12k smelters on his forge world. Says he did it without blueprint mods too. Insane.

What are you researching, and have you hit the point where one miner fully saturates a Mk3 belt?

I only play now when I see a new idea on youtube or here and look what I did for comparison. Thoroughly enjoyed my time but once you find a "solution" to production it just gets repetitive scaling everything up for no reason other than scaling up. Almost the same timeline of interest as I had...

Are you talking about the ray receiver part, or the particle colliders? The ray receivers are easy since you can't space them all that close so there's plenty of room for both lens and photons. Hardest part for me is finding good locations to maximize efficiency. Particle colliders I make a...

Would have been fairly easy, and logical given the power origin of the black girl, to say the combination of the Hex along with Agatha's manipulation altered his DNA and turned him into the new quicksilver. Can even continue to call him Pietro. He would have as much or as little relationship...

I think a good starting point, with options for more or less aggressive bugs would be to tie them to rare resource nodes. Start easy around fire ice and work your way up. Want those unipolar magnets, better bring a BFG. Maybe move organic crystals to a bug drop instead of the raw crystal...

Yea, some form of combat or defense would be a welcome addition imo. Really though it's just Factorio's version of the endgame. DSP you build a rockets/sails to make a sphere, Factorio you build weapons/ammo to secure enough territory for a rocket. Problem is DSP there's no negative outcomes...

Interesting theory, but one problem I always have with these "alternate reality" bubbles is who's to say what is really a superpower and what's not. I think it's reasonable to think someone who can alter minds and create illusions can make the "illusion" of someone moving fast. You would think...

You don't technically need railguns since just the frame pieces generate power. You need sail production anyway for the rockets though, and sails are pretty easy to make so it's much more efficient from a materials to power ratio to fill in the framework with sails. There's a bunch of math out...

It's pretty common, at least in the factory production games I've played, for people to challenge themselves like this once you've finished normally. A couple that I've seen mentioned include: No hand production other than the bare minimum to get the first assembler (copied from an original...

Separate from the belt limitation, that setup needs like 400 magnet smelters to run anywhere near mk3 assembly levels, not to mention all the other basic components.

I haven't really looked to see if any mods do it, but along the lines of having multi-use belts I would like multi-use storage. If I only want a couple stack of something, set the max storage for just that item. Right now I have a bunch of half empty storage units as I can't automatically dump...

That is pretty slick. I think the trick to circuits like that not getting backed up is making sure the recycle is prioritized over the new inputs, so in this setup the upper lines get used first. There may be backups for individual plates and whatnot, but they will occur before entering the...

I'm not sure how exactly solar sails go from launch to swarm to sphere but I spent far too much time watching sails and rockets join the swarm once I got everything running. Sails do this weird thing where they join the swarm first at some arbitrary insertion point, then a short time later...

I should add, that seed (28570582) is as near to perfect overpowered sandbox as I've seen for anyone who likes to focus on optimization rather than hunting rare resources or making due without. The chertan system, in addition to having a bright star with tidal locked planet also has every rare...

I've done two methods now. First time I build sail launchers on both poles. I never saw a time when one wasn't firing and sometimes both did. I suppose with a 5deg min angle if your launch planet is too far away there might be a dead time but I never noticed it. By far the easier answer...

In the graph/chart window you can select planets on the top dropdown and see what's produced there. At least that's how I find stuff I decided not to produce on my main factory world. Of course if there's some bottleneck and it's not currently producing it may not show up.

I feel like this game hits a pretty sweet spot where initial production of a component is pretty easily attainable while long term pushing you to expand and optimize mass production. Getting that first green matrix or vertical launcher feels like an accomplishment and then you realize how many...

On the seed select screen if you move the resource multiplier all the way it goes to "infinite." Nodes still show amount but it's some multiple of billions so essentially infinite. It's all resources though and not just common ones.

Yea, I'm fine with the matrix cubes. I tend to play more zoomed out and all the grey boxes on belts are indistinguishable. I look at the icons on the factories to see what's what. I've started using the graphs window more to look at production bottlenecks and I was wondering if there's any...

The NHLtv crew was raving over Kane's no look backhand but I'll take McDavid's no look goal from last night any day. I get that hyperbole is Luftman's shtick but Kane's spin seemed more desperation, throw it at the net, while McDavid's was intentional all the way. Impressive how those all those...

9pm local, and only the two remaining periods. Not really any later than a normal western conf game. Some of those shots of the ice it was hard to tell if they were showing the slush bucket or the actual sheet. Looked brutal.

It's a shame that a game with multiple endings and decision based character interactions is such a slog in early game replays. I wanted to see some of the other endings but could barely finish replaying the first zone. Gave up and watched them all on youtube.

I can't be the only one who wants a No Man's Sky - Dyson Sphere crossover with base parts and frigates and stuff in the manufacturing chain.

Seems like the most obvious difference is if you "lose" a put you still own some stock that should have at least some value. Losing a short and all you'll own are IOUs and wsb memes.

Agree I don't want a thousand different threads but I think a "top picks" or something might be worthwhile. Not even top picks, per se, but a curated archive of thorough analysis posts for the more casual that just want the golden nuggets from the general thread.

My problem's not near as cool. My FoH watchlist has grown biggly the last couple weeks and it's encroached on my tiny portfolio window.

I'm pretty sure it's been linked here before (probably even within a day or two), but I found this useful for understanding warrants.

This is going to become a test of wills between the diamond hands and the newly educated retail shorters I have a feeling.

I think there's also a portion of WSB (and here) that just want to see how far TPTB are willing to go. Red pill the masses instead of actual profit.

I know they were never protecting the little guy. I'm saying if that actually was their motivation they went about it all wrong. Just more proof who they are beholden to.

And had RH and others just put 3-4 click through warnings that GME and others were meme stocks and unless you're in on the joke you'll likely lose I think everyone would have been fine instead of locking people out.

Congrats on the profits, but goodbye to any 2021 stimulus money.

I half think the shorts will never end. Boomer logic says start shorting once Melvin and the big institutions are out, but that may just keep this thing going to the moon. We''ll see I guess. In any case it sure is entertaining.

I want to buy stock in the diamond hands meme. I feel like it's going to go mainstream after all this.

Can't speak to the base game, but the free version is the Celebration edition which has everything except the preorder bonuses unlocked. There's literally nothing to spend credits on with this edition.

There's also a growing phenomenon of "redshirting" kids in 8th grade since high school athletics limits you to 4 years. Those are also the kids more likely to score with the teacher.

Comics were pretty much nerd territory for me and my friends growing up but we sure as shit watched Super Friends every Saturday morning. That, combined with the Reeves Supes, reruns of the 60s Batman, and eventually the Keaton Batman films meant we all knew a ton more about the DC universe...

@slippery April 2020 Opus Magnum and/or May 2020 Rise of Industry thanks

You get the first $10 coupon from the free game too, which I think is different than the summer sale, but maybe I'm not remembering right.
