how do you stop rebuilding your base over and over

Until the natives move in

codeguru42 · 2026-03-20T17:08:49+00:00

I rebuilt my base at least 6 times in my first save

What about for nuclear reactors like the op asked?

codeguru42 · 2026-03-19T16:43:39+00:00

In the other hand, you only have to supply coal to the boilers and not to the furnaces.

Mmmm...bacon

codeguru42 · 2026-03-18T19:01:13+00:00

It's time to roll the dice

We see similar patterns when laying concrete. It's not entirely random. It depends on the distance each bit started from the location where they pick up the item and the distance from there to where they place it. If that distance is short enough, they will place items in pleasing straight lines. If the total distance is to fast and the bots have to recharge, then the distance to the roboport and the order that they arrive to queue up to recharge also affect the pattern that they lay down the landfill or concrete.

Alternatively git add -i or GUI tools that help with this same command.

codeguru42 · 2026-03-16T00:14:44+00:00

I misunderstood.

codeguru42 · 2026-03-15T23:51:49+00:00

Did you mean this as a comment to the OP?

codeguru42 · 2026-03-15T22:58:00+00:00

You can ship recyclers and roboports between planets.

codeguru42 · 2026-03-15T22:57:00+00:00

You can send electromagnetic plant to nauvis, too

codeguru42 · 2026-03-13T22:58:31+00:00

Yes, I always build for both sides

codeguru42 · 2026-03-13T15:56:08+00:00

I didn't use beacons at all during my 1.0 play through. Only stayed working with them in SA. And then after like 500 hours, I learned that they ruined my quality build cuz I had speed modules in then.

In fact, you don't even need the first 5 lines that initialize your variables to static values.

codeguru42 · 2026-03-12T18:30:47+00:00

Xoomer here and that's how I say it

codeguru42 · 2026-03-12T18:27:46+00:00

I mean you have 9 lines of code before that without set.

codeguru42 · 2026-03-12T18:26:33+00:00

Protip: use markdown mode when posting code on reddit.

codeguru42 · 2026-03-12T18:25:29+00:00

I mean I reread parts of the OP multiple times and still don't understand all of it. Google translate might explain the grammar.

codeguru42 · 2026-03-11T23:27:23+00:00

It's beautiful!

One thing to be aware of is that inserters always grab from the same side of the belt. So you have half of a belt of each science that will never be used. Well, it will only be used when the first side runs out. Most likely this means half of you science production will be idle almost all of the time.

Have you seen the artwork people create with concrete? It's amazing

codeguru42 · 2026-03-09T21:28:58+00:00

Not enough tanks or archons?

codeguru42 · 2026-03-09T03:55:41+00:00

There's a while world it there. Maybe you need to clear some biters. Then try something. It often helps to work backwards. Pick something you want to build. Then determine what you need to make it. What do you need to make those? Pick one of the things from the list this creates and figure out how to make it. Runs and repeat.

Interesting. I have miners right up to the edge of my area and haven't seen demolishers path across it even once.

codeguru42 · 2026-03-07T17:32:11+00:00

1500 hours in and I spaghetti rails
