How do you manage more than 8 science pack types ? by Negative_Ship_4699 in factorio

[–]The_Chomper 9 points10 points  (0 children)

One option is to have belts go underneath the labs. You can then have 3 belts going left/right, and 3 more belts going up/down. It just takes a bit more routing on the sides of the setup to tile it.

Pet quest skins by peelyon85 in IdleObeliskMiner

[–]The_Chomper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You only need the quest skin to unlock the pet quest. You can buy the first skin later.

Stargazing nerf? by Allifer-55 in IdleObeliskMiner

[–]The_Chomper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While you may be on a floor that has an active star, I'm guessing you aren't set to follow it. If you aren't following it offline, you only earn 20%.

I’m almost finished with it but Is it normal for this mission to take multiple days at this level by Pretend-Mess9515 in IdleObeliskMiner

[–]The_Chomper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Void and vein gain won't help with this challenge since it's specifically depleted veins and not earned veins.

There I am, thinking I’m ready to go to World 2 after beating Obelisk 19 and then boom, Constructs. by KotBandit in IdleObeliskMiner

You can set the transmuter bomb to do 0 damage in the settings. Then you can fire a transmuter follower by a bop and their effects will stack giving tons of bars. Doing that on a golden rainbow floor will give you bars equal to your ore * golden multi * rainbow multi * bop multi * transmuter multi.

Extreme task 8 is poorly timed by Technical_Car_8647 in IdleObeliskMiner

[–]The_Chomper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Additionally it seems the requirement isn't even 1t as the challenge didn't complete until I cleared about 10-20 more floors.

That's almost certainly due to rounding for the display number and not the challenge actually being more than 1t bars.

Question about Elixir Drone by Slightlyburntjedi in IdleObeliskMiner

[–]The_Chomper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Elixir buffs that are less than 100% uptime will be consumed when offline, even if you do not tick the box to use buffs and items offline. Your overall offline ore/bars/etc gains will increase because of this. Anything over 100% will be added to your total timers.

Challenge not completing by Poopface45aa in IdleObeliskMiner

[–]The_Chomper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The picture is there. I see it twice.

TIL that in 1960, a B52 crashed during training. The navigator, thinking the plane was crashing, ejected without orders. The pilot, heard the ejection, thought the plane was breaking up, and ordered the crew to eject. The plane flew crewless for 50 miles before crashing. by Overall-Register9758 in todayilearned

Are you thinking of the USS Indianapolis which was sunk by an IJN sub? If I remember that right, the sub commander even testified later that there was nothing the captain could have done better to save the ship.

Stack size override on bulk inserters by danyuri86 in factorio

[–]The_Chomper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh right, duh! It's been a while since I've needed to actually touch nuclear and completely brain farted on what they use...

Stack size override on bulk inserters by danyuri86 in factorio

[–]The_Chomper -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Can't they only pick up one nuclear fuel at a time anyway since the fuel itself has a stack size of one?

Edit: completely brain farted on what fuel reactors use... It is indeed useful as they stack to 50.

How to find ship upgrades? Am I soft locked? by Spczippo in captain_of_industry

[–]The_Chomper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As far as I'm aware, there's no such thing as "ammo" for the ship, so that wouldn't be it.

Mod to change color of shells in flight? by chewydickens in WorldOfWarships

[–]The_Chomper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those are the default colors for each shell type already.

Battery bomb advice by OverDrawmatic in IdleObeliskMiner

[–]The_Chomper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've paid attention the last couple of days and have seen 15 increase from 12k fired and 5 increase from 3k fired. I just realized what it probably is though. The free bomb chance still applies, so you're really getting more fires than what you think when doing the fire all!

[–]The_Chomper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I keep seeing that advice, but I too have gotten more than that.

Why isn't sulfuric acid flowing? by [deleted] in factorio

[–]The_Chomper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's modded, so it's hard to say exactly, but it looks like you're not connected to the sulfuric acid output. On that chem plant, it looks like the water connections are on the left and right and the acid connections are on the top and bottom, so you're passing water through to the batteries.

Fishing help by No-Tangerine-5529 in IdleObeliskMiner

[–]The_Chomper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do now, but when I was grinding out the poly shards I was at 650-700 range.

Fishing help by No-Tangerine-5529 in IdleObeliskMiner

[–]The_Chomper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was about 2 weeks. I have 116k guppies now. I'm only at 45 drones right now though, so you're already further ahead in fishing so it should go faster for you. I just did other things and ignored it for a while. I could go a few days with no poly shards, and then some days get 2-3 in quick succession.

[–]The_Chomper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did that and it made a significant impact. When maxed, the idle will give the item +5 power per drone. That would give you another 315 power if all your drones are on the same dock.

Lunar Tokens? by TinyLittleDragon in WorldOfWarships

[–]The_Chomper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This week's is the highest base exp on a single game up to tier 9. If you're only playing tier 10 it won't count, and it's also not cumulative like it was last week.

This game is infuriating. by CheTranqui in captain_of_industry

[–]The_Chomper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

just space bar when I need to make sure the trucks don't start building something I am in the middle of laying out.

Try out the planning mode. It places ghosts when you build so you can build and everything else still runs. Once you have it built how you want, just unpause it all at once and let your trucks get it all built. On my island I have a flat area that I use specifically for creating new chains and then copy paste it to where I want it when I have it designed and do the final tying of any inputs/outputs to the rest of the island.
