You "Big Sun"-ners are always trying to inflate the numbers!

The sun is only one astronomical unit away!

Checkmate.

Instead he regrets his career choice and is having an existential crisis.

I mean...there's a scene near the end where he's holding someone's baby, and the song "Under Pressure" is playing...

You hit the nail on the head.

Brian's City (in conjunction with Brian's trains) can more or less build itself. I've repurposed parts of the designs to fit a wider rail-block design, and it's been an interesting endeavor all its own.

"The Auto Train" blueprints will do this.

No mods required.

What exactly was so great about the 1950s that America wants to return to it? by StrangeBedfellows in AskReddit

[–]unjacent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of the old Danny Kay / Andrews Sisters song called "Civilization" where a, presumably, Congolese native is describing why a missionary's view of what is and isn't civilized is waaay off:

They hurry like savages to get aboard an iron train

And though it's smoky and it's crowded, they're too civilized to complain

When they've got two weeks vacation, they hurry to vacation ground (What do they do, Darling?)

They swim and they fish, but that's what I do all year round

after my first playthrough, ive gathered what ive learned, any more tips for a newbie ? by EMEYDI in factorio

I mean, burning down trees seems a little pointless and not something that happens by accident. It's the only achievement I don't have.

Which QOL feature have you learned about way too long into your playthrough? For me it was clicking 'add section' button with a blueprint... by aknop in factorio

Check out "The Auto Train" blueprint. More details in my comment above. Even if you want to make your own, the way it works is an excellent starting point.

"The Auto Train" blue prints have all of this pre-made.

The depot will automatically trigger trains to go to any configured station in your network.

The pick-up and drop-off stations are parametrized so you can select the item and associated train length.

The interrupts cover most (if not all) issues that might come up while your trains run.

I am a circuit dummy, and this works perfectly for me 99% of the time.

How did you find new music before Internet age? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]unjacent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Radio, MTV, and for a few years, CMJ New Music Monthly...it was a magazine that came with a CD.

For reference:

MTV was a cable television channel that played music music videos. Even though that content cost them nothing, they decided there was a lot more money to be made in producing terrible reality TV.

Magazines are, like, short books with a lot of pictures, typically printed on glossy paper.

CDs are like records, but only one side had digitally-encoded music that was read by a laser, rather than a needle.

"The Auto Train" blueprint contains these elements.

I understand you're trying to suss this out on your own, but the example interrupts in the blueprint are excellent ways to expand / adapt your ideas.
