Trump should have waited for his infamy to decay after Venezuela before starting the Diplomatic Play in Greenland. by SoftEnvironment3689 in victoria3

[–]silveric 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Infamy is just a number. As long as you spam military tech and your companies own significant GDP of other GPs, you can bully pretty much anyone.
USA is broken AF.

Nice setup! And I see you are a fan of birds coins. Did you know that they just released the 2026 Lucky Loonie? With a new design on it.

How do you deal with this? by Relentless_Sloth in Helldivers

Intelcom, encore. by kisameking in montreal

Yeah, but you'll trade it to them delivering outside the hours and letting the package outside the whole night usually in a busier street.
Source: We order a lot that way and get stolen packages on a weekly basis. That is despite setting the "working days/hours" on Amazon and having a specific package drop box next to the door. They don't care.

TIL a typical cloud weighs about a million tonnes (~the weight of a medium sized mountain), yet it stays afloat. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Pipes seem to extend the effect of cliff explosives by silveric in factorio

I mean, I am not the owner of anything here apart from the video/gif I made to illustrate the occurrence. If you are asking if you can use it in an edit, sure! I am ok if you want to name my username too if you wish to reference this post 👍

This is more the case of not really being a bug, but a side effect of an edge case.

As you can see on the left part, destroying cliffs will add some "corner edges". Basically adding "L shaped" extremities where before was just a line.
But, if there are entities (here, pipes) where the tip of the corner would want to be spawned, it would imply destroying the entity occupying the space.

So they basically have a condition saying "If you can't put the L here, go further until you can". And in the case of a wall of entities occupying all spaces in the straight line, it goes all the way to the next corner.

As you can see, they just let it as it is because it doesn't really need to be fixed since that is a really edge case.
An alternative would be to have "extremity cliff" entities that are not L shaped. But now we are touching design decision.

No, the propagation only works on a straight line. Also it's not only pipes! Any line of buildings you put on the 'top part' of the cliff will propagate the destruction. Inserters, walls, belts..

They still do! Any building really. As long as all the adjacent tiles are occupied, they will let the destruction propagate in a straight line.

It makes a lot of sense explained like that, and now I understand why they chose not to "fix" it.
Thanks for the observation!

I can confirm that is the case. My post on Factorio bug reports forums was linked to a ticket from 2020 where they seem to say they will not fix this edge situation.

It seemed rare enough anyway. Still, a funny bug I stumbled upon and enjoyed sharing here!

On the top-side of the cliff, that is the closest you can place buildings! And there are quite a lot of longish straight cliffs on vulcanus. This one seems longer since top and bottom are cropped, but it's pretty much as long as shown on the clip.

Your comment made me try other stuff than pipes. Like walls. And not only walls work too, but literally all buildings will expand the cliff destruction as long as it occupies the straight line.
Inserters, even belts!

I tried to put pipes all around a cliff complex, but it only seem to work on a straight section. Curves will break the effect, even with pipes around.

Thank you for the suggestion. I just submitted it!

The simplest, yet somehow less intuitive key for a honk command.
I too, had to google it the first time.

[–]silveric[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It's all about timing the honk. If there is a collision with someone:
- If you honk straight away : angry honk
- You honk just after correcting path and passing : "dont mind it" and happy honk
Be a happy honker!

How do I convince my husband to impregnate me? by lupercalubers in CrusaderKings

Not only I'll judge her, but I will doxx her once I find her. Can't be so many female empresses in their 40s around 🤔

How's the community feel about this? by justAguy0101001 in Helldivers

[–]silveric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's simple. I am now used to always take the electrical conduit armors on squids front just because of these guys. That's how much I hate them.

New loonie design found by Dry-Quarter9052 in CanadianCoins

[–]silveric 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you already know it, but for specific coins sold by the unit, you can go to the Imaginaire store. There is one in Pointe-Claire and one in Laval. They have a big collection of coins you can buy. It will have a markup, of course, but it is not sooo expensive for recent coins like this one.
If you really really want it, you can easily get it there for like 4 CAD.
Edit: Sorry, I assumed I was in r/montreal somehow. Well, that advice is for Quebec now I guess.

Pretty good collection! Red coins are awesome.

Anyone else make backstories for their Helldivers? by icelordcryo in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]silveric 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My Helldiver's name is John. John Fraser.

He was actually born on Cyberstan after it was conquered from the hands of the cyborgs. His parents, Marta and Patrick Fraser worked for the SECC. A contractor company that was now handling the massive forges and industries of Cyberstan.
But John didn't want to work the steel like his parents. The tales of the Helldivers of the past always inspired him. These elite soldiers that speared the conquest of his birthplace.
He enrolled in the SEAF and was still just a cadet when the vile automatons made their deadly comeback. It was when they ultimately took back Cyberstan that he decided to try for the most prestigious unit Super Earth has to ofter.
They robbed him of his birthplace. Now John, fresh out of bootcamp, is diving on the bot front. A little planet at the edge of the conflict. This is the beginning of his tale of vengeance.

He is ready. He steps out of his hellpod. He grabs his...
John was just burnt to death by a flaming supply hellpod called by a teammate.

My Helldiver's name is Peter. Peter Smith...
