To the dude who posted this pic, did you find out how to do do a proper screenshot yet?

>>545913021
It is a proper screenshot

Shit's just edited, dude.

Demolishers should destroy cliffs but also create them.

this works but it takes like a second to solve
i can't use the editor to step through it and debug it
i guess I can just copy/paste it like 20 times

>>545690912
my gf knows i visit egg. here is her current first attempt at egg 5 hours in.

>>545915439
Your poops shouldn't be that red. Please see a physician.

this is the "you are an AI" mod. right?
is it any good?

After playing Satisfactory once without trains, I played and finished Factorio, and now I started a new Satisfactory run to do a setup with trains.

It's just so tiresome. In Factorio you just do things. In Satisfactory, even with blueprints, it's just so much labor for no reason.

>>545917068
then why are you still doing it

>>545917068
don't play satisfactory

>>545917186
Because I just finished a basic train network and factories that produce copper ingots, iron ingots, plastic and rubber.
I feel like I'm just about to start being able to put down a factory with train inputs and get it up and running relatively quickly.

Maybe I'm just torturing myself.

>>545917374
you are torturing yourself. satisfactory is for mentally deficient "people" (redditors) and masochists. it's made by memetards who, when able to develop a game they actually want to play, develop Goat Simulator 1 & 3. unlike factorio, it's a game that isn't played or wanted by its developers. many such cases!

>>545917374
eh people enjoy worse things than you merely flattening your cock

>>545916365
it has interesting problems but also some parts that just kinda suck
like trying to set up power with solar panels on planet that only give 50 kW each and you only have spidertrons that can barely power a bot and the day is very short so it takes forever to build anything

>>545917572
Wait, it's from the Goat Simulator guys? Lmao didn't know that, this actually explains a lot I guess.

i can understand a lot of things but that unoffensively chubby woman engineer model really weirds me out

>>545915439
hehehehehe
poop.
hehehe

>>545917068
And this is why you don't play Satisfactory.
Satisfactory is to Factorio as The Sims is to Sim City.

>>545918338
>Satisfactory is to Factorio as The Sims is to Sim City.
whoa
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bO6PqquBek

>>545917898
It's not specifically from the Goat Simulator guys - that's from a different studio under the same publisher, afaik.

>>545918527
no.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_Stain_Studios?useskin=vector
Games developed:
2014 Goat Simulator
2019 Satisfactory (early access)
but I guess it was actually Goat Simulator 3 that was developed by a different studio, Coffee Stain North, which had previously done DLC for Goat Simulator.

>>545918482
Did that blow your mind?
Think about it though.

Factorio is at the planetary scale. You build production lines containing hundreds of factories and have many dozens if not hundreds of trains running continuously to feed it all.

Satisfactory is at the scale of a single island. You build production lines containing tens to, maybe - if you go to actual ludicrous 'let's process all the ore in the world in one central spot'-levels of insanity - hundreds of factory buildings in a production line. And you'll have a few dozen trains running around incidentally to feed it. (Most will actually be parked and waiting because Satisfactory's train handling is absolutely fucked and incapable of transcending basic site-to-site.)

Factorio is about solving logistics puzzles and laying out factory lines that take N in and produce M out. No matter if they're ugly - they get the job done. But mostly, it all follows regular repeatable patterns that you can stamp down repeatable using easily tiled blueprints.

Satisfactory is mainly about creating pretty buildings hand by hand, brick by brick to wrap your assembly lines into neat looking decorum.


The parallel to The Sims and Sim City is right there, staring you in the face.

>>545919371
yeah it's pretty apt.

>>545918852
Aha. That explains. I'd seen CS North credited for the main GS title itself as well.

satisfactory more like satisfagtory am i rite heheh

>>545915683
divide by bone?

>>545919784
You're wrong. Not just the point you were trying to make. You're wrong as a being.
Terminate yourself.

>>545919784
sadistfaggotry uheheh

>>545917068
Satisfactory blueprinting fucking sucks absolute fucking dick. Unless they've changed it since I last played.

>>545919784
last I checked beavis, we went by satisfaggotry around here

So if you guys like complicated logistics, puzzle solving and problem solving, how come none of you have a woman

>>545917068
Would you say it leaves you... Unsatisfied?

>>545921976
i had a few before i went bald

>>545921976
Because logistics, puzzles, and problem solving is logical. Duh.

>>545921976
It only qualifies as a puzzle if there's a solution.

>>545921384
yea, i realize now that i could design a factorio blueprint that's functionally equivalent of my end-game satisfactory base in probably less than 30 minutes. this is no exaggeration, 95% of the time in satisfactory is spent on running around and aligning buildings over and over again like a retard instead of actually solving logistical puzzles. this absolute lack of building QoL is the only reason why the game takes >80h to beat, when the entire processing chain is actually barely more complex than factorio's yellow science.

