Super computer blueprints

[Andi]

Are there blueprints for the super computers that actually work? I found one on a blueprint website but after 3 hours of hooking it up, the damn thing didn't work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Ypunshould get the blueprint when you unlock it. Might be your problem.

I've been making super computers the hard way and it's a pain in the a$$. So what you['re saying is there is a blueprint in the game?

The game does not provide you with a blueprint for making supercomputers. I think brnphoenix75 misunderstood your question.

[Lil Puppy]

Game provides Recipes (technical blueprints) and then added the blueprint machine(layout plans) to help make factory layouts.
OP is talking about a factory layout that doesn't work from the blueprint machine.
That blueprint might require mods for the recipe it was made for or for an alternate recipe that you haven't unlocked yet.

You are both wrong. The blueprint designer overrules what you have unlocked by any means. The only reuiqrement is that you have the materials required to build it.
If you don't have the right recipe unlocked but you have all materials you will be able to build and use the blueprint anyway.

What didn't work?
Did you troubleshoot it? Or was the spaghetti not troubleshootable?

This is a factory building game, did you expect end game items to be easy? Step by step and don't finish by the end of the day.

You should be able to build in 3 hours a certain amount of machines that exactly are doing what you are requesting? ;)

The water is not coming in. I have it hooked up, there's power, and I have pumps too.but nothing is happening.

No, I didn't expect this game to be easy but I'm but an engineer either. A very steep learning curve with this one.

DISCLAIMER: Before some of you flame me for the engineer comment, everyone should know, I had a stroke about 10 years and about 50% of the visual side of my brain was destroyed, so it takes me longer to learn new skills. However, in the last 10 years, I'm up to 75% and games like this really help create pathways. But, the Neurologist said that this is as good as I'm going to get... maybe. So, please be kind.

Would help if you had a pic of your setup. We all might be able to help a little better. Trust me, my plants are no where near what some of these peoples are.

A picture is worth a thousand words, so if you can share pics, and a link to this 3rd party blueprint, it will help us to help you

Some common things with water/fluids:

Check each pipe segment from source to destination to find where the flow stops.

Make sure any pumps or valves are facing the correct way.

Pumps are only needed for making fluids flow upwards more than the default 10 metres. And that only refers to the vertical component. E.g. if the endpoint is 8m higher but 100m to the left of the start point, that's only 8m of height gain.

You can have too many pumps. A pump adds head lift, elevation gain reduces head lift. A pump can stall if the total head lift exceeds some limit (the pump ui will tell you this)
If you have too many pumps close together this can cause this issue.


Note that, a disadvantage on relying on third party blueprints, is if you never build the complex things yourself then you won't gain the expertise to troubleshoot when things go wrong.

The blueprint is ok, as far as I can see. Very, VERY slow, but it's working. Attached the needed reasources to it (cheats), just to check the blueprint and supercomputers are coming out. Eventually... ;) I made NO changes to the blueprint in any way.
So you might have to check your inputs.

Edit: replaced the cheat inputs with real inputs. Still working.

Unfortunately, I have dismantled that setup since it didn't work. I'll try again later. Thanks.
