Ya boy is back, still nobody knows why this comment is pinned

"My extra long contraption cost me the love I used to have for the game we played."

I think you indirectly mentionned it at the end of the video, but the tapper also allows to make a fully automated explosive powder farm since it only requires sulfur and carbon which are now both renewable.

Tapers also make it very easy to automate research. People have already talked about combining carbon and compound into plastic to research but a much better option is to go to calador and combine 2 carbon and sulfur for explosive powder. A relatively simple automated explosive powder setup can easily supply over 4 research chambers simultaneously, giving you 960 b/m.

Who would have thought there would be inflation in astroneer

Fun fact, the tapper is so op it can make a small power plant using.... 7-3 tappers. 7 glacio/calidor ranked plants or 3 atrox plants. 1 auto arm. 1 large storage. 4 medium storage. 32 small gens. 1 med platfom. Its 64 power with a tiny setup, but super loud

If you scrap two Medium Buggy Horns, and then with that scrap you purchase resin and compound, combined with the organic/carbon needed to make rubber and plastic, allows you to make two new Medium Buggy Horns, and you'll be left with 1 net excess scrap. Build a machine to do this and the only manual process required is to feed Medium Buggy Horns into a shredder (because auto arms won't pick up something that big) and it's an infinite (if slow unless you scale it way up) scrap making machine with no input.

I build this in a circle with the tappers in the center. You can even get portable smelters to condense it down to two platforms and one auto arm, even for multiple generators depending on the size/storage on the smelter/generator platform.

I think they should make the tapper work extremely slow on early game plants, making it a lot harder to replace solar and wind, while making it really viable and funny item on late game. Either that or make it cost something like a diamond, although this feels a bit more restrictive than the other option

The second i realized how the tapper works I build a 8 small generator Platform B with an autoarm, 15 Energy for no further upkeep is crazy

I started watching this guy YESTERDAY mainly and he's pretty good. I saw its been a few months since a upload and expected one soon. I guess that came true. It would be a dream to play with you some day. Also very nice beginning cinematic shots!

I don't know how this video has less views than mine. The quality of this is insane! I do truly believe that System Era should just make the tapper cost titanium alloy or something really expensive so it is not an early game item. That would fix EVERYTHING although... maybe they added this so we would play Astroneer again to change all our farms. Hmmmmmmm. I don't know, I'm just glad it got you to make a video!

Yeah I just recently did a playthrough of the game, and on every single planet i set up a few tappers, one auto arm, and a grid of about 16 small gens to carry me through the whole game. But honestly, it didn't ruin the fun of the game at all to me.

You know nanocarbon allows as cheap as dirt video? Where do you scrap the dirt? And how you can get free organic to turn into scrap? Same thing but with glow sticks and non-automated. Nanocarbon alloy Is Free. Edit: I did the calculations 1 nanocarbon alloy is 9 scrap or 36 glow sticks. Edit 2: I also figures out 1 pulmefir tree can support 2-3 medium generators. 2 trees is 6 medium generators. At the most consumption is consume 7 u/s. 6*9=54 54 - 7 = 47 u/s. This rtg replacement can produce at least produce 47 u/s with 2 trees and 6 medium generators.

didnt expect such good editing from such a small channel

thank god i was not the only one who thought the tapper is completely broken

I honestly love the tapper the way it is. Dont get me wrong it is so absolutely broken. 😂 But It made me love the game so much more because it forced me to create an automation to generate power. Thats what I loved I had to use ingenuity to make something super busted. Wind and Solar and RTGs never had that feeling for me. Felt like an endless grind process to get some sort of resemblance of an endless power source.

Sure there's balance problems with using organic for power. IDK I feel like players that care just won't use it for that. Astroneer is a chill game. I think you have a point about RTGs. I did the math, and yeah fields and fields of batteries, storage to hold them that have to go along with higher tier solar / wind items didn't appeal to me over simply mass producing nano-carbon alloy (which I wanted to automate anyway). For scrap, you can also go gangbusters with by automating tungsten / copper collection and shredding lights though. It just takes a little more infrastructure to set up. I do appreciate there being a way to *fully* automate organic collection though. I think that should stay in some form. It was nice setting up assembly lines for all resources that require carbon without me having to use soil (not fully automated!) or collect the organic myself. Thanks for the video

Been a minute! Nice to see you back!

Love your channel! Some really good editing, too 😎

The TAPPER! THANK YOU! IT'S UNBELIEVABLE 😂😂😂

Smelter line could be made shorter if you use large platform b with snelter and two geberators on it

I used to just go to the poles of the planet and put a bunch of solar panels really high up so they would always make energy

with the tapper and medium generator you can get up to 27 u/s (and maybe even more however i havent tested that yet) by placing the generators close together and by getting the harmless flora plant on Atrox (i think it generates 1 organic every 40 seconds when tapped)

auto arms and smelters take power so what you get is less than 9 total

you can automate scrapping organic by making medium buggy horns. they can be automated, they need (if I remember correctly) two resources, one made with compound (I guess) and organic, second made with something and coal. and you can buy that compound and other material for 1 scrap both and you'll get 1,5 scrap from scrapping horn. so you'll get 0.5 scrap in total per one horn