>>545922291
Just wear that bald head with confidence instead of trying to hide it or, even worse, comb it over and you're fine, anon.
Most women don't care about baldness, it's being an insecure fag who always wears a hat even when he's inside what turns them off.

>>545921976
i have a husband

>>545922291
I am sorry to hear that.

>>545922758
Hi darling <3

>>545922758
oh
an engineer

>>545922726
i'm not hiding it but it do be a fact that i became invisible to them
it's whatever honestly, i've had my share and i don't want to procreate so it seems like a waste of time at this point

boy do I need elf modules
but they are really slow to make because I don't have power...

>>545913021
I have my surface cut up into 127k good pictures, now to stitch them up automatically.

How do I kill mid worms early game? My usual tactic of spamming 150 poison grenades doesn't work.

Goodbye 10 ash a second probably going to double it but to do so I need another stone mine

>>545924941
That actually looks really cool, I like how you use those walls for decoration.

>>545921384
They've added snaping auto-connect for railways, belts, and pipes. It helps a bit. Unfortunately, in the process they also broke some other things. And anything you might've saved in the ways of blueprinted railroad systems needs to be deleted and redone, because the rail curvature has changed with that same update.

That awful throughput was sufficient and this is 1.1
There's a radio tower on the right communicating with the refinery to organize a simultaneous departure with the empty oil trains there. No need for waiting bays at either end.

>>545915439
you draw like shit

>>545915683
>implement sqrt with combinators
hmm. how would you actually do this properly without lookup tables?

>>545924928
build more pawa instead
>>545925013
not what that number means

>>545929165
Stop it it's not a poop. It's serious mod material. What do you sthink of the UPS cost of spawning cliffs all the time??

>>545927367
>so many tiles for zero functionality
this hurts me a little

Alright how can I tell how much nexelit the dinos are actually mining a second? I'm unsure I need to scale it but you know

It is now truly over, SeXbros...

thank you woodland folk
>>545929332
considering the romans could do it i don't think it is very hard
if I played around in the editor I could cut the time and number of combinators is half probably

So Stationeers, following the 2 blocks wide corridor I've placed this early base that respects the rough layout and gives us the tools to keep on building. Cooling with the 3 daisy chained AC as until proven otherwise that works fine. Some space for fabricators and the starting solar and an airlock. We should aim to mass produce steel asap to make walls and frames. as they are cheaper than iron (and look better). I don't know how much we'll be able to pull tomorrow but this much is probably doable. Might need to plan a bit further ahead.

How do you want to split the rooms tho? I'd imagine something like:
-Habitat
-Smelting
-Crafting
-Farm
-Trading
-Power
-Atmo
that's an odd number of rooms tho idk if I missed something or if power or trading are not needed. Smelting needs both zucc and pressurized rooms (zucc the arc smelter, then have gas heated by sun radiation through glass to keep the furnace hot?) so I dont think it's a good idea to put that in the same room as the manufacturing.
We'll need to plan a full pipe system to make sure the stuff goes where it needs. Also need to plan on higher than ground level frames for possible sat dish and why not turbines. For pipe we probably want a main waste and oxygen lines so we can refill/fart at multiple places. Will also need to program vents to balance the gases in breathable atmo
Also what would the room size be, anon proposed at least 4x4 and because of ratio i see either 4x4 or 4x6. I think some rooms dont need an atmosphere either, so those could have a single door once the main corridor is in vacoom

>>545929631

i needed to put 2 elf modules in tons of things
module inserter is good at filling things but not doing a specific configuration
i did one and copied and pasted it
fucked up the orientation of somethings though because i wasn't paying attention
suddenly lots of stuff missing fluids or putting it in the wrong pipe
big nightmare trying to figure out which pipe is the real one for each thing
i wish you could paint pipes a color so it was as easy to tell what should be in it when it is empty
also why the fuck is there not a good way to insert modules even with a mod?

>>545934409
Just tell your bots to do that? Create an upgrade planner.

>>545934238
Seriously, ignore the autists who will probably cry about this not being efficient - that base looks cool as fuck if you ask me.

>>545934238
what drugs were you on when making all this? it looks like a factorio fever dream with all the non-connecting pipes, long undergrounds and the most random shit everywhere

I probably could have been notifying you while it was actually still happening, but /vg/ just won the 4CC autumn cup. I'm tired and it would feel slightly odd drawing /egg/-related OC for it when Thomas didn't actually get to play in the final (he was tired), so here's this stupid piece of shit I did when he got a 7.5/10 rating for passing a lot a few games ago.

>>545927772
I got a new well and water treatment plant online. Happiness took a bit of a hit, but there weren't any mass deaths. Thank you Lenin!

