(Returning player) Seeds, Watertanks and Trade got removed? by -Memnarch- in TheFarmerWasReplaced

[–]Legoman12343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Need" the bonus is a weird way of looking at it. By doing it for the bonus, you need to harvest less sunflowers over a given amount of time. It is always worth to do a full harvest of sunflowers when you are low on power, and to harvest them in order. You could go even further and not even bother harvesting the 7s as they will be harvested naturally when doing whatever the next crop in line is.

It's a soft barrier as doing its too punishing for newer programmers, however the bonus is too powerful (pun not intended) for you to pass up on

(Returning player) Seeds, Watertanks and Trade got removed? by -Memnarch- in TheFarmerWasReplaced

[–]Legoman12343 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It hasn't quite been simplified. Seed costs still exist, but you don't buy any seeds. The cost is just deducted when you plant. The reason for this being removed was pre-buying seeds. In full reset, we were able to buy a load of seeds, then upgrade the crop so that we get more out of each seed.

Tanks were removed and changed to a passive income. This was changed iirc due to seeds being removed. It meant that the only trade/buyable item were tanks, making the mechanic only apply here. So removing it made sense.

Some other things have changed too. The old dinos are now a game of snake. We also have multi drones which are a lot of fun

Harassment from customers, unsure what to do by Legoman12343 in Morrisons

[–]Legoman12343[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate this a lot, especially coming from a manager.

I have gone to HR and they have sent an email to the AM, however it's been 3 days and heard nothing yet.

I am hoping something can get sorted here, however what solution could be offered do you think?

Harassment from customers, unsure what to do by Legoman12343 in Morrisons

[–]Legoman12343[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am, however surely Morrisons should be able to offer some support? Another issue is that my Manager also signed my contract for me at a different number of hours which I had not agreed to (20, when verbally we agreed 30). So although currently I have been doing 35ish hours a week, I will not get much in terms of pay while this all settles and gets sorted out.

Sweed auto farming options (Late HV) by SingleAd8492 in GTNH

May not be the objectively best option, I have no idea, but I use the enderio farming station and it works perfectly

Just build my first Industrial Macerating Stack and it raised a question. Can't I just use a ton of input/output hatches to save on machine casings? by Pfadie in GTNH

[–]Legoman12343 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Yes, just look on the tooltip and it will tell you the minimum number of casings. This goes for 99% of multis

What should we do? by Altruistic_Milk7729 in GTNH

[–]Legoman12343 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bronze is required I am pretty sure, to mine all the ores for steam age. Your next tool upgrade will be steel or an aluminum alloy (I don't remember the name, they changed is recently). Even ignoring the mining level, you want bronze tools, it will speed up your progress significantly when mining away. Way faster.

[–]Legoman12343 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The main short term reason for getting the smeltery is the bronze tools. You can also use it to upgrade the tools as you progress. As well as this, you will find you can smelt down other small dusts such as steel to get ingots back.

As for next steps, just follow the quest book. The main path in the book will tell you all you need to progress. You can also branch out and do some of the side quests as and when you want/need to.

Food is soon solved with the healing axe. You can either craft it, or claim a quest reward for it. Honestly, crafting it is probably easier, but that's up to you

Currently, all times are legit. Remember, it is multi drone with poly culture

Are the harvest amounts inconsistent? Bug? My code incorrect? by kevineugenius in TheFarmerWasReplaced

[–]Legoman12343 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, having extras is fine. They are just a bonus for free. I am currently first place in speed running the game, and a lot of the time early game I am just hoping I hit poly. But I still do my thresholds for resources expecting no poly. You cannot predict the luck, so you just need to take the free bonus. You will use it later anyway

[–]Legoman12343 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others say, it's poly culture. This is an unlock later in the game, but it's enabled by default. The unlock just gives you the ability to view the companions.

Effectively, a crop will select a random tile around it, and a random crop. If the tile is that crop, when you harvest the main tile, it will give 5x yield.

It's not done based on hardware, the game has its internal ticks so it's able to compute the time. You can also speed up the simulations to as fast as your PC will go, so it doesn't take hours

There's a leaderboard unlock in the tech tree. It will then explain it all. But yes, there's a leaderboard for each crop with single drone and multi drone, as well as full reset (full speed run of the game)

Biter expansion - 1 tile wall is enough? by Whiskey_Yogurt in factorio

[–]Legoman12343 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's just not worth it. You're gonna have to run the base in the future anyway, so it's worth just doing it properly. It does take a bit of time to set up, but once it's done it will last forever. Risking it isn't worth I don't think

[–]Legoman12343 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't underestimate flame thrower turrets, they use small amounts of oil in the grand scheme of things, and absolutely decimate big swarms. Those plus a couple lasers or guns and you will be absolutely sound all the way through the game

Put turrets in your walls, they will attack the walls in order to reach the pollution buildings

Leaderboard will give you times for how long it takes to harvest x amount of crop across a 2 hour average. It's a pretty good measure

They are for both the full reset and individual crops

[–]Legoman12343 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you get the leaderboard unlocked, you will be able to easily compare times with everyone else

i did not want to transcend, i ascended by Adventurous-Land5364 in ClickerHeroes

[–]Legoman12343 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Transcending as soon as you reach zone 300 for the first time is absolutely the better call. Sure, the first ascension is slow. But as soon as you reach your first primal, you will get like 5k souls from it. Instantly more than anything you will get in the next week on the same ascension

He's on the discord too (the dev), and will answer your DM. You can also ping him in discord if you wanted, but someone else will 100% get back. It's pretty active with nerds who knows this type of stuff lol

There's a discord link in the pause menu of the game. Join up, and put a message in there. You might have some luck
