Guaranteed to sort the list in nearly instantaneous time and with absolutely no downsides that are capable of objecting.

I’d suspect so. I’ve gotten in the habit of aggressively using stackable pipeline supports for all alignment and making good use of horizontal to vertical pipe layouts for aligning floor entry points.

Foundry is an upcoming game that’s probably worth keeping an eye on.

Yea, it specifically looks like a small concrete pillar.

Oh, my suggestion is just to have some of your aluminum factories use waste water exclusively… then it’s impossible to have a backup.

One nice thing compared to Factorio is that the ratios in this are pretty approachable - I know some people go fucking crazy trying to be hyper optimized about power usage but, tbh, there’s a fuckton of power available unless you start power-slugging production buildings so the math has always felt manageable to me.

One thing that might be fucking you over is bugs. Both ceiling and wall sockets can cause pipeline flow bugs - I switched to using only:

• Default (not clean) mk1/2 pipes
• Pumps mk1/2
• Valves
• Intersections
• Pipe supports (the default thing when building pipelines)
• Pipe wall supports
• Stackable pipeline supports

I never touch wall/ceiling sockets and have had to fully destroy networks that got into a bugged state because of them, and I just clip my pipes through walls when necessary.

I also try quite hard to never lift fluids as pumps can bug the fuck out - so I’ll usually build factories at grade or pump water down from elevated reservoirs (like the crater lakes).

Fluids are super broken IMO due to some rare but devastating bugs and the extremely limited pipe throughput… I’d personally rather they just treated them as solids using conveyor belts than the state they’re in right now.

As a young kid I had some anger issues but they went away either due to puberty or medication (my diagnosis was right before I entered puberty)… Grandfather Nurgle’s depression fun ride definitely tempts me frequently… and Tzeentch’s Wikipedia hyperfixations are always calling… but my soul is definitely owned by Slaanesh, the hypersexuality from uppers is no fucking joke.

To be honest, I usually dedicate some refineries to using waste water - the Satisfactory fluid mechanics are too janky and all the fluid logic gates you might see creators discuss are based on specifics of how fluid calculations are done which could be changed without warning (especially for things like putting a hump in a line - that relies on the engine not doing some specific optimizations).

Having waste go into refineries that get priority on bauxite means you’ll need to pay a few minutes to build a buffer initially and then your output should be consistent as long as the refinery capacity and bauxite flow are sufficient.

I’m currently trying to get assessed for ASD - I’ve had days where I involuntarily go non-verbal and feel pain whenever I try to speak.

There’s a large comorbidity (overlap, basically) between ADHD and ASD - and I think this is more of an ASD thing than an ADHD sort of thing.

Honestly? Pretty fucking awesome if you get it configured correctly. I don’t think it’s super useful for production (I prefer chef/vagrant) but for dev boxes it’s incredible at producing consistent environments even on different OSes and architectures.

Anything that makes it less painful for a dev to destroy and rebuild an environment that’s corrupt or even just a bit spooky pays for itself almost immediately.

Based and vagrant pilled.

Fucking hell, now ride of the valkyries is on loop in my brain and Willem Dafoe won’t stop screaming at me.

As someone with ADHD who has been a developer, a manager, an architect, and a tech lead… I give you permission. It’ll actually make you more productive and make work suck less.

I totally agree that it takes effort to train yourself out of the “Don’t be lazy” shame from growing up though.

I’ve accepted that I’m a high performer generally but occasionally just get stuck in a lull where I can’t do anything. My super power is realizing it’s better to just take a nap or go for a stroll when I’m not going to be productive anyways.

Nice sink integration… I always enjoy leaving the radar dish poking out like a comms tower!

Ah, that’s when we fork and pin our version refusing to ever update the dependency ever again.

The ladder movement mechanics always make me nervous… when I do a pre hoverpack build like this I usually cover it in catwalks!

This is fucking badass but as a semi-architect player that is way more vertically than I’d ever commit to. I usually map out what kind of floor plan my build will take and then scale the building to that size. I hope you’ve at least got a hoverpack!

You do, you boo is very much not the sentiment of your meme - and if I’m asking my company for a 4k+ CAD laptop I want one with a sufficient number of ports. My complaints are primarily focused on the fact that Macs are simply poorly designed machines these days, in the PC market I can still get a laptop that hooks up to multiple monitors without needing to lug around multiple dongles.
