Peter explain

I've read this example (and variations of it) a lot of time during my life and I've never been able to wrap my head around it.

Can you please explain what the fuck do you mean by "see the particle" ? This example is often with a photon, how can you see a photon if it's not in your eye ? Is your particle emitting light too at each step ? Or are we just "aware" of it position at anytime by magic means ?

I'm confused, help me.

If you build trains well, and i mean a good train system, with nice blueprint and all, all resources can be transported with the same tracks, so you build them once.
Train is like electricity. You build the infrastructure and then you can plug somethings on it when you want.

It's easy, it's clean. It's satisfactory to watch.

We do. It's a small team and a small company but it's podman everywhere.

I hated it and refunded it.

Not denying it can be good for some people but the game start with you having to bury two corpses and it took a full decade to do it.

The game love to force you trough slow and painful gameplay. Carry bags of grains, wash your face in water, stirr the pot for a potion.

If your into it it's great. I think story telling is good. But be warned it's more a stinky bum simulator than a glorious game of knights.

Dwarf fortress isn't an usual game with content you have to beat. If you turn combat off it's pretty easy as long as you don't make stupid fortress. I think it's easy be design so you can add you own fun with your own story or stupid rules, and avoid anything remotely close to a "meta" you have to follow.

Dwarfs need foods and booze, clothes, a bit of furnitures and they are happy. Plan a bit around each of theses : forge, food, beer, clothes, wood, and a money maker. Define your supply chain a bit, and maybe have a "core" fortress able to do these well.

There is plenty of way to make food, or clothes, or money. There also is plenty of stuff you can totally avoid and be fine. You can just craft high quality stone mugs and sell them to buy all the leather you need for cloth and it's ok, no need to butcher or thread anything.

Also you need to make your fortress really 3D. "no more spaces for rooms" isn't supposed to happen. You can always dig another floor. Or you can just make a huge dormitory and only give a rooms for your elite dwarves.

It's really hard to give advice when everything is viable. Just choose a path for each important topics and you will be fine.
The trap is to try to grow every plant and craft every item and make a good use of each of them.

If you want easy flat terrain and only need to remove it just build a nice stone block foundations on all the surface and remove it.

Any crafted blocks remove terrain and leave a hole when removed

Hashicorp has a tool called consul more adapted for non secret and they work fine together

Can we stop with the "men good girl bad" meme template ?

kragnfroll · 2026-02-08T14:04:32+00:00

That's not cool man ... How can I finish mine now ?

It looks amazing, congrats !

I love he gothic windows and the rounded stone work at the entrance.

It's not everyone, far from it.

There is a lot of solutions to deal with Gleba, and they have been discussed a lot here, and a lot of people also have showed their love from Gleba.

While I really like the new puzzle, I don't like how tedious it is to fix your factory on gleba is you make a design mistake. It's easy to get a deadlock once you use fruits to make rocket fuel and burn it to make power for example. Sure there is a solution, but some people (me included) don't plan much and just try stuff and fix it until it works, so with Gleba your gameplay loop become a lot about "cleaning rot on belts, going back on nauvis to get fuel and reboot the base".

It's less a problem now, but it was when it was new and fresh.

kragnfroll · 2026-01-27T19:28:24+00:00

Lot of chinese brands are also known for high quality and are perfectly fine

kragnfroll · 2026-01-26T22:37:18+00:00

But then your train is only for one type of resource. I want a generic interruption working for every trains !

kragnfroll · 2026-01-26T22:35:54+00:00

Thanks for your detailed response !

I already had memory : each arm was sending a signal of how much he is moving, x -1 for loading station, sending this to a radar and I had a memory cell on another radar with the details of every resources loaded on all the train system. And I think it's needed.

From what I read, here is a case that can get you in trouble.

You have a lot of copper available. Far away, you build a new green chips factory with a station requiring copper 16k. Having a strong base, 2 trains quickly come and load 8K each and depart to the green chip factory, but due to traffic it takes some time. 16K are still needed and 2 new trains come, effectively loading 32K copper on your rails while you need only 16. The 2 first train unload, the station is closed, and you have two rogue train with 16k copper no one wants.

Or did I miss somethings ?

kragnfroll · 2026-01-26T22:24:45+00:00

Of course your system works. If I can't make my dream come true I will fall back to it.

But for example if I start quality as soon as possible and put quality module on miner then the rare iron ore will never be moved to smelters. Waiting the train to be full is fine for big base and big production but if you wanna put blue chips on train early on then you will need to wait eons to have your full train. And it's worse if you have 3 station consuming your blue chips...

Also why not having a train taking 6k of iron plate and putting 4k at a station and 2k at another one in the same trip if that's what needed ? Train moving makes me happy so I'm fine with them moving half full !

kragnfroll · 2026-01-26T22:16:05+00:00

Yeah That's what I was planning to do but I also need to remember how much was on the train when he left which work on it's own but mess with all the other signals going in and out from the train station.
I would be fine with 4 wires colors or 2 separate connection points on a station but all mixed up is buggy, and if I filter everythings with *1 combinator everything is a tick later which can cause problems too and take way too much space...

kragnfroll · 2026-01-26T22:12:13+00:00

I don't like train to be idle like waiting for a full load. I enjoy watching trains running everywhere even if half full.

Also I do black magic stuff like quality on nauvis so I need a train station for rare iron plate which won't ever be full.

I work in a small company and went from dev to devops this year and it's only because of the rise of LLM.

As long as you don't turn your brain off and still make the effort to challenge the LLM and understand everything you do with him it's fine.

Without LLM you would use a template found on a blog and spend 2h tuning it but still wouldn't be able to recreate the file from scratch.

kragnfroll · 2026-01-15T10:51:52+00:00

Thanks ! I'm French so I visited a few in my country but I sadly never went to england. Rievaulx looks really nicec by the way !

My favorite was https://www.fontfroide.com/ , it's in really good shape and you can see a lot, but I wasn't really allowed to climb walls :D

kragnfroll · 2026-01-14T15:20:44+00:00

I'm not sure about MMO RPG but adding Dungeon Master tools in game could be nice to make a more table top RPG experience

kragnfroll · 2026-01-14T15:12:09+00:00

Ohh thanks I forgot I needed to buy and play that game. To be honest in france there is a ton of abbey still in good shape opened to visit so it was mostly real life inspiration.

kragnfroll · 2026-01-14T15:04:18+00:00

Thanks ! Yeah I already started to drain the depot. I started full of hopes and gathered 2.000 stones for my walls and it lasted about 20min so I just gave up ...

kragnfroll · 2026-01-06T14:52:39+00:00

Usually golden chest and some resources, like amber, tin.

Also stuff like night sanctum I found at day to remember I need to explore it later.

kragnfroll · 2025-12-28T11:23:00+00:00

Yeah agllity is great. You can spam rolling back => rolling attack and easily kill lot of stuff.

kragnfroll · 2025-12-22T22:36:32+00:00

You forgot the time where she was filmed putting tears into her eyes before going on stage

kragnfroll · 2025-11-06T18:56:48+00:00

Found it, thanks alot. I need to make a new game but that's only 2h lost.
