Rebirth of the Game Pioneer

Chapter 165 Social fear meets social fear

For players who like sandbox construction or science fiction-themed games, the appeal of "Dyson Sphere Project" is fatal.

After opening the game, Wen Liang had been playing in his seat for more than three hours before he knew it.

During this period, he even got carried away with the game, and didn't leave his seat for more than three hours.

This game gave him the feeling that everything was novel at first, and then the longer he played and the deeper he got, the more he wanted to shout "Awesome!"

The design of the conveyor belts and sorters in the game is simply a stroke of genius, directly solving the automation problems that have been difficult to achieve in the game and easily solving them.

In other sandbox construction games, in the middle and late stages of play, the collection and manual synthesis of materials are very boring and time-consuming operations. For players who are not very patient, this accumulated loss of patience is very easy to persuade them to quit.

But the "Dyson Sphere Project" solves this problem perfectly.

The raw ore collected from the mining field is transported out through the conveyor belt, and then the designated minerals are taken to the manufacturing plant using a sorter to make new products using the manufacturing formula set in advance. The new products are transported to another conveyor belt through the sorter. Conveyor belt, and so on...

After just three hours of trial play, Wen Liang gradually figured out the essence of the game.

Although he has just played the electromagnetic matrix stage at this time, looking at the technology tree, he knows that this is still the early stage of the game.

But this does not affect his speculation on the core gameplay of the game.

In his speculation, no matter how complex the various material synthesis methods required in the subsequent technology are, in theory, it is possible to realize automated production from mineral raw materials to final products.

In the game, whether it is power consumption, transmission efficiency, manufacturing efficiency, collection efficiency, or sorting efficiency, there are fixed and quantitative specifications.

Therefore, it is obvious that how to complete the automated mass production of an item with maximum efficiency has naturally become a question that players must think about.

After all, the planet is so big. Judging from the technology tree, if you want to play the game comfortably in the middle and late stages, it is obviously best not to be too casual in the layout of the buildings in each stage of the game.

Otherwise, Wen Liang could imagine the pain of repairing the crematorium in the early stage for a while and then dismantling the crematorium in the later stage.

For example, the first milestone in the early stages of the game is the automated mass production of electromagnetic matrices, which is commonly known as the construction of the Blue Sugar Automated Factory among players.

Suppose you want to build an automated blue sugar production line with an output of 120/min, and you want to make perfect use of everything.

It is known that the production efficiency of the research station is 20/min, so the construction of 6 research stations is naturally the best. If there is less, the efficiency will not meet the standard, and if the raw material transportation efficiency cannot keep up with more, it will be a waste.

Crafting a blue candy requires a circuit board and a magnetic coil.

The manufacturing efficiency of the manufacturing station for producing circuit boards and magnetic coils is both 120/min. Therefore, through calculation, it is necessary to build two manufacturing plants, respectively for manufacturing circuit boards and magnetic coils.

To synthesize two circuit boards, you need two iron blocks and one copper block, and to synthesize two magnetic coils, you need two magnets and one copper block.

Converted into production efficiency, the circuit board production line requires an output efficiency of iron blocks of 120/min, the output efficiency of copper blocks is 60/min, the magnetic coil production line requires an output efficiency of copper blocks of 60/min, and the magnet production line requires an output efficiency of 120/min. The output efficiency is /min.

In the game, the efficiency of the furnace in producing iron and copper blocks is 60/min, and the efficiency of producing magnets is 40/min.

Therefore, it can be calculated that the circuit board production line needs to build a total of 3 furnaces, and the magnetic coil production line needs to build a total of 4 furnaces.

The mining speed of a mining machine is 30/min per vein. Generally speaking, if the mining machine is placed in a good position, it can collect 6 veins at the same time, which is an output of 180/min.

The efficiency of processing iron ore into magnets and iron blocks, and processing copper ore into copper blocks is 1:1. From the demand of the production line, it is not difficult to see that the output requirement of the production line for iron ore is 240/min, and the output requirement for copper ore is 120/min. /min.

In other words, the mining machine needs to cover at least 8 iron ore and 4 copper ore, so it is necessary to build 2 mining machines to mine iron ore and 1 mining machine to mine copper ore.

After calculation and derivation, 6 research stations, 2 manufacturing plants, 7 furnaces, and 3 mining machines are the required buildings to realize a 120/min blue sugar automated factory.

On this basis, players will have a clearer idea when they think about how to plan the routing of conveyor belts and the layout of buildings.

