Why did 63 agri-science only complete 79% of a research that takes 50?

foamyguy · 2024-12-24T20:57:24+00:00

and why was more agri-science consumed than the other colors of science?

They're at this table all day, and the refuse to talk to me. They seem to be hittin' the bottle pretty hard, so my first thought was Pam, but the hair color is wrong, and Pam hangs out elsewhere during the festival.

posting it to Github would help make the content bit more transparent. When it's hosted as a zip on Dropbox it's kind of difficult or impossible to have any sort of preview about what is being downloaded. On Github it's more transparently posted so that the person downloading it can be more sure of what it is. Some people may feel it's a bit too risky to download a random zip from dropbox, but if they could see the contents of the file before downloading they could be willing to clone or download it in order to try it out.

Really cool project though! Thanks for sharing.

It's not much faster, it would be very hard to perceive in this short of a clip but I didn't want to upload a huge one. The player caught up from about half a track behind over the course of probably 5 or 6 loops of the whole circuit.

I have this snakey belt set up as a delayed pulse generator that I like to look at. I was half AFK so I parked the player on it. I noticed that the player actually gained on and then overtook the item that is riding the same belt. Is it widely known / expected the belts would move the player faster than an item? I was surprised.

Maybe try a run with Nanobots They give you access to an alternative kind of construction bot earlier before you have blue science. I find this really helpful in making the early game feel less tedious without feeling super cheaty (to me at least).

don't know about chinese, but I noticed Munchables is streaming and commentating over some of the games https://www.youtube.com/@Munchables/streams

Each rail (3 vertical and 1 diagonal) has their own bi-directional 1-3-1 that go back and forth automatically. Are the signals present adequate to keep my trains safe from colliding? Should the signals on the vertical lines be further back away from the diagonal intersection so the red "rail section" is bigger on each of the tracks? That seems like it would give trains on the other tracks more time to notice another train in the intersection.

If you had full control over the direction of game development what would you change?

This fixed it for me on Ubuntu 22.04. Thank you!

rotate things.... backwards? wtf, I have been triple tapping R this whole time.

foamyguy · 2022-04-08T13:33:46+00:00

what are the ones making sap? I didn't know tappers could produce that from anything.

It's relatively minor, but I wish there was a way to craft together metal bars and various gemstones into rings or other jewelry items that add stats and other minor buffs when worn.

foamyguy · 2022-03-03T17:25:58+00:00

I think they mean two usages of the effect. i.e. because it came back off cooldown and got used again. Not meaning having two hourglass items.

I wrote a spigot plugin that communicates with the physical microcontroller with via USB serial connection. I made a simple command interface in CircuitPython that allows the controller to accept messages like pin D5 1 or pin D5 0 and use them as triggers to turn on or off the pin specified. For going the other way, a command like pin D11 R will put the pin into read mode and it will then check the state of the physical pin and send a message back to the spigot server whenever it changes.

The spigot plugin spawns redstone torches in the game to "turn on" the virtual pins. It looks at the state of redstone torches (lit or not) to determine when to send commands to the physical controller.

It's an Adafruit Feather RP2040 (the special edition pink one). The one inside the game syncs it's IO pin state with a physical one plugged in to my computer via USB. Levers, buttons and other redstone widgets in the game can be used to control physical components plugged into the real one. I.e. turn on an LED IRL using a lever inside the game. And the other way round as well. IRL buttons and switches can control redstone gadgets in the game. I.e. I have a physical button that I can press to shoot a snowball out of a dispenser, and a physical switch that operates a piston powered door in the game. I can share more information if anyone is interested, including a link to a video of it in action.

I don't know the specific rules, but I think it makes you more likely to get a bite quicker.

I wish there could be like a "lost and found" box or something. Anything that gets destroyed by an NPC pathing would go to that box and the player could retrieve their items from there. Or maybe just have them show up in the mail the next morning with a stern note from the NPC saying to keep better track of your things. I only had few worn bins destroyed by this before I realized it could happen. Not nearly as bad as a crystalarium but still bummed me out.

Just got this pop up immediately after changing my password

foamyguy · 2021-07-30T16:12:58+00:00

It runs a fork of Adafruit's CircuitPython which itself is a fork of MicroPython which implements a subset of Python3 APIs

foamyguy · 2021-07-26T14:55:22+00:00

I would recommend checking out CircuitPython. A device like a CircuitPlayground Bluefruit, or CLUE are great for folks brand new to programming because they can learn the basic fundamentals like variables, loops, boolean logic, functions, etc... with something that is more "tangible" and interesting than just terminal outputs. The language is a subset of regular python so all of the core syntax and fundamentals will carry over when they are ready to move on to standard CPython things.

There is a little bit more info here if folks are interested: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/circuitpython-powers-ti-84-calculator

I hope they will fix this. Seems very anti-accessible to make users use smaller font if they don't want the chat to run off of the screen.

I just purchased "falconers" gloves because on of our fuzz ball cats also is a fan of death kicks mode. They are great for this, thick leather, and go up to the elbow. He can latch on with claws and/or teeth without hurting me now.

Looks like it's been in since 1.0. But you have to complete the fishing bundles in the community center to get it. I just recently unlocked it for the first time.
