07:44 <ConfusionRift> If that's the case, oooh man. Otherwise I think someone around here would have a heart attack.
07:46 <Cepheid> For whatever reason, the server loaded /home/factorio/factorio/SAVES/eqd.zip instead of /home/factorio/factorio/bin/x64/eqd.zip
07:46 <Cepheid> In fact, the latter was renamed to "eqd.zip.1" for some reason.
07:46 <Cepheid> Anyways, it's all good now.
07:46 <ConfusionRift> That would be a backup suffix now?
07:47 <Cepheid> I dunno.
07:47 <Cepheid> But anyways, I apologize for that.
07:47 <ConfusionRift> No prob. I wasn't gonna do much, really. Mostly just walling for those pesky neighbors.
07:47 <Cepheid> No need.
07:48 <Cepheid> I already finished the walling.
07:48 <ConfusionRift> Maybe move some- oh.
07:49 <ConfusionRift> Well, not much for me to do. The architect and the planner are better at putting that factory together. I'm just a tank destroyer... as in, I ended up destroying three tanks in 15 minutes.
07:49 <ConfusionRift> Maybe some more cliff clearing?
07:50 <Cepheid> Cliff clearing, plus you can help with redesign of rails and disassembly of stuff we don't need anymore, etc.
07:50 <Cepheid> Like all these extraneous turrets and walls.
07:50 <ConfusionRift> Reminds me. We have to figure out on how to deal with behemoths at some point.
07:51 * Ali points to the wall of death (TM)
07:51 <Cepheid> "at some point" You mean like now.
07:51 <Cepheid> We're past the point where they spawn, now.
07:51 * ConfusionRift nods.
07:51 <Ali> We hit 1.0 evo factor?
07:51 <Cepheid> 0.9
07:51 <Cepheid> They spawn at 0.9 or therabouts.
07:52 <ConfusionRift> We could use Ali's patented flamethrowers of flameness.
07:52 <Ali> Burn baby burn DISCO INFERNO~
07:52 <ConfusionRift> Will have to run the oil to the other walls.
07:53 <ConfusionRift> Aaaaand artillery... a bit later though. That thing is expensive.
07:53 <Ali> Also Cepheid your new oil well when I logged yesterday was going nowhere
07:53 <ConfusionRift> We did get attacked hard by the west bandits.
07:54 <ConfusionRift> And the south mosquitos.
07:54 <Cepheid> Yeah, I never got it connected up Ali.
07:54 <Ali> Once that is walled off, things should get better from that side
07:54 <Cepheid> I was too busy with other stuff.
07:54 <Ali> Its fine
07:54 <Ali> I can't play tonight, been having some PC issues
07:54 <Ali> I think my motherboard is getting close to giving out

07:55 <Ali> Then again, I am still running on an AMD PHENOM 2
07:55 <Ali> Which is what? Ancient history in computer terms?
07:55 <ConfusionRift> Guys... someone sent the rocket?!
07:55 <Ali> Yeah, Cephy launched one
07:56 <Cepheid> Yes, I launched it, sorry.
07:56 <Cepheid> Seemed like a good idea at the time to launch it, get the packs, and do some research for bots.
07:57 <Ali> Might need to start upgrading weapon damage but that needs what? 2k whites?
07:57 <ConfusionRift> It was a good idea. I just have never seen it launch. :P

08:12 <Cepheid> Not so sure about that. Let me check something.
08:13 <ConfusionRift> That's not good!
08:13 <Cepheid> Nope, I'm good.
08:13 <Cepheid> No minimum requirement for 3804.
08:13 <Cepheid> However, that course is going waaaaaaaaaay back into the queue.
08:13 <ConfusionRift> They put a base right next to the wall!
08:14 * Cepheid encloses the base in walls and turrets.
08:14 <Cepheid> Problem?

10:01 <RazorSharpFang> If I don't have a reason, how can I use it?
10:02 <Cepheid> Because you'll understand how to use it when you see it. But fine.
10:04 <Cepheid> I'm going to create 3 sites, connected by train. At each site, there will be a 20x20 grid of 5x5 oil tanks. Each site is going to have two sets of train stations, one to drop off oil of a specific type, another to pickup the oil.
10:04 <Cepheid> We have a problem with storage of oil of all types. I intend to resolve that for the foreseeable future.
10:06 <Cepheid> We may or may not need it. I don't care. I'm building it anyway.

