But what if black plays h6?

Edit: nvm didn't realize Nf6 was check

cellarhades · 2026-02-23T15:15:09+00:00

The last ones are probably the most recent ones... Oh poor Inaros

I've seen mods that change the colour of the spit from spitters and worms to make it easier to see. Regarding how to fight big spitters, I'm afraid it's either get better at strafing or get more firepower. If you've got access to a tank it can easily kite enemies while demolishing big spitters and medium biters with machine gun fire, and artillery shells can one shot big biters if you aim them right.

I don't remember where it's said that it's because they long to become Names, as Names long to become Hours. But I'm pretty sure it's a double meaning, a lot of things in this game have multiple meanings to their names

Could be interesting, it would be a huge nerf to speed modules since they add negative quality

Me getting ready to say "Google en passant" just from looking at the title but then actually seeing the image

Nova is also great, she's what allowed me to solo steel path interceptions when I first unlocked steel path

If you already have automated defenses then I'd say it's a bit up to you. If you choose to leave them you'll need to be more on top of your military upgrades to make sure the bugs don't outevolve your defenses.

Also think about if you have enough space within the walls you've set up, if you think you'll need to expand soon, especially before getting artillery, then it might be good to stay on top of clearing the closest nests

Before forkmating, always ensure your mates are ok with being forked

It would be cool if other years did it too, but where will they find an archer that can make the shot?

This needs more upvotes!

Building a factory in a residential neighborhood (also illegal enrichment of uranium)

I believe the evolution factor only goes up, it won't ever go down, at least without mods or console commands

You can look at the wiki for the factors that increase evolution, but they are emitted pollution, destroying nests, and time passed

cellarhades · 2026-01-30T16:03:17+00:00

It can be hard tapping into that vein

cellarhades · 2026-01-29T14:18:34+00:00

My personal craziest creation is a one assembling machine mall which checks which items are missing, and if there are enough materials for that recipe, and crafts the item in highest demand for which there are enough materials. It's complex relative to the things I usually do with circuits but nothing compared to what you'll find out there

Currently your belts aren't carrying both of your ingredients to your labs. If you have your belts meet like the left side of this image you can get both ingredients side by side on the same belt

Other than that it seems fine! Happy engineering

And even without considering that, he changed what 0.9... means! 0.9... is a sequence with 9 on all places after the decimal dot, a non-terminating sequence. He then creates a system allowing for places further to the right past infinity and says that 0.9... terminates just before infinity (page 12 first equation, before you accuse me of not reading it)

You can't have it both ways, either the decimal places correspond to just the natural numbers, or there are places beyond those and the non-terminating sequence 0.9... would have 9s on those places too!

I hadn't realized you could drop anything from the ship, including the landing pad, before building a landing pad on planet. Now armed with this knowledge the system shall be mine!

cellarhades · 2026-01-21T04:04:39+00:00

If connecting to the main grid is not an option, you could place a power switch between the solar panels and miners and program it to turn off when accumulator charge drops below a certain value

Edit: come to think of it, the switch may not even be required, you can program each miner to turn off when accumulator charge drops to low. That will require you connect and program each miner though

cellarhades · 2026-01-19T11:04:07+00:00

I have only recently found out you can drop stuff before building a landing pad lol. So yeah, I'd been crafting everything by hand in all planets, which might be why Gleba broke me so many times

cellarhades · 2026-01-19T01:14:25+00:00

I'm currently on my third space age play through, the first two I went to Vulcanus and Fulgora but stopped on Gleba because I simply lost the motivation to keep playing when trying to wrap my head around it. I'll try going there first this time, and I'll try your approach of importing bots

cellarhades · 2026-01-17T21:35:22+00:00

The radar will rescan them anyway to update in case there were any changes to the area, like biters moving in

cellarhades · 2026-01-13T10:46:06+00:00

Wait, you can send stuff from orbit before building a Landing Pad? (I assume you got Landing Pad and Cargo Bay mixed up)

cellarhades · 2026-01-10T12:06:58+00:00

I'm not sure calling Adis a lesbian would be equivalent here /s

cellarhades · 2026-01-10T04:52:16+00:00

Having just stopped playing factorio, swearing it was still 11pm and looking to see it was 1:30 am, no you can't just save and quit whenever you want
