Race today was a lot cleaner than I expected it to be, pretty entertaining down the stretch.

Damn. How big is your Nauvis? Mine is 5692. I've gone out to find the edges, but with an almost 300mb download every time we enter the game, I don't go and reveal more than I need to on some surfaces, heh. Building the space elevator today. Then the work begins redesigning the entire...

I'm sure the answer is 'git gud' but... how are you guys managing what resources are needed where for your factories across the different surfaces? Just complex circuit setups so they intelligently request things, simplifying the endpoints you need to supply? Take Nauvis Orbit for example -...

Decent set of games for Humble Choice.

I recently added a 2nd wagon to my trains, but it's caused some issues w/ my jank lines and there can be some stuck conditions that never alert so probably go back to one, lol. Added six more recyclers and reworked my scrap setup, a little more under control now 🤣 Oh, and: Another step...

This is going to wreck them with PC gamers for a long time, heh.

So how many surfaces / orbits do you guys have a presence on? As a multiplayer game we're pushing 250mb of maps to download everytime we load the game now. We have 8 bases/outposts currently. Currently need to get a better source of iridite so probably setup a new outpost dedicated for that...

As usual, much cleaner than my ad hoc, cramped setup in orbit. I just don't see a meaningful amount of return on scrap for whatever reason. Apologies for the blown out HDR image. Scrap enters the system from the blue requestor then spits out the resources to the smelters which eject it back...

Yeah, I admit it's easy to do. I find myself rooting for Red Bull as a new fan, going with the winner is easy. I compare it to my wife being a Patriots fan because of when she started liking football. I'm really not sure who I'm really rooting for. I am here for the entertaining races, as a...

That was a lot of fun to watch. Races are so much better when the top spot is disputed, however brief. Feels like so many races since becoming a fan under the reign of Verstappen has largely just focused on the back half of the lineup, as they shuffle around desperate for points. That's...

Oh no, all scrap I process in orbit. In fact, I don't think we do anything with scrap on the surface and stashed some on a rocket earlier just because I had the room and knew it'd give me some oil and scraps of other materials. Rare metals goes to the motors for belts, so does iron plates (and...

Yeah, I've been meaning to look into a path to building those in orbit to see if it's viable with our current setup, have plenty of other things soaking up the resources that does generate at the moment though. Think I'm going to work on material 2 and energy next, or whatever it is to get us...

'oh ill get to setting up a decontamination process later' I thought, a week or two ago as I dropped a couple boxes to corral it as I setup material science. This week I setup a better pipeline of imersite and the material testing pack production on the surface, and the above thought came back...

3 of us playing, but ive played quite a bit :) Those are 2 week / lifetime stats and we're 5 weeks into this playthrough. There's one more who's time would exceed mine but his stats are private. Currently making the first tier of astronomic and material sciences. Probably energy 1 and...

Looks like the latest edition of 'Feature Creep: The Game'. Hope it's good regardless, some cool stuff there.

364 hours in, first time I've seen 13 meteors between orbit and a surface. Per wiki, that 9 shot is a 0.1953125% chance.

Oh. Fuck. I haven't used chain signals at all, just 100% rail signals. Thought we were all talking about the same thing. Well shit. LOL the wiki even has the problem I was struggling with all night.... "since only regular rail signals were used" lol.

Yeah, using the hell out of rail signals just not correctly. the problem I've created in that image (I think) is not allowing longer one-way sections, so the trains are getting to a point where there is no siding for them to shift to to get around a train and so they've bunched up. I understand...

Meta's OS used for their Oculus headsets being made available to some 3rd parties for their efforts. https://www.threads.net/@zuck/post/C6EbeLPxovW

I read all this amazing shit and then spend like 4 hours trying to get my trains not to crash into each other just because im not using city blocks / blueprints / etc to standardize shit and have them flying all over willy nilly.

LOL.

Embracer splitting into 3 companies. https://embracer.com/releases/embracer-group-announces-its-intention-to-transform-into-three-standalone-publicly-listed-entities-at-nasdaq-stockholm/...

Looked at why we don't have a newer one to install if we wanted to go through that (getting lua errors on the main menu, but no obvious issues in game). Turns out our server is using this one: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/space-exploration-official-modpack Instead of this one...

Wow, those sure were simpler times (and yeah, still so far to go). Making the first 3 space science packs. The ship is the one I salvaged from an asteroid belt last week. That's pretty neat traveling back to Nauvis orbit w/ it w/ the hazards and stuff. Haven't done much else with it because I...

... im playing it and wish I had the time for it, lol. This is probably the most complex game my adhd brain can get into, while I envy people who can get into the grand strategy 4x stuff.

I was kinda hoping that when you rebuilt the building there'd be something inside, but losing the building just deletes the contents entirely. I do appreciate the randomness and risk. This experience will get me to start blueprinting the contents of buildings when im done setting them up I think.

Heh. We just had our most damaging CME. Think I will probably stop using the Factorissimo buildings until we can manage these better.

Just felt like they had too big of a cast they needed to feature in this one. Was largely OK, but the prior was a better movie. Thought Podcast had been recast, lol.

So I learned tonight you can hold left control while viewing the map from a train UI, and it'll show you the paths it can take as you move the mouse along to troubleshoot bad train signals, allowing you to see exactly where it can't path to/through. Can even click to set and have it go to a...

Yay. 118 hours to my 2nd space science pack... lol. Now to scale it better. I really need to get better at managing resources to/from orbit, I've got gobs of shit I thought I needed like 6k blue circuits and then run out of iron plates every time. Think soon I'm going to sit down and...

under the bridge section of your ship.

I was using no rail signals, so now im adding those and then resolving the problems that is creating. This whole thing is kind of a shit show because to learn im just kinda stealing / bolting onto 2 different coal and uranium trains me and another friend had setup that were their own lines...

The joys of trying to figure out trains and cybersyn... 🤣 Actually didnt realize this was only the cargo car and the next time the train blew through here it also went through the engine that was still on the track, just off screen from me with a loud 'boom'

Yeah, im never getting to the point with this game that you guys are, even on a conceptual level, lol. We're fumbling through establishing a foothold on the vulcanite planet and im just now setting up our first supercomputer in orbit, all spaghetti-like. Also peeled off some enriched iron to...

Really enjoyed the first episode of the new season, minus the laser pistol on land speeder stuff. Lots of gratuitous starship stuff and a good pace. Will get around to the second later this weekend.
