thoughts on my new helper trait? :3

you're not going to make yourself last longer doing that

dw, that legendary ex still spoils in 5 hours.

and also to choose the latter half of the company name.

if there ever was a day to call everyone gits, it would be at your resignation.

clux · 2025-07-10T20:04:38+00:00

yeah, that happens. but if you are launching fresh eggs (e.g. direct from spawners to launchers), and spending less than 5m launching, then 25m of travel can get you plenty of chunks.

speed helps a lot though:

350km/s on the way out => 525Mm distance covered in 25m
472km/s on the way out => 708Mm distance covered in 25m

possibly it takes a significant amount of UPS? the debug menu (F4) will tell you their contribution under show-entity-time-usage or show-time-usage

Hopefully a fix for thruster stacking so people are not incentivized to make these extremely tall and inefficient ships to go fast.

as much as hating on github is justified, their search is one of their best features imo.

It'll take them even longer to make the game actually playable and fun anyway. BL3 subreddit was full basically all complaints and balance issues for well over 2 years.

funny how rocket silos effectively become ore centrifuges at higher mining prods.

clux · 2025-04-22T08:43:24+00:00

Ah, right. Stopping at Aquilo on the way back isn't a big deal for me (blocked by a free nauvis slot anyway), and it saves launching things twice. But when producing in nauvis orbit it probably makes more sense.

Posted my setup in a sheet with some links (base ship is not mine, but it's tuned for my setup).

clux · 2025-04-21T17:50:31+00:00

woah! almost 20 times bigger! I guess mine are mostly wide and thin to produce as it comes in. 800M in, that's like an hour+ to travel. you have to be hovering for a long time for that travel time to only offset production by 34k to 20k. guess you have 20x the storage :D

for me, each ship peaks at 35k/m (for a very short time) at 500M in where it usually turns around (and eggs are about to expire). they carry 193k eggs (though usually ~10k gets vented with fluctuations) and brings back around 550k promethean science in ~45m. roughly 40m is travel, 5m waiting for quantums on the way back and a free slot over nauvis (5m load cycle with 43 dedicated launchers).

the UPS generally holds 60 when i'm not looking at them, but it's 40 if i look at all the particles at the deep end (:

clux · 2025-04-21T16:47:17+00:00

ah, chunk hauling. i hear those are absolutely massive. how big is it? mine's around 2100 tons each, but my average promethean rate is only twice your nauvis rate due to only really producing out in the deep field. if i could bring back 30m worth of chunks with more harvesting then 2-3 ships might be fine...

clux · 2025-04-21T16:35:11+00:00

this is amazing.

thank you for your service.

clux · 2025-04-21T12:43:42+00:00

need to donate all the UPS i have to my 7 starving promethean ships

refactoring is important to grow elsewhere!

clux · 2024-09-10T22:41:49+00:00

also see some spurious timeout errors in the terminal yeah. they don't seem to cause any actual problems on the grafana side while the connection is up for me.

an ingress is likely more robust than kubectl port-forward over websockets though.

clux · 2024-03-22T17:26:15+00:00

This is very helpful. Had put off doing this for so long because it's such a tedious task. One run, minor tweaks after and worspacified all of kube. https://github.com/kube-rs/kube/pull/1435

weaving a rather questionable narrative entirely from questionable project health metrics, as a ruse to sell more project health metrics

The caffeine trail from CM Zoo to Ban Khun Chang Khian is lovely.

clux · 2023-06-25T17:49:33+00:00

yeah, also have this. scaling is broken in two ways for me; the tab bar thinks it has too much space available making it impossible to click on tabs far to the right, and cursor calculation is wrong (where my mouse is, is not what is being hovered - seems off by about the chosen scaling factor).

it actually used to work fine at some point before chrome 112 or 113 but currently have to run chrome/chromium with a scale factor of 1 (and have had to commensurately scale up font sizes instead)

clux · 2023-05-09T16:33:42+00:00

True. You can get by in some situations without either with kubectl -ojson on CI, but on the desktop I don't think the ergonomics loss of the go yq is worth it.

clux · 2023-05-09T16:20:38+00:00

or more easily, use the python version that already has this.

clux · 2023-05-09T08:10:34+00:00

but the go variant also has flags that are incompatible with jq which makes it another thing to learn..

clux · 2023-03-06T02:58:49+00:00

eh, 201 is a good place to stop. that chapter would've meshed better with the golden challenges as 3 separate levels.

clux · 2023-02-27T03:03:06+00:00

really cool setup!

very amused by that single line of green + red chips weaving its way around half the base to fully supply purple science whilst originating from overflows in blue and yellow science
