Burger frenzy solution (spoilers)

[Bertie]

After a bit of fiddling around I've just done the Burger Frenzy level - I'd be interested to see anyone else's solutions as mine was pretty damn tight. I had to record a video to actually see how much time I had left as it was 0.1 seconds!

Oddly the final thing that got me through the level was changing one of the arms by the exit to a left one, rather than straight. The fraction of a second it takes to go 180 degrees rather than 90 degrees was tipping me over the edge.

On a similar note I still think it's weird that the arms start facing the wrong direction. Why would you want it to begin facing somewhere other than the location of the ingredients it was going to start picking up?

The gap above is because I've got screenshots in the spoiler. For some reason even if you tag the screenshot as a spoiler it still shows the thumbnail in a discussion.

I had the exact same parts as you but only got to 49.

Then I copied your exact layout and got the 50. However I use way more power and ingredients with the same layout regardless of the power options for the grills. The assembling machines have to be on fast-mode to get to 50.

This the setup I finished with. It's more costly but lets me finish with more than 10 seconds to spare.

Just gonna say, loving the builds and tactics here!

I like how you've got 2 dispensers feeding 1 grill out to 2 assemblers. Might have to steal that idea!

From this thread, I picked up a couple of things (most of which I now realize I already knew, but couldn't implement well):
1. Bent Robotic Arms are better whenever possible, because faster loading time
2. Having more dispensers than assemblers can be very important for amping up the speed

With those thoughts in mind, I ended up creating this monstrosity to complete the objectives as quickly as possible:

Finished with over 20 seconds on the clock still (Somwhere around 20.2 I think)

Also, note the combining of Burger with Cooked Patties to save money for the extra dispensers

Here was what I came up with.

whats hard about this level? i just built the easiest plain burger setup as simple as possible: {LINK REMOVED}https://i.imgur.com/iaGLrI9.png

then I cloned it twice and easy hit all targets with 12 seconds left. for the order messup just set a single dispenser to 6s instead of 5..

I'm curious if you actually got that last order out before you went over the ingredient limit.

I probably approached it the wrong way - did a quick calculation to work out that I needed 2 assemblers to cover the orders and worked from there. 3 assemblers appears to be the better solution all round, but just a bit more expensive.

Yeah... there's definitely more than one way to do it. I tried your layout and just couldn't get under the ingredient limit so I expanded to 3 assemblers so I could push more dishes out before a lot of ingredients were in the supply chain.

Most minimalist solution.
790w consumption with around 15s remaining time.

I found a better solution and also fixed the ingredients problem with your setup. It all about the robot arms turning angles and assembler output side.

770w consumption, 44.250$ spent.

Tip for anyone looking to minimize their energy usage on this - assuming you have more than 2.5 seconds to spare on the level, you can turn all your grills to Power Saving mode, it only takes longer if you're feeding more than 2 dispensers at 5 second gap, as the only part that slows down is that you lose 2.5 seconds at the start (or at the end, take your semantics pick)

I got this setup, seems to be the cheapest so far i have seen:
36.000$ / 120 ingrediens / 821 Wh

So, might need to make a bug thread about this as well, but I had an interesting build when I was trying to optimize this level for efficiency - I complete the level so close to the fail time that sometimes I fail the level, sometimes I complete the level, and sometimes I fail the level with 50 orders delivered. It changes from time to time, seemingly randomly - although the fail with 50 orders delivered seems to be a speed-up thing (it happens very frequently on 3rd speed)
