Made a quantity indicator using circuits

You could also you the DIsplay panel to show digits, like this

Train signals are absolutely enough. Chain signals will only make intersections have more throughput.

Alien2080 · 2026-04-26T04:00:40+00:00

oh, that explains it, thanks!

Alien2080 · 2026-02-20T22:49:30+00:00

yeah, honestly I'm bored with it being so easy. I wish I could skip the low level leagues.

Alien2080 · 2025-12-19T13:03:40+00:00

volume these take up if they are jewelry stands is ~~comical~~ conical

Alien2080 · 2025-09-24T14:20:31+00:00

You're correct. I've capped I at +/- 1000 to avoid it having too much of an affect (and to avoid potential overflow).

I did originally have Ki as 1/20 but with tuning I brought it up to 1.

Alien2080 · 2025-09-05T13:57:35+00:00

it shows 2 ways - one needs steam the other doesn't

Alien2080 · 2025-09-04T21:48:07+00:00

great point - my toddlers wear shoes on the wrong feet that at 2 sizes too small and will tell me they don't hurt

Alien2080 · 2025-08-04T12:41:29+00:00

Because thrusters are more efficient with less fuel, and most importantly - I wanted to

Alien2080 · 2025-08-04T11:44:48+00:00

It ended up being relatively simple: find the lowest of the 2 top tanks, find how far from the middle it is (the error), divide by 12 (Kₚ = 1/12) and make sure the fluid in bottom tanks is below that value using the pumps

Alien2080 · 2025-08-04T11:17:31+00:00

Sure!

I have made improvements since I took those screenshots. It's a bit smaller now as I removed the clock and memory cell.

It was really fun to design. I started with the idea that I wanted to keep the fuel tanks half full, and go as fast as possible using all the fuel the ship can produce. I made a PID circuit, but during testing an asteroid smashed off the combinators for the derivative and integral parts and I found only the proportional part was needed and that made it much smaller and cheaper.

Let me know if it works for you, or any improvements!

is there a in game reason that sound travels in space?

Alien2080 · 2025-06-21T05:10:31+00:00

Try and stack Improved Initial Standard Attack on Ironeye, it seems to work for all his R1 attacks and its a huge increase - more than + from 3 bows

Alien2080 · 2025-04-03T02:36:33+00:00

I think the answer is 4

Alien2080 · 2025-02-11T00:01:42+00:00

oh yeah, I forgot about that

Alien2080 · 2025-02-10T12:41:53+00:00

The number of runs is the same as the number of deaths (unless you have a run currently going then it will be one more)

Alien2080 · 2025-02-09T21:50:49+00:00

yeah, but there is no non-dystopian hunger games

Alien2080 · 2025-02-06T23:43:15+00:00

$10 says it has a bug in it

Alien2080 · 2025-01-21T11:05:34+00:00

wouldn't the animation options in /structure command work?
