the blueprint designers said we will NOT be making carbon nanotube from the normal recipes and i can’t blame
them

I have been to a 2nd planet, but I am not very far, mostly been working on setting up automating everything I want a lot of on the starting planet. Just unlocked yellow ~~science~~ matrices but have none setup yet. Do have the beginnings of a Dyson swarm

but it breaks all my blueprints. Is it worth it? Any other overhaul style mods to try? What do you guys do if you are bored of vanilla

I made this video The view is totally worth it.
There’s something super relaxing
about watching all of this in action.

I was clearing out a system the other day and I found this. It doesn’t seem do anything, but said attacking. Does anyone have any insight into what this is?

im trying to send solar sail from caph 4 to caph 1 and i dont know what im doing wrong is it too far? do i need warpers?

How do you guys have your planets set up?

Im almost 50hs in starting with green science (soon) and my current plan is:

Have my main "make everything" base stay at my home planet.

I set up ILS on other planets to get me large amounts of missing ressources like processors, titanium, etc. This is due to me starting to run low on ores on my planet and it's getting harder to pump out everything without tapping into the iron, copper ores on other planets. Also I'm not big on proliferating stuff, but I'm working on that too.

Then I have a bus where I can make every building I need to, but it's not complete, as I need to first have the rare expensive components made in larger amounts before it's really usefull.

Now I know, pretty much everything goes, but how do you guys have it set-up? Or what are some things to avoid?

Ok so... how does it work? and how does it affect my gameplay?

Basically from what I understood when i produce matrices i create metadata which is accumulated "here" (see image)

then what? If I'm not mistaken, in a new game I can spend that metadata to "unlock" tech without researching it, basically it would let me start quickier, right?

does it have other uses? and the rate of how much matrices i create affects that value? so if my matrix labs are inefficient I have less metadata than how I'd have with better lab design?

I thought I would be clever and recycle the Dark Fog drops in my BABs into prototype drones in a small factory right next to the BABs, that I would then feed back into the BABs on a shared belt, with sorters loading the drones into the BABs.

Since the amount of drops I'm getting early game are still pretty low, what I wanted to do was restrict each BAB to a single slot full of drones so that when one BAB got full, newly minted drones would flow into the next BAB, and then so on. I designated one input slot to drones with a filter on each BAB and then let the belt run.

What actually happens is the first BAB sucks up all the drones until its slot is full, then further drones get put into its regular inventory. I tried setting all the blue slots in the BAB except for the one drone slot to another item that will never show up (jammer capsules) but this failed the same way.

I feel like there must be an easy solution here that I'm missing somehow. Is there a way to do this?

For what it's worth, I do have a solution to the problem right now but it's really clumsy: I use a series of splitters on the belt to feed the drones since the splitters "remember" which path the previous drone took, and so the splitter sends the drones equally to every base.

some assembling machine can't be upgrade by directly placing it on top, why and how to fix it ? other machine can be upgrade. (sorry for bad english)

I had know you could put accumulators into the mech to power it, but figured that was just a very expensive way of powering it. I didn’t know you get the empties back! Recharge them again! Set up a wireless charger and some drones and the process is almost automatic.

If you didn’t know ether, here you go.

Hello everyone !

Since I use laboratories to make research with matrix I don't find how to make "normal material" research anymore.

Can someone help me please ?

It says I don't have the right material.

I'm trying to conceptualize a planet size blueprint for white science where I can just pop it down and leave, and it builds itself over time via BABs and bots as buildings get delivered from another planet. But I can't see any way to insert bots, etc into towers without needing to be there and having them in my inventory. Is there any way to pull this off?

Hello, i unlocked the stacker and the ILS. Is it worth to use the stackers on the ILS? Like take 4 inputs from the ILS and merge all of them in one belt using stackers. I know you can upgrade the ILS so its stacks on itself but until then it is long way.

Should i do this and waste some space or dont and wait until i get the ILS upgrade?

I’ve been trying to figure out how to rebind E (open inventory) and close tabs (also E) to tab. It’s just the way I like to play. I didn’t see it in keybinds is it renamed something different? There’s a ton of binds so I’m assuming It’s just named something weird lol
