Universal Builderment (by Builderment LLC)

My phone says 33.5 hours, but that wasn’t all active. Sometimes I just let it run

 

A Discord message from Builderment developer:-

“Hey all, it's been a little over a week since release and the response/feedback has been nothing short of amazing . I'm listening and reading (almost) everthing even if I don't reply. So here's a short list of what to expect in the next few updates:
* Tool tips to show recipes for how things are made.
* Ability to have multiple games with random world generation.
* iCloud saving/syncing.
* Update controls to make certain actions easier.”

 

Totally addictive, and even though I am at the "seeming" end, I am still tweaking and running new lines, creating new zones for certain basic productions.
I think you have to leave it open to keep it chugging, with no screen off, but under its lower-power graphics mode, that is fine.
Would be nice to put markers on the world to see where problems are, or just for reference.

Also - statistics on lines running, to get them as efficient as possible, would be really neat. Some sort of counter on a line, a switch, etc.. to measure flows.

Do crimps or bends in the belts cause added delays? instead of creating 2/3 curve switches manually, for example, it would be great to give each side of belt switch a percentage instead of just even splits built-in now.

overall a great effort ! i think it forms the basis for something much grander.

 

Now updated to include -

Option to restart.
Long press item to view recipe.

Now seems a good time to restart and turn my tangled mess into neatness and efficiency.

 

Does restarting delete the prior game?

I think I’d like to be able to keep old games

 

At present previous games are deleted, though the ability to play multiple games, along with random maps, is planned for future updates.

 

Amazing game for the iPad. Here are some views of my world currently. Copy/paste feature is key.
Just wish it would run when iPad off. Or otherwise pretend it was. Doesn't seem very green or secure to leave my iPad unlocked and running for hours at a time.
Oh, and I need a game guide or build tree. Has anyone made on for themselves yet? Will you share?
Thanks, devs. Love it.
Sorry if I posted the images wrong.

 

Neat layout @Nervid. Looks like an integrated circuit!, and impressive use of storage facilities which must be helpful in later production stages.
I agree it would be better to also run with the app closed, although those types of idlers often need permanent internet connection.

Did you notice with the last update that a long press on individual items will show the build tree?

For a complete overview I use Sadgi’s build tree which is not 100% accurate but close enough to work with.

 

thanks so much for that info. Long press will be very helpful.

 

I've captured a bunch of images and composited them into these two images:

- Construction Buildings and Recipes


Visual Build Tree for Super Computer

 

Thanks @Nervid for assembling those recipes together. I’ve copied those to work with. Also useful to have an overview of which products are made in each building.

 

Does anyone know how to get sand?

 

Stone through a Workshop produces sand.

 

Will this game ever be for purchase? This is the kind of game I would love to see more of on mobile devices and the creator deserves some money for it. I would pay $5 for this game easily.

Also, when will random map generation be implemented? That is the only thing keeping me from playing this game on 3 devices at once.

 

You can purchase gems in the store to support the game. The developer advises that random maps will be available as soon as he can get them working reliably.

 

Ok, I've searched the web for a good long while, and it has led me here. My question is, how do you build a four-way conveyer belt? It is only allowing me to do a three-way. Even then, that is hard?

 

If you have not tried Factorio you don’t know what you are missing …

 

I hate not knowing what I’m missing
