00:28 <Cepheid> Not that brand.  Benelyn.

00:29 <ADragonDreaming> also, whoopsie, triggered the hellbot.

02:47 <Ali> That most of the dragons don't have blood

02:47 <Ali> Lions don't drop paws

02:47 <Ali> Rabbits don't drop feet

02:47 <Ali> You know, WoWlogic

02:48 <Ali> And spiders don't have eyes

03:10 <Schism> Stormspark, that's more like when someone asks you to bring back enemy drops.  :S  Thankfully, in FFXIV, those drops are always quest items, and much less RNG-dependent.

03:11 <Ali> Schism, in WoW enemy drops ARE quest items

03:12 <Ali> But also follow the random drop table

03:15 <Schism> I seem to recall that.

03:17 <Ali> There was this one quest

03:17 <Ali> Wanted you to collect 30 spider eyes

03:17 * Schism yechs.

03:18 <Ali> You've never seen so many eyeless spiders in your life

03:22 <Schism> Oh, of course.

03:22 * Schism produces a bunch of void glue.

04:11 * Schism keeps all the thunderstorms away from the Ali-corn.

04:12 <Ali> Well I got Military Science back being made

04:12 <Ali> Schism, you see the onslaught of bugs I put down earlier

04:13 <Schism> Yup, quite the hive.

04:13 <Ali> They're getting a big large now so I need to do more laser power tech

04:13 <Schism> No such thing as too many lasers.

04:14 <Ali> Does PLD fall under laser turret damage?

04:15 <Ali> Cause Laser 5 gives a 50% boost to turret laser damage

04:16 <Ali> Schism, I had to back off on some attacks cause either there was too much acid spit or too many bugs for the PDL to handle

04:16 <Ali> Heck started to toss rockets at the bases to make sure there were fewer bugs coming out

04:17 * Jackie pets DashedRainbows

04:35 <PinkieShy> !seen straight

06:42 <Ali> No

06:42 <Ali> Tank is worthless pile of HP

06:44 <Ali> That was Personal Laser Defense and rockets

06:47 <ConfusionRift> Aaaah, nice.

06:48 <Ali> And trust me

06:48 <Ali> I almost died 3 times during that fight due to all the acid splats

06:50 * ConfusionRift finally identified what he was eating.

06:50 <ConfusionRift> Okay, so someone thought that Spam... needed more salt.

06:51 <Ali> So how did they add more salt to it?

06:53 <ConfusionRift> Burying it in sauce, seasoning, and spicy sausage.

10:51 * Filly_Nightmares meow

10:52 <ConfusionRift> Big Brother anyone?

10:59 <Cepheid> Mmm, either way, it doesn't shock me.  The public was getting bored of the inequality between women, and treatment of LGBTQ community.  Was inevitable that they'd move onto mental illness, as that was starting to get big in the news and public for other reasons, so now that's next.

10:59 <Cepheid> Gotta keep the hate train going.

10:59 * Filly_Nightmares snugglies into ConfusionRift warms

10:59 * ConfusionRift patpats Filly_Nightmares.

11:05 <Cepheid> ...

11:05 <Cepheid> It's freakin' cold this morning.

11:05 <Cepheid> https://www.reddit.com/r/dndmemes/comments/cxhpf3/its_important_to_discuss_these_things_in_session_0/?st=jzzfpduq&sh=dc047ee3

11:05 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid, wait, what train?

11:07 <ConfusionRift> Pffftt... hehehe.

11:08 <Cepheid> RazorSharpFang:  I call it the hate train.  Though it's probably more accurate to call it the hate/fear train.  Basically, it's an endless cycle in which the public fears and/or hates a specific groups of people, often for outrageous, stupid, and vile reasons.  Eventually they get bored of it, and pick something else to start fearing and hating.

11:09 <RazorSharpFang> Ah yes, the downtrodden

11:09 <Cepheid> Over the last decade or two, it's been roughly:  Muslims, Iraqis, Black People, Women, Mexicans, LGBTQ, and now it's moving onto Mental Illness.

11:11 <Cepheid> I may have forgotten a group or two in there, as like I said, over a decade or two.

11:11 <Cepheid> Anyhoo..

11:12 * Cepheid hands ConfusionRift a wheel of cheese, it's missing 1/4th of itself. He then hands ConfusionRift a segment of cheese. It appears to be approximately 1/4th of a wheel of cheese.

11:14 * ConfusionRift is confused as to what to do with each part. Is it a test? Is it a question? Is it a philosophical meaning to something much- he just ate them both.

11:17 <Cepheid> You could have also combined them to make a potion.

11:18 <ConfusionRift> "You just ate a whole wheel of cheese!" | Not really. I ate a piece that was 3/4 of a wheel, and a 1/4 piece. | "That makes it a whole!" | Technically, I ate two portions that could have made a whole, but I did not eat a whole wheel. | "..." | If only I had a wheel of cheese. | (is fuming with anger)

11:19 <Cepheid> Heh

11:41 * Cepheid stretches, yawns. Applies ice water to head.

