Can you indicate the theorical differences in distribution between the one you show and the other one based on
Linear shift back register . ?
What's the difference between the 2 notions ?

Unfortunately, that's beyond my current mathematical knowledge. In this script, skip the text and scroll ...

If you load a mod, Steam achievements will stop for this save. Steam will only count achievements for unmodded saves. To resume Steam achievements, load a save from before you added a mod or create a new vanilla game. (Space Age doesn't count as mod if it comes to achievements. Using just the 4 ...

For simulations, and Factorio is a simulation, requirements for randomness of a pseudorandom number isn't that high. Important is equal distribution instead.
A common widely used efficient and sufficient algorithm for this is the Linear congruential generator .

Continuously create pseudorandom ...

the only way I have to enter the server is putting the ip 0.0.0.0 in "connect to address", so connecting to localhost
this is the output of the server that says that is hosting on the localhost. check 1.027 & 1.028

The ip address of localhost is 127.0.0.1. The meaning of the address 0.0.0.0 in ...

I don't see an issue for the agriculture science pack spoiling. Just continuously produce and ship it from Gleba, regardless of the current research. If it is being consumed on the target planet by research doesn't matter. At the target planet, it is either being consumed by the research or being ...

... which then deadlocks until the quality 1 iron is removed. This could be removed with a filtered inserter set to everything < 0, but this then precludes sending read content signals from the assembler which is necessary to set the recipe.


Difficult to understand what you mean with "set to ...

That's interesting, i don't understand the priority when you send 3 receipe signals =>

1) heavy oil cracking
2) basic oil processing
3) solid fuel from petroleum gas

There's no issue.
If you feed a chemical plant with all of these 3 recipes, heavy oil cracking is selected. It's the leftmost ...

My argument is that one need to use brain to choose method that depend on situation, you argument is :

Nope, stop lying. Your argument was literally:

Hey, both of you, please stop fighting this stupid fight. Just stop. You're both right, or you're both wrong, or just one of you, I don't care ...

Go on.

I wouldn't call that a "bad seed". As far as I remember previous Vulcanus layouts, there is always just one tungsten resource field with 150-250k, one coal with about 1m, one sulfuric acid field and 1 calcite with 500k-1m in the starting area. This seems the parameters of the starting area ...

I try to explain.

First, look at the station. It's configured to read train content. This will send it to any wire connected to the station. It's also configure to send any circuit signal to the train, where it can be processed by waiting conditions and interrupts. If you activate both of these ...

With the most devices connected to the circuit network, all signals "coming out of" the device are ignored by the stuff working inside the device, but this doesn't seem the case with stations. Just with production machines and things like asteroid collectors, where this is crucial for setting ...

Having studied computer science, I have some remarks from the conceptual side of software development. Software development is not just coding stuff, implementing stuff. With coding I mean writing program code and creating game assets within an engine.

What I recommend you could try to educate ...

It's always difficult to guess what you mean with "this" as only description. Videos may be obvious for the creator, but not necessarily for the watcher. I don't look into videos without description, since it's usually like a search picture game and just wasting time in the end.

The point of rocket fuel isn't just that it can be burned but also that it is a required intermediate. You simply have to produce rocket fuel as product, not for burning.

If you just look at the energy balance, keep in mind you're able to use productivity modules in the rocket fuel production step ...

Your image explains the decline of the Vulcanary. It needs lava puddles to hatch its eggs, but with the decline in volcanic activity, lava puddles cool into chimney vents, so that the Vulcanary is slowly being deprived of its basis of life.

As general feedback from me: I don't use the shotgun. Against biters, worms and nests, it's like shooting with blanks. No matter the ammo and the research. No visible impact except when I accidentally shoot while walking inside my factory. And I'm usually not able to get the direction right or I'm ...

I'd like to build a small number of make anything machines and have them run in parallel to make whatever I need on demand. It would also free up all the resources in the waiting-to-be-picked-up red boxes all over the sushi mall.

I made a universal mall with this approach:

item delivery and ...

This reminds me of the Vulcanary, the almost extinct native bird of Vulcanus. It's so rare, no player has seen it yet.

Why isn't a better armor with better lasers and shields no reward?

Yes, these would be nice, but the cost is simply to high for that small change they do. Doesn't feel like a reward. There is artillery. Artillery feels like a reward. And there are spidertrons. Spidertrons feel like a reward. And ...
