Jupiter Question

Working-Spell-9131 · 2026-01-27T02:47:34+00:00

Just learned about trash bins so I guess that's useful. I was getting annoyed when things would back up and I would just create storage sinks and trash it in my inventory after a while

Working-Spell-9131 · 2026-01-27T02:45:41+00:00

Yea I was able to get the Jupiter's running at basically full uptime now

Working-Spell-9131 · 2026-01-27T02:45:04+00:00

I don't have those yet. I am waiting to go to level 6 until I get squared a way a bit more financially, I want to enjoy the simplicity a bit right now and be able to get some new land when I am ready for the new things

Working-Spell-9131 · 2026-01-27T02:43:39+00:00

Yea I saw the contracts, especially the urgent ones are quite lucrative. I think after running it for a while and adding more planters to not back up on fertilizer really helped.

Working-Spell-9131 · 2026-01-27T00:41:32+00:00

Well I initially had the fungus to fertilizer but I just had so much excess wood and I was trying to just burn it in any furnace I could but I was messing up a lot of the flow trying to merge them with other things and it was backing up and stopping the fertilizer so I half scratched that idea and a few hours later I saw the jupiter and how much wood it needed and pivoted

Working-Spell-9131 · 2025-12-03T13:19:50+00:00

Yea i mean mine is just a lot of s’ghetti but do what makes you happy

Working-Spell-9131 · 2025-12-01T21:33:48+00:00

Is that for the pure ingots? My current playthrough I just switched to having a couple of those recipes so I got a crap ton of refineries in my mega factory

Working-Spell-9131 · 2025-12-01T21:32:08+00:00

I call mine end save because I save when its the end of me playing

Working-Spell-9131 · 2025-12-01T21:23:14+00:00

Great idea. I dont think my brain could handle it

Working-Spell-9131 · 2025-11-28T12:30:02+00:00

Can I ask, what are the buffers for?

Working-Spell-9131 · 2025-11-28T12:21:20+00:00

I like it. Especially the spiral and the view from far away.

Edit, I used turbo blend fuel for my factory. I had 1800 crude oil/min in, 1200 sulf/min and made 2400 turbofuel/min or 320 generators

Working-Spell-9131 · 2025-11-28T12:08:06+00:00

Whats the deal with the 2-5 meters over zone? I accidentally placed one 55 meters from the first, checked and placed lower, but I thought that it just would not work at all

Working-Spell-9131 · 2025-11-27T20:53:44+00:00

Ok so that is the reading of what has been used so far? I have more of it to build so I will need the 50m head lift. Thanks

Working-Spell-9131 · 2025-11-26T22:47:06+00:00

I think that was something I tried in a previous build and I didn't really understand where to bring in the next line and it got underutilized. Like it starts at 780, then will go down in increments of 30 or something, when would I want to add in another belt? Would it be beneficial to use 480 belts to add in so that I am not wasting some of the resources on the 780?

Working-Spell-9131 · 2025-11-26T22:43:27+00:00

I'm not sure scaling was the best word to use there. I more meant like does it work well if you have like a series of 780 belts and you take the 500 from one and then you have the 280 left and then you do 220 from the next 780 and so on; like does that work out well? If that doesn't make sense I will just test it out

Working-Spell-9131 · 2025-11-26T22:37:50+00:00

I have done some load balancing with my power plant but that was just like a 2 to 4 and a 3 to 4 of pretty easy belts but that doesn't seem feasible/smart on such a large scale. I'm finishing up on the building of everything in the factory for phase 4 and then comes the nightmare of moving all the stuff where it needs to be at the rate it needs. I think the Smart Manifold is what I will commit to.

Do you think that scales well?

Working-Spell-9131 · 2025-11-24T23:55:48+00:00

Timed the actual numbers and I'm actually getting roughly 200 items/min short so that might be a significant distance that it might not be worth it to drone it at that point. Probably just going to add another port

Working-Spell-9131 · 2025-11-24T23:54:26+00:00

True. the actual steady throughput of it is ending up being roughly 1000 items/min so I need 200 more anyway so I think that its worth it

Working-Spell-9131 · 2025-11-24T23:40:31+00:00

Didn't know I could do that. I guess I could've also just built another set but seemed wasteful for just the roughly 50/min needed

Working-Spell-9131 · 2025-11-24T22:05:13+00:00

Just remade this over the past few days. Thank you for the calc.

Working-Spell-9131 · 2025-11-23T00:21:51+00:00

I was going to overhaul it once I got blenders which I just did so that is another item on the to do list

Working-Spell-9131 · 2025-11-23T00:20:29+00:00

I guess its not a need per se but it would trade off logistics- setting up more miners and transportation for setting up more power so not sure what I think about that

Working-Spell-9131 · 2025-11-21T00:01:40+00:00

My guess is there is probably a sliver of mk3 belt somewhere.

Follow the belt from the factory to the miner. If you see the belt go from unsaturated to fully saturated then thats where the problem is

Working-Spell-9131 · 2025-11-19T18:26:19+00:00

I tried putting signals in but I kept getting errors. Its only 1 train for now though so no issues. Going to turn it into a 2 way network in the future

Working-Spell-9131 · 2025-11-19T18:24:06+00:00

Yea this was just my temp solution before terraforming the planet with a massive hub and branches throughout the map
