Please limit the Factory Items from Asteroid Mining

[o.captjekyll.o]

My inventory is filling with useless parts so fast that my fabricator has no room to produce my queued items.

There is an auto-dissolving setting once you unlock the factory second floor, but i'm guessing you do not have that.

Thanks coco, just found and figured out how to use the auto dissolve thanks to your comment.

Oh! Glad i could help. :D

tbf auto disolver doesn't work on anything you haven't researched unless it's in reverse mode, and then you can't SAVE anything you haven't researched, so it's even MORE useless... so it's limited until very late game, plus it does not a damn thing if your mass storage is full...

[Insane_Insomniac4]

maybe add like an auto-trash incoming items below tier x setting for materials? and a separate setting for x tier producers/machines? cause I have t10 machines except 1, and t1-4 producers are literally useless, except for having like 1-3 in there for full capacity bonus (depending on if you have made gem producers...or gotten one as a drop assuming gem producers even can drop from asteroids...

[Insane_Insomniac4]

oh, maybe those could be worker slots, then it'd be kinda balanced? and you could build the settings into the dispatch order...but please make it only effect asteroid drops as they are being claimed otherwise they'd probably nuke any wanted parts below the set tier already in your warehouse

Exotic producers drop from Asteroids. Just don't expect to get too much. I didn't see any normal gem producer drop.

Normal gem producer absolutely drops (unless patched out in the past week)

I too have gotten the blue gem producer to drop, once. Not sure if the latest patch nerfed that, though.

can confirm gem and exotic gem producers still drop, my advice as of the current lack of effective auto-trash is, keep at least 1 of everything you want more of when not actively playing, then if you already have all the items you want to keep, fill the rest of the slots with 1 each of some random item, you can click and drag to clean em out easy enough when you want to make something, and it blocks random drops the rest of the time. OR if you don't yet have at least 1 of everything you want (i.e. t10 machines, t5 producers, gem producers) then just clear it out every hour or as often as your free time allows to make room for more drops until you have everything you wanted

Fabricator is second floor Factory too, so that'd be kinda hard not to have.

Though i find it rather annoying that the Fabricator will either try to make everything from ore, or use up stuff it just made for another project. It should at least reserve things it made for queued objects so it doesn't stall itself.

'Research' everything you can and it should hold out long enough that you can look every day or 2 without worries. I found machines up to T4 and parts up to T6 to be enough to last days. For remaining 'garbage' you can use a clicker script to click the trash location and then click each 'garbage' item yourself for fast deletion. Alternatively, there is the typical 'fill inventory with items you want' strategy so that you never have garbage.

This issue gets worse as you progress. Currently T14, working through researching infinity stones. I've upped the mining speed a lot, the factory can fill in a matter of minutes while I'm tower testing for 24 hours straight. The simplest fix would be to allow the ores to stay where they get produced without needing to go to the warehouse, and to be able to be taken straight to the crusher by the workers, and also allow the next run of the refiner to start while there are still ores in its output. There's no limit to how much you can choose to refine, so no limit on how much can be in the output, so why place the limit of not being able to run the refiner when there are ores in the output? A worker refiner run for T10 takes less than a minute for me now, but I can't tell the worker to do larger runs :(

Locking tiles (only allow X in that spot) would be the best solution imo. Also 'refine last'.
Workers don't need to be able to do that as inventory management is a user issue, but I agree it would be a big QoL.
Nice necro.
