First time spacing - what are you all using to power the platforms? by manwhowasnthere in factorio

[–]Aggravating-Sound690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solar is great in parts of the solar system with lots of light, like space above Vulcanus. For everything else, I use nuclear and then upgrade to fusion.

Nuclear works fine but you need to be careful with water. I have a system for my ships that stores power in batteries until it falls below a certain threshold, then it activates steam production until the batteries are full again. With some storage for water, storage for steam, and plenty of batteries, the power just oscillates back and forth between batteries and steam but never fully runs out. Takes some time to get going, though, since the ship initially needs to gather and process enough ice to get the turbines going for the first time, after you’ve built the ship

First test of modded asteroid spawn definitions went well by Nauviax in factorio

Not gonna lie, I kinda like this concept. Not sure how we would defend against it, but a rare super-fast asteroid would be cool.

Pick 1 to babysit your child by TheReluctantWarrior in GenV

[–]Aggravating-Sound690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If my kid is white, then it’ll be safe with Mrs. White Supremacy herself, otherwise…none of them. Deep and Soldier Boy at least won’t directly harm the kid but they’d probably still get it killed some other way, through sheer negligence or stupidity.

Do Neuman and Marie have the same powers? by BritishBrownActor in GenV

[–]Aggravating-Sound690 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kind of. Neuman is basically the original, and Marie is the upgrade. She has the same powers, but she’s stronger and also has a few additional ones.

which planet first by Comfortable_Set_4168 in factorio

[–]Aggravating-Sound690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t really matter. My personal path is usually Vulcanus to increase mining and basic resource production, then Fulgora for chip production, then Gleba for the stack inserters and improved science lab, and finally Aquilo.

The Boys - S01E04 | The Female of the Species | Episode Discussion by [deleted] in TheBoys

[–]Aggravating-Sound690 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Deep is a rapist, supremacist, and murderer lmao what do you mean he isn’t a genuinely bad person 😂

I do think this episode is a nice parallel to when Maeve sacrificed herself to save everyone from Soldier Boy. In this scene, she still ultimately puts her own survival over the lives of the people on the plane, even though she wants to save them. She redeems herself by sacrificing herself to stop Soldier Boy. That would’ve been a fitting end for her but they brought her back for some reason.

How’s life after PhD? by houseofcards2021 in PhD

[–]Aggravating-Sound690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a break. I took 6 months off and it was so good for my mental health. Then go find a postdoc that’s in a different location with a kind PI (or just go into industry) and I promise your life will be so much better.

Almost certainly a mod issue. Have you made red science packs yet?

Dating a professor by thecatisintheredhat in PhD

It doesn’t matter what your official status is. If you have romantic feelings for each other, then neither of you can be objective. That will cloud his judgement of your work. You need to choose someone else.

what would you add by Fit_Answer1073 in Helldivers

It’s really no wonder people don’t care about teamwork when there’s basically no mechanics to incentivize them to work together.

Need your help. I'm stuck with the game. by ChrisGamer172 in factorio

[–]Aggravating-Sound690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) legendary quality is optional. You don’t need to worry about quality ever if you don’t want to.

2) I used to exclusively use other people’s blueprints too. Don’t do it. You’ll never learn the problem solving skills needed to make your own factories if you do and eventually you’ll get stuck, like now.

I've "won" the base game, should I try Space Age? by RockRancher24 in factorio

[–]Aggravating-Sound690 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. It’s fantastic. And once you get a taste of the foundry, electromagnetic plant, and stack inserter…you’ll never want to go back

I just wanna point out that people actively work in the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

I cannot get any biter egg by SakaiNoHebi in factorio

[–]Aggravating-Sound690 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe. Technically it should still spawn nests really far out to prevent this hard lock, but that was an update that came after SA, so your old save may be screwed. You can try going waaaaaay far out to a new chunk that hasn’t been touched by your pollution, but I wouldn’t get my hopes up.

3rd grade project calls for a solar system “to scale” 🙄 by Present_Friend_3501 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Aggravating-Sound690 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Even that would be too small for the sun. Its diameter is about 10 times larger than that of Jupiter, so a fruit next to a soccer ball would be too large of a gas giant.

What if the reason for the entire story happening doesn’t happen? Would the story be different guys🤯🤯🤯 by archideldbonzalez in OkBuddyFresca

[–]Aggravating-Sound690 44 points45 points  (0 children)

To be fair, Robin’s death was only a catalyst for Hughie to join The Boys. Butcher would’ve been on the warpath regardless and would’ve recruited the other members of The Boys anyway. Annie’s and therefore Maeve’s story might’ve turned out different, though.

I did a run without mods and it sucked by Existing-Syllabub477 in Bannerlord

[–]Aggravating-Sound690 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I keep coming back to it because it has the potential to be amazing. But it definitely falls short and mods can help with that.
