00:18 <Cepheid> So all I did on the server tonight was clear away some bugs, surveyed the edge of our island, and created an explosives factory feeding explosive shells and cliff explosives.  I'll speed up the cliff explosives tomorrow.

00:29 <Cepheid> We're gonna have to do something about the bugs soon though.  They are expanding into what open spaces they can find.  And their bases are getting larger.  Either we take a trio of tanks loaded to the brim with titanium ammo, bots and repair packs, and purge the island, or we make a beeline for artillery.

00:32 <Cepheid> Maybe also load up on hundreds of cliff explosives for flattening the land and all that.  Then I'd see to exploiting all of the resources out there.

00:35 <ADragonDreaming> with my particular lag on the server driving a vehicle is a harrowing prospect.

00:35 <ADragonDreaming> I'd probably hitch a ride and then establish and maintain the turret creep.

00:35 <ADragonDreaming> or provide rocket launcher support

00:42 <PinkieShy> ...

00:42 <PinkieShy> There is a place in my state called "Cat Island"

00:43 <DashedRainbows> Yay sc

00:44 <Cepheid> Given that in mind, during my after-class work, I'll work towards getting Artillery unlocked.  I have all afternoon anyways.  Want to attend the Kendo Club tomorrow.  And that is at 7 PM.

00:46 * Schism looks at an LTTP run where the Moon Pearl is in Checkerboard Cave. "...okay."

00:52 <Ali> Hmmm

00:52 <Ali> So what tech are we at right now Cepheid?

00:53 <Ali> Cause we could possibly turret creep them off the island by amassed laser spam

00:53 <Ali> Though it does depend on how big the bugs are, Not sure if lasers can handle behemoths

00:55 * Ali sits on ADragonDreaming and Cepheid

00:55 <ADragonDreaming> We have rubies

00:56 <ADragonDreaming> We worked through the built-up refined tin and have a more extensive refining process for it

00:56 <ADragonDreaming> we don't yet have laser manufacturing happening

00:56 <ADragonDreaming> Don't remember if we research lasers...

00:57 <Ali> Oh we did

00:57 <Ali> Though I don't really want to pop on alone to be honest

00:59 <Cepheid> We have some pretty high-grade all-electric turrets available.  The issue is getting them powered for creep purposes.

00:59 * SunsetShimmer looks at latest EG article, lols

01:00 <Cepheid> I have a few ideas though.

01:00 * Ali slides up next to SunsetShimmer~

01:01 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Price of Fear 2 Now Released! [ http://tinyurl.com/y68evmpr ]

01:01 * SunsetShimmer boops dat Ali! ;3

01:01 <Ali> There's one I'd say to be careful with, cause it says it destroys walls

01:01 * Ali squeaks and hides under SunsetShimmer

01:01 <SunsetShimmer> x3

01:02 <Cepheid> Not really concerned about the walls anymore.

01:04 <Ali> The photonic cannon is the best

01:04 <Ali> Deals base 250 laser and 250 explosive

01:04 <Ali> But it says the energy consumption is a lie

01:06 <ADragonDreaming> When you say "available"

01:06 <ADragonDreaming> you mean "Able to be built" as opposed to "built"

01:06 <Ali> The electric one seems weak

01:06 <ADragonDreaming> yes?

01:07 <Ali> There's only 5 turrets in the game, minus the flamethrower

01:07 <Ali> The copper shotgun, the iron minigun, the laser, the electric shock, and the photon cannon

01:08 * Schism plays this song for Adra. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGe3WchAKKo

01:08 <ADragonDreaming> hmm... electric arc turret needs some testing, is what it needs.

01:13 <Cepheid> Infinity mod to the rescue!

01:14 <Cepheid> But yeah, I meant available to craft.  The mod is designed such that you cannot unlock stuff you won't be able to build.

01:16 <Ali> We could try to build lazors and spam the upgrades to them and test them out

01:16 <Ali> But I don't know, doing it alone could be dangerous

01:17 <Ali> Ok Cepheid, please tell me you know how to fix this

01:18 <Ali> Its minor but stupid annoying

01:18 <Cepheid> Alternatively, due to my remote location to the server...

01:18 <Ali> When I alt tab out of Factorio, then back in, my stupid taskbar pops up in game

01:19 <Ali> Ok is the server not running the most recent IR?

01:19 <Cepheid> Just automate repair packs and tanks for me and I'll spend a night rampaging across the island.

01:19 <Cepheid> Probably not no.

01:19 * Ali flails, she updated hers T.T

01:19 <Cepheid> I actually have no way to automate updating it either.

01:20 <Ali> Guess I better roll back then

01:20 <ADragonDreaming> did IR update?

01:20 <Ali> Minor update

01:20 <Ali> No real gameplay changes it seems

01:20 <Cepheid> I can update IR.

01:20 <Ali> Its on .99.7

01:21 <Ali> I'll brb, guts committing sepaku right now

01:21 <Cepheid> As for your problem, I can only assume the task bar is set to "always on top" and that, for reasons unknown, it only ever seems to take effect with Factorio after alt-tabbing.  Next time it happens, do me a favour and try pressing ALT+Enter when Factorio is the active window.

01:22 <ADragonDreaming> Schism: nice music

01:22 <Cepheid> Hum, yeah.  Looks like the update is mostly locale and compatibility fixes.

01:22 <Cepheid> So easy to update this time around.

