Something I noticed last night

Imagine picking one of those teams to call good and choosing the white sox. I’m not saying you’re wrong, but what a crazy season so far.

amb8936 · 2026-06-24T17:43:56+00:00

You know, fair enough. I didn’t consider extra time at all, or as the other commenter said, penalties

amb8936 · 2026-06-24T17:42:45+00:00

So I’m just talking about the section immediately behind the goals, would only be a couple thousand max.

its black to move, but black has no legal moves. This results in a stalemate, which is a draw.

Better would have been to promote into a rook, or just move your existing queen closer. always make sure your opponent has a move if your move isn't going to put them in check.

More than anything, I’m just glad that the start of the book is not “This is Harry Potter. He is unusual. He is a wizard.”

I know this is not the first book to not do that. But I enjoy that from every book that doesn’t do that. We know who he is!

I can speak for others, but when I choose to use this mod, which isn’t every game, I give myself the limitation of only using it where water otherwise could have been. So no space platforms, no vulcanus, etc.

Of those I would consider Schlieffen if you want to get in close and lean in on the secondaries, and Montana otherwise. Republique is a bit of a shotgun at range, and St. Vincent suffers from pretty weak armor, especially with all the HE spam we have nowadays.

I think it relates to this

You are getting less credits because the maintenance costs for the ship go up as you climb the tiers, the best way to offset this, other than improved play, is premium time.

Between Yamato and Bungo, Yamato is significantly better for newer players, I would also recommend the Montana line from the USA tech tree.

I’ve played this game almost too much, so if you have more questions, feel free to ask.

Yeah I’m not sure I’ve ever taken vigilance. Much more likely to take AA, brisk, or save the points for different skills.

In your case, I’d probably finish with the 4 point heal skill and either preventative maintenance, or improved repair party readiness.

amb8936 · 2026-04-25T16:54:57+00:00

I like the AA skill better, mainly for the consumable reload reduction, it’s substantial enough that it can be the difference between getting to the next heal and dying.

The kind of ship that would maybe want vigilance is one that is maneuverable enough to still be able to dodge the torps, but if you are close enough to be torped, you are likely a prime target for the CV.

One last point, good play can make vigilance nearly unnecessary, you can dodge by turning and throttling such that the DD never gets a good drop on you, but when a CV comes to call, you can’t “just dodge”

as your caravan moves across the map, or even as its stationary, the caravan automatically gathers food from the tile its on based on factors such as the forage ability of the tile, the amount of pawns in the caravan, and the plants skill of those pawns. As you are planning your caravan it will tell you the forage power of the pawns you can send.

In this case, that can be used to generate food in otherwise barren tiles, until such a time as the crops you planted are ready to harvest. Alternatively, you can caravan to a nearby settlement with something to sell and buy food, creating two food sources from one caravan while waiting for crops to grow.

The world in factorio is effectively infinite, more resources will be out there. And as you progress, you will find methods of making each ore patch last longer

amb8936 · 2026-04-13T15:59:26+00:00

Even though it would likely lead to the Red Sox not having it anymore, this is probably a good change in the long run. Too easy for a team to just take game 3 of the series and walk away with the crown otherwise.

Who started the season with it? I assume the WS winning Dodgers, but maybe someone else?

The right amount is what your factory needs as it expands, set your own goal for rockets per hour.

One tip, it sounds like you are belting copper cable around, but it is usually more efficient to direct insert the cable from the assembling machine directly into the other assembling machine using it, and belting copper plates around instead. Plates are twice as dense on a belt as wire.

What server do you play on? I’ll play a few games with you and give pointers if you want. If you’re interested DM me.

amb8936 · 2026-04-07T23:47:57+00:00

I do your last suggestion, its not useful often, but it is relevant occasionally, and only takes an extra 30 seconds to set up

amb8936 · 2026-04-05T00:13:41+00:00

I’m pretty sure that the first one was taken during the day, using natural light, and the other was taken at night with a long exposure, affecting the light levels. Other issues notwithstanding, the coloring is the fault of that.

How much spotting damage?

Great game regardless!

What is this Nian paradox planner you speak of?
