Time for basics of using the dimensional depot. - There is no limit on how many different items you can upload into the depot, only the max number of stacks of any one item. - It's a good idea to upload everything into the depot. This way you have access to everything you have obtained anywhere on the map. - Ammo, fuel, and resources you need for research in the MAM or for completing milestones in the HUB require you to manually pull the required items from the depot into your inventory. - Building and crafting automatically pulls items from the depot if you do not have the required items in your inventory. - Make sure the checkbox for "Take from inventory before Depot" remains checked on your inventory screen. - It is best to have one depot input per item if you choose to automate uploading. The input of the depot has a buffer that will fill up if you already have max stacks uploaded. This will prevent other items from uploading until the buffer is cleared if you have an attached container that holds more than one type of item.
I don't fully understand why you can use for example concrete straight from this depot but not ammo? What I want to do is really explore and find as many sphere's as I can (and disks and other items) - maybe I can make the car, is that a good explore vehicle? Thank you so much for your explanation 🌹 Much love from grandma Wendy 💖
@@GramGrendy I'm sure the devs didn't want you to be able to reload from the depot for balance reasons. If they had allowed it then you could setup a manufacture to pump rebar into the depot for infinite ammo. If by car you mean The Explorer that you can unlock via the MAM, it's a nice small and fast thing. A little less stable than the tractor sugar cube but tends to try and correct itself. The truck that you will unlock in future HUB tiers is the most stable. Here is something to consider while exploring. While driving is safer, you cannot use the scanner to locate Mercer Spheres and Somersloops. One last thing I forgot about vehicles. Hatchers will still open and the firefly bug thins will still fly towards you. The cannot hurt you, but it can be an issue if you run out of fuel while next to a bunch of them.
@@GramGrendy Ammo can be used directly from the cloud, but only for crafting, eg when the basic rebar is used for crafting other types of rebar ammo. for fighting, you need to select which weapon and which ammo you use (select weapon with mouse wheel, select ammo by holding R, reload same ammo by tapping R, or since 1.0 also by leftclick). automatic and unlimited ammo would be too easy. then they maybe would also have to eliminate any use of ammo entirely to remove the last "annoyance" of having to craft it. but i agree on some things where the cloud is badly accessed : it is NOT accessed automatically for research in the MAM, but it IS automatically accessed for opening wrecks (without showing first which items are spent automatically and giving an option to not spend them), and it IS always accessed for handcrafting with no option to disable that. the only option is whether to prefer inventory or cloud, but always including the cloud for the list of what can be handcrafted (i always get a long long list of almost all items that are in the game since i can handcraft them when using my cloud, and i often craft too much when i only want to use up what i have in my inventory)
Consumables do not get directly taken from the dimensional depot, but normal building materials do, so you don't have to pull concrete out of the dimensional depot to use it. Have a dimensional depot attached to your concrete storage, and it'll automatically upload concrete whenever you use some. Do this for every item you produce. You'll end up with automatically refilling materials and a clean inventory. I recommend you rush the manual uploader from your inventory : )
The dimensional depot will store “n” stacks of any/every resource you wish. (Where n=1 initially, but with upgrades can get to 5). Upload speed also increases with upgrades.
