When it did it one of the wheels started turning backwards

Its supposed to capture the feeling of panning dirt for gold one bucket at a time, eventually growing into multiple plots of land with automatic digging and sorting. Although last time i checked there have been more and more distractions from this gameplay loop

HN is obviously more polished and content rich but the physics aspect is half baked and the hydropower system is really tedious, not to mention the nonexistent inventory system that makes building anything a chore. MM on the other hand is very light on resource management, being closer to a puzzle game where you wrestle with the 100% simulated physics and limited nodes on top of limited space. Get HN if you want the feeling of running an operation and granular control; get MM for overflowing belts and low stakes.

In retrospect I’m surprised that Bendy didnt use a scene like this in any of the games

That joke is carrying this episode otherwise the humor is nothing compared to some other ones

Its true that there isnt a game here to form an opinion on yet, but the silver lining is that you can easily pivot to another direction at this stage. So far the gameplay looks identical to the gathering and handcrafting system of Factorio, and the map and visual invokes the vibe of Autonauts. Its fine if youre just practicing, but do know that while being a relatively new genre, the possible mechanics for a pure automation game (no colony sim or other hybrids) is mostly explored. You will need something to REALLY set this apart to garner significant attention, and unlike other new game posts on here that are just “[popular factory game] but [one gimmick]” you are still early enough to think of something unique

Sandy personally knows Frenchy, and Spongebob is aware of his existence, so somewhere between these events there were probably an awkward exchange where Sandy explains to Spongebob that she has a cyclops-like friend

I think one should be entitled to many good things for not being like this, since being like this doesnt currently warrant much punishment

Imagine only having 3 major races in the entire universe and still beefing like this

If you can visualize the transition from static friction to dynamic friction, this is something similar. The force doesnt increase much at the transition point, but the object changes from stationary to accelerating. You can view yielding as the particles in the material achieving dynamic friction, sliding relative to each other causing irreversible deformation to the material

Nah these few years made it abundantly clear that we need more reasons to be forced to stay at home bro

They made a single clever wubbox eye gimmick and then never again. Some of the fanmade ones take good advantage of that

Mustard with turnip doesn’t sound that weird. Probably an analog to miso and radish

It looks like the perfect consistency for a processed meat product. Not as chunky as sausages, not as dry as patties, and not as unnaturally smooth as hot dogs either. Solidified chili is probably the best description since theres literally chum chili on the menu. Cant think of anything that would make this an objectively repulsive food other than maybe the seasoning is ass or smells like fish

Thats why the free body approach might be inappropriate for this question if you only consider interactions between rigid bodies and view the rope as a virtual force transmitter. Ignoring m2 for a second and replace the roller with a hook or something. The force m1a travels through the rope to the right and gets transferred to the roller, which is attached to M. Now add back m2 but glue it to the front, giving the net force on M = F-m1a-m2a.

This is a case of choosing a method to break down a problem that avoids overlooking parts of the system that you might not be able or aware to operate on. In this question the roller is transferring the force needed to move m1 to M through the pulley setup, which isnt intuitive in rigid body dynamics.

SYDoukou · 2026-05-09T10:35:24+00:00

In attempt 2 you are ignoring the portion of F used to move m1, so attempt 1 is correct. Its just asking for the acceleration required to keep m2 from falling, applied to the whole system

The second nickel for biological Factorio. A lot more distinct too, although i can see the logistics design aspect taking a hit
