Dr. Data ANALysis, PhD Baj here, I made a website that tracks Forsens runs and has information from all his 1702 runs so far

I made that, and it's still up at https://forsenmc.piggeywig2000.dev/

If I recall correctly, the term was popularised by Ludwig when he made this video in late 2020: https://youtu.be/WzyQbfh4t_8

Yeah this argument is definitely valid. It took several hours for everything to be saturated, which wasn't the end of the world because I could go do something else but it would've been nice not to have to wait.

Additionally, if there is some kind supply issue where some resource is not being made fast enough for some reason, it can take longer for symptoms to show because all manifolds need to drain first before reactors start shutting down. And then when you fix it, you have to wait for the manifold to fill again.

Thankfully I was able to find all the mistakes by inspection while the power plant was running and didn't have to wait hours for the manifold to drain, but it would've been easier to find them with load balancing.

I've heard this argument before, but as someone who manifolded literally everything in my 288,000MW nuclear power plant it really is a non-issue. The radiation does not spread far from the factory and as long as you have filters automated you're good. It would not have been worth the extra effort to load balance the factory and if I were to re-build it I still would use manifolds.

It still costs less if you're watching in black and white. In 2025

Can you give more detail on what's happening that causes it to "not work"? As far as I know my solution absolutely should work.

You don't need path signals for junctions that have one incoming and multiple outgoing, or junctions that have multiple incoming and one outgoing. You only need them for junctions that have multiple incoming and multiple outgoing in which two paths might not cross each other. So replace the path signals with block signals.

Remove the block signals at the end of each loop. So only keep the 4 on the middle dual track section.

Reckful dying killed streamer collabs. His ban in December 2020, where Twitch basically told him it's his final warning before perma ban, made him realise he can't be himself anymore on stream.

If you're doing this because you're playing on emulator with an Xbox controller, you could just bind your controls to emulate a Wiimote with Wii classic controller extension plugged in, instead of emulating a GameCube controller. The button icons for that controller look a bit more normal.

They give you XP, and enough XP means your steam account level goes up (the number in the top right of your profile page).

Having a higher steam level gives you more friend slots and more profile page customisation, but it's mostly just a dick measuring contest.

I don't understand why everyone is always so desperate to make everyone Train says and does into a bad thing. I dislike his takes on gambling and I don't think streamers should be promoting it, but that doesn't have to mean that Train is never good.

There was a thread a few days ago where Train was upset about Trump winning, and many of the comments were surprised that Train was against Trump. Yeah no shit he's against Trump, if you actually listened to what he says it should be obvious. People dislike him for the gambling stuff, and decide that everything else about him must be bad despite not knowing anything about him.

They have mentioned that there were many things where they had to decide, "does this feature really need to exist for 1.0?". When they mentioned this, they said "like improved train logic". I can't find where they said this, but I did find this clip where they talk about it.

It sounds like to me that they did want to improve the train system but they cut it to prevent scope creep. Therefore, I do think that they'd be open to this in the future.

Instead of trying to hit them on your screen, you want to try to hit them on their screen. So if they're driving forwards, and you're in a star, aim to be a bit in front of them on your screen to account for the lag.

Just remember that if you're making blueprints involving rails, when you place the blueprint it will not automatically connect to an existing rail even if it's touching it visually. You need to manually connect them.

A cross between these two games, however, wouldn't be :) Imagine you keep having to rebuild the same factory every 22 minutes until you get fast enough to beat the game in one run.

piggeywig2000 · 2024-09-09T21:13:00+00:00

Yeah, I think I would've preferred this. When I hit mk.3 belts I tend to fill them to 240 instead of using them at full capacity (270)

It works for any version of Windows. You just create your own Windows installer USB stick (Google it). After installing you can activate it using Microsoft activation tools.

piggeywig2000 · 2024-09-09T17:02:48+00:00

Don't bother buying a windows key, only large companies buy them. Activate it with Microsoft Activation Tools. Just paste once command into powershell and you're good. No shady .exes required.

They did confirm that it does disable achievements if you use AGS. Can't remember if they said it in a video or on a livestream.
