Unobtanium noob question...

[red_rooster_slim]

So, not my first merchandiser. not my first refinery. got all the things, belts, pipes to the unobtanium merchandiser. electrified. all the dots have been connected to make unobtanium scrap.

I did everything. Switched pipes. dismantled and rebuilt almost everything. waste of time.

The thing isn't working.

any ideas?

(is that some bad traslation or mod

It's a mod https://ficsit.app/mod/6oZf9UeBYozEDZ

That's irony

Perhaps it's a prank? Wouldn't be the first time someone did that. The name even resonates of something that is not obtainable... just saying.

I thought it was more aluminumy.

Cannot obtain unobtainium. Yep, sounds like it's working just fine.

The only thing harder than unobtanium to work with, in my experience, is administrontium. Most common use is in producing HR departments.

It's a mod called Unobtanium. I found the problem.

The recipe calls for 80 computers and 1100 quickwire when the max amount held is 50 computers and 500 quickwire. The author ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up.

Therefore - Unobtanium. :-)

Thanks for the insight. Didn't get far enough to get stuck on it yet...

Yeah, I kinda got that it was a mod. Unobtanium is an old joke. It's supposed to be unobtainable, hence the name.

I have the same problem. the Brex. goes in and all that comes out is Silica the liquid never gets past on to the next refinery to make the scrap to make the ingots to make the sheets? eather i'm missing something or the dammed machine is busted! I went through 3 or 400 units of Brixet and all I have to show for it is a few bags of white dust? very frustrating to say the least. I don't know what the answer is but without it I can't progress on the HUB. unless I buy it from the SHOP. not a happy camper!

It's from a Hanna Barbara animation from back in the day.

how did you get past the 3rd recipe? how did you fix the 80 computers and the 1100 quickwire problem when only 50 computers and 500 quickwire are only possible?

Maybe it was once upon a name, but now it's a trope for a made up material that only seems to exist in tiny quantities or in stupidly specific circumstances. The material is obviously perfect for whatever application it is required for too.
