FACTORY BELT AUTOMATION USING MATH - Beltmatic (Playthrough and Features)

Рет қаралды 31,233

Күн бұрын

The video is a playthrough and feature showcase of Beltmatic, a math-based factory game centered around numbers and conveyor belts. I demonstrate the game mechanics, including using extractors on resource sites to collect numbers, which are treated as resources. I explains how to use adders to combine numbers to meet the hub's demands and unlock new features like the adder, multiplier, and subtractor. The game progresses by fulfilling increasingly complex numerical goals, requiring strategic placement of extractors and operators to optimize production. I also discusse potential future updates, such as resource costs for placing objects.

The divider is really useful because you can put big even numbers onto a belt to get even more capacity per belt and then divide it to get smaller numbers as needed. For example, you could make 1000 and then divide it as needed instead of overloading belts with smaller numbers.

and there's a remainder function in each one so instead of doing 1738 - 1500 you can simply take the remainder of 1738/500 which gives you 238

The real challenge is to play without using your calculator. I made it to lvl 18 before I caved. I learned all to late that, depending on your belt and extractor levels, using 12 belts pulling from a source makes a LOT of extra drawing. Great video!

I want this game to have complex numbers. Imagine a rotation operator that rotates a 1 to i. Not as in, I, me, but as in sqrt(-1). The final boss is taking numbers beyond the reals!

@_miobrot_603 5 күн бұрын

I wish they would do that and in general include decimals and fractions so then there could be a integer divider and a real number divider, and possibly add other cool functions like the logarithms (complex numbers galore)

@@RandomUser043 agreed, although complex numbers are technically 64 bit numbers, 32 bits signed real, 32 bits signed imaginary.

@xnaaloh4437 Күн бұрын

@@_miobrot_603the devs could implement the complex number anyway they see fit but yeah stuffing it into a 64 bit number makes sense cause that’s the size of a register and register operations are faster than memory operations. They could try to use the xmm registers for 128 bits but that wouldn’t be cross platform so i guess not.

игра на один вечер, или на два. Я построил базу, которая питается 24 полными белтами, около 200 штук в секунду в сумме. Когда достигается цель, около 30 секунд чтобы перенастроить на другое число и опять сидеть несколько минут смотреть в монитор. Улучшаю конвейер, игнорируя все остальное, так как это единственный способ ускорить процесс, а больше заняться там в общем и нечем. Если хотите пройти далеко, рекомендую собирать фабрики на 24 белта для чисел, являющихся степенями двойки - 1,2,4,8,16... до 524228 у меня. Из этих чисел можно сложением составить любое число до миллиона, и очень легко расширить до любого нужного значения, просто прекращаешь подачу ненужных и добавляешь подачу нужных. Игра очень пустая, но если вам концепция нравится то попробуйте factorio.

Oh wow, did not expect Starmade to be mentioned here. I have fond memories of completely abusing the Qubit crafting system for the very short while it was in the game (I don't think there's even a wiki article left, wasn't last time I looked), buying rock and other junk and turning it into stuff like faction modules, then selling them for cash. Three or so repeats of that was enough to get filthy rich.

@blumoogle2901 20 күн бұрын

I'm getting frustrated already by seeing unsaturated belts and extractors which don't have 9 outputs. Perhaps I'm just different in wanting to optimise my design from the beginning so that upgrades will never result in half-empty belts from the last calculation to the hub no matter how fast the belt gets, and ensuring that any factory subcomponent can be copied seamlessly into a existing sub-component group without having to alter anything after the first time its built

@_miobrot_603 3 күн бұрын

it sure is possible, I built one such machine myself. just remember that powers of 2 are invaluable late game. I also wish that belts and extractors went to 12 belts and 12 items per second.

this game is far too easy. 5478 multiply 5 by 1000, 4 by 100, 7 by 10, and then add 8. it is easy enough to make ten and take it to the appropriate exponent.

That's the moment I stopped playing, after having built a bus with 1-9 numbers and 10 and some multiples, then copy paste four times to feed the hub with six belts from each cardinal point. The road from the start to that design was fun but once I got to that point it wasn't fun anymore.

Ever played Shapez? The layout, mechanics, and progression of this game were copied DIRECTLY from that. The only differences are much worse graphics and math instead of shapes, otherwise this is the most direct ripoff I've ever seen in a game! The math part is really cool but why wasn't it possible to make a math game without the scumbag move? 👿

@Nathans-Sandbox Ай бұрын

You know, I would find it a real pity if game concepts would only ever be used once and never be iterated or varied upon. Why doesn't Shapez come with a mode with numbers? Does that mean there can never be a belt factory game like Shapez but with numbers? I don't think you can claim such basic concepts only for one game... Would be a shame imo.

@Firebuck Ай бұрын

@@Nathans-Sandbox C'mon man, seriously? You can't see the difference between a game that's a mashup of ideas from a broad genre vs a direct ripoff of everything in a very specific game. These games are so identical I would not be surprised if the code itself was lifted from Shapez -- it's that close to being identical. Shapez is a very inexpensive game, you could buy it for less than a coffee and see for yourself what I'm saying.

@Nathans-Sandbox Ай бұрын

I know, I think I still have the Shapez series on the channel. It is the same concept, but with numbers, I meant to indicate that with my previous reply. I still think the concept of Shapez is so simple, it's very casual. Of course if you're right with your accusation of them copying the code, that wouldn't be ok.
