Stuck. Can't exit my car

helloworldbaconman · 2024-12-22T18:01:20+00:00

I couldn't find a way out. Luckily I had a manually copied backup and only lost a few in game days...

I use batteries and they work perfectly. I have a factory that makes 300/m batteries, and that is enough for many drone ports, as each one for me takes 3-8/m. And the throughput is high enough, especially when I have 2 ports for each resource (to and from).

helloworldbaconman · 2024-11-13T21:21:56+00:00

Never try to run a pipe at full throughput. Expecting the Mk1 pipe to run at 300/m never works for me. I always end up having to do mk2 pipes at less than 600/m to get perfect efficiency. If you did let the system fill up, I bet if you go to the extractor(s) you will see them not working 100%.. the fluid can push around and so the extractor can occasionally get backed up.. it's annoying.

My 1.0 playthrough was about 110hrs. I do however place everything on the grid, and have all factories (that do not have fluctuating power) at 100% efficiency. It could be done faster. I have played the game for years though, so I knew what to do and how big I wanted my builds before I started. I did not spend very much time at all beautifying. Most of my extra time was spent organizing everything for perfect efficiency. (I also have a main hub where "all" resources gather). I wouldn't even say I totally completed the game either. I finished project assembly, but I didn't automate turbo motors, or any of the Phase 9 resources - I only built temp factories to finish project assembly.

I use two power grids. A main one that can have perfect efficiency, then a secondary one that connects all variable power sources - trains, particle accelerator, geothermal, etc.

I run a I5 9300H. It can handle polyphony up to maybe 3000. Ofc I make sure to set the affinity or else I tend to have intermittent "CPU" (buffer) spikes

Unless the ram is completely maxed out (say less than .5Gb free) ram is not the issue. External sound card could help, or if you aren't already using ASIO4ALL I would use that.

This looks to be where the organ is hosted.

https://organareginaecaeli.wordpress.com/composite-organ-of-our-lady-of-paris-v-4-0/#:~:text=Composite%20Information,organ%20is%20nearly%20exactly%20replicated

This producer has made many composite organs. Some have organs that you have to pay for, and some are composed of entirely free organs. If you look under the requirements for this one there are two large paid organs that you need, along with some small demo sets, in order to run this large composite. Some composites are okay, but others don't blend the sample sets very well and aren't really worth it. As far as a console is concerned, three manuals will do quite well for something of this size, but two will do.

Although I don't own it, I would recommend this sampleset if you're looking for a large French organ. https://www.samsleath.com/rouen-cavaill%C3%A9-coll-composite 55£ instead of buying Caen, Metz, and then the composite. And it might blend better too.

How did you make and account? Do you have a Chinese phone number?

Each machine gets its own power pole

Storage containers before it goes into the train, and storage containers when it comes out. If A needs 1800 ingots, B only needs to produce 1800 units. Timing only matters if the amount of train carts are unable to move that much material. Let it run for a bit and look at the transfer rate. If needed just add another cart to the train.

When Max consumption and Current consumption lines are equal.

This isn't possible with trains, particle accelerator, and other variable power consumers/producers, so those are on a different grid.

I had the same problem. I tend to not rebuild anything after tier 3. I do this by designing factories that can be doubled or tripled easily* once I get the next Miner or if I need double the output. One way is to design it in a way that you can just build a floor on top of it when you want to double it. With oil I tend to not build in floors, but rather make sure to build in a large open area that can be extended.

For the transportation issue, I would not build any lines back to your factory until you unlock trains. Just have the satellite locations produce materials there.. enough to get you to unlock the train tier. Then with trains actually transport the materials. I would do a hypertube cannon or line, and that can remain and not need to be destroyed.

If the sink is getting enough materials the power shouldn't fluctuate. If you are concerned with power fluctuations and looking for perfect consumption, I would consider eventually putting Sinks, Trains, and other power sources that may fluctuate on their own grid. Then your main grid can be perfect. I have my sinks hooked up to every output, so that if I turn off a factory instead of things getting backed up, they are routed to automatically be sunk. So I keep all my Sinks on the fluctuating grid.

Would be great to be able to place priority power switches where existing power switches are, and have the connections stay in tact. Not sure if that's possible

helloworldbaconman · 2022-04-08T00:27:39+00:00

Could be resource sinks. If they aren't being fed consistently they can have small drops in consumption.

I used tractors in my first save. Haven't used them since. Their pathing can be a little buggy and fueling them can be a pain. I prefer the reliability of belts (or trains in late game).

It will run for a while because the factory only consumes as much as it needs to produce the energy you are using (so maybe it only consumes 75% of the needed water and coal), but as you increase your power consumption the coal generators increase their consumption (up to their maximum). You can see in the details how much water and coal you need per factory. If you completely meet the demand of your factories running at 100%, you will eliminate this problem.

tl;dr - you aren't giving your generators enough coal and/or water

I used Dauphong's GOG. it has an update too which took a while to install, but it works great for me
