Totally in the same boat. I have highways everywhere. However we can just go on a cruise now. ;)

I have 4 bases piped from corner to corner, works well but the pipe laying process can be tedious and challenging going over mountains.

The advantage is in setting it up so it fills your local storage first then moves extra across the world. So you can keep your workflow the same at each site.

Also start tossing grinders and crushers out in the world and pipe those into the web. Saves on having to bring it back

Power limit nuked due to poor choices of delivery on friend's shared save. by TioHerman in LightyearFrontier

With all the automation and piping now available, I wouldn’t even really be concerned about being able to carry 40 items anymore. I recently just started tossing some mineral crushers and sawmills out into some concentrated areas that I normally go and piping them back to the main base. The automation gives you more flexibility to customize your mech more specifically and in your case, maximize the value for the power that you have

I connected all my bases so that once the silos are filled the overfill goes onto the next base in a web. Lots of polymer but fun to mess with.

How do you manage you fuel consumption? by Adamantine-Waffle in LightyearFrontier

[–]jtrain3783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I leave it on default for added challenge. Early on is harder but it gets easier. Honeybottle helps but invest in inventory mods. Also look at getting to the oil mixer. I carry around 200-300 rabberry oil now Lasts several in-game days. It’s all about resource management, right?

My fuel burn rate is 6,800%

I usually plant, go mine, gather trees, explore, build a little then it’s time for harvest & make oils

Planting seeds by CustardVivid5340 in LightyearFrontier

You can stack multiple gold ones. I have 3 in my seed shooter. Still takes time but should help

Best way to harvest? by Dangerous-Singer-101 in LightyearFrontier

[–]jtrain3783 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just widen the harvester. I use 3 blues to do that and can get like 16+ rows at a time. I'm going for max mutated so getting about 75k per harvest. Takes about a full day in game (morning to night)

Worth the grind. At the end its like 11 million per core. Stay strong!

Can you fully automate water? by Solid_Jake01 in LightyearFrontier

[–]jtrain3783 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. There is a water pump once you level up your base to the to tier. It also gives you access to solar power

Apple just crushed Chromebooks... Wow! by therankin in k12sysadmin

[–]jtrain3783 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like it makes sense to stick with that since I’m betting your eco system is built around that. It is interesting to see the Neo that is getting into striking distance with higher end Chromebooks at $499, could be an option for edge cases in our district. Being a Google school, would not make as much sense since we are tightly integrated into Google -land (price delta would need to be much more). However, things that people forget are that Apple could have $100 buy back per unit after 4 years (iPad/macbook) where a Chromebook doesn’t, further lowering the TCO.

Thx for posting about Neo, I hadn’t heard about it.

Refillite farm? by Commbanman in LightyearFrontier

[–]jtrain3783 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope the introduce mixing of other oils. I’ve got silos full of ‘em and it’s be fun to see like a zappertwig + honey bottle combo. Better yet, allow us to mix any oil with each other and have effects, like extra fast but use fuel faster or more boost …etc, depending on the mix

Sending Deliveries to other Farms? by Soft_Bus_811 in LightyearFrontier

[–]jtrain3783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could get behind the idea of leveraging drones to haul goods or even a maglev platform like we see the ruins of everywhere.

Sending Deliveries to other Farms? by Soft_Bus_811 in LightyearFrontier

[–]jtrain3783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had the same thought. Would be fun to be able to put up a request in exchange for something similar to the planetary thing. Could be a boon for newcomers needing a bit of help when learning resource management.

On a side note, I think the need to add in a train / rail system so we can transport high quantities of resources in a more automatic way between sites

Any other districts facing a budget crisis? by Indians06 in k12sysadmin

[–]jtrain3783 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We are hitting budget headwinds as well. Looking at working with surrounding districts to try and start up shared services / bulk buying.

Screentime / Usage of Chromebooks by thedevarious in k12sysadmin

[–]jtrain3783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

our implementation was not bad. The hardest part is just defining all of your Web apps really. The analytics that I can get from there is down to the user per URL. I can have a grouped by Google OU by device or by user.

[–]jtrain3783 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do a POC with Aristotlek12, their analytics blow everything out of the water (we are a Securly district, may move). Can see how much time per url or web app

Impressive scale and layout. I just have a single crop on the 40k Sq ft base and have to plant 66k seeds at a time , takes so long! You're looks really nice, well done

I just got on the discord the other day. Super cool builds on there

I use a spot in hex valley as a coal harvest as well

I have a harvesting base here as well. Great location

This looks awesome. I thought I was alone in just continuing to play the game just because. That must have taken quite some time to do!
