Planet "Humble"

[Pumachug]

I seriously think the planet should be renamed "Planet Magnesium". This place has an incredible amount of Magnesium.

AND no iridium and uranium location for miners.BUT stupid crushers

I'm not a huge fan of the crusher mechanic myself, but I've managed to get a set up working that keeps my storage full of all the minerals I need and supplies my pulsar trade rockets. Had to run super alloy rods too so I didn't feel bad shredding all that super alloy. The crusher system does waste a LOT.

As far as the Planet name, I thought it was odd from the beginning. I mean, it's hard for a planet to be like, humble or angry, or thoughtful, or kind. Not the usual descriptors for a rock in space. I would really be curious to know why they chose that name. Which is why I call my Humble save Planet Curious. Lol.

Mmmmm, after coming within a cat's whisker of dying in my first playthrough of Humble (before they made it easier) I decided that the name meant that this new planet was going to Humble me... and it did, for awhile, but I have it's pulse now, it's clay in my hands, lol!

My first Humble save I named Stumble Inn Bumble Humble, my second one I decided to call Get Down & Humble,,, (guess it was one of those days... ;-p )

The Crushers are awesome.

They give you early access to Nuclear Reactors which means power is a non-issue on Humble, and they give you a steady stream of Alloy too which also reduces that burden.

Once you get a T2 Extractor up and start digging up Uraninite, you've got it made.

....except that to get enough iridium (with uranium not far behind), you have to take in excess of everything else, so I feel as if the system could use a little better balancing when it comes to how much and what the uraninite produces. Minor detail though...

Do what I have always done with the Mining Machine. There is just so much iron, titanium, etc. you can use. After the third storage cabinet is full, I build a Shredding Machine and place it next to the Mining Machine--or in this case, the Ore Crushers--and dump the unwanted minerals in. Gone forever. If I ever begin to run low on iron, I can always take it back to base and refill a cabinet or two.

[Robirda]

Well, yeah, that's why I called it a minor detail - you can always shred what you don't need. But I would prefer not to have to shred so much, it just feels really wasteful, which kind of goes against the grain, you know, the ole 'waste not, want not' thing? lol!

[Sanquin]

On the prime planet I had an excess of basic ores once I reached the mid-game, yes. But with the new crusher mechanic I have SO many excess ores I basically shred 2/3 of what I get, because I only need 1 or 2 of the ores a certain shredable ore gives me.

I thought that once I unlocked drones I could just set up my shredder to automatically collect any excess ores and delete them, but nope! For some reason my drones put ores in the shredder before my storage is actually full. Even though the shredder is set to lowest priority.

I've never had a problem with drones doing that...

Are you using Priority 0? I know theoretically you can do that, but I always set my shredders to 1 and my storage to 2 just in case 0 is buggy. Superstition, I suppose, but it always worked for me.

It's no longer a number. Priorities are now called "lowest", "very low", "low", etc. But I guess I'll give that a try.

EDIT: I just tried. No change. Shredder still gets prioritized over storage. And for some reason the drones ignore my crusher entirely, and don't seem to pick up any cobalt and bring it to storage at all.

[maestro]

They changed that?

Musta been really recent because I did a playthrough like a month or two ago...

hmmm. the shredder (my play right now) is always set to lowest

All others are higher than normal. so it should work.

Yep, they changed it - they even listed it in the list of included updates, pretty sure it was with the decorations update. Not much of an improvement for programming the drones though, my drones are also acting like (as I have been calling them) 'idiot sticks' (as in, all the brains a dead dry stick has lol)...

I've surmised that maybe 'highest priority' really means 'lowest priority' to them? 'Cause that's the way they seem to be acting lately... it doesn't make sense that would be the case, but, who knows? It's a 'go figure' thing just now...
