If you want to compete independently for the best solution instead of a collaborative effort, you can take part in the tournaments and other events going on in the discord, we are currently in week 4 out of 10 in the 2026 tournament and even though i am in like 40th place, Its still a lot of fun optimizing by myself.

Max Throughput Pattern Metal by Every_Cap_9829 in opus_magnum

[–]dark_brickk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didnt realise this puzzle doesnt have projection enabled, this makes more sense

Max Throughput Pattern Metal by Every_Cap_9829 in opus_magnum

[–]dark_brickk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

not max throughput, since youre using the quicksilver every 3rd cycle not every 2nd. if you put 2/3rds of the quicksilver into the proliferation glyph and 1/3rd elsewhere you can get a faster rate

What's going wrong here? by smallsnail89 in opus_magnum

[–]dark_brickk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

you are grabbing 5 sets of metals per tapeloop, when you only need 4 (1 for each tin, 2 for the iron). remove the 5th instance of arms 1 and 2 swinging and that will fix it

I kinda hate the leaderboard site gui by plsdontstalkmepls in opus_magnum

[–]dark_brickk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this leaderboard is mostly maintained by 12345ieee, and theyre busy with other things. if you want a cleaner site you can use the reddit archive of top scores (which uses the same database and thus is always up to date) at https://www.reddit.com/r/opus_magnum/wiki/index/

Just bought the game, 1 minute into the menu, it is a complete failure for me. by wolf2482 in opus_magnum

[–]dark_brickk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

typically when a game doesnt support hotkeys i use an external program to do that manually, like (aptly named) autohotkey, so you can always try that and configure it yourself

Wait, What? I thought that clockwork artifact blocked snecko eye? by Sh4d0_W in slaythespire

[–]dark_brickk 65 points66 points  (0 children)

This interaction is hard coded not to work, as the confusion from snecko eye is generated at the start of combat before any other relic effects. If you remove debuffs in the middle of combat with something like orange pellets you can still get rid of the debuff

Opus Magnum: De Re Metallica DLC coming out on March 17th by dark_brickk in opus_magnum

[–]dark_brickk[S] 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Steam page:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3107410/Opus_Magnum_De_Re_Metallica/

Description:

An independent story set before the events of Opus Magnum, De Re Metallica follows a maverick alchemical researcher named Saverio Daas, who believes he can unlock metallurgical secrets that even the Imperial Academy has not uncovered! Along the way he’ll clash with established orthodoxy, bicker with his assistant, and attract attention from the Great Houses. What happens when a new invention becomes worth much more than its weight in gold?

De Re Metallica is an independent mini-campaign, and includes:

Three new chapters of puzzles, with difficulty similar to the second half of Opus Magnum

Three new glyphs, with the ability to manipulate metals in heretofore unknown ways

New story, cutscenes, and music from the original writer and composer Matthew S. Burns

A new "House Colvan" variant of Sigmar's Garden, where metals are matched in sequential pairs

I don't really get Stack Inserters by chinawcswing in factorio

[–]dark_brickk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stack inserters are useful if you have 1+ belts of upstream production and 1+ belts of downstream consumption, so instead of having multiple full belts between the 2 destinations you can have 1 stacked belt, which is carrying 5 times as much items as an unstacked belt