01:23 <Schism> Adra: Thought you'd played A Hat in Time, hence the link.  o3o;

01:25 <Cepheid> Updated.

01:25 <Cepheid> Server's back up too.

01:28 <ADragonDreaming> I haven't!

01:28 <ADragonDreaming> So.

01:28 <ADragonDreaming> Electric Arc turret

01:29 <ADragonDreaming> It is not as directly damaging as a laser, but the slow-down effect is noticeable.

01:29 <ADragonDreaming> Additionally, it does damage in a small AoE

01:30 <Ali> It changes it to windowed mode ce

01:30 <Ali> Cepheid *

01:31 <Ali> And I can't find the setting for the taskbar to always show on top

01:31 <Ali> Stupid Win 10

01:35 <ADragonDreaming> So yeah, Electric Arc turrets are a thing that I would recommend working into the general electric defenses.

01:35 <Ali> Ok guys, what happened to the tin line?

01:36 <ADragonDreaming> Don't remember until I get in.

01:36 <Ali> Cause red and green bottle production is halted

01:37 <ADragonDreaming> currently dling update

01:41 <Cepheid> Tin was damaged by changes to leave more room for smelting.

01:55 <PinkieShy> ...

02:01 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Nightly Discussion #1929 [ http://tinyurl.com/y3naq52w ]

02:16 <Cepheid> Tomorrow, I'm gonna do a bit of playing with circuits in Factorio.  Without spoiling how to do it, I want to create compact binary operation circuits.  AND, OR, XOR, NOT, NAND, NOR, etc.

02:16 <Cepheid> Along with simple input->binary on/off switches.

04:47 <Ali> Cepheid, when you wake up or whatever, Factorio character SOS, trapped on south side of island between the laser wall and the iron mine wall.  Low resources left to fight bugs, respawns took over area behind me and have pretty much cut me off from getting back to the base.

05:33 <Finwe> o3o?

05:35 * DashedRainbows tackles ConfusionRift

05:35 <ConfusionRift> Finwe: An actual toy... maybe I should've used Ali.

05:36 * ConfusionRift is on the floor now. 0_0

05:36 <DashedRainbows> Her squeak is unique

05:37 <DashedRainbows> Very mod and horsey

05:40 * DashedRainbows steals the toy from ConfusionRift and trots off

05:42 <ConfusionRift> :0

05:42 <ConfusionRift> My toy that squeaks like Ali!

05:43 <DashedRainbows> Nothing does

05:43 * ConfusionRift boops Ali. :P

07:10 * Finwe licks it.

07:10 <Ali> Oh it was facehoof

07:10 * Finwe facehoofs.

07:11 <Finwe> Then there's the !plothoof command.

07:11 <Ali> Isn't that a kick command?

07:11 <Ali> Either or, time for sleepies

07:12 <Finwe> If I remember correctly, it results in kick and a short ban.

07:12 <Ali> !lulaby

07:12 <Finwe> Good night!

07:12 <Ali> Yep, I can't spell

07:12 * Finwe hugs an Ali goodnight.

10:17 <Cepheid> Morning.

10:20 <ConfusionRift> Hallo.

10:20 * Jackie wishes Filly_Nightmares is real

10:20 * Filly_Nightmares nomfs Jackie face

10:21 <Cepheid> Yeah, Rifty.  The game supports scaling.  Can also just tell the videocard to do scaling for you through driver setup tools, etc.

10:22 <ConfusionRift> I spent the last hour and a half staring at a Game Gear size game window. :P

10:22 <ConfusionRift> But yeah, figured it out.

10:23 <Cepheid> Heh.

10:23 <Cepheid> How is the game going so far?

10:24 * ConfusionRift turns with a crooked smile.

10:24 <ConfusionRift> It is... interesting. :)

10:24 <Cepheid> That bad already huh?

10:25 <ConfusionRift> It's... it's a lot of classicvania trappings that just kinda stack together.

10:25 <ConfusionRift> On top of the traps, which so far have been rather predictable.

10:25 <ConfusionRift> Except for one.

10:26 <Cepheid> I got one bit of advice for you ahead of time.  It seems obvious, but given the nature of games today...

10:27 <Cepheid> Read the manual.  Engrishy as it is, it has a very important detail you need to keep in mind.

10:27 * ConfusionRift checks a table, as the game insists on him doing. "You're trapped now." He's locked in. he has no choice but to look at the tablet again. "You're dying now." He's dead.

10:28 <Cepheid> Hum.  Where was that one again?

10:28 <ConfusionRift> Something of Giants, I forget.

10:29 <Cepheid> Oh.  Mausoleum of the Giants.

10:29 <ConfusionRift> ^ That, yes.

10:29 *** Joins: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long)

10:29 <Cepheid> My memory isn't that good.  Don't remember that trap.   Damn.  Now I want to play again to follow along.

10:30 <Cepheid> That said I should warn you.

10:30 <ConfusionRift> Since I tried to go to the waterfall with no success and checked the sky waters that also have nowhere to go, I had no choice but to go there.

10:31 <ConfusionRift> Hmmm?

10:31 <Cepheid> There is a tablet thaf you should avoid reading twice.

10:31 <ConfusionRift> That's the one I was talking about.

10:31 <Cepheid> Yeah.  Don't do it.

10:31 <Cepheid> It enables hard mode.

