One thing I think a lot of people missed was the tech "Sesamite Mutation". Because they don't show the actual recipes properly in the game, it looks like it's maybe OK... but oh heck is it overpowered. It lets you turn 1 iron chunk into 2500 iron ingots, 1 copper chunk into 2500 copper ingots, 1 atlantum chunk into 2500 atlantum ingots, or 1 steel mixture into 100 steel ingots. There are a few other tricks too, like the infinite advanced processor cycle (use the crusher to make 1 relay circuit into 25 advanced circuits, and a mk2 assembler to turn 50 advanced circuits into 4 relay circuits) that can drastically extend the resources at your disposal. The downside is that the really good options all seem to go through the crusher, which can quickly cause too much lag for the world to be playable. Still, if you have a really beefy machine you can scale up a lot, or if you're closer to a potato then you can just set up a small number of them and go AFK to let it slowly process ridiculous amounts of material for you.
I made the 1000 8000 and the 32000 cubes... What is next is impossible. There is no way to finish the last task. There simply is not enough resources in the world to make 12,800,000 cubes. I thought I would try and see what it would take to finish this task and found no way of making some of the iron and copper items in the numbers needed. Carbon and sesamite you could make entire factories to meet these needs with the carbon being some crazy recycling system.. Needing 204,800,000 reinforced iron frames witch is 4,096,000,000 iron frames alone not going into copper needs. There is not enough iron to finish the game. Unless there is someway of making iron from something I just don't see..... Make the 1000 and call it game over...
Yeaaaah that 1000 cubes one is the formal ending of the game. After that it's just a matter of giving you a goal to work towards in case you want to build a larger factory. But 12.8M cubes? That's.... not gonna happen I think ;)
I'll miss Techtonica. they've already announced that further production (and funds..) for the game has stopped, so the bugs and quirks that are present are here to stay. At least they were able to bring it to a close.
I have been fortunate enough not to get any bugs so far but even so i still think its an amazing game and wished they did continue it but i think with factory games they are quite restricted in expanding especially with other games like satisfactory , the planet crafter, dyson sphere, the crust (Buggiest game i have seen so far)
Yeah I'm sad they ended working on it, giving how much it has going for it. It's not a perfect game, but it brings a few fun elements that are rare in these games - like a pretty good story. I also kind of liked the elevator mechanic (although the sprawling map that was in early access had its own merits)
WARNING: Minor spoilers in this one, as the last few tasks are rather related to the story!

Thank you for the series it was amazing what will be your next series ?
Thanks man!
