get better pc for less money
I don’t like pcs
Yeah they are. But I have a stupid ass custody schedule I legally have to abide by, so portability is important to me
a 2k laptop has like 1/4 the performance (max.)of a pc with the same price
Yeah
so its literally cheaper to buy 2 pcs for 1k than one laptop for 2k and you get better performance
- upgradability
Hmm. I’ll think about it when the time comes…
I have like 3 pcs standing around lol
one primary, one of my old ones that became a 12TB server and a tiny one I can take with me (laptop like) but with desktop parts
What do you use the server for?
Ahh
Intel sucks tbh
wooo amd gang
I’ve actually never used an intel cpu so I wouldn’t know lol
How long ago?
So a long time ago
Hmm
Hmmmm
Idk
Alright back to oni
Who wants a full colony pic?
sure
ooooh nice
Rate it out of 10
8
What needs improved?
water at the bottom of flipped could be centralized
sulphric atmosphere might need fixing
Lol the sulfur def needs fixed
Very high quality lol
It’s funny to me how everyone has different styles of building
yeah
mine is compact and yours is chonk
yeah lol
bouta tame these bad boys
nice!
weird
I didn’t change anything about this asteroid so that is weird
Guess it is normal worldgen
these guys are close enough I can make a two in one tamer
sick
The colony on that asteroid is vital to my colonies progression as a whole
This cluster is so water poor
yeah lol
There are three water geysers across the entire cluster if you don’t count the hsv
damn
My bad, 4
Two csvs, a cool slush, and a water geyser
my geothermal powerplant hasnt ran at all lol
bruh lol
lmao
I’m getting a little bored of this save tbh
Wbu?
idk yet i just got to the good part
can i make you one?
Sure, desolands start pls
kk
Make it slightly smaller size, everything else can be random
Yeah
Make a new one, it’s probably the two volcanic traits that fucked it up
same size
Okay
Oo, okay, going in
123fps paused…
Lots of water
well, not really...
looks like a volcano overwrited the csb
*csv
Our tp has no water as well
Make something new charmich… I want at least a csv lol
I suppose I could use the oil wells for water
This is my first deso run in a while
there is a csv
where
post a pic of ur spawn
Ik
This is odd
Lol
I’m gonna stick to it anyway
Send a zoomed out pic of your spawn
Yeah the only thing that’s different is the cab
*csv
I have no csv, you have a csv
wtf
ping sgt?
Nah he told us yesterday that certain worldgen mods can affect this
I’ll try the preset again
kk
Dude the flipped cluster didn’t make my fans run but this cluster is
lmao
Yeah I didn’t get the csv again
SNDST-C-1268929251-0-3A
I ain’t playing terrania
put the number part in the seed area when using cgm
I’m gonna just play without the csv, it could be fun
Everything else is the same so it isn’t that big of a deal
cya
Bye
You should stick to playing the flipped seed, so Jim didn’t waste all that time for nothing
yeah i will
Been celebrating New Year's, away from my laptop. Happy New year, fellow mouth breathers!
New co op seed?
Time spent having fun isn't time wasted, I am up for a new seed
As long as all three of us hop on it
That’s what we are doing
It’s the exact same seed, only difference is I didn’t get a csv and charmich did, so whenever we are ready have charmich make you’re seed
I’m spending time with family a bit rn, but I’ll hop on in a bit
Alright. Exact same seed, huh? Do we have oil Wells this time around?
Or do we need to dupe oil again?
Nah we got oil
It’s the exact same seed for all of us
We are starting on desolands this time
If you want to liquid dupe you can, no restrictions on it this time I guess
But there isn’t really a need to
If charmich makes you the world you’ll get a csv, if I make it you won’t get a csv so you have to pick
If I don't get a csv, what do I get?
h a desolands start? Perfect. Been there before.
You could try the cluster preset again
Do we get teleporters?
Oh. What was sources does it have?
None
No water? Really?
If you choose no csv you have no water in the planetoid
Not even in the teleport planetoid?
Yeah, that’s why you want charmich to make the save
I better do my research on metallic swampy and adjust my strategy.
I realise my colonies were addicted to water, and now I despise its absence
Lol
Again, charmich could make it for you or j can give you the preset
And you can try the preset
When starting in metallic swampy, the teleporter has a kg/s of water
Lemme check what resources the metallic swampy had
However, we aren’t starting on swampy, and the csv was overwritten during worldgen
Metallic swampy and swamp biomes.
That’s it
Plus metal volcanoes
And nat gas
Nat gas? Finally. I have never tamed one of those. I don't care about having a csv, I will just develop an alternative.
What about oxygen though?
Yeah I’m gonna use a boiler for water
Boiler?
Spom is and always will be the best route no matter the situation.
Never built one, but I k ow their existence
They’re simple builds
Everything in this game is simple if you look at it in steps and not one product.
