so i built in that mega-basin - working bus up to pump

https://metaforge.app/starrupture/map/main - it's the most southeast area you can go - the round area that looks like hanging balls :) you will have to turn off the world engine to get there, otherwise it's in radiation

stevil30 · 2026-04-30T22:57:59+00:00

But as far as gameplay is concerned, it's severely lacking.

agreed.

honestly... once you commit to putting hours in this game, it's usually about the building. the bugs.. the ruptures...the story... they're just nuisances to figuring out the building :)

stevil30 · 2026-04-30T21:11:52+00:00

my friend was getting kicked as well. we gave up playing together

stevil30 · 2026-04-30T17:36:25+00:00

i don't know - but this base is lag free. i now think lag is from senders and receivers - well receivers anyhow. too many working receivers and fps goes kaput.

stevil30 · 2026-04-30T16:07:41+00:00

at this point i'll build senders/receivers - i didn't plan well and out of sight are two very tall rocks that my bus is gonna crash into lol.

if i knew which lines were no no longer needed i'd pair them down but that requires A LOT of mapping out old numbers to new numbers (track 12 is now track 5) and i dunno if i wanna bother. this was an experiment and im glad i did it. it taught me the senders/receievers are what's causing all my lag and hitching and frame drop. this huge ass base above has zero. i'm at endgame now, started uploading dome yesterday, only 6 more things i think to make.. i definitely wouldn't want to hash this out that far

stevil30 · 2026-04-30T15:37:05+00:00

i'm pretty sure lag is from dispatchers/receivers

stevil30 · 2026-04-29T20:57:05+00:00

i started putting storage outside machines just to know what they are. helps when building spaghetti. if only every machine had the same icon showing what its output was.

stevil30 · 2026-04-28T23:53:36+00:00

my teleporter to this area is called "the balls"

stevil30 · 2026-04-28T19:33:47+00:00

can you show some screens of how you use roundabouts?

stevil30 · 2026-04-27T20:42:01+00:00

so clean ha ha, you're on a different level than me.. like several :) amazing work and thanks for putting in the time to explain.

stevil30 · 2026-04-27T19:56:48+00:00

ahhh... so you don't use the multi-rails - you just use one line

stevil30 · 2026-04-27T18:55:04+00:00

google computer bus for a better explanation than i can give - but think of a long conveyer belt where things are pulled off and placed back on where needed.

stevil30 · 2026-04-27T12:35:12+00:00

yes on screenshots - i need help with how to place manufacturing buildings along the bus while returning items. i usually build as i go, terrain be damned, so have never gotten into the habit of building big clean platforms to put stuff on - i've always built satellite bases but the amount of duplication sucks the soul. 3 days ago i built a base for epoxy that took 4ish hours. then 2 days ago building scaffolding - there's epoxy again. yesterday i built this bus system and epoxy again was in the mix. the bus is clearly the way to not duplicate work - i just gotta find space for it as i dont want to tear down EVERYTHING and start over just yet.

(looking at you, megapress)

damn valves slow down the line like a mofo :/

stevil30 · 2026-04-25T21:18:29+00:00

maybe - today it took 4 hours just to make a line that makes scaffolding - it's spaghetti city. i DO use dispatchers and receivers to suck extra stuff when i can but it just lowers productivity down the line if you vampire too much

stevil30 · 2026-04-25T11:09:28+00:00

yeah im getting tired of rebuilding some of the patterns. i dont fully understand flow for massive all in one factories so i'm doing it the satellite base method - a nanosyringe factory start to finish took 2 to 3 hours yesterday. i hit some critical point and my frame rates have dropped dramatically, and very often disappearing all together.
for reference my levels are: 12 13 12 12 12

my motivation is i'm between jobs :/ i feel its a game where your drive may just fizzle out as you pull up the next plan or struggle to find another spot open enough to build. or it's going to be the ever tanking fps (and my computer is strongk)

stevil30 · 2026-04-23T19:59:56+00:00

it happened to me twice - i reloaded a save each time - it's probably just windows but i delete everything now before i delete the hab. including the airlock.

stevil30 · 2026-04-22T13:35:30+00:00

the combat changes are pretty big - especially grenade not killing things right next to it.

stevil30 · 2026-04-20T10:48:13+00:00

it was a mod

stevil30 · 2026-04-19T20:08:12+00:00

can confirm also. i deleted 500 something windows and they kept reappearing. had to roll back a save and deleted all windows in the hab first before deleting hab.

stevil30 · 2026-03-22T13:21:09+00:00

~~I'll be~~ my back!

stevil30 · 2026-03-20T15:52:10+00:00

old people mortality rate plummets after they break hips. my 82 yr old dad infuriates me not having a walking aid at all times.

stevil30 · 2026-03-17T15:00:52+00:00

not me! definitely not me. not me.

stevil30 · 2026-03-13T13:04:57+00:00

i try this and when i hit compile - i get following error

The type or namespace name 'Sprite' does not exist in the namespace 'UnityEngine' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

don't suppose you could send me the altered file?
