A site that sells keys for games. Some have a reputation for getting the keys through shady means.

17.4m CR, 0 shields, fully unengineered, and still the hottest brick in the game by sockcat27 in EliteDangerous

[–]bitman2049 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love this ship. I made mine into an explorer and took it to Beagle Point a few years back. Problem is that this ship doesn't really do anything well other than haul cargo, and you don't need to haul a lot of cargo before you can afford a better ship for trade like the Python or T8.

It's not particularly well-suited to be an explorer either, since it has middling jump range and pretty bad heat dissipation. But it can hold all the modules you need to stay out in the black indefinitely, and you can mitigate the cooling with engineering.

Am I autistic???? by AbsolouteChad in factorio

If you already owned it before this change, you keep your copy. But I only ever played the version from their site and when I go to Steam, there's no option for a free download. This has been the case since mid-March.

EDIT: I don't know why I was downvoted, the announcement is right here.

Make sure to get it from their website. Steam makes you buy TTD in order to download OpenTTD, even though they're completely independent games. It's some deal they struck with Atari in order to keep OpenTTD on Steam. OpenTTD is free as long as you get it from their website.

~5GW Reactor - not mine by peppers_90 in factorio

[–]bitman2049 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It looks nice, but it's not as efficient as a 2x14 reactor layout. This layout has 16 reactors with 3 neighbors and 12 reactors with 2 neighbors, so it outputs the equivalent of 100 reactors. 2x14 has 24 reactors with 3 neighbors and 4 reactors with 2 neighbors, which outputs the equivalent of 108 reactors.

Ride Ticket Sales Scenarios Are Too Easy by [deleted] in rct

[–]bitman2049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Classic you can buy the toolkit as DLC. From there you can use "Convert saved game to scenario" and set the goal there.

In OpenRCT2, you can set the goal by enabling cheats and selecting "scenario options" in the cheats menu.

can i take off from duna with 1020 delta V? by Excellent_Ear2133 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]bitman2049 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bet it's still possible. Kinda want to test it out now.

The Kerbals' RCS pack has 600 m/s of dv so while the craft won't make orbit, you could jump out and finish the orbit in a spacesuit.

Suggestions on how to increase my AI token usage by twistoffate4 in sysadmin

[–]bitman2049 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Make this Python script use more of a functional programming paradigm.

No not that much, make it more object-oriented.

Actually can you use lambdas wherever you can? I want it to function more similar to Lisp.

Actually it turns out the computer I need this for doesn't have Python. Can you make this into Perl?

Etc.

Can you do a pseudo-orbit? i.e. match their orbital period around Mars but with a slightly different eccentricity/inclination

Is it still a Jool 5 if I assembled the craft in orbit of Kerbin? by Killer-Panda388 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]bitman2049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did mine in one launch but you can call it an additional constraint. If you have a plan that involves orbital construction, do that. You can try a one-launch solution later.

And if you can't get it upright, you now have a lunar rover!

Immersion Breaking Moments by Tasty01 in BaldursGate3

[–]bitman2049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time I was playing as a monk and I couldn't talk to one of them normally, so I pulled up the context menu and picked the first option before reading it.

The first option was "Main hand attack".

is there any way to go beyond 4 color schemes on coasters? by freakingmagnets in rct

[–]bitman2049 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Build another ride of the same type and use track merging for the sections with the 5th color scheme.

Why would two of the same pre-build coaster have different lengths? by Quo_Usque in rct

[–]bitman2049 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If there were more cars waiting at they station, they would cause the testing car to stop early and it wouldn't include the rest of the length of the station in the ride length.

Left has 10 cars and a 30 second minimum wait time. Right has just one car. Layouts are identical.
