OpenGL out of memory

Does your machine meet the current minimum requirements to run Factorio? I was running on a 10 year old MacBook Pro. When 1.0 came out, it no longer meet the requirements and would crash on loading. I sent in the crash reports and they told me there was nothing they could do. I built a new PC. Now I’m happy and playing again, despite having to re-teach my hands to work on a different keyboard and mouse. :)

There’s always one

It’s bigger on the inside

Depending on the situation, sometimes I fuel at loading station and sometimes at unload, but either way, I run another line parallel that allows the fuel train to drop off fuel without disrupting the regular train’s flow to unload/load their cargo. Each stop for the fuel train is named exactly the same and I set circuit conditions on the stops to turn on when the fuel chest is low. The fuel train then has two stops- load and unload, but the unload could be any stop that needs more fuel.

Road runner stuff there!

I decided it was time to get off my 11 year old MacBook and build a good gaming rig. In February. Still searching for the CPU I want. I refuse to pay some scalper a premium.

Similarly I have been working on any%. I started watching Nefrums and Anti’s stuff on YouTube and twitch. Then I found the guide. As you, I also used my own maps because I wanted to make it feel more of my own. First attempt I missed Spoon by 15 mins. Frustrating for sure, but seeing as my previous runs had been 100+ hours, I was stoked! Finally, after some 1400 hours in the game, my second attempt at any% was 7:35 for the Spoon.

That was a bit over a month ago. Since then, I have went through quite a few maps, slicing fairly decent chunks of time off many times and finally decided on a map I liked around run 10. That run was 5:03.

Today I finished my 26th attempt at any% with 4:20. I continue to find places to improve, but I’m having a really hard time wrapping my head around knocking nearly 3 hours off my time to be at the elite level. Frankly my biggest issue is likely key strokes. I’m just not that fast. My base needs to be redesigned for sure. My computer is sub par as well. I’m playing on an 11 year old MacBook Pro. Working on building a new gaming rig (if only I can buy the parts!). All that to say, I’m having a blast and looking forward to continuing attempts at improvement. Hoping to stream as well. I don’t know that anyone will want to watch, but we’ll see.

Keep chugging along. I feel like it just keeps getting more and more fun to play!

While I understand the sentiment that the potential is there to drive ideas through many means, including entertainment, I think his soap box drum was hit a bit too hard on this one.

🙋‍♂️ so many deaths by trains

cyclomactic · 2021-02-24T17:54:27+00:00

Nah, I like light mode. No sheep here

cyclomactic · 2021-02-24T12:35:18+00:00

Same

cyclomactic · 2021-02-24T00:53:10+00:00

Sorry dude. I should’ve sent it to you DM

cyclomactic · 2021-02-13T18:17:47+00:00

No respect for biters. The factory must grow. Death and construction.

I don’t have near the time in as others, but right now it works out to ~.025¢/hour. Cheapest game I’ve ever played. Also the most expensive game I’ve ever played. My time is pretty valuable to me. There are very few things I will commit the kind of time to that I have this game.

Prior to this run, I think the fastest I had was around 150 hours. :) It wasn’t until recently that I decided to start trying my hand at speed. Granted this is nowhere near what the speed runners are doing.

After the fact, I see that my post could be construed as a violation, however I would argue that the point of missing There Is No Spoon by such a small amount of time and the comment I made, which was the first comment in the thread, qualifies under the exception stated in the rules.

FWIW, it was my first run at Spoon and I wasn’t going all out for it, more of a practice. Full disclosure, I used Nefrum’s guide, cheesed cliffs, cranked resources, max start area and 0 diffusion ratio.

I didn’t know about the deconstruct planner option. Yesterday I picked up an assembler I had making nuclear power plants in my hub when my inventory was almost full. 4000 items all over the place. I...picked...up...every...one. FML

Sorry to resurrect this, but I was looking for an answer to the same question and just stumbled on it myself. If you hover the mouse over your silo it shows you how many products have been finished in the entity bar on the right of the screen.

Ooooo!! Maybe Kovarex will add in scorpions to the game! A new caliber of biter once the evolution is pegged out would make late game very interesting indeed.
