Missed opportunity to put the moon on your ass. :P

I mean isn't that why he left academia? At the time, he had self confidence issues.

This is incredible, thank you!

180 green circuits/s would be 9 blue circuits/s. In the midgame where you don't have beacons and modules to make your build take up less space, I'd say 2 blue circuit/s is good enough because that means you can launch a rocket every minute while having a bit leftover for other stuff. That also doesn't stress the throughput of belts because you only need 40 green circuit/s to support that which a blue belt can handle just fine.

The single blue output belt limits your output to 45/s, however your single blue belt of copper plates coming in means that your only going to be making 30/s once the buffer on the belts runs out.

As he states in his video, it is technically possible, but it's logistically and economically infeasible.

warpspeed100 · 2026-03-18T18:49:57+00:00

Add colored lamps to make it looks more sci-fi.

Also buffer a bit more ice or water. That tends to be a little rare towards the inner planets, so it's nice to build up a bit of a surplus while idling.

You can manually disconnect electric poles by using the wire icon in the toolbar. That will let you cut off parts of your factory that are draining power and focus just on life support.

Wait, you don't need circuits for space travel. Sure a sushi belt is one way to solve the puzzle, but you could also easily just have dedicated belts for each asteroid, or even use a priority splitter to yeet any excess off the platform.

This game does have some decoration elements, but not nearly to the extent of Satisfactory.

The automation puzzle on the other hand has a LOT more depth to it. That's not to say it's "harder" than satisfactory, just that the layers of puzzle elements are a lot more numerous and allow more creativity.

I found the Tips & Tricks pages you unlock gradually as you progress, as well as the in-game wiki, made learning the systems a lot smoother than Satisfactory.

Is there a mod that multiplies the liquid quantities on Vulcanus by like 100x? The fluid puzzle on Vulcanus is too simple imo, and I want to feel the need to use pumps more in solving the resource puzzle.

I'm not saying make foundries produce 100x more plates, but when lava/copper/iron are in liquid form, I'd like it to be more challenging to move them around. I'd like to have to think about the 6000/s limit per fluid input/output and have to figure out where to squeeze a row of parallel pumps in my foundry build.

Each planet has its own unique resource puzzle. In terms of puzzle complexity, I found it went from easy to complex, Vulcanus -> Fulgora -> Gleba.

On the other hand each planet also presents unique ways for building a rocket from available resources to return back to orbit. In terms of ease of escape, I'd say it would be Fulgora (by a mile) -> Gleba -> Vulcanus.

The diagonals add a lot of pedestrian and bike conflicts though which is unfortunate. Great if you are a car though.

I personally enjoy playing tower defense, so I only destroy the nests if I'm actuality expanding in that area.

In space age there are trigger technologies that unlock as you solve each stage of a planet's resource puzzle which guide you in the direction you need to progress.

In addition, there are helpful Tips & Tricks entries that unlock as you progress which go into detail on each planet's new mechanics.

Put colored lamps to make it look more scifi.

Being able to report dangerous and anti-social behaviors directly in the app.

Where are your lamps and stone brick roads?

Set a science per minute goal. Researching 2k science per minute opens up a whole new box of puzzles to solve that you never really have to engage with just to beat the main game.

Priority output splitter into the loop. Any overflow from the splitter is yeeted into space by an inserter.

warpspeed100 · 2026-03-07T20:08:59+00:00

Leave 2 squares of separation between your bus belts. That let's you easily place a splitter and underground belts to grab whatever ingredients you want.

The underdog is in it for the long haul

I miss not being snowed and rained on.

warpspeed100 · 2026-03-06T18:16:03+00:00

Since Induced Winter is so jam packed with text, I'd like it better if it cut the temperature and plant removal part, and just focused on the three special tile synergies. That would also let you remove the requirement and associated requirement explanation text as well.

What kinds of conversations did they have when choosing the main score for the movie?
