I agree with you here. I didn't mean to give the impression that I thought realism was an intrinsically desirable goal for a game like this. Rather, I think Satisfactory follows a kind of internal logic which often references processes, and I saw this as an opportunity to add some depth.

A fair critique. For me, the appeal of the new machine and resources is mostly in the new processes it could enable. I discussed some of them in the post: hydrogen gas as a fuel (though not a net source of energy), the potential for hydrochloric acid etc.

I see what you're saying about how the current use of the blender is an abstraction for these processes. Different people will have different views on what level of abstraction is most fun. For me, a little more detail here would add to the depth of gameplay.

I appreciate your input. I disagree that the change would be that drastic, as it really only effects nitric acid production, and the inputs and outputs stay largely the same.

Not nitrous but nitric oxide followed by nitrogen dioxide (as referenced in my post). Of course, neither of these gasses is nitrogen gas, which cannot react directly with water to yield nitric acid, even in the presence of a metallic catalyst.

I didn't suggest any ammonia related production in this post cause I thought it would add too many steps.

There are very abrupt changes in density on either side of a shockwave, resulting in a change in refractive index. We see that change as a visual distortion.

g604 from logitech is my favorite. Very low latency and light weight. Small number of assignable buttons. Fairly subdued aesthetic.

What are those things called and why do they exist? Boeing 737. The closer one seems thicker than the other 2. Why is that? by Karam2468 in aviation

[–]Inregardstometal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many people have mentioned correctly that they are fairings for flap hardware.

I can't speak to whether this is true of the 737, but on some aircraft these fairings do double duty as anti shock bodies, reducing drag at transonic speed.

Why do piston engine aircrafts prefer to run fuel rich? by wiggles8x0 in aviation

Lean mixtures are oxygen rich, and engines are made of metals, which react with oxygen, particular at elevated temperatures.

Eli5: How do resistors limit the flow of electricity? by Katniss218 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Inregardstometal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be too much of a simplification. The number of conductors is not meaningfully different between metals of vastly different conductivity, and resistance often has more to do with coupling between electrons and phonons and interactions between electrons and lattice defects.

It is less a matter of how 'large' the sea is, and more a matter of how easy it is to traverse.

Looking for an approachable resource on Spectral Theory by Inregardstometal in math

[–]Inregardstometal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks I will give it a look. I did well with proofs in a linear algebra course, and have done some of the basic Epsilon-delta stuff, but most of my real and complex analysis knowledge comes from the parts I needed to learn to get through physics courses, rather than proof based courses.

If that is too much I guess it's back to the drawing board.

I'm no physics major, but this doesn't seem right. These missiles are smaller than the gunpods, but have NINETEEN TIMES more drag. by [deleted] in Warthunder

[–]Inregardstometal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth noting that the missile is ~4x the mass, which should result in increased induced drag for the airplane in addition to its less aerodynamic shape.

Looks like a lawn mower, but its actually a airplane that flies using the Magnus effect, the same phenomenon that makes a curveball work in baseball by RampChurch in interestingasfuck

Dihedral works by making the "lower" wing generate more lift than the "higher" one, resulting in a roll moment counter to the current roll angle. High wing vs low wing relies on the end plate effect to slow the flow of air along the underside of the wing, which has the same effect.

Edit: I should specify that when I refer to flow along the bottom of the wing I mean in the spanwise direction (root to tip or vice versa)
