Re: Talking about the circuit design process

What's not clear to me is why you went from F = When B = 0 and C = 1. to F = When E = 0 and C = 1. At that step, it doesn't look like a simplification. I will be happy to explain. E = When B = 1 F = When B = 0 and C = 1. E = When B = 1 F = When E = 0 and C = 1. Now if E is true when B is true. Then...

Re: Small face inside alien artifacts?

Yeah I noticed that right away and it reminded me of "Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet" a lot as well. Now why we need alien eggs to research advance technologies or better yet build futuristic tech is beyond me. Are they made of some rare polymer that is impossible to synthesize or somet...

Re: Talking about the circuit design process

Well I guess you did a better job at figuring out the best simplification of the logic combinations by eliminating the redundant ones. So no wonder that you need much less combinators to implement the same. But I guess that doesn't make his design approach bad, because he got a working solution, ju...

Re: Talking about the circuit design process

I like your thought process... because I'm normally facing similar problems due to how the circuit stuff is way too abstract for my every-day usage. I will probably use your approach the next time I want to do something with the circuit stuff and see if I cope better. :D I don't know if I would rec...

Re: Talking about the circuit design process

Omg, that sound needlessly complicated. I don't even understand your part with arithmetic combinators. If wood > 0 then A = 1 If gas > 2000 then B = 1 If coal > 2000 then C = 1 If B > A Then D = 1 If C > D Then E = 1 Wood inserters always work Solid fuel inserters only work if D = 1 Coal inserters o...

Re: Night switch for steam engines based on combinators

I have improved on this design a bit since I first posted it, certainly you remember it? You replied to the topic 3 months ago. It seems to be just generally ignored. But there you go, no inserters used, no wire conditions used, and no leakage. Instant response to power conditions. What more could ...

Re: Using Floors and such

Well it certainly feel different from the usual grassy/sandy background. Adding walls on the perimeter give the illusion of an actual factory building with the ceiling removed so that we can see.

Re: Night switch for steam engines based on combinators

A thing one could try to do is creating a synchronous-clock system... where there is a clock #1 outputting signal #1 in the maingrid and another clock #2 outputting signal #2 behind an accumulator with the accumulator being on both grids. Once clock #2 loses it's power because of the shared accumul...

Re: Combat robots useless?

Did you consider that the Combat Shotgun gives a 20% bonus? No, I did not. Kinda important. Base pellet damage = 6 + 7.2 = 13.2 Two option here. Depend on how the game is coded. 13.2 * 1.2 * 0.8 - 8 = 4.672 13.2 * (1 + 0.2 - 0.2) - 8 = 5.2 Judging by how the game handle multiple modules, let's go w...

Re: Let's Ruin Threads by Arguing about Logistics Chests

I would like to add that I do not remember reading a part asking us to take our discussion elsewhere. Because if I saw that I would have complied.

Unless that is what you meant by "my head explodes" or "crit damage for 9999". Because if it was it wasn't clear enough for me.

Re: Latest science factory (feedback requested)

Checked the numbers using the 8 assembler 3 blue science as the desired rate (1.2 red, green and blue science produced per second).
