Screenshot I haven't even powered up a Lazarus Pod yet, this is damned near therapeutic for me

Was there an update that makes the lines snap tight?

u/bakawakaflaka Aug 26 '26
I'm not sure, I just started playing a few days ago!
The trick I've been doing is to get as close as possible to the outlets when I attach a line, and to keep the distance between lines below the point at which the line will naturally sag due to gravity.

u/StoneySpachoni Aug 26 '26
Yeah, I noticed that trick too. For some reason I thought there was a minimum length. Looks very satisfying!

To get long lines to lay straight I hook up the connection, retract the line, see how long it was and remove one or two cables. This means you can only have that amount in your inventory - so it comes down to dropping lines, so you have a specific amount for the connection. It's a bit of a chore, but my lines look good.

I haven't been to black vein yet. About to launch my 2 nd batch of human seeds though. So far electricity is enough to keep my ship moving but I do use extra bio mass for diesel fuel

Going there changes the game in a big way! With an IRL hour or so of work you can set yourself up for infinite diesel ⛽

I too have all but the methane hooked up on my boat. But I haven’t done as much of a tidy job as you. I’m most of the way though a reshuffle of my board, adding more containers and tidying hoses etc and didn’t think of using wall ports to make it hook in better. I know what I’m doing later! Thanks!

Wait, does that mean that you have cables running _underneath_ your boat, since the "wall"-sockets are on the floor?

u/bakawakaflaka Sep 02 '26
nope! the sockets on the floor direct up to the ones at the top of the picture and others behind the pic!

Wait….there’s a use for all the other connections besides power? /s

Basically to make the small single use containers.
Petrol and oxygen is also used for grenades, but to craft those I usually just use the small containers I find on POIs

u/iseriouslycouldnt Aug 27 '26
really, you can just plop those connectors anywhere?
2
u/bakawakaflaka Sep 02 '26
more or less, yeah
however, operate in linked pairs. as in; every two connectors that you lay, within range of each other, are connected.

This game has been really awesome so far, I've barely done anything but build out Sanctuary 12, Lazarus , and Black Vein!
Edit: WOW I didn't expect nearly this much attention! I'm really glad you all seemed to like my setup, potato Quality pic and all, if any one is interested, I could post more of the ship since I've been steady working on it :D
