If you saw my first factory, I didn't even start using foundations until somewhere mid phase 3, though I did have an intricate and elaborate weave of belts load balancing to get perfect counts... Manifolding didn't really occur to me for quite a while either
What got me to finally use foundations was when I realized they had snap points which make lining systems up substantially simpler
The fact that they use torties for the mid tier high jumping assholes is so on point... I love my torties but holy hell do they have attitude to spare
Generally speaking, the only things you should be overclocking are resource extractors to be able to feed more production from the same nodes; overclocking production machines doesn't really make sense when you can just build more machines, space is pretty much the least limited resource in the game.
That said, there are exceptions and sometimes a little overclocking helps things balance out without weird machine counts that are hard to plan for, or if you just misplanned a space and expanding would mean tearing a lot out and redoing it
It's literally what the tooltip says when you switch to it in game
I use this all the friggin time, it's such a huge time saver
Though, if it's a particularly complex build, I'll usually use Satisfactory Tools' production calculator along with Satisfactory Calculator's interactive map to plan where to source materials...
They're not complicated, I just have a couple containers that feed through two layers of constructor to make solid biofuel that sits ready for 8 burners in case my production ever starts dipping over the line... 240 MW isn't much but it only starts burning if needed and gives me time to ramp up coal or shut something down before everything goes offline
I don't know if it'll be useful at all once I get my first fuel generators running (just unlocked it this playthrough), but they've kicked on a couple of times even into mid tier 5...
Basically, they're extra "batteries" that "charge up" every time I chop down trees to make room for factories
I mean, if someone gets arrested because a machine predicted they would shoplift but no actual shoplift had been attempted, I'd like to believe the case would be thrown out for lack of any crime having been committed, but I don't know if I have that much faith left in humanity anymore
In many respects, I think the scare manipulation they're pulling when someone updates their system up try to get them to buy their subscription service is worse, implying that they won't be getting all of the security patches they need otherwise
If you have Ubuntu installed in the room, then yes
Doesn't even take farming, just playing the game should get you enough. But you do what you enjoy, if you're not enjoying the game then you should find something that is fun for you
For me, though, the time and play it takes to unlock the stuff in one warbond gets me the super credits I need for another anyway, and that time is spend mostly trying out and enjoying the new toys so it's not exactly farming
What paywall? I've unlocked every warbond without paying for a single one of them, what are you talking about?
Grenade pistol, sickle, breaker incendiary, dominator, eruptor, cookout, blitzer, punisher plasma... All are very solid weapons and all of them I'd pick over the core warbond weapons 9 times out of 10
The extension pack does cost and is licensed differently from the core product
I did try that tact, more or less, but the fact is they kept harassing our licensing people and it just wasn't worth it so we removed every copy of it and used something else
And the truth is, Oracle can throw an ungodly amount of legal hassle at people if they want, right or wrong... Just because you're in the right and should win doesn't mean there'll be anything left of you on the other side, and they won't have felt a thing while destroying you out of capriciousness
They're pure evil and even their fully open source products should be avoided like the plague that they are. Hopefully someone will fork them at some point so we don't have to be tied to that shitty company, but until then, better to just leave them alone, because it's just not worth the hassle.
Yeah, it actually was visible while it was being constructed, but then turned invisible. It highlighted an outline of it when I pointed at it
Hasn't happened again though
I don't have that problem but once had a personal container disappear as soon as I placed it, probably related?
They don't even care if you don't get the extension pack, we've been pestered by those leeches even for the open source licensed for all use main package only
And they DO NOT CARE if you don't actually use or install the extensions (unless something has changed, the guest add-ons are part of the free open source part, it's the extensions for things like USB 2 support that aren't free for commercial)
You can use it freely, by license, but they'll come after you anyway
I'm still pissed that they bought Sun, so many great products now controlled by those assholes... Virtual box, MySQL, Solaris, Java...
Last time I loaded up Ubuntu, considering it for a server, the moment I saw that, I deleted the VM and took it off my list permanently
I have no interest in that kind of manipulative BS
