Building a MASSIVE Steam Factory from Scratch in Orebound!

[@Umbrio79]

For the underground ale brewing, there are Ancient tree roots underground that you attach a drill to and get wood from them. If you find one of those you will be able to set everything up near it or just run a cart up to the barrel maker. I know it's very tiresome to have to relocate absolutely everything with these massive machines.

ill figure it out as i go.

[@edvingetko2595]

You can see in boiler menu how much precure you got and how much precure you need!

[@Hybridsteel]

only if you hovver over the steam thing. just found this out.

[@johnmuller4267]

you can run the pipes underground.

i was thinking this but i couldnt be bothered to pull up the floor and faff about with it all and honestly i like the overhead look as it cleans it up.

Hybridsteel: Have you thought of crushing the ore before you 4-way split it? I don't know if that will be a useful idea for u since I don't know what floor plan you have in your head for your base. My general idea is to both save space & resources that way. Anyways, cheers & good luck!

[@Hybridsteel]

i did think about it but then thought it might slow down the splitting process at the start. What i mean is when u crush down to ore powder it takes longer so getting to the next bit in this case smelting it would take longas as ur crushing first then splitting just 1 as the other is getting powdered.

1 water pump make 100 water and the steam boiler only needs 10 water so 1 water runs 10 steam builers = 1000 steam ..plus hover over the steam icon in the boiler interface to see all the information

[@Hybridsteel]

didnt know that if i hovered over the number it tells you.. would be nice to see it on the main tab and not hovering but least i know now.

[@dougbock5599]

Someone mentioned 1 drill to 2 crusher to 4 smelting

[@Hybridsteel]

yeah i thought about it but it means crushing takes longer so it sorts slower. thats how i saw it atleast

[@daswort2]

1 drill into 2 crusher and for each crusher its own smelter. one crusher needs to 2 seconds for 1 powder and 1 smelter needs 4 seconds and uses 2 powder. So both together work on 100% efficiency

[@daswort2]

I think you might be able to hook up 3 crushers on 1 drill tho. With just two they were slowly filling up as well. Probably something between 2 and 3.

[@Hybridsteel]

@@daswort2 well i did 4 per drill and it works for me and i got no issues

[@daswort2]

@Hybridsteel 4 crusher? Cool that you can get so much out of it. I thought 3 max. But it's good to know