7 and a half hours in, I can finally start engaging with the mod.
I hope I didn't waste them and this actually works without too many problems.

>>545934964
I know it's not efficient, i live among it and i'm all smiles.

>unlocked cliff explosives
>can't use them because the mod didn't unlock the destruction planner for them too

>>545939773
You should still be able to use them manually, by throwing them at cliffs directly.

>>545936674
alright so
1) the half yellow belt can only give 7.5 yumako, and I'm eating 10, which means I need to replace one of the yumako fruit inserters with a stack inserters to get a constant 10.1/s
2)All the plates need to be used up so the cycle does not stop
3)Heating tower is mandatory because even with efficiency modules those 72 furnaces eat like 10 megawatts and I don't know what I was thinking honestly
other than that it should work

>>545912750 (OP)
>Structural integrity
Mengies never

>>545929341
There is absolutely nothing wrong with efficiency modules.

>>545935151
fulbot

>>545947532
i don't have a body to throw them

i had to rebuild this like 5 times and it still only works half of the time
it made more problems than it was worth, like i have dozens and dozens of storage chests to hold the shit now
would have been a lot easier to just expand oil power

Boy I sure hope antimony is useful cause I built for 15 mined/sec and it came out to be a lot

Anyone wants to gift me a copy of Factorio?

>>545960984
Pirate it, faggot.

>>545961263
Hey man no need to be so rude about it

>>545961263
You totally can but that makes loading any mods at all quite inconvenient

>>545961315
pirate those too

>>545934238
pipe mod?

>>545956210
These eat a criminal amount of coke somehow how convenient

>>545956210
damn your chem must be beefy to fart out enough fuel for the miners

>>545963062
Seems stable it's going up instead of down

>>545963312
right i somehow didn't conceptualize something like making dedicated fuel
i feed all the consumers with everything burnable that's not being used up but it's just a shitty starter base and nothing works properly

Sup nerds.

Sorry for playing Satisfactory again. I felt like it was unfinished business, and I thought it would be a quick three weeks at most, but I should've known nothing is ever that easy. Rest assured, I'm never playing Satisfactory again and I'll be back to Factorio before you know it.

>>545966617
Any plans to do other 3d /egg/ games in future?

>>545966617
Based, just in time for me to keep procratinating my Vulcanus production.

>>545966617
>In November, of all months.

>>545966617
Any plans on making videos on other /egg/s? I know the majority of them are in early access, but still.

>>545932107
Looks good to me. For the starter shelter, we might want to start growing a few plants early on. Our first run started with two guys, but if all four anons show up I worry we could burn through our starting oxygen pretty fast if we're not careful. Looks like we're getting organized this time though, so I think we could get a lot done too.

>>545966617
>more satisfactory
Unsatisfactory. Unsubscribed.

>>545912750 (OP)
Did they died

>>545971790
500 dead and almost 1000 injured. Corruption and good old hubris up until the second it collapsed.
>the upper floors are cracked, sinking, and falling apart

>>545966617
Cool.
ignore everything in the fake ad except for Ghost Rider giving a thumbs up. I'm too tired to edit it.

No more walking on slow tiles. Next time I have time to play the game I get to trains I just have to get all the damn metals here to build them going to just let the dinos do it

>>545966617
Eh. Barely anything left to squeeze from Satisfactory.

>>545972151
>>545971790
Korea seems to have a culture of doing this kind of shit. I guess it's a symptom of their Chaebols having consolidated power.

>>545966617
Yooo hi.
You going to play other egg games?

>>545966617
Technically you made money making a video on satisfactory so that means by definition you are a professional satisfactory video creator.

>>545912750 (OP)
>Stationeers
is it playable yet?

>>545979584
it was playable three years ago, did they break it?

>>545949671
they are not efficient for your production
the only usecase is for early game to slow down pollution and ships before fusion

>>545979908
or for remote mining outposts to dramatically reduce their pollution footprint and therefore give you 5x more time before they get niggered by biters

>>545979908
py taught me that things that consume fuels or disproportionate amounts of electricity can benefit more from efficiency modules than other modules, usually in the form of reducing the supply chain beforehand

>Can't do shit with intermetallics until you automate fish
Random ass shit in this mod, least I unlocked burners

>>545980434
gotta use the finest food grade oils for your gearboxes

>>545979908
I think they're good enough in miners to warrant general usage
by the time you can put safely speed modules in miners, you aren't far off from filling the belt anyway with mining prod research

>>545971064

Yes, but only if you're the sort of person who reads /egg/.

>>545981292
>Yes, but only if you're the sort of person who reads /egg/.
so i need to be gaaay?
huh

why do you keep pushing this "engineers are gay" meme
or, if it isn't just you, where does this come from
I understand sailors being at sea for a long time with no women around

>>545981810
you already are, thread would be invisible otherwise

>>545981947

>>545981912
Just look at Doshington and tell me he's not gay.

