The Crust 10: Sending Out Expeditions / New Features / Exclusive Footage!

[@MandaloretheSavage]

I would like to suggest, for your consideration, that when you rebuild the multiregalith processors you have multiple feed lines into a Large Bulk storage container and tha. feed the MRProcessors, this would let you focus less on balancing each processor and more on keeping enough inflow to the Bulk Storage to keep the processors continuously supplied no matter what.

[@KatherineOfSky]

They are exact ratios, so having a bulk processor would just run into an issue of keeping full. You would need 2 input belts and 2 output... thereby limiting the distribution of the bulk storage, so I dont really see the point. It wont balance between many outputs

[@RH-ik1jw]

16:50 "12 of these Borg cubes is almost two hundred thousand". better recheck your math on that lol. each frame is about 2500, so 12 is only 30000. Way cheaper to build than buy.

[@Sullrosh]

flipping the buildings can sometimes let you use less undergrounds because the like inputs are next together.

[@KatherineOfSky]

I keep forgetting

[@smeezer]

I also found a fun little exploit. if you're in drill mode and start just moving the map around, in partially visible areas look for a sparkle between the squares, and in completely undiscovered areas, scroll across the map and you'll see little storm cloud looking things - that's all the resources no need to use energy on the ore scanner until you actually expose the vein lol

[@blitz8009]

I think the reason for the 2 resource menus are the one on the right shows inventory increasing/decreasing. Blue is increasing brown is steady/decreasing. Its a way if watching how your inventory is building. Like at a glance you can see if your steal isn't keeping up with demand

[@chimmy_jim]

The power still seems weird. I keep feeling like I'm missing some part of what is happening. Definitely needs like an info screen with max dis/charge rate, supply from solar, and storage capacity. It looks likes now there are not enough batteries, as the input power from solar can't get stored fast enough? Maybe? Fun series, all the same!

[@Latronibus]

It's easy enough to do the math on how the batteries can perform in comparison to your max consumption (and your max consumption can be seen from the UI). What's *super* unclear is how much the solar panels actually do on balance.

[@txgorilla]

There should be a filter for Contracts. Ship/Rover and Resource... Mabe as an upgrade?

[@KatherineOfSky]

The devs are working on completely revamping the contract system

[@MikelNaUsaCom]

I've found that if you buy low and sell high, it's a bit micro manag-eey... but once you have plenty of cash, the game gets much easier. Another tip, which you can't do in a video, is to let the robots clean up as much of the floor as possible so that they aren't distracted by random tasks. Additionally, since convoys give back most of the money when disassembled (which is increased with later research) it's quite easy to run a bus past the flight center, and cargo building... then just connect up the belts that are needed by a contract and fill up on a per contract basis. In bit burner, automating the stock market is great for making profits, in this game you can't automate it, but again, having plenty of cash makes the game much easier. Also, once you have cash, you can load up on robots - when the price is low, and that helps a treat for gathering resources. Happy Pre-Friday. =D

[@jackofall2305]

You will fall for the rover/spaceship boss everytime

[@KatherineOfSky]

THere's no boss in this game.

[@jackofall2305]

@@KatherineOfSky I know, it's a joke. You always end up clicking the rover contracts

[@ah0mamy]

"that's what happened, we where building these when the game crashed" Proced to do the exact same thing without saving the game

[@KatherineOfSky]

I had changed the autosave frequency, as I noted.

[@munkandbear2818]

The problem with buying goods to satisfy jobs is that it will break you if it is done too often.

[@KatherineOfSky]

52.53 The belt from topp are not in use.

[@KyleChildress-yg3sg]

could you please look at the quick transport shuttle? I believe it holds twice as much as the normal one, faster and I believe its not much more expensive.

[@KatherineOfSky]

Darn, I tried. Just opened the game, and my save wouldn't load :-( It just crashed the game

[@smeezer]

I still haven't run into issues, but i'm starting to see orders that are 16,000 and it gets tedious lol maybe that's who the bigger pod is for

[@blitz8009]

I don't even get contracts in my play throughs or even urgent contracts. Only ones i get are the scripted ones. And only expeditions i get are just the first few scripted and i get a few more once i build the repeater but thats it.

[@KatherineOfSky]

I'm playing freeplay. Are you playing campaign? Also, you need to research the markets & contracts as I did in the first episode of freeplay.

[@RH-ik1jw]

In story mode, you don't get the regular contracts until after you complete all of Ledger's special contracts first. You don't have to fill them though, so you could just deny them all till they are done. Last one is Metis, and then a short time after it finishes the contract section will open up.

[@TinyDanc3r07]

I just want the factorio update 😫 then more videos. Been binging the current one youve got going, but Trains are a pain. Cant get them lined up.

[@KatherineOfSky]

Come to our discord and we can help!

[@edwardefram9239]

Ma'am I'm just going to say say something you're not making enough to send out and you need to make a lot more like speed up all your stuff so you can make stuff like your refineries and conveyor belts and yes I understand it takes money but it also takes time but you need to start making a lot more so you can sell a lot more you get the concept I hope

[@KatherineOfSky]

I have been using that concept since I started playing the game years ago... Do you think I can conjure new machines by magic? Extra power, materials, money can come to me by wishing for it???