10:31 <ConfusionRift> ...

10:32 <Cepheid> You saved after enabling it didn't you?

10:32 <ConfusionRift> I HOPE I get some sort of warning!

10:32 <ConfusionRift> I died, so I loaded the game before that.

10:32 <Cepheid> It does warn you.  In an obtuse manner.

10:32 <ConfusionRift> Then it's probably another.

10:32 <Cepheid> But yeah don't read that one again unless you want to fight more enemies.

10:33 <Cepheid> Its the tablet in the upper-left corner of a room that connects to the west and south.

10:33 <Cepheid> Erm Upper-right.

10:34 <Cepheid> Pretty sure its the tablet you read though.

10:34 <Cepheid> Did an Anubis-looking enemy pop up, activate a beam and murder you?

10:35 <ConfusionRift> Yes.

10:35 <Cepheid> Do not read that tablet twice.

10:35 <ConfusionRift> ...don't tell me loading did squat.

10:36 <Cepheid> If you died, you're fine.

10:36 <ConfusionRift> Okay... okay... Yeah, avoiding that thing at all cost. I know exactly where it is.

10:36 <Cepheid> That tablet is a trap.  It warns you, but it also plays on your curiousity.

10:37 <Cepheid> It basically tells you not to read it again, or you will die.  Or something like that.

10:38 <Cepheid> Of course, us players, scanning everything and still not quite aware of the fact that the ruins are out to bloody murder us, will fqll for it.

10:38 <ConfusionRift> I hate achievements are earned by falling for traps.

10:38 <Cepheid> Fortunately I think there are only two such achievements. :P

10:39 <ConfusionRift> Hard Mode has two. One for trapping you by reading it the first time, and another for activating hard mode.

10:39 <ConfusionRift> Getting shocked for "damaging precious artifacts" is another.

10:44 <Cepheid> Heh.  Gonna remind you one last time though.  Keep a notebook on hand.  You will need one.

10:45 <ConfusionRift> I have a doc open when I play.

10:46 <ConfusionRift> And yes, taking notes as well.

10:49 <ConfusionRift> Well... (sighs) Back to it!

10:53 <Cepheid> My dad thinks I'm cruel for convincing you to play La-Mulana.

10:54 <ConfusionRift> Has he played it? o_0

10:54 <ConfusionRift> Also, Schism did not help. :P

10:56 * Jackie picks up Filly_Nightmares

10:56 <Cepheid> No.  But he remembers when I played it.  I uh...  Wasn't on the full suite of meds at the time, and had one or two incidents.  He got concerned about me playing tbe game after a while because I became obsessed with it.

10:59 <Cepheid> But yeah.  Aside from the tips I advised, I won't help you until I think you're about to kill me.

11:00 <Cepheid> You're on your own.

11:01 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Morning Discussion #1703 [ http://tinyurl.com/y3h6w4of ]

11:04 * ConfusionRift makes sure to add the table issue on the notes.

11:05 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, if I feel that maybe I should put the controller down for a long time, I'll let you know. :P

11:06 <ConfusionRift> ....Hermes Boots. That's not subtle at all. :P

11:09 <Cepheid> Heh.

11:10 <Cepheid> Have you killed any bosses yet?

11:11 <ConfusionRift> Nope.

11:12 * Cepheid goes through the world map in his head.

11:14 * ConfusionRift sees a really long tablet scripture.

11:16 <Cepheid> Hum.  That game allows traversing to more areas than I recall, without various key items and such.  I'll have to keep this in mind.

11:17 <Cepheid> However in my mental mapping I've hit some roadblocks.

11:19 <Cepheid> But that may be because I don't recall where all the items are.  Also I am considering playing the game over the weekend.  On hard mode.

11:20 <Cepheid> That or work on the second game in the series. And finish it this time.

11:20 <Cepheid> I tried finishing it after the first game.  Suffered burnout from the style of game though.

11:21 * ConfusionRift nods.

11:21 <Cepheid> Second game in my opinion is a bit more fair on the puzzles and riddles.  But they made it harder, combat-wise.

11:22 <Cepheid> So, sorry to be a bother, but I'd like a general idea of where you are so far.  What have you acquired item-wise?

11:24 <ConfusionRift> Key items, or all items.

11:24 <Cepheid> Key.

11:25 <ConfusionRift> Laptop (durh), waterproof case, shell horn, holy grail, and hermes' boots.

11:25 <Cepheid> Just the key items will do.  Weapons and consumable items don't matter in regards to puzzle and progress.  Especially given some of them can be bought outright.

11:25 <ConfusionRift> I have not gotten to any boss fights yet.

11:25 <Cepheid> Oh.  You got the grail?  Nicely done.

11:26 <Cepheid> That one is a bit sneaky to get if I recall correctly.

11:26 <ConfusionRift> I scoured that first section as much as I could.

11:27 <Cepheid> Right right.  I did the same, heh.

11:27 <Cepheid> Though it tooo me considerably longer to find stuff.  That game taught me a lot about playing metroidvanias and exploration.

11:28 <Cepheid> Also about riddles, puzzles, taking notes and the like.  The game supports a note-taking system, and while it is useful for some puzzles, it is extremely limited.  20 or 40 notes, depending on software.

11:29 <Cepheid> You will come to understand why I want to create a game inspired by it.  In fact I've started working on the code again.  And tools.

