<p>Lordmatt: /* Stuff I do not yet understand but will try to document when I do */</p> <hr /> <div>=about me=<br /> <br /> I'm a nerd for Kent (UK) who fairly recently (December 2024) found the game after seeing a YouTuber play it. I'm loving it so far even though most of the [[Laboratory]] mini games have me feeling confused.<br /> <br /> This is not my first wiki. If I see something I can usefully add, I will.<br /> <br /> I'm keeping my notes inside my user space while I work stuff out. Once I have anything useful to add, I'll copy it to the relevant article or a guide or something.<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;width:30%;float:right;margin:0.5em 1.5em;padding:1em;border:1px solid #666;&quot;&gt;<br /> == My Bookmarks ==<br /> <br /> * [[The Ultimate Potato Guide To Things!]]<br /> * [[Elements]]<br /> * [[Progression Guides]]<br /> * [[Power Stones]]<br /> <br /> === Tools ===<br /> * [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes to Wiki]]<br /> * [[Special:ListFiles|Files and media]]<br /> <br /> === Things I might help work on ===<br /> <br /> * [[Wip pages]]<br /> <br /> == My notes ==<br /> * [[/Tower testing|Tower testing Notes]]<br /> * [[/Factory notes|Factory notes]]<br /> * [[/Lab Notes|Lab Notes]]<br /> * [[/Power Plant notes|Power Plant notes]]<br /> * [[/templates|My note taking templates]]<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> == Stuff I do not yet understand but will try to document when I do ==<br /> <br /> * Several Lab experiments<br /> * The whole multiverse fabrics of reality are still a mystery to me<br /> * Some of the [[Arcade]]<br /> * NGL the rules for [[Experiment: Light]] baffle me. Like, how does it determine how many bounces you get?<br /> <br /> == Stuff I am starting to get ==<br /> <br /> * Value improvements from the [[beacons]]<br /> * Boosts of each tier of [[Museum#Power_stones|power stones]]<br /> <br /> {{User:Lordmatt/templates/idea|I think beacons grant +1% boost per level}}<br /> <br /> <br /> === [[Museum]] [[Power Stones|Power Stone]] levels ===<br /> <br /> I have noticed that combining three stones for a higher level one yields less of a shield bonus for that element than 3 one-tier-lower separates. I'm still trying to figure out the numbers.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{User:Lordmatt/templates/idea|It seems that combining three stones to get a higher tier creates an inefficiency resulting in a slightly smaller boost.}} <br /> {{User:Lordmatt/templates/idea|Each tier increases the attack power but not by as much as the three stones it took to make it.}} <br /> {{User:Lordmatt/templates/Q|What are the defence/attack contributions of each tier of stones?}} <br /> {{User:Lordmatt/templates/partclue}}<br /> <br /> <br /> === Other notes ===<br /> <br /> * The instant complete for the gems experiment is created by the left-hand upgrade and not for maxing out lock chance as I first thought.</div>

I have not the faintest notion of how to change between the modes other than it sometimes changes.

Make as many T1 producers as you can afford and start upgrading to higher tiers as soon as you are able. even one or two higher tiers will kick out far more than a stack of one tier lower. <br /> <br /> {{User:Lordmatt/templates/tip|Your most important producer is likely [[File:White resource.png|20px]] as you can convert to everything else.}}<br /> <br /> ==== Managing inventory ====<br /> <br /> I find it best to group by tier in a roughly 4-wide by 5-deep grid. <br /> <br /> When you have massive amounts of something, processing them all can bottleneck operations.

Give them a tier at or one above the one you are currently getting into.<br /> * Set one worker to refine ore to dust.<br /> * Have as many workers as possible clicking the grids on the lowest tiers of the mine.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ==== Upscaling dust ====<br /> <br /> Dust can be scaled up to the next level with 8 dust plus one of the next level. This makes lumps, which are refined in the mixer to make 2 of the target dust. Effectively, you can at most double your dust if you have 8x of the lower tier. An exotic gem upgrade for {{Number|60|icon=[[File:Exotic gem.png|20px]]}} reduces the lower tier cost.<br /> <br /> ===Steps (second floor)===<br /> I'm slowly figuring things out about the steps section.<br /> <br /> {{User:Lordmatt/templates/partclue}}<br /> <br /> === A fantastic feedback loop ===<br /> <br /> You can get into a good feedback loop by building Factory Producers ([[File:Red resource.png|20px]]) which can pay for making production boosters.

