For block size I've been extremely happy with what I chose, which is uhm, 32 * 5? It matches the grids in Factorio which I usually have turned on for placement and pollution reasons. You can see a full block below and a quarter block factory. I like this size because I can make a quadrant...

I dunno. I use LTN and I started with 1-1 (one locomotive, one cargo) trains and 1-4-1 (1 loco, 4 cargo, 1 loco). I used the 1-4-1 cargo for higher throughput (mining, iron plates, core fragments etc) and then 1-1 for everything else. This worked well until my systems got more complex and...

2 moons down, a couple planets and some moons to go

I turned on Scan Surface for a looong time on my waterless planet and found 3 million Water Ice.... 6253 space transport and space platform later, I now have my longest belt. I'm kind curious how much water ice it'll take for 7,000 belts/space platform to be less expensive. Not a trivial...

The spaghetti never ends. The efficiency of my relatively organized city blocks is massively increased by a few strands of spaghetti between the blocks. A single belt between two nearby blocks will save a huge number of train transfers, when scaled up to all my city blocks that's a significant...

If I play SE again (in like, 5 years at least) I probably won't include K2. Not because I don't enjoy it, but because I'd want to do things differently than I have already. Whether I'd recommend it I guess comes down to how many levels of progress a player wants, and how much they want to make...

It's an exp curve thing. They'd be better off reducing the scale of that curve and reducing the XP gained from the achievements.

I'm using Coal Filtration to turn my oil into water. The problem is what to do with all the coal. It's still slow AF with this approach. I'm thinking about getting a mod that lets me void stuff, I dunno. Dealing with byproducts is an intentional difficulty in Space Exploration but giant...

Here's one of my vulcanite quadrants. All the balancing magic happens here, and is how I do most of my balancing now for all my different systems with byproducts. Each type of output is put into a container, and then circuits are used to allow or prohibit output. In this case if I have too...

Not sure if you have access to this recipe, but here's what I do with my steam on my vulcanite planet Sending shit to yourself in barely filled rockets will never end. It'll just get less painful. I'm about to send a mostly empty rocket with a beam emitter to my imersite planet because I've...

here's how I deal with that on my imersite and vulcanite planet. The waterless planets receive Water Ice (lol) from an asteroid belt.

Now that I'm more effectively using all my different outpost's materials and being more efficient in general, I'm shrinking my Nauvis base and abandoning areas I cleared of biters to get resources. This expansion was very resource and time consuming and is one of the many reasons my playtime was...

Herr's my imersite crystal quadrant, that I'm pretty proud of. Most of my city blocks is separated in 4 quadrants. This one takes in Raw Imersite, Nitric Acid, Sulfuric Acid, Silicon and produces Sulfur, Sand and Imersite crystals. In the center is a Wide Area Beacon that hits all the factories...

here's a pic of one of my energy glaives in action. I have two massssssive solar farms near the sun that function as partial dyson spheres to energize this beam that autonomously roasts biters. It's one way to completely eliminate biters from a planet or moon. I've exterminated them from one...

Speaking of indulging in wasting time for aesthetic reasons, here's one of what I call a "MegaFactory Block" on my Imersite planet. It consumes imersite core fragments and produces nearly every generic resource. This particular planet is waterless and has no mineral water (which is a resource...

My first Core Mining factory maintained different belts for all the resources. I moved toward dumping them all to one warehouse and then using filtered loaders.

Overbuilding is the common SE sin that I commit regularly. It's just too tempting to want to saturate your need for XXX as soon as you unlock it. This results in massive factories that need massive resources to build that then sit idle 95% of the time until you unlock something new that needs...

That's the core challenge of outposts: Extracting the needed resources in an effective way. One thing that might be different about my game from vanilla (not sure if it's SE or K2 or what) is that oil is unlimited. Once you deplete it, you get uhm, 20% of the rate or something. Anyway, oil is...

DBG took so much heat from players when they made the persona system terrible in beta, they don't care. I'm contemplating popping a few krono to get a heroic char on all my accounts for personas some time this year. But the thought of leveling them grinding and cycling overseer a couple hundred...

Build better models, better software and bigger hardware. All at the same time. Parallel growth.

Me irl trying to decide if i can mow my lawn yet without looking foolish

The concept of a bajillion dollar skyscraper burning thousands of tons of fuel and trying to land on empty like my dumbass rolling into the gas station with the engine choking out because there's no gasoline left is fantastic.

Yeah the temperature differentials motivated me to buy a Tru-Infrared which worked well, but required too much time to heat up for regular, small-batch usage. What's an expensive propane grill that you'd recommend?

A++ test, can't wait for the next one. Seems like they've had 3 launches now that had pretty solid goals that were exceeded. Feels great to see experimental launches that are not only successful, but wouldn't even be a huge problem if they were catastrophic.

I'm looking to buy a propane grill that I mostly just cook meals for a few people. I'd like something cheap that gets hot relatively quickly so I can grill some burgers / wings and be eating without much fuss. I'm leaning toward whatever this is...

T minus 24 minutes (9:23AM EST)

Yep. Which is a super common reason a mod descends into drama. The passion project to learn game dev becomes an unpaid second job.

The audio is totally believable.

Doing Eldrig and other mobs that are somewhat hard to get to spawn reliably (like Quillmane) is fun on live with a maxed out Ranger / Bard, especially if it's casual enough to wait for a rare named bonus and quiet enough to have the zone to yourself. For Eldrig I enjoyed machine gunning...

I always joke that I'll sell the one bitcoin I bought (At $600 or something) when it hits $1 or $1million, and I'm not sure which is more likely. It's like anything with unrealized gains, it's effectively a $600 loss until I take a profit and buy cheeseburgers and a GPU with it.

Pre-melody bard was a fun alt for me as a warrior main. Go from pressing five buttons a minute to pressing one a second. I know whenever I played with a main bard in a group they'd do as little variation as possible most of the time and I didn't blame them.

So a week ago I disabled LTN warnings (that tell me my train network is failing) to focus on upgrading my space science. I turned it back on and....

Looking good brother! These guides help with figuring out logistics between planets, which is a huuuge part of the challenge of space exploration https://spaceexploration.miraheze.org/wiki/Guide:_Rocket_Circuitry https://spaceexploration.miraheze.org/wiki/Guide:_Launching_Rockets...

Dunno if they changed the stacking. I don't know of any other class where getting the 2.5 is important.

Necro 2.0 was S-Rank until recently when they nerfed the crit focus to diminish based on level like some of the other epics. Funnily enough the crit focus from the 2.0 and the 2.5 stacked additively, making the epic even more OP. It's a good change though since they were the only class that...

Mod drama always cracks me up. It's one reason why I support platforms that streamline $$$ being paid to mod authors. You have to be pretty goofy already to do a bunch of unpaid software development work long-term. When that passion project you do out of love and joy becomes something you hate...

Three episodes into this show, I enjoy it so far. It's interesting, seems authentic and gets a few laughs for me. Not sure if I'd recommend it yet unless someone really liked the premise. @Amod merge please! https://www.firesofheaven.org/threads/reservation-dogs.13055/...

Very cool. From a quick google it looks like Vietnam is one of the leaders. Five reasons why Vietnam’s crypto usage is so high with 17% of the population using crypto mostly for the reasons you described.