11:46 <Cepheid> So, in light of there being references to previous games in AC: Odyssey, I decided to start on the last AC game I played prior.  AC2.  My gods are the freerunning mechanics so... dodgy.

11:58 <Stormspark> it's a song...

11:58 <Stormspark> oh oops

11:58 <Stormspark> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auLBLk4ibAk

11:58 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Rush - Tom Sawyer (Official Music Video)

12:00 * Cepheid suspiciously leaves a wheel of cheese on the table.

12:01 * ConfusionRift looks at it suspiciously.

12:01 <Cepheid> What's your wisdom score?

12:03 <ADragonDreaming> I watched Dave Grohl invite a fan up on stage to sing Tom Sawyer and the fan did the whole thing.

12:05 <Cepheid> Heh.

12:09 * ConfusionRift despite being a bot... has rather low wisdom stats.

12:14 * Cepheid grabs ConfusionRift's character sheet, examines it. He rolls some dice. "You see nothing unusual about the wheel of cheese."

12:14 * ConfusionRift eats it then. :P

12:27 <Cepheid> The wheel of cheese was a mimic!  It eats you from the inside out slowly.

12:28 * ConfusionRift feels strange on the inside. Like, something moving out of place. Then hears clanging and something yelling, "Steel? There's nothing but steel in here!".

12:29 * Surreal_Nightmares sleepies on ConfusionRift

12:29 *** Surreal_Nightmares is now known as Sleeping_Nightmares

12:29 <Cepheid> Be lucky it wasn't one of them rust monsters.

12:30 * Cepheid feels like doing a bit of coding today. Just a bit, though. Maze generator.

12:32 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, not much in there. | "Oh man. This sucks. Can... can I get out?" | Not for a while, no. Gonna have to get the operator to see if she can open up that area so you can leave. | "Oh. Cool, cool..." | Too back they are not gonna let you leave in one crumb. Expect a fight with two and a half ponies.

12:39 <ConfusionRift> Oh, just got a message. Yep, you're dying anyways. | "Wait what?!" | [Self destruct initiated in 3... 2...] (explodes)

12:46 <Cepheid> Heh.

12:47 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypo- oh. So that's what happened.

12:55 <Heartbreak> We started fires.

12:59 * ConfusionRift boops Heartbreak.

13:09 * Stormspark didn't start any fires...only saw one (of the dumpster variety)

13:10 <Cepheid> You know, I don't get why diabetic folks are like "Oh, I can't eat that!" about sweets.

13:10 <Cepheid> Yes, diabetes means your body can't process sugar correctly.

13:10 <Cepheid> But if you eat one donut, for example, it's not going to kill you.

13:10 <Cepheid> If you ate 12, then yeah, there's a problem.

13:10 <Stormspark> to be fair, even if you are a completely normal person, eating 12 donuts isn't exactly a great idea

13:11 <Cepheid> This is true.

13:11 <Cepheid> But even so.

13:11 <Cepheid> Diabetes isn't some sort of "You can't eat sweets, period." rule.

13:11 <Stormspark> it depends on the individual and it's more about balance than "not eating" certain things

13:12 <Stormspark> there are a bunch of different kinds of diabetes too of varying severity

13:13 <Cepheid> My dad needs insulin before every meal, he still eats garbage and candy, and his blood sugar is lower than mine by far.

13:25 <Cepheid> Hum.  Did that song get renamed?  Persona 3's "final boss" track.  "Battle for Everyone's Souls" is what it was initially called, last I remember.  Now it's been changed to "Battle Hymn of the Soul."

13:47 <Cepheid> Fun, got my maze generator working.  Though, it's currently flawed.  Creates mazes, yeah.  But because of the way it works, there's a single point from which the maze springs out, and it's visible where the maze originated.

13:54 * Ali sniffs DashedRainbows back

13:55 <Cepheid> !link https://youtu.be/Tg71Smld1II This should have been a stratum theme for EON.

13:55 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

13:55 <Cepheid> Instead, it was delegated to a "shrine" map.

13:55 <Cepheid> !link https://youtu.be/8Cu0J6gRpPg ... Of course, it may also be a stratum theme as well. o3o

13:56 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

13:56 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Etrian Odyssey Nexus - Music: Yggdrasil Labyrinth

13:56 * DashedRainbows smells like bird horse

13:59 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Etrian Odyssey Nexus - Music: Eastern Shrine

14:01 <Ali> So what is up with a lot of games using Yggdrasil as a name of something?

14:03 <Cepheid> I haven't got a clue.

14:03 <Cepheid> That said, Etrian Odyssey isn't necessarily about Yggdrasil.  It's just the most convenient name to use for the translation of the game's central object.

14:04 <Cepheid> The series' official name is "Labyrinth of the World Tree"

14:04 <Cepheid> However, the only World Tree most people are generally familiar with is Yggdrasil, from Norse Mythology.

14:04 <Ali> Tales uses Yggdrasil a ton

14:05 <Cepheid> If I had to hazard a more specific guess..

