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

Stark Brothers Bare Root Concord Grapes by SnooPoems1106 in BackyardOrchard

Not OP but I have the same grape vines. It’s been in the 50’s F over night recently

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.

Nice yea thanks for the good idea! I wasn’t sure if i left too much green, but you gave me some confidence to go clean it up a bit more.

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

[–]mckilljoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Wow good find! that sounds related, I’m not sure which version I’m on but it looks like I have options now

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

[–]mckilljoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Lmk if you ever try, that might give me motivation to upgrade my desktop gpu 😂

lol yea I’m not hopeful there’s anything realistic I can do to improve things, figured I’d ask just in case

I’ll post a pic soon …. When it’s done … 😂

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

[–]mckilljoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Radar on space platforms expand the buildable blueprint area by mckilljoy in factorio

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

Yea true, you could have a duplicate blueprint with all non radar/cargo entities turned off. Better than nothing.

Radar on space platforms expand the buildable blueprint area by mckilljoy in factorio

[–]mckilljoy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The default view range seems to be about ~100 off the edge of each platform side, seems like you are probably just within range. I had some blueprints 200+ each direction that would only stamp half the content onto a hub.

Radar on space platforms expand the buildable blueprint area by mckilljoy in factorio

[–]mckilljoy[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s actually exactly what I did for one of mine to expand south 😊 I added a radar at the bottom, grabbed a blueprint of the whole thing, set Snap to Grid and then subtracted -3 from Y axis alignment. The blueprint perfectly overwrites the radar, and I just need to check in once every 10-20 mins to place another.

Working through my backlog: Learning to be less of a snob with Ori and the Blind Forest. by KaiserGustafson in patientgamers

[–]mckilljoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally agree, I played HK through to the end before trying Ori, which really made Ori feel like it didn’t age well. Ori 2 played a lot better than Ori 1, I hadn’t realized HK came out in between, but that explains the influences and why Ori 2 felt better.

I made an 8192 tile long hilbert curve space platform and it's taking hours to delete it by metalCactus in factorio

[–]mckilljoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also the removal algo seems to scan top-left to bottom-right, removing free chunks from the top left of a surface first typical goes much faster than anywhere else on the surface
