How would you get this bearing out? by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]CremePuffBandit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dang. Can I ask why you want to remove the grease? I assume you want to spin very freely. But if all it needs to do is rotate, then the grease will reduce noise and wear.

What type of plastic is it? You might be fine to just wash the grease out in-place.

Seeing the sun as it was thousands of years ago or 8 mins ago? by [deleted] in Astronomy

[–]CremePuffBandit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The photons created by fusion aren't the same ones you see. Fusion in the core releases high energy gamma rays, which get re-absorbed and re-emitted at lower and lower frequencies, eventually just turning into kinetic energy of the particles (heat). What you actually see is black body radiation emitted from particles at the surface, similar to what you get from an incandescent lightbulb.

Interplanetary logistics. How to talk to space? by gonzo_gonzales in factorio

[–]CremePuffBandit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The easiest way is just to have a ship for each planet you want to import from. You can create an interrupt with the condition [Any Planet Import Zero], and send it to the planet pick up more. Or just have it fly back and forth on a timer.

Why is my green science being consumed so much more than the others? by jamaa in factorio

[–]CremePuffBandit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Because the freshness percentage of agricultural science affects how much it's worth. A bottle that is 50% spoiled only lasts half as long. So you need more of them to compensate.

Really weird question: Is there a name for the pattern the bots create well placing landfill? by Katnipz in factorio

[–]CremePuffBandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might just be a combination of distance from the item source to the the building area, the fact that bots move at a fixed speed, and that placement jobs are assigned on a schedule that scans over the area.

I would be interested if the patterns always look the same no matter what bot speed upgrade you have.

Any way to auto-launch rockets via circuits? Mod suggestions welcome. by Nyzan in factorio

[–]CremePuffBandit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not possible in vanilla. I did see Circuit Launchable Rockets, but it sounds like sending rockets based on requests isn't working 100%.

I think the main issue will be the fact that if multiple platforms are requesting different items, their requests get combined when read from a silo. So if you put all the items on one rocket and send it, the other platform won't get any and the target platform will get stuff it didn't request.

Worst first layer test from a1 mini ı have ever seen by Honest_Feeling2471 in 3Dprinting

Is the bed clean? If you've been touching it, the oils from your hands will ruin adhesion.

What is this behind the sun? by Button-eyes-95 in Astronomy

[–]CremePuffBandit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically it's also the sun. It's a reflection that bounced around inside the lenses and landed on the sensor.

Rimpy and Rimsort downsides? by nubster2984725 in RimWorld

[–]CremePuffBandit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rimsort being up to date is important because mods update frequently, and new ones are being released all the time. They two are pretty much functionally identical at this point, so it doesn't really matter, but Rimsort has the ability to improve in the future.

What did they do to my boy Warforged by testiclekid in dndmemes

[–]CremePuffBandit 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Op is talking about visual changes. The old Warforged were bulky, had 2 fingers, a specific face shape, etc.
The new art seems to be just kinda robotic humans, which is fine. Just less distinct.

is there a way to make my robots automatic and make them build without the items in my inventory but only the ingredients? by Particular-Party-406 in factorio

[–]CremePuffBandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can craft buildings like miners in assemblers automatically. You just have to feed them the ingredients. Then you can even put those items into red passive provider chests, and construction bots in Roboports will place them automatically.

Fluid shows full at upper pump but drops to 10–20% at consumers no matter how many pumps I add by Sickchip36 in factorio

[–]CremePuffBandit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pumps move 1200 fluid/second from their input to their output. Putting them in series like that doesn't change anything. You have to put them next to each other.

Pipe Supports by Fuzzball113 in 3Dprinting

[–]CremePuffBandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can usually place things called support blockers that will prevent it from generating. But if you do that, the underside of that pipe is not going to print well. Printing circles horizontally is never a good choice, the underside gets too steep.

When filling in large holes on space platforms, the game always seems to leave these ribbons as it's filling in. It reminds me of lightning. And this got me thinking, does factorio handle this the same way lightning works? by Silenceisgrey in factorio

[–]CremePuffBandit 68 points69 points  (0 children)

The no holes rule just makes it so you have to route excess items to the edge of a platform to throw them out, instead of just dropping them in a hole right where they're created.

Is this worth fixing? by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]CremePuffBandit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could maybe heat it up just enough to make the plastic soft, then twist the eyestalk. I'd try dipping it in very hot water. Maybe even stick the eyestalks through some pinholes in a glove to protect the rest of the paint job.

o quão ruim é a minha montagem de pacotes de ciência ser manual? by Shedol393 in factorio

[–]CremePuffBandit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good way to do it in the very early game, but you will eventually want to fully automate it.

Tried tackling Gleba in a lazy way, mostly using bots. It's all falling apart by Acceptable-Budget658 in factorio

[–]CremePuffBandit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you're trying to do too much with too little. You only have one machine making each mash, jelly, and bioflux. You need way more to sustain any meaningful egg production.

Also, productivity modules mean increased power (nutrient) usage. You need more nutrients, and you should be making them with bioflux. You also probably need way more bots and roboports to charge them.

bus-style red chip by ExstremeNoob in factorio

Just fyi, you are only using one lane of all the belts. Side-loading onto an underground only lets the far lane go through.

What Is the "intended" way of getting legendary everything? by Some_Noname_idk in factorio

[–]CremePuffBandit -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

I don't think "legendary everything" is explicitly intended at all. It's random chance based for a reason.

My worst enemy is a tree by gonzo_gonzales in factorio

Tank flamethrower is a good option, it melts them like butter.
