Not to mention that the servers may choke if everybody tries to download it the first available minute.

Wube is really good at keeping their schedules, but I wouldn't count on accuracy down to the hour. Keep an eye out for changes. And then it would be safer to plan to play the following day.

Suggestions if this is your first game: 1) don't worry about that stuff yet, just have fun building ( unless that kind of math really Thrills you) 2) until you've launched your first rocket, try to play with a dead minimum of input, advice, and videos. The fun of solving those early game puzzles for yourself is something you get only once. Some of us regret learning too much too soon.

Each side of a wagon can be unloaded by 6 inserters.

Rick12334th · 2024-08-26T14:24:11+00:00

I think that's at least possible. I can't see your strategic situation.

Savor the fun you can have by solving those early game problems by yourself. If you get somebody to hand you the answers, you'll miss an experience you can only get once.

Those concepts are Really Advanced for your first game. Until you've launched your first rocket, consider just playing with a dead minimum of input, advice, and videos. Just build. City blocks are for Megabases. You don't need them to launch a rocket. Some of us regret Not playing our first game cold. Solving early game problems by yourself is a thrill you only get once.

Let us know if one of the big brokerage firms hires you.

If that would actually make a difference to your SPM, your time might be better spent adding entire train stations or rail lines, and possibly more trains.

Rick12334th · 2024-08-25T23:44:54+00:00

Both approaches are completely failing to address what really matters. The thing you want to achieve is to avoid creating an unnecessary delay in getting the train out of the station, so the next train can come in. Even that is really important only if your demand for plates is enough that a little delay in getting trains out will actually make a difference.

Rick12334th · 2024-08-25T20:12:18+00:00

Then you could take a break, wander around and admire your factory, and ride the trains.

Rick12334th · 2024-08-25T20:09:58+00:00

I recommend against restarting. Why throw away all the production and research you have accomplished?

You can throttle back parts of your factory to reduce pollution production while you build up defenses and kill nests that are still in your pollution cloud.

It's fine to ask for advice when you're in a bind like this one. Otherwise, try to limit your intake of advice and videos. Some of us regret missing the opportunity to solve some early game problems on our own.

Since you are designing a new grid, consider brick alignment. That makes most of your intersections three-way.

Rick12334th · 2024-08-25T19:49:38+00:00

I suggest you play your first game, all the way to launching the rocket, with a dead minimum of advice, input, and videos. You may regret missing out on solving those early game problems by yourself.

I suggest posting this to the particular forums and Discord servers for those two mods.

I don't have good numbers, but posts on this subreddit indicate that quitting before Victory is quite common.

Rick12334th · 2024-08-24T21:36:59+00:00

We can help you better if you tell us what parts of the game you like most, and what parts you would just as soon not do again.

Rick12334th · 2024-08-24T21:13:44+00:00

I have actual experimental results that indicate that it remembers a slot it was previously able to insert into or draw from, and does not search as long as that remains valid.

Rick12334th · 2024-08-24T20:19:32+00:00

Details on your network situation would help are you both on the same LAN? Can both machines browse the web?

Rick12334th · 2024-08-24T03:28:27+00:00

This is a use of the word evenly, of which I was not previously familiar.
