Four tips to save some frustration

Four tips for new Mob Factory players to save you some frustration.

Tips

1) You cannot delete things that you have manufactured. Do not build extra mob spawners. Only build exactly as many as you need. This will save a lot of inventory space and you won't have to fiddle with them to keep a tidy inventory.

2) After purchasing a new floating island, build a straight wall from one side towards the other to start directing the mob spawns. Leave 3 rows of empty space in this walled area. This will allow for one row of spawners, a travel path and a second row of spawners. At some point, you'll often find you need more mob loot.


As you can see on the left in the above image. I've left room to place more skeleton spawners. On the right, you can see that initial 3 empty spaces saved on having to relocate walls. Assuming I don't need additional spider spawners.

3) The 8 damage weapon is tricky to use. It requires an incoming shot to produce it's outgoing 8 damage shot. One square is required between the 8 damage weapon and the other weapon. It won't work if you build them with no space between.

4) Liquid manufacturing looks confusing but is actually rather simple. Pipes can do a 90 degree turn. Avoid using the merge and divide pipe sections as they aren't worth the hassle. Its easier to produce what you need without them.

any tips on "feeding" mimics or unnecessary?

Worms can be cheesed with 2 area damage (3 to be sure) and Spiders have the same with 3 (4 to be sure). And because they are AOE, It's quite scale-able :D

Updated the guide to make #2 less confusing.

You can't delete the initial spawner on an island. You'll be placing new spawners of the same type next to the starting one. Maybe not right away but at some point.

So when placing walls on a new island, leave extra room for additional spawners. This will save you from having to rebuild all of your walls at a later time.
