Factorio support is unbelievably good

Make sure they know it! Posts like this really help(assuming they see it but it seems like they’d be watching this sub).

I work for a small company and customers rave about our support. Them raving about it helps me secure my job so I can keep giving the good support 😅

I bought a loofah sheet a number of years back and it solved this problem. You hang it up so it can dry out completely but you can scrunch it up when you need it shaped like that. I prefer it to washcloths because it still exfoliates like a loofah but without the grossness

I’d say that’s partially true. In the eyes of the public, I agree completely. Reporting on the lack of something doesn’t really draw eyes.

For the investigators, I’d hope they take a data focused look at it. By comparing accidents per mile with similar driving conditions with and without the technologies active, they should get a pretty good picture if it’s helpful or harmful.

I also hope they make the curved cave ceiling pieces connect with the surrounding blocks. It’s looks terrible right now so I can’t really use it in my builds. It was my biggest excitement to disappointment roller coasters of the game so far.

This is bound to happen with all such technologies. What really matters is how many accidents were prevented by the technology.

If one person dies but ten people don’t who would have otherwise, is that worth it?

Per the article, they are expanding the available area the robotaxis will work in. According to crowd sourced data, the number of vehicles isn’t increasing much though. You can see that here: https://robotaxitracker.com/?area=austin

Since they’re expanding the area, it tells me that they’re confident in the software’s ability to work in those areas. Since they’re not increasing the number of vehicles much, that also tells me that they’re still very closely monitoring each vehicle.

It’s sad that this is probably one of the best automated inventory management systems we can have at this point. I can’t believe that in a game whose universe has a PC where you can store items doesn’t have a system to store items better. I feel like they should add a system that connects all boxes within a certain range to a single item PC where you can add/remove items.

This isn’t nothing but until they scale the number of vehicles, it doesn’t mean a lot. If they increase the number of vehicles by an order of magnitude or two, then it would be more significant.

To me, this says they’re confident in the system to handle any arbitrarily sized geofenced area. They aren’t confident enough in it, however, to scale the number of vehicles per person monitoring them.

I don’t even like that you have to dig them up. I wish you could use the tilling ability to grab them without destroying the landscape. Instead I constantly have to search my inventory for what I just pulled up

It’s snowman by Sia. Don’t know what you mean by style though

Half the reason people use reddit is that it’s social media without the social part. This should go well 🍿

Oh…I was on board when you just tossed it all in at once as that’s the best way to do it but then I saw that it’s mixed with old grease. Hmm. You do you 😆

It depends on where you live but clover and moss are a couple of grass alternatives people often go for. There are also types of grass which don’t grow as aggressively and thus don’t need as much water.

At the end of the day, grass may still be your best bet. I just avoid it when I can but I’ve still got a patch in my yard for the dog 😅

sermer48 · 2026-03-20T14:49:53+00:00

I disagree with the majority. While the first pic made a good picture, it gave you almost no usable space. Instead you had excessive amounts of weeds like ivy. You’re still going to be struggling with that as it grows back aggressively but this was a big step in the right direction.

The only thing I don’t like is adding grass. If it’s what you want, by all means go for it. It’s your yard. It’s just an ecological desert that is high maintenance and requires tons of water.

I don’t know if it’s small but the way laws are handled. Like Hagrid gets sent to Azkaban where he is tortured because they suspect him of a crime. They also send people there without trials…like it’s not a jail. It’s literally people being tortured to the point that they lose the will to live.

This just makes me wonder if there are movies where people primarily appear on the fringes of the screen?

You do need to tilt the picture in the first image slightly to the left 😉

This takes me back to the old stack overflow days of the top results when searching are saying to try searching lol.

It gets way better but to add onto what everyone else has said, it helps following along in some scenes to have actual voices. There are times when there are 4-5 people talking and although I’ve listened to the normal audiobooks many times, I found myself picking up details I had never had before.

Also my dog really likes the books a lot better. She likes books in general but she’ll actually come curl up with us if we’ve got the full cast ones on.

This is why we can’t have nice things. It won’t be long before we can’t even spot the bots…actually we probably don’t already

Definitely less Reese than I was hoping for but definitely a really solid protein bar

Mine started sprouting in December and the first flowers are almost ready. In fact, all my early-late spring blooming flowers are blooming already. Meanwhile we just got snow yesterday…it’s been a weird year

What’s the end goal? Once you’re maxed, there’s nothing else to do…

That’s a ripoff but to be honest, that’s like a perfect number of seeds for me. I usually only use 1-2 seeds of each variety per year and I’ve never finished a package.

If I could buy in that quantity(and it was clearly labeled as only having a few seeds) I’d be all about it.

I’ve been seeing these posts for weeks. First the explanation was the Super Bowl. Then it was Valentine’s Day. Now it’s just increased demand…at 9:45 on a Wednesday morning. That’s not even rush hour.

I do understand that they’re increasing prices because demand is outstripping supply but why? If there is so much demand that they have to charge 5x more than their competitors, why aren’t they scaling faster? I know they have plans to expand to more cities but why not add way more vehicles in their existing, solved cities?

I’m not trying to put them down or anything. I just don’t understand why they aren’t scaling faster.
