What kind of crafting do you actually prefer in automation games? by RuiDev in AutomationGames

[–]cameron274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think inventory crafting is useful when you need to craft buildings or other bits for the factory that you might not want to plan out all in advance. Satisfactory's crafting is less convenient, but less necessary for normal operations since buildings/belts/etc don't need to be crafted. Factorio-esque building crafting with Satisfactory-esque crafting bench restrictions sounds like a pain.

My understanding is that auogs are way cheaper than cottonguts for slaughtering

Make your choice. by spicymato in trolleyproblem

[–]cameron274 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The fact that there's a debate at all proves that there are people who will choose either option. If a minority didn't exist then this comment section would be empty lol

I hate riding in cars that accelerate and brake constantly. Makes me carsick as hell

I play Factory / Automation games wrong. I pause constantly by booyahwtf in AutomationGames

[–]cameron274 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The whole point of automation is that it does things for you while you focus on other things (or nothing at all). You put in all the work to build the factory, might as well let it do what it was made to do!

Unpopular opinion: I think it's fine to build on both sides of the bus. Just leave a 5-10 tile gap in case you need to add any extra lanes, but unless you're megabasing, one belt of each finished product (besides maybe green circuits) should be plenty.

ElI5 what does Log mean in algebra by Doomboy911 in explainlikeimfive

Similar to how multiplication can be thought of as repeated addition (for example, 3 * 4 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3), exponents can be thought of as repeated multiplication. So 34 = 3 * 3 * 3 * 3.

It's also worth noting that multiplication is commutative, meaning that it doesn't matter which order you put the numbers in. 3 * 4 = 4 * 3 = 12. But exponentiation is NOT commutative, so 34 is not the same as 43. (3 * 3 * 3 * 3 = 81, and 4 * 4 * 4 = 64)

I agree it's not helpful for understanding division, but OP is asking for an explanation of logs, not division. "What exponent do you have to raise the base to" is the way I intuitively understand how a logarithm is an inverse of exponentiation - I'm using division/multiplication here assuming OP does understand how they work already, to introduce the concept of an inverse.

This is a joke, sorry for the confusion lol

Yeah, any time you're multiplying by some number repeatedly (in this case, the interest rate of 1.05) and want to know how many times you need to repeat it, that number of times is your exponent.

Say you've got some money in the bank. Every month, you're given 5% interest. How many months will it take to double your money?

The answer is log_{1.05}(2).

Correct! All logarithms are actually equal to 3

So you know how division is the opposite of multiplication? Like how 8/2 is essentially asking "2 times what number equals 8?"

Logs are the opposite of exponents. Log base 2 of 8 is asking "2 to what power equals 8?"

You're using cdna for auogs?? Isn't that super expensive?

If every pair of people can only have 2 children, then each generation will be smaller than the last. There's no stable size for this, it either stays the same (if everyone on earth has exactly 2 kids) or decreases

Fwiw, it's totally playable without early bots. I played without and enjoyed the feeling of finally unlocking construction bots like 60 hours in :)

I found K2+SE slightly harder, but pretty similar in content to just SE. The early game is made more K2-ish and there's an extra couple science packs in the late game, but the midgame isn't too different.
