I start with a bus leaving enough headroom for multiple stations in the top part and a mall close by.
After trains, first I bring ores and then I start building minifactories for dedicated production drifting away from main bus.
When bots are available I start by converting the mall and then the main base is turn more or less into city blocks, but keeping the main bus.
Not as extreme as this but you can get the idea.
Fot the moment, it has worked everytime (including K2, let’s see how it goes with current run of B&A) and the main plus (IMHO) is that I don’t end up with a base that looks the same every run.
Inserters can catch fish. I need to try if they can also drop them into a pond because … reasons
Maybe it’s part of a hypothetical port to consoles?
This is the simplest I’d do:
Have a dedicated refueling line. This one is a bit special and probably with a 1-1 train it’ll be enough. This line should go from “fuel pickup -> fuel drop off”. Maybe, down the line, more than one refueling train will be needed. Your fuel drop off should refuel this line first. This way, as you progress you just need to change what’s in “fuel pickup” and all your trains will (eventually) use your new fuel.
Have a* refueling area where all your trains are refueled. Think of having 5-10 (as many as you need) stations in parallel, all canned exactly the same (i.e “Refuel”) *These stations might become a traffic bottleneck so you might want to have a few returning areas scattered around. For automatic schedule you can use a few seconds of inactivity as a condition.
Have a parking area. Think of 10 stations all named exactly the same (i.e. “Parking”). These might also become a traffic bottleneck so you might want to have a few of these areas scattered around. Use no condition in the schedule, so trains won’t stop unless they have nowhere to go. It’s important to consider these areas, as you don’t want a train which can’t pickup anything blocking a refueling station.
Name every pickup station type exactly the same (i.e. 1-4 Iron Ore Pickup) Use amount of material in the station as a condition to set train limit (and not enable/disable station). You can use circuits to set exactly the number of trains you can serve but I usually don’t bother. If you can request 3 trains, you need to make sure that there’s space to park 2 trains by the station where they won’t interrupt traffic. I did it simpler to just have multiple pickup stations in parallel and depending on waiting material request 1 or 0 trains. As multiple trains would be waiting anyway, I prefer them being loaded. This might not be the most efficient way but I think it’s simpler. For the scheduler you’d use full cargo OR Time passed. If a couple of minutes have gone by, have the train depart and not wait anymore.
Name every drop of station exactly the same (following the iron ore example, 1-4 Iron Ore Drop Off) As schedule conditions you’d use Empty Cargo OR Time passed. If a couple minutes go by, have the train depart and not wait anymore. You’d use circuits to keep requesting trains until the station has stopped as many material as you want. Keep in mind that if you request more than one train, you’ll need space for the remaining trains to wait without interrupting traffic.
Your train schedule should look like (adjust times add needed):
You can repeat parking, pickup, drop off a few times to minimize refueling (be careful not to do this too many times so your trains spend all their fuel before refueling) If you do, remember that after drop off you should always go to parking.
Once you have the schedule set up for a train, you can copy it with shift+right click and paste with shift+left click.
Finally, it’s important to use train limit instead of enable / disable.
Using the former, over a train has departed, if the station changes and requests 0 trains, the train will keep going.
If you use disable, if a train departs and the station becomes disabled, the train will stop in the middle of nowhere, potentially causing a gridlock.
PS: I usually name my stations with the type of train, so if later I decide to bring ore from an outpost far away, I can make a few exchanging hubs with 3-8, 4-16, … bringing materials and 1-4 distributing then around the base
There are currently a few communities about football (soccer)
Try to search in the community section using “All instances”
If you can’t find them, comment below and I’ll gather links to the ones I can see
If you know of a community and you can’t find it in all, paste the whole URL in the search field ( https://lemmy.ml/c/linux ) and then you can subscribe.
This indicates your instance there’s someone interested in this community and it’ll start getting future content
Only the first user would need to do this, for those after, the community will show when searching in all
Edit: autocorrect
This is not complete by any means but this is what I did (recently):
A couple of things that might be odd to get your head around:
But the most important part, enjoy your time here
It works for me.
I think you must have subscribed? followed? (I’m not sure of the correct word) from mastodon before the post was made. The post appears as a toot with the comments as replies.
