    Lore for Mechanicus and Seablocks:
    It's actually pretty easy considering the first Tyranid attack was on a waterworld. Just imagine you are stranded on Tyran because your ship was destroyied and you now have to try to rejoin with the Imperium. There are some few Tyranids left on isolated islands after the attack, so they aren't in synapse range and only have the animalistic urge to eat you. Since the water now is rich in alien bioforms you as a magos biologis can use this to build the rocket. There you go. lol🔥

      Well, but didn't the Tyranids suck the whole world dry from any biomass, as well as all the water, practically leaving only a lifeless, crumbly piece of rock sediment behind?
      So it would help if you were lucky enough to find yourself stranded on Tyran before they've devoured everything, however, you'd better hurry up building that rocket from basically nothing then.

      @@BlackoutGootraxian To be fair, the algorithm - and therefore audience - teaches them to do that. Long series do not do well in general; when people stop watching, depends on the channel and topic but often it's around the 10th episode in a series if not before and thorough seablock runs take a *lot* more than that, the natural conclusion is that most people aren't interested in it anymore. For channels that make content in the interest of having an audience - which frankly is almost all of them - it's hard to justify putting in the work for episode after episode if people aren't watching. I did a vanilla beginner tutorial series a while back which a good number of those who found it seemed to like, but it was still something that not many people watched overall. I'm glad I finished it, but also definitely understand why creators sometimes don't. Often they're just trying to listen to what the audience is telling them.

    after rewatching it while playing the mod myself, I find it interesting how different our playstyles are. While you prefer to only get pure ores from sorting, I liked to mix the crushed ores together to the green and orange mixture ores that can be turned into copper+tinn and iron+manganite since they don't yield sluge. The iron and manganite can be melted together to create molten iron, which basically turns all the crystalized ores for the green mixture into iron at a 1/1 ratio

    It looks like bean power has actually gotten easier since the last time I played. You used to have to send the beans through a press, filter vegetable oil, run it through a refinery, and get fuel oil. You also had to process the nutrient pulp byproduct into more fuel.

    • @mudkipmatt3793
      @mudkipmatt3793 Před 11 měsíci +17

      Every plant produces different amounts of Oil and Nutrient pulp, beans are on the nutrient pulp side, so its much more efficient to make beans into the pulp itself (which then requires only the one process to make fuel). the vegi oil process is mostly used to be able to have it's byproducts, which skips blue algae. When I played originally I got confused too since "oh this one says oil." I'm pretty sure this has been the way it was for a while, but its an easy thing to overlook.

Of course there are exceptions to this, but it ~feels~ to be generally true, sample size of rooughly 20~ teachers and lecturers over 4 years of studying engineering.

    In general I have learned to love the constant combinator. Put what you want in, go through a multiply by -1 and then bang everything together on one cable. Item < 0 then being the only required comparison on your inserters. And adding something is as easy as updating the constant combinator. If you go positive from the combinator and multiply stock by -1 you could even directly feed filter inserters.

    I'm going through pY at the moment and havent bothered with a general mall that produces buildings, instead it just does belts/pipes and then a bunch of intermediates and I craft the buildings by hand. It works there because you get logistic bots relatively "early" but damn, I should have done something similar to you.

    I was wondering when you would do bobangel, I did not expect seablock. Good stuff, Dosh
    edit: when I was playing some bobangel myself, I had a funny idea of not crafting e.g. iron plates right away, but rather keep the molten iron in pipes (I also used a mod that gives much more flexible pipes) and then smelt them into plates on the spot where I needed them, I wonder if you ever had an idea like that

    • @lmao_nope
      @lmao_nope Před rokem +13

      A pipe moves 1.2k fluid per second maximum, round it down to 1.1k since you probably don't want to spam pumps. One plate takes 10 molten metal units. With that in mind, a pipe moves ~110-120 plates per second if you do a pipe-heavy bus (I suggest underground pipes literally everywhere). That is significantly faster and (iirc) cheaper than early game belts at the cost of inability to balance your bus if you use multiple lanes per liquid, and lacking a clear visual representation of resource saturation. I'm sure there's more issues I just did not think of, but a molten metal bus is viable.