11:31 <Cepheid> What I absolutely need right now is a map editor.  Tiled will suffice, but I need to implement some things through its limitations.  Parallax, for example, isn't directly supported, last I checked.

11:31 <Cepheid> Also need art resources.  But I'm broke and can't afford 'em.  So I gotta learn spriting and pixel arting myself.

11:34 <Cepheid> And music..

11:35 <Cepheid> For now, placeholder everything!

11:35 <ConfusionRift> Music resources are slightly easier to get I think.

11:36 <ConfusionRift> As for art and spriting, not so much.

11:37 <Cepheid> Dunno.  Been followinf an artist who puts up his resources for free with 0 attribution license.

11:38 <Cepheid> Might have a few resources I can use.  At least until I can learn on my own.

11:38 * ConfusionRift shrugs.

11:42 <ConfusionRift> I got Anvil Studio for MIDI stuff, and LMMS for other music with soundfonts and such. Both free.

11:43 <Lumindia> I live

11:43 * Lumindia boops all the ponies

11:45 <Cepheid> I'm not sure what I'd need.  As is I am currently just analyzing music I listen to.  Which reminds me that I forgot my headphones.

11:54 <ConfusionRift> It's interesting, because the music in the game sound like multiple cultures, which I believe is the idea.

12:21 <Cepheid> Yeah, it multi-cultural music.  It becomes far more apparent as you go in.

12:21 <Cepheid> What's the hint?

12:22 * Cepheid also does some coding.

12:23 <ConfusionRift> "Strength lies at the foot of Futo."

12:26 <ConfusionRift> Each table (except the obvious one) gives a story on what each giant represents.

12:27 <Cepheid> Heh.

12:29 <Cepheid> Hum, test today.  Not expecting to do well in it, given the professor's behaviour and my lack of interest due to her behaviour.

12:29 <Cepheid> I'm more inclined to do things my way regarding the class now.

12:30 <Cepheid> Study my own way, then pass her quizzes, tests, assignments, etc.  But I started that too late for today's test.

12:38 <Cepheid> Which is what my Japanese studies will entail later today.

12:38 <Cepheid> Along with writing practice for kanji.

12:39 <ConfusionRift> Okay, that hint is kinda pffft.

12:43 <ConfusionRift> Really game? Gonna do that?

12:43 * ConfusionRift sighs.

12:44 <ConfusionRift> I unlocked a relic... but it's literally a pixel away from me.

12:47 <Cepheid> Ah, heh, that.

12:47 <ConfusionRift> ...for later huh.

12:47 <Cepheid> I'll tell you right now, it's not something you can pick up, so that you don't go spending time trying to get to it.

12:47 <Cepheid> But it is important, yes.

12:47 <Cepheid> Ah, Mausoleum of the Giants.  One of my favourite areas 'cause music.

12:48 <ConfusionRift> Music hits me in the nostalgia for some reason.

12:49 * ConfusionRift moves on. He got a helmet earlier, and he can't find much else here. Unless... hmmm... checks notes.

12:52 <ConfusionRift> That almost killed me!

12:56 * ConfusionRift thinks he might cooked this one.

13:21 <Cepheid> Oh?  What do you have to do?

13:21 <ConfusionRift> Hit the face, no?

13:22 <Cepheid> Yeah.  Pretty much.

13:22 <ConfusionRift> Avoid the rubble, jump over the beam, and run to its face when it shoots its fist.

13:23 <ConfusionRift> Problem is when I whip, it doesn't always register. or it registers too low or too high.

13:23 <Cepheid> Okie.  You understood that much.  But yeah the game is a bit finicky with him and the hit box.  It was easier in the original.

13:23 <ConfusionRift> Also... really? 20 damage?

14:22 <Schism> Eeyup.

14:23 <RazorSharpFang> Dang it, Ceph, my Katakana is bad enough that I don't know what that says.

14:25 <Schism> Cephy: I forget if beating Sakit actually unlocks anything to start, aside from the backside door (of course).  I wanna say he can be avoided until the player has more HP...

14:26 <Schism> I know Ellmac and Bahamut are required for unlocking progress.

14:31 <Cepheid> "Test"

14:31 <Cepheid> Schism:  Truth told, beating the bosses unlocks nothing, usually.

14:31 <RazorSharpFang> I didn't recognise the katakana for `te` ...

14:32 <Cepheid> They are required to unlock certain events, though.

14:32 <Cepheid> You need to kill 3 or 4 of them before you unlock an NPC interaction.

14:32 <RazorSharpFang> テスト、now I see it.

14:32 <Schism> Cepheid: Well, I mean, Ellmac unlocks the Twin Labyrinths' poison puzzle (though you need the Twin Statue, too), and Bahamut unlocks one of the Seals.

14:52 <Cepheid> There's four groups for 「て」 form.

15:31 <Cepheid> What happened?

15:31 <Ali> A patch of the southern island is cleaned up a bit

15:32 <Cepheid> The bad?

15:32 <Ali> The issue is the bugs respawned behind me and I'm a bit trapped

15:32 <Cepheid> Are you on now?

15:32 <Ali> Oh no, this early morning my time

15:32 *** Quits: texasboykc09 (texasboykc0@vampire.bat.nest) (Quit: Leaving)

15:32 <Cepheid> Let me find an outlet and I'll hop on to assist you before I head out.

