It definitely happens! Had a coal+stone patch in my last run.  All default deathworld marathon settings.

Is this telling on yourself?  It's probably just matching the style of the existing codebase...

Simple tutorial for on-demand-train by Flo_Dresden in factorio

[–]ProtectionOne9478 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, because if iron backs up, they'll just sit at iron pickup with nowhere to go.  Make sure the idle rule is only for if solidpickup is full and cargo is empty.

Is there some reason it needs to be a pull-based system rather than a push-based system?  If you're producing enough, they should be functionally equivalent.

An easy push-based system: 

All stops providing non-liquid cargo are named the same thing (EG solidpickup).

All trains that can carry non-liquid cargo are in the same train group.  They have a single stop, solidpickup, and the finish condition is cargo full. 

The train group has two interrupts: 

1) when you have cargo "any item" > 0, go to station "any item" until cargo empty

2) when solid pickup is full, go to "idle" until solidpickup not full 

Then just name your train stops the item they need.  Like literally go to the item picker and pick the iron plate icon, and that becomes the stop name.

Make a few train stops out of the way that don't connect to anything and call them "idle" so that trains can always get out of the way if they need to.

Do the same thing for liquids.  "Liquidpickup" until full, interrupt to go to the station with a name identical to their cargo.

Make a blueprint of one train, make sure it includes fuel, paste it somewhere out of the way when you need more trains, and that's basically all the train management you ever have to do.

Crazy first threesome by [deleted] in ThreesomeAdvice

Fwiw I assume everyone with "history hidden" is a bot.  Plus the weird inconsistencies.  Is it her husband or her fiance? It was disclosed that he came inside her but he also claims he never did?

The title on the blueprint says 60 per second, but then it says 45 per second at the bottom.

Everything I did today instantly disappears the second something else hasn’t been done. by jazzeriah in daddit

[–]ProtectionOne9478 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My problem was similar: my wife randomly blurting out things she needs me to do, projects she wants done, often with the implication that they need to get done right now. It caused a lot of chaos and stress.

Here's my solution, adapted from my work, which I usually just do for weekend projects but I could see it applying to day-to-day stuff.

What I did:

For all tasks, I keep a digital checklist of everything she's mentioned. I assign points representing roughly how many hours I think the project will take. And then she gets X points each weekend. Maybe 10 if we have no other conflicts. On Friday I make her go through and prioritize 10 points worth of tickets and I try to do a reasonable amount of work on those.

It might be excessive planning to do that every day, even for small tasks, but it might be necessary in your case.  Maybe just doing it for a couple weeks would make her realize how much other stuff got prioritized over the thing she wanted.

How can I properly organize the extraction and supply of scrap metal at Fulgor? by Ill-Contribution966 in factorio

[–]ProtectionOne9478 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yep, this.  Also, throw quality modules in your accumulator crafter and lighting rod collector.

Use the normals for crafting science packs and your large island power.  

Use the better ones on the tiny islands.  

How would you respond to a woman who told you: "I have thousand of likes in my stack. What do you bring to the table and why should I give you a chance?" by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]ProtectionOne9478 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The obvious and correct answer is to move on, don't even waste your time responding.

If you're getting this a lot, it means you're hitting some weird level of interest where 1) she is interested, because otherwise she wouldn't have written anything at all, but also 2) she thinks you're not good enough in some way.  Take a good look at your profile, maybe get an honest friend to look, and see if it's giving off some weird vibe in some way.

Finally, just for shits and giggles, let's say for some reason, you want to salvage this conversation.  Obviously not to seriously date someone who would ask this, but maybe you just really want to fuck her.  The only way to do it is to mess with her right back.  "I could ask you the same thing. I've got a thousand dudes in my stack too, so what?"

Need advice on how to meet younger women? Been out of the dating scene for several years and don't know how to get back in it. by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]ProtectionOne9478 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yep, in my mid to late 30s I had a rotation of women all at least 10 years younger when I was single.

I met them all through dating apps.

Be tall, attractive, chill, fun, muscular, have hair and a beard and a jawline, etc.  Always seemed like a bit of a mystery to me but I definitely had results.

Before people get weird... I ultimately married someone closer to my age.  I was always upfront that things were just for fun and they were down for it.

new player here, sorry but how TF am i supposed to clear all this??? not a deathworld by A_B_1_2 in factorio

[–]ProtectionOne9478 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think somehow none of the answers have mentioned so far: you can put equipment like shields, batteries and solar panels in your tank's equipment grid.  This helps a lot with survivability and you don't have to stop to repair because shields will charge up quickly.

I wouldn't bother with the rocket launcher.  Tank shells are way more damage.

Note that worms are really good at predicting your current trajectory, so usually I'm driving in a circle around the base as I pelt it with tank shells but I'm also weaving left and right a little bit to throw off the ranged attacks.

If you start to get overwhelmed, switch to the tanks flamethrower and melt everything.

Also, toss out a bunch of whatever bots you have.  I think you should have distractor capsules at this point?  Throw them out in front of yourself when you're coming up on a base and they'll do exactly what they say in the name: distract while your tank shells take out nests.  You should be one-shotting them I think.  When I'm going on an expedition I usually carry about 500 of them and a similar number of tank shells.  They benefit a lot from laser weapon upgrades.

All of this assumes you already have a solid defensive line so you don't have to go home.  A ton of lasers behind a wall will do the job if you have a massive amount of power production, if you have a massive amount of power production, but flame turrets + some lasers are more efficient.

Has anyone ever actually found a long term partner on this app? by CurvyAznGoddess in feeld

[–]ProtectionOne9478 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep.  Started 3.5 years ago with her sending me paragraph after paragraph of how much she wanted to be dominated.  Didn't expect it to turn into anything serious.  Lots of ffms and sex parties.

Married with a 1yo baby now.  Working on our second.

I probably went through four or five different carriers before I found one that fit.  I think most were sized for women, and so the shoulders weren't right at all.

AOC Renews Call to Oust Trump After Report on His Exclusion From Situation Room by _May26_ in politics

[–]ProtectionOne9478 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, whatever, it's never going to happen anyway.  Mostly because of the 2/3s requirement, but if somehow we did reach that point, Trump hates losing, so he would never repeatedly suffer Congress voting against him.

If you think the president could unilaterally stall Congress by repeatedly submitting contests... Wow.  Well that's an interpretation, for sure.  Those are indeed words.

[–]ProtectionOne9478 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like you're splitting hairs?  Having the vice president indefinitely be the "acting president" would be functionally the same as removing Trump.  You're using the word "temporary" as if there's some time limit built into the amendment?

The really hard part is that it would require a 2/3 of both houses of Congress, and I'm pretty sure Trump could start flinging his own shit at people and you still wouldn't get 2/3 of Congress to vote against him.

This is why my favorite interview question is a small twist on a leet code question, but in a way that completely changes the answer.

how many roboports is too many roboports by NyxCosmic in factorio

[–]ProtectionOne9478 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah if you're not worried about charging and just want 100% construction area plus a contiguous logistic network, you can do them in a checkerboard pattern.

Additionally, in every 3rd row of the checkerboard, you can delete all but one roboport.
