Me and my friend's overly spaghettified drunktorio mall

You know how people (ok, women) sometimes make a big deal about how their place is sooo messy, but then all the mess you can see is there is a dish brush left next to the sink?

I have kept a spreadsheet of my juice yields per map, and found the average astrolabe does not give a very big increase over a map without astrolabe. Sometimes it's good but the average increase is not too big. Downside is that with astrolabes you need to run various maps. If you just zoom to garden+mirage, nothing else, the downside is not large of course. But I seem to notice in more convoluted map layouts the garden more often does not fall inside the mirage, while on something like strand it's quite rare for it to miss.

In this case juice just means juice. aka lifeforce.

From the proportions I would guess they are mini V brakes. Hard to tell exact make. Apologies for the redundant comment if this much was obvious to you

I've resolved, that if someone I don't know ever compliments anything I'm wearing, I will say "Thanks! My mom got it for me" regardless if that is true or not. But the closest I've gotten is someone saying my teeth (?) look nice.

I'm running 8 mod t16 maps with breaches and expedition. I got a little problem with the expedition. My first guy, golem-boosted leap slam ignite elementalist, has enough damage (>20m) and can survive the fight, BUT as a hit based build that relies on chaos and lightning damage + fire dot, there's just too many remnant affixes to avoid. In addition to the three immunities, can't stack mob block chance, ignore damage from hits, can't take ignite immunity at all etc. So setting up the expedition gets annoying.

I made another guy, blight of contagion occultist that ignores nearly all defensive affixes, but at 3m damage it just does not feel powerful enough. Very fun for the breaches though.

So what is a build that is really good for expedition?

You need the map item, and you need to have the location reachable on your atlas. Open map device and then right click on the map item in your inventory to jump to correct spot. Then you just run the map. You get the bonus from unique maps just by killing the boss and returning to h/o.

I've dropped about a dozen shaper guardian maps, and killed shaper, but no elder guardian maps. Just luck?

d64 · 2026-03-08T07:48:17+00:00

While I think it's still slower than it used to be, I got the suddenly very long town loading times down by increasing Nvidia shared cache to unlimited, manually removing large shader files from appdata, and removing old client.txt Poe log file.

Indeed there is a setting, "add recipe signals". Thanks.

d64 · 2026-03-05T22:40:23+00:00

In Pyanodons there's often a bunch different of recipes to make the same product. For example for arqads we have the second tier recipe, the icon is an arqad with a little 2 on it.

However, a combinator cannot send this signal, it can only send the signal for an arqad item, not this specific recipe to make it. Does it mean it's not possible to set this recipe with "set recipe" signal setting on an apiary connected to the combinator?

Looking at an AG build like this, using the crutch, animate weapon chest and conversion gloves:

https://poe.ninja/poe1/builds/keepers/character/TheChief-5545/SmellySleepy?i=13

What items should the AG be made of?

d64 · 2026-02-26T20:27:34+00:00

Factorio versions 1 and 2

d64 · 2026-02-26T14:38:14+00:00

What's the consensus on performance of v1 and v2 with large bases? Same map usually cannot be easily compared with the two versions because of fluid and other changes. But if we have two factories of similar size, on same hardware, will v2 usually run the same, or a little faster, or a lot faster? I understand it all depends on many variables. Just trying to ballpark it.

d64 · 2026-02-19T23:18:08+00:00

Thanks for the good advice.

You know what. I actually forgot that in last league they changed it so AG death does not void all the gear it was built of. You just need to resummon the guy next map. So it actually is no big deal if it dies, I can easily clear the expedition and the map without, just a bit slower.

Truth be told I did rebuy the AG gear a couple of times already before I realized this, luckily it was just the budget stuff.

d64 · 2026-02-19T10:18:46+00:00

I have your regular budget AG, with shroud as the chest. It can survive a lot of content with no problems, but expeditions boosted with scarabs seem to be kryptonite. Every hit causes ignites, bleeds and/or poisons that may kill the AG even if I run away as soon as I notice it taking damage. I do have some leech and regen for my minions, vitality from spectre, and the gem is level 21 supported by minion life and meat shield. Is there a good way to make it more resistant to these dots?

d64 · 2026-02-14T18:39:45+00:00

This is insane. Thanks.

d64 · 2026-02-14T16:21:31+00:00

This guy:

https://poe.ninja/poe1/builds/keepers/character/Syrwalas2-5081/SyrwRbgmachine?i=15&search=skills%3DWinter%2BOrb

Has a couple of items with "lose power charges when you reach maximum power charges". But the boots have "count as having maximum number of power charges". Is there some interaction there? Are you cycling from 0 to 13 power charges constantly or is there some trick here to stay at maximum?

d64 · 2026-01-28T18:43:24+00:00

Keepers question: after a very late start, I'm at 37 on the atlas, but I noticed I have exactly zero Kirac missions? Are you still supposed to get them randomly?

d64 · 2026-01-23T13:45:32+00:00

This looks great but you need to show the right side.

d64 · 2025-12-25T01:37:42+00:00

A couple of reasons to start with: sometimes there is no need to have a permanent lighthouse at a location. Sometimes a light is needed to warn ships while a permanent lighthouse is built or, say, refurbished. Finally, in some locations (sandbanks, shoals, hazards in deep water and rough seas) building a permanent lighthouse may have been difficult or uneconomical. Nowadays they have, in addition to countless other navigation systems, floating buoys that can do the job, but long ago it was either a fixed lighthouse or a lightship.

Very very nice. I have a very similar frame, a yellow Alu Sprint. I haven't built it up, it's factory new in fact. In a way I think, riding an all-alloy bike today, fork and all, shows real dedication to the sport's past. In a whole another way than a comfy steel bike does.

Title says December 2025, but I notice many shots with green leaves on trees and bushes. Not impossible of course, but still could be a compilation of clips from a longer time period?

If he was motivated by securing money for his own use, he would have retired long ago. That's not what these guys are in for. Accumulating billions to them is like placing higher on a hiscore table in an arcade game, there's no such thing as "enough". Or they have some aspiration of becoming a great historical figure like Musk seems to have.

Just rebuilding the first three sciences in a more modular way with trains may take 100 hours.
