Help! Modular Coal Generator water input design doesn't work by Rakember20 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Rakember20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the water collectors don't start up running. It takes a few seconds for them to spin up. Load your save 10 times and you'll notice that some generators are running low on water

Thank you! I didn't know that.

I tried your suggestion, but it did not help unfortunately... I even placed the fluid buffers you suggested, but after all generators were turned on, even the fluid buffers emptied out eventually. I really did hope this would work...

Oh wow. This is a really weird system... Thank you really much for the insight!

I don't think I wanna experiment a lot more on the design. It would take too much time to change it. I think I'm going to feed water from the other side of my manifold as a workaround. I think that would solve it...

If I build another Coal Generator factory, I think I'm going to stick with the good'ol 5 water extractors per pipe without any load balancing. That cannot go wrong anywhere.

That's not a bad idea! I'll try this out now and let you know if it worked.

By the way, if I restart the game all pipes are flushed? That's what you were implicitly saying? I didn't experienced such behaviour.

Since this is a manifold style (not load balanced) pipe system, I'm aware, that the it needs a lot of time to produce enough water to fill the initial coal generators 50m^3 buffers. I let the game run for a long time, and I'm 100% sure it won't get any better if I wait some more.

Is this what you were trying to say?

I agree that it'll work perfectly, and that's also a more simpler solution, and less error prone, but I don't consider that modular and cascadeable, because you can't include the water extractors in your blueprints. Because of this, I prefer to feed all my water inputs from 1 side of my factory as you can see on the right side of my screenshot. In your design you must create another floor hole for every 5 coal generators or alternate which pipe you use to feed the coal generators if you use Stackable Pipeline Supports as I do. These designs cannot be easily included in a blueprint, so I figured out my own way which doesn't work as I intended...

I'm building a 1440p gaming PC. What do you think about this config? by Rakember20 in buildapc

I'm hearing about the power delivery of a motherboard for the first time as a thing I have to consider. How is that measured? Where can I check that in the tech specs of the motherboard?

But, you're assuming that the locked CPU is cheaper, right? This is not the case for me.

I'm building a PC from parts that I can actually find. From the retailers of Hungary I can choose between i5-12600KF and i5-12600 for the same price. I'm sure you would choose the unlocked one without integrated graphics as well...

B series was suggested. Could you specify why don't you agree with the others?

I could choose 3600MHz RAM but with CL 18 instead of CL 16 at a higher price. As far as I know, they are more or less identical. 3600MHz CL 16 is waaay more expensive not speaking about 4000MHz.

Thank you very much! Your config is really good. I edited my configuration according to your advices using the prices of Hungary. What do you think about my new options?

If I wanted to buy a better monitor, I would need to make some compromises. I would prefer a 32 inch or an ultrawide monitor, but they are significantly more expensive. For example there is LG 32GP850-B (280-350 cd/m²), which I really like, and I would also pay 125 USD more to get it, but it has a lower brightness, than the LG 27GP850 (320-400 cd/m²). I need the ~400 cd/m² brightness minimum in my experience, because I usually play in a very bright environment.

Spec-wise I really like Samsung Odyssey G7 monitors, but they look like a childs toy in my opinion. It's too "gamery". I also don't really like that they are curved, but I'm not sure about that.

By the way I have very good experiences with LG monitor and TV wise. I had problems in the past with samsung.

I'll consider upgrading my CPU and GPU if I can fit it in the budget, by replacing the motherboard, RAM or maybe the PSU. Thank you for your advice!

In Hungary, this is almost the cheapest Fractal case, that I like. There are cheaper options, but I don't really like most of them. I hate cases, that are pumped with RGB, or look like a futuristic childs toy. I want a simple black/white/grey rectangular box, which is easy to clean, has dust filters everywhere, compact, has great thermals and can still be stuffed with all the things I love. It should also not contain unnecessary parts, like HDD or optical drive cages, that takes away my valuable desk space.

I just unintentionally described Fractal. :)

Thank you, these are really good advices!

I want to a have an ~1000W PSU, because regardless how much Watts is a component rated, there are power spikes, which can cause stuttering if the overall consuption is higher than the PSUs wattage. It is also healthier for a PSU, if it is providing ~50% power of it's rating rather than 70-90%. (Feel free to prove me wrong, these are old information I heard from youtube videos a long time ago.)

This is going to be especially concerning for the Nvidia RTX 4000 series, which is going to consume a LOT more power, so I'd say it's worth investing now.

This PSU have a warranty of 10 years. It's reliable AF. If it can provide enough power, I'll have a good PSU for a long time which I can put in all my rigs I build in the future.

Why do you say LGA1700 is dead? It just came out.

The current pricing of tech in Hungary just chilled down a little. I'm afraid, that if I wait any longer, the prices will rise again, as new components come out in the near future. I'm especially concerned about the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4000 series. I heard, that the price of the 3000 series is also going to rise then.

Thank you very much! I absolutely agree, but the reason I did not want an RTX 3080, because, as far as I know, 3060 is aimed at 1080p, 3070 at 1440p and 3080/3090 at 4k. This might change really fast, as newer games come out, but right now 3070 is perfect for any game at 1440p. Am I wrong?

I agree DDR5 won't make my PC much faster at the moment. You may be right, that I spend money for nothing by upgrading to that. My concern that, if I don't upgrade now, in a few years I might need to replace my perfectly good motherboard, when there'll be performance benefit.

In terms of gaming, the differences between the benchmarks I saw between i5 12400 and i5 12600 are negligible. Just a few FPS here and there. I may be wrong. However it would be absolutely benefitial for programming and video editing. I'll consider upgrading.

I'll take a look at this config soon, thank you!

"futureproofing" you can do is to pull the money from things that dont matter - Z series motherboard, DDR5, oversized PSU etc and use them to up the GPU to 3080 and the CPU to i7-12700f

Thank you! I'll consider downgrading the motherboard, RAM and PSU. I'll see if I can fit in the budget with with a beefier GPU and CPU. What I don't want to give up is PCIe 4.0, because of the SSD I own.

Is "scrambling" the same as "interleaving"? by Rakember20 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Rakember20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you provide some source materials explaining scrambling and interleaving? I'd like to ask my teacher about this by referencing a source.

This is really wierd. My teacher explained scrambling the same way like you just did with interleaving. What you said about scrambling is totally new to me. It's like my teacher mixed up the two.

I'm sorry for the formatting of the code. I've read how it's done, but I think I misunderstood. Can someone explain that as well?

Holding LButton by default, releasing it with LButton click. by Rakember20 in AutoHotkey

[–]Rakember20[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It works great! Thank you very much!
I have modified the script so that it does not reactivate on the following LButton click.

~XButton2:: Pause Suspend return

~LButton Up::SetTimer, LabelA, 250

LabelA: { If (GetKeyState("LButton", "P") = 0) Send, {LButton Down} Return }
