I should grab a pic of my gas giant eaters at some point since I can see them from my starter planet.

Redo supply lines? Just add to them! I've found no downside so far to leaving my old factory blocks chunking away slowly at stuff while I build more efficient ones elsewhere.

Unlike factorio, where everything needed nice clean lines to make me feel good, and to a lesser extent Satisfactory as well, I'm embracing my mess. Edit: This is a really pretty game

Patrat posted:What do you do with all of the hydrogen? I find that cracking crude oil to make the refined oil for various chemical stuff I want in large quantities leaves me with just absolutely ludicrous quantities of hydrogen, far, far more than I need for anything. You'll need a bunch in the future but once you get the ability to suck Gas Giants dry you'll have an unlimited source of it. I've taken to running all my excess hydrogen through a huge S loop of Fractionators and using whatever is left in Particle Colliders to get as much Deuterium as possible.

I have a very obvious need for interplanetary (titanium and silicon on one planet with no oil Honestly, it's easier to use the stations and plop one down where I need basic stuff like iron plates or titanium.

You can also use tab to select filters when building grabbers from buildings that have more than one output, like refineries.

Flinging myself into another star system without warp fuel actually worked out great in the long run. However I've noticed that I can't move said warp fuel back and forth by itself. So it may be better to ship lenses or green cubes and turn them into warp fuel on the opposite side. I got lucky in my third system and found the crystal I can turn in nanotubes!

seaborgium posted:Is there a decent way to set up your oil refineries so they're neater? I got into red science finally and apparently you need a bunch of refineries to get a decent amount of hydrogen and with the way they have outputs and inputs I can't figure out how to get crude in and the products out without a massive amount of twisting that just doesn't work or takes up 5 times the amount of space it should. Just go end to end and use one side of input and the other for output. Your grabbers can stretch three spaces.

Ok so solar sails are more important than I thought. When you are build the inner shell of your Dyson Sphere, the sails will get pulled in to form the energetic shell.

explosivo posted:This is exactly how I have mine set up except I only have one row of oil going up the middle. It's infintely expandable as long as you have the space to move in that direction, just have to knock out the conveyors at the end and wrap them around once you add more to it. I discovered using the three down the middle work best with long lines as it ensures there's rarely no resources at the end of the line and keeps production fairly steady.

Fhqwhgads posted:I'm seeing more and more screenshots of people lining up mini malls that start and/or end with an intraplanetary hub and I'm reconsidering my entire design choice of spaghetti everywhere. It just looks so much nicer to have the logistics depots requesting the 3 things that chain of assemblers needs and going from there. This is what I've started doing and the only issue is that it's extremely power hungry.

Coolnezzz posted:Built 10 orbit collectors around my gas giant, the logistics vessels are picking up the hydrogen but not the deuterium, which is really why I set them up. I have a dedicated interstellar logistics station set to just deuterium local supply/remote demand and a dedicated hydrogen interstellar logistics station set to the same, which is working. The orbit collectors are all set to local storage/remote supply and hydrogen gets picked up just fine. Any idea what gives? I also have a planetary logistics station demanding deuterium but the logistics vessels just won't pick it up. Whatever the bottom resource is, in this case Deuterium, not only collects slowly but is also slowly burned to keep the gas collectors flying.
