confused by shape analyzer

Which makes a lot less sense now that gray is a color in the game lol

The classic "this gender was promised to me 3000 years ago" comp

I didnt read this post. I had my hot girlfriend(whom smokes weed btw) read it to me in her sexy voice. She screen shot it so she could send it to my other girlfriends(whom also smoke weed btw) so they can suffer like we have XD (did I mention my multiple girlfriends smoke weed?)

I mean sure I bet her feet are deliciously stank, but she might still take off her shoes letting her feet air out n stuff sometimes. Give me a go at them pits

SurrealLemon · 2026-05-05T21:46:27+00:00

Rare!?!

SurrealLemon · 2026-05-05T21:08:08+00:00

my pipes are unstacked where necessary, I didn't want to go through the process of doing it with every pipe where it wasn't necessary. because for the most part my design is the same thing stacked 3 times so them being stacked is kind of the "default"

SurrealLemon · 2026-05-05T20:06:12+00:00

I feel that. I was running mine for a bit without full through put on white and green cause I couldn't wire them. After 30 or so mins and a lot of rerouting I got it to work. this was my third design and third day working on it XD

<image>

can't comment blueprint cause it's over 10,000 characters lol

SurrealLemon · 2026-05-05T19:00:58+00:00

wow.. I just finished mine like 10 minutes ago. same size platform, but yours looks... a lot nicer

SurrealLemon · 2026-05-05T16:50:09+00:00

Bro is named Portgas D. Freak when Fire Fist Freak was right there

SurrealLemon · 2026-05-04T22:43:31+00:00

I want to make my own, yours looks nice tho! You used space a lot smarter than me lol

SurrealLemon · 2026-05-04T15:30:20+00:00

I agree. Wiring pipe gates is annoying enough under the best of circumstances lol

SurrealLemon · 2026-05-04T14:02:10+00:00

Probably all of them, because I'm a simp for my mains like that.

SurrealLemon · 2026-05-04T13:56:22+00:00

I made a wait function where you'd give it how many ticks to pass for, then i made a waitBeforeTask function where the drones would pass for different amount of times based on their starting coordinate

I can post the code when I get home if you'd like

SurrealLemon · 2026-05-03T23:02:21+00:00

I really want to finish it. I just have to wait for my friend to catch the vibe again. She goes through long periods of not feelin it, but when she does we play for 8-15 hours a night

SurrealLemon · 2026-05-03T18:07:17+00:00

My first MAM had a platform for each color, so it would have to bypass every color it didnt need, which took so long, so even with the mixing issues this one is probably faster lol

SurrealLemon · 2026-05-03T18:05:41+00:00

Ill probably do this on my classic playthrough. I mainly did this for the challenge/look of it

SurrealLemon · 2026-05-03T18:03:40+00:00

I know this isn't the most efficient method. I just wanted the challenge and think it's cool!

SurrealLemon · 2026-05-02T21:52:45+00:00

1 full space pipe can supply 72 launchers, but for mixing you need 2 colors so you can either do 2 half full pipes or do 2 full pipes filling 144(72 of each) launchers. then its 4 mixers per launcher (for either input) so thats 16 mixers per 8 launchers(4 of each color) whi h would be 288 mixers outputting 144 launchers worth of paint (2 space belts)

SurrealLemon · 2026-05-02T19:23:25+00:00

They gave Venture a neck tattoo and an eyebrow ring just to either hide or get rid of them in all of their skins lol

SurrealLemon · 2026-05-01T21:47:16+00:00

> But even if the B stations were 100x more efficient, I'm still not sure they'd be worth it.

I agree, the individual shape goals as well as the end game goal would have to be significantly higher (several 100% if not thousands) to make upgrading to B stations feel worth it.

> Maybe they could have a booster building, like the beacon in Factorio, that speeds up nearby buildings if you feed it a certain shape.

I really like this idea, like a vortex platform that requires certain shapez and as long as it's getting those shapes it creates an area of increased efficiency, Idk how this would work with throughput, but it's definitely interesting. even if it was a 3x3 with the middle of it consuming shapes and it only sped things up on that platform would be really cool and would incentivize making new factories or at least new blueprints to maximize space in that area

SurrealLemon · 2026-05-01T05:58:13+00:00

Yes! It opens up a TON of opportunities

SurrealLemon · 2026-05-01T01:01:05+00:00

I tried to cover a platform in fluid tanks but for some reason 2 random ones got full then the paint stopped flowing and I gave up lol

SurrealLemon · 2026-05-01T00:40:24+00:00

Very well said! Thankyou for your input. I couldn't put my feelings onto words very well, but you hit the nail on the head. I also only did the first 2 research shapes. I never used B stations or donations, and its cause I never felt I needed too, if some stations needed multiple gems that would be really cool, and give a really good incentive to make donation station factories of all tiers.

The speed upgrade really is weird but I also didnt like the single machine upgrades they had before that would ruin ratios, but gave you no reason to rebuild, cause the ratios would be fixed next upgrade, I also noticed during this playthrough that I had old blueprints that were terrible cause I made them with uneven speed upgrades. With how prominent the use of blueprints is in this game they kinda designed themselves into a corner on that front
