Came across some real life #Factorio the other day: a conveyor belt taking rubble from a quarry, under a dual carriageway road, then along a pier and onto a ship. We watched it running at full pelt for ages then the load started to get patchy. Someone needs to re-position their electric miners!
Imagine spending countless hours proving it is possible to complete Factorio in a 12x9 world only to find out afterwards that since the Spidertron was added it is actually possible to do it in 11x9
(Spidertrons can stand on top of other buildings and have a large carrying capacity, so you can use them like chests to hold all the items you need to launch the rocket while still having the ability to place buildings on all tiles.)
I'm back from space, to take you lot to space, for a new Stumble Saturday. We'll be looking at #factorio and #lethalCompany, an early access #indie game that has been made somewhat #accessible for the #blind. Let's see how we do. I can guarantee we'll be blown up at least once :) For the uninitiated, Stumble Saturday involves me, a fully blind #gamer and #twitch#streamer, trying a #game for the first time to see how #accessible it is. See you in an hour at https://twitch.tv/zersiax#goingLive
Just finished a 2 player co-op run of #Factorio with the #AngleBob mod set.
While my friend hasn't played much classic before we still decided to go for the more complex playthrough, and it worked out great.
145 hours to launch the rocket and so much fun refactoring. The mod set is in a really good state, good pacing, lots of options to build big or clever, meaningful differences in approached.
Can recommend! (We tuned off Bob's Greenhouse to make it a bit more challenging /interesting)
@ocramius@edorian@klimpong "its a really fun game" in the way that "i love trying to refactor huge codebases and coordinate people while aliens attack 😂
Ever played factorio and thought "I wish my factory had a risc-v core"?
Introducing Factorio Yosys!
This is a project of a friend of mine not on mastodon, so all credit to him. He built a full @yosyshq backend for #factorio that can now compile a #riscv core.
The core runs at 1.82 Hz at 60 FPS, and much faster with uncapped framerate.
@ChloeCat I'm in. I love tower defense games and if it's anything like this I'll be hooked.
Also I don't want to admit how long it took me to set up the oil refinery and I'm not even happy with it. It's currently in "good enough" status until I get my bot network up and running properly 😅
This was a massive pain to setup. Train brings in oil, it gets stored until it's ready for basic refining where I can now begin converting it until more useful chemicals 😅
@thomy2000 oh wow, it's almost like someone KNOWS how to sell a game!
I know I shouldn't need to get excited about being properly treated as a customer, but these are very dark times. I certainly hope more developers do this.
I think part of it might be that I rode my Ninja for the first time in a month and was reminded of how enjoyable #motorcycle riding in good weather is.
Was reaching the limit of my coal mining and thus coal power, so I hastily slapped together this solar array before I start looking into nuclear power. :blobfoxgoogly: #Factorio
