Planet Crafter 1.0 - Mining Automation and Big Pressure [E15]

[@lilithhawkins6454]

I got this game thinking it was a small simple one. I'm just learning about all the stuff I have to do and get to. I'm gonna be playing for months.

[@surtrplays]

Awesome, isn't it? Enjoy.

[@baronvonschnellenstein2811]

Ooh, you're "cooking with gas", now :) Well timed to start re-focusing on the game story ;-) Yep: That sulphur bottleneck is a thing, isn't it. I'll be installing an additional drill for that in my next session. Meanwhile, I found a couple of pretty curious places in my explorations, but I'll keep stumm about those as doubtless they'll be seen here over the next few episodes 👍

[@surtrplays]

Thanks. I will get to everything. It is tough to balance progress while showing everything in the game. There is so much.

[@SonneFrank]

With T3 Ore Extractor you can do Sulfur anywhere, no need to put it in the sulfur mist. AND i should have waited, as you said it :D When you set supply or demand on things for the drones, you can hold CTRL to add more at once.

[@surtrplays]

Thanks and noted.

[@deecozy]

Thanks for all the information, never would’ve figured it out without help.

[@surtrplays]

Happy to help! Thanks for watching.

[@pixiestar123]

Thanks for the content!! So glad you're in (I'm assuming by the accent) the UK and are 5ish hrs ahead of me so I can enjoy my morning tea while watching your videos. I've just unlocked the portal in my game, and wow.... can't wait to see that when you do too! Also looking forward to when you discover the warden's keys😉 keep up the great videos!! Much love from Canada!

[@daezeechayne462]

He sounds South African to me, love his accent🎶

[@surtrplays]

Thank you very much for watching. @daezeechayne462 is right. I'm in South Africa, so about 6 hours ahead of you.

[@chazmartdesigns4308]

As always, quality work my friend. I’m surprised you don’t use teleporters very much, i set one up at each mine immediately.

[@surtrplays]

Thanks. I still like to travel. Eventually I will have them everywhere as soon as I have Pulsars secure.

[@tacrat9692]

Great content! Love the idea of remotely locating your machines. I’m when setting up my automation I prefer to build the smaller supply crates for the low demand items that use resources. Such as fabric, rocket engines (late game) etc. That way one low use items don’t suck your resources so fast. This would work well for the super cave for the aluminum. With just the one needed to make a rod.

[@surtrplays]

Thank you. That's a good strategy.

[@Karagianis]

TBH I like to wait on drone supplying distant mines until I can unlock the T2 drones (from trade), they're a lot faster, so helps cut down the travel time.

[@surtrplays]

Yup. I usually start of with a few T1 drones just to get things going.

[@LEGOLIZED]

awesome bro ....this game is very addictive i think.....only watching get you hooked ...have a great day

[@surtrplays]

Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for the visit.

[@DArinMorgan-l6l]

Thank you for these. New subscriber here. Your videos are very informative and well presented.

[@surtrplays]

Thank you very much.

[@HeruKane]

I like the idea of putting the various terraforming category machines (pressure, heat, etc) in their own sections outside of base view. Maybe surround them with tree spreaders or something. I could see adding a base module with teleporter so that you can easily move between them without travel times. That could be fun too. Same with adding teleporters to each of the mining outpost sites. Good stuff here!

[@surtrplays]

Thanks. There is still a lot of work to do.

[@33Jasphere]

Thanks for another awesome Episode guess today Ill go back to the wrecks with fusion Generators and do them blocked doors hope you have a great day My friend 😀😀😀😀

[@surtrplays]

Thank you for watching and have fun in the wrecks.

[@Rogerfoulger]

I like putting the T5 drills in the sulphur fields then hide them with trees

[@surtrplays]

A good spot for it.

[@lahirunirmal]

Unlocked drones today life has never been this easy

[@surtrplays]

Yeah, its fantastic.

[@StyxAnnihilator]

I'm trying to figure out how much are needed of end stuff. BTW, you can get 6 lockers of sulfur from me, still have a full T2 storage and T3 auto-miner to fill it by T2 drones. XD

[@surtrplays]

LOL, send it over.

[@StyxAnnihilator]

@@surtrplays OK, will take some months, using a cheap container ship. XD

[@SeismicRhino]

23:00 I know this isn't Pokémon (yet), but you found a shiny T5 Drill my friend😅

[@surtrplays]

LOL.

[@sheldonpetrie3706]

I always deconstructed the gold chests.

[@surtrplays]

I developed a bad habit of leaving them because at one point there was a bug that refilled them. Ever since then I don't deconstruct any chests. A habit I need to get out of.

