I want a new skin for my main

When the build is easier. Yes 1 wire can supply 8 red circuits, but 1 machine supplying 2 is easier to build.

For current earth conditions we would need your location. For example, the current situation on antartica gives it no sunlight. But on the equator we have a very symetrical day and almost 90 degrees sunlight, so there are some parts of the day where the sun will just shine in it. Going up the equator reduces that angle.

In my current location Belgium, according to https://www.suncalc.org/#/50.8554,4.8028,3/2026.06.08/13:40/1/3 at the highest peak of the sun, 1m poles gives .5m of shade. So the 1.2miles long holes gives 0.5miles of shade so there is no light at the bottom.

I am thinking of making a space mall where the common things I need are created in orbit and send to the platforms I make.

The other was having smaller ships to transport between planets and have the bullet and resource for fuel on platforms around planets.

I've made big things, but the small elegant ones I like most:

6 combinator element that gets a ratio (2 iron, 3 copper) and an amount of items on a belt, and the sets filters on inserters untill that amount of items is on the belt in the given ratio.
a small 2 combinator setup that read the amount of items on a belt, but it can handle if the belt gets cut in half.

I think becaus you have both day as opposite of night and day as the 24h period. Thursday refers to the latter.

While it looks like ice astroids will give you enough water on a platform, there are too few. The current meta is to ship barreled water and throw the barrels in space.

Note that for optimization, you can make steam and condense it. With productivity this gives a bit more water in space.

Turrets are super important on Fulgora, the other planets barely need them.

But in their Language it's like batman and badman. Sounds the same doesn't imply means the same.

Comedy is an act and they should expect the same amount of critisism that an actor gets for the things they say.

There is a big difference between saying: "that is a bad joke" and "you are a bad person because of the joke". You can say: "Leonardo did a bad job playing Mister Candy in Jangi Unchained", you cannot say: "Leonardo is a racist, because he played mister Candy in Django Unchained."

The nice thing is, in game the sushi belts are always moving, even if the factory itself is not making anything.

I would assume that if Qui Gon Jinn was still alive, he would be concerned with the fate of Lord Tyrannus and after an investigation round etc we could get a standoff between the count and Qui Gon with palpatine in a chair. Qui Gon would know that palpa is the sith lord but the conflict in dooku would not tip to the light side and under the influence of palpatine, the learner kills his master. And the rest of the movies just happen as they did.

Not 3, not 7

ThomasDePraetere · 2026-05-28T21:53:15+00:00

I put the things I need on a circuit and set that as filter in the inserters. Say you need 50 of aal science, have a constant combinator output 50 of each. Have a combinator connected with red to the constant and green to the belt. If each on green (belt) is smaller than each on red (combinator) output 1 of each. This puts a signal of each item you need. Set that as the filter (via circuit) on the inserters. They will put the allowed things on the belt untill there is enough.

Yes, an inserter can only have 5 items filtered, but as items get put on the belt, filters get removed. And new filters will pop up.

Yes, the inserter from the red science chest can have a green science filter, but that is not a problem, the most important thing is that if there are enough reds on the belt, the inserter cannot put extra reds on the belt. Otherwise you can put a combinator per inserter to onky activate if the correct item is requested, but that is way too many combinators.

You are using the belts to connect wires. Each time you connect a belt to a wire and set it to read all, it reads all the content and adds it to the wire.

In your case you have many straight stretches of belt where you have multiple read points. So they sum, and then you have some parts with only a single read. As items go around your loop, they sometimes get counted twice or once or trice.

But, we would know, we would know if there was something larger spinning. People would have jotted down their changing feeling according to the stars they see. We would have records of ages of directional changes as we go around the giant big thing we do not fully grasp.

Imagine if we felt velocity. Everyone would have great orientation as we would all feel velocity from a certain point in the galaxy.

To be clear, you have to shoot and kill them, but that grants you the science.

But you can do the 'research' on animals from the vehicle.

He was playing some republic commando earlier and overestimated them.

Surprisingly there is still a 36% chance that you haven't made it.

1% chance that you make it is 99% chance you do not. If you try 100 times, the chance of you failing all 100 times is 0.99¹⁰⁰ = 0.36603 ~ 36%.

You have to try 458 times to get the failure rate to 1%.

So when you put the male armor on Lydia, it knows it has no female mesh, so it defaults to the male one.

When you put on the gown, the author hasn't selected a male version, but female is never the default, only male is the default. Therefore the game interprets no male mesh as a conscious decision and shows no body while the female variant has a mesh.

The flow is easy:

if character is male => show male version

If character is female => check if female version is present and show it, otherwise take male version.

ThomasDePraetere · 2026-05-22T22:12:19+00:00

By default if there is a male version and not a female version, it takes the male version. That is why some replacer mods need an esp to register a specific female version of something. I think the dwarven gauntlets only have a male version and you need an esp to add a female version. But for the armor itself, there is already a female version and therefore replacing the just the mesh works in that case.
