This guide is mostly for beginners or people who need help doing math stuff in Dyson Sphere Program.
I'll try to keep this short:
General stuff
I know, buildings got an idle power consumption but for the sake of a little bit easier guide i'll leave that aside, because the working power consumption is here the important thing.
Every stuff/TPS is always measured for exactly per 1 Thermal Power Station @100% Power and Coal powered.
You can power 6 TPS with 1 full belt of Coal on 100% power generation.
As you probably know, the Mk.I Belt can transport 6 items/s or 360/m, i assume all belts are on max capacaty, thats the basic number im working with here, maybe i'll do an update on the guide with Mk.II or III Belts.
The other thing is, the Mk.I Assembling Machines only have x0.75 Production Speed, but i still recommend to build the assembly lines like you have x1 Speed, because you get pretty soon Assembling Machines Mk.II so you can easily upgrade it without having to delete many machines and waste space and ressources in the first place and you dont get confused by having to calculate those recipes because all recipes are based on x1 Speed.
Sorters are a bit special, you can connect sorters up to 3 Squares wide, but keep in mind that you have to half their speed per square they travel, f.e. a Mk.I Sorter is 1.5 Trips/Square/s and a Mk.II is 3T/S/s if you now connect the Mk.I with a 1 square distance and the Mk.II with a 2 square distance they will work equally fast.
Note: For the people who want to do some math themselves.
For smelting iron/copper/stone into ingots you need 6 Smelters/Belt..
Magnets --> 9 Smelters/Belt of Iron Ore.

Here is a trailer for Eternal Threads, the upcoming single-player, first-person story drive puzzle game of time manipulation, choice and consequence.
As an operative tasked with fixing corruption in the timestream, you have been sent to the North of England in May 2015, where six people died in a house fire. Prohibited from simply stopping the fire, you must instead manipulate the choices made by the housemates in the week leading up to it so that they all survive the event.
From the outset, you have free and complete reign to explore the seven day timeline before the fire. You can watch and alter the significant events from the entire week as many times as you like and in whatever order you wish. Some decisions will have only minor effects on the timeline, moving objects around the house or revealing deeper stories and secrets. Major changes however, rewrite the timeline by changing existing events, adding new events and even replacing other events entirely.
You must traverse up and down this timeline, changing decisions at different moments throughout the week so that their effects interact and combine together to save all six housemates.
However, it is not just the housemates who have choices. Each of them can be saved from the fire in multiple ways, with each outcome having a profound effect on their lives in the future. Will you just search for the quickest and easiest solution, or can you find the best possible outcome for everyone?
Ultimately, everything is about choices and consequences.
Choose how you want to follow the game’s story - Want to follow each of the six characters’ stories ‘Pulp Fiction’ style? That’s fine. Want to watch the whole thing like ‘Memento’, with the final event first and then moving back in time to see what caused it afterwards? That’s okay too. Or maybe you’re old school and just want to watch things in good-old chronological order? You can do that as well.
Watch and change things as many times as you like - Can’t remember exactly what happened in an event? Changed a decision and you’re not sure you like the consequences? That’s fine. Just pop back along the timeline and watch and change whatever you like, whenever you like, as many times as you like.
Change the past to affect the future - Setting up temporary base in the house mere hours after the fire, provides a unique perspective on events. As you look back through the timeline, past events play out in front of you in ghostly form, with the smoke and fire damaged house a constant reminder of what is to come. In addition, as you manipulate the past, the environment can be reset around you to match the changes taking place. Some new objects will appear, others will move around the house and the contents of rooms can change substantially as you change the past.
Eternal Threads is set to release April of 2021 on Steam.


PUBG's new desert map Miramar is now live on the test servers. The map adds new weapons, vehicles and unique regions which you can explore.
Here's a video that shows gameplay on the new map, including some camping spots, and a view of the different building layouts.


Blizzard have been working on some Doomfist updates in the most recent Public Test Realm patches, improving his playstyle and updating his abilities.
The full changes have been documented on a post by Geoff Goodman, the game's lead designer, over at the official Overwatch forums.
Below is the list of changes he posted:
Things that are fixed
Things we’re still working on


It looks like the Xbox One version of PUBG will be around a 30 gigabyte install.
Thanks to the retail box of the game being linked on the web, we now know the size of the Xbox One version of PUBG.
Thanks to Windows Central, the box image shows the disclaimer text "up to 30gb storage required".
Note that this figure is subject to change, as PUBG is an ever evolving game with new updates, and eventually a new map.
Although PUBG is an early access/preview game on PC, its popularity has pushed it to be developed for consoles as well.
The Xbox One version will not contain a disc, instead you will be able to download it via Xbox Live services using the code from the retail box.
PUBG on Xbox One is scheduled to launch December 12, 2017. It continues to be the #1 played game on Steam, hitting incredible concurrent player records, and outselling every game on Steam.

