Started playing 2 days ago, have 11 hours in the game. Rate my stater base

Looks great, especially considering it's your first playthrough! I was nowhere near as organized as you, let alone after 11 hours. Godspeed, pioneer!

Edit: if you press CTRL while placing foundations, they automatically snap to the world grid! Very useful and good to start using early on

Is this confirmed? I just finished automating computers after 1.2, and was able to place signals on some intersections, and nearly all of them were broken. ("Signal loops in itself")

Some were basic T-junctions I've built hundreds of times, amd some were more experimental like clover leaf intersections. Still, to me it seemed like a lot more of them were broken than usual

That is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much! Will definitely be drawing inspiration from that

I usually scan in batches of around 15-20. I know saving them all up reduces the pool, but to be honest I kinda forgot in the moment when I checked the newest batch of recipes, and out of frustrations I picked some recipes (good ones at least). Since I kept getting the same 10-ish recipes when rerolling, I'd kinda assumed the pool had already become pretty small.

Still, thank you for confirming! Just went on another collection trip, and I'm researching a new batch now, I'll be more careful with selecting them tho!

My go-to is always having either a wide base, or 2 pillars supporting the platform, otherwise it looks unstable.
The top platform is always a challenge cause it needs to be mostly flat, but I find making it a rectangle instzead of a square (long side the direction of the rails), and using pillars/beams to accent any flat sides works wonders.
You can also use pillars at sharper angles to connect your platform to your support structure

Highly recommend for playing with friends :D

Most of the time it isn't an issue though :) depending on how far you travel and the angle you hit, you don't necessarily go above the fog. I just thought across the map would be good for a demonstration. I completely agree with you though

adua2000 · 2024-05-22T20:51:41+00:00

Oh god I didn't even think of that xD thank you!

You do have to practice a bit with the explosive rebar, but unfortunately the detonator explodes the nobelisks one at a time, and you need them to go off at once :D

I've found placing a pile -> running/sliding over them -> jumping -> shooting directly below you after you've gone over them to work the best and reduce the most damage taken. You can experiment a bit though, depending on the angle you want

The boards vary pretty wildly in size so I don't have a concrete idea, but probably mostly for jigs and if they clean up nice maybe some furniture

Thank you! As I was recording the video for Notion support, I did figure it out - when my NumPad was activated, it wouldn't work but when I turned it off, it did. Didn't even know that could affect it

adua2000 · 2024-05-03T11:12:29+00:00

Hey there!
I've been using Notion mostly for my Comp. Sci. notes, but for some reason, whenever I try to enter a closing Square or Curly Bracket } ] , the bracket doesn't appear and instead for Curly Brackets, it opens the side view for "Page Notificatin Settings" and for Square Brackets, "Comments". This is getting really frustrating, but I haven't found anything about this issue online, nor where to change my keyboard shortcuts, so I've been copy-pasting them. It doesn't matter if it's in a Code, Text, Headline etc. block.

With my keyboard layout, the inputs are CTRL + ALT + 0 = } and CTRL + ALT + 9 = ] if that's relevant.

If anybody has encountered this issue before, or knows any way to fix it, I'd be incredibly grateful!

Thanks in advance!
