I don’t know about the other locations but in Seattle the reserve is striking. That location is HUGE, often has a line stretching around the block, and can get through a few people a minute. Starbucks is losing bonkers money on that location striking this time of year

This would be fantastic on a record spinning around

This only works outside nature where the bird is well fed enough to not go full dinosaur on the cat

What did their morning stake burning alarm not go off or something? This guy’s out there in a pajama top, underwear, and leg warmers

Family sizes have been trending down as more kids survive. Imagine how many kids they must have had following that trend to the stone age

My sibling watches a bunch of far right stuff and listens to racist white people rap music. One of their kids is half Malaysian, talks about all lives matter, and sings from memory the racist songs. They’re too young to realize and it’s shocking how innocently they’ll parrot stuff that is targeting themselves

Excitedly getting monologued to about niche things that are like magic to me is the best. Learning just enough about someone’s interest to use all the words wrong though is what really gets me going

The crusher kicking on is most of the power grid issues. I suppose replacing the collector and crusher with more storage and launching ice/iron/carbon up could work depending on how much is needed per trip

Fascinating, I like this idea

Without the accumulator then sometimes the dips in power can slow the system just enough to cause fuckery with fuel production. That said it would probably be better to just have two solar panels than a solar and an accumulator because as I found out just recently, one solar panel is not enough to go to/from Fulgora reliably. Also the front-facing solar panel sometimes gets hit so uh, repair packs and maybe a spare couple solar panels in storage is advised

Shortly after getting my steam deck and seriously learning Linux past tiny personal servers, I got divorced

All our internal R&D docs refer to it as aerodynamics. I will have to issue an internal review to determine if they’re aware we’re building a space ship not a plane, it could explain the pushback we got when requesting the removal of wings in an early design

Well the 12 parsec shortcut is common knowledge at this point. That’s about 3.7e+14km, say 40km/s average speed because acceleration doesn’t seem to be a thing in Factorio for 9.27e+12 seconds, or a little over 293,000 Earth years. As long as the flight path doesn’t include having to shoot at asteroids I suppose because this model can’t self sustain ammo, or maybe it needs a fleet of ammo ships sent to keep it supplied…

I’m not really sure what you mean by this but also your numbers aren’t even accurate to what I was saying?

What?

Edit: Read the other ones for context but my reaction has not changed

The idea of this design is to make a little fleet of them so we really want to nail the design before copy/pasting. I think we’re just about there

We’re planning to run a new year’s special! Buy 3 at full price get 2 more at 12% off the first one and 9% off the second one but if you get 6 at full price then the discounts on the first set of discounted ones goes up by fifty percent!

It doesn’t move very fast and is a bit inconsistent. So I guess that depends on if spending more time up front to build a faster ship outweighs being able to launch something like this earlier

You can actually differentiate a real Deliverator from a knock off by inspecting the Blinky Lights and their Blinky Logic

I wonder if I could tie the Blinky Logic to an existing combinator and remove the dedicated timer combinator
