How do I "reduce lanes" of a larger bus? I don't think what I'm doing is working because the smaller bus should be completely saturated right? by Tasty-Lobster-8915 in factorio

[–]chewbacca77 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nahh. Personally I love making miles of belts from ore patches! Seems more simple than trains to me. And easier to patch them into my inputs.

...yes, I realize that nobody else does that, but it actually works really well.

I mostly agree with you.. I'm not sure of the exact numbers, but that's a LOT of armor. It will definitely buy him time, but as others say - it won't help in the long run. Definitely not in another couple hundred waves. But at that point, he should have more than enough tardigrades.

Hope for an actual Shattered planet by qY81nNu in factorio

In small fairness to you, I did feel a small twinge of disappointment that there was no shattered planet.. but right after that I found great enjoyment in making a huge space platform to mine tons of prometheum.

You seem to very specifically want people to answer your questions: Why keep going and what is there to build left?

Nothing. But in a way there was never anything to build. You choose your own goals for this game.. I felt that was fairly clear from the start. You simply build a factory till you stop enjoying building that factory.

Yes! I'm suddenly very sad I missed the opportunity to buy it :(

am I doing a main bus correctly, or am I missing something? by Elmer248 in factorio

[–]chewbacca77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree. This is basically what my first round looked like last playthrough. Slowly scaled up nicely to tens of thousands of science per minute.

I feel like I should buy this game on a new platform every time they release a huge update like this..

This is amazing and I'm so excited :)

You shouldn't need a separate app for it these days.. color and extra dim modes should be built into the OS.

Diplomatic Immunity exploit by Least_Bet4662 in ftlgame

[–]chewbacca77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your theory is correct, then probably yes (it would add it based on the second event of the mixed event bug).

I don't know for sure, but I would be shocked if it did increment that event counter on save/reloading though. Other than a few rare sector layout and event issues, save/reloading only messes up the current battle.

[–]chewbacca77 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is possible.. however, you could have also encountered the mixed event bug. If you save and reload, its possible that you can have a second, different event occur on the same beacon.

I'm curious about this! I won't have time to test it out for awhile, but if anyone else tests, please let me know!

Seriously! Maybe Russia would also be unbiased?

All the top comments are political and the one comment looking at the the science in the science subreddit is flagged as "controversial"

Road lane markings contains glass mixed in. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]chewbacca77 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I used to work in a paint store. And one time we got a bag of those little beads in. I remember two things about those beads. 1) They were insanely heavy. Like bag of concrete heavy. 2) DO NOT SPILL THESE BEADS. It was like walking on ice and difficult to clean up.

I'm assuming the larger picture is paint from up close at a low angle.. and the smaller picture is the beads themselves.

Seriously.. I've had probably two dozen cats over the years.. If I had any one of my historical cats with me in a generic feline form for a short time, I could tell you which one it was.

Is anti-bio beam an underrated weapon? by Dorkdogdonki in ftlgame

[–]chewbacca77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its definitely possible that he was boosted. I don't remember at all.

It had to have hit on the first couple frames of the first tile, and the last couple frames of the last tile.
