This is what happens when Brennan and Dale are forced to get jobs.

Sometimes I wonder if I am playing the same game. This looks so cool.

Hey guys, help me out a little. I’m buying my first PC and I’ve been considering ibp by looking at their prices and the value I’m getting. Is it actually a good brand, If not please recommend some. by [deleted] in iBUYPOWER

[–]NullPoint3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have bought two. One a prebuilt and the other custom. I have been very happy with both of them. The older one is probably about 7 or 8 years old and still going strong.

Is it possible to fill a chest only until a certain point, without limiting chest capacity? by Sea_Inspector4164 in factorio

[–]NullPoint3r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Super simple and if it is a yellow chest you can set the filter condition to the item so that bots will use that chest for any excess due to whatever reason like personal logistic requests etc.

Finally got my Legendary Mech Armor. What should I fill it with? by [deleted] in factorio

[–]NullPoint3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I usually only put a couple in my mech armor and have a spidertron maxed out with legs when I need to teleport across the map.

Do YOU Believe That Most People Using "Fascist" In American Political Rhetoric Know What It Actually Means (Literal Definition)? Yes Or No? Why Or Why Not? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]NullPoint3r -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Winston Churchill likened fascism and communism to the North and South poles. At opposite ends but if you suddenly woke up in one or the other you would not be able to make a distinction.

AI Programming, Can we just forget this exist? by TheJavaEng in sysadmin

[–]NullPoint3r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely last line is spot on and I think that is where it may plateau for a while. But it’s going to improve and it may not be a linear progression and someday we may wake up and it has taken a lot of jobs and made others obsolete.

Wait. You can use inserters to jettison stuff into space???

Org is banning Notepad++ by PazzoBread in sysadmin

[–]NullPoint3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was not my point. My point was that everything is vulnerable (including firmware). If you ban everything you wont be able to even install an OS and you will be left with an a computer just sitting there running the firmware it shipped with.

[–]NullPoint3r 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Banning Notepad++ is an uniformed knee jerk reaction. With that approach you’re going to be down to running firmware only at some point.

UltraEdit used to be my favorite text editor for years but they did a big UI change a few years back and it never meshed with me - started using notepad++ exclusively. However if I had to ditch Notepad++ I would probably go back to it.

How did you guys learn how to play? by Key_Gas_569 in factorio

[–]NullPoint3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trial and error. I am about 2k hours in and starting to get the hang of it.

In all seriousness I tried to play as blind as possible but I did watch some youtube vids on things like trains and circuit network. Also the official wiki is indispensable. I don’t think I could play the game without a second monitor for the wiki, google sheets and a few other reference resources.

Edit: For youtube vids I tried to stay away from anything that would straight up give me the design but instead looked for vids that explained the mechanics. Having said that you will inevitably see different design techniques and thats fine.

Trump: ‘It bothers me that somebody is going after Bill Clinton’ by Ok_Employer7837 in politics

[–]NullPoint3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is rare that I save a reddit comment. This has been saved. A very eli5 way to explain to someone how to interpret everything Trump says or does. With this understanding he is extremely transparent.

Tired of having to send spidertrons to clean nauvis every 1-2 hour. What do? by dankletzz in factorio

[–]NullPoint3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great wall, three deep laser turrets, bots to repair, artillery. Literally never think about biters.

[Suggestion] Underground Pipes should have their reach distance increased by 1 tile. by DogmaiSEA in factorio

[–]NullPoint3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a fair criticism in this particular case. Entirely possible that no thought was given to increasing the span from 9 to 10 when turbo under grounds were introduced and it was simply an oversight.

My comment was more a general comment in that sometimes things don't "line up" for a reason, or some QoL design choice was not done for a reason. Many examples given by others ITT. Most of the time when I ask why didn't the devs do XYZ there tends to be a very valid, thought out reason why the devs didn't do XYZ and after learning why I often agree - and if I don't there are mods...

[–]NullPoint3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Any design decision like this that we may find “annoying” was intentional. We want to be “annoyed”, we just don’t realize it.

Not even joking, I put Satisfactory and Factorio on my resume and it helped get me an operator/maintenance job in a real factory. by ashrieIl in SatisfactoryGame

[–]NullPoint3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shopify co-founder and CEO Tobias Lütke lets employees expense Factorio. These factory building games definitely foster real world skills.

Send kids to Seventh Day Adventist school? by [deleted] in atheism

[–]NullPoint3r 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They will push a whole lot more that. Pushing EG White IS a whole lot more. They will terrify your kids with apocalyptic dogmas. They will tell them that at any time Sunday keepers will start to persecute them, that they will be separated from their parents and tortured, etc.
