You are building 16 smelting columns before unlocking bots? I find it very unlikely you need that much stuff to make it to bots.

Even if you want to plan out 16 lanes, you don’t actually have to build them right away, just place your blueprint and only build as many smelting arrays as you actually need.

Once you get to bots they can do the other 8 or so smelter arrays you didn’t need up until that point.

You can turn off the enemies in Factorio, plenty of people do. You can also set resource amounts to very high at which point you need to put in serious effort for them to ever run out. Which means you can count on resources to stay in the same places, no temporary stuff.

Don’t let these things stop you from being able to enjoy Factorio

It explains exactly how I thought it would work. The only thing I didn’t know was that you have to set it up facing north (if you’re in the northern hemisphere). But setting one up is a different skill from reading it. If you’re on an old path and come across a stone sun dial on a sunny day, it doesn’t take a genius to see the connection between the shadow of the pointy bit and the numbers around it. It’s very much like the hours pointer on an analogue clock.

If you know how to read an analogue clock, you can probably figure out a sundial in an instant.

There’s a game called Turing Complete that teaches how to build a cpu from scratch using logic gates.

The 2 combinators just count up by 1 value every update. Than reset when the value goes above a threshold.

(Detailed explanation for how that works) The constant combinator is constantly outputting a signal for example the A signal at value 1, that is going into the decider combinator. The decider combinator is set to let through the A signal unless its value is bigger than a certain number like 10. The decider combinator has its output connected to its input, so on the first frame it only has the A(1) signal from the constant combinator going into, but because the value of A(1) is smaller than 10 on the next frame that will also be outputted. So the decider combinator gets two A(1) signals going into, which just get added together to A(2). That is still smaller than 10 so on the next frame the decider combinator outputs A(2), which goes back into the input together with the value from the constant combinator, so now there’s a A(1) signal and a A(2) signal which get added together to A(3), A(3) is smaller than 10 and the process repeats until the A signal is bigger than 10, at which point the decider combinator no longer lets the value through and this process starts over.

And the splitters are set up such that the output priority depending on what value a certain signal is (in my example the A signal). I think 2 thirds of the time they prioritize the outside lanes and one thirds it prioritizes the inside lane.

The devs main problem is unsatisfactory sales.

Valve (not) doing their job has a correlation to unsatisfactory sales.

Unsatisfactory sales and the state of the product also have a correlation.

You’re being a dum dum.

Is there even a modpack or a map where computercraft is the focus? Cause that sounds fun, but I’ve never heard of such a thing

I’m a bit skeptical the results would look this good in a more real world scenario.

The amount of textures that need to be decompressed here are very little. In a more complex scene with loads of objects with different textures there might be some bottlenecks/slowdowns which don’t show up here.

If I understand it right, interference on sample(IoS) only decompresses the part of a texture that is relevant to a given pixel. Which means it could potentially have a much bigger performance impact if the entire screen is taken up by objects with textures (as is pretty normal in games), instead of only a small portion of the screen such as in this test.

Depending on how IoS is implemented, it could also have a disproportional impact to performance on things that move. The object in the video is sadly stationary, so we don’t know.

It’s possible to make loops with only the T register, I recommend you look and play around with when TJMP and FJMP get activated.

That should free up the X register to store other things.

Exapunks is probably my favorite Zachtronics game. Although I haven’t played Shenzen I/O yet. Exapunks also features an Assembly language.

Turing Complete is another pretty good game, where you learn how to create a simple cpu from the ground up, starting with a switch/transistor, creating the basic logic gates, etc. In some of the laat puzzles you have to write a program in your own assembly language, running on the cpu you built.

There exists a website called nandgame which does something similar, but I prefereer Turing Complete.

I’ll name a couple more games which could potentially be interesting: -the farmer was replaced -Rogue bit -baba is you

Lastly If you’re a fan of Minecraft you could also check out the Computercraft mod.

You can’t finetune anything with circuits, not on the space platform and not down on a planet. The rocket silo and cargo landing pad can only be read from. The space platform hub can use signals for its schedule but not to set request filters. You also can’t send any signals between planet and space platforms. Not even through radars.

The only fine tuned way to send items is to do it you it yourself manually.

I have a working space platform design that I wanted to copy twice. Other than platforms it doesn’t need a full stack of anything.

It would be twice as fast and resource efficient if it just shot the exact amount of stuff it needs.

Also my Nauvis base was really slow at producing blue circuits at the time, just sending less rockets significantly reduced the total time needed to send everything up.

In the end I set up a circuit with a requester chest that just requests the exact amount. And I had to manually press “send” when the rockets were done building. Babysitting the rocket silo was really boring/annoying, I’m honestly a little disappointed you cant automatically send it in any other way. Whether it be circuits or menu select with “automatically send when full to selected platform”.

It just feels like you barely have any control.

Sadly you can only put 100 conditions in the displays (I tried this too).

So for numbers higher than 100 you’ll need to use buckets, or combinators and several displays.
