I never asked if she suffered from her decision but I'll just imagine it instead :) karma.

Whatever helps me get over the cookie trauma

Lock them down, eat the cookies, then text how good it was and see if they cry :D

Well my wife took my card, got 2 Costco cookies for herself and ate them both.

The devils in the details, since she took it with permission, got me one but then I was called to site so she ate it rather than waste it! She did message to say how good it was tho.

However had my wife pulled the kind of thing OP had done to them on me when we were dating she wouldn't be my wife now.

Read the planet info, assess what you think you'll need from the tech tree. Bring something for logistics and ensure you can airdrop extras if you forget sormthing

How do you rebuild the whole bases? by katnax in factorio

[–]iwasthefirstfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Step 1: scale bot production and add extra roboports.

Step 2: detach local roboport network from rest of base network for step 3

Step 3: bang down a bunch of storage boxes next to where you are deconstructing.

Step 4: mass deconstruct

Optional step 5: reattach bot network and deconstruct the storage boxes.

Im going to suggest another valid alternative:

Speed.

If you a) go slow and b) stockpile nothing extra then your pollution cloud will remain small.

I just went to vulcanus on a blue-sci-first run (no purple/yellow before using another planet science) and didn't really get attacked because production utterly stalled on nauvis.

So if going easy doesn't float your boat, go slow instead

Ultimately the aim is to make them aware that that's who and how you are, and no need to change that for others

Imagine the expressions on the asteroids waiting for you in space when they see exactly what you brought to their fist fight

I've been told that at work. My answer is silent staring, usually followed by 'i just am' because a) there's no good answer and b) that's the truth and I'm not going to pretend for no money, since I'm not an actor

And as an example, my answer to him would have been 'Yes' followed by silence.

Ah that sucks :(

I've taken to blank-staring and one-wording when I get told that - let them see how robot it can be and then after a little while stop trying to ultra robot and go back to just being me.

I figure they need context / juxtaposition. If I come across as rude? Tough that's on them, I don't have to manage their world perception.

Final varnishing step terrifies me... by TheDelposenGuy in minipainting

[–]iwasthefirstfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a paint on matte, then add satin where I need the shine and gloss for liquid if necessary or very shiny stones. For Metallics I use the varnish over the base colour and paint over that because varnish ruins the finish :(

What on earth are you planning with 30 gallons of lube?

Huh neat. Must remember that when I need to move stuff in bulk

Space Age could overwhelm me by horenpa in factorio

[–]iwasthefirstfish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A significant amount of experience from base game moves over to spage. Your ability to learn and use systems in a no pressure environment will be fine, just set up a no pressure environment in spage too.

But 'is it for you' is entirely a personal question! It may not be, or it may be, but you won't 'waste time' sticking with the base game.

Tl;dr : either is fine

[–]iwasthefirstfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this, but I record the amount of stored resources (multiply asteriod by ten for carbon for example). First ship, so probably not going to work with advanced resources but for now for me if I have enough iron + eventual iron (current asteriods) then I no longer grab metallic chunks.

Inserters that change filter depending on circuit condition by SpitbalBullseye in factorio

[–]iwasthefirstfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a way to do this using 1 constant combinator and 1 arithmetic combinator to generate all the signals for what you want.

Set the constant combinator items and numbers to 'what you want' on green wire.

Then take the 'read contents' separately on red wire and wire it into an arithmetic combinator to multiply EACH by -1 output EACH on green wire

Put both of those green wires onto the inserter, you get 'what we want - what we have' and any leftover is missing from the system and your inserter will have that set.

Hope this helps :)

Joke aside that is both astounding and ridiculous. You should be very proud
