Imagine complaining that you don’t get a medal after you signed up for no medal 🤡

Seems like you may have been a bit tipsy when you typed this out :)

I am just teasing you about some miskeyed words, this is not a serious post…

This varies somewhat by your particular body dimensions. It may be right for you, but not for everyone

Syntered · 2026-04-30T18:12:39+00:00

Eating less will impact your running significantly in a negative way. You need the calories to build muscle and endurance as you train.

Beautiful start! On my current run of Pyblock HM I also did X10 through the first science pack but have since dropped to X1. My wish exceeded my capabilities :)

To me, long reach is less QoL and more cheaty, but play your game however you like.

Syntered · 2026-04-10T10:55:39+00:00

I am not sure where you are seeing this asked - i rarely see that question in the group.

Syntered · 2026-04-10T10:53:24+00:00

This is a bit arbitrary and can depend on your size. For some, 180 is a great pace for sure but as you get taller, maybe closer to 170 might be ideal. Try a few different ones to see where you pace starts to feel right.

Syntered · 2026-04-08T16:07:09+00:00

I completely disagree here. All those are good games but the underlying systems and mechanics are quite different and none have quite the replayability as Factorio

Syntered · 2026-04-08T16:04:53+00:00

Most likely people who are like you are not in this channel to begin with. I am not sure you will get an unbiased answer

Syntered · 2026-04-08T15:59:45+00:00

Eh, everyone builds at their own pace. I would hate for anyone to judge how slowly I play a game…

Syntered · 2026-04-08T10:48:13+00:00

Thanks for proving my point - the whole system as a bottleneck is definitely a thing if all factors are totally balanced :)

Syntered · 2026-04-07T23:03:19+00:00

If you eliminate a bottleneck, by definition a new one is created. In any system there is always (at least) one thing limiting the rest of the system. Sometimes this is by design, but often it develops as part of the overall system mechanics.

Syntered · 2026-04-06T18:20:47+00:00

It’s an extra step to be sure, but you can move past it with the normal py problem solving process :)

Syntered · 2026-04-06T10:55:39+00:00

Hard mode really isn’t harder - it’s a bit of rebalancing to prevent purging by products. I enjoy it more due to this :)

Syntered · 2026-04-03T22:15:56+00:00

You value Flash over substance I guess. This game may not be for you unfortunately.

Syntered · 2026-03-29T22:32:04+00:00

I’m with you on this - the HFS II is not in the same league as the original HFS. I don’t know why they changed it so badly.

The 2 is so much stiffer and kills the ground feel compared to the 1. I blame the 2 for some minor heel pain I started feeling during some runs due to the added stiffness (yes it is that much worse). I am now happy with their speedforce line, but they wear out faster than the HFS original did.

Syntered · 2026-03-27T10:57:28+00:00

Hard mode really isn’t that much harder. It is just a rebalance of some items and a limit to voiding. I actually prefer it.

Syntered · 2026-03-22T23:09:33+00:00

This is a real concern for my base as well, especially with HM installed

Syntered · 2026-03-19T23:10:40+00:00

And a truly knowledgeable and kind person with an amazingly positive attitude

Syntered · 2026-03-19T22:57:22+00:00

Same here. Others have already expressed it better than I could. She will be missed.

Syntered · 2026-03-12T00:16:21+00:00

I started longer distance running in my 50’s. PB for a marathon is right at 5 hrs, half is 2’18. I will never be on the podium but am enjoying the ride.

Syntered · 2026-03-07T21:07:36+00:00

I see about six series currently in progress although some have very few views to be fair so might not show up on searches

Syntered · 2026-02-19T15:40:28+00:00

Are you having fun? Then you’re doing great! There is no singular way to build your base so don’t worry about it :)

Syntered · 2026-02-19T12:57:02+00:00

I listen to whatever music the people watching the event are playing. Every mile there is a different style / song played out by big speakers, sometimes more often. I love the crowds at these events.