This also allows you to resolve them for mass. Make sure you have enough storage capacity. You can only &quot;learn&quot; an item when you have learned the prerequisite for the item.<br /> <br /> <br /> You can also place orders for learned items, which will auto-construct for you using resources from floor 1.<br /> <br /> ===== Dissolve =====<br /> <br /> Turns items in the inventory into mass which can be used to fabricate other items. It is well worth upgrading the storage for the mass ahead of the dissolve unit. This way the fabricator will have a big buffer if you run out of things to dissolve.<br /> <br /> {{User:Lordmatt/templates/tip|When the queued item has run out, it stalls rather than skips to the next.

So far, three has been more than enough to keep the dissolve thing fed.<br /> <br /> ==== Manafacture ====<br /> Boosts to producers, machine speed, and things like that go here. I've been investing in drops boosters.<br /> <br /> Unlocking more space needs eye-watering amounts of red cube 10Sp[[File:Red resource.png|20px]] for level 2.</div>

<p>Lordmatt: /* Dissolve */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Building|Tier=10|ConversionRate=150|Image=Factory.png|Color=Red|ColorCode=red}}<br /> [[File:Red resource.png|left]]<br /> '''[[User:Lordmatt|Matt's]] [[Factory]] Notes.''' The factory is where producers are made. These are vital resources for other buildings. <br /> <br /> The Factory is fed by the [[mine]]<br /> <br /> === Standard factory ===<br /> [[File:Factory2.png|thumb|1. Crafting Grid 2. Inventory 3. Machines 4. Recipes 5. Production 6. Shop 7. Refining]]<br /> <br /> To &quot;build max&quot; left-shift plus click seems to do the job.<br /> <br /> Sometimes it gets stuck on build all which sets the shop to buy some. I've not worked out why.<br /> <br /> {{User:Lordmatt/templates/tip|Power up your [[User:Lordmatt/Power Plant notes|power plant]] to boost factory speed.}}<br /> <br /> {{User:Lordmatt/templates/tip|You can pin recipes by right-clicking on them in the recipe pattern menu}}<br /> <br /> ==== The Factory UI ====<br /> <br /> {{User:Lordmatt/templates/tip|To lay an even spread of items in the maker grid (for example for stack plate) click and hold and mouse over the squares to fill. This will evenly distribute your ingredients.}}<br /> <br /> ===== [[Factory]] Select Modes (no longer a total mystery to me) =====<br /> <br /> It seems you can either build one at a time (lots of clicking for building things) but buy all of the stock in the shop with a right click OR build all at once but only buy half at the shop (lots of clicks to buy all). I have not the faintest notion of how to change between the modes other than it sometimes changes. I don't know why it locks to build all sometimes.<br /> <br /> {{User:Lordmatt/templates/idea|'''My Answer''': Left shift and left click reliably builds all.}}<br /> {{User:Lordmatt/templates/idea|It seems like left-shift+right-click then right-click sets the locked on mode.}}<br /> {{User:Lordmatt/templates/partclue}}<br /> <br /> ==== Producers ====<br /> <br /> This is the main reason to run the factory. Make as many T1 producers as you can afford and start upgrading to higher tiers as soon as you are able. even one or two higher tiers will kick out far more than a stack of one tier lower. <br /> <br /> {{User:Lordmatt/templates/tip|Your most important producer is likely [[File:White resource.png|20px]] as you can convert to everything else.}}<br /> <br /> ==== Managing inventory ====<br /> <br /> I find it best to group by tier in a roughly 4-wide by 5-deep grid. <br /> <br /> When you have massive amounts of something, processing them all can bottleneck operations. Right-click to pick up half. Drop that somewhere and then right-click it to take half and put it back on the first pile. Repeat until you have a heap about the right size for your current ambitions. This becomes increasingly important as you move up the ore tier levels.<br /> <br /> {{User:Lordmatt/templates/tip|Early on, mass-buy the chips, rubber, and ingots/plates.
