Another day of hard labor at the cum eating factory.
How many of you are actually engineers? I can make 3d models for parts and well games but I'm not an engineer
>>546928171I'm a computer engineering dropout, does that count? Also somewhat decent at 3D modeling.
>>546928171not meN.E.E.T.
Well I have 12 fulgora spm automated now, but I still need 800 more concrete just to build the silo. I'm going to need to expand scrap mining and recycling by a lot.

>>546928986>800 concretewhich I would have if I turned off refined concrete production sooner, I have 1.1k of that
>>546927380how many cums did you eat today?
Well I tripped the other week and hit my head on a rock and now I'm completely enamored with space stuff. I want to download and play the new game Reentry which covers the early NASA missions but I've owned Kerbal Space Program for years and so will start there. what's the best way to learn the game - do the training missions? any good youtubers, written guides, etc. to check out?>>546927162>>546928171Working at chemical plants is fun. I don't do it any more but one of my earlier jobs was working at one. Instrumentation/controls/electrical engineer.

>>546928171""""""smart contract engineer""""""there's not enough quotes to put around that to make it not sound retarded
>>546936421Please tell me you aren't paid in crypto...
>>546929651Well no, you see, a cum eating factory is a factory that eats cum. I just make triangles here.
>>546936648i've made significantly more money via crypto in a fraction of the time and effort than every single fiat paying job i've ever had combinedyou can measure that either in the value of crypto i have now or the value of the crypto i've converted into fiat in order to pay bills or any combination of the twoi also don't exactly "get paid". you can gain value in smart-contract related crypto stuff in many odd ways
>>546936756I know how a cum eating factory works dumbass, obviously I meant "you" collectively as in how many cums were eaten at the factory?

they need a g-force measurement on opus magnumi want to optimize for maximally violent synthesis
>>546942578Anon had too much Taco Bell and nearly burned down atmospherics, but we managed.Also as soon as I logged off I finally sort-of realized what you were trying to accomplish with the condensation valve and heat exchanger setup. Problem is, what I set up currently doesn't work well with liquids and condensation, and the whole thing was kinda convoluted and made my brain hurt. I think what we want to use is a counter-flow heat exchager so we can keep feeding the ACs 125 degree nightime air and blow the hot air directly back outside. In fact, it might work really well to hook up a counter-flow heat exchanger to each step in the AC daisy chain. I'll have to toy around with that.

>>546928171I am an R&D engineer, although a bit on a theoretical side
>>546929480You could have typed 'scammer'. It takes less time, and it's more accurate.
>>546927162Any game that is about pipes, factories and overall has aesthetics of industries and light panels stuff like that, I like all that
>>546953774I'm pretty sure we are defined by what we actually do, and not by our diplomas.If you have a SE diploma but actually have a productive job, then don't call yourself a software engineer. Call yourself a productive worker.
hmm how do i make the byproduct train get served first in a generic interrupt system? other than adding another stop for the same product that gets served by a "hardcoded" byproduct train
>>546963337What makes you think time is a metric
>>546944945You should be able to calculate it yourself, assuming a unit length for hexagons. You have all the movement data, so you can measure the distances and the time, giving you the speeds, and from there the acceleration. You might need to do a bit of measurement to figure out if changes in movement occur in a single frame or if there's any wind-up (I think it's a single frame), and to verify what the tickrate is (probably 60fps).The only thing you wouldn't be able to do would be convert hexagons per second squared to g, lacking a real reference for the size of hexagons. But the postgame puzzles have an actual alchemical device with a bunch of decorations around it so maybe the scale can be estimated at least roughly, though I forgot what the decorations look like exactly so they may or may not be useful.
>>546967486>"muh software engineering" scammer does not value timeOf course you don't... That's what you guys do, isn't it? Wasting everyone's time and energy.
>>546969580Usecase for valuing time and energy?
>>546928171I've a masters in chemical engineering and work as a process engineer.Sometimes it feels like I do more engineering in Factorio than IRL. Environmental concerns? Safety data sheets? Preparing investment applications? The single most valuable thing I've done for the company is some paper flipping discovery I did that gave the company a million or two from a government thingamajig at the cost of a few hours of work.IRL feels like a meme sometimes.

Surprised that 4chan is working, I thought the Cloudflare outage would have it down. Pretty sure they use Cloudflare for verification.>>546963571People hate dealing with fluids in Factorio but I like it, probably why I liked Nulius so much. I also like how Satisfactory forces you into pipe hell by making refineries the main building for raw resources after you get the alts, but man the fluid sloshing is so annoying. Waiting for a fluid manifold to fill up takes forever.
>>546980210Sounds like the confession of a guilt-ridden man.Do you have a hard time sleeping, at night?
>>546984547new IP's might be having difficulty establishing but 4chan uses much less rigorous spam protection for posters that have been established on the same IP for a while
>>546985146The system is janky at time.My french public IP got rangebanned for no reason last evening.One moment I could post just fine. The next, I had to verify my email...My router use a fixed IP address. No VPN involved.
This was how close I was to the soviet customs house when the rail construction burned downWhy must Stalin send me his toughest battles?
>>546985620Happens all the goddamn time for me.Of course, there's a difference since you deserve it for being fr*nch, but still.
>>546985737I know it is true.*sad frog noises*
>factorio is down because cloudflare is
>>546985146Yeah, I noticed that after a while I stopped getting those "Type the letters with circles above them" captchas and started getting normal ones instead. In fact, I just got my first "Verification not req", it's been a while.
>>546985840My provider switches between several IPs a day so it's hell for me. I haven't been able to post at all some days.
>>546985906My ISP used to have a dynamic IP then they stopped, no idea why.>>546985821>Cloudflare goes down>No longer have to listen to ADA's passive aggressive quirky quips
Having scrap mining require lube is interesting.It's not going to be continuous because lube is just something I get from surplus jellynut at the moment and I'm going to need to ramp up production, plus want to use bots to handle scrap because >using belts, but I didn't want to build an actual base without both foundries and EM plants.
>>546988662>plus want to use bots to handle scrap because >using beltsBots were a mistake.
>>546988856Since you hate bots so much, you get the belt.

