tips for efficient automation?

[Xirall]

im rather late in the game and i want to start optimizing my automation. (ive yet to do the gateway quests) other then the gem overclocker (im working on getting the last amount of diamonds to get the last one) any tips for optimizing automation?

Can you list a few specific problems that you are facing?

High efficiency is not required to beat the game, if that's the reason you're asking the question. You could decide to not worry too much about efficiency and do just fine.

Tip 1: Install speed chips in all your bots. This boost is multiplicative, not additive, meaning that it is always going to outperform other upgrades.

Tip 2: Weave out worker bots from your automation. Once you have auto-farms and drills, haulers will be more valuable than workers. Just two auto-farms will eliminate the need for two worker drones. Some farms are self sufficient once you bring enough water balls to 'prime' them, like berry trees, twiggy trees, water ball plants and juice plants. Haulers are both faster in the end and more versatile. Same goes for drills, they strait up remove the need from mining bots.

Tip 3: remove all the surplus storage. You do not need that much once you have machines that store their output, leaving space for more buildings.

Tip 4: Buy the advanced building schematics from the space station, as well as the packer. These buildings will serve in keeping your base constantly loaded resources, and the only cap is how well you organise them and the space on your island, which will increase by not having tons of machines everywhere. They use less space in the end, and can easily leave you with an excess of resources. Packaging is not that long a procedure, and once you further automate things you will enjoy the steady stream of progress.

Tip:5 A corollary to the above tip, go see the inventor in the space station as early as you can after getting the advanced schematics. This will provide those big package buildings a 100% (Not a joke) boost for 3000 credits. This is not post game, so it is worth it if you can get to this point.

Yeah, that was a lot, but hopefully these efficiency tips will help you out going into the very-late game.

thanks. i have done most of that execpt for the new black diamond overclocking. and the drill

See? That's why I asked what specific problems do you have. It's not worth anyone's time typing an essay without knowing what your situation is, because it will likely totally whiff.
