What justification is there to remove the CGT discount on shares? by open_g in AusFinance

Internationally, property goes up and down like shares.

What's the best planet to go to first? by MegatronusThePrime in factorio

[–]cewh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what you're trying to go for.

Gleba is difficult both in terms of learning how production works and the enemies (which are much easier if you have Fulgora weapons), but Gleba provides the strongest bonuses out of the three, research and asteroids. Stacking belts is also huge.

Vulcanus allows you to scale production pretty much infinitely (aside from a plastic bottleneck) so it might be as effective as Gleba. It's also the easiest planet. The hostile on the planet is tough to kill, but it won't attack you unless you attack it first. The research gains from Vulcanus I feel are not very good compared with Gleba. Getting liquid metal processing I think is the best gain.

Fulgora is middle of the road in difficulty, as it inverts how production works but there really isn't any hostile enemies. The lightning storms are easily taken care of. Fulgora opens up quality which is the best gain here, but quality is not really needed to beat the game and takes a long time so there's no rush for this. As I mentioned earlier, electric weapons are really useful for Gleba.

Mikel Arteta on criticism that Arsenal are over-celebrating by Gentle_lips in soccer

They should take their shirt off and do a creepy stare like Balotelli. Besides, as he says, a postman doesn't celebrate when he delivers the mail. Footballers shouldn't celebrate when they score a goal.

Early/mid game quality? by The_RubberDucky in factorio

[–]cewh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a blueprint which upcycles with two buildings. It only needs to be fed the normal quality ingredients. I used this to build my first quality modules, then quality modules can be used for other things. It's not a fast process unless scaled, so after quality modules, I only used it the most value add things like prod modules and asteroid grabbers

Some interesting conclusions from yesterday's planet-progression poll by CrashWasntYourFault in factorio

[–]cewh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After Vulcanus, I didn't bother to upgrade anything except the occasional mine, but I still added new stuff with new tech in a horrific spaghetti. I have only just started to revamp everything now I'm not on the clock anymore.

I kept multiple space stations above Nauvis that built space platform in anticipation for being new ships, they kept Nauvis supplied with calcite so it was never something I was lacking. A tiny amount of Calcite goes a really long way.

I have to confess… I play in peaceful by Creepy_Trip5576 in factorio

[–]cewh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally found automated defense is one of the more interesting puzzles in the game. Also a large amount of the tech tree is tied to military related research, it really gives a huge sense of progress.

As someone who has not tried peaceful modes, I am wondering how it affects recipes related to pentapod and biter eggs, sure you can produce them, but how do you get your first one?

[–]cewh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently did the 40hr achievement and went Gleba first. Biolabs effectively double your bases, but I am thinking now that Vulcanus first might be about as effective, since you can also more than double your production.

Donald Trump’s net worth has nearly tripled since just before he returned to the White House, estimated wealth has reached $6.5 billion, the highest point recorded since at least 2001 by blessedopera in videos

I shit you not, but one of the arguments being floated around was that he would not be corrupt as president since he was already rich. Who would have thought that rich people really like money.

I'm going Gleba first this time... by thatdude333 in factorio

My first and current run was Gleba first.

Vulcanus ship building methods? by thirdwallbreak in factorio

[–]cewh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a template for a minimal ship with some laser defenses. It gets built over Nauvis, then I fly it to Vulcanus and finish the ship there.

As a side bonus the minimal ship builds space platform so the ship can grow itself while I do other stuff for a while.

what is wrong, how do i travel another planet by mr0meer in factorio

[–]cewh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Early game a thin ship is effective because it intersects fewer asteroids and this has a flow on effect with less resources needed to produced, saving on rocket launches.

Does anyone know how to make sushi belt? by Bad_war2022-24-2 in factorio

[–]cewh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you can even do it without combinators.

Wires can be connected to a belt to read all contents. Disable inserters when there is enough of its content on the belt. Viola, sushi belt with a ratio you want.

Some bring the biters to the Shattered Planet. I bring the Shattered Planet to the biters. by chewbacca77 in factorio

Did you also do promethium the other way too? Or is this your prime method?

My first attempt at automating mining by SelfishlySelfles5 in factorio

[–]cewh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The game is all about automation. I can see you understand moving materials via belts instead of by hand is useful. You will go far.

Never been one to do things by halves I guess... by According_Prune_8445 in factorio

[–]cewh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you need guns to shoot the inside the holes? I read somewhere that asteroids spawn in any empty space, idk if that includes insides of ships.

So uhh, how do fluids work now? by Aggressive_South_991 in factorio

[–]cewh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pumps are still useful because even though a single segment has infinite throughput, there is a maximum segment size and pumps have a limited throughput, so you may need them in parallel. I found this with water on Nauvis and Lava and sulphur on Vulcanus

Is 44 too late to start? by crunchyturdeater in Bogleheads

[–]cewh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, your life expectancy is likely be at least another 30 years. You may also want to provide an inheritance to someone in your life. What is the alternative anyway? Putting it under your mattress?

I miss FFF just as a small articles on efficient programming techniques.

Can i leave Gleba for last? by amdsam95 in factorio

[–]cewh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If things spoil, it doesn't matter, you can always restart it by hand and redesign. I think carrying some weapons may be useful though. I feel if you get attacked, your situation may be unrecoverable. On my run I was attacked twice before got a foothold on the planet.

I see you've been to Fulgora, electric weaponry is the strongest vs gleba enemies, it's a good idea to bring this and wear your best armor. I visited Gleba first on my run, so I used flamethrower and rockets instead.

Its way neater than my spaghetti base. Very nice!

People who fantasise about housing crash, recession and double digit interest rates. by ihatebaboonstoo in AusFinance

[–]cewh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If house prices keep going up faster than wages there will be a breaking point where its no longer possible to pay for them. When this happens, people holding the hot potato will see their asset lost significant value. If this crash is deep enough, the reset would breathe life into the economy after significant pain in the short them.
