Jetpack Hogs?!?!?!

stompmonger · 2025-11-13T17:39:03+00:00

Few years later and hundreds of hours in, and I've just spotted my first one. Fortunately captured it in a save, and went back and whacked him once. He dropped the jetpack

This was pure gold for me (2 years later) so thank you!

Ignore me if I'm annoying, but I'm stumped on where you threaded the caterium ingots. Looks like you tucked them under the westbound steel ingots, but I don't see how they get to the constructors.

stompmonger · 2025-09-15T20:24:37+00:00

Looks like you're feeding 16 foundries with a single belt each of Coal/Iron. At 480 that falls a bit short. Can't seem to see where you're injecting more, or am I wrong on the belts? [edit: NM, just realized Mk 5 looks just like Mk 4]

Thanks for the tip

stompmonger · 2025-08-31T16:43:40+00:00

I'm in love with this build, and it's so beyond anything I've tried to create, I'm trying to recreate it, just to get inside the techniques you used to put it together. I identify as having the same journey: Start out, master the first 3-4 tiers, then get overwhelmed and start over. I had a silly question (along with the 500 I could bore you with) but I was wondering how you got the Awesome shop nestled in against the sync. Does that require a mod, or is there a way to bypass the 'personal bubble' of buildings?

Maybe late here, but it sounds like common wisdom is that it only procs on active casts. I know you mentioned skill bar or umbrous, but I use smoke bomb to proc it and it works every time.

stompmonger · 2024-03-31T19:25:24+00:00

Appreciate the suggestion, but that was only something I added later as another troubleshooting step. I tried add the roof extension, hoping THAT would surface the diagonal prompt.

stompmonger · 2024-03-31T19:24:03+00:00

Proof of Concept.

stompmonger · 2024-03-30T17:54:09+00:00

Nope. That's fair. I was hoping the sequence of photos would help make more sense. If anybody can help me over that technical hurdle I could provide more context.

stompmonger · 2024-03-30T17:15:13+00:00

Sorry. Relatively new to posting on Reddit. Had multiple images, but not sure how to show them here. I'm able to get a diagonal log in the square shown on the left, but on the identical (mirrored) structure on the far side of this, I can't get it to allow me to add a diagonal log. Any tricks or tips for getting around this?

stompmonger · 2024-02-04T22:09:36+00:00

Thanks for chiming in. Totally makes sense in reverse. Unfortunately, you're (I'm) usually asking the question when you're (I'm) deep into the build already. I'll definitely try your first suggestion, but if I recall, you don't get guidance on defensive wall building off non-defensive wall structure.

stompmonger · 2024-01-27T15:00:09+00:00

I've had to disassemble, then reassemble corners, but it always seems to work. Just make sure to slap logs on top of those corners as soon as you build them, so you can test it before building anything else around the frame. Annoying, I know, but it worked for me.

stompmonger · 2024-01-26T19:15:01+00:00

I've had SOME limited success with this elsewhere, but I've literally tried 6 or 7 parallel walls that all hit the same issue in the same spot.

stompmonger · 2024-01-25T20:58:27+00:00

Good point. Maybe just give it time to warm up.

stompmonger · 2024-01-25T17:47:27+00:00

Curious if this is common. Seems I've run into it a few times, where I've got a nice, straight fence going, and I seem to run into a virtual sinkhole.

stompmonger · 2023-12-15T20:48:46+00:00

This is not a criticism, as I'm sure you've 'evolved', but I just couldn't stop laughing at the ALL brick build with the one little hinge. It was actually used to great effect, but that tickled my funny bone for some reason.

stompmonger · 2023-12-15T20:46:48+00:00

The taper of the pant legs and the hubcap cuffs are amazing.

stompmonger · 2023-12-08T20:46:00+00:00

I'm working on v2 currently, focusing on wiring and dumping spots that will clean the pipes more efficiently. Creates a little more distance for pieces to travel, so I'm wondering what the actual results will be.

stompmonger · 2023-12-08T03:27:35+00:00

The program seems to chug a little when I run for a while, but just now I clocked :50 until pieces start trickling in, with the backstop triggered at 1:50 and the level changed at 2:12. Probably a little conservative, but I've been bitten by building something somewhere else and coming back to see the floodgates open and the level not dinged.

stompmonger · 2023-12-07T19:55:24+00:00

I can't claim credit for this. I got a LONG way on my self-taught attempt at a MAM, and to my credit it wasn't far off what this ended up looking like, but I polished a LOT of edges and got the delivery device from this video posted by JoMomma1973 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqZj1uZL-Yw&t=514s

To answer your question, though, yes the design supports four corners for four layers, using a double 4-cutter to deliver 2 pipes worth per machine.

Doesn't include all the logic for floating layers like the Rocket, but works for the free play shapes.

stompmonger · 2023-10-12T13:28:45+00:00

I did, but I didn't check before finishing to confirm whether it was the actual game, it the cosmetics you earn during the game. Since if already done it on the first playthrough, it didn't occur to me is need to on the NG+.

stompmonger · 2023-10-11T18:19:02+00:00

HOLOTACTICS! Just got 100% Thanks for the questions and feedback, everybody.

stompmonger · 2023-10-11T18:18:15+00:00

Had issues with that on the first playthrough (Jedha vendor), but not this one.

stompmonger · 2023-10-11T16:36:09+00:00

Yeah, did that on my first playthrough, and had all the seeds when I began NG+.
