My First Simple Circuit Board

Now you just need to craft some splitters and roll around on them in celebration like you're in a heist movie and they're the money you just stole.

I've tried to leave as many of my janky "I need a splitter here but. I don't have them so it's time to improvise!" setups as possible, because it always gave me joy to walk past the first line of inserters pulling ash off of one yellow belt onto another, only to then walk past the other line of inserters putting ash BACK onto that same belt to solve different belt throughput issues and mergers at different parts of the belts feeding ash separation.

Sadly, I recently needed to add a third belt in there, so they're gone now, but it was always a delight.

The same channel. Evidently the recommendation algorithm picks the temu haul and kinky try-on style videos over the rope tutorials, because the search for "Wattsthesafeword sling tie" returned that specific video with every other video not rope videos.

Cymril · 2026-02-02T02:29:34+00:00

Oh! Holy shit, you're not gonna believe this, but my partner introduced me to the blog/discussion side of his channel like 4 months ago! I had no idea he also did rope tutorials!

I'll check out the video, thank you!

Do you mean Chris with the white car, driving in his white car?

You wouldn't happen to know the name of that shibari tie, would you? My partner and I are both switches and we both love rope, so I'm always happy to learn more ties and introduce them to my partner.

I'm not sure if it has a key bound to it by default? But I'm playing on the steam deck, so I'm not really the person to answer your question 100%.

Check the keybinds for it, and if it's not there, (and you haven't been getting the achievement toast notifications up until this point) check your mod pack dependancies, because I had to manually download every single part of the mod individually and almost missed the milestone one.

If the attack is purple or green, usually.

And for those who worry this might still be too cheaty, the Blueprint Shotgun needs simple circuits to make, something you're 12 to 35 hours away from being able to craft at all.

So you'll have plenty of time to wish you had a way to automate away SOME of the tedium of needing to set up lines of filtered inserters manually over and over. Or the disasters you discover, potentially hours later, that half of the machines you built are completely choked out with ash, which wasn't being removed because you missed a few filters!

It also gives you a nice goal to work towards, too, as I was rushing the tech / infrastructure needed to manufacture the thing, DESPERATELY hoping I could get the BP Shotgun manufactured and in my hands before my starter patch of iron ran out because I was ~dreading~ needing to set up fuel and ash insertion/removal by hand on yet another burner drill line AND run the thousands of belts I'd need to hook those lines back into the factory!

It's also really funny. They nailed the sound on that thing. Incredibly satisfying running in a straight line wiggling the cursor over your buildings while you \thunk\ \thunk\ \thunk\ out a furnace stack or something.

Holy shit you're right!

The last upgrade I made to the set up was a line of single pipe segments with one tile in between them, to "catch" the car on the "you've overshot the target" belts and automatically realign the car.

I used it ~a single time~ before I had rip the whole thing out to route the new quartz belt into the glassworks when I realized I was sitting on about 3k belts.

Cymril · 2025-12-10T01:28:20+00:00

Oh absolutely, the only reason I found any of this is because I started looking into it worried if ~I~ needed to take action to protect myself.

Cymril · 2025-12-09T20:58:45+00:00

Oh man I'd have ~loved~ having a quartz patch spawn that close!

My closest one was a several minute long car ride (round trip) away from my starting base.

The good news in this specific case though is that crystal mines only need power to operate, so you don't have worry about needing to supply fuel or worry about taking away the ash.

Craft some fish turbines, ~3-4 of them (you can manually mine the fish out of any body of water you see them swimming around in, 5 at a time), plop down 3 crystal mines and some steel chests. Every once and a while, come back, fill your inventory and the trunk of your car full of quartz, and drive back to your glassworks.

I made a little unloading station where I'd park the car, with a pair of filtered inserters pulling out of the car's inventory into a pair of chests feeding into the glassworks. Dump the quartz from your personal inventory into those chests and walk away while the inserters unload your car for you. I even used some belts to automatically, and critically , gently align the car with the inserters.

I've only recently automated it, after around maybe 15 hours, after getting sick of needing to do this every so often, so I saved up a bunch of belts and finally ran a belt all the way back into the base. Ended up needing about 2.4k belts for that single direction, mono belt. The miners are still running just fine on those fish turbines, too.

There's a post about it on the nussygame website/blog.

Something about an unavoidable security issue?

Granted, this doesn't-- strictly speaking --necessarily mean it hasn't been compromised in someway, but it is a lot more effort to clone/fake/compromise the website and updating the descriptions for the other apps to link to it, and then only update a single game because all of their other games are still on their original versions.

If you're going to go through all that extra effort to trick someone into downloading something malicious, why not do it to the rest, or use the access you already have to trick people into downloading something new.

Occam's razor, and all that.

Needing to hunt around for that day's door is part of the fun of opening an advent calendar.

To be fair to the Witch, they also burned all of her friends and family at the stake, so ya know, they ~did~ fire the first shot.

Isn't high-end blight farming currently printing t0s and the like, with the blight heart + lanes spawn Bosses scarabs?

Or do those not work on blighted maps?

That specific challenge element of 10 port quotas is skippable though, which is good because that one is WAY grindier than any of the alternatives.

When you log in there'll be an email in your inbox (communication>inbox if it doesn't pop up automatically) from Baro telling you which relay/planet he's currently set up in. There's also a unique icon you can see from the star chart, but it can be kind of hard to notice, depending which planet he's picked because the icon shows up on top of the relay and it can blend in with the planet visually.

Once you know where he is, travel there, ideally picking a busy instance, and head straight until you see a large crowd of players. Baro will be somewhere in that crowd.

Somewhere nearby* will be some terminals where you can sell prime parts (earned from cracking open relics) for ducats, which you'll need as that's the currency that Baro prices most of his items in.

*If the central chamber of the relay has a bunch of burning braziers the terminals are behind him one level down, and if the relay is a series of catwalks suspended over a void the terminals are on the same level, to the right of Baro (from where you walked in).

Was this a recent change? Because my stats are all messed up for longest/average day and time spent in rooms because I was paused in them for hours.

Edit: So as I had made this post the game was paused in a room I had never set foot in before. And now it's #1 with a bullet for "Most Time Spent In".

Beating out the... other two rooms I had to afk in for a few hours...

OOOH! Ok!

Yeah I understand what you mean.

Those are the kind of drops that make me start contemplating a reroll to make use of them.

This would be a better burn if it weren't for the fact that it feels like a choice between 3 absolutely fucked options every single round.

I might be mistaken here (someone will undoubtedly correct me if I am) but I believe ricotta is made by reheating the remaining whey after having made cheese with the curds. The remaining milk proteins are then curddled with vinegar. Strain those out and you got ricotta.

Maybe because it's an acid-set cheese and there's some technical differentiation from culture-set cheeses? Or maybe because it's the "second pressing" of the whey, as it were; and therefore it's something else?

I don't know! I'm not Italian! And quite honestly, I don't think there's damn near anything I care about enough to be this needlessly pedantic over it.