[@norwegiangadgetman]

I think you messed up in the SA Cave. I have no idea why you set the locker in there to demand SA. I believe AutoCrafters Don't grab from the Ore Extractor until it contains enough SA to make a ROD, so odds are it'll never get enough to make a ROD because Drones will grab them. The best way to set this up is to set up one or more T3s in the cave, to extract SA. Have a Locker or Chest to demand Aluminium and an AutroCrafter set to produce and Supply SA RODs. If you need lots of SA and you don't want to break down RODs, set up another T3 outside the range of the AutoCrafter and set it to Supply SA. If you're not going to build a lot of Drones, I will sugfgest that you place your ACs and assorted Generators in groups so that the Drones only have to pick up the finished product, and not have to transport raw materials all the time. Waterfall Area... There's a pair of Pulsar Quartz on top of the Waterfall. All the way to the top... Silk. Why not just throw a few Fabrics in the Recycler? I'm not really certain why you're pushing so much heat and pressure now. After all, you've unlocked everything in those lines. Wouldn't it be better to focus more on Insects?

[@surtrplays]

No worries. The super alloy storage will fill up and then rods will get sorted. When I have more extractors it will be better. I am getting there with insect and animals. Will push soon.

[@facelessmask9378]

I love this game so much, but I think it would be better if they added a little more content. All I can say is that this game is a 9/10 for me.

[@surtrplays]

It is very good. I am sure there is more to come.

[@muskokarinkrat]

Ah, watched more, see you do have some teleporters

[@surtrplays]

I didn't really need them much.

[@urkerab]

I remember originally the bees would launch with the rocket, then in an update that stopped working and the bees stayed behind, so I guess the easiest fix was to remove the bees completely. For the Osmium and Super Alloy T3 Ore Extractors, if I understood your setup it's possible that the drones might be able to take the ore before the Auto-Crafter can make a rod, but eventually your storage will fill up anyway. Don't forget you can always recycle Fabric into Silk (do that out of the range of your Auto-Crafter). You should have the T3 Mutagen, it unlocked before the Circuit Board, didn't it?

[@surtrplays]

It is possible that the drones will take super alloy first but its not a problem one way or another. Yes, I forgot about the Mutagen. I think I have fixed it for the next episode.

[@jamesmcdonald3054]

Volnus flowers look nice in pots, but they also yield the size 3 gene, which is important if your first few critters like to hide in foliage.

[@surtrplays]

Thanks. I haven't even started with animals.

[@Rogerfoulger]

serina is high tier butterfly 1200% multiplier

[@surtrplays]

Ahh yes, It is the top one that you can craft if I am remembering correctly.

[@urkerab]

Best butterfly with explicit crafting recipe.

[@surtrplays]

Thanks.

[@GPappi-t7o]

Hey Surtr. Not able to watch right now but dropping that like in the meantime. 😊

[@surtrplays]

All good

[@The_destroyer0]

nice video

[@surtrplays]

Thanks for the visit.

[@artman40]

Imagine if it turns out that the player character's crime was polluting the environment.

[@surtrplays]

LOL. It would be interesting to know what the crime was.

[@hamrad88]

How do you make or get warp gate to get to other worlds? Thank you

[@surtrplays]

That is the portal generator. I assume it takes you to places further away on the same planet. If you follow the story, the ships all crashed for a reason. We will get into that soon.

[@hamrad88]

@@surtrplays I got the portal generator but to go to the better places it takes crystals that are hard to find. Like the magnetar quartz. Trying decide if I should use them on the 5/5 location which requires 3 or something else. Suggestions?

[@hamrad88]

@@surtrplays Interesting, many locations are not available even thou I have the correct quartz. I have to keep scanning to find something I like. Interesting.

[@surtrplays]

@@hamrad88 you should find he crystals that you need in the Rainbow caves.

[@hamrad88]

@@surtrplays Yes, I found a few that I needed but not enough. I did find a few in the first world I went to. Thanks for your help.

[@muskokarinkrat]

Is there a reason you are not using the teleporter, or has it not unlocked? I thought I saw it in one screen view.

[@surtrplays]

I will be looking for that urgently. Thanks.

[@1Brengun]

Mine is in an update queue with steam atm. Have you got one scheduled as well?

[@surtrplays]

Yes, it looks like a patch that they had in the unstable branch for the last few days.

[@Foxy_girl37]

It may still be a long trip for them to get back-and-forth, but you’re eventually probably gonna make a lot of drones and it’ll pay out in the end. Hopefully everything’s looking good on here. Keep up the good work.

[@surtrplays]

Thank you for watching.

[@Foxy_girl37]

@@surtrplays I really love watching this game and anybody who plays it which I made playlist from everybody else’s so if anybody else wants to see them, they can

[@Foxy_girl37]

You could put a drone station out there by the obsidian mine and then put some lockers out there and then transfer it to your base

[@surtrplays]

I'm not sure that it would make a difference in my setup. They still need to make two trips.

[@Foxy_girl37]

@@surtrplays it was just a random thought
