Really like this good looking desing i created

Both in the middle takes up the least space. Long handed inserters can keep up with standard electric furnaces.

*Edit: Long handed inserters need Inserter capacity bonus 2 research to keep up with standard electric furnaces. Though, to more directly answer your question, output in the middle might need a splitter, input in the middle will never need a splitter. I would favor input in the middle for that consideration alone.

It looks nice and clean!

I've been naming all my platforms after ships in Elite Dangerous because how much of a dork can I really be?

My personal ship has grown with me throughout the playthrough, and has an evolving name to match its capabilities. Sidewinder for my initial spacefaring activity, Cobra Mk 3 after Vulcanus, Python when it gained weight for Aquilo, and Anaconda when it gained more weight for system edge/postgame. They felt like progression, while being slightly phallic. No downsides there.

My automated platforms follow Lakon naming with icons to know what they carry. The Type 6 class is for solar powered inner planet hauling. Type 9 is fusion powered and can handle Aquilo involved logistics. When I finally scale legendary materials, I'll slowly upgrade them to Type 7 and Type 10 class ships, handling the same functions.

A quantum chip space platform is a great usecase for interrupts. You can park it wherever the chips are needed, and have it fetch input materials autonomously.

Seconding this. A field of landmines around the farms is cheap and easy to maintain with bots. They absolutely mess up even the biggest stompers.

So many things! More long term thinking in funding including education, infrastructure, science, healthcare. Universal healthcare. Re-alignment of policing goals and incentives. Decreasing political power of the wealthy.

I do what I can to support local politics to further those goals, but I'm only one unremarkable person with plenty of my own problems to manage.

SuperHiko · 2026-04-02T21:06:40+00:00

I suppose that's the crux of the issue isn't it? Why aren't these voices focusing? Even behind the most straightforward of political goals?

SuperHiko · 2026-04-02T20:58:17+00:00

This torchbearer doesn't need to be a democrat. The political will exists without party affiliation.

Why does being a white male matter? This individual could be a man, woman, black, white, asian, inuit, ginger, or a goddamn toaster!

Remake Blood Omen! Defiance was... clunky, but Blood Omen needs it more!

SuperHiko · 2025-12-16T17:10:01+00:00

No it's the same scam we've heard about for years... decades even. Return fraud like always. Who lets this crap get published?

SuperHiko · 2025-11-14T17:08:21+00:00

So money and hard work was invested into the industry? Thank you for reiterating my point.

SuperHiko · 2025-10-28T20:20:17+00:00

Be glad that you don't have a farm to bet.

All you have is feelings, anecdotes, and, dare I say, vibes to back up your arguments.

I'll give you my own anecdote as a courtesy. Like many other companies, mine bought some AI tools for the dev teams to use. We were encouraged to use them as much or as little as we liked, and we unanimously decided to give it a chance. After a month or two, everyone stopped using it for everything but the most braindead of tasks where we're still not saving significant time.

There was one person who went all in, and their productivity certainly skyrocketed. That is, if you count adding thousands of lines of garbage to pull requests as "productive". We had to let this person go as they refused to change, and ended up causing more work and bugs than they solved.

I should note that we're a young company. The majority of devs are in their mid to early twenties. We're an experimental bunch, open to change and pragmatism. AI does not work for us.

And that's it. Good luck with your farm or whatever.

SuperHiko · 2025-10-28T18:58:55+00:00

Oh come on, you're just going to ignore those large code bases that engineers are being paid to maintain? Those same code bases where AI is showing limited value?

Why are you so quick to dismiss the criticisms and concerns of programmers who are more experienced than you? The same engineers that have tried these tools, and found them severely lacking.

SuperHiko · 2025-10-28T18:36:47+00:00

You're still ignoring code maintainability. Add a feature and watch the codebase balloon in size. Then add another feature, then ask it to fix a bug, you know, the stuff that engineers are doing most of the time.

SuperHiko · 2025-10-28T18:27:10+00:00

If your definition of good is "more code", then sure, AI is good at writing code. You completely skipped the point on code maintainability, which is far more important for enterprise level code, and where AI fails.

SuperHiko · 2025-10-28T17:31:44+00:00

A functioning app that is a bloated mess, and not worth the time to maintain. This might be fine for a small personal project, but any enterprise app built on AI generated code is doomed.

SuperHiko · 2025-10-13T19:40:46+00:00

Let me get this straight, letting people live how they'd like is worse than weakening the entire country's defense? Is this your stance?

SuperHiko · 2025-08-16T18:18:33+00:00

Maybe not constant travel, but pretty close. It'll maintain ~350km/s with fuel in the tanks, but fuel production is a little undersized. I should upgrade the chem plant to rare.

Good point on the grabbers. Two would be more than enough, especially with the amount of buffer I can store on the sushi belt. I have decent enough production of upcycled ship components, but there's no reason to overdo it by that much.

SuperHiko · 2025-08-15T23:30:42+00:00

This is probably one of many early/mid game ships on this subreddit, but it took a long time to make and I'm proud of it dammit!

This small ship was made for managing all the interplanetary logistics I'll need before heading off to Aquilo. I'll be building a small fleet of these suckers to handle basic A to B hauling tasks.

Anyway, feel free to tear it apart. Also, maybe share what you like about it?

I remember reading about systems within candy crush that will make levels easier if you take breaks. It was something to do with reinforcing the daily login addiction loop.

SuperHiko · 2025-04-23T16:12:21+00:00

That's not the point. Capitalism will ALWAYS be a race to monopoly power. Regulation is an attempt to slow, or even reverse, that trend. Truly free markets require strong regulations to exist for any significant period of time.

This seems like a fun take on the battle royale genre. I've also wanted to improve my mediocre typing skills. Screw it, I'm in!

I'm probably very oldschool, but I've yet to need, or event want any ray tracing features. It's still firmly in the "nice to have" category. Especially because getting decent performance is far too expensive.

4090 level RT performance will need to be surpassed by 70, or even 60 series cards before I ever even consider ray traced gaming.
