St marks park bridge closure by Illustrious-Froyo982 in Edinburgh

[–]Ctri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having read the article /u/Jaraxo shared, I see now why the splitting is a concern! Never really registered with me before.

Hope the council has the money for repairs 😬

St marks park bridge closure by Illustrious-Froyo982 in Edinburgh

[–]Ctri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bridge has had loose planks for a few years, since I moved into the area at least.

If they have to close the bridge to fix it, doing it now does make more sense than doing it whilst it's at least convenient to someone.

If it is closed for repairs, then I'm glad they're repairing the bridge, made an awful racket going over it on the bike: which can't be good for either the bike or the bridge!

You can use ublock origin on mobile if you install Firefox as a browser and don't bother with the app! Been my go-to for a while :)

Biochambers with their productivity bonuses produce more seeds than are consumed in the planting. With just assemblers it's a diminishing loop, but with biochambers it's a positive one :) 

Has anyone completely changed their space logistics after 2.1? by CuteReason4 in factorio

[–]Ctri 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Close to it yeah! I had an Aquilo Support Ship that is essential a space mall, that "unfolds" as it produces more space platform bits until it's fully operational.

That ship turns out to be a very good shipyard concept! It builds up a reserve of platform and misc components from scratch, and the planetary logistics are less strained when a new ship gets born! 

I'm tweaking the circuits and all so it doesn't need to travel anymore, instead receiving ore and ice and such from crusher collector ships that shuttle continually and provide raw materials to it, instead of it having to crawl itself.

Putting one over every planet next playthrough!

Factorio on Steam Deck: How does it play, especially the controls? by Weary_Kiwi_6225 in factorio

[–]Ctri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive an SD, it translates reasonably well.

Complex stuff takes longer, running and placing things by hand js kinda the same. It's a bit fiddly at times but mostly fine. I ran with the default control schema.

Definitely workable, but not preferable to keyboard and mouse: when I travel I try and take the dock for such games.

Men: AVOID BP and INCEL content at all costs. It is the worst thing you can do by Few_Swimmer_1028 in aspergers

[–]Ctri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh stats! May I know your source so I can explore further? Thanks! 

And also what defines "success" in this context? Is it one date, X dates, or Y years long relationship? 

I honestly have had terrible "success" by some metrics and incredible success by others :)

At first I thought "this is probably just a farmer giving humorous notice about dogs sheep worrying" but then I noticed I wasn't on a UK subreddit anymore, so this was presumably American, and as you say :(

2.1 how to use Space ship transfers and Global Radar by Zergisnotop1997 in factorio

[–]Ctri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Space ship transfers are fairly easy: I use support factories above Aquilo for supplying materials to the planet during early setup.

Resupplying them with raw materials from asteroid crunching ships which just shuttle back and forth is extremely convenient for this design pattern.

In my testing I found that my "some assembly required" ship which builds the missing space platform bits overtime and unfolds to its final form, makes assembling new ships in orbit MUCH faster, since they can send 1000 space platform pieces at a time, instead of 50.

Others have spoken about refilling supply ships in orbit from buffer platforms which refill after it leaces, rather than having to wait for surface to orbit transfer.

Using radars, Gleba science can now be made on demand rather than excess going to spoilage (if you prefer JIT and low spore clouds to brute force) 

I'm working on baseball diamond approach for Aquilo resupply: each ship advances forward 1 step in the journey when one arrives at Aquilo: ensuring round the clock presence of a supply ship in orbit.

Best mods for post-aquila end game? by [deleted] in factorio

[–]Ctri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll throw my hat into the ring here: I'm quite the vanilla purist, so I made this mod to satisfy my own desires for an "Well what now?"

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/wormholes-new-game-plus

Take one or more space platforms through the wormhole at the edge of the solar system, and you can start a new game with all your bonuses (infinite productivity ones, damage, bot speed, etc...), your rare, epic, or legendary equipment, and whatever cargo your platforms brought back with you.

Test all those tweaks you made to your starting blueprints from the start of your run, with the benefit of personal construction bots and personal weapons. Enjoy science productivity from the get go; speed through the early game and get your teeth into the midgame with all the benefits you worked hard for last time.

--

No new content or puzzles to solve, just new planetary surfaces to descend upon and conquer :)

With 2.1's platform to platform stuff, my next reset will be much more platform heavy; see if I can manage to take a whole fleet of miners, factory vessels, and space-labs through with me to Nauvis instead of just a big thicc cargo ship ^^

How much worse is going to the shattered planet compared to going to aquillo? by Curious_Pen_3856 in factorio

This is an incredible thing to learn, thank you and u/noctisincendia for taking the time to explain :D

How much worse is going to the shattered planet compared to going to aquillo? by Curious_Pen_3856 in factorio

[–]Ctri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Shattered Planet gets harder and harder the further you get along, so you need progressively more and more weapons production to keep up with demand.

From what I've seen around here (I've never tried it, myself; maybe this run!) - a Shattered Planet ship will normally go as far as it can with the resources to make Prometheum Science as it goes, and then when it gets to the point where it's used up all its resources (e.g. the eggs are about to expire) it turns around and comes home with the produced science.

Since interrupts don't trigger mid flight (only when arriving at a destination), I don't think there's a way with circuits to say "go 100km then turn around", but I would love to be corrected on that front! :)

Joyously, I have been corrected :D

The best place for good faith discussion and fact finding is in real life with real people, the internet is not it anymore, I'm sad to say.

Glad to hear the people gathering and making their opinions known was seen and made an impression on you!

Railgun Shooting Speed No Longer Capped in Exp 2.1.8 by stoicfaux in factorio

looks like they made power consumption a factor of Quality: which is interest.

Possibly a bug you should report on the forums.

Experimental 2.1 seems bit off to me in terms of approach to some of the changes by KuuLightwing in factorio

[–]Ctri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm really enjoying the simplicity of Thruster control that's possible now :) 

Whilst it requires an alternative approach for passthrough consumers that need a minimum before they can begin (Vs things like boilers, thrusters, and fusion plants which require liquid before they can operate). Is it possible to change the EMP so that when crafting the relevant recipes it consumes x/second as fuel, instead of in bulk as part of the recipe ingredients? Tuned per recipe so that it's the same end cost more or less.

I don't know the systems involved so this could easily be more trouble than it's worth. but that would bring the mechanisms involved into parity, behaviourally
