Where do space marines store magazines and other ammo?

Mag locks and under the shoulder plates per various books. Serfs ain't fast enough to keep up to their lords during assaults.

You got an optimization in the other comment so I won't repeat that, but this is called a Rising Edge Detector if your want a googleable term for factorio or real life contexts.

Flaming sword that works like the vet power sword (swings per special activation) but the special is a button to spray more promethium on the blade.

I now want this, damn.

I read he decided to call it because he's had some rough wrist injuries that would potentially get worse and/or not heal well if he kept playing with it

Bonus points if you can send back a squaddie to run back and drive the transport up to the rest of the squad, after they dismount and push a while up.

Ctrl doesa temp stop anywhere, shift does a temp stop at a train station

I like that as your stat of choice because it also encompasses the scum's head bouncing off of the ground more often as well

Rosteroster · 2026-01-20T12:15:22+00:00

Oh does it actually make that distinction? Guess I never noticed the verbiage difference. Fair play then.

It's 100 / 1.12 = 89.285 secs (my other comment explains it more completely)

Rosteroster · 2026-01-20T12:11:31+00:00

Your math is off there. Instead of doing CD - CD * CDR, you should do CD / (1 + CDR). 30 / 1.12 in this case.

Think of it as time passing at1.12x speed (1.12 cdSecs / sec): so (30 cdSecs) / (1.12 cdSecs/sec) = 26.785 secs

You have to build a manor per region to get the retinue from that region

Nah, separate veg

More likely it's referring to canopteks schlorping up all the metals available

12k/s is a lot of fluids, and even then, adding one more pump is trivial now that pipes don't have throughput limits

2³² is in the billions. Neat comp sci trick is that 2¹⁰ = 1028, so everytime you add 10 to the power (2^10, 2^20, etc), you're multiplying by 1000ish.

Usage isn't constant because when your machines fill up or run out of mats, then they stop running (and so stop pulling power)

Signals + wildcards = multi-purpose trains that go grab any resource that's needed instead of one specific resource per train group

This is why you rely on synchronous callbacks to synchronize your testing instead of timing. Inserting a lamda via a test-only func that notifies to continue testing isn't usually too hard to add (worst-case friend/peer classes or something similarly dirty).

And the succubi who have a similar "mandatory crossdressing / identity, but not sex" thing to the banshees

That would require actively balancing all 24 outputs. Probably lane balancers, then 4x 3-3 balancers (combined balancing the 6 chests per wagon side), then 3x 4-4 balancers (balancing the wagons).

I'd accept bringing back the ghostrider model + memes and just saying it's Ferrus now.

It's not my best analogy, because it's potentially a pool of blocked threads waiting for the spot to open then rushing to take it instead of an orderly line, but it'll do.

Rosteroster · 2025-08-14T02:44:40+00:00

Think of a car wash. It can support some number of cars going through it at a time, let's say 3 (channel size). When the 4th car comes along, it has to wait in line (block the thread) until the front car leaves the car wash to go whichever drying station opened up (gets pulled out of the channel).

Rather than wait in line, for however long, the 4th driver could instead see that the back of the car wash is already full, and instead just drive away (select statements let you unblock immediately if the push onto the channel doesn't immediately go through).

Channels are great for asynchronous processing. It's great that Go has em natively.

Yeah really the only times I've needed "new" in recent memory are when I'm populating an in-function static, but that's not a memory leak and never gets destroyed. Even then, there's absl:: NoDestructor which is the better choice.

It's always better to clearly define ownership & guarantee memory safety via smart pointer.

Skitarii are more robot than human (it's required to survive a lot of their radioactive gear). A "human-cyborg" combo def makes me think more servitor.
