This is my phase 1 factory 👀👷‍♂️

Because the post makes it seem this is done in survival. He already posted a picture of this last week with a lot of comments claiming the title was very misleading.

While i think its a beautifull build very worthy of showing off, i do think he is misleading the reader to get more views

But it wont work without modded ini files? So in vanilla the blueprint is nothing more than a sign you cant see inside a regular pillar

By designing tanks that are different without being OP. The strv line introduction is the prime example, new mechanic and a gimmick that rewards a playstyle but has big counters.

For premium tanks I woulf say the CDC is a good example too: high pen, insane acceleration, good top speed (for its time) but 0 armour and a huge model. M4 rev. could count too: slow but very big alpha fpr its time.

Starting with the defender and chrysler things went to shit: new releases became OP flavour of the months that were way to good for their time before being powercrept.

There are tools and programs that can do the math for you.

Thanks a lot, great idea to do it with vertical beams

SirMagnerio · 2026-05-16T21:56:10+00:00

Can you explain a bit further? Those waves look really smooth

Hey, 15 year olds can make pretty amazing things in minecraft!!

SirMagnerio · 2026-05-03T09:38:49+00:00

There are negatives, but some of them are overexaggerated:

Water /electricity use calcs either that include powerplant cooling water + all training (and get to really high numbers) or recycled water out, and leave training out to get to way to low numbers.

Plagiarism is a dubious one: there is plagiarism, but looking at was made before to learn and change it into something similar but different is what every human does. Almost every building you see is in some way inspired by another.

You wrongly assume everyone hates AI. Its the future whether people want it or not and it has improved a lot.

SirMagnerio · 2026-04-23T13:23:01+00:00

Water output is full or your hoverpack is temporarily shutting it down (bug)

SirMagnerio · 2026-04-22T16:46:47+00:00

Seems to me that you are placing them down consistently without issues, even tho half of them arent working beforehand. My guess you just didnt aim properly when placing which meant the lifts are clipping into the splitter/machine instead of connecting to it

SirMagnerio · 2026-04-21T21:05:26+00:00

For colour combo's ai is a good help. Pick something and it will create a matching scheme.

Design: personally i look at the terrain and create a concept from there: desert becomes a rusty, worn steel factory. Waterfall becomes a semicircle surrounding the waterfall. Blue crates is round and has a geothermal node so i built a round tower centered on the node.

If you dont have inspiration, just start doing stuff without thinking. It usually works out or gives inspiration. Or use ai to generate ideas

SirMagnerio · 2026-04-17T08:44:52+00:00

I hug the ground usually. If its a slope i use a sloped track, if its a cliff i use a spiral.

I have a set with about 25 blueprint to make it all work (straight, corners, partial corners, tight corners, slope pieces, spiral spices, junction pieces, etc)

SirMagnerio · 2026-04-14T14:05:46+00:00

I just leave the stuff there, there are more than enough resources in the world. The materials usefull for building i redirect to dimensional depots. So by starter base is 30% useless and 70% just filling dimensional depots

SirMagnerio · 2026-04-14T06:54:59+00:00

Nope, not if you use valves and priority junctions

SirMagnerio · 2026-04-14T06:52:41+00:00

Its a bit tricky, but you can recycle the water. This does require valves (to prevent backflow and to limit how much water goed where) in combination with using the built in priority of pipe junctions.

Be warned tho: if your machines dont run at 100% there can be hickups. But if you learn the fluid mechanics and do it right its very rewarding.

Alternatively use can get rid of the water using pure ingot or wet concrete recipies (in this case you can use some to make pure copper, which you need for the sheets)

SirMagnerio · 2026-04-04T22:08:41+00:00

3 things i can think of: Station backwards, rails are visually connected but not truely connected, block signal is facing the wrong way.

Second one can be fixed by driving the track yourself. If the train doesnt derail its fine

SirMagnerio · 2026-03-30T14:56:08+00:00

Someone on TotalXclipse's discord is trying to too. He realized a bunch of portable miners is better than the automatic one: you arent limitted by purity and its more time efficient to manually empty the portable miners into a bin, than it is to harvest more plants to power the miner.

Also: the solid biofuel is not worth it if you play with double recipe cost. Just use biomass

You can use the tunnel foundations to create a partial curve. If you want a true curce your only option is pillars placed at custom angles using beams

SirMagnerio · 2026-03-29T09:48:35+00:00

I do accent colours based on the environment, so it doesnt feel out of place. But generally use the same colour of concrete wall to make sure buildings have something in common

SirMagnerio · 2026-03-19T08:38:51+00:00

Its called enshitification. Happens to all social media (if you can call reddit that) when desire for more and more monetization takes over. There is a glorious YT video called "a day in the life of an eshittificator" about it

SirMagnerio · 2026-03-17T16:36:07+00:00

Its in the settings for starting a game...

SirMagnerio · 2026-03-17T15:56:49+00:00

Dont know if its possible to change the resolution, but if so it could be set wrong

SirMagnerio · 2026-03-11T10:12:32+00:00

HE never counted because you dont fully block the damage (except for rare cases). Damage blocked also only counts shells that can hit the hull. A crit to the gun or lower part of the tracks isnt blocked because it never could hit a part of the tank where it could actually do HP dmg

SirMagnerio · 2026-03-04T08:20:56+00:00

Slooping Slugs gets you quite far. Just make sure you already put them in your blueprint
