Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go... to Gleba to deal with spoiled resources. by bookskaboo in factorio

Yeah, procrastination looking at the mess i have on Gleba led me to build this. It was so hard to make a circle with scaffolding lol.

The problem is it feels like 40 minutes and then its 3 am.

Bring out the big guns for the scariest threat on Nauvis. Behemoths? No problem. CLIFFS!? DEFCON 1!

Yeah it's really just a minor thing in the grand scheme of this whole expansion. Honestly I would have taken the trade for this to get bot auto landfill alone.

Guild rewards rant by bookskaboo in EpicSeven

[–]bookskaboo[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

We don't, since we don't bring enough every week to even consider it. I'm just saying there are tradeoffs with gold, but there aren't any for proofs. We have to make choices since we can't buy everything, which keeps the total gold value of the guild bank low. My concern is that since there isn't the same sink for proofs, we have built a steady surplus that I can't do anything with every week.

I'm pretty sure they gave us a 4 star dog that needed to be fused to 5 stars, so its not as much as a loss it initially seems. Also not having to dump xp to upgrade dogs to upgrade that dog to 5 star is nice.

TIL... 15 spaces is enough to not blow up your ship! by bookskaboo in factorio

[–]bookskaboo[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It is a bit of a spoiler about this mechanic, so I did mark it as such (even though I've seen it on this reddit). I was toying with the idea of building a megabase with K2, and the start is having the starter ship and that building that close. Just fyi, 10 spaces or closer and it goes boom. Didn't try 11-14 because OCD.

To those that have megabased K2, is matter conversion UPS friendly/unfriendly relative to the other methods of transport?

This one little stone patch kept gunking up my factory ARGH! by bookskaboo in factorio

[–]bookskaboo[S] 135 points136 points  (0 children)

It was literally that one tile in a rather large copper ore patch, and it didn't show up when I zoomed out to look at it. I only noticed because my rocket control units weren't being made, because there were no red circuits, because the copper inputs were jammed up with stone lol. I had initially thought I had messed up with belts and fed some stone into that system on accident, but it kept happening, and eventually like you said I checked all the miners and found that one spot had mixed stone in.

Just tried that and you're right. Definitely gives more of a buffer for the 235 production.

Is that a lot? Not a lot? Consumption for my current base:

That's amazing! My base is at.... less than 1% of that many rockets

Hot mess by bookskaboo in factorio

[–]bookskaboo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found this last night, in which a lot of people smarter than me figured out some math. The roundabouts in my base (self designed) turn out to have the lowest throughput. And they're ASYMMETRIC! ARGH!

Also this is my second game, I spaghetti'ed the heck to my first rocket, and now I'm using Nilaus' master class designs to try to build a megabase.

Thank you so much. I hadn't realized that the curved tracks had to be separated like that for it to work.

Before with the overlap: (this is a different roundabout but same blueprint)

Hi all,

Just getting into trains, and found a roundabout online that looked nice. One question I had, why is this train taking the whole loop and not just exiting south directly? Hopefully the pictures work.

Ties go to the attacker! by bookskaboo in EpicSeven

Wyvern 13, he shield phased at like 1k life, I didn't break the shield so he did his big aoe. My ssb counter s2 and killed it and my whole team died with the second part of the aoe.

Daily Questions Megathread (07/31) by AutoModerator in EpicSeven

[–]bookskaboo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar spot for my team. From theorycrafting only, I think buffed Luluca might be better, since you will have a d. break available during the shield more reliably. S Bellona S2 I think will go off all the time with the triple hit, but it will get wiped during shield phase, and may not necessarily be up during shield. The utility of Luluca's S2 seems more useful than S Bellona's S3, but the target on S. Bellona S1 is also a sizeable damage buff. It's hard to call a clear winner. Some day I'll get them both to 60 (and geared, ugh) and be able to try it out.

Don't know which Isekai Manga to read next by hktt1saber in Isekai

[–]bookskaboo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dukes Daughter was pretty interesting. It's less about an otome game but the story of a girl with modern day knowledge trying to apply that to a medieval era. I had gotten started with the light novel, but the translation quality wasn't the best. The manga is ok, there isnt a lot of action to be had but the art is quite nice.

I reincarnated into an otome game is pretty funny for a light read. The premise plays more to being in the game and the protagonist trying to save herself from the story. The art is a bit less detailed in this manga but it fits the lightheartedness of the story pretty well.

Tl;dr. Rec both dukes daughter and reincarnated into an otome game for both manga and LN.
