Why would it be cheating to have a reliable way to get seeds at the start? You start off with a reliable way to get more seeds from the fruits you've harvested, which is processing the fruits with productivity and not letting them spoil. To reiterate, there are two perspectives: one is that Gleba i...

You can get the steel and gears on two lanes pretty easily. Starting at the end of the belt with the gears, place one belt pointing up. Then move up one tile and place a belt pointing left. This will result in a belt with gears on the bottom lane and steel on the top lane.

If you want the music to wait four minutes before transitioning to a different track, increase music-transition-delay-ticks to 14400. Note that if the music track ends before this delay elapses it will simply transition at that point instead of continuing to wait.

I do agree that it's slow in a way that doesn't make things more fun. Ice platform is a major bottleneck for getting things rolling on Aquilo, and ice platform manufacture being slow doesn't make things more interesting. It just makes things slower. Also, comparisons to Sea Block are not flattering....

When I have to resort to asking for help (which is not what I want to do in a puzzle game, I want to solve the puzzle myself), I get contradictory advice (which is it: biochambers are required, or assembly machines?) *Productivity* is essentially required for sustainable fruit processing. The bioch...

I think the use of recyclers on Fulgora is an interesting gameplay mechanic (not my favorite, but certainly interesting). However recyclers have also become a back-door way to improve quality [snip] At the core of this weird "exploit" is the use of recycling in a quality loop. The existen...

A couple of things I noticed: 1. It looks like you're relying on fruits spoiling to get the spoilage for nutrients, which is the worst possible way to go about it, since you're losing potential seeds that way. If you're going to use spoilage for nutrients, let the *mash* spoil and use that for nutri...

The temperature of the heat pips steps down by 1C per tile from 512C to 502/501C. I would expect the temperature of the heating tower to keep dropping below 513C. A heat exchanger can't lower the temperature below 500. Since there needs to be a gradient for heat to move, it converges to this 1 C pe...

I've tried this, but it's not sustainable. There's just not enough resources to provide a sustainable reaction. It is sustainable as long as you have productivity modules in the step that processes the fruits or the biochamber's productivity bonus. Perhaps you could share a picture of your set up s...

You need to drop the engineer to the surface as well.

I'm really confused about how this is a useful strategy though. The Biochamber is useless without nutrients. My factory has no nutrients because there's no spoilage, because there's no fruit, because there's no seeds. Use the yumako mash to nutrients recipe, then the bioflux to nutrients recipe. Fu...

One of the biggest things in early game Gleba is that you want to ensure that every fruit is processed. Ideally in a biochamber for the productivity bonus. If you let fruit spoil, it's going to be much harder to keep things going. That means feeding the jelly and mash to heating towers if necessary ...

It's odd that the science pack used to unlock this weapon isn't used to upgrade it. Artillery uses metallurgic science for upgrades, tesla turrets use electromagnetic science, and rockets use agricultural science. Railguns are the odd one out in that their damage upgrade doesn't use the science pack...

With efficiency modules, electric furnaces are more energy efficient than steel furnaces, so you could shovel all that solid fuel into boilers and support more electric furnaces on the same amount of fuel.

Indeed. I didn't expect realism in space. But that you drift towards the nearest planet at 10km/s surprised me a bit though. I bet it's so you can't get stuck in space with your thrusters or fuel production destroyed. But really what is the point of that? Everything on the platform will be destroye...

At a guess, they're using asteroid chunk reprocessing.

Stack inserters by design do not handle mixed items well. That's why bulk inserters are preferable for situations where you need to handle more than one type of item.

The opt out is using bulk inserters instead.
