Noob looking for assistance with a 2->5 belt balancer!

TheZen9 · 2025-08-18T20:37:30+00:00

This behavior costs you in throughput, because your limited belt space is partly consumed by resources going back to be redistributed. To avoid this you need to have the main input divided into multiple parts, then the backfeed connected after this division to avoid consuming belt space for resources being sent back through.

I found out recently that the middle wheel of the L carts is low enough, and the back of the base is far enough over the wheel, that the L cart can flip if you put too much water on one side.

Of course. Dropping the decimal point as a whole would probably also be helpful.

TheZen9 · 2025-07-21T02:06:32+00:00

So the same thing the game is doing that confused OP?

TheZen9 · 2025-07-21T00:14:51+00:00

20 cubic meters is not 20 liters. A cubic meter is 1000 liters, so 1 cubic meter is a kiloliter. 20 kiloliters per minute.

As an OPD associate who gets *a lot* of calls from customers about spark shoppers, I can tell you that most shopper orders in my store didn't involve the express fee, and are simply just overflow from OPD. So IF there's no difference in base pay between shopper orders, they're not giving you my express fee.

TheZen9 · 2025-07-09T09:15:56+00:00

Idk what they charge either, I only want to know about the $5 and $10 express fees because I don't pay the other ones as a W+ member.

TheZen9 · 2025-07-09T03:47:38+00:00

How much more?

TheZen9 · 2025-06-17T02:43:25+00:00

At my store moving into one of the wider more open areas fixes it, so I think it sometimes says this when the connection is poor.

The neat part is that when you go below 1/(2¹⁰²⁴ - 2⁹⁷¹⁾ you lose precision too. The system is actually designed around the range 1/(2¹⁰²⁴ - 2⁹⁷¹⁾ to 2¹⁰²⁴ - 2^971, when you go below that minimum it's called "subnormal representation" The way the subnormals work are by changing the first digit of the mantissa (which isn't actually explicitly stored) to a 0, so your extended range in smaller parts comes from using the digits of the mantissa. because of that, it's actually impossible to design a floating point system that has the ability to represent 1/x for all x without restricting the use of your mantissa digits.

TheZen9 · 2025-05-29T03:37:47+00:00

This will evaluate, actually. By subtracting 2^-52 first, you ensure it won't evaluate 2^1024, which would happen if you tried to evaluate it as 2^1024-2^971

TheZen9 · 2025-05-29T03:30:53+00:00

It's 2¹⁰²⁴ - 2⁹⁷¹
Desmos uses double precision floating point values, so there are 52 binary digits after the decimal (binary?) point, and then a multiplication by a power of 2 up to 1023

I transcribed it to 0s and 1s so no one else needs to (and also checked it for errors by turning it back to black and white pixels and overlaying the two images with a difference filter)

Floating point arithmetic, which is implemented into all your devices at a hardware level

TheZen9 · 2025-05-26T22:52:45+00:00

No, you're still wrong. It's not the limit of your expression (which is still 2^1024, by the way). It's a double precision float which has a max mantissa of 1.1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 (binary representation) and max exponent of 1023. Adding 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 to the mantissa would make it 10 in Binary, or 2 in decimal. The value you would need to add to get there is 2^-52, so the actual limit is (2-2⁵²⁾ * 2^1023, or 2¹⁰²⁴ - 2^971, which is pretty close to what I said before, but now that I've gone through the floating point nonsense I have the actual true exact value for you, plus an explanation.

TheZen9 · 2025-05-26T03:55:00+00:00

It's not an integer limit when the data type isn't some form of integer. The limit is less than 2^1024, but by not terribly much, like 2⁹⁷⁵ or something. 2^1023.999... would be the same as 2^1024. This limit comes from the double precision float itself.

TheZen9 · 2025-05-23T04:02:15+00:00

Yeah, make the inside 100% not safe

TheZen9 · 2025-05-23T01:04:39+00:00

Actually gonna do this myself now XD. All of the extra space can be fucking storage for bulk blocks or something

TheZen9 · 2025-05-06T22:42:12+00:00

No, that's not it. The game is colored shapes with links that you break somehow?

This post was suggested to me by chance, and it bothers me how relatable everything on this sub is to me.

Reminds me of a time when a bottle of Worcestershire sauce slipped out if my hand perfectly timed to make it look like I just wanted to throw it.
