You could also add filters to which items get split in that amount if you don't want carbon going one way, filter that splitter out put everything else
Quick tip for upgrading machines.... you can just look at the machine/belt you want to upgrade and press u as long as you have materials in your inventory or warehouse storage it should auto upgrade without having to lift and replace
You don't need those two splitters @ 15:45 ish, you can put in a percentage in the boxes of splitters, so you could say, 50%, 25% and 25% to accomplish the same with a single splitter :)
Hey Z! Love the new series on this game! I wanted to say something about the double splitters, but others have explained it better than I could, so another remark from me. You are talking about connecting the 2 asteroid-cathing-wings with stairs , but what about using solar panels for that? It is both looking good and also a great source of power!
The advantage, I believe of what Z did might be performance. By splitting 3-ways yet looping back into itself, EVEN with the upgraded Pro Belt, would be performance. The one slot keeps the outbound belt loaded but reduces lag of waiting for a belt to clear. The Pro Belt might be fast enough to not need it, but the regular belts would probably slow busy segments of belt... It would be the third direction that would suffer, as it has to wait for the second item to be pushed after the second.
Not sure if you know, you can reverse the inputs and outputs on some machines, including the warehouse. I stacked 3 warehouses directly on top of each other in the center of my ship, reversed the inputs on the middle one. Then the tubes can go up and down from/ to each one and look very clean.
he did that in one of the previous episode. but your tubed connected warehouse sounds neat. did you filter resources type by height or just threw everything in to the warehouses?
If you press U on a belt or building you already have an updgrade for, if you have the required materials in warehouse or inventory, it will upgrade it in situ, and you dont need to delete anything :)
You probably need to check your pipe to belt machines, they will buffer materials and give you the impression your machines are keeping up when actually it's just that they are storing materials.
Just a heads up Guys/Gals you can dock to a big Island and then proceed to move it around with your station so you can dock multiple Big Islands together and make a super Island
You didn't scan the planet to see if there was aluminum to mine, if there isn't any those miners will just be sitting on their pads doing nothing. To progress you need loads of carbon fiber, aluminum bars, and motherboards for research, I've found carbon fiber is the one always slowing me down.
Interesting idea cover partially the machineries is very nice for some machine’s, wit that carbon walls and carbon part’s is like a proper automatic factory 🏭
Heya Z. Just a short question im kinda curious about. your voice is kinda familiar to me from some multiplayer games. Have you ever played any Gary's Mod games? If so with who?
I know this has 0 inpact on the folowing few videos? but please for the love of everything. learn to use your splitters and filter the right way. 2 splitters in a row = 1 with front to 3 en right to 1 (for an example). you want to fix your resources and make them quick. please built a temporary coal engine or fix your daim solarpannels. I really can't handle this anymore hahahhaha
It may be time to go off and search for more planetoids with Aluminum, Titanium, and Uranium. Don't forget, you can take planetoids with you as you travel, so long as you are docked in some way.
If I may offer another tip, quit trying to talk so fast. Sometimes it sounds like you're mumbling and not understandable. The forced laughs are still a bit cringeworty.
15:54 You do realize you could just set proportions on previous splitter instead of adding another one? And at 22:42 again. 24:31 and again. -_- 18:25 Congrats, you made it output less plates into rods machine instead of more as you initially planned. 34:23 Can't say is it better or worse since you actually never walking there, but what you really should consider is to update the wiring and move most of it under the floor. The idea with the floor isn't bad, but it's only good when you have no plans to update anything below it in the future and sure it works right. Especially splitters.
instead of making a loop that goes back on itself you can input a 2 or 3 in the belt you want to prioritize. for example 3 rods goes into making screws vs 1 going into storage. you don't have to keep it at 1 to 1. I like your old set up better. it's not so looped back on itself. you could have just left it alone and delete the ones on one side to make the more advanced materials. i agree with you on the storage of intermediate materials. you could have one storage in the middle to store intermediate materials and have all the resource split to one belt. you can make it 3-1 or even 5-1 (the one to storage). having materials loop back on itself is kinda confusing. i'd just build a second machine to combine resource that i need processed materials for. just make a mesh box for the belt instead of blocking the whole floor.
the floor over the belt system looks good with the mesh wall element. ore collection needs to be expanded as your smelters are going idle quite a bit. more mines & harvesters on the planetoid dumping all into ore storage. add additional harvesters on the collection wings stretching aft. double check power generation and make sure you stay power positive get another Astronaut to run the second research unit and one to maintain the Cafe. move all Manned stations, Habitats & equipment up to it's own level with access into the production areas.
8:00 not have a point to have 2 constuctor. me having 6 pumping plate at light speed because i can. also if you happen to see this save some aluminium bar because you need it for space research. also you should alway use advance version in this game. recipe kinda similar but 3 ore for 2 ingot vs 4ore for 3 ingot may seem little but if you mine the whole planetoid it gave you extra around1-2k ingot and that's a lot. also since equipment in this game can make multiple item of different type at the same time the most optimal way is to mix input but seperate output. there is no point to just put one machine to single product just make sure it not overload the belt so you don't have to move stuff around yourself ( it not that hard in this game anyway. )
You keep saying, "In all honesty." Does that mean you aren't honest all the time? I assume everyone is until they prove otherwise. I appreciate your videos, thanks!
Your going to want more than 1 manufacturers. While it can do many things, some items take a long time to produce so you'll need more to keep up with production and usage demands.
Im pretty sure you can force out a single sort of item from a storage if you put a blocker on the exit and filter out the resource you want to go through. Im also pretty sure youve done that before..
Have you learned anything from Satisfactory??? Smelt 1st!!! Iron Rods should have been far easier to make, than the way you have it now!! You should already be making them in the 2 wings!! Even belt/pipe them to research!! Which should already be automatically filled & filtered!! You're only making everything worse by complicating it!!!

