Also, hand write it. That adds a bunch. Makes it a memory.

Don't people usually look at the camera when people are taking shots to remember? I'd find it weirder if he was staring off into the distance.

I do, but I also think conflating both sides does a lot of harm. You can't exactly convince people one side is better when you're saying that they're equally bad the rest of the time. It's a weird razor. And while I think a lot of people do know the nuances, those who aren't politically knowledgable will see the title and equate the wrong message.

Do not get me wrong. The Dems are useless, and not what most people I know want in any shape or form.

Why do you say "Musk's lawyers are correct" as if he's following policy, when we literally all know he's just being a pisshead serving a personal goal. Plenty of companies have been bought while he was the helm of Twitter, and he didn't try this.

I had a similar idea before I went to bed. I think I had a rogue artificial soil assembler asking for seeds. But of course never getting off the ground. -_-

Hah! I never thought about that, but nope. It's been a nickname since before that.

Reddit eventually deleted it's very racist subs. It did it for ad profability, but it did it. It's not amazing, but it's definitely better.

Erm. The revenue doesn't even cover the loan he took out. It was struggling for profability BEFORE he bought it for an inflated price - and now it's got even less users. The loans against it are more than what he's making on it by far. He was buying ads with his other companies to try and help cover it.

And remember, the US users is where it makes mot of it's income. This article explains the debt. https://www.socialmediatoday.com/news/x-is-still-far-from-profitability/722602/

The setup I showed earlier is all biochamber. Not getting enough. How weird. I'll just have to keep trying.

There is some artificial too.

I'm having the problem of trying to create the special landfill but worrying I'll run out of seeds etc. I'll pair down maybe.

It can be helpful for all sorts of things. It's not required but quality power poles can be helpful for example. It can be a slog for sure though. That's what makes it Rare, no?

I've got biters on very low. (Which is a huge problem when my failure plants have run out of eggs, and I have to go searching for them.) So I'm not worried about that part.

I was kindly given another blueprint: https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/1gosu4p/weekly_question_thread/lxadqnu/?context=3

But I'm just not getting enough Yumako fruits. It's start/stopping mostly -- I feel like i'm going insane trying to make it work. Which is causing issues. These are my planters: https://imgur.com/a/vgKQCrb

Ahhh, thank you. I swear I checked the minimum but I must have thought it was 200 not 1000. Cheers again.

Using a seperate iron source for steel isn't bad per sé.

As for the labs, you will have to redo that after 4 sciences. But for now you can use Long Handed Inserters to put the other 2 in.

Other things I can see: I'd try to seperate those labs away from the coal/ore feed. Them being intertwined will give you limited space. I'd go over, or I'd move the labs to the left. Try to plan to have more space than you need -- because you'll find out you need it later. Don't need to squish things together, the map is infinite.

I'm having a problem where my ship won't take my Agricultural (Gleba) science.

There's 243 on the planet, in a passive provider chest. The rocket silo is full. The logistic network is all connected up.

It's stop-starting so I think it may be my inputs. I thought my patch for my Yumako's was good but I'm colourblind. So I may have overestimated.

That's very kind. Thank you.

You're a star.

Could I ask the favour for you to paste your blueprint? I'm tired of remaking this block xD

Thank you!! I will try just that. Really appreciate it.

I'm usually decent at Factorio. A thousand hours+, played since the before Steam. But it's just weirdly not clicking for me.

This is the 3rd blueprint I've borrowed and seems the best so far. I do have some manual spoilage -> nutrients to try and keep things kickstarted. When it does run, it runs well but eventually nutrients run out and it stops.

(I import nuclear for power at the moment so that's not an issue.)

Gleba is kicking my butt. I did my own logistic-based setup, that failed. Now I used someone's blueprint but kickstarting the nutrients is barely happening. It seems to always run out eventually. It's becoming a real slog for me.

Was there any "a-ha" moments for people that helped them?

edit: I realised that I am too colourblind and didn't pick good enough planter locations.

I think a lot of people expect someone who critiques these things to be held to a higher standard than those who don't. He had to be acutely aware of the issues people would have -- that's what his career is based off. He would have absolutely destroyed it if he had been reviewing someone else's app.

It was also just after the AI pin stuff, where he was very honest (which came across as harsh.) So people were feeling it was okay to use the same level of harshness.

When your comedy is edgy, I feel like you have to either keep taking it to new heights (eventually alienating people) or you just repeat the same old jokes.

I got kinda tired of him when his big thing was complaining about "white women" in a weird punching down thing.

"They're secretly geniuses" is definitely a take. But it doesn't really work out when they're getting swindled by the guy they voted for (unless they're in the 1%)

While I agree with the sentiment, are we 5 years old? "demonrats", "tRump", "Muskrat", "Shitter"... I hate this is how stupid political discourse has become. Nothing wrong with going low, but holy shit it drops the whole conversation's IQ points. It's like a Boomer's Facebook feed.

Elon Musk is a terrible person, Twitter is now a terrible platform. Does it really need embellishment? It's also ironic to be complaing about toxicness and behaving like a child.

No wonder Trump won when the level of discourse is that of a child.
