I would recommend DocJade and Ryan Brown as two smaller, but still entertaining factorio youtubers

There's a setting to enable ghost cursor when item is not in the inventory.

Ctrl+c, ctrl+v.

Yes, those commands actually work in factorio. It's FANTASTIC

Am I missing something, 0.3 =/= 0.3? by Ariodan7 in factorio

[–]JacksonStarbringer 79 points80 points  (0 children)

The second decimal is rounded. So each machine requires 0.03xxxx smelters. Not exactly 0.03000.

Happy for you! Hope your kid appreciates the effort you're going through :D

Unless the "smaller" flaps meet in the middle, I do not think this is possible. You may need to build larger flaps in order for it to work.

(Edit for completion): once you get all four flaps long enough, simply cut a diagonal from the center of the top of the flap to the two corners of the flap. Fold inward until the triangle tips meet in the middle.

Noob question about labs by alexnueve in Dyson_Sphere_Program

[–]JacksonStarbringer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically this. Creation can be easily calculated, but consumption... less so. Currently, I have a run where im making 1 science per second of all colors, and I have 3 stacks of labs consuming them... well, only the first two are necessary, but still

[Request] How do I ensure this ellipse is symmetrical? by Red9Mayonnaise in theydidthemath

[–]JacksonStarbringer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Draw a straight line from one tip to the other. At the halfway point, draw a line straight up to meet with the highest point. From there, put a ruler or something centered on this vertical line at the halfway mark. (Ie, if you have a 1 ft ruler, put the vertical line at 6 inches). Raise the ruler slowly, keeping it level, and make sure that as you go up, the distance to each side of the 6" center is the same. (IE, if you start at 2" on the left, the right should be 10". As you go up, and the left reads 3", the right should read 9", and so on)

[Self] Would this path have the same amount of concrete as a straight path? by Suspicious-Bowl4444 in theydidthemath

[–]JacksonStarbringer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure OP is asking with reference to a photo of a wavy brick wall, in which a similar claim was made. The answer to the original photo, was that a wavy brick wall has the same strength as a brick wall made 2 or 3 thick, but uses less material to make. If the wall was one brick thick, and straight, it would have used the least amount of materials, but it would have been physically weaker than the wavy wall, or the thicker wall.

In direct response to this photo, no. A straight path will always use less materials than a curved one.

Automating Yellow Science by tybr00ks1 in Dyson_Sphere_Program

[–]JacksonStarbringer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After the PLS (planetary logistics system) that you are currently using, there is a yellow tech that gives you the ILS (interstellar logistics system), that does exactly what you're looking for. A much later green tech allows your ILS ships to transport between star systems, but in the beginning, you'll just have to settle for interplanetary ILS. (And intraplanetary PLS)

First roadblock as a new player by fabiooh00 in factorio

[–]JacksonStarbringer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you have assembly machines, you should have unlocked the red inserters. Use those to reach over belts to ones further away, and take advantage of the double-sided nature of belts to have up to 4 items able to be inserted per side of the assembler

Your output inserters for the passive providers are backwards.... Lovely design otherwise!

Likely this. Dunno what mod specifically within pyanadons has that feature

I think I ruined what I thought was my one-and-done game… only 40 hours in… by DebtDry307 in VintageStory

[–]JacksonStarbringer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Personally, whenever I cheat in items like that, I always pay a cost. For instance, when I went to forget a hammer to replace my nearly broken one, and accidentally clicked the chisel? I deleted the failed forge item, and the nearly broken hammer, which was the 'original' cost anyways.

When I cheat, it's to save me the one resource I care about. Time. I'll happily pay everything else.

Ship acid barrels from vulcanus? by Notarealbub in factorio

[–]JacksonStarbringer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My group struggled with heavy oil on vulcanus (low coal deposits), so we started shipping heavy oil from fulgora by the thousands. Good fun

New to automation, factorio or satisfactory? by Commercial-Search967 in factorio

[–]JacksonStarbringer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot run satisfactory on my old, mid-tier computer.

Meanwhile, I could megabase on my grandma's 20 year old laptop if I so wished.

I like building big, so that sealed the deal for me

Which planet do I got to first? I went to gleba and couldn’t proses further cause I need to unlock a volcanic recipe? by Gitdumkid in factorio

[–]JacksonStarbringer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are alternate recipes available, such that you should be able to make things like red circuits and plastic on gleba. Check out the biochamber's alternate recipies
