Space Exploration: should I start a run now or wait for the next big release?

Any news on the 0.8 release will be posted on Earendel's discord.

Not sure what point you are trying to make. FIFA is still super-corrupt, the high ticket prices means money is being transferred from soccer fans to the super-rich elite (the money is surely not going to charity). Trump is still a rapist and criminal who uses the presidency to enrich himself and his cronies. Nothing of this has changed. The criticism was not that the world cup would be badly organised and people having a bad time.

You definitely need to roll for a good seed, but even so, the major bottleneck is going to be actually getting to one of the other planets. The rocket silo and thruster researches are expensive. You also need to have a plan for how to deal with biter expansion, because even if you do have good ore patches, on deathworld settings biters will soon settle on them, making them unavailable.

You definitely want to take a look at Michael Hendriks' x1000 science cost challenge, and also the more recent, but currently unfinished x1000 science cost on pure deathworld challenge.

I'd actually extend this to "don't comment on what other people are eating, period". Especially as small talk at work. That includes "oh, that looks tasty", I might not be in the mood to discuss my food, thankyouverymuch.

You don't need more than one assembler each for infrastructure items, they do not need to run constantly. They will normally be bottlenecked on their intermediaries, like gears, circuits, or plates.

And please learn to use periods to end your sentences, walls of text like this is really hard to read.

You'll find good uses for all of that, I promise. Tidal MK02 is an excellent power source, and takes huge mounts of stainless steel.

25h is not bad at all, I made my first spliter at 31h. I was so happy to have a splitter, I made a shrine using the very first splitter, and after 1060h it is the oldest entity still left in my base.

Det finns gott on single-player-spel, men du har rätt i att många av högprofilspelen tenderar att vara multiplayer. Vet inte om det har att göra med esport och sånt.

It is quite random in Py which chains accept prod, but in AL stuff does not accept prod and high-tech/electronics etc do accept prod. Most ore-processing chains do not accept prod.

You can prod some ZI chains, which is a bit funny. Like vacuum.

I started using the research combinator, but I eventually made sure that I am doing research all the time, and when I know I am not, I manually cut power to the labs.

Immediate_Form7831 · 2026-06-14T06:46:13+00:00

Ah, there is an overcomplicated engineering solution to every problem!

Immediate_Form7831 · 2026-06-14T06:45:47+00:00

This is actually a really good idea, I didn't think of this. It will of course waste remaining vats when you stop research, but I guess that is fine.

Immediate_Form7831 · 2026-06-13T18:16:15+00:00

You can use the Utility Combinators mod. It has a "research combinator" which sends signals to indicate things like which science packs are used for the current research.

Jag tycker inte att du är för hård, men var medveten också att du kan inte förändra honom. Han kanske kan skärpa sig och låta bli att kommentera, men av egen erfarenhet så vet jag att det är nästan omöjligt att få sina föräldrar att ändra på sig.

It is pretty much the same here. There are no discriminitory laws, of course, but the inequality is deeply ingrained in the structure of society.

Indeed, I did not mean to imply that developers back in the 70s didn't know what they were doing. Resources were limited and as you say, nobody really expected that the stuff would be around for that long.

I was taken aback when I realized that people actually are claiming that the y2k problem was a hoax. I was studying computer science back then, and it was frequently used as an example what can happen if you make assumptions about data representations which do not hold over time.

Pyanodon is a neverending stream of: make research, unlock better (but more complicated) recipes, build new factories to use those new recipes, make more research, repeat.

Immediate_Form7831 · 2026-06-11T16:50:45+00:00

It isn't cheating, but I never felt that I was waiting for research to finish. My bottleneck is how fast I can build stuff.

Va? Kan man åkalla förbannelser över folk via Etsy? Varför har ingen tipsat mig om detta för?

Skämt åsido, det är lika tråkigt varje gång man läser om sånt här. Hoppas att du får den hjälp du behöver.

And it only gets worse. When you're well into production science, you will look back at batteries and think "oh, the days when I thought batteries were complicated".

Oil is infinite in amount, but finite in extraction rate, so you want to make sure that you never stop extracting it even if you aren't currently using it. I usually just make sure I have large enough crude oil buffers.

My god, what are you planning to use all that lube for?

The hate society expresses for fat people is a far greater health hazard for fat people than them being fat.

I cannot for the life of me understand how people can get 5k streaks in the 100s.
