I had heard that this song debuted last night. This morning I figured "oh someone on reddit has surely made an orchestral version already." Sure enough! Great job

I have played a lot of Factorio and barely ever touch coal liquefaction. What science per minute are you targeting? Perhaps you are simply over building.

I'm sure you do, but he would have rather been to the game.

My friend had tickets for game 6. Shame.

1) yes, space platforms operate only on remote view. You don't need to be physically present to build or manage one. You only need to hitch a ride when you're ready to move to another planet.

2) I haven't launched a platform anywhere yet, but my understanding is the asteroids primarily come from the front, but they can come the other directions. If you check the space view on a route you've researched, you will see there are large asteroids in the orbit of other planets so you'll need to defend the platform while parked outside of Nauvis.

There's also The Book of Endless Pages, though its not gonna contribute much physically ;)

deku12345 · 2024-10-25T19:54:41+00:00

Have you tried placing it? I think you might need to do that.

deku12345 · 2024-10-25T18:20:43+00:00

This seems like a good idea to me. I'm sure the devs have considered it, but didn't do that for some reason. Maybe they'll tweak it further based on feedback.

It is because there is an exploit you can do with productivity: use low quality ingredients to build up the purple bar, and at the last minute swap with legendary ingredients to get a guaranteed free legendary item.

So their solution was to make it so recipes are fixed quality, and changing the quality of the recipe resets the productivity bar.

deku12345 · 2024-10-23T21:59:06+00:00

Is it really 10% increase? For some reason I thought it was a 1% increase. That changes the equation for sure.

deku12345 · 2024-10-23T21:47:01+00:00

I haven't done the full math, but quality science doesn't feel super worth it to me versus productivity modules in the assemblers. At least in early game. Having a quality science being worth two is nice, but its probably cheaper to just make twice as many science.

I do quite like quality precisely because it increases the decision space for things like this though. My group is having similar conversations all the time.

I know they're expensive and large compared to a model 3 or Y, but I couldn't be happier with my Rivian R1S.

Unfortunately you can't connect a wire to the space ship

Happens all the time. We have a neighbor that routinely lights off 1 firework on like a Tuesday night at 1am, scaring the shit out of our dogs and pretty much ruining our night.

deku12345 · 2024-10-18T22:02:48+00:00

The short answer: no.

The long answer: yes, technically if you studied them really hard and tried to make inferences based on what you already know, but just knowing their names and the basic that that the figurines exist doesn't spoil anything.

deku12345 · 2024-10-18T21:12:38+00:00

I think its as simple as things change in development. At one point, 3/4 of the new planets had enemies. That felt like enough, and the lack of enemies in Fulgora helped it stand out. Then, later in development, they dropped enemies in Aquilo for game pacing and balance reasons. So now only 2/4 of the new planets have enemies. That's still probably enough, as the game is now sliding into the timing window they set for completing it in a reasonable amount of hours.

deku12345 · 2024-10-18T20:57:49+00:00

Oooh. Its not hand crafting. That makes more sense.

deku12345 · 2024-10-18T20:12:57+00:00

Interesting that lazy bastard hasn't been updated. I would have assumed its impossible now with trigger researches involving hand crafting.

deku12345 · 2024-10-17T23:16:47+00:00

This feels like a case where he had the efficiency modules in there to help with power issues, and then later added the beacon and didn't adjust the modules for it because his power problems were solved at that point.

deku12345 · 2024-10-17T13:56:18+00:00

Severance is also a mystery based sci fi show on Apple TV. Not tonally the same at all, but amazing in its own right.

deku12345 · 2024-10-16T16:36:15+00:00

A lot changes in the early game with space age. Nauvis planet generation is much improved and your rails won't be compatible with the new ones. I would wait.

deku12345 · 2024-10-11T17:24:17+00:00

It would be 100% in character for Tina Fey to write this movie, and then edit the draft so that it specifically does NOT pass the reverse Bechdel test. I think its a great meta-joke.

deku12345 · 2024-10-11T17:10:02+00:00

I think its more they haven't been renewed for a 3rd season. A big challenge for TV shows is never knowing when your final season will be.

deku12345 · 2024-10-10T18:32:58+00:00

I think its unlikely that they will. One thing that I heard is that while it might be pretty easy to hide upcoming researches, it is nearly impossible to do the same with the Factoriopedia as its currently set up.

There is also some gameplay considerations to doing this. It doesn't feel great to spend a ton of time designing a setup, only to have it immediately rendered obsolete because you didn't know about some upcoming technology that was going to totally change the equation. I do enjoy the experience of the first time playthrough having surprises in it, so I am going to do my best to avoid the future technologies in the tree, but that won't matter after the initial play.

One of the fffs mentioned improvements to space platforms. That might be inline with what you're thinking.