15:33 <Ali> I've only got 26 rockets, and no real good ammo left in high counts

15:33 <Cepheid> Unless you can wait for me to get home.

15:33 <Ali> And my laser turrets are set up to protect the new wall

15:33 <Ali> And no, there's no rush Cepheid

15:33 <Cepheid> Okay then.  So at home then.

15:33 <Ali> I was just pointing out I would need back up if I'm ever getting back on the server

15:34 <Ali> I've got 20 lasers defending the new south wall for now

15:34 <Ali> The idea is to keep pushing up from the bottom to our northern wall line

15:34 <Ali> But I didn't expect the bugs to reexpand behind me so quickly

15:35 <Ali> I cleaned up like 15 bases of spawners

15:35 <Ali> And somehow there's 3 new bases behind me

15:37 *** Quits: ryaxnb21 (ryaxnb@Pony-hj0ath.ca.comcast.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

15:44 <Cepheid> Yeah hence the need to wall off newly claimed regions.  So more don't slip by as you backtrack.

15:44 <Ali> I thought I was cleaning them up fast enough to not worry about that yet

15:45 <Ali> I had a plan to push to where the lasers are now and taking out every base before checking again behind me to make sure everything is still clear

15:45 <Ali> I just didn't expect them to rexpand so fast from like 3 bases.

15:47 <Cepheid> Yeah.  There are a lot of bases out there, preparing expansion groups.  They slip by a lot.

15:51 * Schism notes to Ali and Cepheid, "Freespace 2 is free on GoG."

15:51 <Ali> What I did Cepheid is I made a blueprint of a walled laser defense line, let the bots build that and then rocket the bugs to piss them off, and then run back to the wall

15:52 <Ali> Lasers melt bugs, run back, shoot a base or two down, run back

15:52 <Ali> Gotta be careful though, standing even half a second in big worm spit will kill you.

15:52 <Ali> I never saw my HP fall so fast

15:53 <Cepheid> Yep.

15:53 <Cepheid> I just take a tank, circle around the base, shoot bases, then drive away while taking out the swarm following me.  Repeat.

15:54 <Ali> Yeah but I like a more static approach

15:54 <Ali> At least until laser defense modules

15:54 <Ali> Cause crap those are broken even in IR

15:54 <Cepheid> Did either of you by chance automate either tanks or repair packs?

15:55 <Ali> Nope, there were other issues on the server and I was kinda hoping my idea would've been enough to start the push...

15:56 <Ali> Oh

15:56 <Ali> And *boops Cepheid*  You should've invested in Eff module 2's.  Your massed furnaces were killing the system

15:56 <Cepheid> Which furnaces?  Thr powerful ones?

15:57 <Ali> Didn't check those no

15:57 <Ali> I was looking at power data

15:57 <Ali> and our 120+ electric furnaces were pulling almost 20MW

15:58 <Cepheid> Most of the current furnaces were not built by me.

15:58 <Ali> So I slammed 50 of them with 2 eff 2's to drop their power demands by almost 200kW each

15:58 <Ali> The ones by the ore washing area

15:58 <Ali> There's a huge long line of iron converting furnaces

15:58 <Cepheid> Those are ADra's design.

15:58 * Ali will boop him again then later

15:58 <Ali> Also our conversion rates seem to be off as well

15:59 <Ali> As a lot of furnaces are sitting idle waiting for material

16:00 <Cepheid> More a side effect of not picking exact ratios.

16:00 <Cepheid> In any case I'm gonna look into fixing some of the stuff up.

16:01 <Ali> Tis an issue of learning a new mod

16:01 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Makenshi: Pinkie Music: Dijit - Pink Fuzz [Electro House] [ http://tinyurl.com/y4ef9szd ]

16:01 <Cepheid> Well there is no tool for helping with ratios and the like.  Unless I put in Factory Planner.

16:01 <Ali> I have laser turrets semi automated, but since the battery type needed demands lead, its kinda on feed the batteries for turrets mode

16:02 <Ali> I was glad to at least get 20 out of it so I could push back the bugs.

16:02 <Cepheid> There is a battery producer by the way.  Last I checked the bin had over 3000 batteries.

16:02 <Cepheid> With 600 or so already charged.

16:02 <Ali> Needs the high capasity ones

16:02 <Cepheid> Regular batteries anyway.

16:02 * Ali gud spellr

16:02 <Cepheid> Yeah.

16:03 <Cepheid> I mostoy use those batteries for power armor.

16:03 <Cepheid> My goal tonight is basically purge the bugs.

16:03 <Ali> But yeah, lasers don't use the basic ones

16:03 <Ali> Well I got some of it helped

16:03 <Ali> Just stupid bugs spawned behind me and cut me off

16:03 <Ali> Also minigun turrets

16:04 <Cepheid> And I mean all the bugs.  Thats why I want tanks and packs automated.  Want there to be at least 5 tanks ready to be deployed at all times.

16:04 <Ali> They can fire at 12+35! damage with titanium ammo

16:04 <Cepheid> Yep.

16:04 <Cepheid> Titanium ammo eats through bug bases, worms.

16:04 <Ali> Sadly they chew ammo up at a rate of 2 clips a second

16:04 <Cepheid> And because I have it being mass produced..

16:05 <Ali> Do we even have any uranium on our island?  Can't remember right now

16:05 <Ali> Cause the final ammo type is uranium

16:05 <Cepheid> We do.