I still can't fathom I have 540ish hours and I am still considered new
No offense: You’re not new but from what I’ve seen your skills are fairly… new ish. Considering the lack of moderately advanced designs built anyway
I built my own geothermal plant and it worked pretty well in my last desolands run
I don't do crazy builds but given enough time I can figure things out.
Geothermal plants are one automation wire, I’d say they are basic builds
My last colony before flipped was crazy
I’ll have to gen you some pictures
I don't do much automation, mostly something above basic but using small simple circuits you can do a lot
I remember my geothermal plant had... 4 or 5 simple automation circuits
A magma dropper, some temperature controls, some bits for igneous rock handling and transport.
Hold up I’m getting you the pics
Oh boy
Lol
Lots of pics
I’m getting you every main overlay for my main asteroid and then just normal pics for the rest
And some back story
Technically I started metallic swampy but I left asap. The pics follow this order: Desolands, deso pipes, deso gas pipes, deso power, deso shipping, deso automation, then for rad ocean I will just show a normal pic, normal pic for swampy, normal pic for frozen forest, normal pic for flipped, normal pic for water roid, normal pic for niobium planet.
oh and water roid
and niobium
That’s my most recent proper colony, and probably my fav colony to have played. Got bored of it tho
Cycle 800 btw
So @icy lichen want me to make the save(you lose csv) or do you want to try out the cluster preset? Sgt probably fixed the issue
I just built a performance optimized badlands cluster
the issue is somewhere within the game's data loading code
not in cgm
Ahhh
but no idea what exactly causes it
there are a lot of game data fallback handler errors in the log
Ah, interesting
@violet maple I re-engineered your cluster a little bit. I kept all of the twists you had, just changed deso to remove the volcanic activity. Do you wish to play this or would you rather we stick to yours?
I still didn’t get a csv…
Fuck that shit, I’ll stick with yours then
What are those
Gimme the preset. If it doesn't work, I will just ask you to generate a colony for me.
Holy shit my clothes smell like smoked meat after all this grilling and sitting by fires
Just got home
Booting up the craptop
I forgot, do I need to drag the preset into a game file or just download it?
Download it and drag it into a game file
I sent a video yesterday
Most of the button clicking is in game so it will work for Linux
As anyone that knows me might know, I’m the goat at desolands
It’s my favorite asteroid lol
It’s better than terrania for beginners tbh
i love desolands
I also really enjoy flipped after playing it once
yeah flipped is fun too
i still have a lot of clusters to go through though before i decide on a favourite
I’ve played every SO cluster but not many of the classic style clusters
Actually, last time I played classic style clusters I was relatively new to the game
Did you load up the laptop yet?
Why does your bio say lover of APUs
Can you get it? My internet refuses to load any messages past a point
Yes
Neat, but garbage
Not garbage at all
The only APUs I have experience with were garbage
The 780m in your 7840hs is capable of gaming at 1080p with low to medium settings
In graphically demanding titles
Even the previous gen vega ones weren't really bad, they could game on low
But before this I had bad experience with APUs
Well, I use a radeon r3 so bad experience with them is the only thing I have. But then, look at the stra deck!
It didn’t show the file explorer in that video
But all you do is paste the file into the tab that opens up
Which tab?
The folder button
Oh ok
Pretty neat, hopefully I will achieve such feats at some point myself.
"Isn't that bad" is an understatement. You are rocking the most powerful APU out there, and it's performance is absolutely crazy.
Stuck at the klei logo
Damn, rip
Waiting
Lol, is it really that good?
Yes
Did you do research on it last night or something? Lol
It competes with the laptop 1650 in compute, though it lags behind it in gaming due to memory limitations
Yeah
I've been following the APU market for quite a while
Oh, wow. That interested in them?
Computers in general, but particularly APUs
Got it
Enabling CGM, restarting the game.
Yeah, even the 780m is overkill for oni
It’s a waste of power to use my NVIDIA gpu, when the power could be allocated to my cpu instead
Only a waste to use my NVIDIA gpu in oni, any other time I’ll let advanced Optimus do it’s thing and turn on my 4050
760m would be just as good, albeit slightly less power efficient for a number of reasons related to how electronics work (diminishing returns in the frequency/power consumption curve)
Though you could turn on that 4050 and free up a little bit of extra power for the cpu side of your apu. Small boost to fps
Though probably not by much
I caught my cpu being clocked at 4.8GHz while starting up oni earlier today. If only it did that while I was playing…
Ah, didn’t think of that
7840hs has a max boost of 5.1ghz single core, my guess is it will probably do 4.6-4.8ghz sustained on 2 cores.
O usually catch it at 4-4.4GHz during oni
Idk why it was clocked so high during boot up
Yeah, igpu also uses a bit of power
And that igpu power co sumption rises a bit once it starts displaying more than the klei logo
Ah, but wouldn’t my 4050 use more power?
