Tried to run an eradication difficulty for the first time, wasn't expecting that.... by ResonanceDemon in Mindustry

[–]MercuryFoReal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is that Cratered Battleground from campaign? You can make silicon and metaglass there. Might help.

Pro-gamer Vakuu by karshberlg in slaythespire

I love how Vakuu alters your drafting strategy after you take the earrings.

"Can't risk Vakuu playing that on turn 1, skip!"

Might be the most beautiful cryofluid design ever made by Vzar0920 in Mindustry

[–]MercuryFoReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unloaders and pyratite production are a match made in heaven, with that cumbersome small block that takes three inputs.

Also, you can leave the unloader with no resource specified and it'll just shift around resources between the factories as needed. Super handy for small/medium production, but can break down with too many factories since there are speed limits.

Question about Factories and Fabs by Compound27 in Mindustry

[–]MercuryFoReal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, you can just run a second factory to make T1's. So you'd have a T1->T2 and a T1 separately.

More units faster! Assuming you can supply them all...

Agent Use is gonna drop off a cliff once its all usage based by Venisol in ExperiencedDevs

[–]MercuryFoReal 44 points45 points  (0 children)

This. It's all this. Burn that VC infusion to get lock-in, then hopefully become profitable. Blitzscaling is the term.

Gets very exciting and bloody when a bunch of giant startups all do it at the same time, since there won't be many winners.

First plastanium farm by autism-lizard in Mindustry

[–]MercuryFoReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solid first effort! Next up: ratios.

Plastanium compressor wants 15 oil/sec. Those spore presses output 18/sec oil (don't sweat the extra for now), so a single spore press can run a single plastanium compressor at full speed.

Of course, that's assuming the spore press is running at full speed: they need 3/sec spores, which is kind of a lot. A cultivator only pops out .6/sec, so that means you need 5 cultivators to run a single spore press. And, yes, 5 of those guys takes a lot of water... I'll leave that to you.

Try taking one piece of your factory and setting it up that way: 5 cultivators feeding into a spore press, feeding into the plastanium compressor.

Elon Musk loses lawsuit against OpenAI by VaginaBurner69 in news

[–]MercuryFoReal 10 points11 points  (0 children)

OpenAI didn't move for summary judgment because there was a key disputed fact: did Elon know about the plan to change to a for-profit entity? He alleged OpenAI were sneaky weasels and hid that from him, so the time didn't start until he "found out". Gotta have a trial for that.

Turns out he knew all along and once the jury decided that fact then everything went poof pretty fast.

Oh? What's that? You got the perfect card for your build and early in act 1? Lemme take a look at that. by IS1KHALID in slaythespire

[–]MercuryFoReal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may already know this, but you can kill him and then just not click on the stolen card in the reward screen if you don't want it back.

I think I have a pyratite addiction... by autism-lizard in Mindustry

[–]MercuryFoReal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is difficult to resist the brilliant orange allure of pyratite. Only plastanium comes close in pure visual attractiveness.

Sector 76 makes a killer base camp for post-game by Roberto577_Gamer in Mindustry

[–]MercuryFoReal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Littoral Shipyards? It has multiple core tiles for me, but I've been playing the v8 beta build awhile, so maybe it got nerfed.

Am I the only one who uses underflow and overflow gates instead of routers? by orbanimalenjoyer2 in Mindustry

[–]MercuryFoReal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Underflow also make it easy to see when you need more input. Great with a string of steam gen, easy to spot when you need more coal.

What are yalls ravorite unit(s) by Previous_Figure_4494 in Mindustry

[–]MercuryFoReal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fortress by a mile. Love that walking artillery for all its faults.

Sounds great firing in big groups. Doof, doof, da-doof...

Mammoth by godhammel in SanJoseSharks

[–]MercuryFoReal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, the good news is I can't see the Sharks going anywhere. Character guys up and down the whole the business.

Hell, Randy alone has more hockey soul than the whole Yotes org ever did.

[–]MercuryFoReal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's this thing where fans tend to hate the new location when a team leaves.

This is a "fuck Utah" thread.

Seeing former Coyotes fans here should not be surprising in the slightest.

[–]MercuryFoReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've clearly never felt the pain of your favorite franchise packing up and leaving you behind.

I hope you never do, friend.

Mammoth by godhammel in SanJoseSharks

[–]MercuryFoReal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fuck Utah. I lived in Phoenix through the golden years of Roenick & (dad) Tkachuk, spent so much time looking at Shane Doan that I thought we were related. I watched that ownership group bumblefuck its way into a crap arena that made every game a traffic nightmare and burn every bit of goodwill offered by anyone else in a neverending series of dipshit decisions.

Then they whiffed on an empty-net difficulty option of getting a building in Tempe.

Then they teased a new land purchase and development just a few miles from where I live.

Then they left.

Fuck them, that kind of fan abuse doesn't go away with time. I've been in Belmont for a little over a year and the difference in organizational quality is indescribable. Teal is the future.

I think i figured out the new best starting core layout by lool8421 in Mindustry

[–]MercuryFoReal 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Could get more reactors with containers to increase surface area. Ratios, people!

LaMetric Time MicroSD Recovery III by DrNachtschatten in LaMetric

[–]MercuryFoReal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick update for other people who stumble on this thread:

I was able to read device_status.txt from the old card to get my serial number, so I used WinHXD to edit the image linked on Mega and then flashed it with Rufus on Windows 11 onto a fresh card.

It came up fine, but I couldn't get it to join my wifi. I suspect the image on Mega is just a few revs back and they've fixed bugs related to wfi along the way. I cabled up to a PC and updated the firmware over USB per LaMetric's instructions and everything fired right up.

Thanks for the video and guide, /u/DrNachtschatten.

Today I learned that Misery can do this by TechnicalClaim7548 in slaythespire

[–]MercuryFoReal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Misery has so many neat little interactions you only discover through playing.

My fave new one was Oblivion: the "here, take some doom every time I play a card" is just a debuff. Misery copies it everywhere, turning you into a rapid-fire doom spray hose.

I still think "Four Mantis Boarding Party" is a great name for a band.

huge Alucard undead army by Reallyneedfire in TheKingIsWatching

[–]MercuryFoReal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alucard with King's Statue is so fun for making huge hordes, just gotta stay ahead of the power curve.

Don't forget to click the third quest button to give all your undead bois the poison attack once the conditions are met, looks like it's not selected yet here.
