Don't bother sending your hydrogen production belt back into the oil cracking refineries, just add an input sorter right after the output sorter. Each cycle uses 2 H and produces 3, meaning it will take 2 back and send one. Until it's full and then it's almost all profit. Another tip: don't bother setting filters in your output sorters, just send everything down the same belt (one regular belt should be enough for about 3 or 4 machines) and filter it down the line using a splitter.

Also, ctrl+clicking on an item while having inventory closed will transfer the item to the mouse pointer.

This is very useful when you leave your starter planet for the titanium planet for the first time. You can bring tens of thousands of titanium home in one trip.

Here's an issue that came up last night. Fairly early game (graphite in thermals as my main source of base power) I had decided to tap all my home planet oil wells to a main equatorial bus. I thought I had generated enough power for this, but quickly found I was way oversubscribed. Turns out the long-distance poles actually take 90kW each, even when idle. This means when I was using around 30 of them I was using a significant amount of power, for nothing. I had to fly around and replace them all with multiple normal power poles. Lesson: Don't use the long-distance poles, for mass collection, before you get your other power sources up such as hydrogen thermal or your dyson swarm.

I'm a bit late with my comment, but I found a way how you can use the energy exchanger as a giant accumulator. It's not obvious because by default, an energy exchanger set to discharge will always discharge with maximum power, 45 MW that is even if you are producing power at a surplus. So you won't have the energy available when you really need whenever you have a deficit. The solution is to build a loop with two exchangers set to "charge" and one set to "discharge" with buffer chests in between them in both directions if the loop. Because the charging exchanger will offset the constantly discharging one. Now if you have a spike in power consumption and you need power, the exchangers which are charging will stop doing so, taking power out of the system. Once you're overproducing power again, the two chargers will charge faster than the one discharger thus recharging your accumulator.

Ill give that a go... So far every attempt of making a battery box has failed

does anyone know how to change the research queue?

I seen this wrong idea in a bunch of streans. People, you dont need sorters to fill up or empty your storage boxes. Build the box on top of a splitter, splitter will put items into box if there are no room on outgoing belts and will pull items out of the box if there no items on incoming belt. Bels will always have a priority, but the box will take any overflow. Limit the box so no overproduce items.

an advanced tip for belts that i just found out myself today you know when youre trying to put a belt at a certain height and it just wont bloody clip into place always saying errors and giving you frustration well you can say place a little piece on the ground further down and start your elevated belt in the air till you hit the little piece and BOOM it magically clicks in place with a nice elevated curvature that you just wanted easy peasy just mind you dont hit structures on the way :) oh and it will automaticly adjust to the height of the piece you placed down be it flat ground or max elevation :) aww and i totally forgot that really usefull tip too please do stack the science labs as soon as possible to max height you save soo much space and can use science towers to crank up production ( alot ) and it uses so little space :)

@@DocHogan work was so heav last week that i barely got 15 hours together which got me to start yellow cubes only - dyson swarm feels like a ressource-waste so i am gonne skip that and focus on the sphere. i really hope they gonne add planetary-orbital rings for additional building-space on a planet

A few things I would say. 1: storage is a waste of time and effort in most situations, but matrix cubes is a major exception. I would always funnel my matrix cubes into storage and then out again to use them, so that I have them buffered and don't waste production. It is extremely easy to produce research labs, compared to the difficulty of producing advanced matrix cubes, and your need is by no means constant. 2: if you feel lost, try to build the next matrix cube. I felt that a lot of the time, I was kind of aimless. I could build hundreds of things, but none of them seemed needed. The way I found to give structure to those production lines is just to try to build matrix cubes, which are fundamentally the win condition and motivates all your other advanced production. 3: early on, I feel it's silly to work on maximizing belts. Belts are an incredibly arbitrary and flexible unit of production. Focus instead on matching smelters to mines, to keep the mines running. Drop your miner, think "okay, that's 4 smelters worth of iron", so build your production around that. There is no need or reason to fill a belt, when you could instead match production to your mines. 4: do not build giant busses. this is silly. The reality is that there is a huge number of low end resources and each production chain does something completely different. There is no need to push tons of circuits past your electric motor factory. Electric motors don't need circuits. electromagnetic turbines don't. Supermagnetic rings don't. There is just no reason to build centralized buses in this game. It adds confusion, wastes space time and resources, and the end result is that a lot of resources just will never be needed elsewhere. If you need to join lines together, do it when and if you actually need to. An early omnibus makes no sense and just makes your base more confusing, costly, and space intensive. It's also just way easier to transport a finished resource, like say, electric motors, than a reagent, like magnetic rings. If I need a new advanced resource, I often just go out to the middle of nowhere to start mass producing it, rather than try to pull resources off some central bus and then add stuff TO a central bus. 5: for x ray cracking, I have seen a ton of overly complex designs. here's what you need to x-ray crack: hydrogen running past the refinery, and past that, oil. Going upstream to downstream, port 1 is hydrogen out, port 2 is oil, and port 3 is hydrogen IN. This means that the hydrogen output of the cracker feeds directly into it's own hydrogen input, which means it will not run out of input hydrogen. Then just send the graphite off to burn or join your matrix cube production or whatever. There is no need for any loop, or to tear out said loop when hydrogen becomes less desirable later. Just one hydrogen line, one oil line, and then a 1 tile gap every 2 refineries to collect the graphite.
