It’s called a manifold and is very useful.

Great suggestion! Thanks for contributing.

Manifolds are easy.

All the QoL features added in 1.0 were amazing. I think there's a mod that'll automatically remove this fighting...I wonder why they didn't include something officially.

Yeah, now that I got them unlocked I think that's how I'll handle it. Maybe do some uplighting.

Good idea! I need to blueprint MORE!

How'd you like it? Worth a full episode? Should I mix decorating with more advancement?

@@BEDplaysGAMES It couldn't have come at a better time for me honestly, I've been feeling uninspired and not been able to get much done in my game, so it was awesome to see you going to work and having fun with the building process. The 50 minutes flew by! As long as you're having fun in the game, the contents or structure of the episode doesn't matter to me in the slightest. Hope that helps :)

I love it! In my college dorm room a bunch of us had xboxs and when Halo 2 came out we played for ages. A massive LAN party all the time.

I'll accept that challenge! I should get to nuclear in about 9-12 months at my current pace.

@@BEDplaysGAMES and then it’ll be an additional 9-12 months for all the nuclear generators to run on the manifold system

Nope, it'll work! Because at no single point does any pipe need to pass more than 300 cubic meters of water per minute. It wouldn't work if you combined all 3 extractors in a single spot, but having 2 feed opposite ends you can put the third input anywhere.

Exactly! I knew when I thought of the video that was going to be the song.

Yes, I saw you got it later. But that was too funny!

HA! That's misleading, sorry. I definitely filmed the intro bit hours after the next scene. So it seems to reappear.

I'm trying! I actually missed Monday's episode. I'm not sure I can do 3 eps per week, because they're running long again. And if I make them shorter...it's hard to title or thumbnail them because I feel like I didn't do anything.

Thanks, Farty!

I agree. And I usually have great audio recently. I swear it wasn't like this when I first uploaded it. Maybe it's a shorts compression thing? Anyway, sorry about that, it's driving me nuts that my shorts sound different now.

You're so welcome!

That sounds like a good time.

@@BEDplaysGAMES you can try it in a test world, I think everybody should have a test world with cheats to test stuff

Always. Build. Taller.

I hope so, too! I use foundations as walls most of the time because of this. Concrete walls are so bland and boring. Do you know about coloring foundations? In case you don't, check this out: ruclips.net/user/shortsSxrjY9T1gC0 There's a color version as well, you can make all kinds of awesome and beautiful colors with foundations that are actually vibrant. Sadly it doesn't work on concrete walls either.

I don't worry about that. Almost nobody hits it, and if you do, you can just raise it and still play, most of the time. I hit it on purpose once, it's an impossibly large amount of items.

Done! I don't know why they keep getting unsorted. You're the second person to let me know, and I fixed it after the first person told me! I hope this time it keeps.

@@BEDplaysGAMES Thank you

Thanks so much! I was working on it for weeks before 1.0 released. It grew to be too long so I only include in every few episodes.

@@BEDplaysGAMES it was the reason I subscribed so I would say your work was worth it.

That's a good idea. Do you pre-run internal belts in them?

@@BEDplaysGAMES of course, saves the tricky part

I can't remember what I was trying to do in testing that made me just stop trying to put mergers in. Of course you can fit one or two inside and use it. I think I was trying to do too much at once.

What can I say? You inspire me.

You're welcome!

Yeah, that was supposed to be the takeaway. 1m look different enough to 4m that if you consider their use instead of 4m you double your cosmetic options.

I've toyed with sandwich layers before. I've landed on wanting to feature the belts instead of hiding them away. I'm just not sure how to do that.

So I've been told. I'm scared.

Maybe one day. This was my first ever megastructure on a much older save.

I'm excited for it, too. I'm still avoiding looking at any of the beta releases for the new SF+ stuff. I want to go in fresh again.

Me either!

I don't know what that means. Like the type of rock? Love you, doc!

@@BEDplaysGAMES yes, look at natural formations of it

¡De nada!

If you have power, sure!

I love your tip! If you enter dismantle mode, press R to switch to deleting entire blueprints, you can even middle click to sample blueprints.

@BEDplaysGAMES yes and if you select a blueprint and press R it allows better snapping with your blueprints

@@MrBauerkyle it does?! I’ll go try it. I have lots of issues with blueprints and don’t know how to snap them together. It’s mostly just inexperience because I don’t use them as much as I should.

JJ! Whyyyy?! Of course I'm the only human on the planet and I'm not even the best chef.

Do you have to be the only human? I heard ADA say you were, if I remember correctly, one of 3 to survive planet fall in your sector! You could also invite some of your besties to hang out...

I hate hate hate the second tower and the arms. But I'm with you, I love the big single tower. Maybe I should...grow it. Put all the factories inside of it. I do like the smaller factories scattered around it though. I'm torn.

@@BEDplaysGAMES Decision making is the true final boss of this game!

Wow, cheers! Thanks for the very nice comment and kind words. I'm happy I got you decorating more. Are those metallic skins colorable? I was excited to buy them but then didn't play with them much.

​@@BEDplaysGAMES I don't think they were, didn't notice myself. Such a letdown :(

I *will* be better soon. I hope.

I think I was, because I was able to delete them one by one after trying. I'll try again.

@@BEDplaysGAMES your right I think. I missed that.

Someone else called them Junction Boxes and that makes more sense. It's a callback joke to this short I recently did: ruclips.net/user/shortsTB91Qsxu5cU But really, fart box is just an innuendo/childish joke, because the first person I saw use these goes by "farty" online.

​@@BEDplaysGAMES 😊

Making them compact also a lot of work :) using the right order and right way to connect and later realise FUCK opposite way was need.... here I go again :)

Do you have a pattern that works easily? Maybe I should just try it. I'm probably overthinking it.

​@@BEDplaysGAMESMoo just made a video how to make compact elevators and BP them, god why I didn't think to BP them :/

Thanks! I made myself lol, too.

Yeah! It has to go, lol

Thanks, Farty!

Great idea!

I like options!

Oh yeah. I'll remember that one day. It's only temporary! :D

@@BEDplaysGAMES Hmmmmm, I seem to recall a SF+ factory with some "temporary" belt spaghetti 😀

You're not alone voicing that concern. I'm not worried about it. How do you know it's heavier to render? It'd be cool to know the math for stuff like that. And I'd love to see the uobject count for the items. Is it possible that 1m walls only require 1/4 the rendering of 4m walls, making them the same? I don't know anything about stuff like that, but I'd like to know.

@@BEDplaysGAMES basically every object is rendered on its own. things like walls, foundations and all the machinery are dynamically loaded and rendered every time you get near a new area. Then, every time you look around you all those objects that fall outside of your field of view are unloaded again. This basically keeps going all the time. All those objects in the world, they all have individual lighting (and thus shadow) and shader calculations that happen every time they get loaded in and every time lighting conditions in the game change, for example, whenever the sun changes its position. When you use 1m walls instead of the normal 4m walls it means all those lighting, shadow and shader calculations have to be done atleast 4 times more often. I say atleast because if other objects cast a shadow on your walls, for example, that only adds to the amount of calculations that need to be done. Now a lot here can be optimized, i believe connecting objects like walls and foundations are actually rendered as one big project once they've all been loaded, it didn't use to be like that way back but that got fixed, however, calculating which objects belong to the bigger meshes also takes cpu time, so its only really a shift from your gpu to the cpu. Then there also the object cap, which is insanely high and almost impossible to hit on unreal engine 5. But people had serious issues with that on unreal engine 4 tho, there were people that were unable to keep playing the game because the game engine (URE4) was at its limits by the amount of objects to keep track of.
