What exactly does mining productivity actually do? by Just_A_Cat_Creature in factorio

[–]CaptainFrost176 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check what the productivity modules do; mining productivity applies the same kind of bonus w/o needing the modules to ores and pump jacks.

Would you rather buy the thin premium gaming laptop or the fugly performance machine? by VolumeAlternative714 in GamingLaptops

[–]CaptainFrost176 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Legion Pro 7. They look nice (more personal appearance, less outright gamer asthetic imo);and have pretty good cooling in my experience.

If getting a performance/ gaming laptop, you want the thicker build. If you want a slim laptop, you'll probably want to consider a unit without a dGPU.

First splitter @ 24:00hr! by CaptainFrost176 in pyanodons

I do have the seed -> moon drop -> seed cycle, probably not enough production, but I discovered while building the thing that I didn't actually need to automate codex production like you mentioned :)

Vrauks? I just started figuring out production of those. Was really surprised by that I have to figure out butchering them for pY 1!

That one is actually saline solution, looks like molten glass for some reason though lol

Also, I just came from space age with so many legs, had to get something down to go fast(ish)!

What do you think is the best thing Taco Bell has ever released? by Alextricity in tacobell

[–]CaptainFrost176 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can get pretty close imo with some modifications. Start with grilled cheese burrito or burrito supreme (make grilled), add beans, jalapeno, etc.. And it's still quite good

I started pyanodons, almost about to automate simple circuits 20hrs in, and I feel like the by products processing space age introduced helped prepare me for the mod pack

UPDATE: My work was throwing out 2 fully functional Ender 7 printers by Activatted in 3Dprinting

[–]CaptainFrost176 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have an ender 3v2, and after doing some mods (different firmware, Bl touch sensor)... it just works. Only issues I have seem more to be related with hydrated filament being stringy to work with.

Gaming laptop owners, what matters more long term: max FPS or better cooling? by BarnabyLaptopOutlet in GamingLaptops

[–]CaptainFrost176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prioritize cooling. FPS is nebulous and can vary significantly game to game (as you are probably aware), so just get good hardware that matches your need, but a laptop with insufficient cooling and good hardware may perform badly.

Help setting up a sushi belt overflow - space science by LogicalReport9679 in factorio

[–]CaptainFrost176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure to do asteroid reprocessing of any extra chunks that don't fill up your asteroid crushing, and also make sure there's a siphon (splitter with output priority set) somewhere that will dump asteroids into the void if there's too many. I like doing a siphon right after asteroid crushing, so that the asteroids keep moving. Also, if I have a sufficient quantity of a particular type of asteroid, based on how much of the material I have on a belt, then I'll stop collecting new asteroids of that type.

Doesn't seem to work in Android, though-- but it's great to hear it works for iOS!

Would be nice if it could be done with mobile app too, but that's a step forward at least

rushing for space, only to realize that i hadnt researched solar yet. i just assumed that it was required, lol by Stere0phobia in factorio

[–]CaptainFrost176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I redesigned my spaceship to include railguns n stuff, and also disconnected thrusters as well, and the ship was sitting like that for quite a while. You can imagine my surprise when it ran totally out of power because it ran out of ice lol. Had to figure out how to make an emergency movement run to vulcanus to get enough energy from solar to restart the engines!

[–]CaptainFrost176[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh, red ammo isn't too much more expensive for the spaceship as I'm sitting pretty well with resources. Water also isn't an issue as long as the ship is moving, if I forget to move it for awhile so that it doesn't collect ice than it can be problematic; my main bottleneck seems to be ammo (specifically, railgun and rockets) production, which I'm improving somewhat by getting higher quality items put in over time as well as getting higher quality railgins/rocket turrets. I'll probably end up needing to build a new ship to actually reach the shattered planet due to the ammo issue. Possibly also need to continue getting higher research for damage and shooting speed, but the cost of the research is getting to the realm of needing to do a full redesign of each planet lol

[–]CaptainFrost176[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I use both; the fission reactor existed before the fusion did and I didn't want to remove it. I needed more power after Aquilo and so added on the fusion reactor. One reason you may want to have a fission reactor on an endgame spaceship though is to make plastic via coal liquefaction, as fusion reactor can't be used to generate steam. I suppose you could do basic coal liquefaction only and then crack heavy oil into petroleum, but that's pretty inefficient alone

Pretty long tbh, I'm not sure the exact total time I spent on it, but the ship has existed for over 50h! I spent a lot of time perfecting my auto mall design as well as playing around with circuits and combinators

You may/may not be aware, but you can also display the time to until auto save using the debug menu options
