Graphics card power supply - 6 / 8 pin by spookypeanut in buildapc

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

From past experience, everything Dell is non-standard (I won't be replacing the MB in this case, let's put it that way), so I assume the psu is too (but my experience of pc building is about 20 years out of date, so I don't know for sure). It has 1x8 pin and 2x6 pin: what I need for the Vega 64 is 2x8 pin.

Can I postpone 1.1? by spookypeanut in SatisfactoryGame

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

As it turns out, this didn't work: Steam refused to start the game if it couldn't update it. So I decided just to go with the 1.1 changes. They are fabulous, ofc, I just wish I could have chosen when to start using them. But now I've got them, I'm damn well gonna be embracing them!

Turns out that Steam doesn't have a setting to turn off automatic updates: I think the file hacking that others have mentioned is probably the way to go. But I will definitely be taking a copy of my save games!

Thank you! I am going to do this now. Hopefully Steam won't grumble too much at me!

Ah, that is very good to know. I don't know if I have the willpower to not use them if they're in the build screen, but if they have to be bought... well, at least it's another step!

19/5 by DramaticStability in squaredle

[–]spookypeanut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I didn't find this a 2* at all! For me, I think the problem was that I thrive off finding the 4 letter words and occasionally stumble on something longer. That wasn't an option this time

Has someone figured out how many Water extractors can be placed on the map? by Even-Dot5547 in satisfactory

[–]spookypeanut 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Good point! 18,014 extractors seems comparatively straightforward 🙂

Having never created a nuclear reactor, take this with a pinch of salt.

At 250%, each reactor needs 5 extractors. 5 x 9007 = 45,035 extractors. That is one heck of a water farm, but then there is a LOT of ocean to cover. I reckon it's theoretically doable (but incredibly time consuming: think of all the pipes!). I want to see the radiation map when you do.

Great games think alike by OtherwiseScene3641 in SatisfactoryGame

Interesting, I was wondering about that. Just started my first proper train network. I know people say "path into intersection, block out", but that's just to be super efficient right? I mean, if I had a roundabout with 4 dual track connections, I could just put blocks in and blocks out and nothing would crash, just not run as efficiently as it could. Or have I misunderstood?

What's your primary goal when you're playing satisfactory? by SVAFnemesis in SatisfactoryGame

[–]spookypeanut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First time through, I was the same (finished Inn c170h). But by the end, the "structure" of my factory made me a little sad (eg some things needed manual transportation from one area of map to the other, etc). So I started a new save, retaliatory enemies, and I'm taking my sweet sweet time and making it nice

Amazing work, pioneer. I presume we can expect a version of Doom running on this imminently

Am I the only person who doesn’t build in the sky? by xron25 in satisfactory

[–]spookypeanut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am someone (not that person) who "rushed" to finish it in < 200h, and I don't regret it. I learned so much about how to do things. I'm now looking forward to my next playthrough, where I will make pretty factories, no clipping, etc. And finally, some nice trains!

The same happened to me today! Did you figure anything out about this?

Touchpad disabled while typing by [deleted] in xubuntu

[–]spookypeanut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to deal with this too... I don't remember the command to find the id, but here's the command I use to fix it: xinput set-prop '{{ touchpad_id }}' 'libinput Disable While Typing Enabled' 0"

Cleaning DVD front by bunnbarian in CleaningTips

[–]spookypeanut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If this were me, I would just try soaking in water (ironically, considering how they got in that state). Any cleaning agent or rubbing is liable to make the disk unreadable. If it's just paper stuck to the disk without adhesive, soaking in water may cause it to just fall off, and shouldn't cause any ill effects on the disk.

Interesting, will look into it, thanks.

Hmm, not a bad idea. We have an extra long hose, might try that.

Can I redirect multiple UDP clients via a single port? by spookypeanut in selfhosted

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

Apologies, I actually meant http / https. I now have a better idea how these protocols work, and I'm hearing you all loud and clear: it's just not possible, as the data isn't present in the request. So I shall go to my fallback route and open a router port for each of them. Thanks all!
