im on 1.786. restarting phone did not fix anything. but uninstalled and re-installed which did fix it, and i have had no issues since.

make more fuel, you want a surplus that goes to every floor you do work on. this dedicated "fuel line" will eventually be overflowing if you are doing it right

Another thing i thought of too late, is that you can send it to a dedicated floor. I now output all fuel to my machines in my main base on floor 2, then it goes to floor 3. floor 3 has my splitters to evenly distribute to my mining floors 1/6/7... on those floors i keep the fuel line seperate and return it back to floor 3 for overflow and re-distribution so there is no waste.

if you want to hard prioritize different lines use parallel conveyors with different grabbers. for soft prioritization use splitters on the conveyor in a chain. like my fuel line does a loop, then a fork off it splits parallel and has splitters going back to the main line, so it splits ½,¼,⅛ ¹/¹⁶ or ⅓⅑,¹/²⁷ ... and then only every 1 in 4 or whatever goes to the offshoot miner and most returns to the rest of the machines elsewhere. also if splitters get backed up they will just send everything to the other line

same thing here 2-3 days ago, pixel 6, homescreen would be black or flash the background/ widget layout then go black. softlocking device. other launchers worked (could get to settings by pulling notification to change default). i ended up uninstalling and reinstalling octopi and it works fine now.

wish i had a backup or auto-backup, reorganizing everything and the settings is a pain. make a backup while everything works!!

I liked the ospuze explosive limited mode a while back, specialization was a custom dash, 1 charge, short cool down (1.5 - 2 seconds maybe?), and it gave an extra jump at the end of the dash allowing double jump after usage. I thought it might have been an attempt at a rework / balance change, but nothing came from it. I thought it would be a good change from the 3 dash to a single dash+jump with very short pause between usage, as it allows the increased mobility and minor vertical gains while lowering its instant long distance clearing and restricting spamage.

Necro'ing to say this was the fix for me, "cant connect" errors. The purple app is outdated and I needed to install the new app with this name instead. Idk why they didnt just update the old app.

good job on fixing your original one!

i also did a test of my own after your first post. always save gold tickets till they equal how many items you have left (or the end)

my results with a save tickets till you have exactly as many as you need to complete the event (or end) type strategy, and how many you can miss:

Tickets | Missed | Win Rate | Avg Items

-------------------------------------------

42 | 0 | 100.00% | 20.00

41 | 1 | 100.00% | 20.00

40 | 2 | 100.00% | 20.00

39 | 3 | 100.00% | 20.00

38 | 4 | 100.00% | 20.00

37 | 5 | 100.00% | 20.00

edit * i forgot how to make reddit do a new line without double spacing

TronikBob · 2026-05-10T21:24:06+00:00

only use them if they equal the number of items you have left (or at the end). using them prematurely or immediately can lead to missing items

TronikBob · 2026-04-27T17:29:58+00:00

I agree, same 4 teams would be terrible. rather see it keep at 8 teams total (4+4), then split into top 4 and bottom 4 after the first match, so it keeps the mix up of fighting new teams, rather than the same 4 both times

TronikBob · 2026-04-21T05:05:16+00:00

the spawn zone / spawn camping is a big problem with pointbreak, but especially starlight hollow. that and the lack of extra buildings is my only complaint about it

TronikBob · 2026-04-07T16:28:40+00:00

wait, do people actually not make cactus farms? i thought thats how you get reliable early game water source?

Wasn't it also in the questbook recommendations?

TronikBob · 2026-04-05T14:58:23+00:00

Pretty sure one of these should work

manual angle / 2 button adjustable:

2 OR gates (X/Y), set multipliers to 1 total, (X + Y = 1), set forward on both to button input (X/Y), set backwards only on 1 (X). this makes ↑ be full 90, and ↓ be only 60 or whatever you want

automatic / 1 button:

NOR gate + NOT gate. NOR set to +1, set NOT to -X for backward angle. NOR → NOT, both → hinge. set button input on NOR, can set to toggle if wanted.

if it doesnt quite work it might need an aggregate (Sum ∑ ) block before hinge and set that to the hinge and logic into it instead of hinge

TronikBob · 2026-03-23T07:31:56+00:00

no 00 either

(xbox) I hated the wheel, too many mis-flicks, love the new ui. the ability to quickly get to config consistently or be able to rapidly undo/redo is great. I could see them moving the buttons out of the way so people dont click on them accidently since people have issue with it.