Instead of stacking splitters, why don't you just change the numbers to 1/0/2? Load balance without complicating belt work
Thought the same, a lot of unnecessary splitters
Was going to say something like that as well. But you said it better.
You could also add filters to which items get split in that amount if you don't want carbon going one way, filter that splitter out put everything else
Cause he wanted some to go to storage i think the ratio should be more like a 1/1/2 or a 1/1/3
NVM, I see the madness he's cooking up lol

I believe those drills are intended for early use with the harpoon mechanic, before you get engines and miners :)
you can also define numbers in the 3 way splitter , 1,1,9 for example , to force 1 left , 1 straight then the next 9 out of the right side.
Kinda wondering about that. It seemed he could have just done 2 and 1 and not had the extra belts. Glad I wasn't missing anything lol.

very cool
For the transfer tubes input/outputs can't you connect to the top and bottom of them as well?
If you press U on a belt or building you already have an updgrade for, if you have the required materials in warehouse or inventory, it will upgrade it in situ, and you dont need to delete anything :)
You can upgrade existing machines appairently by clicking on them and hit u for upgrade
You probably need to check your pipe to belt machines, they will buffer materials and give you the impression your machines are keeping up when actually it's just that they are storing materials.
You're gonna hate that floor the first time you have to rearrange your machines again like you do almost every episode :D
Just a heads up Guys/Gals you can dock to a big Island and then proceed to move it around with your station so you can dock multiple Big Islands together and make a super Island

You don't need to place 2 splitters one by one. Place 1 and then just set ratio to 1:2 or 1:3 on it
it looks better with the walls and floors on top of the conveyors
Btw, wires and pipes can go through the floor, it doesn't need to be deleted.
Upgrade select item then U

I like the game a lot. will buy^^
By the way, something something splitters and so on.
ed: Beautification! Let's go!
15:54 You do realize you could just set proportions on previous splitter instead of adding another one? And at 22:42 again. 24:31 and again. -_-
18:25 Congrats, you made it output less plates into rods machine instead of more as you initially planned.

just make a mesh box for the belt instead of blocking the whole floor.
the floor over the belt system looks good with the mesh wall element.
ore collection needs to be expanded as your smelters are going idle quite a bit.
more mines & harvesters on the planetoid dumping all into ore storage. add additional harvesters on the collection wings stretching aft.
double check power generation and make sure you stay power positive
get another Astronaut to run the second research unit and one to maintain the Cafe.
move all Manned stations, Habitats & equipment up to it's own level with access into the production areas.
8:00 not have a point to have 2 constuctor. me having 6 pumping plate at light speed because i can. also if you happen to see this save some aluminium bar because you need it for space research.
also you should alway use advance version in this game. recipe kinda similar but 3 ore for 2 ingot vs 4ore for 3 ingot may seem little but if you mine the whole planetoid it gave you extra around1-2k ingot and that's a lot.
also since equipment in this game can make multiple item of different type at the same time the most optimal way is to mix input but seperate output. there is no point to just put one machine to single product just make sure it not overload the belt so you don't have to move stuff around yourself ( it not that hard in this game anyway. )
You keep saying, "In all honesty." Does that mean you aren't honest all the time? I assume everyone is until they prove otherwise. I appreciate your videos, thanks!
Too many items from one machine could over-complicate stuff, using multiple for certain items would definitely work better.
Your going to want more than 1 manufacturers. While it can do many things, some items take a long time to produce so you'll need more to keep up with production and usage demands.
The best thing about reading comments, is that it's so obvious when people comment without watching the video xD
Im pretty sure you can force out a single sort of item from a storage if you put a blocker on the exit and filter out the resource you want to go through. Im also pretty sure youve done that before..
You should do the carbon fiber in the second machine since you already are doing 5 items in the first.
You'll need a *ton* of carbon fiber for research. You'll be glad your making it ahead of time.
The no clip looks clean
Don't use multiple splitters. You can just adjust the number of things in one splitter
You'll come to regret that second floor as you progress and want to modify the belts
dont anyone tell him the the U key upgrades things. lets see how long he doesnt use his brain for.
The walls look good the only thing that would be a concern is if you need to access the belts for any reason at all
You are going to need a ton of carbon fiber. That is all I am going to say.
Adding the second floor looks really good, and add the mesh wall. I wouldn't do that until you're pretty sure you won't need to add more belts
i prefer just mesh wall and flooring around the belts leave everything else unblocked.
the labs have inputs so u can automate reaserch and science and other
Did you ever figure out that to remove the foundations you need to unlock the Foundation research first?
Yes
I think the “one planet is not enough” in the intro is the devs way to tell you to build a new planet out of fragments, not just a ship.
Z you should try to avoid the tubes going to the same belt it just makes everything back up a lot
Brother your over thinking thing
You can put a filter on the output and it should only output that item from the warehouse.
Definitely the outlined and meshed wall model would look good right.
Build death Star .
Unlock Signaling
fence = cool
I ❤ this
