DmpTrkDrvr Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 If you are collecting resources to build your base, but are constantly over encumbered try this... Put the ENGRAMS of what your wanting to build on you hot key bar. .. now when you harvest rss the engram will turn white, simply click the hot key and build, all while collecting.. the reason is raw materials weigh more than finished goods.. if you build while collection it can double your harvest time and limit your unloading of pack animals... EG: A 400 weight trike can carry the materials for 8 ceilings, but can carry over 20 made ceilings.. using the engram on a hot key saves some time going into the craft ables screen every time.. GOOD LUCK P.s. Add me on xbox @ Tater Poutine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TouchedChimp Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Ive been doing this for a few days. Its very very effective. I have been shocked at how much faster I gather walls together. It has drastically sped up my compound walls construction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D4u2s0t Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Another tip, if you have the engram in your hot bar, holding the appropriate button will show you how many more resources you need to collect before building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