14:05 *** Quits: Googie (Googol@gnaws.on.keratin.and.ears) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

14:05 <Cepheid> Yggdrasil is the World Tree, that is, it holds multiple worlds.  In a series in which multiple games are connected in some manner, Yggdrasil works as a connecting element.

14:06 <Cepheid> Of course, the Tales series is a bit... weird.

14:06 <Ali> Hmm, did Lloyd name the new world tree Yggdrasil?

14:06 <Cepheid> There's basically two worlds that the games rely upon.  The games themselves are simply one of those worlds at some point in a timeline, relative to another

14:06 <Cepheid> Like Tales of Symphonia is supposedly the same world as the one depicted in Phantasia.

14:06 <Ali> The Great Kharlan Tree died

14:07 <Ali> Never played Phantasia

14:07 <Ali> Only ToS and ToS:DoaNW

14:07 <Cepheid> I said "supposedly"

14:07 <Cepheid> The worlds have no physical similarity.

14:07 <Cepheid> And don't actively reference one another.

14:07 <Cepheid> As I understand it, Symphonia is a prequel to Phantasia.

14:08 * Ali nods, ponders working towards her rocket launch or something else

14:08 <Cepheid> This is why various elements recur in certain games.

14:08 <Ali> And all the summon spirits have the same names? :P

14:08 <Cepheid> Yes.

14:08 <Cepheid> And why the spirits appear in some games and not others.

14:08 <Cepheid> There's two worlds.  One has the spirits, the other doesn't.

14:09 <Cepheid> If a given game has Spirits, it's part of the Phantasia/Symphonia world.

14:09 <Cepheid> If not, it's part of the alternative world.

14:09 <Cepheid> If anything, it's possible Symphonia was designed with the intent to explain that.

14:09 <Ali> So Cepheid in my current Factorio run, I have all three of the circuits being produced now.

14:10 <Cepheid> Nice.

14:10 <Ali> Though blues are still a bit slow along with the reds

14:10 <Ali> But hey, its a start

14:10 <Cepheid> Yeah.

14:11 <Ali> I've gotta refocus a tiny bit cause my stink cloud is starting to push out to large bug bases

14:11 <Ali> And my current laser defense barely holds off now

14:11 <Ali> I mean 66 laser damage and a 2.6 RoF isn't bad

14:11 <Cepheid> In regards to story, I've defined a storyline that, in effect, takes place across different planets that know nothing about one another.

14:12 <Ali> But when fighting 30+ bug bases, its quite hard to push into the bases to start taking them down instead of just holding back the bugs.

14:12 <Cepheid> Personal Laser Defense, Nukes.

14:13 <Ali> And with all the spiters and worms puking at you, makes it hard to stay mobile to keep them from hitting you

14:13 <Ali> I'm using PLD, but the damage is just a bit weak for now

14:13 <Ali> God if I see a behemoth

14:13 <Ali> Though I'm pretty good on resources so I don't feel that I need to push out too much more

14:15 <Cepheid> Heh.

14:15 <Ali> Though do you know anything about headphones Cepheid?

14:15 <Cepheid> Heavens no.

14:16 <Ali> Its ok, didn't think so

14:16 <Cepheid> If I did, I would have a pair that didn't give me headaches. o3o

14:16 <Ali> My noise cancelling headset is kinda....crackling on me

14:17 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsVWkAq1s0U A new asdfmovie!

14:17 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

14:17 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about asdfmovie12

14:19 <Ali> I like trains *ran over*

14:20 <Cepheid> Heh.

14:20 <Cepheid> Hum.. Astral Chain is out.  Shoulda saved for it.

14:22 <Ali> And, other than one that should probably not been in that

14:22 <Ali> that was weaksauce

14:24 <Ali> So far Cepheid in Factorio, I feel better about most things, but I still feel like my science lab designs feel weak

14:26 <Ali> Also its funny that 3 centerfuges has made me 600+ U235

14:26 <Cepheid> Science labs are hard to do.

14:26 <Cepheid> Because they have up to, what, 5 types of science packs?  Or is it 7?

14:27 <Cepheid> Ah, it's 7.

14:27 <Ali> 7 total, 6 before the endgame, one is endgame

14:27 <Cepheid> Yeah, the issue then is making sure all the labs get at least one pack of each type.

14:27 <Cepheid> There's two approaches I know of that work well.

14:27 <Ali> The all from one insert

14:27 <Ali> And the two lanes on each side

14:27 <Cepheid> That one's one of them, yeah.

14:27 <Cepheid> Okay, 3 types, then.

14:28 <Ali> There's a 3rd type?

14:28 <Cepheid> There's a third variant that's a bit more complex, and also results in something colourful.

14:28 <Ali> Of course

14:28 <Cepheid> Basically, people create what is known as a rainbow wave.

14:29 <Cepheid> How it works is that they use splitters to ensure that all the science packs are mixed evenly across multiple lanes.

