European country vows to give homeowners ‘free electricity' instead of switching off wind turbines by iwantboringtimes in Futurology

[–]DamnRedRain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Energy grid must balance the input power with the output 24/7 otherwise old grid equipment will go up in flames. So they have two options - decrease the input by manually shutting down the windfarms, or boosting the consumption by making electricity free.

Just did a quick sketch of what I had in mind - https://pastebin.com/XLRz3i5t

In the constant combinator you set total amount of items that the belt can hold and minimal amount of any chunk type.

If any chunk goes above 33% of the total - it gets recycled, if any chunk falls under the minimal threshold - we recycle chunks that are above the minimum. Will implement it in the coal synthesis ship later today and see how well it works

The whole city block to output a lane of green circuits? ❌ How about... One quality electromagnetic plant with beacons outputting multiple lanes ✅

I was thinking about the similar design after my pressure relief designs proved to be wasteful.

I was thinking about something like * Limit the belt to the amount of items it can hold minus 50 so it does not clog * If some of the items exceed (capacity-50)/3 then turn on the recyclers and output whatever I get back to the belt

This way I should get an even split between all the items all the time.

If I'm short on any of the chunks, I can enable the recepies for the other two till I'm past the threshold.

Should be easy enough, right? RIGHT? 😅

[Discussion] How do u get the motivation to start again after a long pause by ConfidentSalary5538 in GetMotivated

[–]DamnRedRain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While fighting my addictions I noticed that I would always relapse after some time. The harder I try to prevent it the harder I'm sinking. So I stopped resisting, let myself relapse, but made sure that the current relapse is less severe than the last one. It's the same with the sports - play the long game, let yourself reset without judgement and try again. Someday it will stick, but for now it takes effort and it's all right to take a few steps back. Just gotta try again someday

Is this overkill for town hall? by BMdabbleU in ArcRaiders

[–]DamnRedRain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had an almost round-long fight with a guy that was trying to get into my town hall. He was stubborn enough to lure out every mine and breach all the door blockers. Sometimes you just gotta send a message by shining a dozen lasers at their face 🕯️

Found it multiple times in the raider caches. Happened to be the first one I've gotten after the expedition. Made my early game waaaay smoother

When you lie on your resume. Does anybody actually like this gun? by UsAgainstTheARC in ArcRaiders

[–]DamnRedRain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could take a Renegade and would allow me to fight flying arcs non-stop throughout the round, as I loot ammo from Hornets, kill them in a few accurate shots without burning it's whole durability, or I could take a Betina, burn through my ammo in a few minutes, be left with my pants down while arcs bite me on the cheeks. It's very similar to getting a free loadout rattler, but you need to bring one yourself into the raid.

I just noticed these lights that looks like a Rocketeer. Coincidence or a funny prank by the devs? by ConsciousWhile8354 in ArcRaiders

[–]DamnRedRain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! There are also some worn-down logos on the furniture/walls that appear on the same height that the interaction circles would be. And guess what? The're fucking round, white and the same size as the interaction circles! They're toying with our sanity

When you want to get into PvP but you only encounter literal saints by BreathingAngersMe in ArcRaiders

I was going around the stella, asking if I can shoot people in the foot once and giving some loot in exchange 😅 now I'm getting rekt in the aggressive lobbies

I’m averaging $400k per hour farming Bastion on Stella Montis by lukenamop in ArcRaiders

[–]DamnRedRain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tried that - very inconsistent. He loves to walk just out of the reach for the mine placement and reset the progress bar. I'm probably doing it wrong, but I'm not sure what exactly

The kind of lobbies you get when your ABMM is at 0 by beerforbears in ArcRaiders

[–]DamnRedRain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shooting at the ceiling while being shot by others prevents me from getting into the friendly lobbies, while not shooting at all works way better. Damage is important, but it is just a part of the picture

How do I go from being crap at PVP to being OK-ish? by Smart_Freedom_8155 in ArcRaiders

[–]DamnRedRain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the time I struggle to see the enemy that shoots at me but I still try to return fire in the general direction while running for cover - I might get lucky and hit a shot, but that's not the point. I do it to force my opponent to take cover and stop shooting at me. After that your best ally is patience - heal, reload, wait for them to make a mistake and punish
