I used to, but people didn't engage, so I stopped. Learned a few years ago to notice when someone doesn't care (which is most of the time) and only engage when someone broached the topic.
Hobbies. I like making lots of different things and giving them away. I would fix all sorts of things and give them to the needy. I'd love to fix up crappy houses and cars and everything broken and give it back. I hate throwing things away and love repairing them. I think the world would be a better place if we did that a lot more, so I want to be the change I want to see.
do I match robo port grid to substations or vice versa?
The grids of robo ports and substations don't match up. I'm always overlapping one on the other at some point. I figure there are 3 options
-
don't match grids, just maximize each grid separately and have defects here and there.
-
use the substations as the base grid and match ports to it.
-
use the ports as base grid and match substations to it.
I'm leaning towards #2.
First time it happened I thought he was actually shooting me, but then I got hp and I figured it out.
The after a bit, I'll recognized the noise and I'll stop when he's doing it and the 2nd shot gets me. It's still weird.

I think that twitter link is not correct. That's not an artist's page. There is a nanoless on twitter ( https://x.com/Nanoless_ ). I can't find that image on twitter, though. Nanoless on reddit posted an earth chan 6 years ago, but it's been deleted by imgur, so IDK if that's the same image. If it's 6 years ago, then I'm not gonna dive that far into twitter history.
I do think the image is nanoless, because here's a version with the patreon link at the bottom. It's been cropped out of the OP. https://old.reddit.com/r/Planetchan/comments/7snd96/earthchan_nanoless/
Lol no. No one really cares about me and my fellows, only what we can provide.

Social/environmental - life is fucking terrible and I have to take anxiety meds to survive it without panicking and breaking down. My last meds made me hungry CONSTANTLY. Sadly, I didn't know it was the meds until about 3 months ago. New med calms the anxiety and doesn't make me starving all the time.
I am not built for modern society.
shower thought - gleba spoilage is analogous to error handling
I've often seen Factorio compared to software development. I'm not a software dev, only a casual programming hobbyist at best. In that context, Gleba spoilage feels like error handling: if things go wrong, do this. If the line spoils, grab it and burn/convert-to-nutrients.
bring bots to gleba. trust me.
I always try to do belt bases, as I prefer them. Gleba is damn near impossible. I tried to at the start but the spoilage and nutrients are just too much to handle for me. Bots to the rescue!
Thrusters have speed/efficiency balance. here's a way to set that.
Of note - the comments point out many other ways to do this.
I'm thinking gleba because I don't wanna deal with freshness or spoilage as much.
Fulgora maybe because it's hard to expand with out personally being there. I can expand nauvis or vulcanus remotely.
90% full, whatever that ends up being. Over 90% and they turn on and dump stuff to the quality line.
My main input:
Train comes in, dumps its load. That heads to main recyclers which sort into storage and excess is dumped onto quality line. Quality line is up north, next pic.
Line 1 is the next recycling loop I set up early. It was originally overflow for the main one, but then I converted it to quality. The * section is a "just in case" storage line. It holds another chest's worth of whatever of the main recycled materials.
Line 2 is the overflow from line 1 and also the overflow from main storage. There are requesters that only work over 10k of an item. This is also where I can dump custom items.
Line 3 is trash. It's intent is to void things, but I'll take any quality items I get.
Nope. The free luxury trip and making your son happy are tempting but being 3rd wheel to your cheating ex and the other man would ruin everything. You would likely be in a foul mood and your son would not enjoy being around you.
Oh, that's why my copper line gets clogged with bots.
Retrofit my early copper lines to be inside my roboport network. Missed that inserter, lol.
Not familiar with the show, but I like the char design.

Do you leave reminders when you have to stop playing?
Had to stop for IRL reasons. Was about to build a coal depot but I knew that saving at a blank screen would be confusing.
Sex Type Thing by Stone Temple Pilots. Great music, love STP, but it's basically about raping someone.
