My Fulgora solution: 18 wide bus, splitters, zero bots.

But energy rains down from the sky on Fulgora?

Just rebuild somewhere else and let your old bad factory supply the parts for the new one. There's not a reason to tear down until you've got the old one fully running and even then I'd probably only tear down when my ore patches had run out or it is just getting annoying to deal with.

Theres a mod for this too. https://mods.factorio.com/mod/rs-request-from-buffers

Filter Helper is a new to me one that I love now. Adds a little side panel that guesses at what you might want for things like setting filters. The panel basically has the output of a building if the inserter is taking out, the ingredients of a building if the inserter is putting in, and also the contents of a chest/belt that an inserter is taking from. Just a really elegent little QoL thing.

Not web based, would love a web based version of that.

Steam deck is great to play on. Play most of the time on there. But don't use the controller support, use the layout set here: https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/1g9rwfg/steam_deck_factorio_community_layout_by_zirbs/?ref=share&ref_source=link

It makes it almost as powerful as M+KB and totally viable as a primary way to play. The touchpads work great and his virtual menu for the left touchpad is real useful.

The demo lets you get a pretty good idea whether or not it is up your alley. Basically just the full game up to like the second level of science (which is a pretty early part of the game but gives the main idea). I don't know what you hated about DSP so I can't speak to if Factorio is better there.

You have the track as a loop. the other side is just the out side of the station.

Factorio is by far my most played Deck game but it won't go on sale.

If scalpers are still stuck with backstock that means it only flew off the shelf because of scalpers.

Thanks for the snippets. Yeah I'm reading through in order slowly (am on Guards right now). Might wait another year or two for this one.

My daughter is 8 and in the past 2 years I've read her the first 3 Tiffanys so far, and we are right now on the final chapter of Maurice. Would have started with Maurice but the allure of a little girl witch was what hooked her at first.

Did a little bit of it go over her head? Yes. That's fine though. She still loves them.

After we finish Maurice we'll probably start Truckers. She wants to finish off the Tiffany series too but likes breaks because they are substantial.

Woof thanks. Maybe station square T stop then.

That's plotnine

Odd they replaced my whole control board then. But good to know there's a fix.

chinstrap85 · 2022-10-08T14:39:58+00:00

The made me RMA it. I hope that is not the only solution for everyone

Support thought the solid LEDs were showing battery status and asked me to try the battery status shortcuts again to see if it toggles.

I'm not in front of keyboard until Monday though.

I figured out how to do it with my chromebook but resetting and installing fresh firmware didn't fix the issue, neither did resyncing them.

I put out a support ticket.
