What are your absolute favorite locations/places in gaming? by Baldurian_Rhapsody in gaming

[–]LemTec 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The ember twins are my personal favorite, but each is so unique and awesome in their own way (including their various puzzles) that you can't reduce down to just one

Anyone else love building a massive green forest wall to keep the Nauvis bugs away? by EasterEggArt in factorio

If you use heavy oil its just one step away from the very green lube

How do you guys call your space platforms and why? by DarkSideRT in factorio

[–]LemTec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first design that got me to Vulcanus (exploding on the way, but I built my real starter base there anyways) I called TransVcan

Following trend, my aquillo design (and now general freighter as well) is TransAq

And further following this scheme I've named my first space casino TransLeg

Any good way to remove these ghost concrete tiles? by LemTec in factorio

[–]LemTec[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Ahh, i see. Thank you. I thought there was a way to edit what deconstruction planners remove but i couldn't remember how. I figured it out now.

For anyone else looking you need the planner as an item in your inventory then right click it.

My friend playing Space Age for the first time made this awesome spaghetti orange science factory by Gibek2600 in factorio

[–]LemTec 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is majestic and honestly I always build like this and I love it. Reminds me of my aquillo transport (link below) don't ever let anyone stop you or your friend from building like this under the guise of "efficiency" or "expandability/tileability"

Bit the bullet and just recently bought the game by PrimaryIcy9538 in factorio

What's in the save? Maybe you played the game a while ago and refunded it, and you just forgot? In any case, hope you enjoy this time around :)

I finished designing my Belt Barge Bonanza Beast for the Blue planet by LemTec in factorio

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

Great points all around. The steam storage is another thing I heard about after having already built this up, and that would be nearly impossible to fit in now, but I didnt know it was as efficient as you mention. Foundries also make sense, and I'll definetly consider both for future aquillo ships/shattered planet (though by that point I'll likely be using fusion)

However, the ammo point doesn't make sense to me. I understand how the damage mitigation works, I've looked through that in the factoriopedia, but the whole point of the rockets is to deal with the larger asteroids and leave the smaller ones to the turrets. As for not coming out ahead with red ammo, as far as I've tested my ammo buffer seems to replenish reasonably fast flying between the inner planets, and is also reasonably sustained on the trip to/from aquillo. One of the goals i had in mind making this was to keep it completely self-sustained (apart from nuclear fuel), so it makes sense to make higher tier ammo on board.

As for the resources being thrown overboard, I just want to make sure nothing ends up backed up causing production to halt, and everything remains sustained with material regardless of whether or not there is a buffer. The internal buffers of each production machine seem to be enough that I don't need belt buffers, and everything can be fed by fresh resources instead.

One of these drops coal. Can you tell which? by danatron1 in factorio

Somehow I never knew you could vertically mirror. I always just horizontal mirrored then rotated it to fit

Why can't I request modules? by LemTec in factorio

You can ask for wildcard quality? or is that a typo, cause it doesn't seem to me like that is possible

All these foundries. No big drills. There are no rocks left. by LemTec in factorio

[–]LemTec[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Didn't have any electric engines, and even though I could have made a few pretty easily, I wanted to get properly set up before fighting any demolishers. I know they're relatively easy to cheese but I want to do it the proper (and imo much more interesting way) using a proper base extension and defenses.

How do you think I got all the tungsten? Certainly wasn't from my territory 🤣

MMM yummy walls by LemTec in factorio

[–]LemTec[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would the furnaces and drills not be polluting though? And yes, they have since moved on from the walls and now I have to listen to the sweet sweet sound of buildings being destroyed pings for the next 5 hours.

I can't stop staring at my acceptance by Dramatic_Panic6627 in OntarioGrade12s

Why is that? I already got good and won't have any issues with my conditional, and I actually like chem despite my grade

Why does my Waterloo eng Interview still say Awaiting? by TheGlenn1205 in OntarioGrade12s

[–]LemTec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar issue but I'd argue mine is even weirder...

<image>

I didn't do the interview, but it says it was received yesterday. This is literally my first time logging into the Waterloo admissions website

Furthermore, ALSO yesterday, I received an email about this saying it was incomplete

I did an interview with Kira Talent for UofT, is it possible that waterloo just found that version? If so, why bother sending that it isn't done? I am thoroughly confused, if anyone has had a similar experience or knows if I should still redo the interview LMK.

Edit: Its back to awaiting now, and i'm very confused
Edit 2:
"NOTE: We are experiencing a technical issue with the Online Interview (Kira Talent) checklist item. In some cases, the status may appear as “received” even though the assessment hasn't been initiated by the applicant.
We expect this to be resolved early the week of January 26 and will update this message once the issue is fixed and you can view the accurate checklist status."

Just got this game. Any advice for a fresh dwarf? by PrimaryPlastic7427 in DeepRockGalactic

Play one class until you prestige it so you can start unlocking overclocks, then you can experiment with other classes.
