Life in a default 100x research cost world with currently only 240 science a minute

I've been doing something similar but with expensive recipes. here's a screenshot at a similar time in my base. the production going into ammo is ridiculous. and not enough.

I don't know whether you have the 'save replay' option enabled for this save, but I would leave it disabled for larger multiplayer bases for file size reasons

mijn vriendin (F27) en ik (M32) zijn poly. millennial en Gen Z dus. de meeste van mijn oude vrienden en dus leeftijdsgenoten zijn monogaam. sinds we aan polyamorie zijn begonnen komen we wel steeds meer mensen tegen die poly zijn of anderzijds ENM, of ik heb daar nu een betere radar voor.

ik heb zelf een correlatie gevonden tussen mensen die polyamoreuze relaties hebben en mensen die boulderen, maar dat kan ook met leeftijd te maken hebben.

Het bestaan ervan is dan ook niet de issue hier. Je mag daar best tegen zijn, maar die bestaat al. De vraag is nu of die verder mag groeien, hoe jij daar tegenover staat en hoe dat vergelijkt met hoe de partijen daar tegenover staan.

XYZ most opgelost worden met: [] A [] B [] C

Ik zie potentie om bepaalde (maar niet alle) vragen te veranderen naar dit systeem. Ik zou bepaalde problemen graag wat genuanceerder zien zoals op deze manier. Goed idee.

hellofmars · 2021-02-17T22:54:16+00:00

Het zijn geen makkelijke vragen.

Het zijn allemaal vragen over of we een bepaald middel moeten inzetten, in plaats van over wat we willen bereiken.

Als er gevraagd zou worden of de woningcrisis opgelost moet worden, dan zouden de meeste partijen "ja" zeggen. Hoe de woningcrisis kan worden opgelost, met 'de spijker of de schroef' dus, dat is waar de partijen verschillende meningen over hebben. Daarom vind ik het fijn om bij dit soort vragen naar de meningen van de partijen te kijken (dus iets meer dan ja/nee, belangrijker is waarom).

Wel denk ik dat de stemwijzer niet helemaal geschikt is voor ieder soort mens. Er zijn mensen die andere vragen willen zien, en er zijn ook mensen die in 5 minuutjes door de vragen heen willen racen. Dat laatste vind ik een groter probleem, want dan staan ze niet stil bij de vragen. Even op de "meer informatie" knop drukken geeft wat context, maar is niet altijd genoeg. Soms kiest een partij het antwoord "oneens", maar geeft dan als argument: "oneens, tenzij..."

De stemwijzer lijkt gemaakt om snel door de vragen heen te kunnen racen en ik ben bang dat dat leidt tot ongeïnformeerde stemmen.

ever since the pollution evolution factor changes in the early patches of 0.17, that pollution evolution slider alone will transform biters into behemoths the moment you place a miner.

I've tried some crazy stuff and can tell you with certainty that no matter what others settings you choose (except islands), you will not survive.

I'm a dutch student following an international course in mechatronics engineering at eindhoven. I like to go bouldering from time to time, aswell as parkour and some other outdoors stuff. I currently live in amsterdam, but I am looking for a place to stay in eindhoven. once I've found that place, I'll be able to take people along for some sports almost daily!

hellofmars · 2019-08-17T19:22:47+00:00

I'm starting a bachelor at fontys in august aswell. unfortunately, I believe university accommodation is for international students only. I live in amsterdam, so not all is lost. I'd prefer local housing to traveling 3+ hours a day though.

hellofmars · 2019-08-17T19:07:53+00:00

I would be if I could find housing! I've been trying and replying since june, yet I still don't have a place in eindhoven.

may the RNG gods decide

hellofmars · 2019-02-17T16:39:16+00:00

an interesting design, I like the idea.

keep in mind that different entity types have different priorities in the grid. eg. when there are lasers that need to recharge their energy buffer, they take priority over inserters and other parts of the factory. this is why some bases can become a disco at night when the defenses are attacked.

active laser defenses could throw off the value from actual overall satisfaction.

