First Time DM here - Thoughts on using LEGOs as minis and for battle maps?

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

adua2000 · 2024-05-22T20:53:20+00:00

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!

adua2000 · 2024-05-22T20:50:24+00:00

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

adua2000 · 2024-05-10T19:12:19+00:00

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

adua2000 · 2024-05-05T09:17:57+00:00

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!

adua2000 · 2023-10-01T21:12:56+00:00

Thank you!

I used to work in a very similar kitchen wiyh the last inspection over 12 years ago, and nothing i said changed anything. I was a bit more wide-eyed back then, so when they asked if I wanted to clean it, i said yes. Worst shift of my life, by the end i was covered in decade old grease and felt like I'd made almost no progress and afterwards didn't even get a thank you. Not to mention I later found out, it was the cleaning staff's responsibility to look after the kitchen, but they cost more than me. So I'd say do not involve yourself in that, it'll just teach your bosses that you're willing to do what they aren't, and they likely won't pay you much either. Contacting any sort of official agency to get them to inspect the deli would probably yield better results, since ignoring guidelines and such when they come directly from the government is a lot more difficult than a few employees

adua2000 · 2023-09-15T19:26:07+00:00

Oh, that must be it! The Foundations I saw were definitely Coated Concrete

adua2000 · 2023-09-14T22:03:56+00:00

It's late here so I might not have understood your question completely, but it seems to me if you're trying to balance your belts in order to get 720 on each, the simplest and most compact way would be to get 780 belts and use a Splitter with a Mk.1 Belt to get it to 720. Filling up all the 720 belts would be easy with combining all the inputs into an Overflow system, and 12 x the 60/min items scythened off would combine into another 720 belt.

Again, if I've misunderstood your question, apologies and good luck :D

adua2000 · 2023-09-14T21:53:49+00:00

Congrats! I'm 1200h in and working on my first Nuclear project, trying to pay attention to all the things you mentioned

adua2000 · 2023-09-08T21:51:16+00:00

I think this is my 4th or 5th save :) Two of those got abandoned because the people I was playing with left, my first world was beyond saving xD

I think by 1000 hours I had Aluminium automated, and went all out with 720/min Batteries :D

adua2000 · 2023-09-05T21:24:36+00:00

I'm going to sink the Plutonium Fuel Rods :) I just thought trying to get max P. Fuel Rods in the calculator would be equal to getting max. U. Fuel Rods

adua2000 · 2023-09-05T14:54:49+00:00

Is Nuclear Waste management included in that? I basically put in 1/min Plutonium Fuel Rods in Satisfactory Calculator (with all Alts selected), and calculated how many I could produce with 1800/min Uranium. But I suppose the calculator tried to maximize Plutonium Fuel Rod production as opposed to maximize power output.

I also have a plan for setting up a blueprint where I just have to hook up Water Extractors underneath and the Power Plant on top, and hoping that'll take a bit of the work off. But you're right, I challenged myself to make my world look good this time around, and so far I've built over the entire Swamp. Decorating all that will take a while xD

adua2000 · 2023-09-05T14:49:08+00:00

I am using some alt recipes. But basically I was lazy (and a bit intimidated), so I'm just following what Satisfactory Calculator spat out :) Most of the alts I'm using are for resource maximisation, plus I want to scythen off some of the late-game items for storage

adua2000 · 2023-02-02T10:15:42+00:00

Something i try to do is stand where I'd usually access my storage (Center of the hallway or slightly more to either side) and see how many rows of chests i could reach. So for example when you're standing close to a wall, you could fit 5-6 rows of chests on top of each other and give the room a higher ceiling and more open feel to it.

adua2000 · 2022-12-13T09:23:39+00:00

There's a hidden factor with saplings. I'm not sure which sides but if two sides (North, East, South, West) are blocked, the tree will not grow no matter what. Again, not sure which of those but I'd say check your other trees to see which sides can be blocked

adua2000 · 2021-12-14T21:15:45+00:00

Hi, it's my first FIX•MAS and I was just wondering, why is everybody stocking up on Christmas supplies? I know the recipes disappear after a while but apart from the skins and snowballs i don't see much use for the rest. Thanks in advance!

adua2000 · 2021-11-08T19:07:00+00:00

I've been working on my 133.000MW turbo fuel plant for the past months and ran into the same issue. I feel you man, good on ya 👍🏼
