00:07 *** ALi is now known as Ali
00:07 * Ali flumps all over Schism
00:09 * DashedRainbows paws at Ali
00:09 * Ali squeaks at DashedRainbows
00:09 <DashedRainbows> Cute
00:10 <Schism> Now, now. Ali is not cute.
00:10 <Ali> See Schism is finally learning
00:11 <DashedRainbows> Just her squeaks then
00:11 * Schism points out all the cute features of Ali, while making sure that she is not, as a rule, adorable and cute and snuggly.
00:11 * Ali flailyhooves
00:11 <Schism> See? Perfectly non-kawaii.
00:11 * DashedRainbows takes notes
00:13 <Schism> I am, however, really, really hoping that we don't have the beginning of World war 3 here.
00:14 * Schism is legitimately trying not to throw up.
00:30 * PinkieShy hugs Ali
00:41 <Stormspark> I was just talking to my roommate that this might be the beginning of WW3
00:42 <Ali> Can we please not talk about this?
00:45 * DashedRainbows agrees with Ali
00:47 * DashedRainbows licks Ali till she's dripping
00:48 * Ali squeakyflails

01:53 *** Quits: Cobalt_Blitz (Cobalt@Pony-39pn3u.res.rr.com) (Quit: Leaving)
01:54 <Cepheid> I am trying to live my life without panicking, getting agitated, getting pissed off, and having a meltdown. But all everyone around me, including the usually-much-more-stable-than-this Schism seems to be doing is trying to get under my gods-be-damned skin through whatever bloody stupid approaches they can come up with.
01:56 <Cepheid> I'm tired of it. I want to get away from everything for a bit. Just quiet the world as I continue my work, because panicking, getting upset and all that does *NOTHING* for anyone or anything regarding world problems.
01:59 <Cepheid> "WW3 might start!" Okay. What the bloody hell can you or I do about it? Hey, I know, let's go catch the next flight to the UN and scold the world leaders. I'll go draw a few thousand dollars from my *EMPTY BANK ACCOUNT,* tell my employer I'm just up and leaving for a few weeks, and to keep my position open for me when I get back.
02:00 <Cepheid> That'll solve everything. Oh wait, I can't do that. I have bills to pay. People to take care of. Homework. A job.
02:01 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Nightly Discussion #1943 [ http://tinyurl.com/y5fzv99e ]
02:05 <Cepheid> I am literally sick and tired of it all. I have stuff that needs doing, and I can't keep stopping every gods damned 5 seconds to read about the latest clusterfuck of a problem the Internet has created and started spinning and fearmongering everyone with. I'm done. I won't be back until... the 18th. You will still see me on Factorio. Maybe.
02:33 <Schism> Sorry, Cepheid. I'm under most circumstances not that... that.
02:34 <Schism> I was absorbing a lot of things at once and I am not well suited to doing so, at least in such a way. And thus, I spewed a lot of nonsense which should have gone towards a black water line.
02:35 <Schism> To... put things mildly.
02:38 <Schism> That's all I'll say about things, and I hope that the break treats you well.
02:39 * Ali non kawaii's all over Schism
02:40 * Schism hugs the Ali-Akane, but is sadly probably going to try and get some rest again.
02:40 * Ali tucks Schism to bed then.

03:57 <Schism> 5 more minutes for the sausages.
03:57 * Schism noms upon the burnt saurkraut. <3
03:59 <Schism> Adra: there is a certain type of person who enjoys badly prepared food. :3 And expects it.
03:59 <Schism> And, while taking pride in ensuring that all his food is properly done...
04:00 * Schism noms upon an overdone sausage, happily.