14:29 *** Joins: LunaticHell (LunaticHell@Pony-bhv3uo.dynamic.qsc.de)

14:29 <LunaticHell> goooooooooooooooooood morning, equestria

14:29 <LunaticHell> I just came up with a horrible joke :D

14:29 <Cepheid> So that no matter how many lanes run up against a line of labs, they will always get one or more of each pack type.

14:29 <Ali> Heh

14:30 <LunaticHell> So how do devilish weebs go?

14:30 <LunaticHell> Nic oni oni

14:30 * Ali doesn't get it!

14:30 <Ali> Cepheid, one thing I am glad about in Factorio is my train layout

14:30 <LunaticHell> *whisper* nico nico ni

14:30 <Ali> Cause you remember when I was just thowing down rails willy nilly

14:31 <Cepheid> Yep. :P

14:31 <LunaticHell> So you managed to rail it in?

14:32 <Cepheid> I'll be dead honest, there's only one reason I had any reasonable "superior" skill with trains, Ali.

14:32 <Cepheid> And that's because I played a game that involved creating transit routes for goods delivery.

14:32 <Cepheid> Many of the feature of that game's train system are implemented in Factorio.

14:33 <Ali> I see

14:33 <Cepheid> Transport Tycoon Deluxe.

14:33 <Cepheid> The only features missing are tunnels and bridges.

14:33 <Ali> I should've figured it was that game

14:33 <Cepheid> Or overpasses, rather.

14:34 <Ali> Well I've got stink inching too close to a bug base

14:34 <Ali> Soo time to do the whoop whoop whoop shuffle

14:34 <Cepheid> At one point I tried to determine if tunnels were viable.  That was back around 17.30 or so.

14:34 <Cepheid> But if I recall, I deemed it impossible with the way the API is right now.

14:34 <Cepheid> Or rather, then.

14:35 <Ali> Didn't it cause said train to poof and then randomly reappear and didn't look correct?

14:35 <Cepheid> That was using a really obscure and roundabout method, yeah.

14:35 <Cepheid> It involved teleporting stations, basically.

14:35 <Cepheid> Trains would arrive at a station, then get teleported to another station.  That's how one person did it.

14:37 <Ali> So laser defense now deals 78 damage a shot

14:38 <Ali> You know, I wish they wouldn't show the upgrades as percentages

14:38 <Ali> Cause when I think 50%, I'm thinking of the current value

14:40 <Cepheid> Dangit.

14:40 <Cepheid> Now I'm investigating the feasibility of tunnels and overpasses again.

14:41 <Ali> No Cepheid, no more coding for you!

14:41 * Ali puts RazorSharpFang onto Cepheid

14:41 <Cepheid> Heh.

14:41 <Cepheid> Not coding, just thinking.

14:41 <Cepheid> There are a few basic problems to overcome, depending on which type of passing element I use.

14:42 <Cepheid> The common trait is preventing collisions.

14:42 <Cepheid> The game lacks an understanding of "above" or "below"

14:42 <Ali> Yet has underground belts :P

14:43 <Cepheid> Those are a hardcoded concept.

14:43 <Cepheid> The engine understands below there, because it's coded to.

14:43 <Cepheid> Trains, they all exist on a single layer, there is no above or below.

14:43 <Cepheid> So if two rail sections intersect, even if one is graphically expressed as being above another, the game will still see those two rail sections intersecting.

14:44 <Ali> Really tunnels aren't needed in Factorio due to cliffs just being an unmovable line of rocks

14:44 <Cepheid> And trains going along the track that goes underneath won't be able to continue until the train going overhead.

14:44 <Cepheid> Not the reason I want tunnels and bridges, Ali.

14:44 <Ali> You just don't want to use the roundabouts :P

14:45 <Cepheid> There are limits to junctions that can be resolved using tunnels or bridges.

14:45 <Cepheid> So yeah, I don't want to use the roundabouts.

14:45 <Ali> Then again, factorio trains are simple 1 car designs

14:45 <Ali> I don't think I've ever had two cars on the same train

14:45 <Cepheid> Honestly..

14:45 <Cepheid> The game's resources are wonky.

14:46 <Cepheid> The size, density and richness increases waaaaay too fast.

14:46 <Cepheid> You don't need to go excrutiatingly far out to find 2 to 3m ore patches.

14:46 <Cepheid> In fact, I would kind of prefer it if the distance system didn't exist.

14:46 <Ali> What do you mean

14:46 <Ali> Like a patch might be 1M or 20M closeby?

14:47 <Cepheid> As you go further out, richness increases.

14:47 <Ali> But so do bug density

14:47 <Cepheid> Yeah, but once you hit those 20m patches, you're pretty much set for the game.

14:47 <Ali> That's what stopped the last world we did, cause I was lagging so hard

14:47 <Cepheid> Yeah, resources, bugs, everything.

14:47 <Cepheid> It all just increases in size, density and richness as you go out.

14:47 <Cepheid> It's annoying.