>>545982406
he's very manly and smart
I think you're just jealous

>>545982463
well you do need to be either gay or retarded to have interest in satisfactory and since we established he's not retarded..

>>545966617
eww underclocking to pad the size of the factory

>>545966617
py next

coming soon to a pyserb server near you
i have not built something to this scale yet, but so far it looks pretty good
the "fuel engine" took some fucking fiddling about in order to work
it seems to me that if you dump all fuels into a sushi pipe with overflow valves, it's as if the "switching of fuel" itself causes machines to not actually perform work on a rare occasion, but still always report that they are working, so you'll never see a machine say "need fuel" but you'll also see a 5% hit to productivity that can't be explained otherwise (if your sushi pipe is switching extremely rapidly, maybe 10 times a second)
the trick seems to be to have every fuel on its own pipe with a tank as a buffer, then a pump from each fuel pipe to the sushi pipe that triggers if the fuel pipe goes above 80% and stay on until it drops below 20%
this appears to causs the fuels to build up and then go into the sushi pipe in "slower turns", causing fewer fuel switching ticks and removing the mysterious productivity loss

why can't you just mix all the fuels together into a slop with the output amount depending on the input fuel value

>>545983884
i can only wonder how much more anal py was during the dark ages of no sushi pipes

Is there a way for my cargo ships to only be loaded with the freshest stuff from Gleba

>>545984231
>no sushi pipes
how does that work?
there's no real "sushi pipe" mechanic as far as i know, it's just that if you push two fuels into one pipeline, one will "claim" it first, get consumed, then the other one will
it's more like "queueing" fluids into a pipe, except it's not intuitive which fluids will go into the pipe in which order

>>545981912
"egg" is a LGBT slang for a freak who has yet to realize he is one.
Sometimes, the joke writes itself.

I should get back to DSP and make the actual sphere

>>545966617
Hey Big Rock. Appreciate you finishing Satisfactory, it was a good watch. I hope you realise that now you've mentioned Modded Minecraft you're now going to constant asks around not just Py, but to also play Gregtech NH.

>>545983884
Whats the server up to? Haven't been on for 3 weeks now and sadly probs won't get a chance till next year due to work/travel. (if its still hanging around).

>>545966617
Hey Dosh. I like your videos. Okay thanks for reading.

Finished my pipeline connection.
Ignoring the spike where the storage tank was flushed into the market, it's still a massive increase in my export capacity. Also means I won't have to buy fuel for the tanker trucks.

>>545984436
technically there isn't but since it can happen multiple times per second we might as well approximate that it do be like it

>>545966617
>Sorry for playing Satisfactory again.
I forgive you. You have already suffered enough.

>>545981912
I think it all stems from the one profoundly weird greentext

>>545991367
>>545962921
Flow Control, the mod.

Ive tried something with atmos. I'm not convinced, i think this is energy inefficient. I also need to understand/find a better way how to deal with hot gas to be purged. It would be better to not mix hot and cold at all but I dont know how to do that. As a comparison the single AC in the back went from 127°C to 70°C while heating the gas from 127°C to 185°C, I stopped it there at a temperature differential efficiency of 7%. One AC consumes 10W while the valves each go for 100W, so using the 3 daisy chained AC is still 1/10 of using the 3 pressure valves I have in this setting. Could probably even daisy chain 4 or 5, but I don't know if it's worth it. Maybe have an extra stage to go down from higher temps so that it would still have some efficiency at day? Or instead of having open radiatiors we have a vent pumping fresh air at night and purging it out during the day, tho i'm again on the problem of how to not mix hot and cold and the solution i have is just purge the hot out

>>545970895
>>545973169
Yeah I'll eventually get around to DSP and CoI probably, not not for another five months at least.

>>545971064
Since the session starts at sunset we should split and have a few of us go mine right away while maybe 2 of you build the starter shelter following those dimensions, then when the day comes we need to be at least in vacuum to avoid using our oxygen. Waste filtration should come first followed by smelting filtration (recover oxygen from gold but also 0°C gases) and then cooling. Need to make steel asap so have to mine lots of iron, at least one stack of coal and some oxidizers like gold lead and silver

>>545966617
the fact that he felt like having to apologize to all the satisfags like 5 times in this video for saying that factorio is a better game shows just how much of a reddit game satisfactory is lmao

>>545995439
>recover oxygen from gold
Surely that's not worth the effort as gold gives off an absolute minuscule amount of oxygen when smelted?

>>545998640

I should just link nuclear reactor inserters to a single reactor and have all the inserters work off of the temperature of just one of them, right? Otherwise they will be out of synch and I'd lose the adjacent active reactor bonus.

Just wondering if there's a better way to synch them up.

