Can't remember the name of it, but that thing you put the shard bar in, you should move it farther along the pipes as it's literally useless where it is. It increases the pressure in the pipes after "this thing" to be equal to the pressure from the actual pump itself (with the same pressure drop off as you get farther from it), but where it is now it's just giving you one extra pipe before the pressure runs out. I don't know if I explained that well but it's also better to put "that thing" and/or the shut off valve closer to your setup so you don't have to go as far to shut it off.

@kaishenlong0502

You explained it pretty well. You lose pressure for each pipe, and the Pressure Tank boosts the pressure back up to input pressure. And EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON. puts the pressure tank right on the input, making it useless.

i love how matt never thinks of installing the boosters close to the machines i mean, that is the point of the booster - to get back to the original pressure from the intake

another way to do the Hardstone blocks is put them all in a bucket 👍 put all the resources in it, drop it in the chest to construct the shop, all the left over resources stay conveniently in the bucket for the next build 😉

8:01 u need to put a logic keypad on the hardstone machine and set it to the weight u want!

A tip for more efficiency: put the lava pipe booster closer to the harvester and the drills

The thing I miss most about the old Hydroneer game, was the digger that actually discharged rocks. I had a whole strip mining operation set up with belts I could discharge onto that would take care of the final processing. Now all the machines to remove dirt/snow, outright destroy it completely. It has me left wondering what the point of the pits are even for now?

Day 61 of notifying people that the Discord server's Suggestions forum is a better place to suggest new games to Matt. (Just don't ping him!)

To automate water production, output drills on to conveyers and separate ice to go in the melter and let the rock go to harvester for mats. Kickstart the system by dropping ice in to the melter and it should go from there. You can also back your truck on to the buy pads and put materials directly in the truck before buying. Just make sure to buy before driving away 🙃

I am loving watching this series!!!! Thank you so much for playing this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!

matt you should do a mega edit of bridge reviews

you can put all the hardstone blocks to a bucket along the other resourses and put it all in

0:49 "think like an engineer" I wonder what the angle of repose for snow is

I must say I do like the added complexity of Volcalidus, even tho melting ice for water is abit weird since you have literal rivers of flowing water on the map and youre surrounded by water lol. I am a huge fan of the heavy machines and the stuff involved in setting them up. But i'm not as much a fan of the forge marks... feels like the dev tried to artificially lengthen the playtime with that, cus it took me some hours to get my first (and only) perfect one. Yes theyre entirely optional and I could have finished the game without them like 10 hours earlier, but you know how it is....

Sounded like 'One Night In Bangkok' by Murray Head during the bridge review. 😂

You can put the items into a bucket, as the items inside the bucket become no-collideable (things go through) so you can easily stack as many items as you want in the bucket. Then just drop the bucket into the box.

I think you should...haha bet you get tired of those. Keep doing you, man! Thanks for the hours of fun! Your story is an inspiration as well

I love this channel. It brings me so much joy 😊

Love your game series!

For the hand sorters, if you put a funnel directly next to the output. The material will clip thru it and go down into the crucible

This is getting funnier😂

Rce please read the description for the shard chamber thing it might only be In the shop or when you hold it

Use an up ramp conveyor to catch each the sorted chunks from each sorter, then you can have the up ramp drop it directly into the smelter.

@realcivilengineer 7:54 you can Put a numberpad on the compressor and can Set it to a weight (sorry for my Bad /Broken english)

the booster thing does nothing when placed beside the pump piece, you have to put it closer to the machines to negate the long stretches of pipe which minues 2.5% all the shard booster does is return the pressure to the same pressure of the actual pump... so if you put it by your machines its like they are connected to the pump without 20 pipes in the way all taking off 2.5% each

Best series EVER!

Hey…. @RCE. I haven’t played the DLC yet so I don’t know if there are wagons…. But you can stack stuff infinitely in wagons and bulk buy.

13:18, Will he ever learn that it only restores the pressure to the same as the inlet?

use the one near the starting town as it has the closest proximity to all settlements and the path up to the forge.

Tip for shopping in this game. Cart disable colision of items, so you can first load it with items you need just with spaming E and then move cart to buying place to purchase all of it. Also you carts can be put on the back of you truck (which also disable cart's colision, so you don't lose space) and driven to your desired place. It's especially usefull with conveyor belts and pipes, but you save so much time even with smaller items.

@dezenterrier

Ай бұрын

Also, since pans are laughably cheap and they also disable colision of small objects that are in them, it's good idea to buy a hell amount of them and put them under items outputs, like under hardstrone brick or sorter. That way you can store as much items in the pan as you want and also move them all at once. You may not have that problem with your PC but that helps with frame rate a lot too.

TIP: You can change the colour of the dropdown circle in the settings so you dont miss the fueltank again!

use a keypad on the hardstone block machine too change the brick value

Matt: "I've spent so long in this DLC and I have nothing to show for it!" That tends to happen when you do everything in the slowest and least efficient way possible.

lol I'm the same way. I put in a few hours into satisfactory. I got to the point where I needed to recreate a whole new system of early game stuff just to feed the later game stuff and I said to myself "what's the point?" and it stopped being fun for me. I think that's why I love watching others doing it in these videos because it means I wouldn't have to be the one doing it.

These “ethical” bridge reviews have me questioning the integrity of the bridge review process. Really shines a light on the shady business of the bridge review.

So if depth affects the size of the resources how far up can you put snow and machines? What would happen if you tried to build a mine in the sky on a hand made platform?

for the hardstone blocks you already made, you can put them in a bucket and drop them all at once to fit

Hope Matt looks into how the machines work a bit so he stops burning those energy crystals and can compact the stone

Matt is an engineer and doesn't like plumbing, it makes sense when you're an engineer you just make some lines in a blueprint and there's your tubing, but to actually do it IRL (or a game) it takes some real work.

Fun fact for anyone who needs to "build" using the shovel: if you dig and then place the dirt or ice back down, it places twice as much as you dug up.

yes move digging site use explosives clean up xD

You can change the color of the dot where things actually drop so you're less likely to drop things in the wrong place

Get in! Love your videos Matt!

You can click to change the weight you want the bricks to come out of the machine at. So for example you can put 500 weight and throw all the bricks back into the machine, and it won’t spit one out until it’s at the weight specified.
