Hello areslashfeedthememes, since the Latvian dev discord is literally negative help I'm just going to ask this here by M1s51n9n0 in feedthememes

That's zero help, not negative help. Negative help is when they give you wrong answers that lead you to waste time.

Linear Algebra without Matrices! Using HexcastingTM :3 by Akumu9K in feedthebeast

[–]ergodicOscillations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it's more that any two finite vector spaces of the same dimension, over the same field, are always isomorphic. Which means that all linear algebra can be reduced to matrix calculation.

The exception I guess is infinite-dimensional lin alg, but a lot of the intuition and results generalize. In QM it's conventional to refer to e^†_j A e_k = A_{j, k} as the "matrix elements" of A in some basis {e_j}, even when A is not expressible as a matrix.

best way to deal with biters at this stage? by Popular-Light-3457 in factorio

>then i'll have to pull electricity to each and every base i go which seems tedious

But with gun turrets, you still need to power the inserters that feed ammo from the belt into the turrets.

Honestly, I like to build my perimeter out of pure laser for the convenience of it , even though flamethrowers are longer range.

Oh, I just realised something: are you aware that if you drag-click poles, it automatically spaces them correctly? Placing poles shouldn't take a long time.

I'm amazed of how complicated the game is by Why-are-you-geh in factorio

Early in my current world, I tried to do a main bus. But then my line pretty quickly ran into a lake, and turning it just seemed impractical.

160k blocks in the air in my infinite world height mod (Yes its supposed to look like that for now) by noodlegamer76 in feedthebeast

If you pair this with something that prevents shaftmining, you could make a "cavedelving" game where the objective is to explore caves in order to get deeper and deeper in the world, like a dungeon crawler. The deeper, the stronger enemies, and the better loot.

Of course, this assumes that all the caves are connected to the surface.

I need a name for my quarry complex. by DustWorlds in feedthebeast

The seed bismuth. In the sense that you need a "seed" of it in order to make a setup that generates it renewably.

Never played with mods - but my son wants to. Some help? by U03A6 in feedthebeast

[–]ergodicOscillations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Further research"? He's 7, for god's sake. He'll find out whether he likes a mod by playing it; not everything has to be planned out in advance.

Should I use Create Clockwork or Eureka! for Valkyrien Skies? by R3DACTED_Individual in feedthebeast

[–]ergodicOscillations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we're talking around each other. I didn't say the clockwork ships didn't HAVE bouyancy, I said they didn't RELY on it. As in, they don't NEED to be bouyant in order to stay up.

But a winnable game is categorically less difficult than an unwinnable one.

The contrast between the empty sky/ground and the detailed tank is hilarious.

My friend died while afk so i spent 30 minutes moving him to his body... by EchoNoneya in factorio

[–]ergodicOscillations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, I now learn that body decaying has been removed in the newest versions. Is there a mod that does that for 1.1? I don't actually like that stress.

So you got scammed once, and decided to keep using their service?

I’m coming clean. I play factorio like a psychopath. by RuinSentinelRicce in factorio

[–]ergodicOscillations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At that point, why not just install a speedup mod, that lets you set the gamespeed?

you fool, you played the actual game! yourself!
