There is a blender alternate that makes scrap straight out of bauxite, reducing the number of steps from 3 to 1. It's a lifesaver. And sanity saver. Also saves a lot of space. Did I mention sanity?
Ya but it also means you have to use sulfuric acid. I prefer going Sloppy alumina and pure aluminum ingot, as it cuts silica out entirely, and thus just less "things" involved. Less yield true, but not by much.
This recipe relies on sulfur to make aluminum and also requires you to deal with wastewater that would then need a really complicated setup to recycle it or sink it with limestone. This suggestion really does not save any steps or sanity, imho.
7:40 I love the brute force number guessing :) You can set the incoming amount with the clock speed. Desired amount/default amount*100. So for this it would be 20/90*100 and it'll do the math for you.
Jace and Satisfactory, feeling nostalgic at the moment. Thanks Jace! Not to be a jerk, but I'm still waiting to feel like I can relate, and connect to you in some other way than Satisfactory. I try to watch all your vids, and try to get most of your streams too. Just looking forward to more of you in some other capacity.
personally for the excess water of the aluminum factory, I just used another refinery with a recipe that makes iron ingots from iron ore and water, put them straight into the sink because I don't need them
A couple things I should engineer-splain. Sloppy electrodes are a sign of a healthy sex life, as are variable input priority. Butt positionimg, sorry, BUT, positioning a water extractor to an off-grid (or any) foundation works best by placing a junction on the foundation, then you get extractor properly aligned. Remember, have fun out there and be safe, lube your chassis regularly!
Everyone complains about aluminuminuminium. I know I sure did. But my first alum factory, I belted all alum to the plateau just south-west of the map center, above the 1 pure and 2 normal oil nodes. That's the perfect amount of oil for petro coke for electrode alt, and the leftover resin makes rubber, leftover oil for a small fuel or turbo fuel or plastic depot and burn excess TF in gens.
Love seeing another vid. But i am curious. If anyone out there plays like me. I never got to nuke power. Because i made everything more of an "on demand" style of production. I had a large battery bank that would "charge up". While i was gathering thr materials for what i wanted to make. Then i would inject the mats into a belt. That would allow a mass production, on demand. So i never needed tons of power plants, beyond coal and some fuel, just for quick power spikes.
The visuals in the swamp can be pretty oppressive but fr the bauxite and sulfur nodes kept sending me back there for nuclear. I'm actually kind of glad it was nerfed a bit for 1.0 so I won't feel as inefficient making one elsewhere!
6:30 - You'd be MUCH better off not messing with potential floating point errors by making a coal generator and routing the excess water byproduct from the aluminum scrap refinery to it. I've never had good success with sending byproduct back into an earlier part of the system.
What I found works well: never try to pump more than 540 into a 600 pipe. This lets the pipes act as buffers for fluctuations. Use a variable input priority junction to recycle water. Or, use a second set of refineries that use only water. To be extra safe, a final output to an impure limestone node or a buffer priority fed from a wet concrete factory. Usually not necessary.
Exciting to see new players discover this game.
Thanks! I really love the game. The devs have done an incredible job.
Devs and former team members, too!

I guess I missed this or didn't have the recipe! Definitely sounds nice though. Sanity is in short supply these days xD
preach @@jembawlsI roll a sanity check every 25th hour of the day.

Thanks Jace, helps a lot
you can use fractions when setting the clock speed, for example, for setting 8.888889 you could set it to 400/45
...juuuuust in time for 1.0 to roll out and start all over again. Yay! haha

Sloppy alumina solution about to make me act up.
Legit one of the best recipes in the game. No more annoying Silica balancing.

I like the new editing.
I didn't know you could change the clock speed by setting items per minute! I always used the slider.
Yep! And you can set the % directly too, and even use math in that field to calculate it. Crazy stuff!
2 weeks on tuesday, i cant wait for 1.0
I want to play this game so bad, but I'm holding out until 1.0 drops.
same
Im not gonna play till spetember 10th when the toilet flush edition comes out
Just discovering nuclear while I've beaten the game 4x over years ago...
hey jace! will you play shapez 2 on your channel?
Jace, I miss you.
I'm right here!
Those were the streams...
i did a set of 3 nuclear reactors and left it at that
SAD. The math works better in pairs.
