from my understanding it was for a fulgora setup that does direct recycling into train wagons (?)

Dunno. It should be in his GoF base

from my understanding it was for a fulgora setup that does direct recycling into...
don’t understand why it would require int^2 tho
timid wing
¯_(ツ)_/¯
tropic basin
Recycling into train wagons is optional though. The FFF said "interruptception is required at one planet".
tardy quarry
“crucial”
I didn’t even find trains being crucial on any planet tbh
maybe Fulgora
because u have to use elevated rails for the vault scrap
tropic basin
oh yeah, crucial. brain has volatile memory only 
Kovarex and Klonan wrote that FFF, I guess that explains why nobody on the team knows for what it's needed.
tardy quarry
I don’t even use trains
misty falcon
I use them eventually
What do you think we'll see on Friday?
I speculate more "here are some interesting bugs we fixed" and maybe a tech FFF.
Otherwise, I'd expect a "the future... we'll be doing less FFFs..."
tropic basin
last FFF has been "fixing bugs, nothing to show you this week"
I don't think they'll do that again, repetition and such
viscid ferry
they've only shown Aquilo 5 FFF's ago so i think it's too soon to predict a new planet FFF tomorrow
undone spade
That last word is so hurtful
I am not speaking about "please"

That last word is so hurtful
I am not speaking about "please"
I said girl only because I'm a girl, it was not relevant to the "six years old" part
If I was a boy I'd say "six year old boy"
undone spade
That does remove all of it thanks
I simply assume everybody here is a boy it's terrible
misty falcon
Translation error
tropic basin
I speculate another FFF next week.
misty falcon
Yea, Wube is a big-ish company. We probably won't get a Terraria/Stardew "Oh I was stuck making the new game, so here's a huge content pack for the old game"
shrewd citrus
hidden dune
Fixed translation for in-game searching is really big in my opinion
misty falcon
No idea what next FFF will be. The only thing I can think is future plans or things they want to fix.
silk citrus
next fff: factorio battle pass. A monthly subscription where you get a new planet every month
crystal dune
Skins for your weapons, armors and vehicles 😭
Maybe even buildings
But those are only in the platinum++ version of the pass
misty falcon
So what's today? More bugs? Dunno
dreamy eagle
Hmm. Feels like something else
tawny snow
I'd like to see some misc ideas that didn't make the cut
chilly cloak
the factorian sun is around 4706*C
hearty aurora
What do we got today?
tropic basin
Something small and nice like last week?
When I saw the mech armour for the first time, I thought "this looks a bit like a sarcophagus".
The pre-launch FFF calls it that as well. And last weeks drop pod FFF built upon that, even though the passenger pods have been scrapped.
I like it when all the dots connect.
dreamy eagle
My first thought was WH40K dreadnaughts. And well, those are walking sarcophagi
misty falcon
Science drag&drop? Dunno not a lot to talk about I guess
I'm guessing more tech stuff, which is fun now that the game is out
🙏
serene sage
promethium cheese?
misty falcon
Which one?
radiant quiver
smells delicious
tropic basin
Factorio 2.0 is still a bit on the buggy side
late sentinel
I really want promethium to be reworked. It eats UPS, has weird exploits, and just generally is not that fun in it's overarching mechanics.
I will tell you guys it is WAY better than it was at the LAN.
misty falcon
What's the promethium exploit? I heard that it exists but don't know what it is
serene sage
two of them, apparently: using belts to store promethium more densely than cargo bays (and belt weaving to like triple that), making it viable to ship back to Nauvis for crafting into science instead of shipping out biter eggs; and recycling overgrowth soil to store biter eggs without them spoiling.
both of these avoid the "make a fast platform to get biter eggs to the edge of the system before they spoil" challenge of promethium science
tropic basin
overgrowth soil should also be more dense per inventory slot, no?
late sentinel
It’s funny because I don’t actually think storing the chunks makes any sense. I don’t think it’s ‘good’ under the current balance
serene sage
I don't think it's "good" but being able to store 24 stacks of promethium per tile is still a bit much
(and you can get more than 24 with good design)
tardy quarry
I think soilfill should be self recycling items like landfill
it’s also feels a bit weird that nutrients can be recycled to spoilages instead of self recycling
misty falcon
yet fish and eggs recycle into themselves
tardy quarry
is there any other assembler recipes that self recycles apart from landfill?
crystal dune
It’s funny because I don’t actually think storing the chunks makes any sense. I ...
I mean I sincerely hope it's not good
I was under the impression that it is good, and that's what I disliked so much about it
If it sucks, then all is well
misty falcon
Was it here that someone talked about the biter dating sim?

misty falcon
😦
tropic basin
Not much left to speculate now :/
doesn't help that the majority of players is on the biter genocide side of things
misty falcon
Not to mention no more weekly FFFs
tropic basin
There's like 200 FFFs I haven't read once, so that'll last me bit. It'll be over eventually though :(
hybrid briar
doesn't help that the majority of players is on the biter genocide side of thing...
I miss the days of the graphics requiring some imagination and the playerbase being here predominantly for the puzzle-solving
glad the game had the success to justify the DLC but still .. rr :P
tropic basin
I'm predominantly here for the puzzle solving. But I'm relativly new here, got the game when it was already at 1.1.
Puzzles got a lot more interesting in 2.0 because there's more ways to do things.
cobalt blaze
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Floating squids off the shores of Aquilo. I watched Quality-calculators glitter in the dark near #375. All those Fridays will be lost in time, like nutrients in chests. Time to die.

https://www.reddit.c...
to answer your quetstion, the first reference to "biter dating sim" in this discord was Klonan and the second was raiguard.
tropic basin
Soul-Burn was pushing the biter dating sim before the release afaik, that was a rhethorical question.
tropic basin
also, Klonan said "biter books, fish dating sim"
Didn't you change your name to biter dating sim?
misty falcon
Nope not me
wind sable
i wasnt the one who originally came up with that, i should add
just spoke of it more than most people
tropic basin
because it doesn't make sense. we don't have fasting inserters nor burning inserters
lots of filtering inserters though
static root
Fasting inserters are fish-powered but refuse to eat between sunrise and sunset.
misty falcon
Bulking inserters get stronger over time
"Stack" is not an adjective. "Stacking" can be.
It's a deverbal adjective
wind sable
burning inserters actually works
longing inserters wish for the day when they are placed down from your inventory
misty falcon
burnering*
viscid ferry
leaden socket
burning inserters actually works
Sounds like an inserter set on fire
wind sable
The burner inserter is just an gear and a plate right? I wouldn't be surprised if it was
