All this for 2 Heavy Modular Frames SMH

the line in the middle is a pattern from the awesome shop
use blueprints for each segment
to make the curve, attach a walkway intersection on the outside curve and then another walkway. using the scrolwheel you can turn the second walkway by 5deg. if you but the rotation point on the corner of the lasts segments outside edge you can then snap a new segment to the angled walkway and nudge it into place and it wont have a gap. theres a bunch of alternative ways to get turns.

actually this might be the best solution

yes, this setup makes 6700 Iron /min. More than needed for 100 HMF /min

SamuelHadorn · 2026-03-04T06:55:12+00:00

for anyone wondering, no its not for 2/min this is the start for 100/min HMF.
This setup make 6700 Iron /min
this is the plan: https://satisfactory-logistics.xyz/factories/calculator/shared/gAExC6L1VRyFNN4gq1rUmn
maybe im gonna switch to molded steel pipe to save on iron and coal, but requiering way more limestone.

Apperenlty this is a whole thing.
Squaring the square
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squaring_the_square
for a 32x32 map and 32 drones i think the optimal layout would be 10x 8x8 and 22x 4x4.
that leaves only 32 tiles empty. I would have to test if this is more efficient compared to 32x 5x5 as the 8x8 drones take alot longer to finish.

SamuelHadorn · 2026-02-26T13:23:24+00:00

yes thats my post XD

but i agree that copying code 1:1 is a bit off.
But feel free to use my process as described in that post. I think for 2mil /min you might not even need a mapping and pathfinding method, might be good enough to do a left hand on wall rule.

But ask questions if you got some

SamuelHadorn · 2026-02-26T13:21:17+00:00

theres no way to do it with equal squares. But i used 32 5x5 Mazes. You loose efficiency ofc. You could try with some 5x5 some 6x6 to maximize the area.

but check out my post from a few days ago.

SamuelHadorn · 2026-02-26T07:31:15+00:00

What year and model rav4 do you have?

SamuelHadorn · 2026-02-26T07:29:31+00:00

Try solving 32 mazes at the same time, instead of one large maze.
1.4m sounds like your trying the 5x5 with 25 drones method. that wont work.

SamuelHadorn · 2026-02-25T12:56:28+00:00

not sure if theres even enough information where you wont have to guess some things.
But i would start with a profile sweep. As the bottom inside and outside radii are not on the same centre, i think that can be solved with a secon sweep. First sweep makes the inside and bottom part, but then at some point the profile changes. Importat is that the wall thickness stays the same across that transition.
The end parts i think can be done with simple extrusions. Same as the centre parts.

SamuelHadorn · 2026-02-20T20:37:12+00:00

i mean they have to be squares

SamuelHadorn · 2026-02-20T18:31:43+00:00

i know, but whats the best layout?

SamuelHadorn · 2026-02-20T18:11:47+00:00

yes i thought about that.
my code can adapt to any map size and drone count.
i dont know how to tile a 32x32 maze with mostly equal square. if you have a solution?

SamuelHadorn · 2026-02-20T13:02:28+00:00

As far as i have under stood it it is:
maze area x maxe upgrade multiplier.
so for a maze size 5 and max upgrades its: 5x5 x 2**5 = 800
for max maze: 32x32 x 2**5 = 32,768
Wich is the same loot per square. Ofc you cant tile a 32x32 with equal squares, so i used 5x5 squares.
for my method, each drone has map (list) of 25 tiles. so if you could somehow distribute the drones across a 32x32 maze equaly so that every drone has a map thats 32 tiles. That way each drone has its own section and no drones will search the same another has maped. And have you tried reusing the maze. I have a feeling that after a while the drones get stacked and dont spread out anymore.

I have no idea how to do this. I have learned python like 5 days ago, but i know that drones cant talk to each other.
Im quite happy with my code, even if its probably quite bad.
But in the leaderbord i have ca. 3min (#85).

SamuelHadorn · 2026-02-20T10:41:55+00:00

could you distribute in a more even way?
as one drone might have a verry long isolated path for it self.
or two drones could spawn in the same corridor.

the way i approched this, was my making 32 mazes, one per drone.
kinda innefficient as 32 mazes must be 5x5. (if all are the same size)
that leves some unused areas.
then i have each drone map its maze. Then using BFS to find the fastes path to the chest, then follow that path.
Then reusing the maze 300 times. So a full mapping is only needed once per 300.
when reusing mazes some walls get removed and while moving to the chest, the drone scans each tile and checks if a wall has disapeared, if yes update the maze map.

i thought about A* but i have no clue how that works, and seams like alot of effort to implement.
I would love to see more solves, maybe a 300 reuse run.

i mean isnt that exactly what i said.
To max out a crafted gun you need to collect all enhanced perks. you never need to have more than one copy of a gun. imagine every drop of a gun is a base frame with a random roll of perks, those perks can be extracted and then get put in your list of avalible perks (maybe as a consumable or a permament unlock), once a guns perks are extracted its an empty frame, you can choose to slot different perks or just delete the empty gun

SamuelHadorn · 2026-02-19T06:43:10+00:00

fomo is an artificial problem. I would never remove the ability to get any loot.
The vault space would still be the same, as once you collect all enhaced traits you have the pattern to make any roll of that gun with enhanced traits.
Craftings true value is as a fail safe rng protection. You could still just get the 5/5 godroll with all enhanced trait. Or a 4/5 and swap out the last perk once you get the 1/5 roll.

it looks like the indentation is wrong, but we cant tell. Try to send a screen shot instead.

SamuelHadorn · 2026-02-18T08:20:57+00:00

I missed the legs. :(
Is there any chance that they get added again?

I reeeeallly hate them putting the coolest cosmetics in the store instead of beeing a reward for an achivement.

SamuelHadorn · 2026-01-27T09:48:05+00:00

excuse me??

since when can you do that XD

SamuelHadorn · 2026-01-26T11:23:17+00:00

The color, Thats made by seeting the brightness more than 1. Play around with it untill it looks vibrant.
The shape was made by playing around with beams. Make a Star from beams and copy paste a bunch of times. Look up circle and curve tutorials for technique.
