I thought I would be clever and recycle the Dark Fog drops in my BABs into prototype drones in a small factory right next to the BABs, that I would then feed back into the BABs on a shared belt, with sorters loading the drones into the BABs.

Since the amount of drops I'm getting early game are still pretty low, what I wanted to do was restrict each BAB to a single slot full of drones so that when one BAB got full, newly minted drones would flow into the next BAB, and then so on. I designated one input slot to drones with a filter on each BAB and then let the belt run.

What actually happens is the first BAB sucks up all the drones until its slot is full, then further drones get put into its regular inventory. I tried setting all the blue slots in the BAB except for the one drone slot to another item that will never show up (jammer capsules) but this failed the same way.

I feel like there must be an easy solution here that I'm missing somehow. Is there a way to do this?

For what it's worth, I do have a solution to the problem right now but it's really clumsy: I use a series of splitters on the belt to feed the drones since the splitters "remember" which path the previous drone took, and so the splitter sends the drones equally to every base.

I had know you could put accumulators into the mech to power it, but figured that was just a very expensive way of powering it. I didn’t know you get the empties back! Recharge them again! Set up a wireless charger and some drones and the process is almost automatic.

If you didn’t know ether, here you go.

Hello everyone !

Since I use laboratories to make research with matrix I don't find how to make "normal material" research anymore.

Can someone help me please ?

It says I don't have the right material.

Hello, i unlocked the stacker and the ILS. Is it worth to use the stackers on the ILS? Like take 4 inputs from the ILS and merge all of them in one belt using stackers. I know you can upgrade the ILS so its stacks on itself but until then it is long way.

Should i do this and waste some space or dont and wait until i get the ILS upgrade?

I have everything. My white science is pouring in, and my sphere is humming along at 100GW (those are rookie numbers, I know).

I've got VU pretty high, but keeping thinking there must be some other tech I should be researching as well. Maybe logistics speed? Is anything else going to give me any benefit besides just the highest levels of VU?

Hi guys

I've been playing this game years ago, way before the dark fog rising and honestly... nope'd as soon as they arrived.

But i wanna try it again, without the dark fog, the thing is, i need to refresh my skills, is there some youtube channel with a good guide for a returning player? one that isn't focused on fighting the dark fog, though

I'm trying to conceptualize a planet size blueprint for white science where I can just pop it down and leave, and it builds itself over time via BABs and bots as buildings get delivered from another planet. But I can't see any way to insert bots, etc into towers without needing to be there and having them in my inventory. Is there any way to pull this off?

I’ve been trying to figure out how to rebind E (open inventory) and close tabs (also E) to tab. It’s just the way I like to play. I didn’t see it in keybinds is it renamed something different? There’s a ton of binds so I’m assuming It’s just named something weird lol

how did I not know this

What are your ways of staying motivated midgame? Early game is easy because all the goals are simple and achievable within a few hours with little planning,

And late game is almost like creative mode

But midgame? Or at least before you unlock planetary and interplanetary logistics? Its such a grind on the brain of keeping motivated that ive only ever gotten late game and completed the mission

So what do you do to stay motivated and focused on your goals? Any tips would be greatly appreciated

Im producing a massive quantity of solar sails and i have purple search and I’m producing all hash in high quantities, but I’m mining the most of resources in my solar system, and i know in others solar systems have resources to make the parts of dyson sphere more easily and I didn’t have the warp production, i should start producing them the warps and go to another system or I reorganize my actual production system and mining?

I want to be the extreme by building a full dyson sphere around every star in a full 64 star game. Is this a bad idea? Has this been attempted before? I don't know, but I will do it. Update in a month.