13:05 <RazorSharpFang> It's working pretty well so far, gotten the first 1024 unicode characters. Example: https://i.imgur.com/DUg4wF0.png
13:06 <Cepheid> What're you using? Atlasses, or actual font files?
13:06 <RazorSharpFang> Remind me what's an Atlasses again?
13:07 <Cepheid> A collection of images, usually related, compacted into a single image for texture purposes.
13:08 <RazorSharpFang> Like that, but instead of images it's triangles.
13:10 <Cepheid> At atlas is a collection of related images, in which you use as a texture for rendering to triangles, yes.
13:10 <RazorSharpFang> I mean it's not raster.
13:10 <Cepheid> Right.
13:10 <Cepheid> That said, are you using distance fields, or anything of the like?
13:11 <RazorSharpFang> I'm using gamemaker, so whatever it's doing to render, it's all under the hood.
13:12 <Cepheid> Ah, fun.
13:12 <Cepheid> I got rid of the old steelworks.
13:12 <RazorSharpFang> A lot of the characters look really weird... I guess I haven't delved deep into unicode before.
13:13 <Cepheid> Yeah. Unicode is unusual to work with.
13:13 <Cepheid> It's because it's designed to handle every possible written language that Humanity will ever use, and has used.
13:13 <RazorSharpFang> I wanted to find a single font that supported every language.
13:13 <Cepheid> That's... I'm not sure such a thing even exists.
13:14 <RazorSharpFang> I eventually went with 'NotoSans' which ... appears to be working... but I'm only up to the first 1024 or so.
13:14 <Cepheid> Yeah, NotoSans is a good set.
13:16 <Cepheid> According to Wikipedia, the Noto family covers a little over half the entire Unicode character set as defined for Version 11 of Unicode.
13:16 <Cepheid> That said, it's actually comprised of multiple files. So you'll likely need to load multiple font files.
13:19 <RazorSharpFang> More hurdles to cross when I encounter those code-points.
13:20 <RazorSharpFang> Next up is Cyrillic... which is a thing.
13:23 <Cepheid> You're going to encounter some weird characters that, despite, having a visible width to them, will have an advance of 0.
13:27 <RazorSharpFang> That will throw me quite a bit...
13:28 <RazorSharpFang> Do you mean like ` ͖` ?
13:28 <Cepheid> Those are diacritical characters, usually.
13:28 <Cepheid> Or rare special characters for formatting.
13:29 <Cepheid> Basically, they work by adding accents, diacritics and such to letters by having the character "draw over" the diacritical character.
13:29 <Cepheid> And yeah, that's an example.
13:31 <Cepheid> In any case, I got some advice for you.
13:32 <Cepheid> Unless you're intending to display more than one language on the screen at a given time, stick to loading only the sections of the font that are relevant to the language of use.
13:32 <Cepheid> Because the entirety of Unicode is something like, 131,000 characters.
13:36 <RazorSharpFang> I do want to be able to display arbitrary languages, so you can say "I speak English", and then a foreigner will speak Japanese.
13:37 <RazorSharpFang> ` ҈` is an... interesting character.
13:41 <Cepheid> Truth told, what I'd end up doing to save memory and space, is that once the script is finalized, I'd scan it and create a list of every single glyph used. Then generate a texture atlas from fonts, with all the relevant glyphs.
13:42 <Cepheid> But that's just me. Might not work.
13:45 <Cepheid> So I created a "balanced" unloading system. Only problem is, it's freakishly massive. But better than my initial attempt at resolving the problem.
13:45 <Cepheid> It's aesthetically pleasing, too.
13:46 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/aXYWQiu.jpg
13:46 <Cepheid> Unloads a single wagon in no time.
13:46 <Cepheid> I'll be blueprinting it. And then making an expanded version.
13:47 <RazorSharpFang> Looks good. :3
13:48 <Cepheid> Actually, that design is perfect if we use your wide-area rail setup.
13:48 <Cepheid> Because it can fit on both sides.
13:49 <Cepheid> I just need to expand the design to a 2-wagon setup, which is gonna require some huge balancers.
13:49 <Cepheid> Fortunately, Bilka has some amazing balancers.
13:50 <Cepheid> Has 12-to-4, 12-to-6, and 12-to-12.

