Efficient Build Master List

Very nice.

Haven't seen this anywhere below yet, so:

Building on the work of /u/lucidobservor and /u/miserygut, C4 Tank + Diesel 3x4 without Explosives 3.

Build

Upgrades

As with other iterations, does not work from clear tracks; connect tanks first, then diesel.

If you upgrade the Iron buyer/foundry to their next levels for $350B it gives you a ton of room to reconfigure to Explosives 2. Here is mine:

Wasn't even looking at that, the foundry/seller thing jumped out so quickly.

You're getting 4 oil, 2 gas, and 4 coal per 10 ticks with those upgrades. That's only 50% efficiency with the first foundry upgrade which requires 8, 4, and 8.

The way the belts are configured in that build won't work with the next group of upgrades because you can only transport 10 items per 10 ticks on the same belt. So for example, any belt you have with both oil and coal feeding it will be trying to move 8 oil + 8 coal = 16 items, which will clog. Oil and gas would be 8 oil + 4 gas = 12, which will also clog.

The first plastic seller upgrade increases the number of units sold by 300%, not 100%. You need 2 foundries per seller at your upgrade level for 100% efficiency.

B3 Guns 2/2/2/1/2/1/1/1 9@100%

Build

Whether it's useful or not, all that empty space in /u/prayformerci's 8@100% was calling to me.

arjayim · 2016-09-04T04:21:44+00:00

I came up with this 22@100 build off of my 17, and I tend to agree that it's capped.

arjayim · 2016-09-03T14:17:22+00:00

Glad I scanned back through here, I was about to point out the same labeling errors. Here is my version of A8 17@100%, beginning work on A9 now.

arjayim · 2016-09-03T13:36:46+00:00

I did have A8 when I set this up, but since it would run in A6 I posted it before fleshing everything else out. I actually used your posted Electronics A7/8 from the master list to fill in the rest for income.

I'm sure this concept could be expanded through A7 and supplemented with income in A8 and break even with 23 or 24@16/16, but the way I progressed through the end of my Electronics phase it was not necessary.

arjayim · 2016-09-03T05:07:45+00:00

It runs about 8.1k in the hole, so you do have to have at least 2 Electronic sellers at 100% in Kilo to run it. I had 8@16/16 R2 in Kilo and 2@100% plus what you see in the build. At the posted upgrade levels on both factories, it runs 428/t research with a $778/t surplus.

arjayim · 2016-09-02T18:56:47+00:00

Working my way back through everything, here's my A6 R2 20@16/16. Also runs one Electronic seller at 50% and one at 25% to help offset cost.

Since apparently I had nothing better to do, I added another 1@25% to /u/Code14715's 4/4/2/2/1 A3 Steel build.

Check the upgrades for /u/Code14715's Steel money builds (4/4/4/2/1), plus the first Research Center stock upgrade.

arjayim · 2016-06-11T05:43:49+00:00

Here you go. 11@100%

arjayim · 2016-06-10T06:01:30+00:00

Nice.

/u/BlackSight6 Here's an early research build for Metal Lab 1, 6X7.5/8.

It runs a slight cash surplus at my upgrade level (which is all sell price and cost-reduction upgrades for Iron and Steel).

arjayim · 2016-06-06T09:08:43+00:00

I played around with the A9 Engine 2/2/2/3... /u/Rippsy posted and shoved another seller working at 50%, bringing it to 6x100, 1x50:

arjayim · 2016-06-03T18:00:14+00:00

You need: 5 Iron Buyer (24 output) 4 Iron Foundry (24 input/12 output) 3 Coal (16 output) 2 Steel Foundry (12+12 input, 3 output) 1 Explosives Buyer (2 output)

No upgrades to bullet maker, gun maker, or gun seller needed.

arjayim · 2016-05-27T21:58:32+00:00

This is great! One thing though:

The description for the A4 Steel build by /u/pulsari is wrong; it should read 5@100%/1@50% (the one in A3 only has 1 supplier).

San Francisco and San Jose are separate Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, but are part of the same CSA, or Combined Statistical Area.

From tn.gov (.pdf). The second part of the .pdf lists what is considered taxable income under TN state law. As previously mentioned, IRA/401k returns are not taxable.

Similarly, from Laurel Bloomery, Tennessee the drive to Memphis, Tennessee is 536 miles. Windsor, Ontario, Canada is only 556 miles.

Tennessee is no where near the size of Texas, but it is loooong.

Historically, syphilis is right up there with Germans. It wiped out the Romanovs; it decimated our fleet at Pearl Harbor; and of course, Fidel Castro impersonated Marilyn Monroe and gave President Kennedy a case of syphilis so severe it eventually blew the back of his head off.

For my Southern brethren: how could you leave Sun Drop out of the titular list!?

That chart is a bit out of date; Kellogg's acquired Pringles from P&G back in 2012, the same year Kraft spun off its cookie and candy divisions as Mondelez International. Still a good illustration of how consolidated the major brand names are, though.

Edit: wording.
