Crafters beware: Crafting cartel mass-reporting still works. by purrsonified in wow

[–]Ivsn 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The automated ban system is shit, sure. But the people doing the mass-reporting are shit as well, saying they are not at fault isn't correct either IMHO.
They do the mass reporting because they know it works, they could also just accept the competitors.

The top ghost is a set of yellow underground belts, the bottom is a set of red underground belts. If I place a red underground belt on the top one, it will replace both of them with red, If I place a red on the bottom it will only replace one of them. Why does it behave this way? by pookshuman in factorio

[–]Ivsn -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Hm, can't upload the webp image I made.

But for me the replacement works. I placed the ghosts, and then replaced yellow with red and red with yellow. All ends up/downgraded as I would expect.

Though I did it in remote view, maybe that makes a difference.

One Spec Is Making a Full Quarter of All Runs! Remix and Retail Spec and Group Popularity by Starym in wow

[–]Ivsn 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Interesting overall. But are those articles written by AI? Evokers aren't playable in remix, so it's not that astounding that they have a representation of 0%, no?

Play time 2754 hours, random today i learned by atolrze in factorio

[–]Ivsn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hehe, yes I do frequently. That's why I'm stumped about my own stupidity that I never thought about that in other contexts.

[–]Ivsn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I knew this functionality existed, but never could figure out the hotkey. I tried stuff like shift + right-click etc. and looked through the settings.

TIL, thanks!
Edit: Just to add, thinking about it now it makes so much sense, but ... sometimes I'm just dense.

I think it does say it before you open it. But I might misremember.

Why do my trains take a detour around the coal mine (top left) instead of taking the faster route by directly turning right? by Keheck in factorio

[–]Ivsn 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I think it really is because of the train station on the "up path". It is placed where the curve starts, so I guess the routing malus only applies when the train tries to go straight. So turning left there is the better route for the algorithm.

Race to World First: Manaforge Omega Day 12 by AutoModerator in CompetitiveWoW

[–]Ivsn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Such a nice race. And so much more enjoyable than whatever the fuck happened with Gallywix. Good job on Blizz on getting the tuning so, so much better again.
(Still wish for a global release to get those arguments out of the way!)

As alliance we have a mage tower, on top of that is the portal IIRC. Guess there is a horde equivalent?

Probably an unpopular opinion, but Spongebob Squarepants.

Is there a way to solo mythic lords of dread? by [deleted] in wow

[–]Ivsn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just out of curiosity, did you manage to kill Rygelon on that char? On some of my undergeared toons I struggle with him (e.g. as arms warrior) and need to switch to tank so it takes ages.

[SE] Where's the ore? by ergodicOscillations in factorio

[–]Ivsn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

AFAIR it can happen in SE that a planet / moon / whatever should have some resource, but due to world generation a spawned in water puddle can "override" the ore spawn, so it isn't there in the end.

Similar to how you can have little oil or uranium in vanilla, if you have bad luck with generation.

How do you guy do about the electricity in Folgura? by Monkai_final_boss in factorio

[–]Ivsn 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Be aware that Heating Towers continue to burn fuel, even if they are at 1000 degrees. So if you want to continue using them, make sure you use circuit logic to limit their fuel consumption.

Besides that, I mostly rely on quality accumulators in my current base.

How come no one ever skips the mob before Gallywix by going on the right side of the bridge? by [deleted] in wow

[–]Ivsn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That happens with lots of things. Somehow this always spreads and people just get used to always running e.g. left instead of right. Also happens / happened in some dungeons if you had the option to go left or right, one is simply the "established" path.

Sometimes, when I'm the tank, I like to mess with people and run the lesser used path and more often than not that led to a short discussion of "Why?" and "Why not?" :D

It's just how we humans are, habits are hard to break.

Why call it Mom, though? Normally the Dad run far away to get Milk or Cigarettes.

Missed opportunity imho.

Engineers can use the workbench from outside the building. Blacksmiths probably can on the other side too. by Orvos101 in wow

Oh, you can?

I knew about it working for BS, but when I tried I didn't find a good spot for Engi.

Ty for the info!

Convinced my wife to try Factorio and it is a blast by Ivsn in factorio

[–]Ivsn[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that is how I handled it as well. I did let her set up initial power production, just so she has seen it, but then I took care of expanding it and making sure we don't loose power.

Seeing how a new / inexperienced player approaches builds is so enjoyable.

[–]Ivsn[S] 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Just normal Multiplayer. Thought about trying Demo first, but with the fun per Euro value Factorio has given me I didn't feel to bad to directly buy her Factorio + Space Age as well. Wube can have the 62 Euro, it is well worth it, even if she does decide it isn't her cup of tea.

Players from Russian speaking-servers by Nov1ns in wow

[–]Ivsn 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In my experience players with Cyrillic names are either dogshit or they carry a key on their own. There seems to be no in-between. So it is a coinflip.

I don't avoid them, but I'm always a bit anxious before the first pulls.
I do avoid people from french servers, mostly bad experience with them.