It's been over a year since Final Fantasy 15 was released, but it looks like Square Enix is still adding and updating the content in the game. The December update adds the ability to swap characters at anytime, as well as a few other things.
During the latest Active Time Report from Square Enix, we received a lot of new information on the content heading to Final Fantasy 15 in December.
The 1.1.0 update due to release on December 12, 2017 will add fixes to enemies missing from multiplayer quests, character leveling, and will add additional content.
New content will include Time Limited quests where players will be matched together to defeat waves of enemies with a time limit.
FF15: Comrades will benefit from improvements as well, improving loading times and AI comrades generation times.
Later in December, Square Enix has announced that we will get more information about the upcoming FF15 DLC. The next episode in the works is Episode Ardyn, who is the main antagonist in Final Fantasy 15. This new content will provide more background on the world.
In 2018, expect even more Final Fantasy from Square Enix. Including new games, and hopefully the long awaited PC version of Final Fantasy 15!


The first part of Beyond Skyrim has been released. Beyond Skyrim is a massive multi-team mod that opens the borders and brings Skyrim's neighboring provinces to life.

The Star Wars: Battlefront 2 beta will be starting this October. EA and DICE have confirmed the Beta officially starts October 6.
If you pre-order the game, you will get to start two days early, on October 4.
The Naboo: Theed map that was shown at E3 2017 will be avaiable in the beta with the Galactic Assault Mode. The Starfighter Assault Battle will also be included, and will let you pilot various starfighters from the series.
The beta will be ending October 9, and Star Wars: Battlefront 2 will be released November 17 on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.


Looks like Destiny 2 won't be having random rolls on weapons anymore.
Destiny 2 director Luke Smith told Mashable that Destiny 2 will not have random rolls on weapons.
"There aren't random rolls on weapons anymore, Better Devils is a Crucible hand cannon [in Destiny 2], and what it has on it is what it has on it. Period."
The issue here is what is the point of finding weapons if there is no variety?
“How can my second, third, and tenth Better Devils hand cannon be interesting? That's a question we should be asking and answering as quickly as we can," he added.
"We have ideas. While I would like nothing more than to share those ideas with you, we're up against [a deadline]. I don’t know if they'll make it for our Sept. 6 [release] date. But we have some ideas that we're pretty excited about."
"It's gonna give us more flexibility to do per-item tuning. [That's] something we haven't had before because of the way we were building the [first] game."
Hopefully they will find a way to keep loot interesting despite removing the RNG factor.

Although BioWare creative director Mark Laidlaw has a plan for Jade Empire 2, it seems like BioWare wants to finish the next Dragon Age first.
Because BioWare is currently working on the next Dragon Age game, this also means they can't work on other projects.
In a recent 1099 podcast with Josiah Renaudin, Laidlaw commented about the process of game development, and how there is always a choice of which games to focus on. He said market research is one of the reasons BioWare is sticking to finishing Dragon Age first.
The people want Dragon Age, so BioWare will deliver it first! But this does not mean games like Jade Empire 2 will not be made. Laidlaw noted that he already has the storyline lined up.
"You need passion, you need talent, you need the right people and the right team, and then capacity," Laidlaw commented. "I'd be a fool to say we weren't considering [Jade Empire 2].
"If someone said to me 'What would you do with Jade 2', I have an answer. I have a very clear answer in my head. But I also recognize that the majority of the leadership of Jade Empire 2, the people who are really the passionate vision holders are all on Dragon Age...Let's put it this way: Dragon Age is fairly distracting."
To the fans of Jade Empire, there is a bright light at the end of the tunnel. We just need to be patient. After all, after 15 years of waiting, Beyond Good & Evil finally got a sequel (announced at E3 2017), so Jade Empire 2 is still a very realistic possibility!


The latest free Titanfall 2 update changes the weapon loadout system to match the one from Titanfall 1 where you can have a primary, a secondary and an anti-titan weapon. Take a look at the new Titanfall 2 - War Games DLC trailer.
The update adds the remastered "War Games" map which highlights "the civilian shops, city streets, and tall buildings for window-to-window fighting from the Battle of Angel City."
There are also large, open tank facilities for hand-to-hand Pilot combat from the Battle of Airbase Sierra. With the outskirts of the map featuring a clean, VR style perfect for Titan duels where Pilots can run along the bright, interconnected wall running routes.
The War Games DLC pack also includes a free new Live Fire map "Traffic". This map "features weathered test site where pilot positioning is pitted against mobility across two busy thoroughfares. Dense cover makes every corner a threat, with room for snipers to hide in the back fields."
A few other features are included in the free DLC, including the permanent addition of the Titan Brawl game mode, and the latest Holo Pilot execution.