14:47 <Ali> Heck I'd almost say 10M is set

14:48 <Ali> I found 8M coal close to my starting base

14:48 <Cepheid> It'd be nice if the amounts were even and consistent, no matter how far you went, with the occasional chance for an increase in density and richness.

14:48 <Ali> Barely have a dent in it

14:48 <Ali> Well you can modify the settings

14:48 <Cepheid> It still creates that scaling setup, though.

14:48 <Cepheid> The further out you go, the better the resources.

14:49 * Ali nods

14:49 <Cepheid> I'd prefer an approach that picks a few different variables, and creates a patch based on that, that ISN'T scaled with distance.

14:49 <Cepheid> In order to do that though, I'd have to override the game's ore generator.

14:49 <Cepheid> Which is possible, given RSO.

14:49 <Ali> And I get gunshy until certain techs are done

14:49 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, with my ideal setup..

14:49 <Cepheid> Bugs would be confined to the same constraints.

14:50 <Ali> Heck I remember we used to run around in tanks destroying everything

14:50 <Ali> Now I don't even touch the tank

14:50 <Cepheid> Their density and richness follow a rough average, with variation.  Can be smaller than average.  Can be larger than average.

14:50 <Ali> other than to mow down large ammounts of forest

14:50 <Cepheid> The average however, is consistent, regardless of distance.

14:50 * Ali nod nods

14:50 <Cepheid> All that changes is that bugs will get stronger due to pollution factor.

14:51 <Cepheid> If anything, it'd require tweaking pollution.

14:51 <Cepheid> Hum.

14:51 <Cepheid> It's not impossible for me to do this, I have the skill and knowledge.

14:52 <Cepheid> I just need the information that the game uses for generating patches, and just set the richness of them accordingly.

14:53 <Cepheid> Instead of an exponential growth based on distance, switch to a static range of ore per square of ore, and when a field is generated, each square is set to a value within that range.

14:53 <Cepheid> The static range can be set differently for each ore type, resulting in lower densities for some ores, higher for others.

14:56 <Cepheid> Plus, there's also the infinite ores mod, which can be abused a tad.

14:56 <Cepheid> But that's unrealistic, so..

14:56 <Cepheid> Mind, the benefit of it is in regards to having to disassemble stuff.

14:57 <Cepheid> If you build this massive mining facility, then mine up all the static ore, and all that's left behind is a small patch of low-yield copper or iron ore, you can just deconstruct a part of the facility, but keep it running.

14:58 <Cepheid> The benefit being that you don't have to deconstruct the whole thing.  It'll always provide something, at least.  The incentive then is exploring further out for new patches.

14:58 <Cepheid> Hum... I wonder.

14:58 <Cepheid> Ali, prospecting.  You think it'd be an interesting mechanic?

14:58 <Ali> What would that be, fishing for ore out of water/

14:58 <Cepheid> No.

14:59 <Cepheid> Prospecting is the process of looking for ore in a field, usually.  As depicted by shows and such, anyways.

14:59 <Cepheid> Basically, you find evidence of ores in a region, so you know it's there, somewhere.

14:59 <Cepheid> So you start exploring around with tools to find the ore, then once it's found, you start mining it.

14:59 <RazorSharpFang> Well, if it's abundant enough

15:00 <Cepheid> Since the game's set in the future, I imagine simple tools for doing this would already exist.

15:01 <Cepheid> So you find small, scattered, extremely-low-yield patches on the surface, then use tools to map it out.

15:01 <Cepheid> Granted, a better approach might be to not show the ore patch on the minimap instead.

15:02 <Cepheid> There's all sorts of ideas.

15:02 <Cepheid> The most likely idea I'd implement first is just spreading resources out and disabling the distance scaling stuff.

15:03 <Cepheid> Then after that, look into trains.  Entities can be teleported, but the API says not all entities support this, and trains are a tricky thing because they are actually made up of multiple entities.

15:03 <Cepheid> It's just making sure the trains stay at full speed when they approach a teleporting spot.

15:03 <Cepheid> And that they can also path from one teleporter entrance to another.

15:03 <Cepheid> *WITHOUT* the game spazzing and thinking two trains are gonna collide.

15:04 <Cepheid> That is how tunnels would work for an initial version.

15:04 <Cepheid> AKA:  Portals.

15:04 <Cepheid> In fact, that'd be the best way to implement overpasses and underpasses, really.  Just use the technology of portals to solve it.

15:04 <Cepheid> But, again, the game needs to know how to path through them to reach a destination. o3o

15:05 <Ali> Now you're thinking with Portals

15:05 <Cepheid> And right now?  The pathfinding algorithm can't be modified.  Not without... a hack job.

15:05 <Cepheid> You're familiar with SKSE for Skyrim, which allows you to use that beautiful SkyUI, I assume?

15:05 *** Joins: Googie (Googol@gnaws.on.keratin.and.ears)

15:05 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Googie

15:06 <Ali> How can I tell something in Factorio to turn off if liquid storage is below a certain threshold?

15:06 <Cepheid> Circuit network.

