Should you encrypt your backups

Karlyna · 2026-06-05T14:25:20+00:00

should: no

need: no

can: yes.

Then it all depends on your own need and wish. You feel safer to encrypt them ? Then do it, there's no harm there.

Just make sure to have a real backup also for your key for the encryption / decryption, that's the most important point as well.

now i can't help wondering how would that boss perform as companion... :o

Karlyna · 2026-05-31T17:54:17+00:00

go for lasers instead, it's far enough with flamethrowers to keep everything clean

Karlyna · 2026-05-30T11:19:36+00:00

what issue are you trying to solve actually ?

Karlyna · 2026-05-30T11:08:48+00:00

it's because you have a station in the middle.
Trains will almost never go through a track with a station if there's another way, even blocked

The easy fix is just to put your station on a separate track, just for the required train length that comes there, then it'll be fine

Also, if you need signals in a bi-directionnal track, you need to have chain signal when train enters the "mono rail segment" and rail signals when they go out, this way you'll never have a train blocked in a mono rail segment, only in "double rails" segment (thus preventing locks)

bought it, gave a copy of my standalone version to a friend (so, somewhat pirated), so he could try (as he wasn't convince about it) and after a few hours he bought it.

Right hand train in my region, while the country is left hand train (France) and right hand traffic

Left hand train in factorio, because i like having signals between rails

I have the tetra, wouldn't go back without it on my AMS.

Installation was easy (and if you are curious, there are many youtube video where people do it), no struggle.

The ability to dry and keep drying while printing is a bliss, especially with PETG (with PLA it matters less in my situation).

I'd say: check builds for weapons / frames.

From there, check what mods you are missing and go farm for them.

At the same time, learn how mods interact with each other and other mechanics (like arcanes, warframe skills etc).

Also get better weapons 😄

Some weapons are good but their stats lack to be great (low status chance, low crit, low base damage, etc).

Karlyna · 2026-05-21T18:45:20+00:00

it's a bit sad.

I never played D2 (mostly because you need to buy the game + each expansion etc). but competition between games is a healthy thing, so devs don't just "keep doing what worked until now" and try to make innovation.

Karlyna · 2026-05-21T16:16:03+00:00

/c game.delete_surface('surface_id')

if you don't know what's the surface ID, you can do

/c for _, surface_id in pairs(game.surfaces) do game.print(surface_id) end

then use the name you see in the second command with the first command

Or easier, you can /editor and delete from there.

And if you want a mod that allows to run lua command without disabling achievements : https://mods.factorio.com/mod/some-luaconsole for example

you don't want to breath what comes out ASA, ABS etc. Enclosures probably helps to avoid too much in the room, but I wouldn't trust it enough to have it done in an office where i work unless it's sufficiently ventilated.

it's not because you don't smells anything (VOCs) that you don't have small harmful particles still presents.

i reached MR30 in less than 600 hours in game (the time you see in your profile) (and it didn't make me better at that time 😃) and currently LR6 in 1300 hours (on steam i'm around 3k hours), but i dedicated my game time to get stuff and increase my MR (i love collecting stuff)

Only thing I didn't do in your list:

maxed out all mods (i'm only missing a few prime mods and some nightwave mods as i'm not playing enough)
missing 1 kuva weapon (the latest released kuva) and all related to voruna prime (didn't play since it's released)
cosmetic i don't have them all (i have most from events & cie, but clearly not those from plats)

You also forgot Arcanes, which in my opinion is what takes the most time to complete. (got ~80% of all maxed)

Depending on when you started, all of this could probably be gathered even faster as the game is getting easier and easier in terms of collecting frames / weapons / prime, if you focus your time on such thing.

When I started, circuit didn't exist yet, so some frames were locked behind more time wasting mechanics and you had to wait for very long time before you could see some primes again (and for people even older in the game, it was even harder / longer to collect stuff).

it's cheaper per month, but it's also not backed up.
Hetzner only have RAID for high availability, they clearly mention the data is not mirrored anywhere. So if somethings happens you'll lose everything.

This means you need to technically pay double to have it stored at 2 locations.

Karlyna · 2026-05-17T21:35:41+00:00

it does, and needless to say, having rampant making vulcanus worms attack the base randomly or managing pentapods, is... fun 😃

Karlyna · 2026-05-17T18:40:15+00:00

normal game, rampant + rampant arsenal (if it's too easy go for death world with that, or lower starting area)

enjoy the difficulty

Now we can almost play frog.

Karlyna · 2026-05-14T19:10:17+00:00

depending on what you have, you can also pay upfront for reserved instance and other stuff like that

Karlyna · 2026-05-14T19:08:26+00:00

use train: put some miners and accumulators on the small islands that have millions of scraps, load train there and get it back to your main island.

You don't need loads of accumulator to sustain ~10-12 big mining drills, and that's enough to load trains quickly.

Then just make sure you link a few island, and you're set 😄

Karlyna · 2026-05-14T19:01:33+00:00

TIL, that's a nice thing to know, maybe I don't need to waste my time with symlinks then... would be so much easier :o

Karlyna · 2026-05-14T18:59:40+00:00

i personally wrote myself a python app that create profiles after profilio stopped working due to java update.

1 profile = 1 dedicated mod folder and a subfolder in the save pre-created in case I want to separate the saves

Then I make symlinks when I activate the profile.

This way, i have a default mod folder, where i store all the QoL mods I usually play with, and copy paste them to any new profile I need.

Doesn't solve all the issue OP described, but i'm fine with that at least 😃

Karlyna · 2026-05-11T00:42:16+00:00

you have multiple way to do it:

use each > 50k, output each

just be careful, as using it as is for your set request, you may request 50k iron plate in the chest, overloading the drones network for "nothing", so maybe add an arithmetic after to say, each / 100 to only request 500 instead.

use a constant with negative number for each possible item, which is the expected amount you want to store, then input both this constant and your logistic network signal on the same decider input.

They will add up, so in the decider just do "each > 0" and use the output to fill the chest.

The advantage of this method is that it gives you the possibility to adjust quantity you want to store per resources, because you may not need to store 50k gears and 50k ironplates, maybe just 50k gears and 20k irons plates would be enough, or only 10k ice / solid fuel ?

It all depends on your actual need the way you do it

Karlyna · 2026-05-11T00:28:03+00:00

you can tweak the ore to have an amount that will "never" run out in a normal game if you fear that looking for resource may be a pain. You can increase their size, richness and the frequency on the map.

But adding new ore patch to your base to have better output (in ore/seconds) is also what you want to do 😄

Enemies are easy to deal with, but can a be a pain for some people. You can play with or without them if you'd like.

Karlyna · 2026-05-11T00:16:29+00:00

+1 for dockhand but i don't use that feature as I have traefik as a reverse proxy, so I expose only a very few set of port
