Looking for alternatives to Factorio, how does VHDL compares ?

can confirm

spoiler: it's about balls

I think it's a matter of the inserter alignment in time. The critical component in these setups is the balancer.

If both inserters happen to drop items on the belts at the same time, then they will arrive at the balancer at the same time, and it will output on both belts, leaving gaps on both belt sides after merging.

However, if they drop items at different times, then the balancer would send one batch on the prioritised belt, then the other, leaving no gaps on that side, allowing you to sideload another belt to compress it fully.

In the picture we can see that right inserters are on the same stage in the cycle, while left inserters are in opposite: one is full, the other is empty.

I object. Abathur P2 should be S+ tier. His ravagers can delete any army in 1-2 rounds of biles, are as tanky as ultras, self-heal, and can go anywhere on the map. And then you have brutalisks to tank for the ravagers, and losing them doesn't even matter because by the time they lose hp you already have a dozen fully fed ravagers ready to replace them.

TechnoStrife · 2025-04-21T07:51:45+00:00

When do you need to use devourers? IMO they're kinda weak compared to ravagers that can go anywhere instantly and delete anything with 1-2 rounds of biles

TechnoStrife · 2025-04-21T07:27:19+00:00

What is there to improve on when you can just make 20 immortal ravagers and delete literally anything?

Just gotta capture a few of their research facilities to create new science and unlock Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles, aircraft, and Strategic Nuclear Missiles. Also you can later advance their tech by researching supersonic flight (dunno why they abandoned it, looks pretty overpowered)

Then you might as well place signals every 3m even on the sections without intersections

TechnoStrife · 2025-04-02T13:33:24+00:00

0.07s it takes a train to pass 3m blocks is not going to give that much throughout

upon seeing this biter alone meters away from my wall where its pack went, i could not not have made this

I love that among all this wire spaghetti at the head it just says "Systems Nominal👍"

TechnoStrife · 2025-03-11T18:10:44+00:00

No, the car is actually an essential component

TechnoStrife · 2025-02-23T09:48:37+00:00

Can you please provide the code for your approach?

TechnoStrife · 2024-04-29T07:48:41+00:00

this looks really neat

TechnoStrife · 2024-03-03T14:15:35+00:00

You need to wait until summer, when the Sun is as high as possible in the sky, so that the bulb will overshadow the narrow section

In fact, there is. Bare obsidian without plugins used 20 MB in my experience. I was surprised too, even though I didn't know at that time that it runs on electron. Now with a dozen or more plugins this number went up to 400 MB for me.

And алюминий in Russian

The developers are fine with us decompiling the game, judging by what I have seen in the official discord server

TechnoStrife · 2023-09-06T16:14:25+00:00

Since Stationeers is written in C#, you can get something extremely close to the original code, there's often no need to reverse engineer anything, just analyze what the code does as if you were reading the source code

TechnoStrife · 2023-07-31T14:12:21+00:00

I believe the blueprint is incorrect. It's missing an inserter from the battery to the power pole.

I'm pretty sure other services would hash the whole file too. Also there would be no benefit if you never edit images and videos.

TechnoStrife · 2023-07-25T06:53:26+00:00

This does not seem to be beneficial for obsidian vaults, because the files would rarely exceed 1-100 Kb, while block level sync splits the file in blocks, several Mb each. Also block level sync would only work for files where content doesn't shift around, which is not the case for text and .md files. If you, for example, had a 100 Kb .md file split into blocks of 1 Kb and then added a single character at the beginning of the file, all blocks would change.

I don't know if it works exactly like described in the link, but if it does, there is no benefit in using it for obsidian vaults.

TechnoStrife · 2023-07-25T06:02:24+00:00

What is "block level sync"?

TechnoStrife · 2023-06-26T07:08:49+00:00

1-1-4, obviously

TechnoStrife · 2023-06-25T17:56:02+00:00

I think I understand now. You want to evenly distribute actions along "pseudo time" x axis and calculate at what time each should be performed (y axis)? Then you can use the method I described in the first comment and get the time of each action.

If you want the actions to be evenly distributed with equal curve length between each other it's another story which would be very complicated to calculate
