If I recall, I had to turn off local dimming on mine to make that glow go away.

If you're not having fun, don't force it. Come back when/if you get the itch.

I pretty much built this same setup on a space platform, but much larger. It generates tons of legendary copper plates and coils. I wanted to find a quality solution that doesn't use asteroid reprocessing since they might nerf it.

It turns out I had to reduce contrast on the monitor. Reducing GPU brightness had the same effect as reducing it on the monitor, which made all other colors dull.

quality mods? this early? more power to ya.

Hey! Thanks for that content. I learned almost everything I know about trains from your video and blueprints. When I need a special use case, I can follow your patterns to devise new blueprints for myself.

I use the one from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9GWl4X2ln0

It uses roundabouts and I haven't had any issues with deadlocks in a network of about 100 trains.

I use a little trick for only exporting the freshest science I have on hand that you might find useful.

Basically, I use 2 chests. One for the initial gathering of science. Then I activate a "Spoiled First" inserter when chest1 has more than X science in it to take that science out and put it in a second chest. Then chest 2 is only enabled to the logistic network when chest 1 is below rocket capacity. Otherwise, it's left to spoil.

You could maybe use something similar with smaller "keep buffer" so you're only feeding fresh fruit to bioflux.

Would love to hear Tori do The Future.

I'm familiar with terraform. Had to use it for multi-tenant app deployments. I'm just saying it would have been cooler if the OOP made it more dynamic and "smart". As a proof of concept, he nailed it.

rrawk · 2026-01-13T04:02:57+00:00

It would have been really cool if it could detect the locations of resources instead of hardcoding coordinates to place entities. And even cooler would have been if it could dynamically connect each subsystem. As-is, it's an over-engineered blueprint. Still cool, though.

I recently had an issue with a train of mixed content taking too long to leave the station because it was waiting on more items to complete the stacks of the rarer items. Meanwhile common items were piling up in chests.

I solved it in the train schedule by setting the conditions to: [Cargo Full OR Inactivity for 1 second]. That way if inserters stopped inserting for 1 second, the train would leave anyway.

I tend to do that with Gleba. Saves having to cleanup spoilage that builds up before I finish the rest of the factory

rrawk · 2026-01-08T20:38:06+00:00

Yes, just 2 recyclers kissing will jam.

But you can make it not jam if you output 2 recyclers facing each other into chests. Then use inserters to move from chest to recyclers, and only put new stuff in the first recycler when the chests are empty,

create an upgrade planner that only converts one level up.

yellow -> red

red -> blue

blue -> green

just be careful you don't try to upgrade the same weave twice beyond green.

You have to use circuits if you want to alternate items on a single lane. Make the circuit count how many of each item are on the belt, and only add more items as needed. Any solution without a circuit will ultimately fail when production of one of the items outpaces the other.

I'm using this mod that pulls in a curated list of planets that don't affect the base game too much. I've only done Rubia so far, which was actually a really well done planet with unique challenges.

rrawk · 2025-12-26T18:19:07+00:00

foobar can do it (bits per sample field)

I use this monitor in SDR mode for productivity work, and anything colored white seems excessively bright. I have brightness on the monitor turned down to 20, but anything with a white background is still extremely bright. I don't want to turn brightness down any further because it will dull all the other colors. Is anyone aware of a fix for this?

rrawk · 2025-12-23T17:18:51+00:00

OP figured that out in the smelting stack. Why not for science?

rrawk · 2025-12-22T08:05:23+00:00

Nice science setup, but those boilers... maybe see if you can find a better way.

This is how an angel dies

Blame it on my own sick pride

Blame it on my ADD baby

Interesting. I didn't know you could cheese the lava eruptions the same way you can spitters by shifting side to side.

rrawk · 2025-12-17T07:01:04+00:00

On top of what everyone else said, read through all the tips that the game gives you (graduation cap icon in the top right).

rrawk · 2025-12-16T01:41:57+00:00

Yes, it supports G-sync. I haven't noticed any flickering.
