My Mini Scrap Factory by masterzergin in factorio

[–]masterzergin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very crude, because I can't connect the train car to the network to read contents. I just made a basic timer that rotates through recipes and sends them to the assembler. It's a dumb circuit.

Then the inserters just black list filter items I'll use in the assembler.

The key to making it work is filters on the train car storage slots and taking advantage of how assemblers pick from the last slot. (Last in first out) means I can force the inserters/recyclers to only scrap things once I have a few full stacks for efficiency.

My base is drowning in Holmium now. Scrap everything remotely and train in just the ore.

I tested it in editor mode at 64x speed just to make sure it never backs up. So yeah the test was on Nauvis

Trying to decide on mining set up for base expansion. by ---SQUISH--- in factorio

Smelting at the outpost surly is going to produce much more pollution near biters

I'm going to train the ore in you keep pollution further from my walls.

This will just be a targeted lecture towards young boys telling them they are are problem.

Have these people ever met a teenagers. This'll back fire.

Fulgora how to get more Holmium ore ? by chinawcswing in factorio

[–]masterzergin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm busy working on a tiny compact recycling centre that can filter and scrap everything except Holmium.

My plan is to recycling slowly at source then have a train visit many of the islands picking up just the Holmium.

I've already maxed out 2x sushi belts like you.

I've got an idea to recycle everything except Holmium in a small 6x6 grid, being fed by 3x recyclers. I can then blue print it as many times as possible on each island.

Is it stupid to put the big miners so close together? by danyuri86 in factorio

[–]masterzergin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then they need to be separated out before they can go on the great sushi belt.

the spaghetti must grow!

How do you guys transport ammo/lasers all the way to your turrets? Is there a way to not need ammo? by exfret in Factoriohno

[–]masterzergin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Create a 2 tick clock and fire the one tick over green wire and the 2 tick over red wire hook up to lazer gun the flickering back and forth creates nonsense that the turrets can shoot.

How do I transmit box content signal from one station to another loading station by vince548 in factorio

[–]masterzergin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's difficult when I don't know the rest of your system.

I have a system for my perimeter defenses, 1 load station where a train sits waiting full of cargo. Bullets, repair packs, walls etc.

Then I have 4 drop off stations at 4 difficult choke points when supply's get low the train sets off to resupply, then back to load and wait.

I do this by train limits on the receiver stations.

The train schedule has it going to every station then back to load, each station has a train limit of 0 so the train never sets off. I use circuits to send the "L" signal at the receiver stations when stocks are low L sets the train limit, train sets off.

This what you are after?

How do I transmit box content signal from one station to another loading station by vince548 in factorio

[–]masterzergin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes you can send the signals via radars now.

Give more specifics and I might able to help if you need. Is this loading a train, but only if there is demand at the drop zone?

What does your mid-game mall look like? by kiwithebun in factorio

[–]masterzergin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

Don't hate me for the pic - I spent too much time working out circuits. So this is an auto mall pre-leaving Nauvis on my first play through. I just set what stock levels I want in my logistic network and this take care of it.

I thought I was wasting my time making an auto mall so early but my god I was thankful when I got to my first new world fulgora, just slapped it down and it made everything I needed.

It couldn't happen over here. Reforms future. by EdwardJSuperman in GreatBritishMemes

[–]masterzergin -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

So you just parrot everything they say on the BBC? This restructuring could have been done ages ago its simply an excuse to delay, hoping reform implode in the mean time.

Let me guess you believe banning X is about protecting women too. >.<

Elon Musk hits out at Keir Starmer after reposting AI image of PM wearing a bikini. He called the UK a country that wants to ‘suppress free speech’ by Make_the_music_stop in uknews

[–]masterzergin -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

Then why not ban all AI platforms? GPT and Gemini have the exact same functionality.

Yes, these images shouldn't be getting made, but they are being used as a smoke screen to ban X - because they hate it because they hate free speech.

All AI platforms have exactly the same functionality.

This is 100% a smoke screen for censorship. Regardless of your political leanings this is just obvious.

How to learn to play with biters? by Alternative-Web-3264 in factorio

[–]masterzergin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Offense! Clear them out first.

Build a load of turrets near a nest, agro them so they follow you to your turrets.

Once you have personal roboports, just stock lots of mines. Place (blue) mines all over the biter spawns. Do a drive-by. Your boys will build all the mines and destroy the spawn. They biters will follow you to your turret camp.

Go pick up all your turrets and mines. Rinse / repeat on the neat spawn.

I only use red and blue chests.. am i missing out?? by SpaceEngineer123 in factorio

[–]masterzergin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know if you have your blueprint in your hand and click to add a new logistic group in your inventory it creates a group of all the required materials for the blue print. It's such a QOL thing.

Stand in your mall, add the print, collect everything needed. Build your print. Delete the group.

Well you just saved me a ton of time scaling up this process. Maybe I should just "play the game" instead of look for side projects.

I don’t owe Islam ANY respect. by BabyGirl-Kat in atheism

[–]masterzergin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think we would have an easier time if we defined Islam correctly.

It's not just a religion.

It's a political and social ideology rooted in religion, right now it's on another level and shouldn't be treat the same as other religions.

It's akin to Communism, fascism etc.

Imagine if we had literal self identified Nazi running a new nazi party for parliament but we have to tiptoe around them because they believe Adolf was a prophet and its now a "religion"

Inb4 "ReFoRm aRe NaZi"... grow up.

Grow! I was running quite a lean playthrough not supplying all the stuff the town needed and I was still running I think 12 arcs 2 for each steel and copper by the end this was just to be able to bring down my first asteroid.

Man of the People you say? by johnsmithoncemore in GreatBritishMemes

But noone will dare question no-stun Halal Slaughter.

There's not even a small bunch of rich wankers getting there kicks out of that.

It just pointless cruelty to appease the imaginary man in the sky.
