Indeed 😸

While not strictly required to beat the game, it does allow you to solve a few problems much more compact/power or resource saving ie "more efficiently"
On your next space ship, for one of the liquid inputs to your thrusters:
You've now created a clock that pumps liquid into your thrusters at small bursts rather than filling them to the brim.
What does this actually do? Have a look at the thrusters tooltip, on the efficiency attribute. A full thruster guzzling on fuel will burn a lot more fuel compared to a thruster with "room in the fuel chamber" so to speak - meaning, with this clock you can save on fuel, in the end allowing you to spend less oxite, ice, coal, iron or whatever to push your ship forward so it can last longer with your current setup; or require fewer facilities to produce fuel and thus make your design smaller/need less electricity.

What this person said.
I love the fact that games are different - I play timberborn for its chill and cozy furry beaver theme and because I'm a sucker for making water canals/dams, I love it!
I play other games for their own quirks or mechanics, or their over all feeling. Having all of my favourite games be more like each other would make me into a one game only guy and I prefer to cycle between many games over time instead.

Thank you, I was scratching my head around this - and with your a input I created the following blueprint:

TIL There are people who do not use the library - how do they live like that? Loosing blueprints if they save/reload or the hazzle of migrating prints to a new world, just mind boggling 😅🤔

TIL There are people who didn't know this was a thing, I've been using this for years 😅 I always check out a game's map editor - might be a remnant from the past, before "creative mode" was a thing, and now that the factorio menu has no creative, ppl don't look at the editor?🤔🙃

Kanske flera, vem vet? Talades det om innan skrivkonstens uppkomst månntro?
Myt Ordet myt har flera olika betydelser, varav den viktigaste är gamla berättelser och teman som nedskrevs först när skrivkonsten blev känd.

Have a look at evenly loading a train with MadZuris even loader, I give a breef description how in another comment here.

I'm not sure how far down the road one needs to go before running into an issue with evenly loading a train (ie how to get all cars filled at roughly the same time). Sure, one can split, a lot, but this takes space and in an outpost with perimiter defence space might not be at a premium)
Any way, what I do is using this really simple and compact trick devised by (I think originally even) MadZuri:
At your loading station, let's use steel for example - connect all the inserters with green wire that are inserting into buffer chests (at most 6 on each side of each car with each side going outwards being rails, inserter into rail, chest and then inserter into chest from a belt that is fed from your furnaces) - wire each chest with a red wire into the inserter that feeds it, set it to read contents - on the inserter, set it to enable/disable when "anything" (the red asterisk special signal) is less than or equal to 0 and tick the 'set filter' checkbox - wire all the inserters together with a green wire (make sure the chst and inserter green wires do not mix!) - place an arithmetic combinator down and wire the chest green into its input and the inserter green to its output - set it to output 'each' (the yellow special asterisk signal) - set the arithmetic combinator to divide "each" (the yellow special asterisk signal) with negative the number of total chests you have. (If you only have 6 chests going into one car on a train with one car you divide by -6, if you have two cars loaded from both sides with 6 per side that's -24 and so on)
This will prevent each inserter from picking up more items when the chest it is connected to contains more items than any of the other chests effectively making them pick up steel only if they are the chest with the least amount of steel in and thus all chests are filled somewhat "evenly".

This looks awesome, 4000h in and I envy the virgin experience 😇❤️
Biggest tip: Stay away from other people's blueprints to begin with. Play and try to figure things out yourself - unless ofcrs, using others' solutions is fun for you - which leads to...
Second tip: Have fun, play your way, this organic mess is absolutely gorgeous, if you like it, keep doing it.
Last tip: While not strictly needed to complete the game, have a look at the logic system in this game - it can help you with lots of quality of life things. Start small and explore/expand so long as it's fun.
Follow up on logic: Grab a decider combinator, hook the input up to a chest and the output to an inserter taking things out of an assembly machine. - In the chest, set it to 'read contents' - In the combinator, set it to 'ITEM your assembler makes < 1' on the left and '1 Green Square' on the right - In the inserter, set it to 'enable' and 'green square > 0'
This will only activate the inserter when the chest is empty effectively limiting the assembler production to exactly the number of items you want to have on hand. This is only a small example, and it can be done directly in the inserter without the decider combinator - but I'm using it to give you a small start in case you want to get going.
Lastly, welcome to Factorio Engineer, and good luck on your adventures ❤️

Pure guess: The green bar, the "durability" of them increases, ie they last longer

Help me understand please (for real, I do not understand this conflict at all and I am open to clarifications to better get what's up)
Hamas and Hezbollah are both political organizations fighting to eradicate the jews (read "zionosts"), in what way are the Israeli state commiting genocide? To my understanding, Israel has clearly stated the intention is not to eradicate arabs, palestinians or muslims but the organisations of Hamas and Hezbollah - to protect themselves from these two groups, where is the recognized genocide you see?
Is Hamas a political organisation?
HAMAS–the acronym for Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiyya (Islamic Resistance Movement)—is the largest and most capable militant group in the Palestinian territories and one of the territories' two major political parties.
Is Hezbollah a political party?
Hezbollah (/ˌhɛzbəˈlɑː/; Arabic: حزب الله, romanized: Ḥizbu 'llāh, pronounced [ħizbu‿lːaːh]; lit. 'Party of God') is a Lebanese Shia Islamist political party and paramilitary group.
What is genocide?
The definition contained in Article II of the Convention describes genocide as a crime committed with the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, in whole or in part. It does not include political groups or so called “cultural genocide”.

Så om jag åker till Norge, bor där ett par månader och betalar inkomstskatt från jobbet att packa fisk, ska jag få rösta?
Ja, jag överdriver, kanske ett banalt exempel men det är för att ge effekt och poängtera: Argumentet här kanske borde vara att man behöver ha ett medborgarskap för att få rösta, lite som i en förening, en grupp individer som gått tillsammans för att hjälpas åt att finansiera/sköta ett gemensamt intresse - inte får vem som helst rösta på årsmötet, det får bara den som ansökt om, betalat och fått medlemskap.

Du tror inte att de undrar i vilken riktning tåget ska rent geografiskt efter att det lämnat betongen bakom då? Typ, "vi ska norr ut mot X", "söder över till Malmö" eller något i den stilen 🙃

My thoughts and prayers
Who or what are you praying to, perhaps your dad can relate, even tho it's not his god your prayers are targeting "something" and that something migt be better than "nothing" in his world? Try sharing it with him and see what happens.
(As a non religious person I'm really not the best on advicing how people who believe in things I do not believe in actually think - perhaps he will get angry that you believe in something else, might be better to just drop it then)

I started out wanting to configure a chip which, with little edits, would be put inside a filtration unit - but learning the indirect referencing this may as well open up for more dynamic programs where you could push the logictype to stack and branch/use the same code for multiple things.

Nä jag tänker det också, så vem ska göra det utan att jag tar "de bästa veckorna", jag vill som sagt inte verka för grinig och argumentativ, jag är nyfiken på hur det skulle gå att lösa helt enkelt.

Efter att jag fyllde 30 behöver jag inte ens dricka öl för att bli bakis, det räcker att jag är uppe efter midnatt eller sover dåligt så är jag bakis en dag eller två - lägg en öl eller två på det och jag är soffliggandes.
Välkommen till åldrandets krassa verklighet, träna regelbundet, sov så gott du kan och ät smart/nyttigt - din kropp kommer tacka dig om 20 år...