15:06 <Cepheid> Have it emit a signal when liquid stored is above a certain threshold.

15:06 * Ali baps Cepheid gently, knew it was that, but doesn't know the right combo

15:07 <Ali> In other words, I don't know what I need to tell it that

15:07 <Cepheid> Let me see.

15:07 <Ali> Basically i want a chem plant to stop turning heavy oil to light oil if the reserve tank is below a certain threshold

15:07 <Cepheid> Start by hooking up all your fluid tanks with a wire.

15:08 <Cepheid> They should all use the same wire colour.

15:08 <Ali> odd, it won't let me connect a wire to the chem lab

15:09 <Cepheid> There's another way to fix that.

15:09 <Cepheid> Got the Power Switch available to build?

15:09 <Ali> Nah, I"m just at Laser weapon speed 6, no way I researched circuit network :P

15:10 <Cepheid> Hold on a moment,.  Gonna boot my PC.

15:10 <Cepheid> I don't remember the UI, and I'd like to describe it.

15:10 *** Quits: RazorSharpFang (RazorSharpF@Pony-2s2dhc.tpgi.com.au) (Connection closed)

15:10 <Ali> Still doesn't like me trying to connect to the chem lab

15:11 <Cepheid> Yeah.

15:11 <Cepheid> I'm gonna explain in a moment.

15:11 <Cepheid> Well, in a few minutes, after I download 1.2GB of data.

15:13 <Cepheid> Basically, you'll wire the tanks to the input of a decider combinator.  Then the output of the decider combinator to a power switch.  The power switch will connect two power poles, one which provides power, one which needs to receive power.  Your chem lab will be next to the one that needs to receive power.

15:13 <Cepheid> When the combinator detects a certain signal, it'll activate the power switch and power the chem lab.  When that signal isn't detected, it'll disable the power switch, cutting power to the chemlab.

15:14 <Cepheid> Sounds complex.  It isn't.  I'll take a screenshot of the setup once I make it right quick.

15:15 <Cepheid> After this I need to go take a shower and head out.  I need to buy some more t-shirts.

15:23 *** Quits: LunaticHell (LunaticHell@Pony-bhv3uo.dynamic.qsc.de) (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)

15:31 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/QSNHrFd.png Best I could do to explain.

15:32 <Ali> Ok, but how do I get copper wire to attac....nevermind...

15:32 <Cepheid> Shift+click a pole with wire out to clear any connections, then while holding wire, click the base of the pole, then the base of another pole.

15:33 <Cepheid> It's not a common operation, so I won't criticize you for not knowing how to do it. :P

15:33 <Cepheid> Hell I had to look up how to do it.

15:33 <Ali> No no

15:33 <Ali> I was going to ask how to I get a copper wire to attach to the power switch

15:33 <Ali> But the dumbass that I was for that moment remembered that copper wire is in a different part of the crafting menu...

15:34 <Cepheid> Yep.

15:34 <Cepheid> It's a little wonky that way.

15:34 <Cepheid> Essentially, to start, all fluid tanks output a signal by default, that is transmitted with their respective fluid icon, and a count.

15:34 <Cepheid> When you hook multiple tanks up, the amount is actually summed.

15:35 <Cepheid> So if you have two tanks hooked up on one wire, the report will be from 0 to 50,000.  If it's just one tank, 0 to 25,000.

15:35 <Cepheid> So if you wanted a threshold of 50%, you'd set the combinator to look for 25,000.

15:37 <Cepheid> Math symbol meanings, by the way:  < - Less than.  > - Greater than.  = - Exactly equal to.  ≤ - Less than or equal to.  ≥ - Greater than or equal to.  ≠ - Not equal to.

15:38 <Cepheid> Thus, Water Count ≤ 25,000 means "Water count is less than or equal to 25,000"

15:38 <Ali> Ok I think I got the power switch to work

15:38 <Ali> It also has a built in setting on it

15:38 <Cepheid> Yeah, it does.

15:38 <Cepheid> You can manually toggle it.

15:39 <Ali> So you use the combiner to read the storage

15:39 <Ali> And it'll auto flip the switch when the right conditions are met?

15:39 <Cepheid> Yes.

15:39 <Cepheid> The switch is flipped on only when a signal is emitted from the combinator, that it's expecting.

15:40 <Cepheid> The combinator reads input, compares it to some state and value, then emits a signal on the output.  Then other combinators, or devices, can read that signal, and do stuff.

15:40 <Ali> No no, I'm just trying to make sure I have the switch's conditions match the decoder

15:40 <Cepheid> In the example I showed you, it'll enable power to the chem lab if there is more than whatever amount of fluid you need.

15:41 <Cepheid> So if it's changed to use oil signals instead of water, the chem lab would be powered if the amount of oil in the tanks is greater than whatever amount you specify.

15:42 <Cepheid> Anyways, I need to go take a shower, then head out.  I'll be back later.  I'll have my phone, so I can talk while on the bus, but once I'm at the mall I'll be unavailable altogether.

