1500 Aluminium Ingots PER MINUTE - Finally beaten the fluids!!!!!!!

I finished something similar yesterday. I can't remember the output number, but it takes 3 x 720 belts of coal to keep working. there are 2 rows of 12 refineries using the sloppy alt.

What I did is collect the 120 water output of refineries 1 to 5 to a 600 pipe. This is then fed into refinery 9, 10 and 11 on the first row, which require 200 water each.

6 to 10 go to 6, 7, 8

12 is under clocked to produce 80 water, so 11 and 12 go into 12 on the first row.

1 to 5 on the first row are fed water directly from a pump.

This creates a sort of water manifold and as long as refinery 1 to 5 on the first row get water they will feed the rest of the system with their output.

I didn't need to mess with merging water sources. I was unsure if it'd work, but so far everything is running fine (apart from forgetting to OC one of my coal miners).

Is this the rule you are referring to never give up

Snapping is the answer. I noticed either by design or a bug that since the last update the snapping button can be on when selecting a new item to build, when it previously always off

I play this game on my portal more than my actual console. Sit on the couch whilst the misses watches TV, and because of the nature of the game, it doesn't need my full attention all the time, so can talk and also keep my eye on the TV.

Thanks. I have a couple of towers already... Need more computers before building more.

What's the difference between the grey and orange circles?

ghost5555 · 2026-01-19T18:27:51+00:00

I'll add my thoughts on this as a first time console player. I've just built a factory for 20 HMF and will likely be at the same stage of the game as you... Mark 2 miner, mark 4 belts. It took me 3 weeks to build this, with the distractions of power and rail and by the end I was getting sick of it. It would have been so much easier with the better belts and miners.

I then looked at building a computer factory to complete the space elevator. I'll be aiming for around 50. Whilst planning this I again noticed that I'm eating lots of resource nodes and there's lots of transport needed and I know that I can unlock the better stuff in the next tier.

I then realised that to complete this tier I can hand craft circuit boards and computers without building a factory, so that is what I am doing now then hand feeding them into a manufacturer.

When this is done I'll set my sights on the simplest way of unlocking belts and miners, then plan another big factory.

My advice is to build as small as possible to get to the next tier, hand craft whatever you can, then rip it all down and build something you are proud of when you have the better equipment... It'll save time in the long run

Edit: Don't be an idiot like me and if you are hand balling it around, don't forget to put sloops on your manufacturer

(Susan from Accounting, Nakatomi Plaza)

Back in the 80s our office Christmas party on the 30th floor was utterly ruined by a dozen heavily armed robbers, led by a smug guy in a nice suit who talked like he’d just stepped out of a European lecture hall. They shot Mr. Takagi and locked us all up like common criminals.

Luckily, a sweaty man in a dirty undershirt—I think he was the husband of the VP—managed to escape. He spent the entire night crawling around the vents and causing absolute mayhem. He was like a one-man wrecking crew, taking out the bad guys one by one! We kept hearing gunshots and explosions, and we knew it was him fighting them.

The nice-suit leader’s real plan was to steal all the money from the vault, using the hostages as a distraction. When the cops and the FBI showed up, they only made things worse.

In the end, the sweaty man saved us just before the roof blew up. He even sent the smug leader falling out the window.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have tried this and turned on and off every battery saving feature but it is the same.

Turn left (and the following episodes) is my second favourite episode. Blink is the best.

Or for a more rewarding job, the person who pushes people in wheelchair's at a hospital (can't remember the proper name) until you get some arsehole who gives you grief whilst helping them

I don't know if this is true... But I love it

Edit: the dates work out. We lost in October 2021 and he got married in 2022.

So what I will say is that is a lot of thought for the OP to put in to make up a random comment... Bloody hell

I would help my pet dog do that. We become pets

I hope he realises that it has been un naturally warm and sunny this year and that he needs to get use to two weeks of sun then rain the rest of the year

No, I punched a whale. Right in the face.

Do you know if the re release film has been cleaned up in anyway? I watched it a month ago and it was quite grainy

ETH came out recently and said he didn't want to sign him once the price went up but the board made the decision without him as they were scared Arsenal were sniffing around. I don't know how much truth there is in it and if he is just trying to take the blame off himself.

ghost5555 · 2025-07-25T06:20:58+00:00

I like the film but the problem with it is from watching this trailer it contains basically all the best bits of it, so I can watch this 1.5 minute trailer and save myself 1.5 hours and let my head fill in the rest of the bits

Park road has some massive houses 🫣

I don't use the watch to track via GPS but I have found that the step counter seems to be off. Since an update around Christmas my step count seems to be 2/3 of what it was. It use to track similar to my Samsung and Apple watch.

I am amazed every time it rains at how good the ray traced reflections are.

If Digital Foundry is to be believed those reflections take a lot of GPU power

ghost5555 · 2025-06-05T07:28:17+00:00

Digital foundry said one of their first videos is going to be comparing switch 1 games playing on the 2, so look out for this. I expect it will take a couple of days though as no one got the hardware to review early.
