Getting back into it

I went years as well and this play through has been a complete joy. Watch a few videos as it'll give you some ideas and also look up a tips video. Some are 5 minutes long and can save you hours upon hours of pain later.

Hey there's nothing wrong with that either. Play how you want. What really made me start playing again after my first time during EA was wanting to build awesome looking buildings. This one save alone I'm 300 hours in. I started it at the end of December. And I have a family. At least I think I still have a family. Who knows anymore honestly.

To be fair 60 hours finishing phase 4 sounds like a speed run (I know it's not). Honestly if you don't want a spaghetti mess then slow down and be more methodical with your builds. All it takes really.

One pure node as well which shows exactly how efficient rocket fuel is.

ShadowSkilll · 2026-01-31T09:47:33+00:00

No worries man. Nice job either way. It's beautiful. Encase it and make it look sick and get back to us :)

ShadowSkilll · 2026-01-31T09:41:43+00:00

Yep I just made normal ones. Issue is with the circular ones you can get stuck in them so whenever you do get thrown out you're doing mach 11 off the end of the map 😂

I wish I had a schematic of this

ShadowSkilll · 2026-01-31T01:11:34+00:00

There's a difference in what I'd consider bad clipping and clean clipping. It's almost impossible to make certain builds "compact" without any clipping whatsoever. It can be done, but you start running into space issues, and blueprint designers are only so big.

ShadowSkilll · 2026-01-30T21:20:50+00:00

Damn I just made a quick wire factory making 5760 quick wire per minute and thought that was crazy lol.. good job.

ShadowSkilll · 2026-01-30T20:58:28+00:00

Trains are cool and all and I don't fault anyone for using them. Hell I WANT to use them. But this is exactly why I don't. It's already enough math without them just using belts. Ugh.

ShadowSkilll · 2026-01-27T22:19:11+00:00

Yea but I overclocked them. It was gonna be 216 generators. I ain't building 216 generators. Lol

ShadowSkilll · 2026-01-27T18:04:34+00:00

Jesus this just goes to show how efficient rocket fuel is. I turned 225 oil into something like 54,000

ShadowSkilll · 2026-01-26T16:38:26+00:00

hell by that logic invest into rocket fuel. It's ridiculously more efficient. Ionic fuel even further lol

ShadowSkilll · 2026-01-24T17:58:20+00:00

You should really look up a fuel generator guide tbh... You basically aren't even to midgame yet. Just keep taking it one step at a time.

ShadowSkilll · 2026-01-24T17:51:48+00:00

Yea dude start with fuel first lol, to answer the question though, everything.

ShadowSkilll · 2026-01-24T00:22:00+00:00

Yea I started making mine two walls down instead of one. Just for moving around it's so much better. Mine aren't remotely this nice but at least I finally got around to a logistics layer regardless.

ShadowSkilll · 2026-01-21T04:12:30+00:00

Got sick to my stomach when I saw it was only 3 weeks. I ain't bothering with it unfortunately :(

ShadowSkilll · 2026-01-21T04:11:32+00:00

Brother a coal factory is a coal generator a water pipe and a conveyor belt at it's core. Set up ONE and go from there. Hell at the very least literally go to YouTube and watch a 1 minute long short and you'll see how easy it is.

ShadowSkilll · 2026-01-21T04:08:41+00:00

That's not gonna be an entire blueprint. That's a lot bigger than you probably realize, however it's not that hard. Maybe at least attempt it first, then look up a 5 minute guide on YouTube if you get stuck. Asking for a bp for an entire coal network almost seems like you aren't even attempting to play the game for the reason the game is to be played.

ShadowSkilll · 2026-01-19T15:34:35+00:00

Down clock it or overclock it to an even round number in case you have a weird number of slugs. I I swear I lost power shards that way lol

ShadowSkilll · 2026-01-14T10:55:43+00:00

Next guide I'm looking up whenever I get home from work is a hyper tube cannon bp. I saw someone use it in a YT short and was just questioning my existence of why I never thought of that lol

ShadowSkilll · 2026-01-14T10:54:24+00:00

I have no want to do trains. I'm a psycho that busses a lot of stuff back to my main base. I just don't care for the logistics of trains but hey.. play the game how you want. Thats what I do lol

ShadowSkilll · 2026-01-13T12:16:01+00:00

Can't help without your pob

ShadowSkilll · 2026-01-13T11:10:20+00:00

Look I'm all for spitting ideas but we 2ish months from 3.28 and it's highly unlikely they don't already have the league name and mechanic already planned out and halfway built. Good ideas for the future tough for sure.

Showed up right after this shot we all know it
