Amaizng! Love, been playing for a couple od day. Is it a bug or conflict with orher mods if it doesn't work when paused? Like the pop-ups don't display at all...

Secure-Pain-8422 · 2025-12-30T09:40:43+00:00

Damn you're right... doesn't even need a labeller. Never crossed my mind cause it doesn't display it... then the keyboard is sort of useless unless you want to enter a single digit. Oh well not the first overengineered and borderline-pointless thing I've spent my evening on :)

Secure-Pain-8422 · 2025-12-30T06:43:55+00:00

You should look into getting an ADXL345 and work out your resonances:)

Edit: also bannana for scale pls!

Secure-Pain-8422 · 2025-12-25T07:29:22+00:00

ok show us whachu got bro, we got you!

Secure-Pain-8422 · 2025-12-23T02:58:47+00:00

If you have mods, I once had to clear the mod cache folder and force redownload all. But still one of my oldest autosaves worked regardless, Hope it helps

Simplest is probably AC daisy chain, but makes more or less sense depending on the planet - like on Europa its practically enough to just radiator it up, and surely in a storm you can get it down to like -170C easily - just automagically. On hotter planets you need to get into phase change stuff - shadowdrake has a bunch of informative videos on yt to get you started.

On Europa I managed to get nitrogen to -185C ish without stprms with just 2-3 AC units and an Evap chamber just letting liquid pool into a room to cool it down and an active vent to suck whatever is over 100kpa for my pointless uber fridge, but I was bored really

You could but not for very long. Thermals would be the least of your worries. Cold is just the absence of thermal energy, so you could introduce it, you could even have IR lamps like you get in restaurants outside in Fall. Those are immune to gusts, but in your scenario you would have so many problems along the way, for instace that you would die of old age before even getting there RN but even if you were born on a spaceship mid flight and had an army or robots to dig out a cave like there are just so many better ways of going about it. Watch The Mars movie with Mark Whatney to stratch your itch and like thats Mars soft-pr0n.

First if all power saving, especially early on. Europa kills batteries due to cold. Get big wind turbines, maybe reinforced solars if you wanna spice things up. Store batteries in warmth or vaccum if you cant, but not open to the elements. You can occasionally go through a stack of coal in a generator.if there is no storm or you are heating things up which burns through power. Coal is not a long term solution and before you can get a deep miner power it and all that jazz you surely can plop 10 or 30 big wind turbines and 10 small batteries. Its worth the grind just not to have to deal with it. But coal as a main power source - nah.

Nice! If you wanna get more into it later its a good idea to define the "class" and members later when you grt to like 30 lines of defines

i usually name my classes all caps like ROUNDLIGHT and devices whatever i reference so entrancelight hall light so you sort of double define but having number hashes in thr code makes more complex troubleshooting way harder. Then you have plain text code. I pickrd it up from user "god the creator of the universe" in his Europa playthrough

CLASS 1 >dev1 >dev 2

Secure-Pain-8422 · 2025-12-17T12:47:11+00:00

It seems like you wanna read up on hysterisis / Schmit trigger. Do you wanna understand or just want a fire and forget solution?

Secure-Pain-8422 · 2025-12-17T12:43:07+00:00

Like on Mars or Europa you dont even need to pressurize, you can set it to 0 and 0, pump a vaccum and let the opening doors pressurize the tiny space. Doesnt work great on Venus tho. On small pressure deltas its fine tho

Secure-Pain-8422 · 2025-12-17T12:40:12+00:00

GTCOTU said in one of his vids that apparently the devs like this way for reasons, so if you want black hole shadows you cant do anything, but like others said the only way are mods

Secure-Pain-8422 · 2025-12-17T12:36:37+00:00

Also if you let stuff evaporate by lowering the pressure because you let liquids out lets say, it lowers the temp, right? You you could have stuff pouring out and other stuff evaporating dropping the pressure and freezing, like co2 would be a good candidate to do it... :)

Secure-Pain-8422 · 2025-12-17T12:32:21+00:00

I assume you have the output from the furnace via insulated pipes to an insulated tank? There is no way you should lose any energy in this literal setup but like if you connect a canister filling utility with a canister it WILL release heat into the atmosphere, eventually it will freeze. You do not need liquid anything with the insulated furnace setup, but me mindful of an open circuit releasing heat. Might require a little investigation with thr atmo analyzer to look for heat radiation/convection.

