Oh nice! I’ve kept the Xbox game bar running so that I can make these clips so it will be nice to ditch that bloated mess - no need for two overlays

No I actually upgraded to Mk 2 just in case

But I have done both of those things and am still encountering the issue. I swear it worked before

I’ve been reading that wet concrete is a good option, so you don’t have to use plastic or anything for the containers

I think there are a couple flaws in this design that seem to be glossed over. Granted the video was very long for this kind of topic so perhaps I missed the counterpoints. But, to me they are:

• the hoverpack negates the need to jump over everything, so the initial point is very early game focused, and in the early game you’re building simple things
• you should never really need a top down view of your factory to understand it. Manifolds are very simple, there isn’t a lot to figure out once it’s already built, and frankly if you build large, spaghetti factories then you need to do yourself a favor and simplify into smaller factories or rooms. Encapsulation is a friend
• coveyors on the ceiling are nice, but they have one fundamental flaw - you can’t see what’s on the belt. That removes your ability to assess flow rate or even to refresh your memory on what’s going where. I’ve done many ceiling conveyors and inevitably I end up hitting my head on the ceiling trying to peek at what’s going on up there

A better strategy, to my mind, is to use floors dedicated to conveyors, or have floors that are so simple that there are only two or three things being moved on the floor (except for floors with manufacturers and the like with 5+ things). It really improves the “readability” of a factory. Plus you can use windows and glass to still allow for glance value assessments if desired

I think if I make that argument he’s going to just reference the fact that we both have very powerful computers. Although he’s never experienced auto-save hell yet, so maybe when that starts happening he’ll see the light

For our shared world I capitulated and we’re doing a megafactory, but I put my foot down and said I will not allow power (coal/oil/nuclear) to enter the factory. I had to draw a line somewhere and it makes no sense to me to not have your power dialed in to perfection

I think I get closer to what you’re describing in most builds. Small buildings on a flat foundation surface high above the ground, where all the “shipments” come from a lower level so all the conveyor belts are hidden. Kind of like when you build a computer and stuff all the extra cords onto the side of the case out of sight.

Half of our arguments stem from how to interpret the analogy…

I wonder if there’s a correlation between a love of blueprints and a preference towards closer together infrastructure. Because my friend also loves blueprints, but I generally don’t like them.

I always tell him he’s like King Neptune and I’m Spongebob. He’s shuffling out gigafactories in minutes and I’m here tucking in my conveyor belts and reading them stories. Each one is a special snowflake to me

You’ve described my ideal scenario, but my friend just doesn’t understand me… thankfully you do

That depends, is it a metaphor for factory

I have seen your profile picture before and it didn’t dawn on me what character it was until this moment…

I’ll add this to the hot tips I’ve learned way too late

Also included

• Zoop mode
• Middle mouse button to “copy” something
• Overclocking takes exponentially more power (not linear)

Wow you’re right, he’s the author of the infamous “is-odd” and “is-even” packages. What an odd person.

Someone in the OP PR mentioned the amount of energy used to download these tiny packages and its actually something crazy to think about

Just to clarify for people who may be confused like me: Humble Games is a game publisher and its closing will not affect the Humble Bundle

CTO of my company was up at 1am this morning in the chats. Pray for the IT department

I was just thinking the other day how I’d love to “root” my TV like I used to root my phones. Maybe install some free OS instead

Arctis 7 was truly the best headset, I have three pairs at this point. None of them broken - all were purchased because the headset was so good I wanted one for the office and for my wife.

However, Steelseries seems deadset on making worse versions of the Arctis with every iteration. The 9 was altogether disappointing and they are really trying to force all the features like the chat mix into Sonar software instead. Really disappointing.

Didn’t he cheat on his wife and get caught as well?
