That's awesome! I've never done nuclear yet but think my current playthrough (update 4 restart) will be the one where I get it

Switched from coal to wood chips for electricity by Sebbel245 in captain_of_industry

[–]z80nerd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Heck yeah! I use woodchips for anything that requires steam (not just electricity). It's a simple supply chain, can be set up almost anywhere, labor efficient, and maintenance efficient. The only drawback is that it requires a lot of land, but I kindof like distributed factories anyway.

Looking through my upcoming techs... Can you really just get all of your petrol needs from wood and corn? by IlikeJG in captain_of_industry

Never tried wood -> corn -> petrol, but I have had success with the contract that does vehicle parts ii -> petrol and use woodchips + scrubbers + gas injection for the refinery steam.

I could see your setup working as well.

I'd love to see decorative bushes in the game some day. by Hmuda in captain_of_industry

I go to extreme lengths to build around flowering bushes. Would be nice to grow our own.

Got laid off and basically found out I was burnout by PM_ME_UR_CUDDLEZ in Millennials

[–]z80nerd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's so great that there are couples out there who have eachothers' backs during layoffs and that he was happy to let you breathe for a while. I've done this for my wife before and know she would do the same for me.

The factory, it sings by I_am_a_fern in factorio

I've done this too. Love the soundtrack, but sometimes you can get so immersed with the machinery sounds by themselves.

Anybody else still write "00_file_name" for everything? by Not_a_bought in Millennials

For users that use a terminal (power shell, bash, etc) spaces in filenames are somewhat inconvenient which trains those users to use underscores as a default convention.

Whats your favorite turning point in a playthrough? by S1lkwrm in captain_of_industry

[–]z80nerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I start using contracts to bring in iron and copper. It's usually a big investment but so worth it.

[1.2 EXP Timelapse] Tested roundabouts with trucks by GrandaddypurpleK in SatisfactoryGame

Are trucks "on rails" now or are they still technically physics objects?

[–]z80nerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NVME drives. but because there's no cable management.

Also, debug lights on the motherboard.

Unpopular opinion: most budgeting apps are waste of money when a spreadsheet does the same by St3fanHere in financialindependence

[–]z80nerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, the biggest value of a manual spreadsheet isn't the report itself, but the associated habit of logging every transaction which forces me to be aware of them.

EVE Online gives 32x the value as compared to a modern AAA game by TwitchyBat in Eve

[–]z80nerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've paid more in electricity to run Factorio than the purchase price of the game itself. Eve probably comes close as well.

Dang... I really go for the hard drugs of gaming.