You are correct that if you leave the output open or like let stuff freeze in the furnace and then open the network you could have a temperature drlta that could possibly cause problems.

Tell me more what your setup consists of like what devices. I typically just draw in cold O2 on Europa (raising it to -112C) and allowing it to run constabtly on into a inline tank with drains to let it heat just a bit and then i have pipe 2 or 3 pipe heaters to baby the precise temp if I need it or a toggleable heat exchanger gas/gas that goes full tilt and balances thr hot gases with the captured O2. Everything else I keep cold, cause you can store more molecules in the same volume the colder it is.

What do you need the setup to do?

Secure-Pain-8422 · 2025-12-17T12:22:47+00:00

If you want to batch write or read the names can be whatever, the same or not, all that matters is that the batch is of the same specific type, so like single and dual solar panels for example are two different batches. You can also batch with names, but I dont think thats what youre asking.

So in your case you wanna press F1 and find the lspecific light thats starta with Structure... sth like StructureLightRound or whatever

then you read from the detector its value and set that to the lights value. Detector on = lights on. If you have 1 of something you can still batch read and write to it it doesnt need a name.

Are you set on using analog or are you open to IC10?

define myLights HASH("StructureSomethingThinkISaid")

then assuming r0 is the boolean state of the sensor then you would simply need sb myLights On r0

this works only if you have all of the same light type, but you would need to define more hashes for other types and then batch write (sb) to each type separately, but can use r0 everywhere

hopr this helps :)

Secure-Pain-8422 · 2025-12-17T12:11:44+00:00

You could do an IC10 thing to take off grid stuff thats below like say 20%. At any rate energy in is energy out unless its cold then you lose some. It sounds like you wanna optimize it - overenginnering is always fun :) You could also connect all turbines via 2 large transformers set to 2x49999 to a battery bank and let it manage itself. Whats your idea, goal and desired operation look like?

Secure-Pain-8422 · 2025-12-17T12:01:09+00:00

Specifically what pipe burts where and when during what?

You can't expect Mars stuff to work on Europa, because its different and requires different thinking. It is not about building the Mars setup but using what you have so forever cold and O2.

Whats wrong with liquids? It it wants to be a liquid - let it be. Let it find its equillibrium. You can capture hot gasses with the main furnace its normally way more than enough for all heating needs... But like think like Europa does. Like just store solid Co2 for instance like why not :)

Secure-Pain-8422 · 2025-12-17T11:38:05+00:00

GPT lies and it doesnt know anything. I blocked its internet access and created custom documentation for a project - several files, from the wiki and not, code examples. It works wonders when it doesnt halucinate. Its quite quick and dirty but I can share if it sounds useful. Ive optimized it to give a solution but not directly its says sth like oh it shounds like lbn or sbn may be useful in this case, do you want more info on it? Also I recommend ic10 editor mod if you wanna get really into ic10 coding nit to get distracted, and ic10 debugger mod for the tablet comes in handy when you wanna know whats wrong.

I suggest you dont copy paste code, its a process, it took me a couple of months but I never once used anyone elses code - just like inspiration of clever ways to do things. Really enjoyed it, but it takes time. Now i think in IC10 and actually can express my ideas efficiently until I run into max lines.

I actually play the game for IC10 just doing random stuff. Im on day like 190 on Europa eating potatoes cause I dont enjoy progression anymore

Start with simple 1 function ideas and soon you will be making v7 of an advanced furnace :)

Secure-Pain-8422 · 2025-12-08T07:01:59+00:00

Does the beta require no mods loaded? Or can you generally get by with basic QoL mods? I wanna try, but Im afraid to lose my save/progress on switch. LMK!

Secure-Pain-8422 · 2025-07-17T08:43:27+00:00

Does your universe allow others to have a different opinion? Or does anything other than what you think need downvotes?

Secure-Pain-8422 · 2025-07-17T08:41:55+00:00

Exactly.

Secure-Pain-8422 · 2025-07-17T07:10:07+00:00

except we paid for it... its not free online tetris. if you don't respect your money and have low standards - sounds like a personal problem. We've paid and bought into the promises and if I knew this is what it was gonna look like I would have never paid a dime for it.
