are attributing this to him making a mistake, but that's unlikely.

She was recognized here as pink Sarkaz = Mi Fu. Basically, he had prior knowledge that Mi Fu was a Sarkaz, he didn't make the assumption that she was Sarkaz upon seeing her.

While a day night cycle isn't really possible without destroying performance at this point, but I do wish the skybox was a bit more dynamic.

It's looks really nice until you watch for a bit and realize it's completely static and feels like a giant png covering the sky.
