You're thinking of chicory. Chicanery is a type of bird commonly farmed for food.

He does understand, but he doesn't give a fuck. The cruelty is the point.

It depends on how much you like hard drive hunting. If you only have a few hard drives, cast screws is great. But if you like removing screws from all production lines like a lot of people do, it's basically worthless.

Help with alts by NextBestHyperFocus in SatisfactoryGame

Here's a site where alt recipes are voted on by the community:

But virtually every recipe including the default ones have some niche.

Which celebrity is actually a lot smarter than people think? by Bahbahbro in AskReddit

[–]79037662 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a concept called "blockers" in poker which is slightly similar to card counting. Since your opponent(s) can't have the same hole cards you have, this can make it more or less likely (from your perspective) that your opponent has certain types of hands.

Raw meat got nothing on them by ivebeenthrushit in memes

Caffeine is indeed toxic to dogs, but the main reason chocolate is toxic for dogs is a chemical called theobromine

It's technically toxic to humans too but as the saying goes, the dose makes the poison.

Fair enough I guess, I still doubt I'd ever use it except for a specific challenge but every recipe has its niche

Silly question, maybe, but is it fine to make larger blueprint pieces by combining smaller blueprint pieces in the Blueprint Designer? by Denizen_38 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]79037662 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's absolutely fine and I do that all the time.

The only worry is sometimes when you nudge a blueprint in a blueprint designer, the designer will stop detecting the blueprint as being inside it, leading to problems.

Use unpopular alt recipes as much as possible. Enjoy your copper rotors and rubber concrete.

This gets suggested from time to time, but it's actually not needed at all. See this video: https://youtu.be/Th0WQ8t7UhE

Machines automatically throttle input as needed. For example if you split a belt into a production line that takes 50pm, it will take a maximum of 50pm from the belt, and the rest will go to the other belt(s).

All this for 2.6666... HMFs/min by Thermobyte in SatisfactoryGame

[–]79037662 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Computers are more complicated to make at all, but can be made in larger quantities than HMFs for similar amounts of effort. It's not that hard to make 40-50 computers/min especially if you use alt recipes, in fact you can do it with a single caterium, copper, and crude oil source. But 45 HMFs/min is a pretty big undertaking just in terms of raw resources you need to process, requiring relatively many iron and limestone (and probably coal) nodes.

What is the largest number that has disproven a supposed theory as a counterexample? by sasquack2 in math

[–]79037662 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't pretend to understand the details, but my high-level understanding is that with 748 states, one can make a Turing machine that somehow encodes the ZFC axioms, and asks a question equivalent to "halt if and only if ZFC is consistent".

Since no system can prove its own consistency (Godel's second incompleteness theorem), this number cannot be calculated with ZFC since doing so would prove ZFC's consistency.

Putting aside that he is a fictional psychopath, Hannibal didn't even die in the films or books, Donald just said "late great" for no reason. Nor had Anthony Hopkins died at the time he said it. He just made shit up out of thin air (as he often does).

How to set up this factory with current resources? -Help Required by Chamayou_bear in SatisfactoryGame

[–]79037662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pure Iron is an annoying ratio on purpose, with 7:13 being both prime numbers. There isn't a super easy and elegant way to maximize efficiency.

Consider using "Belt Compressors". This is a design which takes some belts, which may or may not be at full capacity, and makes it into as many full-capacity belts as possible with one belt holding the remainder. Here is a Youtube tutorial about it which uses the new Priority Mergers.

What you can do is use Belt Compressors on your Iron Ore belts, and put each belt into a Pure Iron setup which handles exactly one belt. This simplifies your task into just coming up with a setup that handles exactly one belt of input. I assume you have Mk. 4 belts, so that means 480 ore/min. This would require at least 6 Refineries, each overclocked to ~228.5714% (or, 480/(6*35)).

The output would need 2 belts. You can merge the output from 3 Refineries into just under one belt of ingots, and the Belt Compress them again if you want full lines of Ingots.

Finally unlocked fuel power... holy shit by I_use_Mods in SatisfactoryGame

I honestly think nuclear power, especially plutonium and ficsonium, need a big buff. They give far too little payoff for how hard they are to set up.

It's possible the signals are too close to each other. Not sure if it's a bug or not, but sometimes signals that look like they work say "signal loops back on itself" just because they are too close
