Welcome to another episode of Creative Engineering! Having just updated the signs for my members and subscribers, I’m back to building the network with Integrated Dynamics. I’ll demonstrate how the importing and exporting features work, all while bypassing the in-game tutorials. My aim is to have all the cables attached to the machines and storage units before the next episode so the network will be ready for the Integrated Dynamics displays. Stay tuned to see if I can survive and thrive in this flat-world challenge!
