#uint32 rocket
timber owl
i'll take that in pride
marsh cloud
clickbait title, getting 1 less than what we pay for 
timber owl
literally unusable 😔
i did forget to include a feature though, an infinite 1+% prod boost tech for rocket parts... thats unlocked after you launch one rocket 
untold magnet
I'm just imagining what this would be like if rocket_parts_required was a uint64 instead
timber owl
essenitally impossible, my guess
untold magnet
blasphemy
timber owl
like, i cant even imagine how much you'd need for a uint32 rocket
-# 43 billion of LDS, BC, and rocket fuel.. which is, a lot
however, the real question i have is why its even uint32
like im not complaining or campaigning for it to change, at all, but im curious why

-# 43 billion of LDS, BC, and rocket fuel.. which is, a lot
That just sounds like normal material requirements in GT:NH

however, the real question i have is *why* its even uint32
why wouldnt it be
theres no advantage to making it smaller
untold magnet
but there's no benefit to making it smaller
timber owl
but why designate a large number in the first place
again, not complaining in anyway, but it just seems out of place compared to the smaller uint's that are usually used
fiery tapir
its odd coming from the opotmisation-kings that are wube
Cache lines matter more than just "make it smaller"
So it's definitely a number they can squeeze if they need to hit a cache line, but making it smaller if they don't need to is pointless
-# I am talking out my ass here, regurgitating something I vaguely remember
timber owl
hrm, that makes sense
compact whale
when is 2^33 coming out
timber owl
when wube makes it an uint64
untold magnet
when is 2^33 coming out
never
compact whale
then i look forward to asking when is 2^65 coming out
(I'm so sorry I'm like this)
wintry prawn
when wube makes it an uint64
you could do it in control stage, probably
fiery tapir
Oh god I see it
A lookup by entity id to number of 'completed' rockets
And just resetting the silo once one it's completed via the warning lights (script) trigger
timber owl
fiery tapir
All the way until the number tracked is at uint32
timber owl
considering the fact that my current build would take 60 years to make a single rocket, i think a uint32 rocket is all good
wintry prawn
considering the fact that my current build would take *60* years to make a singl...
it should be faster than that
if you're making ~800 parts per second
timber owl
Q6 beacons of three different types, filled with Q6 T4 speed modules, with a Q6 rocket silo - 133k rocket parts/min
or about 2.2 parts per second
timber owl
min
wintry prawn
at 133k/min i get 22 days
wintry prawn
*min*
i think you're off by several orders of magnitude somewhere
133k rocket parts per minute is ~2.2k per second
wintry prawn
(2^32) / 2200 = ~2 million seconds
wintry prawn
yeah 2 billion seconds is 63 years
but that's 3 orders of magnitude higher than the actual value
timber owl
whoops! off by a slight amount, but its essentially a rounding error
still, 22 days with the set-up i had is insane
i did try to make it use loaders instead of inserters, but i couldnt be assed to retrofit them
but that should mean higher throughput, and more* space for beacons
untold magnet
i did try to make it use loaders instead of inserters, but i couldnt be assed to...
I've found that when doing stuff like this, loaders get really buggy
quartz marten
Did someone mentioned the usage of 
comes in handy
Ngl even at maximum speed still takes time to make
timber owl
with level 1000 rocket part productivity, i was able to get the timer down to 9 days worth of 24/7 production
marsh cloud
that almost sounds feasable
untold magnet
with max speed and max prod, it would take less than one and a half days
timber owl
whats the max speed value?
untold magnet
+32767%
timber owl
huh, neat
untold magnet
and I'm actually not entirely sure about max prod, productivity research seems to be able to go higher than prod modules
untold magnet
I guess they're separate values or something
wintry prawn
and I'm actually not entirely sure about max prod, productivity research seems t...
prod mods can hit +100% in a rocket silo
wintry prawn
with just modules, the max is +32767%
oh huh
past anvil
I showed this to my friends
one thing led to another and now we're doing this (with some tweaks to make it not take 28 fucking years)
