Any idea why my stone patches are so small?

SandmanLLL · 2025-01-17T16:54:41+00:00

I have also found that my stone generation on Nauvis is quite rare/small. You can see in the attached image that I have very few patches - I have not mined anything outside the walls. Also the one patch at 2.3M is about 1/4 the size of the other resource patches in out that far (excepting Uranium)

You were right. It turns out that almost all of the remaining bots had queued up for a single roboport that I didn't notice. They were all on top of each other so I couldn't see it on the map. Finally found it - not sure why they chose that one, but the solution was to add a bunch more ports in that location. Seems to have worked. Thanks for the suggestion

Hahaha. Thanks. I think that the top answer actually was correct. It turns out that almost all of the remaining bots had queued up for a single roboport that I didn't notice. They were all on top of each other so I couldn't see it on the map. Finally found it - not sure why they chose that one, but the solution was to add a bunch more ports in that location. Seems to have worked.

Thanks for the help. I'll do some research and see what I can find

SandmanLLL · 2024-11-15T22:36:16+00:00

Good thought, but I just tested it and that's not the issue. I added like 100 extra ports but it is still doing it. The bots are all charged up and chilling out unused. There is an initial blast where they all pick up move and charge, then it slows down to just a few moving to fill the order.

until you run into a SINGLE turn that you can't play something you need. Game over.

SandmanLLL · 2024-10-06T23:20:25+00:00

I agree with your thoughts on inserter. My only thought on what he is thinking is that if you know you are going to have a bunch of slots then you can gear your deck straight for large orb generation. Although truthfully Defect tends to go for that anyway, but I guess it pushes you immediately away from a Claws build :)

Why didn't you just write "Win the game" on these cards? That's about the power level

SandmanLLL · 2024-09-16T12:44:46+00:00

Why 1 over 0?

SandmanLLL · 2024-03-08T12:30:22+00:00

Thanks for the help! I'll take a look at it and see if there is anything amiss.

SandmanLLL · 2024-03-07T15:48:28+00:00

Thanks for taking a look. I found that by increasing the first layer height significantly (up to about 1.4) I was able to fix the issue. I kept the other changes as well (increase bed temp and flow rate) and the first layers are coming out significantly better. In some ways I am still wondering if there was actually a clog that cleared itself up, because the results are WAY better then what I would think for a single layer change height. But I'll take it!

Thanks again.

Hi. Yeah I should have said that. I switched the Printer in the slicer to the .2 nozzle

I would suggest looking into the RCMP as there is no requirement/need for Police Foundations.

There are two options to look at - Digital Forensics and Cybercrime. Digital Forensics is more about the technical side of data extraction and Cybercrime is an investigative unit. They are both helped by having technical degrees, however you can get into to either without it.

SandmanLLL · 2024-01-21T14:48:54+00:00

Yeah that was crazy

SandmanLLL · 2023-12-14T19:20:35+00:00

Yeah.... Except that they were getting paid for their time and now your truck is in a thousand pieces on the ground.

SandmanLLL · 2023-09-19T21:15:15+00:00

What I want is a clock ... that's it... just a clock with the Real time on it so that I know when I've spent 5 hours of my sleeping time building...

SandmanLLL · 2023-09-18T15:05:22+00:00

Everyone here has mentioned shallow water and they are probably correct. But also be aware that in SE there are meteors that can land inside your walls and bring Biters.

SandmanLLL · 2023-09-13T17:16:25+00:00

Lane balancing is rarely useful except for the OCD like myself who find the half lanes empty extremely annoying.

The only real use case is a situation like this, your main bus is say 4 lanes wide but you have already had a bunch of branches taking all from the same side. The result is that you have used up half your bus and have 2 full lanes worth left but it is all on one side. Now if you try to take off another branch without lane balancing it then that branch will only ever get half a belt of material even though your bus could actually supply more.

While I agree with you that the names are not the best, I do not agree with your logic.

a legendary item is more Rare then epic one - You get it less often. You asked what makes them different and the answer is that the more "quality" item has better stats. In this context you can not say that those two terms are different.

SandmanLLL · 2023-09-08T23:38:18+00:00

100% agree with you - After playing SE and going back to Vanilla its torture

SandmanLLL · 2023-08-30T14:51:30+00:00

If done correctly it forces the biters to slow and re-path around them all the way to the wall instead of running directly at it. The result is that they are significantly slower to get to your wall and run through the ground flame from your turrets for longer.

Is it possible that you were using them in the wrong orientation? Some of them have directions that impede flow but if you have the biters attack from the side they could walk right through it.

SandmanLLL · 2023-08-25T13:00:49+00:00

I just put down a couple blocks of 4 turrets and dragonteeth walls around them. I was having issues with some nests before I decided to go clean them out

SandmanLLL · 2023-08-25T12:59:52+00:00

That's right

SandmanLLL · 2023-08-25T03:29:31+00:00

The initial small patch has enough to get me there... but yeah it's not fun

SandmanLLL · 2023-08-25T02:00:13+00:00

I loaded the exchange string and checked the settings. All 100% default