I really need to explore as I can see how important those sphere's (and disks and so on) are and I don't have many. Because like you say, if I connect a dimensional depot to the containers I eventually will be able to pull many/all the items I have and can do anything anywhere. And absolutely, It will be amazing if I can upload my items home to be able to collect loads of materials while exploring! Thank you so much for your help/advice 🌹 Much love from grandma Wendy 💖
@@dinosaurbob3913 yes, and i consider upload speed to be more important than the number of stacks. maybe have a second stack available in the cloud since that upgrade is cheap (only 3 spheres), but "upload from inventory" is most important (and also cheap), and upload speed up to maybe 120 might be very useful next. if you want to cheaply double upload speed for a specific item type, you can simply build a second uploader for that type (costs 1 sphere instead of up to 23 in the MAM). except when using with big blueprints that require eg 2500 wires at once, you rarely will need the max of 5 stacks in the cloud. when i built dozens of power storages with a blueprint, i only had 2 stacks enabled, but speed 120 and 6 uploaders, for an effective upload speed of 720 wires/min :-)
I will spent more time exploring as these sphere's seem a lot more important then I could have guessed. The fact that I could upload my items in a container at home is amazing and a bit quicker uploading can't hurt either when you are building - as you just said with your blueprint building 😄 Much love from grandma Wendy 💖
Well, that was a sure thorough tour of the improved factory. Great to see how you're rearranging things and improving the efficiency of the overall productions. With the dimensional disposer thingy, I think you don't need to take items out of it to use them, only things like food or ammo needs to be taken out, building materials can be used without being in your inventory. Also, you should see if you can get another vehicle or start that amusement park next time 👀 hehe Much love, Quack 💜
You are absolutely right so I now have put a spare stack of ammo in just in case I run out mid fight and the rest is ready to build with materials. And you should see my base now, I "worked" very hard and think I like how I did it now! I am even a bit proud of myself 😊 😄 Much love from grandma Wendy 💖
@@GramGrendy you can also drag items from the cloud on top of a partial stack in the inventory to refill that partial stack up to the max. you rarely will use up an entire stack of eg rebars while fighting a single fight, and between fights can refill that single ammo stack in the inventory. btw: you can also shift-leftclick on an item type in the cloud to get one stack of that item type to your inventory.
the depot doesnt work for ammo or consumables, but if you fill it up with building materials, you can craft and build directly from the depot, and you can have machines keeping them topped up. feed them with iron plates, rods, wire and concrete and you can build most things without running out of materials. the more spheres, the more materials you can have uploading all the time
To clarify… the depot does indeed let you store ammo and other consumables (gas filters, jetpack fuel), but the game will not automatically pull from dimensional storage if your inventory runs out. You would need to manually drag a stack from dimensional to physical inventory .
Thank you both so very much 🌹 I did not know how it worked and therefor I thought to try it out with ammo - even though you can't use it directly from the depot you can always have it topped up. Isn't it strange that you can't use it directly but you can do concrete for example? I really have to go round and open the map while looking for sphere's and so on. Much love from grandma Wendy 💖
To see recipes without building machines, press O and select 'parts'. this also groups recipes by what they produce. The dimensional depot is designed to be fed by the factory (by its conveyor connector rather than manually I have been putting my dimensional depot uploaders on top of my storage containers and then running belt lifts between them. The build gun can take things directly from the dimensional depot, for anything else you have to manually move them to your inventory first. I find the take from inventory before depot option good. I think you would enjoy a factory in the titan forest (to your south-east). There you have to build around the trees, because they are so big you can't chop them down. My usual comment about ratios applies. One smelter can supply 2.4 iron wire assemblers
A small reinforced plate factory that makes iron plates and iron wire from iron ingots, then combines them to make stitched plates should be a fun mini-project. Another would be to make iron pipe and then feed iron pipe and reinforced plates into assembler to make modular frames
I have been "working" hard today to get everything a bit more the way I want and I made a few new setups. You were absolutely right, iron wire is already a very handy recipe to have! I honestly can't remember if I have the iron pipe recipe... I can imagine you need a lot of pipe too for various recipes later on so if you can make those pipes (just like the iron wire) from other materials you are not so tied to only your steel factory. Thank you so much for for your help/advice 🌹 Much love from grandma Wendy 💖
There are over 300 spheres on the map. Finishing all the research consumes 97 of them. That still leaves over 200 dimensional storage units possible! (Eventually, you may want multiple depots uploading a single resource like concrete. This is a cheap way to increase upload speed (but doesn’t affect number of stacks)
@@GramGrendy There is an Achievment for 150 Spheres but after that it stops counting, there is sadly no way to look at your total number if you used some of them to research or build depots. But if you want to find them I can recommend the Object-Scanner it has a 250m range around you and shows you the direction and an indicator for how far away the Sphere is. If you don't have it already it's craftable in the Equipment Workshop.
Thank you so much xNihiliusx! 🌹 I did craft it and I don't know why but I always forget I have it while Exploring... I asked because it would be so amazing if you can see how many there are still left, just a fun thing to know 😄 Much love from grandma Wendy 💖