Anyway, the factory looks really tidy
At least, I understood it in some other way.
With some “back of the envelope” calculations (using Reddit provided revenue and user number) Reddit’s revenue (not earnings) / user month is $0.12 , around $1.4 user/year
In the case of Apollo, the “intended” revenue per Apollo user would be $2.5 per user month, around $30 user /year
From the body of the post, search for the following header: Why do you say Reddit’s pricing is “too high”? By what metric?
The $20 Million is what would cost to continue using the API with the intended price point.
Also, $500.000 year would be revenue, not earnings. As I understood, he’s not a “solo” developer working in his basement. There’s people and infraestructure to pay from that number (I don’t know neither how many people nor how much costs “keeping the lights on”, but anyway, I don’t think those numbers are relevant)
My own opinion: Let’s say Reddit’s break even point is around the Apollo’s intended cost / user. That would mean that with a revenue of $0.12 per month * user, Reddit would be losing around $800 million / month. That’s close to $10.000 million / year. Even as a ballpark figure, I find it suspicious to say the least.
BTW: I’ve never used Apollo. RIF user from long long before they had to change the App name
You should probably take a look at Webamp then. Winamp2 inside the browser, Llama, skins and milkdrop included.
It seems that there is an implementation that lets you interact with Spotify (I haven’t tried it myself, you’ll need Spotify premium)
It’s been a few years since I used keepalived so my knowledge might be outdated.
You are correct that the VMs should be in different servers. To test around you can set up on the same, but this shouldn’t be done in production environments, if you lose the host, you lose the service.
Keepalived will make sure your service is available in an IP. To say, you have two (it can be configured for more than two) servers with (A) 192.168.0.2 and (B) 192.168.0.3 which provide the service you want to provide. With Keepalived you’ll configure a common IP for both of them, let’s say 192.168.0.4
While working, server A will be available at 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.4 while server B will be available at 192.168.0.3. If server A fails keepalived will “move” 192.168.0.4 to server B, so 192.168.0.2 will not be available and server B will be available at 192.168.0.3 and 192.168.0.4.
No matter which server is up / primary, your service will always be available at 192.168.0.4
For the mirroring part, you need to solve it in another step outside from keepalived. For example, MariaDB provides multimaster replication “out of the box” with galera (the recommendation is at least 3 nodes)
For files, depending on your filesystem you should have to rsync, use some shared units, distribute filesystem (Ceph), …
There are already similar communities for the last three ones:
Not that they are the only ones, but the ones I’ve seen.
I’ve been using Namecheap for personal domains for around 10 years now. Since a few years back, privacy guard is included in the domain price (at least for .com domains) so your name, address, … won’t appear directly on whois queries.
As it’s just one domain, (longterm) pricewise I don’t think there’ll be a big difference with any of them. 1 or 2 € per year, maybe. It’ll be more important to check longterm price of the domain (.com / .io / …), as you’ll probably find some offer for the first year.
FWIW, namecheap publishes a recurrent offer around 10th October (apart from some random offers every once in a while) If you go with them, you can register for one year and renew the domain for a longer period when you find an offer.
There is “The Rules Lawyer” on YouTube who is a lawyer (+DM) and has been breaking down all the legal speak.
The videos apply to older documents but I think there will be an updated video about the new draft.
This one is about previous ORC draft vs WOTC’s use of Creative Commons: https://youtu.be/zgdyswPElQ8
As an RPG game I think Neverwinter Nights is worth taking a look (you might have even played it when it was brand new) There is an enhanced edition that was first published a few years back that among other things, brought back online gaming without having to mess around. I think the community fits the bill nicely and in some groups you might not even be among the oldest.
Although you can play it solo, it’s at multiplayer where it shines. Also, apart from official content, there’s a ton of community content, some of it far better than official one.
Factorio has been also mentioned. Think of puzzle / problem solving / logistics / base building kind of game. There’s a playable demo (probably >10 hours worth of content but I can’t say for sure, I didn’t need so long to decide it was my thing) so you can check it out before purchasing.
Additional info :
I would also add Minecraft, Terraria, Stardew Valley for the chill factor.
You shouldn’t have problems with any of these games on your laptop.
Maybe an inserter? But gear is cool.