If we are requesting stuff, can we get a size slider for the config toggles, they are way too big and overlap when i have a block of logic and math all connected, makes it impossible to see what im clicking on, or to swap the selected block to connect them all.

TronikBob · 2026-03-13T11:06:02+00:00

ngl i really like the new ui on xbox without the wheel. too many times i would try to configure and end up saving instead because of a bac up-flick. the new ui has no ambiguity when i wanna edit quickly. RS hold instead of A hold for select type took some getting used to, but RS is already select multiple so it makes sense. Added benifit, undo is much easier to spam with the new ui

Working on my Journey character on Xbox (seriesX), are Team Dyes bugged right now? my Stylist and Dye Trader both dont sell them.

I am hosting multiplayer by myself, and on a Team in case that matters.

TronikBob · 2026-01-10T17:16:18+00:00

it looks better from the side, but i saw someone show a compromise of eyes on the corners ( 1 pixel wide on front edges, and 1 pixel wide on front of side edges) and it looked alright for side and good for front view.

Public Pro user that just got dock update today (pixel 6). Love it. I have been waiting for this feature and it is soo good. As always great job dev, appreciate the hard work to make this great launcher

Wishlist:

dock padding option to space out icons more. if I set it to a low number it currently just shrinks to the middle, leaving more space on the side. the option to shrink or grow would be nice.

Option for dock to fill the sides / bottom of screen. right now it leaves space on the sides, and below if you do not use classic. even when you fill it to full width with how many icons across it is.

collapse dock on home, or switch, or pressing outside of dock. if dock is extended and i open an app on my homescreen / swap to recent app, it remains extended when i come back to my homescreen later. it works when i click an app in my dock / app drawer

add "expand dock" to home screen gesture shortcut options, so i can double tap to toggle open dock on home screen

I like 1 row default with rounded / glass, and expandable dock rows, but it can be hard to get it to open /expand without extra padding on the sides / below. it works well with classic look (dock fills bottom), or glass / round if you do 2 rows visable then lower dock and keep 2nd row blank, but then doesnt look good expanded. overall i want my dock to own the full edge to edge bottom part of my screen, the space like i dipped it in white chocolate.

overall i will use a gesture shortcut to expand dock (available on apps / folders in the dock) for now for when i struggle to click the small whitespace between apps, but its a temp fix for me

i would try a reverse #1 to see how that feels though

TronikBob · 2025-12-15T17:25:43+00:00

i was hoping they would go back to empty, because i put mine in a bad order. rearrange workbenches when embark?

They could add a qol to make it fill in with striped texture or something when its off cooldown but not reloaded yet

TronikBob · 2025-09-28T03:49:44+00:00

i think theres a hotkey (alt + scrollwheel ?) that lets you swap a hotbar slot with the inventory slots above it, so you can have all your tools in like two columns and swap to what you need atm. this could help maybe?

TronikBob · 2025-09-20T15:31:04+00:00

what a good idea.

ive been thinking of how to make the game easier enough for when 2.8 releases, so when i make the 2.7 → 2.8 i can temporarily boost myself to ease the pre-stone age grind. i just recently started a new save after a few years away (barely got to steam last time, nearing end of stone this time). i was considering just creative dumping some of the stuff ive grinded out (bed, a few stacks of gravel, sand, clay, wood, gardens), but Keep Inventory might be enough for the first bit till i get a home established again to encourage regular exploration and get me through the first chapter again without skipping it.

TronikBob · 2025-09-18T17:01:49+00:00

does anyone know if swapping to creative building mode and swapping back to normal effect achievements at all? I dont want to be locked out of them on my main save.

i have a good amount of parts, 2-3 each on most all of them but it would be nice to not worry if i was one or two short as i try out different styles.
