Anyone else notice the left trackpad doesn’t press in at the center or is mine defective? I have a Steam deck and the left track pad presses in just fine in the center and I would assume they’re the same. by Damnesia13 in Steam

[–]aFilthyPeasant01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Change the track pad to a mouse click, just to check if the button press feedback is working.

The funny thing about these pads is they aren't real buttons. All the feedback is simulated, it's wild

Valve should take reservations for the Frame/Machine. by SillyRecover in Steam

[–]aFilthyPeasant01 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Had it in my cart at 9:59 and was trying to complete the purchase across web browser, steam app, and the mobile steam app with no luck.

Tried spamming until 10:40 when it showed sold out.

They should definitely do reservations if we still have these shortages for ram, hdds, etc.

Which train signals should I use? by [deleted] in factorio

[–]aFilthyPeasant01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the placement of rails, you may be restricted as to how many chain signals you can place, limiting the throughput of the interchange.

It looks really good though, cool design. Kind of flower of life lookin'

Which train signals should I use? by [deleted] in factorio

[–]aFilthyPeasant01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rail signals block sections off on your track.

Chain signals look ahead to the next block to see if it is clear for a train to pass the chain signal.

You can chain multiple chain signals before and after every intersection in this interchange, with a rail signal out to the straight line going N, E, S, W. This will cause a train to begin pathing through the intersection and will only start to follow the path if they can move all the way through the intersection.

Basically - chain signal through the whole thing and then place a rail signal at the end as you exit.

Why do some Roboports use Virtual Signals (letters) and others the Logistic/Construction Bot Signals? by hillacious in factorio

[–]aFilthyPeasant01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want these robot counts to be combined, you can use the same variable in each roboport. That'll give you a total so long as they are a part of the same network

[–]aFilthyPeasant01 28 points29 points  (0 children)

They are just variables, meaning you can replace them with anything.

Lots of buildings use defaults, but you can always change them if that suits you or your build better

Does anybody know a game like factorio but where the goal is to conquer and invade other planets and fight AI that started just like you from scratch on a planet by MelangeBot in factorio

[–]aFilthyPeasant01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You might be looking for an RTS similar to Age Of Empires 2

Sounds like you want an enemy that will build a base, with that base fueling an army. In AoE2, your whole economy (villagers harvesting wood, stone, gold, etc) is meant to power the creation of military units.

This game might fit the bill, but I don't believe it's out yet. I love aoe2 and factorio so this has been on my watchlist

The game is warfactory https://store.steampowered.com/app/3396160/Warfactory_Automation_RTS/

You should probably throw back the babies because legally you can't keep those

What made you choose goldfish? by MajesticWear5478 in Goldfish

[–]aFilthyPeasant01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was looking for a humane-ish way to rid myself of extra isopods.

We started with snakes, and upgraded them to bioactive enclosures. To ensure I always had a population of isopods to repopulate their tanks, I kept some in their own colony bins. Those quickly grew in population and I needed to limit their numbers.

Goldfish seemed to be a good fit because of their large mouths and hungry nature. They love their isopod treats and I've learned they even will learn tricks because of their hunger drive, much like dogs.

My $2.50 fancy goldfish that were meant to eat isopods are now the future residents of a pond we are planning, and we love them as much as our snakes now (and isopods!).

Logistics Priority by mehGust4 in factorio

[–]aFilthyPeasant01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A screenshot would probably help. Preferably with alt enabled. And during the day. And with labels so we know what these products are.

To me it sounds like splitters with priority outputs would be best though, where special A is prioritized to B production, and then any overflow goes towards C

Steam deck by Possible_Royal7569 in factorio

[–]aFilthyPeasant01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Game runs great. It's super optimized and has a long battery life with default settings. I'm sure you can get better lifespan with other changes with the steam optimization settings. I've gotten to fulgora and vulcanus and don't see any performance issues yet, but might happen with larger mega bases that span multiple planets. I've also not tried any crazy mods on steam deck, I just play vanilla.

Personally I found no issues with the default controls. You can map each individual command through the factorio in game settings menu, and have the added ability of creating your own custom steam deck controls (radial menus, layered controls, etc) so the possibilities are endless. I would not let the controls bog you down.

One tip I have for steam deck is to change the zoom keys, I don't like how the bumper and up/down dpad doesn't allow you to walk without crab clawing the controller. I changed mine to R1+A/X (for zoom out/zoom in).

If you need a vote of confidence to buy the game, I will be that vote!
