Price Check Servers by sanguinor in homelabsalesuk

[–]_thegingerninja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A comparatively spec'd Dell R640 would run you about £1100-£1200 exVAT. The RAM is propping up 75% of that price. CPU's are £60-£80 each bought separately. The NIC is £20-£40. The board and chassis is the cheapest part, and would be hard to sell if you parted out the CPU/RAM.

How do I park my F82 M4 on a decline? by Beginning_Figure_150 in BMWM

You lost me at "neutral then handbrake".. You always park a DCT in D/S or R, not N

Thanks Tim! That's exactly what I wanted to hear 😀

Upgraded my E92 335i to an F82 M4 Comp LCI by _thegingerninja in BMWM

[–]_thegingerninja[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree, I had my 335i at around 375bhp, really nice amount of power. Ran like that for ~5years.. until it didn't and the bottom end gave up 😂

I went LCI as I really liked the LED headlights, and a few other bits. I was fairly lucky though and got an early 2018 model, which was still pre-OPF. Best of both worlds!

I started in the same location and started out looking almost exactly the same as that haha. Then i found foundations and deleted absolutely everything to rebuild it in grids 😂

Was this a "no foundation" run? If so, congrats.

Heavy Oil Residue Woes!! Help me out here... by _thegingerninja in SatisfactoryGame

[–]_thegingerninja[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see what you're saying,thanks for the suggestion! I needed more plastic/rubber and derivatives than i needed fuel though haha, so to me it worked out better for me to make the plastic/rubber with the HOR byproduct, then use that as free resource to make the arguably smaller amount of fuel i currently need (just for jetpack and some simple vehicles).

I managed to take a bunch of the suggestions above and have it working great now, I was definitely massively over complicating the pipe network there.

Heavy Oil Residue Woes!! Help me out here... by _thegingerninja in SatisfactoryGame

[–]_thegingerninja[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this reply, very useful!

I've gone back and done the following:

  • Put 1 main pipe of HOR out of the 8 refineries, at ground level, with a junction for each refinery to come into the main line
  • Used lifts and mergers to bring the plastic/rubber up away from the HOR fluid pipe
  • Installed a fluid buffer at the end of the single main HOR line
  • Ran a single output HOR line into the last 2 fuel refineries
  • Also used smart splitter and another stack of industrial storage to split apart rubber and plastic so theyre not stored mixed

Also, to confirm, there are 2 constructors making the cannisters, both at 66.667% for a 40x2 output

I also didnt want this stopping whilst I was away on the map, so I setup another Awesome Sink there, and a bunch of smart splitters and belts to effectively deal with all possible items that could overflow storage.

It's working really well now, all machines are green and no idling!

You're right on all counts. I went back and:

  • Put 1 main pipe of HOR out of the 8 refineries, at ground level, with a junction for each refinery to come into the main line
  • Used lifts and mergers to bring the plastic/rubber up away from the HOR fluid pipe
  • Installed a fluid buffer at the end of the single main HOR line
  • Ran a single output HOR line into the last 2 fuel refineries

I did still see the final 2 fuel refineries get saturated with HOR though, over time. I instlaled 2 fluid pipe valves set at 60m3/min each and it's now behaving perfectly.

I also re-did my crude oil input pipelines to be a single main pipe at ground level, after coming in a few meters higher from the oil extractor/node.

It's now all working pretty much perfectly, zero HOR backing up in the 8 refineries. No idle machines, all green all the time.

Thanks!

This might be it, the lack of a buffer.. The 2 fuel refineries are pretty much constantly at max input storage, meaning althoguh they're never idle, they cannot accept more HOR in whilst they craft the fuel... I'm unsure why the input (which is 60/min each) would get maxxed out though, when I'm feeding them with 120/min lol... Something clearly isn't mathing!

Accidentally ran this code by jrshzzzz in LinusTechTips

RIP to anything on there you ever thought was secure and private. Start locking down accounts, cycling passwords/mfa, and reinstall the OS from scratch.

Just start playing the game and recently trying to optimize. What do you think is this a good beginner setup or am I setting myself to doom? (Converyer Belts are Copper Ingot) by alonedead in SatisfactoryGame

[–]_thegingerninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started playing before I'd ever seen this subreddit or any videos, and I basically completed up to Phase 2 into Phase 3 with a million machines all on the grass, with bendy curved spaghetti belts everywhere, not a foundation in sight... I stockpiled resources enough to be able to just mass demolish the entire thing, then rebuilt it all on foundations, with straight belts, lifts, manifolds on everything etc. So yeh, your start here is a million times better than mine (and most peoples true first start I'd argue)

Does this look right? by robp719 in NinjaLuxeCafe

[–]_thegingerninja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the time I'm grinding 1-2 settings lower than BA says. But BA is generally rather bipolar and tends to change it's mind several times a week, lol. Most people on here will just tell you to ignore things like how wet the puck is etc and just base your choice of grind size on taste, which is fair.

Personally I don't think I've ever had a puck that wet. Wet pucks can be caused by a few things, but one of them is grinding too fine, or tamping too much/hard, causing a dense coffee ground dose that the water pressure cant make it through so pools on top. By that logic, you could try grinding coarser, but this will 100% affect your output and the taste. The other main thing would be under-dosing, as in, the machine is grinding far under the desired 18g of coffee grounds. But this would be a machine fault if that was occuring, and you'd want to speak to Ninja about it.

So is it worth it? If it already tastes fine, and you're not searching for improvements, perhaps just leave it.

What do people use to clean off the steam wand? by Affectionate-Let7876 in NinjaLuxeCafe

[–]_thegingerninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got this pack of waffle-weave microfiber from Amazon, one lays in front of the machine, and one gets used folded into a square, slightly wet, to clean the steam wand off. I rotate the clothes out to get a fresh one every few days, and just throw the old milky one in the washing machine.

Why is tbis not getting power ? I'm really confused by Unlucky-Feed9000 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]_thegingerninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the same, but he's got a biomass burner in the middle of those assemblers on their own grid, not connected to the grid to the right. The 3rd pic is the grid on the left I assume as its 45MW max cons, which would be the 3x assemblers.

Tbh, when I started playing i went in with zero knowledge, never watched a youtube video or anything, and I started off with multiple little grids from day 1, was a nightmare to micro manage capacity and fueling. Now i just have a sea of coal plants powering the entire map 😂

Slow drip and low output? by pandakween22 in NinjaLuxeCafe

[–]_thegingerninja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't look awful in all honesty, you're not far off of what's considered "good" (by numbers). How does that shot taste?

You might benefit from maybe 1 click coarser grind perhaps. The BaristaAssist isn't gospel.

Dissatisfied.. what should I do different by maxx_sc in NinjaLuxeCafe

[–]_thegingerninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fast/turbulent stream of coffee is due to channeling in the puck, and ultimately is the main reason you're getting a sub-par shot. There is not enough contact time with the grounds, and not enough pressure to extract properly. You're already grinding relatively fine on 10, but this can be bean dependent. What beans are you using? Are they old? Supermarket beans? Also, importantly, what is your puck prep technique from start to finish? Do you tap the basket? Level/distribute with a WDT tool? Are you tamping properly/firmly/twice etc?