Turn 10 Studios is very focused on making the PC version of Forza 7 present the best possible graphical details.
In a video from the official Nvidia YouTube channel, Ryan Cooper, executive producer of Turn 10 Studios noted that they have been learning how to be PC developers.
"This is really a huge, huge milestone for us. Over the last couple of years, with Forza Motorsport Apex and with Forza Horizon, we've been learning how to become PC developers.
With this version of the game being presented in ultra-high definition 4K, you're going to get a really great sense of immersion. We're really focusing on this version. We want the game to look, sound, and feel unlike anything we've ever created." Cooper commented.
Cooper also mentioned the new immersive climate system.
"You'll get a greater sense of immersion through our collision cameras, as storms roll in you will start to see virga off in the distance, and as it begins to rain, puddles will grow. You might have to take a different drive line, and it really drives up that sense of danger and thrill."
With all of this, you might expect Forza 7 to have very high system requirements, but this is not the case as shown below.
Minimum System Requirements
Recommended System Requirements
Forza Motorsport 7 is scheduled to launch October 3, 2017 for PC and Xbox One.


The original State of Decay was a really fun open world survival zombie game that came out on the Xbox Live Arcade on the Xbox 360. A few months later, it was released on the PC, giving a lot more people the chance to experience it.
In State of Decay, you take charge of a group of survivors who try to find a new home and a place to survive in.
You can select different characters, and recruit new ones. You can establish your base and then go out exploring and scavenging for goods.
The sequel to State of Decay has now been announced and it will be similar to the first one, while improving many aspects.
One big change in State of Decay 2 will be an added drop-in, drop-out co-op mode.
The Developers of the game also stated that State of Decay 2 will feature over 1,000 traits for survivors, compared to a few hundred in the first State of Decay.
In State of Decay, traits are important for how well a character will perform in different situations.
There are also many similarities to the first State of Decay, such as permanent death for characters.
The ability to drive vehicles is also back, but this time around players will need to fill up the fuel tanks.
State of Decay 2 is scheduled to launch Spring of 2018 on Xbox One and PC.


Today we got confirmation from Shawn Layden at Sony that a PS5 will be made. Rumors of a "smartphone style upgrade-approach" are not true, and that we will get a PS5 with normal console cycles and upgrades like the Pro in the future.
Speaking to a German site golem.de, Shawn Layden commented that even though a PlayStation 5 will be released, it will "probably be some time".
What kind of system architecture will the PS5 have? Will it push for 4K/60 fps? These questions have not been answered yet, but considering the Xbox One X will have 4k/60fps on some games, it's a safe bet to assume the PS5 will go down the same road.
The one thing Sony needs to add to the PS5 is backwards compatibility. It would be great to play our library of PS4 games on the PS5 once it's released.
He also noted that there will never be a time when a game runs on the PS4 pro but not on the regular PS4. Gamers who have the original "standard" PS4 will never experience major disadvantages going forward.
This is great news to those of us who haven't upgraded to a pro yet.


Sony have put together a new trailer that recaps some of the bigger announcements of PSVR games at E3 2017.
The trailer shows titles such as Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR and Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown.
Skyrim VR will be that first foot-in-the-door of VR for large scale open world RPGs. Up to now, there haven't been any games of that scope fully playable in VR.
Fallout 4 is also heading to VR, but was not included in the trailer.
Take a look at the trailer below


The Division is getting a new update 1.7 which will introduce "Classified Gear Sets" that have higher values and gear set bonuses for equipping the set. The new gear is also tied to the upcoming Global Event system being added in the 1.7 expansion.
The new pieces of gear are still item level 256 and represent gear sets players have been looting since the sets were first introduced. The Classified Gear on the other hand has higher base stats and bonuses for equipping enough of the items.
With five pieces of Classified Gear equipped, the two and three set bonuses will be stronger. When six of the pieces are equipped, there are new themed bonuses that are applied.
No details on the actual bonuses have been revealed yet, but we know that Classified Gear set pieces will not only provide higher stats to a player, but the stats on the gear can be recalibrated.
The Global Event will begin once the 1.7 update goes live, where players will be able to earn Global Tokens that can be used to purchase Global Event Caches. These caches will have a chance to drop Classified Gear set pieces.
The more expensive a cache is, the higher chance it will have at dropping Classified Gear set pieces.
To earn Global Tokens, players will simply have to complete missions on the New York City map during the event.
As with the current patch, players will be able to select a higher difficulty by selecting a higher World Tier. With the Global Event, Global Tokens can be earned faster at higher world tiers.


