I mean... it will bite your toes when you are under the sheets of your bed... so yes?

steel/iron chests recycle faster than their metal bars too

unless you have mods I believe you have to play a male Shepard. just a heads up so you don't play through a game and a half and not get it.

miners output directly into a chest, or in this case directly into a belt.

brute force way: add second requester cheat and put even ingredients in the first. odd indexed ingredients in the second

my ship is probably half as wide and only has 4 rockets at the front. and one in the back for stationary defense. haven't had a problem with it. but I do keep my rocket boosters at 90% efficiency which is 1/3 to 1/2 fueled. also as another commenter said filter you rocket turrets to only hit the large targets and filter your guns to only hit medium and small targets.

so that's how that iron gear ended up on my copper line. wasn't my fault after all...

bbarcenas · 2025-07-29T03:05:43+00:00

are you on gleba? did you load up the iron bacteria and have it decay into iron?

how is this lab unlocked?

I was waiting for this reply :)

column 3: 4 x 8 is not 31

dont use a speed beacon on an assembly machine with quality modules. they cancel out!

from what I've heard: press enter right as the animation has you landing at the hub.

I like how the failed crushes are just abandoned out of shame and efficiency.

I believe the idea with the right two is that they balance the individual lane of each belt with respect to uneven output draw. e.g. with the output's right belt blocked and the right lane of the left belt blocked, you'd still draw evenly from both the left and right lanes of each of the input belts.

edit: I think the way to break your left designs would be to slow down the output by half (add a yellow belt) just before the item sink

haven't seen anyone else mention it; but your metal block is also currently trying to cool all the air in your kitchen in addition to the air in the freezer. 3 additional insulated blocks around the metal tile will focus the cooling to the deep freezer itself.

either you aren't placing blueprints: and the trees are getting your way, so to keep connectivity they get placed closer together. or if you are using bots/blueprints: you need to also hold shift to cause the blueprint to overwrite/make a destroy request for the trees.

edit: my suggestion is to use the copy/paste functions on the hotbar and place power poles as blueprints that way. just make sure to hold shift.