16:05 <Cepheid> Plenty of it too.

16:05 <Ali> If titanium was 12 damage base

16:05 <Cepheid> I'm not really keen on using nuclear energy though.

16:05 <Ali> I'm not plannaing on using nuke power

16:06 <Cepheid> Ammo and such, yes.  Power?  I'll stick with solar.

16:06 <Ali> I'm actually scared to think how complex IR has made it to make a nuke reactor system

16:06 <Cepheid> 7.2 megawatts per solar flower, and accumulators are nice and large.

16:06 <Cepheid> Probably not that complex.  I'm curious about the output though.

16:07 <Cepheid> The biggest benefit of nuclear is that density is greater.  Less space required for it than a bunch of solar flowers.

16:08 <Cepheid> The biggest issue I have with it is that it burns continuously.

16:08 <Ali> Yeah I do hate that

16:08 <Cepheid> So requires a lot of storage to make it worthwhile.

16:08 <Ali> The only thing you can do is tell it to stop feeding it when the storage is at a certain percentage

16:09 <Cepheid> Yeah.

16:09 <Cepheid> Which I can do.

16:09 <Ali> Well its why I have that one nuclear blueprint saved

16:09 <Cepheid> Yep.

16:09 <Ali> Cause there's no way I'd been able to figure that crap out on my own

16:09 <Cepheid> I can figure it out myself.

16:10 <Cepheid> Circuits are...  Not as complex as I thought. o3o

16:10 <Cepheid> Bah

16:11 <Cepheid> I wanted to go to see the kendo club tonight, but I need to eat.  I can't stay on a campus where the POS terminals are bugged campus-wide.  Not even the vending machines are working.

16:12 <Cepheid> I don't want to have to take a ride back back.

16:13 <Cepheid> Guess I'll go next week.  Or maybe I'll feel up to the ride later.

16:14 <Cepheid> Train is bugged today.  It's like, four stations behind on announcements.

16:14 <Ali> Gotta love electronics huh?

16:14 <Ali> Things bugger up, everything falls apart

16:14 <Cepheid> Yep.  Ohp.  Caught up.

16:15 <Cepheid> Nah.  Just an announcement bug.  Everything else is fine.

16:17 <Ali> Oy, do scammmers think I"m so stupid as to pick up a spoofed call of my home phone number to MY OWN HOME

16:18 <Cepheid> Yes.

16:20 <Ali> Well I'm not that stupid

16:21 <Ali> Hmm, I'm learning interesting ratio things here Cepheid in my SP world

16:21 <Ali> 1 Electric Miner, can supply 2 ore crushers

16:21 <Ali> I have a 2:6 ratio going right now, and it can't keep up.

16:22 <Ali> And yep, slap down a miner to go 3:6 and suddenly ore crushing is at 100%

16:28 <Schism> ... https://twitter.com/Scot_Blog/status/1177220719782092802 - someone at Mr. Nicolau's office has not been paying attention to their documentation.

16:28 <Schism> Mr. Phillips' office, rather.

16:31 <LibrarianofHope> explanation please

16:31 <Ali> Yeah I don't get it either unless they forgot to fill out the [Case Law] and such

16:31 <Schism> LibrarianofHope, plaintiff filed a SLAPP suit (strategic lawsuit against public participation, basically 'shut up, i'mma sue you').  Defense moved to dismiss.  Plaintiff filed THAT, where they didn't replace [CASE LAW] and the like with the applicable details.

16:33 <Schism> Here's where it goes from funny to downright comic: Tennessee JUST passed an anti-SLAPP measure, which the defense used to get the court to dismiss the case.

16:34 <LibrarianofHope> so they didnt just forget to fill the blanks on the pages, its illegal anyway

16:34 <LibrarianofHope> its is funny

16:34 <Ali> In other words its null and voided

16:35 <Schism> Oh, traditionally, the plaintiff in this case would file a claim stating how no, the anti-SLAPP statute doesn't apply in this case.

16:35 <LibrarianofHope> i can do that too, watch

16:35 <Schism> Something something defamation something not really frivolous.

16:36 <LibrarianofHope> Your honor i hereby propose ali is (General Adjective For Adorable Being)

16:36 * Ali baps LibrarianofHope

16:37 <LibrarianofHope> objection! i got baped

16:45 <Cepheid> Ali, regarding all the ratio stuff, all I'm gonna say is, can you do basic division?

16:46 * Ali puffycheeks, she did trig and precal before.

16:46 <Cepheid> Fine fine.  My point is you really only need basic algebra.

16:46 <Cepheid> Notepads help though a lot.  Don't try to do it like me and Adra do, in our heads.

16:47 <Cepheid> I've switched to a clipboard with paper.

16:47 * Ali did all of algerbra 2 without a calculator

16:47 <Cepheid> With a calculator for the division because I don't like doing long division.

16:48 <Cepheid> I got lazy from being a software dev.

16:48 <Ali> I was only going by visual observations in game Cepheid

16:48 <Ali> Though the rate of crushers to furnaces seem to be different

16:49 <Ali> I've got a 1:1 ratio and I've got backup

16:49 <Cepheid> That's becauss furnaces take 38.4 seconds base.

16:49 <Cepheid> Divide that by the crafting speed of the furnace.

