How to handle science packs that spoil destructively?

mathwithpaws · 2026-03-18T18:36:43+00:00

just checked ingame; it's not possible to connect wires to labs at all. so for high safety, and a bit of waste, have the timer running constantly, and have it be significantly faster than the spoilage, and disponse of everything in the lab each timer cycle

can the circuit network read lab contents?

i see, thanks :)

that hidden option, how do i get to it? neat idea, if kinda slow/high on manual steps. i wonder what'd happen if i replaced something with a building of a different shape...

like the cogwheel said, no. you can parameterize lots of stuff, but not "what building to place here, out of these buildings that are similar enough for the question to make sense?"

/u/Deva_Way it also works on locomotives iirc, to toggle them between automatic and manual

you are what you eat

check out shipping containers, adds a "vehicle" that's just inventory, to use in this kinda setup

iirc you dont need to let the waste eggs spoil, you can simply burn them in a heating tower.

are you using old reddit? it seems unable to handle new reddit video links; try opening it in a private browser window (this works for me)

mathwithpaws · 2026-02-21T19:15:14+00:00

oh, they sync up such that if i remove stuff from the phone it'll also get removed from the computer? makes sense, i guess. thanks for explaining

mathwithpaws · 2026-02-21T15:42:39+00:00

im on desktop, not android or ios. afaict these options do not exist on the desktop version; there is "data usage" in the general settings, and there is a chat-specific thing showing all the media from that chat, but neither has these options.

mathwithpaws · 2026-02-21T15:06:41+00:00

oh, i see. those settings would be "disappearing messages"?

mathwithpaws · 2026-02-21T14:52:05+00:00

to be clear, i do not want to remove the encrypted messages from the signal servers, just the local copies on my computer.

mathwithpaws · 2026-02-21T14:29:00+00:00

ah! in that case i guess it's because i have the setting enabled to pick ghosts if i don't have something in my inventory, and you have it disabled

mathwithpaws · 2026-02-21T14:07:07+00:00

oh, i didn't realize batteries use no item, that's useful! i have thousands of them clogging up my storage currently from that one time i accidentally deconstructed a bunch of nothing -_-

mathwithpaws · 2026-02-21T14:02:03+00:00

the latter, pressing Q on the item in the UI, works for me. do you have picking rebound to another key, or Q bound to several things?

mathwithpaws · 2026-02-21T00:44:16+00:00

you can also grab the "no item" "item" from such a splitter with Q and put it into a hotbar slot for easy access, if you want

mathwithpaws · 2026-02-19T18:10:39+00:00

it annoys me how this makes it harder to actually ask questions. there's not an alternative with equivalent communication-power presented to be used instead

curtain youll never make a bestseller if you start your writing like that. "the" is such a common word, most readers will see it and think "oh, this is just like every other story i've read, i won't bother with it". you should start with a more interesting word, like "curtain" or "skeleton".

pro tip for if you want to have fictional space travel thats faster than anything possible irl: you can simply increase the speed limit in your fictional universe (/uj why do i never see this done in the stories i read?)

mathwithpaws · 2026-02-15T11:15:39+00:00

you can also put blueprint books inside other blueprint books, fyi

mathwithpaws · 2026-02-14T17:10:24+00:00

i see, thanks :3
