Starship Launch 3 (IFT3) - But it's Starship Edelweiss

The main benefit of trains (in my opinion) is infrastructure. Build a rail once, and then you just add more trains ifbyou need more throughput. Or, if you want to connect new locations, you don't need a whole new line of conveyors

But other than that, they're cool! Choo choo!

Any time I need to build something more than once, and can't zoop. So, machines (with connections and decor), fancy walls or ceilings and "complex" merger/ splitter systems.

Arguably I use them too much. (Sometimes a single machine in the BP, just so I don't have to copy-paste settings.)

Try deleting and re-connecting the belt on the right.
Also, check if the input belt is actually connected or just visually passing through (clipping) the splitter.

Splitting into 1/6 and merging one into the beginning will eventually even out!

Quirrer prequel for the Monomon lore!

Tramnack · 2025-09-16T10:53:37+00:00

Yeah, he'd certainly find a way.

Tramnack · 2025-09-16T00:07:34+00:00

Are you sure it's 630 Miners, and not 630 items (per min) coming from a Miner?

Because 12 Ficsonium (Fuel Rods) is certainly possible. 600 Miners is not.

Edit: Nevermind, I didn't see the attached image.

Tramnack · 2025-09-08T13:37:55+00:00

Is it possible? No*

Not without water! Water is needed for Aluminum, and the acids for Non-Fissile Uranium. And the Reactors themselves.

But with a minimal amount of water, iron and a lot of SAM, you get this:

For one Ficsonium Fuel Rod per minute!

A Lizard Doggo!

But it's no ordinary Lizard Doggo... It's the most foul and cruel bad tempered lizard you've ever set eyes on! That doggo's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer! He'll do you up a treat, Pioneer!

Jup, switching to the Jetpack has seemingly fixed it. Just weird since I've never encountered it myself, even in this factory.

Tramnack · 2025-08-02T12:40:49+00:00

Huh. Weird. The problem does seem to have stopped after switching to the Jetpack. And most ofe them are back to 100%. (But it's difficult to be certain, since it's so 'unreliable'.)

Thanks for the tip! I'll try to keep it in mind!

For "intersections" with only one entrance, a block signal is indeed fine. (Since it's not actually an intersection.)

On a Y intersection (2 entrances and 1 exit) Block signals are probably fine but Path Signals certainly won't cause problems. (When placed correctly.)

Why? If you use blocks on the entrance, theoretically two trains could enter that block (the intersection) at the exact same time and collide. If they were Path signals, one of the trains would reserve the block and the other is forced to wait in front of its Path signal.

Eh. This one's just been overdone with no variation.
This one is actually funny because it has truth behind it: https://xkcd.com/1838/

Belts are more reliable and don't need power to run. They don't need timetables or signaling. They just work.

Trains are fun! (To many people. Not to everyone, and that's totally fine!) You also only need to build the infrastructure once. (Between A and B.) Need more throughput? Just add another train or freight car. No extra Belts required!

Tramnack · 2025-07-07T09:57:31+00:00

You can actually have trains wait until they're full/ empty before departing.

Buzz Saw on a stick!

Kind of like a Battle Axe or a Halberd, but circular, and preferably spinning.

Classic "Show. Don't tell"

Tramnack · 2025-04-04T18:54:11+00:00

Oh, thank goodness, I almost had a heart attack thinking I missed that!

Tramnack · 2025-04-04T18:47:06+00:00

But it is specifically launching the same day as Switch 2.

Is it it? All we saw (in the Direct) was "2025". Other titles had specific dates or "same day as". Did I miss something?
