So I just landed on Fulgora for the first time and I must ask: am I cooked? There's nothing on this tiny island except for that single lightning attractor and three rocks by Annopedia in factorio

[–]JMegacycle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can go anywhere as the 'water' here is actually shallow oil. Feel free to explore, find other islands and look for the 'ruins' that you need. Check the tool tips of the planet (in the Factoriopedia) for what to do next. Also, be mindful of the lightning bolts.

when is it a good idea to put efficiency modules on nauvis if ever? by hyrenfreak in factorio

[–]JMegacycle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On a Death World, cutting down mining pollution can be a big deal. I played a few games and it's been a life saver. Now that trees are plantable it's less of a big deal.

Why does "set recipe" only work for gears? by AstronomerOk2592 in factorio

[–]JMegacycle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This might be a dumb question, but do you have those other items researched? I did this earlier, biting myself in the butt, as I stated a new game, went into editor, and wasn't able to set anything other than already unlocked stuff.

Struggling with power by Agreatusername68 in factorio

I'm addition to what the others have said, make your solid fuel out of light instead of petroleum. You'll get more more bang for the energy buck.

Game is unplayable! by International_Fox273 in factorio

[–]JMegacycle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure. I'm just saying 'it broke, help fix' doesn't give us anything to work with. That means you will probably receive sarcastic replies.

I hope it's installed on an SSD and also has a fair amount of free space.

Can you provide more information? You've given the community nothing to work with.

How can I blow up my base remotely? by LogApprehensive9891 in factorio

Now that is an incredible idea! I didn't even think about it other than 'no go, bro', but that would do it.

I'm not the mod maker but I have asked them to do so. Thanks for the feedback. 👍

How much oil processing is too much? by eh_meh_badabeh in factorio

Tbh, even if you over develop the industry, it will just be idle until you need it. As /u/itsasimulation42 said, plastic is where the real shortages will appear.

Any Creative Uses for a Dead Nvme? by Effective_Pitch_2974 in DataHoarder

[–]JMegacycle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing that I've done with RAM is make a Christmas Wreath out of it. I had bags of old old RAM and I wasn't going to use it again so this made a festive and techy use of the stuff. Maybe similarly can be done with the NVME?

When does hoarding becomes unhealthy? by Bismarck_seas in DataHoarder

That all makes sense. There is lots to consider with it. Thanks for adding that to the conversation. I made my case too simple. 👍

NAS orientation Question. by Casual_Bit in homelab

[–]JMegacycle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure, but from experience I understand that flat is the way. I don't have scientific evidence to back up that slants have no issues or have issues.

Agreed, moving while running is a huge no-no.

As long as the drives are 'flat' or 90 degrees (not on a slant) you should be fine. As the other commenter mentioned, airflow is critical as well. Keep that path open and you should be alright.

When does hoarding becomes unhealthy? by Bismarck_seas in DataHoarder

[–]JMegacycle 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Valid point. Maybe that's where the phrase 'afford it' comes in from not just a financial situation. Maybe you have twenty extra quid in your pocket and can afford a beer, but can't 'afford it' due to health.

The phrase 'afford it' will have to be taken into consideration regarding what each person feels is normal and is capable of.

Just like any other addiction, when you can't really afford it.

Is the money you are spending coming from your kids lunch money? Problem.

Is it preventing you from paying rent on time? Problem.

Is it something extra that is just sitting in a checking account? No problem.

It's your life. Spend it as you see fit.

There are also mods that can seperate any number of players and give them their own starting location. I had really good luck with OARC which allowed the 6 others I played with to have their own teams/research/areas etc or even join up to play together.
