The MEGA Resin Factory - Shapez 2 - Episode 13

They did the ramp up of new mechanics really well

Totally agree about the stacker. A 1x1 makes it awkward to work with. It's better to make the platforms mesh well into builds than to compact unnecessarily. Props to whoever came up with it, but yeah, not practical. Also, when hauling paint via train, I've found that a space belt for paint can actually carry something like 3-4 "full" belts. So, 1 paint belt can carry 9-12 (I forget) fully extended miners worth of paint. It's kind of ridiculous and goes against what I thought the transfer rate stats said. So... you can load a single train stop with paint WAY faster than you can with shapes, and also unload it way faster. Essentially, you need less train "depots" for paint.... still need a crap ton of miners though 🤣 But, because of this, the space pipes can also supply more paint to platforms than you'd think, especially when pulled from a train unloader! But don't forget that less depots and faster unloading means you'll need more trains to keep up 🙃

I saw the flow of paint is very high, but good to know about moving it to other places. Haven't been that far yet but the scaling and copypaste of things only clicked for me like yesterday or so LOL Great game rigth? And this guy knows how to play doesn't he, he gave more that I thought to be honest, 'colour' me Impressed!!!

I literally just commented about the paint thing in the next video. Didn’t realize before but yah the paint just falls out of the unloaders.. 🤣 I thought all my blueprints were broken for awhile but turns out the game just is 😂😂😂 you’ll see what I’m talking about tomorrow 😆

@@Zahait Similar to the 1x1 stacker, I've been able to fit paint mixers into a 1x1 (24 mixers), but again... it's just awkward as heck to work with, so I stuck with the 1x2 so I could have 2 inputs on one side and the 2 outputs on the other. Enjoying watching your approach to the game! You definitely have taken more time to get things set up than I did, I basically blitzed through the game LOL!

@@JakeSimmer Paint is weird! Like, the flow rate of the space pipe is massive, but the little paint launchers are garbage! 😂 Since you can fit 4 launchers worth of paint through a single pipe, I often fail to remember that you have to account for that when trying to route paint with the launchers. 1 belt -> 1 launcher 1 pipe -> 4 launchers .... unless you don't NEED that much on the other side 😅

@Plystire I don’t know if you will enjoy my approach at the MAM but we will see 🤣

[@manelmv97]

hey zahait! will you have a new Oddspark series with train and logistics? i wish you do it! i really enjoyed it

[@Zahait]

I really want to check it out again. Just not much time atm. Also, trying to figure if I just want to spotlight it or start a new save entirely.

[@robinmaurer2645]

I second this

[@senbairac2638]

Looks like this is final new mechanic and probably the next one will be freeplay

[@Zahait]

How right you are! 😥 time to start a MAM

[@senbairac2638]

@@Zahait good luck :)

@senbairac2638 I’ll need it 🤣