It probably will
Whenever I did turn it on manually cos only went up by like 5-10
Idk by how much though.
*fps
As I said, using the dgpu would only be a minor uplift in fps
Tried generating cluster, game crashed again
Unless I’m something that is graphically demanding
I’m playing cards with my mom, I’ll hook you up when we are done
Yes.
Sorry for the wait lol
Don't worry about it
I guess I can live without a csv
Are there any space POI'S close by with possible water sources?
Meanwhile imma look at the metallic swampy so I can better describe on the starting dupes
Not that I know of, maybe on other parts of the cluster
Charmich are you around?
I know we have oassise and it has water
How close is that?
There are also other parts of moonlet cluster that has water such as frozen forest
Steam engine range
Good enough
You can also make a petroleum boiler for that 750g/s bonus water
Assuming one way or return trip?
Full trip
So 5 tiles?
like 4
10 decided by 2 gives us 5 tiles of range assuming we want to return
Yes but not everything is an 5 tile distance
I know, but we are talking within, not at
Within means this or less
Anyways
Hmu when you generate the cluster
I know
Well, gotta go to sleep. Cya tomorrow!
There is a polluted water vent on my desolands
12 pm to now
Wow
Okay, I’ll dm you the thing
You got a piss vent and a steam vent and I got none of those? wtf
This game hates me lol
Lmao yeah
Alright I’m loading oni
Gonna make jim’s so long
*save
@violet maple
Send a full roid pic
All of our geysers are different
Except for the volcanoes
But everything else is the same
That is so weird
Are we on different game versions?
Hmm it isn’t really a same seed run if every geyser is different
I made a new cluster for us
You’ll need the empty worlds mod
Actually maybe we should go back to flipped
Nah
Actually maybe I’m in that stage where I’m just bored of oni
Yeah let’s go back to flipped
Back to your save
Well, this save has made me realise that playing without teleporters Mey be more fun than playing with them. Makes rockets a lot more crucial
yeah this is my first time playing without teleporters
ye back to save
Cycle 34: basic infrastructure done, setting up my ranches. I have amassed 4 tons of pwater, capacity for just 1 more before emergency measures have to be taken. I need somewhere to channel all that pwater to
Insulating the left tundra biome
I am thinking of opening up a way through the magma via compression
nice
However, I will need a lot of igneous rock for that
Current supply is 11 tons
This is the fastest I have ever been progressing
Can someone show me a pic of their colonies before you decided to obliterate the magma biome? I need to find a suitable route.
I need to get a shower but I really don’t want to lol
You should
Showers are pretty darn relaxing
Now I need to find a big obsidian deposit to mine
Core scouting anyone?
How do I compress the magma vertically though?
Are we gonna hop onto the January monthly map or stick to this seed? I’m fine either way
I actually hate them lol
i dont mind
We will have to see what asteroid it ends up being and then put it to a vote
Shower done
I am up for hopping onto the January seed if we all do it
Okay
I’m honestly hoping it’s rad ocean or desolands
Those are two we haven’t done yet
I just hope it is a map with easy access to space and gold amalgam
I hope it’s something challenging like rad ocean
Not sure about rad ocean, never done any start other than temperate
It’s fun
It’s just as easy as temperate considering I always build a spom asap
The real kicker on rad ocean is the lack of everything except water
Yeah, truly astonishing how much water rad ocean has
It is my main source of water on my most successful desolands run
I am just going to play this asteroid in the mean time.
@violet maple are you on linux/mac ?
He’s windows 11
hm
I am on linux
We know lol
@icy lichen is that what you’re laptop sounds like? https://youtube.com/shorts/OhmrmVP_Fro?si=5NR_1jE9UPIvn0p3
Oh yeah lol
Mine is super duper silent as well, almost sounds like the pattering of rain on a metal roof during a heavy thunderstorm
Guys I’ve made a breakthrough
My ram is bottlenecking my laptop… a lot, and I plan to upgrade to 32 gigs. Too bad one stick of 16 costs $60… where am I supposed to get $120?
uh save up, do chores for money
go around neighbors asking if you can do stuff like mow their lawn for money or smth
The most I’ve ever gotten from working was $60 and it was doing the dishes every day for an entire month.
bruh
In winter…
Ive got a plan
Too warm for snow
I haven’t been to my grandmas at all. Usually she gives me $60 so that’s one stick, and maybe my aunt who usually gets me something will give me another $60… it’s a stretch but maybe
And even if I can only buy one stick, if it’s the same speed and every thing 24 gigs would be better than 16 yeah?
yeah
Especially since I’ve firmly diagnosed ram is a bottleneck for my laptop, the only bottleneck
My cpu could easily do so much more if I wasn’t stuck with 16 gigs
Bruh ddr4 is so much fucking cheaper 😭
It’s half as much…
I’ll just have to live with these 16 gigs until I get 24. Somehow..
