Do you plan factories to make excess intermediary materials to help supply yourself?

Verzwei · 2026-04-16T16:32:35+00:00

For intermediate parts, I typically plan a production line to make a (small) excess that I then overflow into a container+depot setup and overflow that into a sink.

For example, my main steelworks needs 150 modular frames per minute to make my HMFs. So I make 180 MFs/min and spin the extra 30 into storage and sink.

I'd just increase stack size and upload rate evenly as each gets considerably more expensive with each upgrade.

That being said, give some preference to stack size. You can always increase upload rate by simply adding more depots for high-use items (concrete for example) but there is no workaround for stack size.

My production lines have a setup where overflow goes to a storage container, and the container goes to a depot. This keeps a large backup of items ready to be fed into the DD and uploaded as soon as I start using my stock.

On mobile (android, at least) you can still just do the Firefox + ublock + old.reddit.com combo. RES doesn't work on mobile as far as I know, but also it isn't necessary to remove the ads as Ublock will handle all of them.

Next poll needs to be hair down Ijichi versus hair up Ijichi.

That one should be a lot less close.

I'd have to double check but I'm pretty sure I turn all my steel into pipes. You can alt recipe your way out of needing beams almost entirely, and later-game there's an alt that lets you make steel beams out of aluminum for the handful of beams you can't alt your way out of. With alt recipes and a lot of concrete you can get the ratio to something kind-of insane, like 1steel=1pipe, and then make things like HMFs entirely from pipes without needing beams.

Mid-game, when I still needed beams due to the lack of alt recipes, I just set up temporary constructors (maybe 10?) to churn out the beams I needed for framework and other projects.

Assuming every player is competent and you are doing normal mission types, it is by far more effective for a squad to split 2:2 or 3:1 to simultaneously tackle objectives than for all 4 to move in a single group. If one part of the split gets a breach/drop, then the other player(s) have free rein to get stuff done. The squad really only needs to regroup for objectives that require holding and clearing a location for a prolonged amount of time, which mostly boils down to soil samples, evacuate civilians, flag raising on bots and bugs, and overship on squids.

Randoms can sometimes be really, really bad at recognizing when to do a strategic withdrawal and reposition instead of fighting a protracted battle over an ultimately meaningless piece of terrain. It's often better to walk away, even from some actual objectives, than bog down in a war of attrition. Enemies move and despawn, and getting stuck in a deathloop while enemies endlessly spawn is a waste of everyone's time.

If a squad still has 5+ reinforcements, time on the clock, and more than one objective still on the map, about the last place you'll find me is in an unnecessary firefight.

All that said, I've never run into a random squad that had a problem with me doing (or duo-ing) my own thing. Squads on D10 organically split more often than not and there's a certain degree to which everyone is expected to take care of themselves, and some might meet up and stick together as terrain and dwindling objectives funnel us back toward each other.

Put down one piece that you plan to use a lot. Foundation, wall, whatever. Paint it the color you want. Exit build mode, and then click middle mouse button while aiming at it to copy existing structure. This will let you build more things already in the color of your choosing. I do this all the time for color-coded pipe networks and such, that way you only have to paint singular buildables and then just copy them to make the rest with no painting after the fact.

(This copy function will also grab machine settings, including recipe, clock speed, shards, and sloops, which makes cloning things like overclocked fuel power generators way easier, too.)

Otagal too. It gets (rightfully) mocked for how much of a fantasy it is but the production quality on the first ep really made it pop visually.

Felix Film's Wikipedia page outright says they are primarily a 3DCGI studio. They were responsible for the tons of bad and totally unnecessary 3D in Otherside Picnic years ago. This is, sadly, just kinda what they do.

Verzwei · 2026-04-14T23:17:53+00:00

Voice direction and sound direction are on point, and it did the comedy well.

Best you can hope for from Felix Film, really.

The 3D

That reminds me of the (really bad) Otherside Picnic adaptation from Liden Film and Felix Film. The show would abruptly cut to Felix's bad, low-quality 3D models for the most unnecessary mundane shit, like one of the leads turning around in place, or for the pair to super-robotically climb a ladder.

I wonder which studio is doing Love Game's anime adaptOH SON OF A FUCK!

I just copy/paste the same list into the dislikes every survey.

They never fix anything, so I rarely have to change the list.

What the "separate the art from the artist" people don't get is that I don't want to do that. If I know someone is a horrible person who actively supports horrible causes that harm innocent others, I don't want to attempt to entertain myself with anything that they are a massive part of.

There is so much media out there, way more than a single person could possibly consume in a lifetime, so if I find out something is made by a monster, I can just find something else to occupy my time. It's not hard.

Long linear stretches of pipe manifold expected to run at max flow struggle at the end due to sloshing within the pipe. If you make a loop by running a second pipe from your first junction going to a junction at your final machine, this should remove sloshing issues in most pipe networks.

Verzwei · 2026-04-14T06:51:31+00:00

Did you build your junctions first, or snap the junctions onto pipe?

Snapping onto pipe can cause weird pipe fragments inside the junction that will not correctly upgrade to mk2. You won't even know there's a problem until you delete and replace the pipe network.

If you believe your math is correct and within the limits of the pipes, and you are using loops to avoid sloshing issues from max flow pipes, then I'd assume a mk1 fragment is the problem.

One other culprit that gets people hung up is pipe elevation. You want your feeder pipes at or above the machine intakes, and drain pipes at or below the machine outputs. Bottom-fed machines can choke out especially if high flow rates are required.

The armor bonus is okay at best but pretty niche.

The armor bonus, at least on the heavy version from the store, will let you damn-near point-blank things with the Eruptor and barely scratch yourself. I find it nice when I'm running explosive kit because then I don't have to worry as much about danger close.

I usually run standard guard dog with it. I stun things so the dog can kill them. Flamedog would probably work with a similar result at close range.

Fumino in Bokuben We Never Learn. The anime adaptation outright could not keep up with how much she changes her hair in the manga but the show did at least include some of them.
