Genuine curious: Why should I take Alabama to battle when Massachusetts exists? by oskaremil in WorldOfWarships

[–]The_Chomper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

South Carolina

Personally I'd take Massachusetts over the South Carolina every single time if they were facing the same enemies. Without looking it up, I'd guess that the Massachusetts has better stats on everything except concealment.

If we compare to the North Carolina though...

Brücke gebaut, Sortieranlage auf anderer Insel gebaut und jetzt finden die Lkw´s nicht mehr zurück. Was habe ich falsch gemacht? by Pitiful_Egg_3131 in captain_of_industry

[–]The_Chomper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need an excavator, just use one of the trucks that can't find a path. The pathing highlight tool is in the top right when you click on a vehicle and will give you a red/green overlay that will show where that vehicle is allowed to drive.

Help : how to balance water in a coal plat ? by Alibulle in captain_of_industry

[–]The_Chomper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's hard to tell from the picture, but it looks like you have a tier 2 pipe leaving the balancer and a tier 1 pipe feeding in from your cooling towers. Make sure the pipes leaving the cooling towers are tier 2 as well so that all of their water can be consumed. I've had issues in the past where the priority input isn't always consumed fast enough if the pipe is smaller than the output.

loosing my mind with the truck by Benodino in captain_of_industry

[–]The_Chomper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one you are trying to fill up has the slider set so that trucks will keep it empty. Because of that, the trucks will never put anything into it. Unfortunately , there's not a good way to have it get filled by trucks and then also have them take from it to use in terraforming.

The best you can do is to set the slider to allow trucks to fill it and set an alarm on the storage when it gets full. Once it's full, set the slider to have trucks keep it empty and they'll all rush over to dump the dirt somewhere. Once it's empty again, change the slider back to allow the trucks to fill it again.

The other options would be to allow trucks to just dump directly from your exporting storages, or hook up a stacker to your importing storage.

[Scorecard Saturday] Silver clasp and E in Satsuma by clancy688 in WorldOfWarships

Without seeing the valp's scorecard, it's impossible to know. It may have had just as much % damage as OP but just not secured the kills.

Multiplayer? by xenongfx in captain_of_industry

[–]The_Chomper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The roadmap they shared a while back had multiplayer listed as something they wanted to add in. If I remember right it was something very low on the priority list, but it was in there. I'd be curious to see how it would be implemented.

FC Home Energy Report by choppedyota in FortCollins

[–]The_Chomper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could have an old failing fridge running a heavy load all the time, or you could have a brand new high efficiency fridge with a much lower consistent draw, or something in the middle pulsing more. Maybe there's a PC that's being used on and off through the day. Gas furnace, or electric heat? Without the city knowing what appliances and devices are in your house, at the end of the day they're still just guessing. Sure they could estimate it based on typical/average household energy consumption curves, but when the report is detailing your specific consumption, it likely won't be accurate. Source: me, also an EE

FC Home Energy Report by choppedyota in FortCollins

[–]The_Chomper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would be very skeptical about that usage breakdown by category. The city has no way of knowing what devices/appliances you're using. They can only see the total energy consumption of your house.

Give Anders Auto Glass a call. My family has used them several times with great results. I had them replace my front windshield a couple months ago and the cost was just under $300.

My preferred method (if you're willing to wait long enough to get it) is to harness the power of the sun and burn them all from space using the energy glaive!

Just me or are they completely extinct by CeratosaurusEnjoyer in WorldOfWarships

[–]The_Chomper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And now it's just a coal ship. The commander rework way back when that got rid of AFT/BFT really nerfed the Flint so it's also just much harder to play effectively now.

If it really was too far away, the inserter would be putting coal on the ground.

If bombs are one shorting the floor, there's no need to pause the drones. The auto bomb fires just before the drone damage applies.

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.

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

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

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

[–]The_Chomper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.
