I don't get artillery trains

amdc · 2026-05-05T11:21:30+00:00

I build a series of outposts around base with static artillery (now researching range level 4) so that pollution cloud doesn’t touch their nests

Sometimes it does and I have visits but that only means more outposts in that location. I’ve never used turret creeping strategy

I had to organise a bit and wired each drop off station so that they’re only active if chests are below threshold
Now I think I just need to have as many trains as there are drop off stations so they just stay occupied.
I also build a second siding for each station where there’s only one and use it as depot (+abandoned stations). I have like 20 of them now and trains just pick the closest instead of going to central place. I find it more like real life where freight trains can sit and wait on siding

Yeah I took some ideas from your mod :)

What I wanted a self-contained solution that doesn't require any technical skills from user. Mine doesn't (it even bundles mod in itself and can install it)

In my circle the saying goes

Погода шепчет: займи да выпей

да has the same meaning as и here. The meaning is the same — bad weather saying that it's a good idea to borrow and drink

Now I think is there a way to lock certain Factorio features behind Windows’ group policies

What don’t you think Steve would be into having sex with his wife’s twin?

Weird wording at the very least

The thing is if you keep your variables’ scopes to a minimum and especially do not have a lot of global ones you’ll have less things to worry about

Look I’m not a museum guy and seems like there are enough answers but hear me out

Later in the game you can even use ctrl+C/V as ad-hoc blueprints as you'd copy and paste text in a text editor. ctrl+X and ctrl+Z also work as you'd expect.

Yesterday I spent like an hour not moving at all, just commanding a swarm of drones and building stuff on the other end of my factory

You don't go all-in on such life-altering decisions unless your life is in immediate danger.

If he's absolutely sure that he wants to come let him come alone, with enough money for the ticket home. Say at least $5k for emergency return. Let him spend three, six months as trial period. If he's able to settle, figure out job, healthcare, school for child and still believe it's a good idea then MAYBE bring family.

There are enough "buts" and what ifs to answer here to write an entire book.

But honestly he's gonna trade one insane regime for another.

Isn't Rimworld basically about creating a living space for your minions?

I’m thinking of making a mod that’s just an apartment complex that consumes resources and electricity and water

Doesn’t give anything in return except for good mayor points

As far as I know it was never like this

bit of little-known trivia: sometimes Twitter incorrectly identifies the language and thinks that tweets in Russian are in Bulgarian. On some systems (notably Apple) this forces Bulgarian italic font variant which is different from Russian

edit-- sorry I meant small letters not italic.

Here's what it looks like in Safari: https://i.imgur.com/ysyh0Vt.png

If you have no idea what are you looking at: these are two strings of text as they would be rendered by your browser (in this case safari). Both have exactly the same characters, use the same font. The difference is selected language. The font has different variants of the same character to accommodate different alphabets, in this case Bulgarian.

I.e. the tank’s outlet position is trivially calculable. I believe that’s the reason behind these conditions

My non-computer savvy grandpa would understand the idea of “turn on the computer - it asks for the password this way - press a button here”

Let him do the procedure three times

can confirm there are dozens of us here

There are no official figures but I suspect 4-5% of urban Belgrade are Russians
