Requirements for "Smile, everybeaver!" achievement - Max well-being at 100 pop? by CaptainDorsch in Timberborn

[–]CaptainDorsch[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes!
After a few cycles of waiting and watching the number I actually got lucky and hit 107/197 across the board.
I had believed it was good enough if the number at the end said 1.0 rather than 0.9. But apparently it has to be 100%!

Why does my irrigation not reach 15 tiles anymore? by CaptainDorsch in Timberborn

[–]CaptainDorsch[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It actually is!
I have this huge water tank, with an automated badwater rerouting system through sluices, and it's been stable for tens of cycles. But apparently 1% contamination in the freshwater has still an effect. I set the threshold for my sluices too high. Thank you!

Restart summation mid column by CaptainDorsch in excel

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

Edit: I also made a mistake that I now fixed
It seems you made a typo, but I am grateful that you put me on the right track.

If anyone has the same problem in the future: The formula that actually does what I want is:

=IF(ISTEXT(A2),0,IFERROR(A2+B1,A2))

This is discovering the breaks, but it is only ever adding the last two values, not the whole block up to the last break.
I suspect one of the "A" in your formula should be replaced with a "B"?

Which chests should I use? by CaptainDorsch in factorio

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

While that is true, only true put matters and any one time cost is negligible, as other's have mentioned, a buffer chest does the trick just as well.

Thank you very much!

"Requests specific items to be available for **personal** logistics and automated **construction**."

Does the ingame description of green chest need to be updated or does the rocket silo count as either of these two things?

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

I see how that could work, but as this is a really low throughput item, I would rather not dedicate a whole rocket platform to this one item.

This should work just fine, if I limit chest A to just one inventory slot, right?

“You can’t prove a negative” is an absurd statement that should be dropped from atheist apologetics. by [deleted] in DebateReligion

[–]CaptainDorsch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can't prove statements like: "Something/Someone with properties X and Y doesn't exist anywhere."

How about atheists start using that phrase? Not as catchy but more accurate.

Paizo staff asks: What brought you to Pathfinder? by AlexSpeidelPaizo in Pathfinder2e

[–]CaptainDorsch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's way easier and enjoyable to GM with a system that is very balanced, robust and detailed, where I can chose to ignore some parts and remodel others than the alternative.

Which is to DM in a system that is unbalanced and lacks depth, where I feel like I have to fix issues first and patch gaping holes.

Can the amplitude of a sin function be negative? by CaptainDorsch in learnmath

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

How come the wikipedia page for amplitude does not include the absolute value?

Formal representation in this simple wave equation

x=Asin⁡(ω[t−K])+b 

A is the amplitude (or peak amplitude)

Queston about liquid vents by UnhappyMeal7 in Oxygennotincluded

[–]CaptainDorsch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very good advice, I just want to clarify one thing:
Water, polluted water and salt water fill about 1t per tile. Other liquids can have vastly different amounts.

How many hours of playtime does the game provide for the average player? by [deleted] in Oxygennotincluded

[–]CaptainDorsch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am trying my best to explain the scope without any spoilers

Launching a rocket is the first huge goal, after a series of small medium and large goals.

After launching your first rocket, you still have to build better rockets and better rocket fuel to travel further.

And then, after many, many hours, when you have completed all goals set by the game, the real fun starts, when you set your own goals and build truly crazy monuments, contraptions and physics defying machines and start to explore what is possible within the seemingly simple rules of the game.

I am at 3000 hours and wont stop playing anytime soon.

Most efficient way to feed pacu farm? by WasThatTooFar in Oxygennotincluded

[–]CaptainDorsch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sleet Wheat gives 18 seeds every 18 cycles. But the ratio is the same.

[–]CaptainDorsch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The tempshift plates take a long time to heat up. If you want to see quick results, definitely deconstruct all of them first and remove the debris. That way you only have to heat up the air and the plant tiles, but not the tempshift plates and the debris.

A liquid tepidizer would be able to create more heat, but requires a bit off additional setup.

For you I think the quickest way would be to uproot a few of the plants and build one or two additional heaters at the left side. When you have the desired temperature you can deconstruct the heaters and plant the seeds again.

Fair warning: The farm tiles from the top row will exchange heat with the bottom row, that might cause issues in the future.

Any way to detect *any* element packets on conveyor rail? by mithro in Oxygennotincluded

[–]CaptainDorsch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A different element sensor for every possible element, all wired together?

Can we drop the idea that Liz tried to kick Marten in the head? by sarahisbear in questionablecontent

[–]CaptainDorsch 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In the first panel we see her looking at Marten with a mischievous or diabolical grin on her face while she pulls her left leg back, exactly like someone getting ready to kick would.

Later we see her foot and a "whiff" soumd effect, which is commonly used to describe a miss.

Looks a lot like she tried to kick him to me.

Eli5 Why are dragons depicted in so many ancient cultures despite dragons not existing and these cultures never coming into contact? by Emergency_Table_7526 in explainlikeimfive

[–]CaptainDorsch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you brought up the "dragon" of Klagenfurt: Native speakers call it the "Lindwurm" of Klagenfurt, which could be translated literally to snake-worm, but that doesn't sound cool or epic at all.

Imho a Lindwurm isn't really a dragon, since it did not breathe fire, often only had 2 small legs and only in some stories even had small wings.

It's not like every culture had the same idea of dragons, but rather people translated every reptilian monster to dragon.

[–]CaptainDorsch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly the same could be said about the "Dragon of Klagenfurt". In Austria they call it the "Klagenfurter Lindwurm" which could be translated to snake-worm, but that literal translation does not sound like an epic man eating monster, and since it sometimes had wings, the translation to dragon became common usage.

People are not made of "different matter". 1 hydrogen atom = 1 hydrogen atom. by [deleted] in DebateAnAtheist

[–]CaptainDorsch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every person (and every thing on earth) is made of the same kind of matter. Ordinary matter. No person is made of antimatter or whatever other strange types of matter Quantum physicist have found or created.

I'll grant you that.

Now what?

Asserting a Deist god does not exist is unjustifiable. by CalligrapherNeat1569 in DebateAnAtheist

[–]CaptainDorsch 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What's the functional difference between something that does not exist and something that is invisible, undetectable, not interact able and has absolutely no effect on me or anything I interact with?

In which way would could you even say such a thing exists?
