I Lost My SANITY Building Biobricks in Techtonica!

- Today I may have lost my sanity while building my Biobrick production facility. I may have just slightly overengineered the factory in the pursuit of unattainable perfection....
We'll be figuring out Priority Mergers and Splitters in the process!
Techtonica is a first-person factory building game set beneath the surface of an alien planet. Work alone or in co-op to build factories, gather resources, research new technologies, mold the destructible terrain, establish a base of operations, and uncover long-forgotten secrets.

"i'm probably gonna over do it"
Lol, I apparently I knew myself too well before I even got started :)
Can’t you just use inserters for your priority system? Main input goes strsight from source to destination. Secondary feed is parallel to main, with inserters just filling any holes in the main feed line.
Yes, you are quite right, inserters are another method for accomplishing priority merging and overflow. If I had done that, I would of approached it somewhat differently. The issue currently in Techtonica, is that you can't fully saturate a belt with just inserters (sorta).
In some other similar games, the items on the belt can be sort of "shoved" to the side if there is room on the belt to squeeze in the item. However, Techtonica currently doesn't do this. I know the devs want to add it at some point. This means you can't fully saturate the belt.
Stack inserters do help minimize the issue, but I don't have Stack inserters at the moment.
That said, I also come from more of a Satisfactory background, so this felt more natural to me...and really look great at the end :)
It does look cool
I could watch you build in this game all day. Seriously I need more videos
Much appreciated PoliticalBatman! I'm working on it :)
Heh Heh Heh...
I did the same, it tanked my frame rates because I had everything on multiple floors. I was a total spaghetti fest in terms of inputs and outputs. Including a lot of spiralling belts carrying stuff between floors. Definitely not going to repeat that in my text run lawl.
I've love your video's, when are you coming back to this gave? And i'd love if you could share your save file, I'd really love to walk around and see you build's.
Yes, I'm working on it right now actually. Been a bit busy with other stuff until recently. So, hopefully I'll have something soon :P
Hey i have a question. What happens when putting items into terminal via conveyer?
It’s just an automated way to feed the terminal what it’s needs. It’s honestly easier to do it by hand.
I think keeping the tutorials light in content is probably a wiser move since things are bound to change and often. No point making some monster video covering every threshing setup that works now if some future update is going to make the whole thing moot. Keep them smallish so you can easily update and replace anything that changes along the way. I do think a load balancing video early on in your tutorial series would be smart based on all the gameplay I've seen on yt and twitch so far. Seems that concept (even amongst avid Satisfactory players) got lost somewhere along the way. Granted the massive spaghetti factory at Victor works well enough to plow through the game, but it feels almost brute force to me rather than enjoying the game.
I do appreciate the fact that you go the extra mile already. Both on here and discord. You're amazing, just saying.
Much appreciated Zachary!
Yea, the bus strategy really doss trivialize Techtonica a little bit. I did a similar bus back in the Alpha that was exactly like the bleacher bus used now. I called it the Waterfall bus back then. And the reason I didn't rush out and do it right off the bat, was because it is super easy.
I wanted this series to have some more interesting factories :)
fist viewing.. blimmin brilliant vid!. Thing is... I was under the influence and only took in half. Be assured I'll be watching this goilden nugget oi techtonica more times than my worthless skin deserves!.lol I have 12X12 moley and all I can see is all that space in the vid!.lol
Thank you very much Nestor! I appreciate it! Let me know if you end up having any questions. :)
I havent looked at any videos yet, found out you're the mastermind behind the factories in the trailers from one on the fire hose dev videos. I plan on watching youre videos as soon i have sometime hopefully i can learn some good stuff.
Great to hear! Been busy myself recently but I have more stuff I’m working on :)
We're looking forward to see more content from you @@relyengaming.
