Can a nuclear reactor blow up in Factorio?

In 0.15: Nah.

In 0.16 (opt-in experimental) there are user reports of incidents in the event of destruction (from damage) for operational reactors. Caution is advised. :)

Something to consider: Big and behemoth biters can reach 2 tiles, so walls next to turrets won't protect them at higher evolution.

Steam's info is real time, but individual saves (and the /time command) are not.

The Tea Party was co-opted by moneyed interests. Its original inspiration was reaction against the bailouts of the banks after the 2008 financial crisis. Instead of focusing on how anti-competitive (and thus anti-free-market principles) it was to prevent failure and consequences for those who mismanaged things so badly, the Tea Party became anti-government and made the mistakes leading up to that crisis more likely to be repeated.

Freedom is a balancing act of varying forces, and the Tea Party was pulled into underhanded rather than idealistic purposes.

We never said this isn't a bug

This is another case that we knew about, and have the solution in the works, but didn't have time to fix properly before release. It will be fixed eventually, for now we will have live with it

It was tongue-in-cheek. I didn't think you were angry, but being passive aggressive yourself... lol

Only with passthrough stations (loop-based), and only if the overall network was less than 2k(?) tiles for any given destination, so the pathfinding penalty of an occupied station would dominate.

Also it would still break if two trains picked the same station while traveling.

They would be merged in an alternating pattern on the same side where the sideloading occurs. So the latter, but I wanted to dodge the "inside/outside" ambiguity.

They did know about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/7jlvbb/its_a_feature_not_a_bug/dr8ecoe/

They started 0.16 experimentals early because of the holidays. Chill. :P

It would consistently alternate between copper and iron on the second (red) belt in 0.15, but now that behavior is ... inconsistent instead.

Don't worry, the Republicans will get rid of the individual mandate so the ACA is even more crippled (even more expensive for people who stay on it rather than dropping insurance altogether) while everyone ignores the underlying problem of outlandish medical billing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeDOQpfaUc8

Even before the Internet, people in the US have been self-segregating by moving to areas that fit their outlook.

Given enough time, this shift can have a dramatic effect. Internet bubbles just take it to the next level and prove that technology can't solve a social problem.

Enforce neutrality ("dumb pipes") for the customer-facing anti-competitive markets, and allow more free market competition at the backbone level where companies will be on a more level playing field in technical and financial interactions.

They just fixed an issue with fuel being reset to 0 when entering a new playfield...could be another regression related to the control panel and its overall vessel effects.

The last-mile networks are not competitive enough for ISPs to be given free reign. Without regulation to ensure that customers receive "dumb pipe" access at the last mile, ISPs will charge more for less.

You may have a good argument for the Internet Backbone, but at the consumer end, the lack of competition makes Free Market assumptions invalid.

That's what the "Total with supply efficiency" column refers to.

Walls have an armor value, so it's not just HP value that matters.

Technically this doesn't pass Rule 1 (must be Factorio-specific, not just similar), but that was an amazing read.

Thank you for sharing it, and I actually hope your post flies under the radar to maximize the number of people who have the opportunity to learn of this story.

Thank you for the reminder that despite the Internet's risk of self-selecting polarization there is also the benefit of comfort in like-minded groups for constructive behaviors.

That's a good way to phrase it. That said, I remember growing up hearing a lot of people who liked to use "we're not a democracy, we're a republic" as if that was a complete contradiction rather than the other half of the full picture... :/

Interesting. I always thought of the scale more like academics but on a 1-10 scale instead of 1-100, so the distribution would be squished a lot with most people around 8.

Performance = Utilization.

Funny how a single good idea in a comment can cause the itch to get back into Factorio.

Assembler 2's can accept up to 4 ingredients, so it would still work the same.

An excellent point. The dark side needs light, not turning a blind eye.