16:51 *** Quits: LibrarianofHope (Librarianof@Pony-vrt.ugb.207.187.IP) (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)

16:52 <Cepheid> 10 crushed ore every 38.4 seconds.  That is approximately 0.26 crushed ore a second needed.  You get 0.625 crushed ore a second from a crusher.  A single crusher can handle 2.4 furnaces.

16:53 <Ali> Odd that seems off a bit

16:53 <Ali> Cause I had 4 crushers and six furances, and they were ore starved

16:53 <Cepheid> 1/1

16:53 <Cepheid> Oops.

16:54 <Ali> So you're now saying its a 1:1 rate :P

16:54 <Cepheid> 1/1.6 = 0.625

16:54 <Ali> Thus why the minor backup huh?

16:54 <Cepheid> Crushers produxe 0.625 crushed or dusted ore a second.

16:55 <Cepheid> I said oops because I hit return early.

16:55 <Cepheid> Try feeding one crusher to 3 stone furnaces.

16:56 <Cepheid> Or 2 bronze furnaces.

16:58 <Cepheid> Anyways, I'm home now.  Give me a few minutes to send off an e-mail, and then I'll hop on and rescue the cute damsel-in-distress.

16:59 * Ali ish not cute!

16:59 <Cepheid> Oooooor not.  Entire school's website is down too.

18:43 <Cepheid> Learn to be independent.

18:44 <LibrarianofHope> just keep venting, its good

18:44 <Cepheid> All week has been like this.  Non-stop.

18:44 <LibrarianofHope> its a thong of societiey living really

18:45 <Cepheid> People coming up to me and asking me questions they could have answered or resolved if they had any form of initiative, or just, you know, put some thought into it.

18:45 <LibrarianofHope> most just do it out of habit

18:45 <Cepheid> Instead of asking someone else to answer all their questions, problems and inane concerns.

18:46 <LibrarianofHope> it depends on who did it

18:47 <LibrarianofHope> in the coding sense they know you have the skills, even if the question is dumb

18:47 <Cepheid> "School website is down and I can't submit my assignment.  What do I do Andrew?"  Like..

18:47 <LibrarianofHope> i have no idea what a POS is

18:47 <Cepheid> How gods ******* hard is it to grasp the idea of EMAIL YOUR PROFESSOR!?

18:47 <LibrarianofHope> that one is dumb

18:47 <LibrarianofHope> why you in particular?

18:47 <Cepheid> How come no one around me can think for themselves?  Do instead of complaining to me?

18:47 <Cepheid> I don't know.

18:48 <Cepheid> But this has been happening all week, and it is GETTING ON MY NERVES.

18:48 <LibrarianofHope> you are an assitant or something?

18:48 <Cepheid> No.

18:48 <LibrarianofHope> then its very dumb yes

18:48 <Cepheid> I'm a student, not employed by anyone, or anything, not being paid anything.

18:48 <LibrarianofHope> not even helping the teacher?

18:48 <Cepheid> And yet, all week I have had to babysit morons who can't be bothered to think for themselves, act for themselves, or just think for more than 5 seconds.

18:49 <Cepheid> It is getting on my nerves, and I want these people to stop.

18:49 *** Ali is now known as Ali|AFK

18:49 <LibrarianofHope> why babysit?

18:49 <Cepheid> But that's too hard even for them to grasp.

18:49 <Cepheid> No, instead, they continue to bother me even after I've asked.

18:49 <Cepheid> And to think these are university students among others.

18:49 <LibrarianofHope> babysit implies someone asked you too

18:49 <Cepheid> Like, how stupid are you?

18:50 <Cepheid> Nah.

18:50 <LibrarianofHope> never understimate stupid

18:50 <Cepheid> Babysitting can be implied that it's being imposed upon me as well.

18:50 <LibrarianofHope> i hae no good idea out of your predicament

18:50 <LibrarianofHope> maybe wear headphones, even with no sound?

18:51 <LibrarianofHope> just so they dont ask anything?

18:51 <Cepheid> Doesn't stop 'em.

18:51 <Cepheid> The only thing that works is basically to hide myself, or just... disappear off the Internet.

18:52 <Cepheid> Being smart about something, anything, is a curse.

18:58 <LibrarianofHope> its online?

18:59 <Cepheid> Online, in person, wherever.

18:59 <Cepheid> Basically, the solution to my problem is to stop associating with people for a while.

18:59 <Cepheid> Of course, no one likes that.

19:00 <LibrarianofHope> yep, you still need them

19:02 <Cepheid> Not really.  It's more the other way around.

19:03 <Cepheid> I can go without socializing for a very long time.  Meanwhile, the problem is that people start to worry about me when my presence is missing.

19:03 <Cepheid> And some go to reasonably extreme lengths to make sure I'm okay.

19:05 <LibrarianofHope> make excuses

19:05 <LibrarianofHope> ?

19:13 <Cepheid> You ever feel guilty when you do stuff like that?  Making excuses.  Telling people "No" when asked to do something inane or irrelevant, because you'd rather do something else?

22:58 *** Ali|AFK is now known as Ali

23:00 * Ali flops over Schism and yawns

23:02 <Schism> Ali: Gotta love a good comedy.  o3o

23:07 <Schism> Especially starring Tim Curry.

23:12 *** Joins: mattshadowman (mattthesha@Pony-ngr.0ec.238.89.IP)

23:13 <Cepheid> So uh, I may have gone overboard, Ali.

23:13 <Ali> Oh?