>>546010193
Be mad about nothing I guess.

>>546010212
I'd wire all the reactors together and divide the signal by the amount of reactors.

>>546010472
I mean. They're adjacent so the heat values travel between them anyway, right? So they're all gonna be basically the same temperature. It's just the slight delay in when the fuel goes in that will keep them out of synch and lose the bonus.

2 space rows exist because otherwise i'd just be wasting a bunch of space for no reason

In general, a 2-legged vertical posture with at least one knee joint, flat-bottomed feet with ankle joint, hips and spine to balance etc. are just a good flexible way to get around. The main two problems with giving robots legs are a) acceleration, and b) balance. Both of these are possible, just difficult to program on a platform that's not been evolving towards it for upwards of a billion years.
Wheel are nice and all, but nature doesn't have a very high percentage of flat debris-less ground to work with.

An actor in a suit.

I never got to use the jetpack because I got my taste of the game before it was added but I can't really see how it would fix the primary annoyances of FPS item placement.

probably 50% of that video was dosh placing pipe, which is good television because with it sped up in that way it's a lot of movement and has that kinda satisfying "watch the bits fit together" feel but I also feel like laying pipe is actually 50% of the runtime of the game. You can know exactly how you want something to flow but it'll take you a long time to actually tell the game to make it happen. Whereas with Factorio you very quickly learn how to force-multiply your item placements through copy-paste duplication.

>if i want to become a tank driver in the army, can i learn by playing war thunder?
Kind of. You could learn a lot but obviously not everything. Pilots learn a lot from flight simulators before flying real planes, how would this be any different?
Mechanical eng might be a bridge too far though.

>>546040810
as a tank crew war thunder and world of tanks have very if no teaching capability. Arma and Squad bring it a bit closer, they actually have nice handling. Steel Beast and GHPC are more like what you'd want to learn at least a bit
Anon can learn some engineering stuff tho, you just have to play the right game. You're more likely to learn how to fly playing DCS than warthunder but you wont get a license just by playing a sim

Meanwhile KSP is quite educational towards orbital mechanics but you will learn absolutely none of the real math that actually makes it function.

On the flip side of the equation you have something like the Magic Band from didney wurl where they spent a billion fucking dollars and overhauled their entire park systems in order to be forward thinking and make a cutting-edge and seamless future-proof system, only for the system to never work correctly and ultimately perform worse than the Windows 2000 computers they had running Fastpass terminals.

>how do you account for the rocket part return from the rocket itself
I simply live with the pain

>>546052419
If you just send the perfect ratio of rocket sections and capsules you'll usually accrue a surplus of capsules due to all the other incoming rockets bringing vulcanite or cryonite or water ice.

>>546053160
I usually solve that problem by shoving the capsule in with the export if necessary. Easier to solve a capsule surplus than a section surplus.

>>546052065
I'm not convinced that the upside of only needing one rocket (as opposed to each planet having its own resupply rocket) is worth the downsides.
On the other hand, it's sweet.

Factorio is a game about finding your own way and making your own choices. On Gleba you get to choose between using tesla turrets or uninstalling the game.

>>546063782
I didn't ever even get attacked on gleba. I went around and destroyed all the pentapods in the two lakes around me and they've never really moved back in quick enough to do anything.

Have a friend who has factorio but not Space Age, is there a way to just pirate space age? Most sites seem to have a download for the entire game + space age. It's treated as a mod after all, but can't be actually found on the mod portal so can't use the re146 thingy.

You can use skulls as a source of carbon in the chemistry station. I think you can make stun pills with them.

>>546066339
>It's treated as a mod after all
this only exists to let you play without it if you want
under the hood space age is built into the executable, you can't just pirate it by adding it to your mod folder

>>546076824
I can't attest for everyone but at least of a few of us do know what we are doing sometimes.
It does also help to have some minions to do stuff, inside, outside, and at the same time (see multi-threading)
We have only restarted Vulcanus once, but I and 2 others have played on Europa.

hmm is it possible to read a chest or a tank maximum capacity?

>>546080173
Nope. Gotta set that shit manually or with parameters

I think most of us have our own single-player saves. It would be good to get some experience living on a planet where the air has multiple different ways of killing you; but general experience is also good.

>laying pipe

are there any good mod manager mods? Basically just want the ability to save presets.

>>546087170
make a savefile and it'll save the mod list for it

>>546087170
For what game? If Factorio, save files already have this built in.
When loading a save with a different mod list the game gives you the option to sync your currently loaded mods with the last mods used with the save file.

>>546087431
>>546087439
oh wow it's almost like the game is good
alright, thanks. I guess it'd be nice for making new saves but I don't think I'll be making enough of those with different mod packs for that to be an important usecase

fuck man i just wanted a mod to segregate pipes and make em not autoconnect if they're of different color

>>545984430
At least a couple options.
(1) remove excess (above one rocket load) from logistic network, with inserters filtered for rottenest. Only the freshest will remain, and get automatically loaded into your automatic rocket silo.

(2) circuit contraption where you use a dummy rocket silo to read orbital requests and loading from a cargo wagon into a dedicated (non-automatic) rocket silo, with inserters filtered for freshest.

What's the point of big avenues in commie cities if barely anyone has a car

>>546092783
Big trucks

>>546093865
A single lane would suffice then

>>546094063
Bigger trucks

>>546092783
The only big avenue is the one going to the border, and it's flanked on both sides by logistical and construction infrastructure. There's a lot of trucks there. The city runs fine with basic roads.
Also, you CAN build a car-centric city in Soviet Republic, it's just that you need to import or manufacture the cars at your own expense, and manually place parking lots and car dealerships for people to be able to use them.

As I see this, gleba as a first planet is perfectly viable.
>>546065393
This. I only got the achievements for attacks once at ~1 million science and the two singular tesla turrets I had there took care of the stompers. My entire gleba base was just this.

Be kind to zooming with your index finger. You'll never know when you'll miss it

if you've got side buttons, you can always rebind them temporarily to replace the scrollwheel

>>546109221
>just play DSP instead
No.

>>546112393
this is why you always have some backup shitty mouse, extra points for it being wireless so you don't have to bother re-wiring it until you get a new one

>>546112393
I would coom if there was a good mouse where MMB lasts over 10 years.
I used to use a trackball with a dedicated MMB but this isn't a mouse. Honestly I would love a mouse where MMB is separate from the wheel. I use three fingers on LMB/wheel/RMB so I always have access to MMB.

>>546116917
>10 years
bruh

>>546117120
What, you change mouse every 2 years? That's fucking consumerism. Ignoring MMB, mouses tend to last decently. All MMB life problems would be solved just by separating MMB and wheel.

RIP pyserb

>>546116917
haven't had mouse3 fail yet, it's always left click becoming unreliable/doubleclicking
replace the switch with one from the drawer and it's good for another 3 years

>>546116917
>>546117556
That's strange, most of my mouse develop the double click problem on mouse 1 long before a middle-mouse problem. The two mice I've had where the middle mouse failed was because it was the mouse I used on the porn computer and I was probably using it with a gross hand.

I dunno, maybe our "work flow" is different.

middle finger feels weong if you grab your mouse by the midsection, you're adding more strain to your wrist

>>546129563
sorry but it is true and i have to conclude that you don't know shit

>>546129691
how the hell do you not get tired of flipping your index finger from lmb to the wheel and back over and over again

>>546129691
it just feels wrong because you didn't grow up doing it, I primarily control it with my thumb and pinky for small movements with my wrist for larger movements, never have to adjust my grip and can manipulate every button on my mouse naturally. Serves me well in shooters from CoD to slow mech games, RTS, and well basically anything.

>>546116917
I always bind one of the thumb buttons as MMB.

>>546130552
Nope, custom sensitivity and in every game I play because I know how to tune my aiming settings and am not a retard.

I genuinely never thought about it at all before this conversation started, now I'm getting that "manually breathing" feeling. It'll go away in a bit.

>but-
Why you have yellow belts? Upgrade already!
Your brother already upgrade to blue belt, you shame famiry!

>>546130720
alright but it still must be in the very high and thus suboptimal range if your larger movements are done with merely the wrist

>>546131407
For shooters I usually customize my settings around 1000, but I go up to 2400 for general browsing and for games like Factorio where I don't need the accuracy. I'm not trying to join the aim community or win cash prizes for e-sports bro, I've got no need to eke out what tiny percentiles might theoretically be gained by adjusting a grip. You overvalue it.

The index is stronger than the digitus medius. Since the mousewheel sits equidistantly from each finger, pressing it using the index is the objectively stronger decision and anyone can feel this fact in their hand right now.

some wankjob deleted the moss from this farm so we get no antimony pulp and therefore no complex circuits

>>546047242
Understandable, since it seems this is a fork and is not under the purview of the original author.

>>546153857
whoops.
maybe rerout the wood from some other source or just slap down few mosses/rout it from the bottom moss farms. Removing the moss from that was an accident I thought I was just getting rid of the vrauk setup but evidently I messed up along the way

the issue is time is of the essence in the early game, so we have to rush to do the important stuff like hydroponics filtration and temperature. We actually had to restart, we were completely fucked in last save. We went though oxygen real fast for some reason here but at least we can trade for ice now.

Here's the plan of what happened roughly vs what was planned, i didnt catch all the last stuff. Some stuff needs to be moved but we're doing okayish i guess. We have one week to develop this plan to something more workable

all the inventories are way too fucking small even in vanilla so fair

Took a bit of a break from factorio because my decision to rebuild the base starting from the science down to circuits on top of the previous base as it get dismantled was a terrible idea that fried my brain as i couldn't make sense of what i tried to accomplish, i'll need like 10 belts of green to substain the red and blue alone and only now do i realise how much space my design take and how little i have
My two options is fuckload of foundations to build it on the lava field to the west or go further, kill those worms and build it there while dragging 10 belts across said field

I've also decided to make the mall a separate small scale self-sufficient base, although i am fighting for my life against the insane intrusive thought of belting all the mall production into warehouses close to the launchpad

>>546155416
Yes. I wanted to remove the wood build too but I looked at it and decided to leave it, I just cut the moss off by accident since I thought it only went to the old vrauks.

The maps with wide expanses of water and islands between end up with really interesting currents and mixing/non-mixing of flows
Those water wheels are actually going in different directions since the outflow from the dam spreads out before hitting the river current and turning back

>>546104486
Yeah I'm pretty sure they make heat. I'd vacuumed out my "server farm" due to everything getting hot, but when I allowed base atmosphere in the batteries caught fire. Which I then reverted. Leaves me in a bit of a conundrum...
>gingerly pop the hood
>nothing happens
The 'pedia says flashpoint at 100°C, auto-ignition at 300°C. I think I would have noticed if it got that hot, it was only like 180°C peak. I don't think buildings have a hidden temperature variable.
But on Mars, cooling shouldn't be too hard.

Our goose is so cooked.

regarding SE, is it worth building rail infrastructure on nauvis, or am I going to get a better source of materials after getting to space?

>Biter nest ground never goes away and neither does nuke ground.
>Paving has a pollution debuff
Is there a mod for both of those to fade out to normal?

>>546162370
I would make a rail network so you can more easily dispose of waste product from each process. Also all recipe chains end up relatively intertwined so modularity is useful.

You can solve a lot by just having a one-to-many rocket for each ingot or material type but every landing pad needs rocket part and capsule handling.

>>546162370
In my experience, I end up with a pretty big rail base on nauvis. Prod mods are very limited in space (they only work in labs and miners, and you don't mine much in space), so you still have a lot of infrastructure on nauvis.

>>546162370
Nauvis will be your primary hub throughout the entire game unless you intentionally relocate it.

>>546162370
>>546162902 (me)
oh right, you also want a rail network on every planet because the space elevator is FUCKING BASED and you can eventually transition to spaceship delivery rather than cargo rocket delivery.

>>546162554
technically, dectorio.

>>546162902
>>546162928
ok, I see
does it end up like py where you definitely want to put a wide variety of products on rails? should I use tiny trains then?

>>546163628
I definitely put everyone on trains. You want to produce all intermediates on the ground for prod and then ship them to space, and the elevator will simplify that process.

It's hard to mix ground and space trains, however, trains on the ground cannot communicate with stations in space in any way until they take the elevator.

>>546163628
I put a lot of things on rails. My land trains have 2-4 and 1-2, and my space trains are 1-1-1 (and I have bridge stations for the space elevator).

the biomass power plant was, ironically, stuck because it was producing too much biomass and not burning it when it had too much, preventing fertilizer from being made for the wood that's actually being burned
kicalk simply produce so much fucking biomass

'scuse me, any idea where to find the crashed ship's inventory in the files so i can edit it?

>>546164582
also the compost plant was stuck on disposing arthropod blood in one slot but because the first slot was kicalk it never got to it and got completely filled up, prompting everything deadlocking and us nearly silently running out of power

>>546165471
you mean the contents? because there's already a mod that edits the capacity so you can also start there.

>>546164582
>kicalk simply produce so much fucking biomass
there's a turd recipe that makes kicalks produce even more biomass believe it or not, although it gets mangled into "dried kicalk" and regular kicalk

>>546165614
Thanks for reply, i'm looking for the contents. I don't want to spawn items in my inventory, i want to spawn them in the ship at the start because it's cooler. Just wondering if anyone knew where the entity is located off the top of their head.

>>546161953
>Rejecting $12k for a VPN ad is keyed

perhaps I'm overreacting

>>546165471 >>546165614
I found it. Thanks for the reply, /egg/ is always good rubber ducky.
Right there within entity/crash-site.lua.

Coarse fraction TURD seems great because moss is a major stone sink but you can make back almost all the stone you inserted by simply using a classifier.
I waited before getting it before because TURDs cost x10 as much but now it's a no-brainer

>>546168239
>make back almost all the stone
if making stone is something you want, what's wrong with iron plate -> iron stick -> sand extractor?
i've started using that for everything, since you generally need very few iron plates, you can put prod modules at each point, and iron plates are dirt cheap
YAFC's mysterious "costs" suggest that it's drastically cheaper to convert iron plates into stone like this than it is to actually mine stone

>>546168791
>if making stone is something you want, what's wrong with iron plate -> iron stick -> sand extractor?
because bröther that recipe is unlocked deep into CHEMICAL SCIENCE and I'm at fucking LOGISTICS.
Mind you that's not a bad idea but maybe in like, 200 hours.

