With the solar panels, my guess is that their "value" cones from being space efficient, as they probably don't have the same spacial requirements as the wind farms. Although given the size of the map space isn't super important at the moment

[@monad_tcp]

that bothers me, solar is 10 times better than wind IRL. this planet must have massive wind storms for wind to be that efficient, wind is pretty crap usually...

[@shades6194]

@@monad_tcp could also be farther away from the sun

[@firedale2002]

You're correct. The Solar stations can be put right next to each other (and even in-between the Wind Turbines). They also have an upgrade later on in the tech tree that makes them produce 75 instead of 50.

[@firedale2002]

@@monad_tcp Based on the name of the upgrade later on for Solar that makes them produce 75 instead of 50, it's apparently due to the planet just being extremely dusty and windy, so they get coated in dust, reducing their efficiency, which, I guess, makes sense with it being a desert planet and Wind power being so strong.

[@monad_tcp]

@@firedale2002 that makes sense

[@Lamycore]

If you look to the left of the screen you can see some tabs. tab nr 3 shows workers to production ratio and you can shift production rate depending on demand. Real handy :) Later on the items you make will be really slow to produce, so it's good to put factories that depend on each other closer together to get that tasty efficiency increase. Also, upgrade your habitats to increase your research options. Be careful though, if your housing gets downgraded because of lack of anything, you'll loose the ability to research in that tier. Also also, you don't have to delete factories to change roads, you can just move them to a different place while making edits. This aint no Cities Skylines :P

[@MrMaradok]

A bit of a consolation prize for accidentally downgrading in science, the science factories sill produce their respective colors, so you'll at least have a backlog.

[@amazingralph2425]

Solar panels produce more energy with less space needed, thats a thing to consider. Also, with the buttons up the left you can actually see what your production and demand is and build factories accordingly, it really helps to get a grasp on how much you really need. Also also, you unlock new techs possibilities by growing your population

[@Mrs_whynot232]

Yes! They do all the math for you, so you can see what all the ratios need to be or if you need one more green factory to make more electronics.

[@rhysgriffiths3544]

So I'm a RealCivilEngineeringStudent, always happy to hear about some engineering principles during my light entertainment.

[@Crestedrested]

Being an engineer and hearing the explanation of creep, I heard myself explaining simple concepts to my family and friends and I laughed and enjoyed the hell out of it… family and friends are thinking “is he talking again?” “Yeah just let him go on a bit, he gets more from this than we do.”

[@torgranael]

My mother and brother think this every time my father or I start discussing entry level physics, chemistry, or even basic algebra.

[@bacon8837]

The top left buttons contain menus for how many houses are required to unlock the different research tiers as well as production/consumption ratios to help you see if you are overproducing anything. This is really handy to keep the jobs under or at your population level. Cheers and thanks for another great video! :D

[@dahien6680]

You should check your sulfur and sand production for concrete again,. The miners have different mining times. By clicking on the 3rd icon in the upper left corner you can look at your production and consumption rates to see if you're producing enough or too much. The solar panels are more space efficient as you can place them directly next to each other. I would recommend making a huge solar plant in one of the corners of the map where they won't disturb your factory. The 2nd icon shows you your citizen's level and the requirements for upgrading and downgrading your whole city. Upgrading your roads makes them faster every time, but keep in mind that buildings can't be connected to highway-type roads.

[@jonathanyes112]

I kind of imagine InfraSpace as a place with no gravity so hovercraft pull the vehicles to the roads and creep can’t work cos there’s no force on it.

[@sophiaaldrin]

true Bro 👌👌👌👌🎖🏆🏅🥉🥈🥇 Salute

[@omdevs]

Well said👌👌

[@Taolan8472]

Its also possible that they have changed their reinforcement methods to prevent gravitational creep. The hover trucks are probably mag-lev.

[@stevethebarbarian9876]

@@Taolan8472 Mag-lev still applies the same force to the ground as regular tires, but that wouldn't matter in a very low-gravity environment.

[@albertjordan3249]

This seems implausible assuming physics works in infraspace the same way it does IRL. We know the planet has an atmosphere, otherwise wind turbines wouldn't produce electricity. We also know that in order to maintain an atmosphere not just have it disperse into space requires the presence of gravity. Therefore if there is wind, there must be gravity (or some other gravity like force). You could argue that some other force like magnetism is keeping the atmosphere in place, say because the atmosphere is composed exclusively of charged particles... but that would probably have lots of weird and deleterious effects on any construction and people living there.

[@ShinwaneKido]

Hello, RCE. Last night I bought this game too and I figured out how to unlock the next level. Basically, you need to build more habitats so that more immigrants coming in to fill in the population. To check for the progress, click the button right below the "Research". Each habitat have their own level and you need to reach that amount. I also unlocked the Highways (Tier 3) and from what I see after playing at least 5 hours, you cannot connect highways to buildings. So I suggest to stick with Concrete Roads (Tier 2), but to connect with faraway places, hit that Highyways.

