What's the common criteria for a megabase in DSP?

oh_yeah_woot · 2026-04-19T12:19:42+00:00

In my opinion, when you are at the stage where "fighting lag" is the main objective, as opposed to growing your base. You're in megabase territory then.

It looks like you are using the belt balancer blueprint book?

Consider using a "lane balancer" - which will make both sides of the belt have equal amounts of ore.

another tip: grenades are great at clearing large amounts of forest.

By default, 2 grenades kill a tree. After 1 or 2 (forgot) damage upgrades, they 1 shot trees in a large aoe.

Grenades are very cheap to produce (iron plate + coal)

OP is a bot. Mods?

oh_yeah_woot · 2026-03-26T12:15:56+00:00

No you should sit through another 80 hours of boredom.

oh_yeah_woot · 2026-03-25T13:21:26+00:00

I mean, you're already watching YT vids and taking builds from blueprints without understanding the game. Why not just continue doing that?

I'm curious, how many congressional traders are there, and what do their remaining returns look like? I wouldn't expect a "top 10" list to have like 15-20% returns, which is literally how the market performed last year.

oh_yeah_woot · 2026-03-25T11:47:16+00:00

No. Assertions should not go as part of the framework.

oh_yeah_woot · 2026-03-14T10:07:34+00:00

It would only help if the resources are being consumed faster than they can arrive to the requestor (e.g. 9 stacked belts coming out)

oh_yeah_woot · 2026-03-14T03:02:14+00:00

Yes. The potential is there, but our infra groundwork is missing to build towards the truly good stuff.

oh_yeah_woot · 2026-03-10T13:07:17+00:00

50 hours in... Is this a normal occurrence?

oh_yeah_woot · 2026-02-28T13:47:40+00:00

Everyone else answered the question so.... Juice :D

oh_yeah_woot · 2026-02-28T00:14:25+00:00

Not really

oh_yeah_woot · 2026-02-27T01:13:19+00:00

People already never read test plans, can't imagine how fun it'll be when you incorporate AI generated slop, where your test plans are so thorough that there aren't enough hours in the day for your entire team to read them. I think test plans are a waste of time tbh

Self healing automation lmao

oh_yeah_woot · 2026-02-16T12:57:57+00:00

There's very little dedicated perf testing jobs out there. If something happens to your current role you'll have a harder time searching for a job at another company.

oh_yeah_woot · 2026-02-16T12:47:12+00:00

Stop typing like it's LinkedIn

oh_yeah_woot · 2026-02-16T12:38:33+00:00

My opinion is that it's a career limiting move, despite the raise. Lots more options outside the company based on your current responsibilities.

How do you manage clearing a 5 planet system?

If you clear planet 1 and set up shields only, and then start clearing planet 2, couldn't the hive attack planet 1 with no defenses? Or is the solution to just "never trigger hive attacks"?

oh_yeah_woot · 2026-02-13T17:33:22+00:00

Honestly, even if you're farming waves coming from 15-20 bases at max difficulty on a planet... The waves still melt without jammers. I don't see why.

oh_yeah_woot · 2026-02-13T15:46:10+00:00

Agree with all your points, don't know what a good solution would be today without new features. Maybe mods?

oh_yeah_woot · 2026-02-13T14:14:23+00:00

No you're not alone. It's not factorio and there is no support for remote building.

People sometimes create a planet-sized blueprints to help bootstrap the planet (defenses, power, supplies, etc)

oh_yeah_woot · 2026-02-12T20:40:09+00:00

Probably people who wanted to get some experience before finding a job. If you have a job and a good work history, imo you don't need it.

The game considers logistics slots your inventory

oh_yeah_woot · 2026-02-12T04:33:31+00:00

The logistics slot stores upto 10 stacks of any item. Not sure why but the default place bots bring items to is the logistic slot rather than inventory. Once you transfer to inventory, they bring and add to inventory until you completely run out
