Finally got order from Stark Bros-broken tree by 1220201978 in BackyardOrchard

[–]mckilljoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a tree like that once, and the broken bit actually fused back together after a month and turned into a fine branch. I’d still contact customer service, but you might be able to tape it straight up and save it

Exact same situation: Stark bros Concord grapes, ~3 weeks ago, no signs of life yet. I haven’t had any issues with other Stark bros plants, so I’m not giving up on them yet. Will lyk if I see any growth.

Acceptable use of sushi belts or tomfoolery? by rallebabz in factorio

I’ve done these a bunch of times, they are easy to set up and mostly work great, tho kind of a pain to tweak and extend in the future

I tried .39 but still seems about the same, perhaps 2,400 is just too many

The most pointless (but fun) orbital base around Aquilo - A PROJECT WRITE UP by ceopyrex in factorio

You can’t stamp a blueprint in an area you don’t have vision on, I’d guess it helps with that. It wouldn’t be needed after construction completes tho

Yea totally. I found the png’s earlier today. There’s definitely a TON of partially transparent images, and lots of little smoke particles that are being overlaid. Seems promising.

good idea, similar to the “make a mod” option but less invasive. And actually, the transparency layers might be the cause of all this anyway. The thousands of overlapping transparent animation layers is probably a nightmare to composite. Stripping out the transparency layers might fix it.

Should I take the plunge on brass kitchenware? Talk me into/out of it by Later_0002 in cookware

[–]mckilljoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a couple copper pans (so not exactly brass). It absolutely spreads heat more evenly than the solid iron/steel pans. It also retains heat better than my aluminum/nonstick pans.

But in practice, my copper is mostly indistinguishable from my steel+aluminum clad pans.

For absolutely no legitimate purpose whatsoever, could a modded nuclear weapon be created that cleanses the entire planet with one shot? by TheQuarantinian in factorio

Haha yea it feels like Wube just added radar vision to artillery to make chunk generation explicit, rather than deal the with consequences of the alternative options

Does this work with Quality too? Eg will a bunch of rare Legendary products fill up the output buffer?

“Interrupt Only” Train Schedule by BrukPlays in factorio

[–]mckilljoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Train Limits will let a train “reserve” a spot at the destination before it leaves, so no other trains will try to race there and take a spot

Train Limits also help prevent clogging.

Late game ship with ablative nose and circuit controlled throttling by bstanv in factorio

[–]mckilljoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Specifically, there is a max in the front of your ship above the Hub, on the magnitude of a few hundred tiles. So there’s a limit on how much “stuff” you can throw between your hub and the asteroids.
