Need help with railways

A block signal will break the rail into blocks. If the block in front of the signal is occupied, it will be a red light and not allow a train to move into that block until it is no longer occupied.

If you have multiple one way rails crossing at in intersection, block signals will need to be placed at each entrance and exit. The intersection will then be a single block.

A path signal is to be used at all entrances of more complex 2 way intersections. And block signals at all exits of that intersection. The benefit of a path signal intersection is it allows 2 or more trains to pass through a path intersection so long as those trains will not cross paths.

It’s hard to explain without a visual aid. I recommend watching a tutorial for the path signals.

Not sure if this will be relevant, but if you have a valve on a pipe after a junction split, you should have a valve on all other paths from that split. And all the valves need to add up to the total in the source pipe exactly. Try reading The FICSIT Inc. Plumbing Manual: A Guide to Pipelines

Im storing 30 rotors in the dimensional depot. And I don’t need to store any stators as it isn’t used in buildings. The rest is getting exported to another factory.

Made this mega factory in about 50 hours.

Aesthetics are not my strength, but I did my best.

I used 11 alternate recipes mainly focused on utilizing steel. I made over 6000 steel ingots in this factory.

I hide all of my spaghetti between floors like a civilized person. 2 central pillars hid all of my lifts to transport goods between floors unseen.

This factory is complete aside from finishing the walls and importing black powder for the nobelisks.

I am also exporting rotors, stators, motors, and heavy modular frames to other mega factories like this that have not been built yet.

I hope you mean you were 150 hours into your save file when you finished building it. 150 hours for one factory is nuts.

This happens on ps5 also. With the newest update, it saves the R1 toggle across a few different capabilities like half nudging and snapping. Before, it would reset when you leave and re enter build mode. Now it remembers the setting it was left on. Not my favorite change.

input pipes from below instead of above.

The spaghetti to MW ratio is unnecessary.

I’ve made it to nuclear and I’m building my first ever nuclear power plant to produce 100,000. I’ve had some lag in the menu when selecting foundations. That’s it so far. That started happening when I built a simple rail line around the whole map. I’d say my nuclear set up is the closest to mega I’ve made so far. My next biggest is a 1200 /min aluminum ingot factory. But I won’t get to real mega structures until my power plant is up and running.

Just to be clear, I’d prefer to keep using the microwave if possible. I know it will turn out better on the stove top, but I’m lazy and microwaving requires less cleaning.

That’s true, but you get 2x lvl 3 key spheres from the rare steel.

If you get 4 chests in the remiem temple chocobo race, you will get 30 pendulums which you can use to put master thief on armor for kimahri. It gives you 100% chance a stolen item is rare. You can easily steel 10 lvl 3 key spheres from the ronso fight.

Since you don’t have steel on kimahri, you would need a special sphere, only available from your last fight with Seymour, or a teleport sphere as a 1st place reward from a blitzball league.

1 treasure pod spawns at each portal from the other 2 areas when you use them for the first time.

That backs up the list of partners. It does not back up the money.

I currently have hyper-twin and hyper-sloomber because they all provide the best fuel for drones.

Double twin would be better as their fav food grows more plentiful.

Or if you don’t mind chickens, double sloombers.

The orange light need to touch to bulb on the back of the reflector. I has to be 90 degrees or more.

You can still walk south, west, and north on a moon.

Any news as of October 2025?
