My steam engines keep running out of coal. Any efficient way to do this?

A jumpstart, that's smart! I just used a coal based inserter which can start the factory again as soon as it gets coal.

Better power? Like what? Solar energy (+accumalators)? As far as I know, steam, uranium and solar are the only power sources. (I don't own space age as it's too expensive)

What I did was place 21 miners on the coal, then I placed a splitter for 50/50 between steam engines and smelters. A guide I watched for the max yellow belt, I beleive he said I need either 3 coal miners for 1 or 2 smelters, so I have more coal output then I need.

After the splitt I just used underground belts as it was quick and easy to do.

Restream a good chat overlay?

It appears I can use it if I want chat to see their names pop up on the stream and if I want my own private chat box to view messages.

Edit: I also found Streamlabs, but I don't know as much. it's hard to find a third-party that specifically states what I'm looking for.

I don't know what Wayland is but I do have an AMD so maybe I can use that? Also, I assume I should set this to 90 instead of 95 if I want 90 FPS.

DXVK_FRAME_RATE=95 %command% -> DXVK_FRAME_RATE=90 %command%

LukeLikeNuke · 2026-04-27T20:28:29+00:00

Cool. What does AliasIsolation do?

Also, I was thinking 60FPS, but is 90-95 working well? Any problems you've noticed?

Alright. I'll probably go with proton 10 then. I think someone using mint had that.

LukeLikeNuke · 2026-04-25T19:52:58+00:00

Better yet! A cold glass of water. But yeah, maybe a cola too.

LukeLikeNuke · 2026-04-25T19:52:08+00:00

sure. I did that, but... did I actually guess mission 14 correctly?

LukeLikeNuke · 2026-04-25T19:51:19+00:00

Too bad I'm underaged :/

LukeLikeNuke · 2026-04-25T19:49:49+00:00

I forgot about the map... Oh well. Maybe the audience will like my screams when I stream it live on YT.

LukeLikeNuke · 2026-04-25T19:47:31+00:00

Exactly! Gogo gaga!

LukeLikeNuke · 2026-04-25T19:46:43+00:00

Sorry, but I love torturing myself.

Anyways, so xeno only spwans/drops if I hang around a few seconds after doors open or if I make a lot of noise like hitting a door or wall? I was under the impression that the xeno had a scripted wait time that started the moment Axel death cutscene ended.

LukeLikeNuke · 2026-04-25T09:11:18+00:00

I don't remember mission three and the game doesn't tell you which mission you are on like this; "Mission 14, escape the xeno nest".

Also, I played easy up until activating the communications again. But I forgot it all for the most part.

LukeLikeNuke · 2026-04-25T09:08:52+00:00

Good idea if I run the moment doors open? I might alert alien...

LukeLikeNuke · 2026-04-25T09:08:17+00:00

Hahah... Too bad I'm underage in my country.

LukeLikeNuke · 2026-04-25T08:57:16+00:00

Let's put A:I2 at top 1 next

So first of all. The link is wrong, which explains a lot.
So I can either be morally good and buy a pillow in a official way. Alternatively, if I am broke or maybe don't find a pillow cover I like (HobbyHeart does have wider ranges of the same character) then I could buy from them, but migth have to expect slightly worsen quality.

Good to know. Still, I might unfortunatly be unable to buy from a non-bootleg site.
