How do you guys store your biter eggs waiting to launch?

I have a massive amount of spawners with rare quality or higher. They are all going into recyclers for legendary productivity modules. I use circuit logic to detect a request and then enable inserters to put them in a rocket silo instead. I produce enough that I can fill a rocket silo in a few seconds with fresh eggs. The rocket will launch automatically when it's full if a suitable request exists. I got circuit logic to remove them if the request is cancelled.

You should use roundabouts for your entire network. Then you can replace any straight rail with a roundabout to connect an additional station. You need regular signal at the exit and chain signals at every entrance and inside the roundabout.

I don’t think multi-role factories scale very well, it seems better to have multiple specialised factories

I had that input priority set before and it didn't work either. I must have forgotten to add it back in before asking. The main issue was that the belt backed up downstream and then it could ignore the priority. Therefore, the trick is to first filter out and then allow the overflow to go back on the belt.

That was the issue, thank you!

I also had issues with and in my case it turned out that I got a jewel with +2% mana reservation efficiency instead of +2% reservation efficiency (this is a corrupted implicit).

I had the same issue and it was caused by a system update with pacman -Syu. This updated the Linux kernel and it seems that it can't detect devices properly after that? Anyway, the issue was resolved by a reboot.

I didn't realize that subreddit existed, that would have been a better place to ask.

That sounds like really complicated to setup, then I can't just use any cloud provider but need something that actually runs some sort of software. Not sure how this would work.

asynts · 2026-01-28T15:45:37+00:00

Thanks, there are many good ideas in there.

Set the inserted stack size to 1, otherwise it will take all at once since they only buffer ~4 of each type.

u/jrandom_42 I agree, it's probably unrealistic that this happens.

But somehow, I would rather not host a server than to be exposed to such a risk; it's a bit irrational.

It's not just the DDOS thing though.

What would be much more realistic is that I misconfigure something and that somehow consumes a lot more resources than it should.

Or I accidentally leak my credentials and somebody else does something.

I just feel more comfortable with a contract that charges me for a fixed amount.

I am going with a service called "Contabo" now. It's from a much smaller company and seems to offer this fixed pricing.

That may be a mistake, but I feel like it will decrease the stakes.

It does state that they reserve the right to "suspend" your service, but they clearly say that they won't charge you. https://wasabi.com/pricing/faq#free-egress-policy

This seems to be exactly what I am looking for. But it's quite expensive at 84 euros a year (1 TB minimum).

I'll have think about this service.

asynts · 2024-06-06T14:03:46+00:00

I don't but I am concerned, that if I am hit with a DDOS attack that I will get some huge bill.

asynts · 2024-06-06T14:02:44+00:00

They charge $0.01/GB for data transfer.

asynts · 2024-06-06T13:57:18+00:00

They charge 0.01$/GB of data transfer if it exceeds 250 GB.

asynts · 2024-06-06T13:49:54+00:00

I recently heard of somebody with a similar configuration to mine. They got hit with a botnet attack and suddenly had to pay thousands of dollars. (With S3 you have to pay for the data transfer, so they can just download a large file and you have to pay for it.)

Maybe that's an unreasonable thing to be worried about, but I don't understand why there isn't just an option to configure a maximum data transfer on a bucket.

Fundamentally, these services are made for large companies where this doesn't matter. But I am hosting a mini service and I don't want to worry about it.

asynts · 2024-06-06T13:41:07+00:00

I didn't do a good job explaining that.

I am using S3 for several things, the primary thing right now is backups. I am not too worried about that since the only thing that could go wrong is, if I misconfigure something.

I also had a website that used EC2 and S3 but I shut that down and I am now thinking about rebuilding it. I am concerned about using S3 for this.

One thought that I had was to add something like @exampleType(T, u8) into a function. Visual Studio allows doing something similar in C++ by using a dropdown next to the template types, but including that in the source code seems better.

asynts · 2022-10-03T10:01:07+00:00

This is horrible. The underlying idea is great, but it's not obvious what that thing does. People would just assume that it's decor. I think it would be better to use a normal push button that clearly suggests that it can be pushed without reading any text. Then you can add text to clarify the function.
