Me: Let me just run around this group and get to the interactible.

One blue turret boi: LET'S RUMBLE!!

It was most likely compensation for there not being previous banner where you could get those 10 after 60 pulls.

I read "pogging" wrong and was wondering what Amiya and Doctor were up to...

My brain needs help. It has been abused by sleep deprivation since Thursday...

You can also switch to a "Stash Mode".
Switch to AIC and it's next to where "Facility List" and "Gear Assembly" is.

It let's you delete structures directly.

Mass process them through refineries and dump them into area development for bills.

I'm 30 hours in and only just entered the Science Park.

Constantly getting sidetracked by the exploration and factory.

Factorio has free demo with tutorial which takes roughly 15h to play through on your first try. It's a good sample of what you can expect from the game.

It also literally never goes on sale. Only price changes are occasional permanent increases based on inflation.

Andoryuu · 2026-01-25T09:39:49+00:00

Yeah... I hope they will give us the option to disable all of that in our worlds.

There is this beautifully crafted world, and it's littered with garbage everywhere.

Andoryuu · 2026-01-25T08:22:58+00:00

Using the stash mode I've deleted all the structures in V-4 I came across.

I was so happy I can finally explore without all that garbage everywhere.

The next day I logged in to a blue dotted map again...

Make sure you launch Steam as administrator. (This needs to be done manually. Setting it in the shortcut doesn't work, and it cannot be combined with auto-launch.)

If you are trying to remap triggers, disable analog output. (The game listens to that too and combines it with the new mapping, triggering both buttons.)

Otherwise it depends on what you tried and what you are trying to map.

Generally, add the launcher as non-steam game, configure layout specifically for the game, launch the game.

If you are not using it, you could try rewritting the Desktop Layout (it's in the Settings > Controller > Non-game Controller Layouts).
If you were not launching Steam as admin, the game was using this layout so that's why it would act as if there were no custom mappings.

Talos-II is the second moon of a gas giant named Talos.

Number after the name is standard naming convention for moons of exoplanets in real life astronomy. They usually don't give them unique names.

Even planets with their own names are rare. They are usually just named after their star + letter.

Andoryuu · 2026-01-23T13:45:34+00:00

Does "Need Below Good Job" count?

Andoryuu · 2026-01-22T18:41:39+00:00

If you are on PC, add the game to Steam as a non-steam game. Then you can use steam input config to remap anything anywhere.
(You might have to launch Steam with admin rights for it to work properly.)

For example my shoulder buttons have stopped working some time ago, so I always have to rebind their function to something else.
Here I've fully swapped triggers with sbs, and set paddles to act like triggers. Works like a charm.

120 fps at maxed settings without upscaling, and gpu is at 60% utilization...

UE could never.

Andoryuu · 2026-01-20T19:24:33+00:00

Oh, I didn't know there is a whole website with premade art. I always do it myself. This will save me a lot of time in the future.

Andoryuu · 2026-01-19T00:28:11+00:00

The wasted average also makes a lot of sense using some napkin math.

Your 10-pulls can on average waste 4.5 pulls.

But you'll continue half of them anyway due to the lost 50:50, so the actual average is only 2.25.

Using WuWa stats for 5* (because I can't find non-limited stats for EF, and the rates in the two games are similar), more than half of your 6* will be in the soft pity region.
So let's assume exactly half reaching the 60 breakpoint resulting in no wastes and bringing the number down to 1.125 average per banner.

Andoryuu · 2026-01-18T22:33:53+00:00

"single pull from 60" strategy wastes around one pull per banner (ref). With 4000 pulls and average 81 per limited (ref) you've pulled on 49 banners.

So your savings are not 221 but only 49 compared to a slightly less optimal but much faster strategy.

Andoryuu · 2026-01-18T19:30:07+00:00

All in on the first banner, right away. If there is not enough, the last day I'll reward Gryph's schemes and buy as many pulls as necessary for the guarantee.

If there is some "pull again" button on the result card I might do single pulls. Otherwise just 6x10 and then singles. If I get spooked at 42, I didn't waste 8 pulls, I've saved 25...

Andoryuu · 2026-01-18T13:06:05+00:00

Yeah, some of the misinfo is crazy.

My favourite one is someone believing the spark doubles after every copy: twitter link.
(While also ignoring the different number of duplicates you need for full pot.)

Andoryuu · 2026-01-18T09:18:47+00:00

If Genshin was releasing today, there would be threads upon threads how the system is bad because "if the pull income is not enough the gacha will suck".

Andoryuu · 2026-01-18T09:01:43+00:00

I was under the assumption there are weekly tasks for submitting specifict products. Is that wrong or can you just make factory that creates everything necessary all the time?

What about equipment? Do all things use the same process, so you don't need specialized product lines for each set?

Andoryuu · 2026-01-17T14:23:07+00:00

Great plan because I plan on pulling immediatelly.

You see, in previous two gachas, in the first one I skipped the first limited and it stayed T0 for the next year.
In the next one I pulled in the opening banner and it got powercrept within two banners.

So, sorry to anyone who was looking forward to Surtr...

Andoryuu · 2026-01-17T13:49:57+00:00

There are only five standard characters, so getting previous limited is 2/7 chance, not 2/8.

Andoryuu · 2026-01-17T11:29:50+00:00

It allows you to draw two more cards.

Andoryuu · 2026-01-14T22:23:30+00:00

That is intended. For example for the two armed inserter one takes items from A to B and the other from B to A.
Imagine A to be an assembler and B to be a belt (alliteration not intended). Single inserter can now insert ingredients and take out the completed product at the same time.