[@nexxai]

When you're districting, you can use the buttons below the drawing tool on the popout panel to set which districts receive resources from other districts. For example, you could create a district of a group of copper mines, a separate district of some electronics factories, and then you click on the electronics icon on the popout panel and draw an arrow from the copper mine district to the electronics factories district and now the copper from those mines will only go to those factories. You can do that for any type of resource, whether it's raw ore, carbon, electronics chips, food from farms, etc. Also you need a certain number of citizens at a certain level to unlock the next group on the tech tree. So keep upgrading your housing and growing your population in those upgraded housing blocks, and it will unlock new stuff for you to research! Absolutely love this series (might even be my favorite on your channel) - please keep it up!

Fun History Story: Winston Churchill was famous of holding meetings while he was taking a bath. Well, during one of these meetings. He met with the investor of pykrete. To make their point of how durable pykrete was verses normal ice. The inventor dropped a block of ice into Churchill's hot bath water. It melted rather quickly. Soon they dropped a same size block of pykrete in and it didn't melt right away. Well, for I think 20 minutes Churchill played with the block. And explained, "I want a boat made out of this stuff!" And well...it didn't really happen. As the model was built but the project was later canceled. Due to that they really didn't need an ice ship. As Germany was being beaten back and airbases were being seized and used.

[@torgranael]

I had a thought. When going from one tier to the next, build an entire new district of housing. Instead of upgrading your buildings, you'll essentially end with slums on the edge of town, and housing conditions improved as you go across the map (instead of tiered rings, think of GTA SA's Los Santos, with ghettos on one side of the map, middle class business districts in the centre/other side, and wealthy folk in the hills overlooking the city). Haven't tested it myself, but with the tendency to downgrade city level if you don't have enough buildings it seems like a good idea. I had a city collapse on itself when upgrading from t3 to t4 buildings. Because the level up requirement for t4 population is so much larger than the requirement for t3 population, I too few t3 habitats before getting too many t4 habitats, resulting in a city downgrade. This caused a chain reaction of having no t2 buildings, leading to a downgrade, then having no t1 buildings, leading to a downgrade. Not having separate 'neighbourhoods' (won't say districts, as that's defined in game and might get confusing) can result in catastrophically downgrading the city and having research completely halt while you scramble to build shoddy housing. This was a while ago though so it may have changed. I hope they redefined the minimum thresholds as t# or higher, to avoid this issue. I completely restarted after this incident since it basically required replaying significant portions of the game, with the handicap of building around the collapsed city. I should start playing it again, but I have too many active games already.

[@OnlyKarlos]

To upgrade your town, there's a menu on the left (one of the buttons) that shows the requirements to upgrade as well as the population you have of each level. Once your town upgrades, you get the new research.

[@KrisKorpenfelt]

The point of the solar power is that you don't need to space them out like wind turbines. You can pack them in and generate more power per area. Also you can replace roads with that R button in the road panel, and you can move factories around rather than deleting them if you want, it saves resources.

[@aethertoast4320]

The main material creep I am familiar with with some training with computers including A+ Certification is "chip creep". Which is when chips slowly start to wiggle out of place due to thermal expansion and contraction due to the part heating and cooling down.

Your playthrough of this convinced me to purchase it. In playing it, I've noticed that the Construction Material Storage things don't store everything, only Concrete and Steel. Everything else is stored in the production buildings that make them; they won't put them into that storage building. Mentioning this so you can adjust and have more room to build since you don't need that storage building everywhere near resources, only specifically near Concrete and Steel production.

Helpful tip: There's a menu on the left called Production Overview, it shows you how much you're producing and consuming of any resource. They're shown as yellow/orange when demand is higher than production.

[@more-reasons6655]

Matt, not all miners produce items at the same rate, the sulfer mines are more than twice as fast as the sand mines, so the ratio is 2:1 sand mines to sulfer mines, not the other way round

[@derekmcguire1504]

The storage only works for concrete and steel. And the size of one habitat is 4.5 units of road. So an easy way to go back to back is a road 9 units long with 90° corners on either side.

[@BitOBear]

The various and sundry tiers get unlocked by population quantity and quality. You have to get enough people of the correct advancement in order to unlock the next technology tier. I believe it's the second icon in the upper left hand corner that tells you how far you are from achieving the next milestone. The first couple milestones are really easy. So you're going to need to get your housing to evolve upwards.

You need to pay attention to the production speed and consumption of each building. For example concrete makers need 2 sulfur for each sand but the sand miners dig sand at about half the speed of the sulfur miners so you actually need 2 sand miners to each sulfur miner. (Opposite of what you did.)

[@MrMaradok]

I'm thinking that, unless the hover vehicles are powered by loud, noisy fans, the roads are probably all "smart roads," with powerful magnets and *possibly* even computer stuff for navigation -- though satellites would do the same thing, so I'm not sure.
