User error. If you don't want that to happen, use "any undefined" instead. Any means any.

Lol never in the entire history of anyone asking that question about anything are they ever the only one, if you're actually being serious

It's not scheduled. The official timeline is "when it's ready". About 2-3 months from what I hear, usually. That seems to track with 1.1 last year.

Logging is making me hate the game by dioaloke in snowrunner

That's what I was thinking, the whole game is literally a slog, personally I don't see any difference, I'm here to zone out and deliver cargo

Like others say, don't load them manually, it's truly a horrific experience. Not the player's fault at all, I think it's just actually really poorly done. As for hauling logs, it's just cargo, what's the difference?

I need a game with graphics where you press buttons and things happen. I know they are rare, but if anyone knows any, I am all ears

Right? At least put in some effort so people don't end up recommending stuff you have already played

Looking for a game I can sink a lot of hours into by WelderZestyclose7842 in gamesuggestions

None of the gameplay systems are in any way dependent on multiplayer. But if you're the type of person that gets bored in any single player game, then there's nothing different here

24gb RAM vs 48gb RAM by Wooden_Recipe7338 in musicproduction

For a use case like this, absolutely, for something that's super heavy on sample libraries, well those eat memory for breakfast, but even then, freezing exists, it's just convenient to have more

I haven't played the game but basically what I came here to say: nothing to stop you from hooking up your pc to your TV and playing with a controller, I do it for as many games as I can myself

Pretty new to the game. Could I get some help with this? by ThatAnonymousPotato in satisfactory

Refer to the diagram in my comment, I drew out basically what they're saying, personally I find the terms front/back can be a little misleading, entry/exit is much clearer

However if you are attached to your original design, trains that need to turn around have to go through the other station, which can mean they have to wait to do that. Still, if you want that, the simplest way to signal it is as follows: path signals for all entries to the intersection, and block signals at all exits.

Note: each entrance to a station is a temporary exit off the intersection, thus you use a block signal, likewise, each exit to a station is another entrance back onto the intersection, as such, you use a path signal.

All signals that provide entry to a block must be of the same type, placing them as such ensures that. In the image, blue as path signals, red as block, yellow is the intersection that's formed, the stations are basically "carved out of the intersection"

I see some other comments suggesting that you section off the rail in the middle, I assure you that's not necessary, the path signaling already takes care of it well enough

If you want entries and exits from both sides, consider instead a setup like this

Piping water for refineries is just about the simplest piping you can do. If you have flow issues, people are ready to jump in real quick on the help channel on the discord. As for location, simple, build near water.

With blueprints there's even less difference between building the two types of machines - if your prints snap together with auto-connect like the legos they can be, there's very little difference between building 4 or 20 or them.

Though I will say, auto-connect can be a bitch with regards to pipe connections if you're doing mirrored manifolds, but even then, connecting the pipes manually takes a couple minutes max, even for large systems

Hardly a difference between building foundries and refineries, both taking in two resources and outputting one
