I could not believe my eyes when I saw this. If I recall correctly, I got a total of 8 diamonds from that ore vein hanging over the pool of lava.
In preparation for the upcoming goals, I decided to made a bunch of improvements and complete a rock crusher to progress to higher tier machinery.
The automatic miners in reality are very slow. The rock crusher needed diamonds to be crafted and miners only yielded some. I decided to invest another trip down with the tunnel bore in hopes of finding more iron and diamonds—that turned out to be a lucky success as I found a motherlode of diamonds in a lava cavern not far off the newly drilled tunnel.
I needed the rock crusher to make light engineering blocks for the industrial squeezer and diesel generator.
In the meantime, my settlement is in chaos. Buildings are cluttered close to each other because when I started out, this was to combat threatening monsters lurking around at night. But the place is much more secure now, so that’s the least of my worries. On top of that, I designed most of the buildings to accommodate the current technology I built them for, but the newer technology makes everything look messier or out of place.
I’ve tried a few strategies to organize them, but they all suck. It just seems that I need to move on from my original starting area and to the outer area—where everything is untouched and waiting to be utilized.
I’ll probably do this by slowly abandoning the old area and build newer, more modern facilities outward. The first buildings in the old area will be most likely be combined with the greenhouse to make the Agricultural Research Center (ARC) I’ve been wanting for a while. The workshop will be moved to the lab. An electronics factory and metalworks is definitely on my list as well.
