That said, ASSEMBLY (and, therefore, MACHINE LANGUAGE ) contains an "else" statement within the "if" statement. And, for those unaware, Assembly is the most basic "human readable" programming language in existence (only slightly more "advanced" than "machine language" -- but is literally a 1:1 ...

This one would be especially useful for recipes that convert solid ingredients into liquids. You get the same Holmium solution, but can't mix ores for it.

Let me remind you that we are talking about people who can't make sustainable seed production.

You only get the tech for a biochamber after you got the tree harvester and recipe for copper and iron (although you get that from space). It's nice to build a red ammo factory before going egg hunting for the biochamber.

There is no reason to expect people wait for the biochamber before ...

The sad part about Belt Immunity is that you can't disable it. Exoskeleton doesn't use energy when not moving and can be disabled at any time, but somehow Belt Immunity is always active.

Battery is 20 MJ which is 200 seconds of 100 kW draw. Certainly longer than Nauvis night.

I'm fine with the 50% production bonus of Biochambers being a footnote. That's a nice thing to discover. But a prominent tip to use production modules in an assembler is an essential tip. The player probably doesn't have a Biochamber when he build his first tree farm so pointing to the Biochamber ...

it would be just work... Just building... Just “produce X item and get it from point A to point B”.


Just go do it. Curious to see what you come up with. I'll check back here in a couple of weeks.


I’m not going to waste all that time and effort just to prove my point to some guy online ...

With this setup you should never run out of pentapod eggs - granted you have always some bioflux. It's not what I want to do. I want to slow down production as much as possible. Using egg with little time remaining (filter on inserter) exactly achieves the goal.

Similarly 2 minutes Bioflux becomes ...

Right now I'm trying to setup a suspended factory on Gleba that just keeps minimum flow for automatic restart (replicating egg every 10 minutes or so, getting some fresh fruits and bioflux as necessary).

For eggs it's either circuit network timer or 10 minutes belt trip for an egg with some ...

I want to suggest it in the form of:
Allow deconstruction orders within blueprints.

+1 I like the filtering idea.


Sounds like at that point you're screwed anyway ? *shrugs* (And you already have something to deal with spoilage... in fact just enough sides for a spoilage filter outserter on the 4th side ?)


I think about making 2 boxes and an inserter with freshness filter ...

We get Foundations on Aquilo to solve some special challenges on Vulcanus and Fulgora. Sounds right to get something to solve Gleba special challenge as well.

+1 Fine control would be nice. Global settings and possibly separate settings for each blueprint.

So why did I choose the quantity of the parts rather than any sort of complexity weighting? To me it just seemed like the simplest thing to implement and the simplest thing for users to understand at a glance. It also seemed the most in-line with the current implementation as far as how many ...