I like to start early early games with solar and wind powered item found over sylva. Early games with the medium generators, tappers and batteries, for Sylva. Then i move on to other planets with their respective ''high power'' and batteries. Mid-game still use some tapper/generator setup (mostly on moons-hense the early game batteries from Novus on Sylva. And Tungsten[Floodlight/Chemlab/Mediumgeneratos!!] from Desolo.) But with a twist of some higher solar/wind powered system with batteries on main planets. Solar for Calidor(Dynamite), Wind for Glacio(Yeah right, who knew? Steeeeeeel.), both for Vesenia(Takes a lot[100+units of power per second] for Titanium Alloy automation/Vesenia can craft Hydrazine, Graphene and Titanium Alloy on its own. RTG's mostly are used on Atrox on a Large Platform C to Automate Nanocarbon Alloy along with a Atmospherique Condenser generating Helium and both other ressources. Stay organized.

not gonna lie bro watching your videos brings back memories and makes me laugh lol. nice vid💪🙏

SO DRAMATIC!!!!! I love it. Yes please, moar!!!!

they should make it so you have to do like one of those quests like the train one where you need to complete a quest to get the item and you're going to have to collect all the seeds and put them in the right place, here's an idea maybe you need to collect a seed put it in the wrong area and complete the quests. and I'm sorry if I blurred on but hey it's a good idea it's so easy to get early game. and that would be too easy so here's a LOT of ideas. 1 you need to plant all the seeds on Sylva. 2 you can place the seeds in specific locations on that planet that the seed is on. 3 like if you plant a seed in the core it's going to grow a special plant that will generate the seed,to be more specific you're going to get a seed in a quest that you can only plant in the core, and the plant in the core is going to infinitely generate that seed,sure it's a little easy but you can't get it in the early game. and to get the overpowered item you need to also do all of the quests on every planet. I hope you liked my ideas have a wonderful day happy mining astroneers.=]

Best way to fix this is to make the tapper eventually destroy the tree

the editing is just awesome keep it up

Hey hes back but for how long? That editing, amazing, your best yet. Now im waiting to see if there is a vid of destroying each planet in the solar system. Or at least semi auto mining.

You are so helpful because you tell everyone very helpful tips in astroneer

dang, the power creep is real. Also, nice vid glad to see you pop up in my feed!

The second I saw what the tapper did my brain said "unlimited power?". When I showed my friend he said but what if we did this with research chambers making infinite Bytes

wait until he finds out that you can put multiple rappers on one tree

they could make it so it like drains plants over time

The first thing I did when it got added was making infinite energy with generators

biggest countries in the world shivering their timbers knowing that someone automated explosives

Buddy, pair it with the composter mod and the craftable qt-rtg mod. Make 3ish large resource canisters of nanocarbon alloy, an extra large platform B, 4 large storage silo B, and 48 medium silos, then you can construct what i call: THE BEHEMOTH. (lol already created it in my world) spits out a whopping 1152u/s of power. Takes a few hours to make and you'd have to craft the rtgs by hand but i'd call it worth it. Rtgs aside, tapper + composter = infinite resources.

It's an awesome feature that means I don't have to destroy my world just to get organic.

i still use rtgs along with batterys and wing and solar bc i run a lot of energy intense farms a lot

You're back YAY

At the very end of the video, put the tap on the dynamite😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀

But you forgot portable smelters to upgrade it. You can upgrade so much though the game with late/mid game items

Hydrocarbon replacing wind, solar and nuclear. That delicious irony.

I NEED THAT PRE-ALPHA FOOTAGE IN THE GAME!!! RN!!!

You can put like 10 tappers on 1 tree by the way, and it doesnt slow anything down

TheFatRat - Infinite Power!

You forgot to say that organic resources give 50 bits when researched, you just have to unlock the large platform B, the autoarm, the research chamber and the tapper to have enough bits per second that you won’t need to leave Silva (you’ll need a ton of research chambers, but that’s easy). Also, the research chamber takes 5 minutes to research an organic resource, the remaining organic resources can be used as fuel or to make glow sticks and then scrap to trade for extrasilvan materials. You just need to leave Silva for gases, galastropods and to end the game.

You can put alot more small generators on a medium storage so you dont need a furnace it is easy to craft and tou only need 1 arm dont use medium generators

Cinnematic af i like it it like a movie

It is not mandatory to use them. Play as you like. There is even creative mode. But an entertaining video it is.😊

This broke the game, but this one of the bugs that I don’t whant a correction patch

I ran a similar setup. Running 2 platform b's ya can run 8 generators off it. But tapper isnt restricted to one tapper per plant brother. I put 4 on the one plant....

I'm just going to ignore this ever happened. I'm not going to waste my time tapping trees for organic. It's just not going to happen.

I expect they’re gonna nerf the tapper soon and maybe make it work a lot slower or work only on a few wild trees

im so pissed because i have a 4 story building with 42 RTGs in each story

Wind isint still that bad Xl wind creates 17 energy on glacio its op xl=the huge amount of wind small winds that you put on a silo

Why when I stop playing for 2-3 weeks there's a new massive update

He’s back back again

HES BACK YEAAAAAAAAAA!,!!”

How many updates did i miss?

Have you ever played Rust? I saw you played Unturnerd

I just played 20 hours of this game, and don't understand what the point of building a factory is. There is no massive structure you build towards. why make a factory that can output thousands of items an hour, if you have no use for those items? Like what do you all do when you got all this production pumping?

Does this item work on atrox?

rtg but nature??!??!

They are doing their very best to break the game. But you would think that the Devs would have been able to spot this obvious gaff

W

I hope they nerf it infinite of any resource is broken

not a big fan of the style change, like 1/3rd of the video is transitions for something that could be like 5 minutes normally

New vid 🎉

how da fug you still play astroneer

Escario alert!

Hi

your mom

Bro i found a medium generator on the surface

Hi
