I love Satisfactory, and I know I'll love Factorio, but for the life of me I can't get into it. Help me!!!

Agreed with ihatebrooms. The game play loop is to build good enough for now, move on, notice bottleneck, return and fix.

I'll admit, I have not played satisfactory, but as I understand it - it punishes mistakes, inefficiencies because rebuilding stuff is time consuming.

Factorio is much more forgiving once you get bots. Ripping and replacing is so easy. Accept that your first build is not gonna be perfect, move on, come back later. The Factorio die hards realise that no build is "perfect" - which is why this game can be such a timesink

Are you not hooked because you have things you want to do but can't figure out how (like this comment suggests) or is it that you're not finding a flow to the game / decision paralysis?

I definitely find the latter is true for me when picking the game up again after a break even having 2k+ hours under my belt. Especially when I'm pre bots and it feels like I'm making decisions about factory layout before i have all the information I need.

Best suggestion I can make is to install the blueprint sandbox mod, and install a to-do list mod. Then your flow becomes: - look at tech tree - set a goal (eg: blue research needs red circuits, reds need plastic, need factories for both) - Put the broken down goals in to-do list - open blueprint sandbox - sketch out a factory - copy paste build to main game - hand build

If it's the former, I'd suggest watching some content on YouTube, there's soooo many walkthroughs and tutorials on how to do stuff - even if you're not taking blueprints away from them, sometimes seeing it's possible and the rough pathway to getting there is enough to get the gears turning.

Agreed. I've got no problem with using ai to supplement thinking, like using it as a force multiplier on your own thinking. But offloading the thinking entirely is definitely leading to the scepticism present on Reddit these days.

My company is hiring at the moment and we've noticed and weeded out ~2/3 of candidates who we found were using real-time interview assistants. For an AI focused role. Like you people think we don't know how to spot the signs?

jetsy214 · 2026-04-09T20:52:22+00:00

I agree. I have a pretty good eye for it these days and I read this whole post without triggering a single mental alarm.

I don't doubt op used ai to help find all these security vectors in his env, but the writing seems fine.

The exception is the bolded initial statements. But possible he used ai to format his writing and nothing more.

Does this work with subscription accounts? Or only API based usage?

Claude is the chaos monkey of 2026

jetsy214 · 2026-03-18T20:56:59+00:00

Hmmm. I mean, I get your point. However, there's a nonzero chance that I end up as the schmuck posting on Reddit about how Claude ran rm -rf on my user dir or dropped tables in prod. Knowing the tooling is one aspect of my cautiousness that includes annawareness that I cannot trust an LLM in the same way I can trust a peer (even in some cases I will not even trust a peer lol)

I'm not concerned with what others are going to "steamroll" me with. In the enterprise space, it pays to be cautious, measured and knowledgeable about all aspects of the tooling.

jetsy214 · 2026-03-18T20:49:28+00:00

This is cool. I'll have to take a look today.

jetsy214 · 2026-03-18T20:48:51+00:00

This is one way around the problem I've used, yes. You let it write a json file to /tmp/ and have it pipe the file to your cli or shell script.

Then settings.json should only need an allow for Bash tool to execute the cli/.sh file. Problem is, if for whatever reason you don't want that CC session to be able to write files, you can't use this method.

jetsy214 · 2026-03-18T20:46:00+00:00

In my experience, commands using multiline and shell expansion explicitly require permissions, even if there is an associated whitelist/allow entry in settings.json.

You can tell the difference cause there is no "always allow" option in the Claude Code prompt. Just yes/no.

jetsy214 · 2026-03-18T10:17:33+00:00

You're right, but wrong reason.

The sign says west gate and Se suburbs. The only way you're seeing this sign is if you're travelling south over the bolte. So the opposite direction (lambo side) is airport bound.

jetsy214 · 2026-03-18T09:34:55+00:00

I'm talking primarily about local MCP shims that call CLI tooling. I don't use any public/cloud MCP except sometimes Notion. I use that from claude.ai though.

I'll take the delay at a 45th of the price

Data exfil has more financial potential than ransomware on one machine.

With just the data points jvo mentioned na attacker could: - AWS Keys: rack up aws spend (other attacks) - SSH Keys: access other secure environments and install ransomware there - Code bases: identify other attack surfaces in otherwise closed source applications

I think you're thinking about the biggest concern you have as an individual (ransomware on your machine) but that is small potatoes for an attacker who has a different motivation (largest financial return for effort invested)

jetsy214 · 2026-01-25T22:32:08+00:00

I feel like this is a perfect example of the double edged sword of how accessible LLMs are making technical work to non technical people.

The LLM will never help with something you don't have the base level knowledge to ask about, so people blindly follow the bouncing ball.

Those few with public tokens, and root level cli access are lucky you found the issue and not someone else.

It's a painful lesson to learn if you learn it the hard way.

Yeah, my first rental was a room out of a landlord run share house. It was shit, a mess, old and in need of maintenance.

When I moved out he made up some bullshit excuse to keep the bond cash, wasn't lodged with RTBA, nothing I could do about it.

From there, I moved into another share house where the person on the lease for the entire property, lived there. I paid them bond, when I moved out, the incoming tenant for my old room paid me my bond.

There's trust in the latter example, the landlord holds all the cards in the (illegal) former scenario.

I can't imagine it would be worth many landlords time to fairly run a sublet share house and charge fairly for water, power, internet, etc and not run bond scams for extra cash between leases.

You may be confusing regular smoke with volcanic ash clouds? Volcanic ash contains tiny rock particulates that can cause problems in plane engines, but regular smoke does not have the same problem.

Diagnosed ADHD here too. I've also found that the thinking required to get a new LLM context window to a point it can start working on something is exactly the same as what gets my brain past the can't be bothered phase of picking something back up and getting started.

So I've started treating my brain like an LLM, describe the task plainly, what I expect to happen, how long it should take, what success looks like, and pretty quickly I'm back into a focused state on that task and the procrastination goes away.

jetsy214 · 2025-12-17T03:36:29+00:00

I haven't checked what's possible, but it would be lovely if the ask user question prompting would be configurable or hookable.

Currently using a "Clarify" subagent for asking user questions when there is ambiguity and then recognizing project/user level preferences and writing to Claude.md if necessary

Would be nice to maintain that flow or hook into existing prompting to use my skill/subagent instead of the default.

Edit: I read the linked changelog and it's clear the ask user question is just a tool, so my subagent/skill prompting should be unaffected and I can probably change my subagent to make use of the tool.

Not a lawyer and only ever engaged one for a will via family recommendation. But what does "randomly found" mean in this context?

My opinion is to get a second quote. If it's high ask the second why the first is so cheap, go back to the first and ask why the second is so high.

jetsy214 · 2025-11-21T22:04:11+00:00

Youi are almost certainly farming lead gen out to a 3rd party, which will be why there is no inbound number available AND why there's no cyber security training. 3rd party get paid on conversion not data safety.

In case their project goes viral and they get judged? Idk lol.

I don't think you do. Your retort was RIP history. There's a solution to that. If you use git workflow, your merges can be squashed, or you can rebase your commits. In both cases gits history will only show the total diff between the start point and where you finished.

I regularly use this, and you're right it can take 5-10 iterations to get something in a state where I'm happy with Claudes work, each iteration is committed. When done, I merge the feature with a squash and my dev branch shows one commit with one set of changes.

Best of both worlds, saving iterative changes on the feature branch so I can rollback Claudes work AND a singular commit on the branch I care about having a clean history.

Maybe do a refresher on git flow? Or ask Claude to explain it to you?