Take care
This is so satisfying after seeing so many playthru vids where people basically refused to let assemblers build belts/inserters/ect for them. I know this game is new but it's just nice to see someone get what the game wants them to do
I'll have move coming soon, I've had to rebuild my studio a bit :P
In regards to the tutorial video about the threshers. I think it's better to have everything together and chaptered out so that way all people need to look up is the Bio Brick Build, instead of having to sort through a bunch of smaller videos.
Yea, I can see the benefit of that. Although, I'm curious if I make a video about threshing and it's so long it scares people :P Gotta find the right balance.
I like having a bunch of extra seeds in my planter systems, since they give of a bunch of natural light.
I did not realize the seeds give off light, I'll have to play with that! My load balance build has it's origins in the alpha, where there was a VERY limited amount of seeds. So, I habitually try to be efficient with my seed usage...even if it isn't quite as necessary in the Early Access version of the game.
Were the ratios different? Because at least now it is 120 second per crop => 2 crops per minute with one planter => 5 planters = 10 per minute so 1 tresher
That priority line reminds me my early satisfactory storage setups before they added overflow system. However, in Techtonica you can use inserters, as they can not place items on the belt if it is full.
So I simply make 2 parallel bets, and put inserters in between. The one they insert to is the priority line, if it's full they won't be able to insert anything.
You can also do it with storage containers, just add container down the line and it will fill up the belt without staggering machines.
Very true, there are a few ways to do it. The issue with the inserter method (currently) is that they can't "push" items on the belts to fit things in where there is room. So, small gaps between items will remain unfilled on a partially full belt. The devs do plan on fixing this at some point. So you'll need to use some merger to maximize a belt with this method. So, for this factory at least, I decided to go with my belting version. Which is slightly more complicated than the inserter version, but doesn't have the "fill the belt" problem. That said, I didn't realize how many I was going to be building when I started :P
@@relyengaming You are right, I noticed those gaps too. Luckly, with stack insterters it is way better, hardly see any gaps on mk2 belts.
As for your project, I was "Wow, that's a fancy way of building priority merger! It takes a lot of clicks to build, but for just 2 lines it's fine". 15 min later "This guy is a madman. He will need a break after this one" So now I understand why there were no let's play videos for a while;)
@@adalerk Haha, yes. This one ended up taking longer than I originally figured. So I did the ramp guide in the interim and then finished up the mental gymnastics required for this build. :P
I was tempted to try and break it up into 2 videos :P But if I start doing stuff like that, I need to make sure each video has a point.
If your trying to help people by showing them how you did something in a game you should try to slow down your camera so it’s easier for people to focus on what your doing
Have you played Foundry?
I did pick it up last year before they took it down, I've played it some :)
Use baloon light its better
Very true! Not sure why I didn't at the time, I think I didn't have any frames and couldn't be bothered to make them :P
looking forward to see what you can do with the new building bits in 0.2
I would love for the chapter based tutorial video with different setups
Awesome video. Awesome belt setup. Did I learn anything? I learned I don't have even 1/20th of your talent for this game. I'm struggling with these threshers, but it's also my first time working with them. And... I started a new factory after watching your "tips" video and of course, I have made spaghetti again. Yeah, it's a complete mess. Keep the videos coming I am learning something it's just the incorporating part that's the problem.🤣🙏👍
Nothing wrong with some spaghetti factory work. I made plenty of spaghetti learning various aspects of the game (and still do!). This factory was definitely a little bit of over-engineering! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
I'll do something more on Threshers in the future, but you'll probably have it down by then :)
Taking on an insane project? Check. Lost sanity? Check. Making devs named Andreii angry by abusing their game in unintended ways like placing a core manually? Check. Googly eyes? Check. You might be inspired by Josh.