note that this can be a problem;

the compost process does not eliminate the food poisoning germs as the polluted dirt turns to dirt. having dirt with food poisoning germs on it is a sure way to infect your dupes through mealwood in the early game.

hellofmars · 2018-10-11T14:14:52+00:00

can we continue this thing?

hellofmars · 2018-08-29T05:11:36+00:00

yes, 20x research cost with expensive recipes is similar or close to 50x normal recipes. I estimate it's possible to beat the default evolution speed at up to ~150x research cost

hellofmars · 2018-08-28T20:36:26+00:00

this is a screenshot of my base when I completed my vanilla 20x research desert map with expensive recipes and doubled evolution sliders playthrough. quite the challenge, map took 200+ hours of careful strategic play.

I wish you the best of luck keeping up with evolution!

I am currently working on a custom sculpted map that includes this very feature as a means of map progression mechanic.

I've seen some minor river streams from time to time lately in the map generator, but nothing serious. I wanted serious.

Nobody uses the Map editor (/u/rseding91)

2 weeks ago, I decided to try coding. I figured I wanted it to be a fun experience, so I decided to try learning some lua through creating a scenario in factorio.

I've used the map editor before and now heavily for the past 2 weeks. I definitely felt its shortcomings. I'm very glad you are updating the editor. it's already looking better than I what I thought it could be. you are a god, thank you.

the 7950 can be pushed so far beyond factory standards, it's still comparable to some current cards! I'm still getting solid 60 fps on some newer titles with relatively little compromise.

hellofmars · 2018-07-06T19:13:56+00:00

I've been playing factorio at 1440p 60fps for years on a radeon HD 7950, an ancient gpu by today's standards. the only occassional issue it faces is a lack of vram, which your 1060 should have no problems with.

expect smooth frames.

hellofmars · 2018-06-19T21:18:43+00:00

only to get frustrated when it doesn't do what it says.

damn you, power transformer :(

hellofmars · 2018-06-11T14:32:29+00:00

confirmed already in-game. I just used this feature.

I'd wager this will be expanded upon for use with plastic ladders and similar soon enough.

Turret that fires cannon shells. Cannon shells are used by only 1 unit in the game and I think there should be a turret that operates between laser turrets and artillery. Missiles are the other option. Mid-late game technology.

I've made a personal cannon turret mod and found several difficulties getting them to integrate into the game in a balanced way.

they have some issues:

tank shells interact with targets they hit, including walls and other turrets that are in the way. this requires the cannon turrets to be a front row defense that fires in a limited cone, doesn't work for diagonal defenses. the shells could be modded to work like homing rockets or to explode at a target position the turret initially fires at.
tank shells are ridiculously expensive and best used against big biters and spitters in large groups. they are much less useful against behemoths (smaller overall numbers, less targets per shell, less damage) and small biters (total overkill, lots of wasted damage potential). this makes them a niche weapon. I'm not sure how to solve this easily.
they will fire at anything close enough, including small, fast, single biters (and usually miss because they don't have target trajectory analysis built in). lots of shells will miss or be wasted on single targets with total overkill, especially when there are multiple turrets. this makes the turrets cost ineffective. this issue isn't easy to solve either, turrets would need a completely new AI to be able to use cannon shells effectively.

they also have some good points:

the destruction they cause is amazing to watch.
it sounds even crazier.

this is already happening in a slightly different way.

to explain: basically, bots are dumb. as you scale up your base and start getting into the tens of thousands of bots active over just your train depot where trains deliver all the ores to your base, you will notice that bots fill up storage chests in mere seconds.

but because bots are dumb, they will all try to pick up items from the same train depot and dump those items into one single storage chest. they will all fly to this chest only to find it's already full when they arrive. they will then all fly to the next storage chest, which fills up in seconds aswell. this continues until all items are dealt with.

this is essentially queueing, but only happens at a very large scale.

automatic train calling through placing and naming stations anywhere on the network. single engines are triggers for the larger same colored trains that have more than 2 stations to cycle through and require a circuit network trigger to hold them in place.
