You can fit 4x generators in a mk2, which is what I am using as my base for the stacking generators. While a mk3 will let you squeeze something like 9 in a single blueprint, but you are really playing tetris at that point and it doesn’t look natural. It’s also only a little shorter than my 4x plus a 4x on top. Overall, I like the 4x in a mk2, as it scales more naturally.

I highly recommend building them via blueprint if you aren’t already. The main benefit being that you can overclock them in the blueprint itself, and it will be built overclocked and with the power shards already in place.

Fuel, Turbofuel, or Rocket Fuel?

I setup in the blue crater, and completely missed the mark on space. I am up to Rocket Fuel, but only using ~1200 crude at the moment. I have started to double stack my generators, and made a nice blueprint for it. Unfortunately, I added too many Power Storage units in the blueprint, and I run our of wire to quickly when trying to mass build them =/. The design is setup to stack as tall as you want, and doesn’t look completely terrible with the exhaust in the middle.

I have a compact blueprint with 4 refineries (OC’d to 125%) + 4 blenders for the Heavy Oil Residue + Diluted Fuel step. (I also can reuse this one for my plastic/rubber setup). And another blueprint with 4 blenders stacked making Nitro Rocket Fuel. After packing these so densely, I’ve been able to cut the footprint of producing the fuel in half.

Are you finding the new conveyor counters useful?

There are two easy ways to tweak the game without needing mods. You can kind custom craft a pseudo new game+ that way.

• Game settings/advanced game settings - can allow you to start with tech unlocked, hostiles set to passive, and a variety of other settings
• SCIM can let you easily edit your save game, including, but not limited to unlocking recipes, unlocked research etc.

I’ve been debating tweaking some settings for my second go (when 1.1 drops) myself. I think giving myself Manual Depot Uploader from the start of the game will really make the play though more fun without really altering the need to go exploring. I’ve been waffling on setting all the critters to retaliate only. I think I want to redo all of the crash sites to explore the new breakdown mechanic, but that’s just me. I do want to see if there are new achievements with 1.1 before i tweak an advanced setting, but I guess I could spin up an old save for that if I cared enough.

Your game, make it play how you want to make it play.

You have orange boxes? Half the time I have concrete parking garages…

On the plus side, a handful of mods are no longer needed.

What mods were you using that you waiting on?
