So, last time, I brought all the new belts up to a junction point where I said I had one more belt to add in. This is where we'll be running that new trunk line, a little bit upstream from where the unfinished junction is.
Got the rough outline of the new trunk line laid in.
Built out the miner platforms.
And started blueprinting out the trunk frame.
I had a problem with the slopes, though: as much as I tried when I was laying down the scaffolding, I could NOT get this to rise fast enough without doing 4 slope foundations in a row, in a couple places. Problem is that I only have blueprints for up to 3 slopes in a row, since that was all I could fit inside the Mk.1 Blueprint Designer.
NOW, though, I have the Mk.2, so I just had to go spend some time making a new blueprint.
Figured I'd also go ahead and do a blueprint for a straight segment, 5 foundations long.
With that, I was able to get the new trunk branch fully finished.
How do you plan out your backlog? At this point I have lost track of where in the project you are.
Are you a project manager irl? ๐
I uhh, don't really? I wouldn't call any of this backlog, it's all forwardlog. It's just a matter of looking at the codex for "hey, what's the next item I need to automate" then planning for that and doing it.
I do have quite a bit of backlog I'll deal with eventually, when it comes to going back and up-clocking all the existing factories, and upgrading all the belts to match. But, like, there's not much to remember, there. I'll probably have to re-run some of the numbers for the older ones, but I still have the plans sitting in Satisfactory Tools. And the newer factories that I've been using Satisfactory Modeler for, I have all the files saved.
No, I am not a project manager. I am a software developer, though, there's a fair bit of crossover there, I guess.