On top of this, it should also be noted that the efficiency of the sorter is 0.75 seconds/unit grid, one grid or the like. The transportation efficiency of the sorter can meet the needs of the factory. If the distance from the sorter to the conveyor belt exceeds One grid, such as two grids, then the transmission efficiency of 1.5 seconds will actually cause the subsequent production line to be unable to operate at the highest efficiency, and it will not be able to achieve the blue sugar output target of 120/min.

It is easier to solve this kind of problem. Just repair one more sorter and you're done.

Mineral collection, mineral processing, circuit board and magnetic coil processing, blue sugar processing, just a blue sugar automated production requires 4 steps. How complicated are the brown sugar, brown sugar, purple sugar, green sugar and finally white sugar?

Therefore, playing this game with brains and playing without brains are completely two different games.

Playing without thinking is not only painful and slow, but even when you find that a large building seems to have to be demolished while playing, the urge to delete the game is very light.

Play with your brain, like Wen Liang, always think about how to maximize the operating efficiency of each building, and how to route wiring to minimize the floor space while achieving the goal. This game suddenly becomes easy and interesting.

In fact, if we really want to say that the "Dyson Sphere Project" requires a lot of brains, it does take a lot of brains, but this brain-consuming problem is mainly reflected in the layout. The calculation problems are all problems that elementary school students can calculate. Is it possible that those who keep saying that calculations are troublesome really have a brain? Worse than a primary school student?Of course not, they are just a bunch of lazy dogs who just want to copy their homework!

For players who like to use their brains to play games and those who have severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, "Dyson Sphere Project" is definitely good news.

While playing the game, Wen Liang discovered that the game has a huge demand for conveyor belts and sorters. He even built a special production line to produce these two things and set up a warehouse to store the finished products. When needed, there will be a large amount ready-made. It can be used, which saves time and energy.

Including discovering that coal can replace trees as the energy source of Silver Moon, he also specially built a coal production line, so that he does not have to cut down trees or go to the mining machine to get a little coal from time to time like other players, saving money in such meaningless links. lot of time.

"Fuck!"

Suddenly, a "fuck" sound behind him startled Wen Liang, who was focused on playing games.

A palm slapped on his left shoulder, and at the same time, a head popped up on the right side of his head, startling Wen Liang who was just about to turn around.

"Brother, you are awesome! How did you do this? Teach me!"

If this person is not Nie Tian, ​​who is he?The more he played, the more painful he became, so he wandered around to see how other people were playing.

As a result, when he walked behind Wen Liang and took a look, he was astonished by the layout of the other party that made the obsessive-compulsive disorder say "comfortable".

Neat and orderly layout, conveying assembly line with clear division of labor...

Wen Liang had both hands off the keyboard and mouse at this time. In the game, from minerals to iron blocks and copper blocks to circuit boards and magnetic coils to blue sugar, all buildings were running in an orderly manner, just like the high-tech buildings in reality. Unmanned assembly line factory.

The piece of blue sugar that Nie Tian finally managed to squeeze out with his hands looked no different from the iron ore on the other side's conveyor belt.

Nie Tian suddenly felt ashamed when he thought about how he wanted to scream three times when he tinkered with the first piece of blue candy. When he thought about his shit-like layout.

Wen Liang also recognized Nie Tian at this time, and he blurted out with surprise: "Sky! You are a god!"

Nie Tian waved his hands nonchalantly and said, "What a damn god, what's your name? This is the first time I see you."

Wen Liang was a little overwhelmed by his idol's down-to-earth attitude. He was stunned for two seconds before he responded: "Wen Liang."

"Wen...Liang...Brother, your name is so awesome! Wen Chou and Yan Liang! If they come together, the second master will run away! It's awesome! Come on, Brother Wen, teach me how to do this thing of yours" Made it?"

This was the first time Wen Liang had heard such an explanation for his name. At the same time, he was a little flattered to be called brother out of the blue by a feared idol.

"No, no, no, God, please don't call me brother, how can I bear it?"

Nie Tian immediately put on a straight face and raised his left hand and landed another heavy palm: "What can't you bear? You can call me God when playing StarCraft. I am just a younger brother in front of you when playing StarCraft. You must bear the call of Brother Wen." Get up! Let’s go! I’ll buy you a Coke!”

After saying that, without waiting for Wen Liang's consent, he directly lifted him up and walked out by his shoulders.