>>546989543People just post porn links on /egg/ now?
>>546989793I figured pointing out that it's a man would fix it, nevermind.
>>546985146>>546985906It's really gay that they don't use their cookies for this, you already have a persistent ID saved so why not let you move IPsIf you get banned you have to delete the ID cookie anyway so it'll reset either way
>>546990127I can only assume that client-side cookies were getting spoofed. Even in it's current state pizza still gets spammed across multiple threads on /vg/ alone at least once a day. The advantage remains in the court of the attacker on 4chan, and probably always will be so long as an account is not required. But seeing as, y'know, an account not being required is the whole point there's not much you can do.
>>546990318I thought they only did taht shit on /v/ and /tv/
>>546990127why would they? they're not selling passes that way.
>>546990318An alt chan managed to get rid of 99% of their CP problem by just rangebanning Israel but I don't think our mods are that based.
>>546990952I'm pretty sure one specific problem individual does it on the gacha generals and sometimes on the ff14 general. All because they are pathologically afraid of yuri shipping. Moderation has confirmed they've been at it for almost a decade at this point. More reason to stay out of there for your own good.>>546991224there are VPNs that penetrate that, apparently. But they do still rangeban entire countries to make the spammers shift their VPN location until they get bored, which is why French-anon sometimes catches strays on /vg/.
>>546991347Funny that you mentioned the gacha generals, I go to that one alt chan just for a single gacha thread because the ones here are so terrible. It's a hellhole full of jeets spamming cuck shit and sometimes gore. I still come to /vg/ for other threads like /egg/, but for gacha specifically I take it elsewhere.Anyway, back to factories. It's a day off today, I should go build something.
>>546992460way to out yourself as a hoyoslopper, probably a seanig as well
>>546993576But I don't play Hoyoslop? Only Hoyofags pretend that Mihoyo is the only gacha studio out there.
>>546993817i dunno then, the one gacha general i visit is pretty comfy
>>546994114The one I went to fluctuates wildly between brimstone nigger hell and pleasant. On the other site it's always pleasant, so yeah.
>>546984547>People hate dealing with fluids in FactorioIt was awful before they allowed you to attach circuits to storage tanks. Now, you can cleanly micromanage fluids and run them through shared pipe networks.
>>546994749That wasn't always a thing? Damn.>shared pipe networksI've seen some of the single pipe abominations people have made. Spaghetti pipes are against God.
>>546994947It's the opposite of spaghetti. You only have one pipe, and it goes wherever you need the liquid to. Nowhere else.
>>546995301Oh, I meant to say sushi pipes. My mind's full of spaghetti right now.
>>5469845471.0 fluids were a massive pain because you had to empirically test (or look up) pipe throughput and put pumps everywhere. 2.0 fluids are way easier to deal with, especially with the water to steam ratio change.
There any way to tell caravans to skip certain tasks before combinators or am I just fucked until I get them?
>>546996526>There any way to tell caravansTo tell what?
>>546928171I used to operate a nuclear reactor. Just a grunt out there changing chipboards but it was cool. Not an engie anymore
>>546997016I can't see a way to tell caravans to grab <= certain amount of things and moveI can't see a way to tell caravans hey only drop this amount of shit on emptySo right now if I only have say 300 iron plates I want them to just grab the 300 iron plates and move instead of waiting for there to be 400I do see caravans have circuit conditions however I don't have combinators yet since they're locked behind batteries and one step after batteries and I'm only now working on cdna for auogs
>>546999553The "load until caravan has" and "unload until target has" or what ever they were called do exactly that. You don't have to use full and empty all the time.
>>546999947Yeah that's the problemLoad unitl caravan has 400 x, however I only have 300 x. Unload until target has 400 x, however I only have 300 x. I want it to be able to interrupt and just grab a smaller amount if it's stuck for too long, a timer with combinators sending a signal like that would do it but I don't have them yet
>>547000092You can untick "wait until fulfilled" next to the instruction and it will grab/drop whatever it has access to and move on to the next one. No need for combinators to set a timer either, adding a "wait X seconds" instruction before the above does exactly what you're asking for
>[Notashill] is a primitive archipelago planet that you start on that offers no reward; technology, or unique resource>the courage not to bloat the game
>>547000092Just put a wait timer on it then
