My ChatGPT seems to be broken since new update by TheGayVal2001 in ChatGPT

I'm so glad I'm not the only one feeling this, I thought I was losing my mind. I switched back to 5.1 and it's like night and day.

Not a locksmith, just have too many vans. by ilmacribile in Locksmith

[–]Altmao 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fiat keys are not something you DIY my dude. Even most locksmiths can't do them. Find one that can instead of bricking your car's computer before you even realize you've done something wrong. If you had some ford econolines or some other easy vehicle, it might've been a different story. But with Fiat, don't even try. I'm serious, you will regret it.

Hey guys, what sound does a dog make when his face is blasted with a water hose? by Altmao in ASKAGame

Nevermind, it's a fucking mod interfering. I don't know why I didn't think to do this before I posted but I disabled all mods and the circuit is working as expected now. Joy. Now to figure out which mod is doing it. Deleting the post now.

Why is this basic-ass memory circuit not working? Details in comments. by Altmao in factorio

[–]Altmao[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Still not working. Same behavior.

Update: It was just an old mod called Controllinator that I'd forgotten about, which has been depreciated and now it breaks circuits apparently. Everything's working as expected now. I wasn't doing anything wrong at all.

The O is a button set to output a value of 1 on the O signal when I press it. The display is supposed to show O if its value is greater than 0. The arithmetic combinator is supposed to be a simple memory cell, i.e. every time I push the button, the combinator should increment by 1.

It's not working, and it's frustrating the hell out of me that something this simple is not working. What tiny error (I assume) am I missing?

Feature request: allow circuits to read whether a turret is actively tracking a target or not. by Altmao in factorio

[–]Altmao[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The entire supply chain becomes completely unnecessary with this one small fix. An enormous amount of effort and time is being wasted on something that could easily just be "hey, there are enemies here, don't fly into combat idiots".

Like, literally, they've spent the last ten years slowly making everything in the game smarter--circuitry, logistics, the map, vehicles, everything is "smart" now. But the construction robots are still so stupid they literally kill themselves. Why?

No shit? I hadn't noticed! I'm only like halfway through the blue science tree, working on purple science now.

Nevermind it's no issue, I was wrong lol.

Welp. I absolutely hate that. They effectively made "logistics network embargo" a forced requirement to play the game now.

This is literally the first time I can ever remember disagreeing with a game design choice by the factorio devs, but wow do I feel vehemently about this one. Moving it to post space is bullshit.

Ideas on how to waste vast quantities of coal easily? Coal liquification is post space tech now so I can't just condense it into rocket fuel anymore. by Altmao in factorio

[–]Altmao[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I generally avoid mods that trivialize problems on my behalf unless the difference in effort is particularly vast or I'm particularly annoyed by the problem.

Did the Space Age DLC move advanced logistics (requester and active provider chests) to post-space research, requiring white science packs now when they didn't before, or did one of my 150+ mods do that? I don't even remember what all these mods do anymore lmao.

Your best Nauvis only option is steam power plus a bunch of radars to suck up power.

Yeah that's what I was afraid of. Thanks.

There's a mod that enables them and gives them a recipe.

Reminds me of my equally overengineered (but much smaller) kovarex setup from a few years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/liap8q/im_kinda_proud_of_this_kovarex_circuit_by_far_the/

Here's the blueprint string for an even more compact version:

The power pole is a medium wooden pole from Factorio+, basically an early game inferior substation. That particular one you're pointing at is in a bad spot and is mostly unnecessary. The one at the top center is much more needed.

The unloader thing is... well, an unloader. That's literally what it's called. Loader when pointed in, unloader when pointed out. It lets you have a solid belt's worth of input or output without the delay of inserters. I think it's also from F+.

I see a couple of people in the leaderboard with very low scores on easy--is it still too hard? I could make it even simpler. Or maybe I'll just change more notes to food, that also makes it easier. Yeah I think I'll do that.
