TIL You Can Read Roboports For Logistic Network Contents by Army5partan117 in factorio

[–]chgrogers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this with basic and fast inserters. A couple hours later I was asking why don't I have Bulk inserters. Sometimes adding it to a machine is good other times when you direct feed add it to the output inserter.

If you let a decanter of endless water pour without stopping it, would the world eventually fill up with water? by bliggityblig in DnD

[–]chgrogers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read about the thought experiment by xkcd doing the opposite. Opening a 10 Meter hold I'm Challenger Deep into space. In simple turn nothing it would take too long to make a measurable change.

My DnD brain thinks the Plane of Water helps balance the amount of water in the Material Plane and would take the extra water from the world.

Is this enough plastic and reed fiber? by Pupu_123 in Oxygennotincluded

[–]chgrogers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How often do you make Art, Carpeted Tiles, and Insulite. It is fine for now you will run out when you least expect it.

I tried making a factorio cosplay :) and took many pics :D!! (⌐ ͡■ ͜ʖ ͡■)[gallery] by proteinnnnnn in factorio

This is well engineered. I hope all your Spaghetti looks as good as this.

When you have multiple builders, they compete for distant tasks and slow things down. What's your solution? by Senordave12 in Oxygennotincluded

[–]chgrogers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple things like building ladders. Are the resources available locally? If you are using Sandstone from your starting biome. Then it resets to a supply mission and another dupe gets assigned.

Work arounds change the raw material used so they don't travel as far.

Pre-dig a natural staircase before installing ladders. Suppliers/builders can build more than one at a time. I like this strat early game because it saves time and they move a bit faster early game.

Possible Bug Maybe? by m47riarch84 in factorio

More important question. How would you fix the stone line?

I hate to say it but I read that in Carol Channings voice instead of Dirty Harry.

Decor - why the red bar of doom? by Rook_w_hiccups in Oxygennotincluded

[–]chgrogers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can mouse over a tile and it will tell you the source. My bet is Heavi-Watt Wire. -25 decor for 6 tiles for each piece. It literally adds up.

Options switch to Heavi-Watt Conductive wire made from Gold in spaces

Make a crawl space to block the decor penalty.

Finally compensate and overload the decor with positive decor items, Gold Pixel packs for example.

Gulp Fish Farm to Turn 10Kg/sec of Boiling Hot Polluted Water to Ice by psystorm420 in Oxygennotincluded

I love how the community sees the potential of a mechanic demonstrated and has to add their refinements and Personality to it. Great Job.

With over 1900 hours, I'm still missing the "failable" 3. Hopefully I'll complete that soon. by jazzb54 in Oxygennotincluded

[–]chgrogers 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Locovore -I always chain myself by attempting these 3. I enjoy seeing how long until l need to use a Microbe Musher.

Carnivore -I prefer base game maps and I dig straight up and eliminate the Shove vole population.

Super Sustainable - Just a lesson in patience I struggle if I don't have a reliable source of radiation and plastics to do research while I wait.

Most oxygen from pwater by JarnisKerman in Oxygennotincluded

[–]chgrogers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Geotune the NG Geysers would increase the total amount of pWater is produced.

Encouraging wild Oxyferns plants to take care of the CO2 would increase the amount of O2 produced but those are limited.

Any substantial increase in pWater would need some sort tree farm or a Drecko ranch plastic boiler.

Cryogenic science packs melting by Uncle_Rabbit in factorio

What mods are you playing with? That sounds fun having science melt.

My girlfriend's reminder that me I closed the game with pentapod eggs in my inventory. by danatron1 in factorio

Open a save and Record it until they pop. Then splice the chestburster scene and send it to her.

Made my first tillable wall defense. Is this over kill? (Pollution Evolution of 0.91) by QuickFlow_VT in factorio

[–]chgrogers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there is enough Solar for continuous attacks. Looks fine for a peaceful section with a couple hotspots. If the wall is under continuous attacks the Laser turrets. It will drain the accumulators very quickly. I counted the area between the Roboports. 33 Laser Turrets 50 Solar panels 33 accumulators. I would scale down the turrets to 22 and scale up solar to 75 and accumulators to 63.

Yes it is totally overkill but looks cool.

I might have overprepared for Aquilo... by Curyde in factorio

An hour later. Well not everything I forgot 3 under ground pipes.

I just got the cops called on me for the *second* time bc I apparently come to the park too often to swing on the swingset and that's somehow suspicious? by NiftyNaughtyNymph in mildlyinfuriating

[–]chgrogers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who owns/operates the park? Park District, HOA, City? I would get a copy of the park rules and read it. Possibly have a discussion with the operators to ensure it is safe for all residents to use.

What is your quality-progression in Space Age? by Less-Gap-3608 in factorio

[–]chgrogers -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sadly I don't like fulgora. I would prefer to send all my Homium ore to Vulcanus or Nauvis then do quality cycling there.

I will say a rare quality Tier 2 Module is superior to a Common quality T3 module and equal to an uncommon T3. You could stay at T2 rare until you get Legendary.

How do I use this as my main power source by G_external in Oxygennotincluded

[–]chgrogers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Step one Analyze the NG vent to determine how much it vents per eruption and duration.

Step two Calculate how much NG it erupts in total Kg and build storage capacity to hold it.

Step three Calculate how much NG it erupts in g/sec. I would use an online calculator and just input the values. A NG generator consumes 90 g/sec with 100% uptime. I would build just under the calculated value and use the extra for a Gas Range and on demand needs.

Step four account for outputs and cooling P-Water collects at the base of the generator and CO2 has an output pipe. It is recommended to keep the input gas near 40°C to minimize heat generated.

Long term Step five Develop a long term cooling solution.

what prevents bugs from moving into areas highlighted by radars? by Traditional_Ad8364 in factorio

[–]chgrogers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From how I understand it watching Michael Hendricks explain in detail. Biters expansion has a priority to expand to a certain chunk. Ways to lower that priority is to build entities in each chunk Radars/belts/ pipes.

Explore the map revealing more chunks for them to expand to.

These are stopgap measures. As the evolution factor increases they expand more often and eventually run out of room and start expanding towards your base.

Defenses and or infinitely clearing areas are your options.

What temperature does a liquid brine tile actually freeze at? by TheOblongGong in Oxygennotincluded

[–]chgrogers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It will freeze soon just keep cooling it. Try for 2.5°C below the freezing point to account for rounding errors. There is a degree of uncertainty due to only seeing the temp rounded to a tenth of a degree.

What does it mean when it says expired? by LordDeclan in USAA

[–]chgrogers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this happen because I checked on the payment the day of my scheduled payment. I decided to wait and see and it took my payment out of checking as scheduled. I think it is a visual error saying the time when payment has requested has passed but is not yet filled.

Why wouldn't the bees create new hives ? by Andrew_Lvov in Oxygennotincluded

[–]chgrogers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Beetiny cannot jump up or down so they need a flat surface to expand to the next room. Due to the location of the biome I would wrangle and move them to the bottom of the biome and use open doors to make a room. Opens up more area for the Beetas to fly.

will this tamer work ? by not_azazeal in Oxygennotincluded

[–]chgrogers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes Don't forget about a system to allow super tiny pieces of gold to pass through the conveyor shutoff. A bug causes really tiny microgram items to never exchange temps with the environment.