15:42 <Cepheid> If you have any questions, feel free to ask ADragonDreaming or Schism, or RazorSharpFang if he shows back up.  In fact, Razor might be your best bet, as I don't think ADra or Schism played with circuits.

18:28 <Cepheid> It's just... Platinum Games, as far as I know, has only released, what?  Bayonetta I and II on the Switch?  And yet, they seem to be far beyond those games already.

18:28 <Cepheid> But, as I stated, Nintendo's been... tweaking the hardware.

18:28 <Cepheid> And the software.

18:28 <Cepheid> They apparently, at the behest of developers, added another clock mode higher up.  Basically, the Switch can handle higher temps than initially reported, and thus, more power.

18:29 <Cepheid> Hell, as it is, with CFW, the Switch can be overclocked even further beyond the software-constrained limits Nintendo has in place.

18:29 <Ali> As far as consoles go, They've only bombed 3 of them

18:29 <Cepheid> There's a video on what they managed to do with it.

18:30 <Ali> Virtual Boy, Game Boy Micro, and Wii U

18:32 <Cepheid> Yeah, the Wii U wasn't the greatest.  That said, people are getting use out of the hardware.

18:32 <Schism> I should note that the Satellaview didn't work out particularly well.

18:33 <Cepheid> That too, yeah.

18:33 <Cepheid> As it is, I'm debating taking apart my old DSi.

18:33 <Cepheid> Ye know..  The english voices in this game are decent enough I'm willing to keep them.

18:35 <Ali> But remembah Cepheid, you must sthap Doctah Wiwy

18:35 <Schism> I'm still bemused by Krile's English VA.

18:37 <Cepheid> Oh?

18:39 <Schism> Yeah, she went to a comparatively deep voice, which is a bit odd for a Lalafell.

18:42 <Cepheid> Heh.

18:42 <Cepheid> Small body, deep voice.

18:42 <Cepheid> They did an interesting take on the silent protaganist for this game.

18:43 <Cepheid> You can choose between a female and a male character.  Whichever you choose, the opposite-gendered character does all the talking for you

18:43 <Cepheid> They have full voice-overs for the main characters, it's just yours is... a silent protaganist, while your sibling does all the speaking.

18:45 <LunaticHell> gooooooooooooooood morning, equestria

18:45 <LunaticHell> Today I'm unreasonably angry o. o

18:46 <LunaticHell> I wanted to see an anime and the universe had its fun with me.

18:47 <DashedRainbows> Hiya

18:47 <LunaticHell> hey

18:47 <LunaticHell> My regular anime site went down, so I looked somewhere else

18:48 <LunaticHell> I wanted to check the long overdue Dog Days'' out

18:48 <Schism> Cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria!

18:48 <LunaticHell> I finally found a site that did offer it. So I start the video and...

18:49 <LunaticHell> ...that's a gundam

18:49 <Schism> Blurp.  Time to look for torrents?

18:49 <LunaticHell> It gets stupider

18:49 <LunaticHell> I go to google, tell it that I want to "WATCH A GODDAMN ANIME"

18:49 <LunaticHell> yeah

18:49 <LunaticHell> https://myanimelist.net/anime/9646/Goddamn/video

18:50 <DashedRainbows> Oof

18:50 <LunaticHell> You win this round, irony.

18:52 <Cepheid> LunaticHell:  Watch Made in Abyss.

18:52 * DashedRainbows makes sad horse noises

18:53 <Schism> Hmm.  Current active stream for Dog Days is 1080p and 13 GB in size.

18:53 <Schism> Er, torrent.

18:53 <LunaticHell> New season out, Ceph?

18:54 <Cepheid> Nah.  Just if you haven't seen it, check it out.

18:54 <Cepheid> That said, there's a movie coming next year, which is supposed to fill the void of season 2.

18:54 <LunaticHell> Can't wait to meet the new contender for "best daddy", who's in to steal the title from the dad from FMA.

18:56 <Cepheid> I haven't seen much beyond the anime.  I have the managa up to like, book 5 or 6 I think?  I haven't gotten around to reading them yet.

18:56 <Schism> The 'best father' award of all time goes to Gendo Ikari.

18:58 <LunaticHell> Hard to argue with that. He also hands out the best presents at chrismas eva.

18:58 <Cepheid> Gendo Ikari... sounds familiar.

18:58 <LunaticHell> *whisper* get in the damn mecha, shinji

18:58 <Cepheid> Oh, him.

18:59 <LunaticHell> I used to had the same beard for a time

18:59 <Cepheid> I dunno, I would imagine the Best Dad in Made in Abyss is pretty high up there.  At least, it has some pretty Best Parents in the first place.

18:59 <LunaticHell> I love how chill he is about everything

18:59 <LunaticHell> A good dad who does not get mad.

19:00 <LunaticHell> ...mad as in angry, not the other kind...because *sharp inhale*

19:00 <LunaticHell> yeah

19:01 <LunaticHell> By the way, have you already seen boar head cosplay?