I’m gonna take my laptop apart tomorrow for a peak at those in sides… I’ll get the proper screw drivers and such, then take a look. Warranty isn’t voided if I do so
From what I’ve seen it’s only voided if you damage something inside, you’re perfectly able to take off the back to maintain fans, upgrade storage and stuff
24 will function in flex mode
but one stick of ddr5 is pseudo dual channel, so i guess the impact will be less severe
I was gonna have my 8 gig stick that came with the laptop plus a 16 gig one from corsair
Alright guys, I’m doing a stupid. Fortnite on battery life max settings
lol nevermind
January seed has arrived, shall we?
And it is a forest start
Looks pretty neat, I say we give it a try
yeah i will give it a try
@icy lichen this is what my laptops inards looked like
Now I'm jealous
Lol
I tried scanning the QR codes and it just pulls up some random google search
I’m gonna take it apart again later today to get the exact ram stuff
Normally the ram is accessible via a smaller panel
Yeah it’s under the silver stuff inside my laptop, but I didn’t have a smaller panel. It’s a gaming laptop, not a standard work one
That silver stuff is the smaller panel
It probably acts as a heatsink or protector
Sometimes it isn't a panel tho
But it does look solid in your case
It is solid
Then it is a panel
Ish
God, that cooling
Dual fans, multiple heat pipes...
Wait you also have a second NVMe slot
Yeah
i have 2
I’m considering putting my old ssd from my old desktop into there for some extra storage
Oh
depends if it is the correct dimensions because in mine the two nvme slots take different sized drives
Idk, I was gonna just try to fit it in and if it didn’t fit leave it
that works
Looks like a 2242 slot
But I have a tb of storage as in, so I’m thinking about just leaving it in the old desktop
The main thing I want to upgrade is ram but as we all know I don’t have money for that
Yes, the cooling is great
But you can upgrade when you can.
Yeah
Gimme a sec
This laptop is very upgradable I’d say
Compared to other laptops, yes. Compared to pc, no.
Obviously
Pcs don’t have soldered components…
I think there is one laptop company called framework or something where the components can be upgraded
Framework is cool
yeah i have heard of them
They are soon releasing a 16" laptop with upgradeable gpu
That’s cool. If only that kind of stuff was the standard
Price asf for its specs but long term is it worth it
My next laptop might have to be framework, but I’ve had a good experience with Acer so far.
Ignore the fingerprints that have been burned into the "heatsink"
The internals of my laptop (14")
Those fingerprints are a story for another time
That’s a LOT of open space
No shit
Mine has no open space
Almost as if this chassis was also used for high end models too
At least it's copper
The thermal paste under there is so dry it is starting to form cracks
Damn
But it isn't worth repasting, this thing is bound for recycling.
It is already 3 years old and with such bad specs it's resale value will be less than the tube of thermal paste and alcohol I need to repaste it.
3 to 5 years is the typical lifespan of an average aptop imo, assuming the user's needs evolve over time at a pace similar to current technology.
Yeah they will, I use it for gaming after all
Do you have usb4
What’s that
The biggest mess and biggest accomplishment of the USB standard
Basically thunderbolt for non-intel systems
But here is the messy part: the standardised part of usb4 is pretty much equivalent to thunderbolt 3, with the exception of no PCIe support and DisplayPort alt mode iirc. After that it is up to the manufacturer, which means that USB4 is a mess. One USB4 port might have PCIe support, another may not. Another USB4 port will be limited to a speed lower than another, and the list of the messy parts goes on.
I know I have two USB-C ports that can also hook up to displays
So you have DisplayPort alt mode.
Yeah I can’t find my user manual, my mom seems to have misplaced it when she was messing around in my room
Laptop model?
Thunderbolt?
That’s for intel
I know
There are two different laptop models
One intel and 3(?) different amd ones
So actually four
So you have USB4. If your usb4 port supports PCIe, you should be able to hook up an egpu, so technically you may be able upgrade your gpu. However egpus cost a shit ton of money on a lot of cases.
An egpu is just a standard desktop gpu no?
Not always
You have enclosures, which have a normal PCIe slot inside (meaning you can slit in a desktop gpu, thus making them upgradeable) but there are cases of complete sets that ship with mobile gpus. Those egpus are unapgradeable themselves, so you have to buy a new one to upgrade you egpu
I know there are special cases for having such systems
But you can also set up an egpu via M.2
I don’t think I’ll ever have an egpu lol
However that method is on the patchwork side of things, and not all M.2 slots are made equal
Albeit significantly cheaper than a proper egpu
By the time I’ll want to upgrade my gpu I’ll also want a new cpu, so it would be new laptop time
I got $40. Almost enough for one stick. Only need $80
