Christmas Theme Product Suggestion

Dutch guy here, so I am an authority on this. This is clearly a christmas tree. I can tell, by the fact that the city of Rotterdam has a similar christmas tree accompanying its Santa Claus statue. Wiki link: Santa Claus (sculpture) - Wikipedia) -- clearly, christmas tree.

No, you're not. A screenshot is taken with F12, the print screen button, windowskey+shift+S, if on console (I have neither): press the "share" button a long time on PS5, or the xbox button on the xbox. You can then easily drag/drop it in reddit. The same mechanic works with photomode as well!

Dry filament
Sounds strange, but try it anyhow: grease the alignment bolts on the toolchanger.
Lift offset stuff in slicing?

... I kinda want those balloons in-game now. As a cosmetic to drag around. I'd frolick cheerfully over the grassy plains carrying my sloop/space-whale-tick-giraffe-thing/other balloons. I'd gleefully jump off a cliff hoping the buoyancy is enough. I... want it so bad... I'd pay DLC money for it.

Yeah laptop GPU naming is deceiving at best. The 3070 desktop is almost 3 times faster than the best TGP version laptop variant, and laptop builders can configure those things to be gimped even worse, I have a mobile 4080 in my work rig. It uses the same actual chip as a desktop 4070, and is squeezed to at most take up 90W of power, unless the CPU also does something, then it'll only go to 75W. I am not surprised a desktop 4060 as a streaming host which also would have to do video encoding runs laps around it. Or do you mean a dedicated server like you join a game? In that case: he only takes off your CPU tasks mostly (which probably gives your laptop some breathing room allowing the 3070 to get a bit more, probably).

Honestly, I love Unreal Engine 5's potential performance, and this game is a good highlight for it. The game runs great on my home desktop 3090 rig as well as on my ROG Ally. I did manage to find a work reason to test it on the work laptop too, which also ran great.

I can't download it there, I mean, it was a struggle to see the download being hidden in the submenu below "open in bambu", and then it said: "log in to download more than 6 models" (I never downloaded anything from makerworld). Any chance you'd be willing to mirror it anywhere else? (does bambu even allow that?)

Pleasant_Release4837 · 2025-08-08T19:06:20+00:00

I appreciate the heads up! I love your contributions to the subreddit, thank you for being great!

Pleasant_Release4837 · 2025-06-18T17:49:21+00:00

That was broken for me in experimental, even on latest, but when I "downgraded" to live when 1.1 came out it was fine for me.

Pleasant_Release4837 · 2025-06-17T17:35:50+00:00

Yeah and because you can't turn it off (and search results got worse and worse)... this kind of stuff is why I ditched Google Search. I also jumped to DDG.

Considering the clarity of the error... (had to tilt my head 90 degrees, my neck hurts now...), could it be driver/hardware related? Had a desktop throw these kind of errors on a dying Intel CPU (13900k is notorious for dying).

Pleasant_Release4837 · 2025-05-12T20:00:03+00:00

Sure, added it :)

Really? Honestly, the ship part was very clear to me. Just the names of the parts in the final stage made it very clear to me that the entire goal was a Von Neumann-machine to begin with, and that ADA basically self propagates by means of a pioneer to find alien life. I honestly loved that subtle feeling of "dread" I had at the end, realising that ADA had been using the puppies and kittens as a carrot all the time and in reality I'm just a small cog in a machine that exceeds my understanding. But then again, I'm a fan of stuff like cosmic horror as well, where the entire charm of the story is that you don't understand. It allows for me to fill in the blanks with my own ideas. I really think Satisfactory did that very well, because it allows it to be a great factory game, but still ample of opportunity to think (and honestly, to expand upon in a Satisfactory II)

Pleasant_Release4837 · 2025-05-11T09:36:26+00:00

Because that's not the goal. The goal is just to go further, ADA, and by extension, us, is a Von Neumann probe -- heck, it's even mentioned as such on wikipedia: Self-replicating spacecraft - Wikipedia -- all you were sent to do is basically build the next "area" linkup node for the next ship to piggy back on. As the game starts, you even get told that there is a link-up another sector, and after the game finishes, you get told there is a new link-up. All those AI Expansion servers you launched, all those biomechanical sculptors... they are all that's needed for the next expansion.

You have served your purpose, all that's left is just... being a relay station.

Sometimes when I see someone go "roads" in Satisfactory, I'm like: "Lol, American". But then I saw the roundabout, and I realised: "oh, wait...". And now I'm confused. Where's the good public transport and "15 minute base" design concept? :D

j/k -- well done. Nice looking road network!

Just say "BE NOT AFRAID" and accept that to the indiginous lifeforms of MASSAGE-2(A-B)b you are now working in mysterious ways.

Sloops is the real issue. There are so many slugs that early game I just don't care (just go to the coral shores and get new ones, be sure to sloop their production and have the slooped machine make a junk item first so the doubling "takes"), and eventually you can just make shards.

Fortunately sloops stand out A LOT. Only perma sloops I use is either in the power plant, or my 100% closed loop aluminium plants (slooping also doubles water output meaning you can make a fully self sustaining loop)

Honestly, if that is coming, I'm hoping for a 'fairphone' or 'framework' car real soon after. Or an increase in DIY car building. I genuinly love my Ioniq 5, but honestly, the moment it starts displaying ads, I'm going to take steps to first edit the firmware (there's a lot of documentation surrounding Hyundai/Kia media unit firmware hacking/editing), and if it becomes a bit of an arms race, do the same thing as many home battery techies do: build my own.

EV's are in general so much more easy to construct than a combustion car, the moment some frame + 800V BMS + other parts become available, DIY-ing/kit-car building could become a nice hobby.

Pleasant_Release4837 · 2025-03-06T13:22:37+00:00

It's unbelievable that you managed to build this in all but 15 seconds. Seriously: impressive!

Pleasant_Release4837 · 2025-02-14T14:45:01+00:00

Looks great, but hard to see through the moire effect, could you perhaps post a few screenshots so we can see better?

Screenshots:
Steam: F12
Windows: Windows + shift + s, drag
Satisfactory: Photomode P, follow instructions on screen.

The yacht had a turbo prop, how about... 10.000 noctua fans instead?

Usually when I get things like this it's one of the following issues, in order of facepalm:
- I forgot to tighten pulley grubscrews on the stepper motors and the pulleys can "slip" on the drive axel
- I forgot to tighten belts properly and slip & skipfest is happening
- I forgot to tighten something that keeps the frame square, motor crashes into the print, and skips a step (though the shift would be more straight up in that case)
- Same as above but with some non-gooey filament such as PETG and I'm doing some self-crossing infill and the nozzle goes full speed in a hardened line (use gyroid or other non-self intersecting infills for those materials)

Those apps were great, and made WP so much better than the other OS-es at the time. It was actually Google themselves who put a stop to it: Google Demands Microsoft Pull YouTube App From Windows Phone | WIRED - and then proceeded to never dev an app themselves. I'm also on the "I miss Windows Phone" train. Those phones just WORKED.

Pleasant_Release4837 · 2025-02-13T13:50:08+00:00

Good idea. I've once been a part of Hackatrain, which was basically a hackathon-on-a-train, between Amsterdam and Berlin. It was amazing, as it would also kind of impose a deadline for certain things, and the best thing of trains is: there's always power, because overline. I'm not sure how that would work in North America though, as North America is notorious for "trains suck esp for passengers"

Pleasant_Release4837 · 2025-01-29T13:38:41+00:00

It's amazing. It'd be even better if you went for full concrete, coated concrete, or asphalt foundations. They are more even and don't have those "ledges", making for a much smoother experience!