19:12 <Schism> Hm.  The Journey to the West remains fun.  https://twitter.com/SCMPNews/status/1167015283334291457

19:15 <Cepheid> So, this game shows both the English name of some stuff, and a subtitle underneath in Japanese.

19:24 <Schism> This is an excellent point: the people who jacked Hack Dorsey's twitter didn't do anything interesting with it, like say, "I'm pleased to announce we'll be merging with Facebook."

19:29 <Ali> And the first rocket is prepped for launch

19:31 <Cepheid> Oh no.  Investigation.  I'm going to mess up the answers so many times. o3o

19:33 * Schism claps at Ali! And sneaks into the rocket, replacing the satellite with a fish.

19:33 <Schism> Cepheid: Get a pad of foolscap and write down notes?  o3o

19:34 <Ali> Jokes on you, the thing doesn't autolaunch

19:34 <Ali> And I've done the fish thing

19:35 <Cepheid> Fortunately, the game has a note-taking function, but ye know..

19:35 <Cepheid> That might not be a bad idea.

19:35 <Cepheid> The system might not note down enough details for me.

19:35 <Schism> Mmm.

19:35 <Schism> Hah.  When you're trying to relax, but everyone else around you is hyperactive: https://twitter.com/ArchmageEternal/status/1167581534087458816

19:57 * PinkieShy lives in South Carolina at the coast

19:58 <Ali> So it moved from Florida to you huh PinkieShy

19:59 <PinkieShy> Ali I don't know what it's going to do.. What if it does nothing at all..

19:59 <Ali> My prediction will be it turns away from the coast but that's just me.

19:59 <PinkieShy> I hope so Ali i hope your right :)

19:59 <Ali> That's the problem with their doomsday reporting

19:59 <PinkieShy> Apparently walmart has pallets of water every where in the store.

19:59 <Ali> Thing has a massive cone over florida OMG WORST THING EVER

20:00 <Ali> Then it makes a turn for the SE coast instead

20:00 <Ali> Now people in Florida are gonna be going WTF

20:00 <Ali> Cause remember, Florida already declared a state of emergency

20:00 <Ali> And then there could be a chance nothing happens

20:00 <PinkieShy> South Carolina declared that earlier.

20:01 <Ali> We'll just have to see what it does

20:05 <Ali> The sooner it makes a turn NW the sooner it might start being turned out to sea.

20:11 <Schism> I still wish that one of these days, a hurricane might wipe a certain winter resort entirely off the map.

20:11 <Schism> Too much collateral, though.

20:20 <PinkieShy> Who knows..

20:21 <PinkieShy> If we get anything from it.. Chances are we might get snow here..

20:21 <PinkieShy> People that has lived here all their life always tells me whenever we get a hurricane it usually will snow later that year lol

20:45 <Schism> Poor Direwolf.

20:45 <Schism> Such a mean trick was that.

20:46 <PinkieShy> Direwolf is a werewolf role :P

20:47 <PinkieShy> Direwolf picks a companion and if the Companion dies so does direwolf.. XD

20:47 <Schism> In this case, direwolf20 is a Minecraft streamer.

20:48 <Schism> Someone tricked him into falling into the void.  :S

20:49 <ADragonDreaming> That wasn't a trick.

20:49 <ADragonDreaming> Pahimar was going to gift him with elevators.

20:49 <Schism> Ah.  And he jumped a little too soon.

20:49 <ADragonDreaming> Dire followed at precisely the wrong time.

22:17 <ADragonDreaming> The thing I like doing the least in Minecraft: mining.

22:24 * Schism sets up a pair of cobblestone generators. "Huzzah! No more mining." He then has to break the cobblestone down into dust with a hammer. "Boo."

22:31 <Lumindia_> gottem

22:32 <Schism> La hee?

22:34 <ADragonDreaming> Ah. Hm.

22:34 <ADragonDreaming> I see the auto-installer installed 32-bit java, thus why I can't allocate more than 1024 MB.

22:34 <ADragonDreaming> despite a 62-bit OS and 8 gb ram.

22:35 <ADragonDreaming> silly oracle.

22:35 <ADragonDreaming> ...64-bit OS

22:35 <Schism> Oracle is a 62-bit OS?

22:35 <Schism> Er, heh.  :S

22:35 <Schism> runs on one*

22:35 <Schism> Anyway, yes, that whole thing is ridiculous.

22:35 <ADragonDreaming> typos and errors all around

22:36 <Schism> I forget exactly what memory allocation I used, but I know I had to point Forge in the right direction for the right JRE.

22:36 <Schism> It's very '90s boot disk'.

22:37 <Schism> Adjusting environment settings to fit a set of mods, that is to say.

22:38 <ADragonDreaming> there we go, 512 mb minimum, 5120 mb max.

22:41 <ADragonDreaming> huzzah, multimc does it well.

22:42 <ADragonDreaming> I don't remember exactly why, but I remember the twitch launcher being a non-starter for me.

22:42 <ADragonDreaming> ...was it because it required a twitch accont?

22:42 <Schism> That might have been it?
