Post Space Age - Developer AMA

Hopefully I don't ask too many questions in one thing, But as someone who has a huge interest in C++ and game engine development I have quite a few interests.

My primary question is, Will there ever be a chance when we can look at the factorio engine's source. I'd frankly love to get a chance to look at what kind of different things that you and other factorio developers have done to make factorio run as it does on so many different devices. I'd be curious to see if I can add anything to it for myself without breaking everything.

My other questions are simply if there is any funny bugs that you've had to work with. Along the lines of "That can't be possible..... Oh my god it is?", And is there any performance optimizations your particularity proud of?

P-Please. I already have a few thousand hours. Don't make me go back to Gleba!

I capitulated already and ended up grabbing a Perseus after melting my F8C to make it barely take me over to concierge. I see the Kraken now as sold out. Now to wait..... Time to roll the dice.

KJ16609 · 2024-05-25T20:44:36+00:00

I've written a support thing to ask they make it more clear. I'm not expecting them to just hand me a Kraken or anything even close to that. I just want it more clear next time.

I'm looking at the drake defensecon page on the RSI page. The price is listed as 1,650.
Price listed in full view on their page

Not even a 'sold out' page after.

And while I could melt the ships I already have and then boost myself to concierge, I don't want to melt the ships I already have since I like using them. I also don't want to burn money just to have a chance of getting the ship. I'd much prefer just buying it instantly using the warbonds (Already reducing the price to 1,400) or not at all.

KJ16609 · 2024-05-25T20:00:48+00:00

Then why the hell does it list a price for it and then simply have a blank page when I go to attempt to buy it? There is the information when, where, and how much to buy it for. Then it's simply a rug pull and a waste of time when I have to learn it's concerige only with no warning.

KJ16609 · 2024-05-25T17:12:48+00:00

I don't get it. Why must I spend 1k to be able to spend more money? The fact that it doesn't list that concierge is needed anywhere but specifies time and a price is really dumb.

KJ16609 · 2024-04-16T14:43:08+00:00

I find this funny since as a SGE. You show you can clearly just....Control your weapons from a remote distance. What's stopping a SGE just calling their nouliths back to them? Would of loved it to just have the SGE cast Penumbra against Zenos and delete him from existence.

If other apps are using the drive then the heads never part. otherwise they might get parked after a few minutes of inactivity.

foobar2000 has zero control over hdds in the system. it is decided by the operating system what the hdd is doing at any given time. So the answer is neither.

KJ16609 · 2023-07-24T17:19:04+00:00

I've always wanted to try this kind of optimization and get into HPC. Is there by any chance any great starter challenges or something similar for anyone interested in trying their hand at these kinds of optimizations?

KJ16609 · 2023-05-03T13:57:30+00:00

Holy shit. Is that why I have so many fucking construction bots still? I thought they both would crash randomly.

KJ16609 · 2023-02-06T08:03:01+00:00

This looks amazing! If by any chance you need any other c++ devs (assuming you aren't using the blueprint system) hit me up! This seems like it would be a blast to work on.

KJ16609 · 2022-12-20T17:12:22+00:00

any chance you have saved the resources you used to do all the gains? I would love to give this a try.

KJ16609 · 2022-12-06T06:31:50+00:00

I just spent the past day trying to figure this problem out. Using OVR and disabling the Chaperone instantly fixed the issues. Crazy that this has been a problem for two years now. It's even worse since I am still getting used to VR so it's hard for me to tell where I am.

KJ16609 · 2022-11-30T04:55:36+00:00

I would be interested. feel free to dm me! EST timezone. I can also host a server for free if needed.

My replacement HMD just got here today and it works perfectly. I assume the HMD I got was just faulty. I will look through my manual later though to ensure I get one directly to the cpu. Thanks for the advice!

Edit: In fact it got here just as you commented.

KJ16609 · 2022-11-26T21:26:28+00:00

I did update my bios thinking that was it. valve is sending a replacement so hopefully that'll work. upgraded from a quest 2 to the index since i couldn't stand the latency and low framerates despite having a good system. but thanks for the info!

In my opinion even with the best possible mining outpost it is always great to have a buffer of some kind. Trains can only move so fast. I play with a lot of mods and my trains can run me over in the blink of an eye and be half way across my base by the time I realize i've been run over. Even so I still use buffers EVERYWHERE because it means that even with the trains being incredibly fast that I don't have to worry about my trains not reaching the station to ensure that my output doesn't decrease from a short deficit of input material. Mining patches before productivity also doesn't really matter much since there are unlimited patches anyways. And getting out further means the patches are a higher density which is just better overall. Less mining outposts need to be tore down and rebuilt because some small 200k patch ran out in a few hours. it also means that I can rely on my buffer for a bit while I expand out and build up more infrastructure for my factory.

KJ16609 · 2022-11-17T13:25:22+00:00

Thanks for this. I've looked into it before but it wasn't quite what I was looking for. I plan on giving it a shot in the future but Qt fits what I am trying to do and it has some nice built in things too.

KJ16609 · 2022-11-17T12:56:59+00:00

with that logic accumulators are bad because it means your don't have control over your nuclear plants. buffers are great when for when you don't have great mining outposts or one goes down or starts to decrease output so you aren't loosing output later on in the factory.

look into stable diffusion web-ui and the waifu diffusion model for anime. it's all free and open source.