13:56 <Cepheid> When you write on a piece of lined paper, you know how some glyphs descend below the line?
13:56 <Cepheid> That "line" is called the baseline.
13:56 <Cepheid> It's a pain in the rear to handle.
13:58 <Cepheid> Good news, the spacing you use between rails allows for an easy design of a two-wagon unloader. Three wagons though is pushing it.
13:59 <RazorSharpFang> Ah yeah, I had entirely forgotten that some characters droop a big through.
13:59 <RazorSharpFang> I don't actually input these character glyphs manually (thank goodness) I use a macro program I wrote to do that, but I can't use the computer whilst it's moving the mouse and keyboard on its own.
14:01 <Cepheid> Yeah, the program does it on it's own.
14:01 <Cepheid> So you don't have to deal with that.
14:01 <Cepheid> I did the math myself with a program.
14:01 <RazorSharpFang> But because my IRC client is also on that machine, I can't talk to you either, please pardon my periods of silences.
14:02 <Cepheid> I used another program to generate the glyphs, because I was using a special type of font rendering.
14:07 <Cepheid> There's three types. Static, Signed Distance Fields, and Multi-Channel Signed Distance Fields.
14:09 <RazorSharpFang> Unfortunately, Adobe Flash (What I'm using to generate the font data) is so slow that I have to have 50ms between inputs less input gets dropped.
14:11 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/XDoWafW.jpg Untested, but two-wagon unloader, 12-belt output.
14:12 <Cepheid> Again, blueprinted for future use. Will slap it into the book I have.
14:12 <Cepheid> Next up, two-wagon to six-belts unloader.
14:14 *** Joins: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long)
14:17 <Cepheid> Actually that's just a case of merging all 12 lanes into 6.
14:21 <RazorSharpFang> Yeah, I've found that even if you have a surplus of trains, you'll get 3 full belts from one wagon with double-sided full unloaders.
14:28 <Cepheid> Yeah, I'm just going overboard is all.
14:35 <Cepheid> I actually find it fun. The base is self-sufficient right now. Defends itself just fine, so I can sit here and practice.
14:38 <Cepheid> I'm gonna do this in godmode. *Switches to Scenario*

16:18 <RazorSharpFang> I think I'll skip a lot of the unicode... I think supporting the 30 most spoken languages would be good enough.
16:19 <Cepheid> Heh.
16:23 <RazorSharpFang> I wonder what unicode code-points would be used by Chinese?
16:40 <Cepheid> I've created an abomination.
16:41 <Cepheid> It's a two-wagon unloader, with an extremely compact (vertically) eldritch horror that combines it all into six manes.
16:41 <Cepheid> Er, lanes*
16:41 <Cepheid> Six belts, that is.

17:09 <Cepheid> 38 seconds to unload two full wagons of iron plates into the boxes.
17:14 <Cepheid> 34 for other simple design. Next up, spaghetti design.
17:15 <Cepheid> Spaghetti design, 36 seconds.
17:16 <Cepheid> Really not much I can do about that, now that I think about it. I'm technically compressing 24 lanes into 12. Sooner or later, it's gonna back up.
17:16 <LibrarianofHope> i found a nice display case owo
17:17 <Schism> Hmm. Tim Hortons is saying, "Yanno, people aren't that interested in our 'roll up the rim' thing anymore. Let's make an app!"

17:41 <Schism> Cephy has a great ramen place near him. I need to find one...
17:41 <Cepheid> Eh, not that near.
17:41 <Cepheid> As for the GTA, there's quite a few of them actually.
17:42 <LibrarianofHope> i have one too, it even has the fancy beef
17:42 <LibrarianofHope> what was it called again?
17:43 <LibrarianofHope> kobe
17:44 <Schism> Cepheid: Well, bear in mind I'm in Waterloo here. Howeva... hm. There's a Korean restaurant just down the way which evidently serves good ramen.
17:45 <Schism> I'd probably order the Bokeumbap, though.
17:45 <LibrarianofHope> neber had proper korean

23:42 <Cepheid> ER, six to 24*
23:43 <Cepheid> A standard 6-3, then 3-6 gets me to 12. From there, I split it out to 24 belts, single-laned. Mostly just to keep the output in line with the input.

23:45 <Cepheid> Despite the label in the minimap, it has been tested. Works fine.
