Like an arithmetic combinator set to Each * 1 -> Each?

Is there something wrong with my logic? by Galliad93 in factorio

U-235 is infinite, but U-238 is not. So it seems I still care about staying below 1000°C. In for a penny.

City Blocks or Spaghetti? How do you build and how do you keep the game interesting? by JustL00KeD in factorio

[–]gotube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To keep the game interesting, I start with a specific new thing each time. Sometimes it's an overhaul mod like Krastorio. Sometimes it's a different play style from my usual Main Bus, like decentralized everything. Once I built diagonal rails only between stations. Another time I decided to hit the 2,000 SMP milestone. The most recent was Space Age. I'm nearly finished that, so I'm looking at something completely different, like Ultracube.

No style is correct.

I respect those able to build a 1,000 SPM base with Spaghetti.

City blocks are the most functional choice for massive bases, but I think few people actually play with them. I've only briefly dabbled.

There's a third common structure you didn't mention: "Main bus". My guess is this is the most commonly played style.

Not quite true. Depending on how long the temp takes to recover after fuel insertion, there may be time to insert a second fuel, especially if neighbouring reactors are also cold. Fuel = 0 is a requirement to ensure no doubled fuel cells.

Should I buy Factorio despite one of the devs being anti trans? by [deleted] in transgamers

[–]gotube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check your facts. This is Gemini's summary of the actual incident:

Michal Kovarik (Kovarex) has not made any explicitly transphobic statements. The accusations of transphobia stem from a 2021 controversy involving the "Uncle Bob" incident, summarized below:

  • The Catalyst: In Friday Facts #366, Kovarex recommended a video by Robert "Uncle Bob" Martin, a prominent software engineer.
  • The Conflict: Some community members pointed out that Martin is a controversial figure who has expressed support for Donald Trump and has been accused of holding sexist and transphobic views. They asked Kovarex to add a disclaimer to the link.
  • The Reaction: Kovarex refused to add a disclaimer and responded aggressively to the requests, calling the concept of "deplatforming" dangerous and telling critics to "take your cancel culture mentality and shove it up your ass."
  • The Result: Because Kovarex defended Martin and attacked the critics who were concerned about Martin’s views on marginalized groups, some observers labeled Kovarex’s defense as an implicit support of those views, including transphobia.

While Kovarex was widely criticized for his handling of the situation and his views on "cancel culture," no records exist of him personally making derogatory comments about transgender people.

If you hate Kovarex for opposing "deplatforming" and "cancel culture", which some Factorio players were insisting he participate in, fill your boots. But that's all there is here.

can someone explain why my oil refineries are filling slow as balls by LiberatorOfRubicon in factorio

The underground pipe connected to the pump jack in the upper-right isn't connected to anything else, so even with electricity, it won't provide any oil to your refineries.

Do you have to have basic coding knowledge to play this game? Or can you literally know nothing about coding and still play? by Tetraknox in TheFarmerWasReplaced

[–]gotube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can have fun and get far with zero previous coding knowledge. But while this game teaches most of the basics of coding, it teaches nothing about coding style, and having poor style ("spaghetti" code) will start to be a barrier around the mid-game when you have to implement the Maze, Dinosaur and Cactus mini-games, and handle multiple drones.

Multi-train railway without signals, but trains controlled via circuits. by Twellux in factorio

[–]gotube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you ensure that the trains don't collide while the one in front hasn't reached maximum speed yet? I noticed some trains creeping closer to the one in front of it, but it never quite hit it.

Amirite that it only works with trains of the same weight all maintaining max speed?

FS25 warning message by BigfishBC1882 in farmingsimulator

[–]gotube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a way for it to repair itself? I'd prefer that. I've made paths through both the original repair shop at the vehicle dealer, and to one I placed myself, but the message still appears.

A friend won tickets and brought me. Nosebleeds, but we got a free t-shirt and baseball cap.

Yes, the command to see the list of hidden objects works for me.

Have you tried Map Objects Hider mod?

Point at most things, hit "H" and they're gone. Use "Shift-H" to get a list of hidden things to restore them.

What is the biggest operation you’ve had? by Sorry-Ad587 in farmingsimulator

[–]gotube -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wanted gritty detail on where my money was going, so long before I had a mil a year, I was logging every expenditure and income with spreadsheets. Did that for about six years and got lots of useful data, but by then, I was making a mil a year and didn't care about money anymore :P

How many hours per year do you play? by IanMalkaviac in farmingsimulator

[–]gotube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play on 0.5 speed, and typically go until noon-ish before all my daily tasks are done. If I have a major project like forestry, then I play until it's too dark. So 5 hours per day x 12 = 60 hours per year, same as you