Gonna need a new bucket list soon :)
I just found your channel, because I was looking for inspiration for my own Techtonica playthrough... I have been going over your initial video from the Alpha playthrough you did and your designs and decorations are top notch, given how limited we are on the available construction blocks... I also found another YTer had ripped off one of your designs and not given you credit, so I have called him on it... I hope that you get credit from him. (Not going to name name's, but I have given him and his viewers a link to your bleacher bus design video that proves you had the idea first). I really dislike when someone has an idea, and then someone else pawns it off as their own.... Anyway, I am really enjoying catching up on your videos - trying to resist the urge to watch the newest releases and just watch in order so I can see everything that happened from the beginning and how you managed to develop your ideas etc. Really nice work! 😍😍
Edit: - I haven't watched this video yet - just dropped this comment on here, in case you don't see comments on your older videos... 😉😉
Much appreciated! As for the "bleacher"/"waterfall" bus, it's true I did it a year ago in the alpha. But I only blame myself for not putting a video out sooner about it :P
Is the studio ready? :p
Would love to see more new videos!
Great designs. Definitely going to try out the balancer and I love the multilayer decks and underground belts. Nilaus was showing the underground belts as well. I’ve been enjoying this game a lot. It’s bigger scale than factorio but not so massive as Satisfactory. Both are great though. Going to be fun to see how Techtonica develops over time.
Thanks cerberes! A sandwich floor is a great way to hide the mess or provide more room for organization. :) We're still just on the tip of the iceberg for Techtonica, we don't yet truly know how deep it will go :)
Hey Reylen! You might remember me, I’ve been here since the start. I’ve had a break off satisfactory but I restarted not too long ago, and I’ve just rediscovered your channel. If you see this, I hope you are doing well and I love your content.
Welcome back, been on a bit of a break myself. But I’m trying to put some content together again. So, hopefully I’ll be back in the saddle soonish.
Cool video
Thanks Eti91!
This goes way over my head, I have no idea what any of those belts do hahaha. You did... something!
Me neither Critcal....me neither :)
Where did you go?!
Life got a little busy but I’m trying to work on some content now. Maybe I’ll be back for when 0.5 goes live.
@@relyengaming So good to hear from you. I really enjoy your content and I pray everything goes great for you. Thanks for taking the time to let me know.
i really hope they add elevators to the game. it would make verticality a lot more accessible, IMO. that or a coil-belt template thingy... :) thanks for your great vids.
I believe there are plans to add some form of conveyor lift/elevator. I'm just not sure when :)
yes would like it in all videos with chapters sounds like an ace video
At this point I'm waiting to see what the changes are with the recipe rebalancing :)
@@relyengaming this game is one of those where although i’ve finished playing due to completing it videos are still interesting and i love watching other people play/explain.
@@maxrichardson5252Yea I understand that, some interesting updates coming in 0.1.1, but I'm definitely looking forward to 0.1.2 when they add more base building :) Lauren (one of the community managers) even called me out on stream and said she thinks I'll love what's coming :)
@@relyengaming that’s lovely that the devs are involving you in their journey! I love the game and will definitely do re runs and challenge runs when i’ve left some time to forget some of stuff so i can relive the excitement of setting up the worst spaghetti belts ever
@@maxrichardson5252Haha, when I'm not spending a stupid number of hours trying to make it look good. My belts are full of serious spaghetti :P
Not gonna lie, I just started playing and LOVE your content. Definitely gained a long term subscriber
I'll have move coming soon, I've had to rebuild my studio a bit :P Gotta get some stuff done before 0.1.2 :P
Stream? 😊
A little later today on RUclips, I usually stream at 5pm EDT, although I might start an hour or two early today.
And change of plans, my power got knocked out and am waiting for it to be restored 😓
@@relyengaming oh hell I was waiting the whole evening hah, anyway, take care, ones condition is 1st place importance 😊
@@piscopancer hah, sorry about that. That said, power just came back on. I'm going to give it a few before I fire up stream though, just in case it goes back out again. As they might still be working on it :P
What is the issue with using storage Containers? Also imagine if there was a way to save blueprints of your belt systems and just plop them wherever.
Nothing wrong with Storage Containers, just a habit of mine from Satisfactory to not use them in production lines unless I need them :) That said, I won't be able to avoid them much longer....
Still waiting for the planters guide 🥲
