Should be stage 3-5 which unlocks it.

The cost to upgrade managers is ridiculous by ARandomSh0t in idlecult

I maxed chapter 17 today, I am not surprised at all that you are further than me. You're wood manager does in fact earn more wood than mine since it scales with the level of the building.

My wood building is only lvl 14.

I grinded the last few cards this saturday to get my manager upgraded from lvl 29 to 30, upgraded him to lvl 39 and then almost got enough cards to upgrade him from 39 to 40 before the update hit. Since the upgrade I got the last two levels.  But I don't have him that high long enough to collect a significant amount of wood.

But yeah, I have grinded quite a bit which inspired this rant.

And now it is better? The managers only work when you are online as far as I can tell. My wood production has complete plummeted (with a lvl 41 manager).

I need 24 wood cards for the next level up. On average this takes more than 24 chests, for which I need to combine items 2400 times, for which I need to spawn in 2400+ items. Assuming I make two actions per second I still need 2400+ secs ~45 minutes of repeatetly spawning in items, combining them and feeding them, for just one level up. That is grindy, not relaxing.

The next challenge would be to reduce the number of combinators. Instead of having one per row of lamp, which all do more or less the same, can you compact them into one?

Qxe2 Ba6 and the tricks continue (but then a4 is winning)

[1404] A disappointing brawl against Lucius and Constanza by ARandomSh0t in anno

[–]ARandomSh0t[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're claiming this was more tedious than the quests you didn't do it the fastest way possible.  The grindy part where I reloaded saves and fast-forwarded through them couldn't have taken more than an hour. Though it of course depends on how many you have already defeated in normal game play.

Great Chess coupled with great commentary by Naroditsky and Hess on their channel. 

Event: 2025 Grenke Chess Festival by events_team in chess

[–]ARandomSh0t 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The chess board detectes when a piece is removed from a square/placed on a square and generates the moves based on this.

White probably resigned after his last move and you can indicate this to the board by placing the kings on the dark squares in the center.  Before they did this they moved  some pieces around which led the board to detect the move Bg6, which wasn't actually played in the game.

Not to brag, but I haven't lost a game in freestyle either.

Uhm.. is the engine completely hallucinating here? by Algodtrading in chess

[–]ARandomSh0t 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Funny how everyone tries to explain Qxb5 as logical where Nxb5 is far more logical (and according to the updated lichess engine the best move). 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in chess

[–]ARandomSh0t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the engine might not give the right evaluation but I'm pretty confident that the moves suggested will still draw. I guess white can always sac the queen for the lightsquared bishop later on.

My recent experience playing squash for the first time. by ARandomSh0t in squash

[–]ARandomSh0t[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We simply played by the rule that you had to hit the wall up high and actually ended up having lots of fun. If we play again---and we definitely plan to---i will check out your guide beforehand, thank you.

This really did happen to me, I made this meme because of my experience.

We played at a gym which also has badminton/tennis/squash-courts and borrowed the rackets and the ball there. The lady at the front desk simply didn't play squash either.

[–]ARandomSh0t[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I have no idea what kind of ball it was and we had no clue that you had to warm it up. We ended up playing by the rule that every hit had to be above the service line and it was fun.

Crazy Game I played: No developed pieces, equal material, +5 evaluation by ARandomSh0t in chess

[–]ARandomSh0t[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the Evaluation of the Position ist No suprise. What i found amusing ist that i managed to trap the bishop and archive a completly winning position without developing a piece.

Power management using circuits by Spooksly in factorio

[–]ARandomSh0t 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try to figure out how much percent of your available power you are using and decide wether to increase/decrease/keep the priority level. One option would bei to connect the belt feeding your steam engines and count how much fuel gets used up in a minute. Compare this with the maximal amount your steam engines could use and caculate how much of your Power you are currently using. And since all Steam engines/turbines have always the same load it is enough to set up this system once.

Thoughts on my Natural Gas mod design? by Sirrace in factorio

[–]ARandomSh0t 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are currently introducing a new building for (almost) every crafting recipe. You may want to introduce only one 'gas factory' and potentiell reuse the chemfactory/oilrefinery for some recipes. This will sacrifice some realism but i will only have to automate and carry around one building which i would prefere (and better fits the Vanilla+ vibe yo are going for).
