One of the most used javascript libraries in the world is called "iseven" which determines if a number is even.

Nothing about javascript programming is to be respected

not to be confused with iSeven, which tells you if a number is seven

You could set up a cow clicker that interacts with the factorio computer, then some poor fucker playing the game is obliged to increase production to make your number go up

Is that even something you can demand under the modding EULA? I'd imagine if it's published on the mod site, people can play it however they want. Editing might be another matter, but viewing?

Kerbal Space Program briefly had problems with some weirdo from the minecraft community putting stupid restrictions on his mods and they fixed it by making modders release under a permissive license

Wait why would you wire something directly to a pole?

Probably using switches/circuitry to turn stuff on and off

I'd like to request a companion mod, Taco Night, where you make delicious tacos instead of steel.

Oddly enough, Taco Bell just revamped their menu and removed all items that are not made out of pellets of ore, coal and flux

Krastorio has "additional electric engine" addons to put in vehicles instead of exoskeletons

yeah, there's a way to curve diagonal rail sections through each other that makes it look like they intersect, but trains can't actually switch tracks :argh:

if you turn them all the way up you can get to a state where it is impossible to rebuild, or isn't feasible to break out of the starting area (a lot of better weaponry requires oil)

you need concrete for iirc nuke reactors or something else way down the tech tree so you might as well leave it automated

you can build a spidertron or ten, which is about on the same magnitude as the rocket in terms of research and production

Has there been any hint of what the official expansion will be about yet?

there hasn't been any sort of official announcement but they hired the guy who made the space exploration mod

This is basically the ksp one and it helped the game so loving much.


Yeah, KSP set up all that specifically as a response to one or two bad actors pulling poo poo like this instead of, you know, hiring them

This feels like a straight-up mistake.

With copper, you turn copper ore into grade 1 and grade 2 ore through a screener. The grade 2 ore is smelted and the grade 1 ore is crushed into stone and grade 2 ore.

Fine, seems like grade 2 ore is "better" than grade 1 ore.

With tin, you turn tin ore into grade 1 and grade 2 ore through a screener. The grade 1 ore is smelted and the grade 2 ore is crushed into stone and grade 1 ore.

loving what?


enjoying reading about people's experiences with schizophrenia simulator 2021. This and the post about inventing genetic engineering to clone aliens to harvest their poo poo have been highlights

What they probably don't want is porn mods being available, and they don't want to spend the resources to have someone at Nintendo proofing every mod for every game to make sure it is not objectionable.

They may justify it that way but probably care much more about blocking the execution of arbitrary code from the internet which could enable jailbreaking

I didn't know you could catch fish, much less eat them, until I was flailing around trying to build a spidertron and had to look up how to get one :lol:
