No, that article talks about copy on write for copying files, i.e. instead of actually copying the file, both old and new are set up to share the same data on disk. What factorio needs is a way of duplicating its process without having to also duplicate all the memory associated to it.

You could turn things around and instead request barrels on Nauvis' landing pad.

The productivity bonus only applies to 65 heavy oil (90 output - 25 input). When you take this catalyst into account, the numbers will match:
90 Heavy Oil/Craft / 5 second/Craft * 0.55 craft speed * (1 + 0.3 prod bonus * (90-25)/90 output without catalyst) = 12.045 Heavy Oil/second

Does a combined madzuri loader & unloader suffice? If not, why?

The kind of blueprint I'm making is a very common one in various guides online, youtube videos, etc. I've made these before in my previous playthroughs. I put a machine down with P0 as recipe and P0 on the storage chest, then requester chest asks for 1 coal, 2 copper, 3 iron etc, then I ...

Then there is a "tempering matrice" applied, to this 3rd number, this i recognized as the 3 operations similar to the LSBR
This part :
y = x ^ (x >> u);
y = y ^ ((y << s) & b);
y = y ^ ((y << t) & c);
z = y ^ (y >> l);
Which i felt """confident""" doing in a "loop". Because to turn the last ...

Regarding singed vs. unsigned, for most operations the arithmetic combinator supports you don't have to do anything special (That's why two's complement is nowadays the only relevant representation for negative integers.), only division, modulus and right shift(*) are different. Out of these ...

but then I was looking at the wikipedia page to try and see if there was a chance i could make one in game, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne_Twister. and I could see the n=624 in the C code, but then for other values like "a" "b" "c" and Umask and Lmask, the values are in hexadecimal, and ...

Like PennyJim, I'd list the value that takes priority first. In addition, I'd avoid "and" and "or", lest someone attempts to evaluate the expression. How about "Value of `default_show_value` if set, `true` otherwise"?

Just to make sure: Which kind of AI? Generative AI which became a big topic in the recent years (example keywords: ChatGPT, LLM), or decades old game AI (for controlling NPCs, enemies, ...)?

Both are, of course, not intelligent but apply some algorithms to their input data. Regarding game AI, I'd ...

Not a Bug, as per the discussion following this post .

Outputting Anything when the condition is not using Each will output a single signal out of the input signals. In particular, Anything will pick the first input signal in some game defined order that roughly resembles the order the items appear ...

Tertius' setup gives the pairwise minima min(Each[red], Each[green]), the selector combinator min(all input signals). Calling both operations minimum is perfectly fine. You just need to be precise and indicate which of them is meant, if there's risk of confusion.

The question is, what is it supposed to do? Validating something without a goal to validate against is … difficult.

Interesting work.

Re 2.0 combinators: The changes made in 2.0 really shine when you're frequently working with Each. Stuff that's rather cumbersome in 1.x reduces to a single combinator in 2.0. With the goal of sticking close to x86, these improvements become mostly meaningless. The selector ...

raiguard is planning to improve this for 2.1, see e.g. 128174 and 126571.

2)Cheating on achievement can be done the same way, but it's even easier, you can just be a bunch of spectators while other people do all the hard work or edit your filesave later on.


With a little bit of modding, you can also trivialize the steam/unmodded achievements. Get or make yourself a ...

Space age changes happen in the space-age mod:

data/space-age/base-data-updates.lua

Simplifying a bit, I read the instructions as:
$1 := max(in_r1, in_r2)
out_1 := signal in_g1 value $1 if $1 < in_r3 else signal R value in_r3


I would like to have a single (decider) combinator

Impossible. While a decider combinator can evaluate arbitrary logic, it'll either produce all it's ...

I'm not saying that the arithmetic combinator is the mapping; it is not. As consequence, your attempt at interpretation went off the rails. I don't even know how that mapping is supposed to look like (mathematically), the description is quite vague.