>>546168239
I've been using stoneless moss just fine (I'm a few hours away from logistics)
moss turds all seem really fucking bad, maybe I'll choose something when I centralize it in the Real Base but they all seem to brick me in one way or another right now

>>546172593
>I've been using stoneless moss just fine (I'm a few hours away from logistics)
You have to effectively use x2.5 times the number of farms to get the same output and it's ubiquitous in auogs, vrauks, manure and substrate. You need tons of the stuff. It's not really a limiting factor per se but it's a much bigger acreage of moss farms to get the same result.

>>546127564
lol felt the same way

>>546173386
I think it beats tying something as fundamental as moss to stone production, especially since I picked co2 moondrops I can effectively grow moss out of thin air
the buildings aren't really expensive in terms of materials or power either
that said my perspective will probably change when I will need substantially more of it

>I think it beats tying something as fundamental as moss to stone production
Stone is plentiful and can be printed out of pitch, which is created at a surplus to a point if I don't void it my base gets bricked and is much easier to move by pipe than belts. It's just that the 10/s input required is a bit taxing.
Moving stone from the outposts via caravan instead of smelting it into bricks for x20 compression is also viable.

If you void it via that path, your base inevitably also gets bricked.
Just a different kind of bricked ...

tbf, all of the indian coworkers I had in 2015 were quite competent and fairly pleasant to work with. By 2020 it was very different, but back then indians had a pretty favorable opinion in the west.

Yeah i rigged a quick setup with a medium radiator and a wall cooler that is logic activated. Mars is pretty lenient overall. Batteries seem to always leak voltage (more if low pressure/temp) as heat

I know some decent indians irl but that shit is the rarity

>>546175292
didn't think about using pitch as liquid stone and printing it wherever there's demand, interesting approach
I have almost zero demand for stone. it all gets sent to be voided into landfill, including whatever I make from pitch since it's just a byproduct to keep tar refining going for me

you can make multiple mod-list.json, but there isn't a command line switch to select one
there is however a --mod-directory
so i have one directory that has my base mods (ratecalculator, bottleneck lite, etc)
then I make a copy of it
rename it `<modname>`
add the mods for that set
then run with factorio --mod-directory and it uses the mods only in that directory
i end up with multiple copies of the mods which kinda sucks
also every time you launch a different set it re-calculates the sprite atlas which takes forever
but it kinda works for managing different playthrus with overhaul mods

>i end up with multiple copies of the mods which kinda sucks
ACKshually, on linux you can use `cp -l` (l as in L, not i) to make hard links to files so that even if there are multiple file entries on the filesystem they will all point to the same inode, meaning that the physical drive won't have to contain extra copies of the same file. you can then combine `-l` this with `-r` to copy an entire directory and make hard links to all the files in it, which could be useful for managing mod sets directories
not that this would ever matter in this case because mod files are relatively small but w/e, i had to sperg out

>>546184753
you can hardlink/junction in windows too
or i could use a real filesystem that does dedup like zfs
but none of that excuses the dumb fucking furry not making --mod-list

can i somehow address all of these sorters individually to tell them what to sort or do i need to connect/disconnect them one by one. flashing sorters kind of sucks

>>546185229
>but none of that excuses the dumb fucking furry not making --mod-list
i'm all for hating on furries but tbf i think the problem with that would be that you would have to rewrite quite a lot of the ui to make the flag work. --mod-directory assumes a mutable directory into which you can download new mods, so for --mod-list to work properly you would have to disable mod downloading, syncing mods from a previous save, syncing mods with the server, etc. don't think it's worth implementing all that there's already --mod-directory

Have we gotten any news of how much 2.1 is going to have in terms of new content versus balance and QoL changes?

>>546188235
nothing yet they just said they've started seriously working on it

>>546188493
Fair. I'm hoping we at least get a fancier accumulator for fulgora, but I guess maybe you being stuck with the shoddy vanilla ones is intentional to encourage messing around with quality. Some kind of enhanced mag-lev train would be cool too, even just for asthetic purposes.

i just started learning the IC stuff
could you put each sorter on its own data network, attached to its own IC housing and IC along with any dummy structure that can be labelled and has a NameHash property and also attached to the IC?
then the dummy structure's NameHash could act as a proxy to naming the sorter and the IC can be communicated with as a proxy to communicating with the sorter

I think what you're supposed to do is drop down that 1GW super-reactor that you start with. Unfortunately I figured that out after getting through the solar phase.
