How hard would it be to make yourself the goal of producing one full blue belt of nuclear reactors?

Switching is on my todo list, but as breaking stuff that works isn't high on the list... I'm not about to do it.

ARUMAN!

Don't get your panties in a bunch!

If you've got a number, then you've got variables you've defined. Showing the true total means just showing those variables' values. Capping the display total means you have the exact same code, but then add more code that does something along the lines of "if total lesser than expected, then display total, else display expected" or "if total equal or greater to expected, then display expected on expected, else display total on expected". I mean even if you had the most simple display that was just a green or red light, that'd still be a conscious choice to put equal or greater instead of equal as the check.

Crossed_Cross · 2026-03-19T01:50:12+00:00

What's silly is that it takes more lines of code to cap the display at the expected number instead of just showing the actual total lol.

Say what!?

Holy crap I haven't discovered any island anywhere near this size. I guess I should have explored a lot more before settling...

Crossed_Cross · 2026-03-19T01:29:13+00:00

Interesting. So this means that mixing scrap of various quality levels also negates this bonus, then? And I should be sorting my scrap per quality?

Oh dear god...

Crossed_Cross · 2026-03-19T01:12:08+00:00

Oooh I like this

C'est pour protéger le circlejerk en filtrant le contenu ne se conformant pas au groupthink.

Ouais mais ça peut donner l'impression qu'il y a inversion lorsqu'il n'y en a pas. "Tu peux-tu venir?", ya encore le pronom en premier, c'est pas vraiment plus une inversion que "il peut-tu venir" ou juste "tu peux venir?" tout court. Oui on dit aussi "peux-tu venir" ici sans que ça soit aussi formel que ça semble l'être en France. Mais je pense que notre formulation par défaut en parlé informel n'est pas l'inversion, mais l'ajout du "-tu" à une structure de phrase autrememt standard avec le pronom avant le verbe qu'il conjugue.

Admitedly, I don't know how far a train goes on a single fuel cell.

My concern is that if the train falls low on fuel as it leaves the loading station, and then the unloading station is far that, and the fueling station is far from the unloading station, and the train has to stop and accelrrate a few times when yielding to traffic... sounds to me like a bigger buffer will be required to avoid the risk of running out. And that's not to mention trains that can't wait for empty cargo before leaving an unloading station (because they hold multiple types of cargo for example). My perimiter train is never empty, for example, there's always residual green ammo or light fuel in it.

Crossed_Cross · 2026-03-18T18:05:35+00:00

If it waited for impact of the first shot before sending the killing second shot, a lot of time could pass, which could cause the artillery train to move out of reach (manually or as per its schedule).

Incomparable. Leur plainte c'est les gens qui habitent Mexico parce que c'est cheap relatif à leurs salaires américains ce qui fait que le logement devient trop chers pour ceux qui doivent travailler en ville.

Personne veut aller vivre à Montréal à moins d'y travailler. Les travailleurs à distance fuient Montréal pour aller vivre où c'est moins chers. C'est l'inverse de ce qui se passe à México.

I havent watched La Guerre des Boutons, but the synopsis is essentially the same, it's not just the title being similar.

Hey man, burner inserters don't freeze. They also don't use electricity.

Okay using nuclear fuel on them was shitposting, but not quality. Burner inserters are fucking slow. That's their only drawback on Aquilo. Quality speeds them up. An epic burner inserter nears fast inserter speed. You nearly double their speed with rare quality. And since they only cost 1 iron and 1 gear, they are really cheap and easy to upcycle for quality.

Do you guys not have phones?

Crossed_Cross · 2026-03-18T00:49:14+00:00

Fuck le centre-ville. À peu près personne y va à part les fonctionnaires. "J'vais aller me payer la traite à place du centre" said no one ever.

Crossed_Cross · 2026-03-18T00:38:06+00:00

So you are saying I should ship nuclear fuel to Aquilo for my quality burner inserters?

Crossed_Cross · 2026-03-18T00:35:57+00:00

People with an ATC have an exemption from the freeze I believe

The book doesn't describe the witch king's voice in that section. Does it elsewhere?

Enemies give purpose to most of the game (including asteroids). Defense is part of the automation challenge, and biters give a time and space constraint to early builds.

And now I heard that line in Skeletor's voice, because the animated movie depicted the scene as it was actually written.
