A dock and kb+m when I know I'll have space, a DeckMate used to attach a battery pack when I don't

Bluetooth dongle

The deck has Bluetooth built in.

Car toys are accessories for a vehicle. This is a toy car.

They are pretty terrible, but have you had ketchup?

Fuck TCL. I bought one of their TVs a few years ago. Within a year the backlights went out. Maybe it was just really bad luck, but it turned me off from their products.

The water trains for iron will almost certainly be separate from the main. I'm picturing the rest being connected to the skyway and possibly each other. Maybe different systems for different areas just to add a little challenge to the junctions

I still haven't actually used the local ones (only have time to game on weekends and spent the last couple playing SkyFactory5), but I intend to use them for my iron factory. I have 5 pure nodes where my hub is currently located and intend to set up some pure iron ingot refineries and train the water in from the lake to the southwest. This blueprint may not get used much in this save, but I liked the idea and wanted to at least have it available. The vertical clearance was intentional. The idea was that I'd use the space to decorate, but you see how far that went.

I worked in a pharmacy for 4 years, and this concept is still alien to me. I understand it of course, but it's something I've never known.

I'm guessing the dude on the right is a Voss, but what's the one on the left? Just really pale?

[–] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

If I don't have it docked I use the right one for anything first-person. I hate aiming with a thumbstick, so it gets used as a mouse. The left one usually gets used as a hotbar.

Yeah, how is it that none of these so-called "rivals" have even a single touchpad? I personally wouldn't even consider a device that forces me to use a thumbstick as a mouse.

What advantage would federation bring to a database? Federation is a cool concept, but it doesn't belong everywhere.

 

A while ago @milkisklim@lemm.ee and I had a discussion on here about dual level rails. There was a problem with them that milkisklim eventually commented their solution to, but I didn't want to go that route. I settled on a single level LHD network for a "skyway" but wanted to find a solution I liked for stacked lines to use for local networks.

It can still be difficult to tell from above which way is which with the railed version, and the trains will clip through the beams a little, but if it works well for me I have tweaks in mind before I use it too much.

 

I think I'll call him "The Conductor".

I'm just starting to design my first rail system(LHD), and I've encountered some issues while trying to design an intersection.

First, I couldn't figure out how to make a curve without first attaching to an existing rail which is problematic since nothing in the BP designer can connect with anything outside of it. I got around that by making a BP of just a single curve (after deleting the connecting piece).

The bug where the designer's bounding box doesn't visually match was easy to work around once I figured out what was happening. Hopefully the finished blueprint isn't cut off.

Apparently signals can't be placed on the ends of tracks. Being unable to attach more rails to these curves inside of the designer means that I have nowhere that the game will allow me to place signals.

Is there a way to make a more complete BP for intersections, or will they be mostly manual each time?

Edit: realized after I posted that the left and bottom curves are going to the wrong side. Glad I noticed before trying to use it.

 

I chose this area because I thought that I'd have room to automate all the super early game mats and build my space elevator. Now I'm not so sure. Right now I have iron plates, iron rods, screws, wire, cable, and concrete automated with smelters ready to set up copper sheets the next time I play.

 

I was at a US grocery chain today and came across some...misleading price tags. I took a couple pictures intending to post them to Lemmy before going to bed, but I don't know which community would be appropriate for such a thing. The closest I could think of is A Boring Dystopia, but it doesn't seem quite right there.
