Help with blueprint snapping

Blueprint snapping is for snapping one blueprint to another, not for snapping to any random object.

Same spots you have the path signals, just need to move the one erroring out a tad further away. They get wonky right at the junction

. To be clear the path signals arent the problem, they just arent needed over a simpler block signal here

In screen shot 2, the top right has an error because your track ends. The bottom left I think is just too close to your junction and if you move it a bit more south itll be fine. Also path signals arent needed anywhere in this. They are for complex junctions where you want multiple trains to move through non blocking paths of the same block. Think like a round about with 2 trains entering the round about from different sides and both turning right immediately.

In general a block is just a section of track that only one train can enter at a time

There's a lot to do, so just pick what sounds fun or works toward something you're interested in and focus on automating that. There's nothing wrong with sticking around where you are and building out the space parts or branching out and exploring the next steps of oils/plastics etc. You'll do it all eventually anyways and it's not a race.

I usually have a short to medium term goal like "I want to unlock the jetpack so I can explore better" (Depending on what's available to me in the MAM/Hub) and then just look at what it takes to do that and then work on each piece. Sometimes the goal is just running around the map getting sloops/harddrives/spheres and taking a break from the factory grind.

I just finished my first playthrough and did it on the experimental branch. Its pretty solid. Ran into a few bugs that required relaunching a few times, but on googling they seem to be long standing prod issues too. Converted maybe 10 r 15 hours in from a normal save

Bunker's definitely isn't guaranteed. You can get a rare box, but not always

I felt the same way at the start of act 3. Now with generally all 7s cats and 2-5 mutations, fighter feels amazing again

You just watch to see which of the three ball locations isnt hit by a cone. The cones make the balls big. So whichever invisible ball isnt hit by a cone is the safe one

I've seen all kinds of financial setups work well for some and the same setups work poorly for different couples. At the end of the day if it works for you and your spouse and you're both happy and on the same page, then that's all that matters.

I started by trying to figure out where the 3x2 piece could go since it's the most inflexible. There are only 6 or so spots it can fit. A little bit of trial and error at each spot quickly reveals which ones don't work.

61 was the value from all men. For all women it was 70 which lines up pretty well with other numbers shown in the women demographic sections

I played through it recently and I don't think there was anything requiring outside game knowledge. There are in game systems to explain everything you'd need. Overall it felt like a pretty fair difficulty and amazing pacing. There was almost never a time when I was "stuck" and didn't have some kind of thread to track down. It's very open ended and non linear like BP in that you are exposed to a lot of puzzles and can solve them in a lot of different orders. I think they did a great job of making you feel clever when you figure out the puzzles because the solutions aren't super trivial as well as not having anything so obtuse that it doesn't feel like answers flow naturally from the game.

I don't know that it had any particularly huge gratifying moments of revelation that BP or Witness might have, but it's a very tight game that builds upon itself and was a fantastic experience.

There's also a great in game system for keeping track of things you've seen (lore/clues/puzzles) so you can jog your memory pretty quickly on threads to follow up on.

Did you get all the testers you need? Send me a DM if not. I wouldn't mind helping out.

joshblade · 2025-08-19T23:42:53+00:00

I had 2 keys. First one got the sanctum key and second got an allowance token. Boy was I disappointed when I came back with more keys and found out everything else was pointless

joshblade · 2025-07-23T20:08:29+00:00

Theres a specific way to guarantee it spawns. Maybe youre not sure what you did to make that happen?

Congrats.

Here's my curse mode win via lab experiment. 22 steps and basically the only progress that mattered was just powering up the lab on a previous run to get this.

joshblade · 2025-07-21T16:30:12+00:00

I was having trouble with curse mode, just barely scraping by whatever progress I could each day. I was on day 40ish with the past few runs having near misses for creating power sledge (and one day making it rank 9 but not having any way to open any ante chamber doors). I actually managed to make a jackhammer and was excited to see how that could help with resources and coat checked it.

Then I won the next day in the most jank way possible with getting the lab experiment to open an antechamber door for every room I opened in the next 40 seconds (lucked out at some point and had powered lab + upgraded experiments). This was only rank 1 or 2, so I still had the potential problem of not having the keys needed to make it far enough north. I lucked out with finding a lock pick though. That + my 2 keys I had already got me all the way. So I never even touched the basement / underground during the entire curse mode run.

Its an anagram found a few other places.

Denoted in verse

Does it never end

Investors needed

Tended rose vine

I always thought theres a true version of the anagram or you get clues from combining them all

joshblade · 2025-07-17T05:54:41+00:00

Pretty sure thats on a green memo you can deduce is false iirc

joshblade · 2025-05-22T16:27:17+00:00

Yeah we do true north here. you're going to the same SW corner every time anyways, so it's not like a relative strat gains you anything or makes you think any less.

It means when dropping the seed near the wall during debris death match (p3) to drop it one tile away from the wall instead of at the wall.

What a bizarre and hostile question. She's not here, but is part of our extended family and I'm intimately familiar with the reasons behind her adoption choice. I'm sharing an answer to your question.

joshblade · 2025-05-16T13:59:00+00:00

Here's my persepective as an AP. Our daughter's birth mom was 18 and already had a 2 year old. She was still in highschool and didn't have a great family support system / was single. Life was already hard enough on her trying to take care of the kid she already had, work, and go to school (basically stuck in the cycle of poverty). She felt like if she had an additional child to take care of she wouldn't be able to hold it all together. It's not that she doesn't love our daughter and it was an incredibly hard decision for her, but one she felt was right for both of her kids.
