I have 500*24 screws in about 20 minutes. I've got a pair of Mk2 Iron nodes each feeding 2 boosted smelters which each feed 2 boosted Constructors making Casted Screws which converge into 1 short storage container. Steel Screws takes Coal+Iron into a Foundry to make Steel Ingots (Step 1), which then get turned into Steel Beams (Step 2) which then get combined with something else to make screws (Step 3, plus whatever they get blended with) - (or do they just get punched into screws from beams? I passed on it and can't recall what the recipe said exactly).Ĭasted screws take Iron Ore into Iron Ingot in a Smelter (Step 1) into Screws (Step 2) in a Constructor. Fine Concrete and some other dumb 5h1t just to get it out of my way.Īnyway, TL/DR just like when you were kid, if you eat your vegetables first to get them out of the way, the rest should be meat and potatoes. I don't even remember what the 2 useless ones I took were. I guess that's fine as it makes your choice easier, but this may be where I run into problems if it does work: I'll have 3 to choose from that I really want/need, and I'll be in a quandary over it.Īt any rate, after chain-smoking 5 hard drives, I actually came away with 3 useful recipes - electrode circuit board (can be made with 2 refineries easily enough), TurboFuel (really got attached to this stuff in my first save), and making poly resin + heavy residue (instead of only when making fuel), which will come in handy for polyester fabric, if I can ever get that recipe - though there are still others out there I would have preferred. When you do get a good recipe, it may not be useful at that moment (at least compared to another), but you also usually get 2 crappy ones with it. There are a lot of alternate recipes, and from what I saw of my first save, after locating almost 70 crash sites, there are more useless than useful, so this strategy may not work out like I'm hoping. After spending an hour on the first one, I finally decided to just take whatever POS recipe it coughs up, just to get them out of the way. I've acquired 5 in a short amount of time, which had door requirements I could fill easily. I've finally unlocked Aluminum, which means I'm over halfway through the game, and have been hunting down hard drives. And then of course you wait 10 minutes (must be platter drives, not SSD) and get something utterly useless like Steamed Copper Sheet, "Pure" anything, and some other whack-job recipe that takes three times as much (or more) resources to gain one extra item.Įarly on, I was re-rolling the results (save, scan, reload), but at 10 minutes each, you can easily spend a couple of real hours trying to get something you can use right then, and still not get it. However, hunting down hard drives in the early game is much more difficult time/distance, items needed to unlock the drop pods, etc. I started a new game a couple of weeks ago, and of course the early game is where alternate recipes really come in handy, like turning iron ingots into screws rather than making them from rods, stitched iron plate (copper wire + iron plate as opposed to the default iron plate + screws), etc.