23:13 <Cepheid> Far as I can tell, I've killed all but 2 worms on the island.

23:14 *** Quits: matttheshadowman (mattthesha@the.shadowy.corners) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)

23:14 <Ali> Worms matter not, its the bug bases that do :P

23:14 <Cepheid> Yeah.

23:14 <Cepheid> My point is, there's only two enemies on the entire island.

23:14 <Cepheid> I'm currently scanning to confirm.

23:14 *** Quits: mattshadowman (mattthesha@Pony-ngr.0ec.238.89.IP) (Quit: I will return to the shadows)

23:14 <Ali> It'll be wierd not having to worry about bugs

23:15 *** Joins: matttheshadowman (mattthesha@the.shadowy.corners)

23:15 <ADragonDreaming> I'll be happy!

23:15 <ADragonDreaming> We can tech to artillery

23:15 <ADragonDreaming> get a bunch of landfill

23:15 <ADragonDreaming> then expand off the island with artillery wagons.

23:15 <Cepheid> Also, I learned something by using the map exchange string from the map.

23:16 <Ali> We'd need to improve our current supplies

23:16 <Ali> Plastic is low

23:16 <Cepheid> We have a problem.

23:16 <ADragonDreaming> hm?

23:16 <Cepheid> Somehow, the map is an island map.

23:17 <Ali> The whole thing?

23:17 <ADragonDreaming> I remember you saying that.

23:17 <ADragonDreaming> This is why I mentioned the landfill.

23:17 <Ali> :/

23:17 <Cepheid> Yeah, initially that was with regards to the previous map we were on.

23:17 <Ali> I think he's saying

23:17 <Cepheid> This one wasn't supposed to be an island map.

23:17 <Ali> That even those little land blips

23:17 <Ali> Beyond that is nothing but water

23:17 <ADragonDreaming> so there's no other land out there?

23:17 <Cepheid> Exactly that, yes.

23:17 <ADragonDreaming> Well then.

23:17 <Ali> RIP

23:17 <Cepheid> I'll double check to make sure.

23:17 <ADragonDreaming> I wonder..

23:18 <ADragonDreaming> would this work with IR: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/vtk-deep-core-mining

23:18 <Cepheid> Okay, why is this game screwing me over with the maps?

23:18 <Cepheid> It is most definitely an endless sea map.

23:19 <Ali> Great...

23:20 * PinkieShy licks Ali

23:20 * Ali squeaks

23:20 <Ali> Welp, so much for that map

23:20 <Cepheid> Given it's age, ADragonDreaming, I'm likely to say.... no.

23:21 <Cepheid> Even a post in the discussion that explicitly states it isn't.

23:21 <ADragonDreaming> ah.

23:21 <Cepheid> So we've a choice.

23:21 <Cepheid> Stick it out with this map, see if we can launch a rocket with the limited resources..

23:21 <Cepheid> Or start a brand new map.

23:22 <Ali> I don't think I mind starting over.

23:22 <Ali> Can really do more optimal stuff than we dod

23:23 <Cepheid> Yeah, I have that thought pattern too.

23:23 <Cepheid> We better understand things, now.

23:23 <ADragonDreaming> My main thing is that I'm kind of over the stone age?

23:23 <Cepheid> Then we rush through it.

23:23 <Ali> Trust me

23:23 <Cepheid> We do everything in our power to hit Iron ASAP.

23:23 <Ali> The stone/copper ages go so fast

23:23 <Cepheid> Also..

23:23 <Ali> With 3 of us starting

23:23 <Cepheid> I'm not sure about you two, but I'm thinking...

23:23 <Cepheid> Cliffs go off.

23:23 <Ali> We'll have 12 copper furnaces

23:23 <Ali> If you want them gone

23:24 <Ali> Or just greatly lower their spawn %

23:24 <Cepheid> I personally don't like them, outside of adding a layer of defense.

23:24 <ADragonDreaming> As it please you

23:25 <Cepheid> ... Eh, I'll leave 'em on.

23:25 <Cepheid> They're part of the game, so..

23:25 * Cepheid triple-checks settings. Makes sure it's not on island mode.

23:25 <ADragonDreaming> I'd say generate the map

23:25 <ADragonDreaming> check it on your end

23:25 <Ali> You can preview it

23:25 <Cepheid> That's pretty much what I'm doing.

23:26 <Cepheid> Generating it, then examining the exchange string.

23:26 <Ali> So primary focus is to get into the iron age ASAP

23:26 <Ali> Start work on some walls to get us a boundry to keep the bugs out

23:26 <Cepheid> This one is an island map, for certain this time.

23:27 <Ali> What is up with the island map spawning for multiplayer...

23:27 <Cepheid> Inept server owner.

23:28 <Cepheid> New server is up.

23:29 <Ali> 100% sure its not an island map? :P

23:29 <Cepheid> Yes.

23:33 *** Quits: coppertiger (coppertiger@Pony-u7oomq.md.comcast.net) (Quit: Leaving)

23:35 <PinkieShy> ...

23:35 <Cepheid> I estimate we'll be in iron age within 30 minutes ADra.

23:35 <PinkieShy> Someone made a windows XP desktop world in VR..

23:35 <PinkieShy> I can run around on the green hill from the old backgroun d:D

23:35 <PinkieShy> and i can look outside of the screen

23:56 * Cepheid Skyrims fishies and kills 5 worms close together.