Rockstar has released a statement clarifying that single-player mods are not banned in GTA 5.
After 50k+ of negative reviews left on the GTA 5 Steam page, it seems like there is finally a response to this whole Take-Two banning Open IV modding situation.
Heres the post directly from Rockstar
Rockstar Games believes in reasonable fan creativity, and, in particular, wants creators to showcase their passion for our games. After discussions with Take-Two, Take-Two has agreed that it generally will not take legal action against third-party projects involving Rockstar’s PC games that are single-player, non-commercial, and respect the intellectual property (IP) rights of third parties.
This does not apply to (i) multiplayer or online services; (ii) tools, files, libraries, or functions that could be used to impact multiplayer or online services, or (iii) use or importation of other IP (including other Rockstar IP) in the project. This is not a license, and it does not constitute endorsement, approval, or authorization of any third-party project. Take-Two reserves the right to object to any third-party project, or to revise, revoke and/or withdraw this statement at any time in their own discretion. This statement does not constitute a waiver of any rights that Take-Two may have with respect to third-party projects.
It seems like the decision around the highly controversial ban of Open IV was heavily on Take-Two's end. It also looks like Rockstar has convinced Take-Two to take a more lenient stance towards GTA 5 single-player mods.
Update: The GTA modding tool for single-player mods OpenIV is now back online!
No one can tell what this means for the future of GTA 5 mods, I guess we will have to wait and see.


Creative director of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has announced that the battle royale survival game has hit 4 million copies sold in three months.
Here's the tweet from the official twitter
3 months... 4 million copies of @PUBATTLEGROUNDS sold... Thank you all again for your continuing support <3
— PLAYERUNKNOWN (@BattleRoyaleMod) June 22, 2017
According to Steamcharts the game has an adverage players of 128,000 which is 3.2% out of 4 million, and peaks out at 231,000, which is 5.8% of 4 million. It passes games like Team Fortress 2, Ark: Survival Evolved and even Grand Theft Auto V.
At a fair price tag of $30, selling 4 million copies in just 3 months while still in early access is very impressive.
Now they just have to work on the optimization of the game. Last time I played it, it ran poorly on my decent setup.


Here are some details for the upcoming 6th free DLC for Titanfall 2.

Additional details for balance changes, features, and updates will be provided in the patch notes closer to launch. (One could speculate an overall increase in time to kill with the most recent featured mode)


There are rumors that L.A. Noire might be getting a remaster, and even a VR mode.
L.A. Noire was a game that used some really incredible face capture technology that stands up to even today's standards. Though the interrogation system could have used more work, it was still an underrated game that many skipped over due to various technical complaints.
According to various individuals in the game industry, an L.A. Noire remaster might be released as soon as this summer. Some features hinted include a first person mode and VR support. There are also talks that it might be heading to the switch as well.
Here is a tweet from a Rockstar insider
According to what I heard, Rockstar might be releasing a remastered version of L.A. Noire on the Nintendo Switch.
— Yan2295 (@Yan2295) January 15, 2017
And here's one from Direct Feed Games
Regarding LA Noire Remaster, the title is sounding like it'll come to Switch, PS4, and Xbox One. Release slated for late summer.
— Direct-Feed Games (@DirectFeedGames) January 25, 2017
Though there was no mention of L.A. Noire at this years E3, it might be because Rockstar is not ready to announce the remaster yet. In fact we might end up seeing it release in 2018.


Looks like Naughty Dog is not finished with the Uncharted series. While Uncharted 4 gave closure to Nathan Drake's story, Lost Legacy's writer and director Shaun Escayg commented that the Uncharted series will continue.
Eurogamer recently asked Shayun whether Uncharted will end with the Lost Legacy, he responded:
"I wouldn't say it's the end. This thieving world is huge. There's so many characters. Even before we settled on this particular story we were exploring Sullivan, we were exploring Cutter, and pairing each other up, thinking what would be right, what would have conflict, growth, something new, something fresh. And Chloe was the one that kept jumping out. But to say the Uncharted world is done… I doubt that highly."
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is scheduled to launch August 22 on PS4.


Take a look at the launch trailer for Sega Forever, a new service by Sega which re-releases classic video games from the company on modern devices such as mobile phones or smart devices.
Current list of games include the original Sonic the Hedgehog, Phantasy Star II, Comix Zone, Kid Chameleon and Altered Beast.