04:05 <Schism> Here I provide wonderful dishes for all to enjoy, and yet eat burnt saurkraut. It is an oddity.
04:07 * Ali pat pats Schism
04:07 * DashedRainbows is ambivalent horse
04:15 * DashedRainbows flops in as a butterfly flaps its wings
04:25 * Filly_Nightmares butts her head against Ali tummy and lays on DashedRainbows

10:29 * ConfusionRift goes back to La-Mulana... Celestia have mercy.
10:31 * Schism bids Rifty good fortune!
10:32 <Schism> Oh, speaking of fortune: take note of which faeries are which!
10:32 <Schism> Item faeries are a great boon for coins. o3o
10:32 *** Jackie2 is now known as Jackie
10:35 <ConfusionRift> Got the chain whip, the serpent staff, the feather, the book of the dead, and the fruit of eden. I'm once again kinda stuck. There's something in the Temple of Moonlight that I'm missing (aside from any boss), I just know it.
10:35 <Schism> Oh, grats on the chain whip. Pazuzu is a pain to fight.
10:35 <ConfusionRift> Shirukens.
10:35 * Schism noddles.
10:35 <ConfusionRift> Otherwise, prepare to lose hair.
10:36 <Schism> Oh, I usually melee him in the randomizer runs.
10:36 <Schism> Or abuse chakrams.
10:36 <ConfusionRift> I just burned it with a bunch of shirukens. I should point out... getting the chain whip... (inhales) ...why?
10:37 <Schism> Because they hate you.
10:37 <Schism> Anyhoo, hmmm. Book of the dead leads to Mr. Jaql, whom you've beaten. Nice on getting the Fruit of Eden; how many weights did you waste on finding the right order?
10:38 <ConfusionRift> Not that many. I remember a tablet saying something about opening the chest from left to right, so I went with that. The chest reset when you walk out of the room. So I just went "that one opens this one, this opens the other".
10:39 * Schism nods, "So just two tries. 8 weights is sensible enough. So now that you have that fruit..."
10:39 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, that's about as many as I used I think. Maybe six.
10:39 <Schism> And I'm not sure if there's much you're missing from the Temple of Moonlight. I do know there's one thing you can't deal with until later.
10:39 <ConfusionRift> Oh... I went to "Eden"... and got stuck.
10:40 <ConfusionRift> I think I misread a hint, so I'm heading back to check.
10:40 <Schism> The Gate of Illusion SUUUCKS.
10:41 <ConfusionRift> Here's the thing. I got the feeling I should be heading to the chamber of extinction. But got noooo flares.
10:41 <Schism> Ahhh.
10:41 <Schism> There's an area of the game which is full of Medusa Heads from Castlevania, and even THAT's not as bad as the Gate of Illusion.
10:42 <ConfusionRift> Well, there's the ammo bo-aaaaaaahhhh... I guess we still have a paperweight.
10:42 * Schism headtilts?
10:42 <ConfusionRift> 400 gold.
10:43 <ConfusionRift> Also, I heard you mentioning a "sine pattern", so I expect a Clock Tower 2.0.
10:43 <Schism> Heh. It's not... -quite- as bad as the Clock Tower.
10:45 <ConfusionRift> Urgh. I just remembered. Back side passages are all a waste of weights.
10:45 <Schism> Some of 'em, aye.
10:46 <ConfusionRift> Want to save at the Temple of Moonlight? Need three weights if you don't have the feather. Graveyard of the Giants? Same. Got lost at "Eden"? Need weights.
10:46 <Schism> There is a trick -- I hesitate to call it fair or reasonable, but it's a means by which to reliably get hundreds of coins in a minute or two. The developer's left it in, though if you're incautious you can get instantly murdered by it.
10:48 <ConfusionRift> Reminds me. The hints for the fruit of eden were TERRIBLE.
10:49 <Schism> Aye, those four spots to use the Hand Scanner on -- what ridiculosity. (And the painting of Michael Jackson was just silly.)
10:50 <ConfusionRift> Okay, I see a crack in there. Does that do anything? Doesn't seem to. Hmm... but what's up with that? (uses scanner) Excuse me?!
10:51 <ConfusionRift> You can barely see that. It's just that it's the one spot where those arms are in that position.
10:51 <Schism> Hah.
10:52 <ConfusionRift> A lot of very small details you probably glanced over, costing you so much time.
10:52 <Schism> Yup. And the worst part is that it's still MUCH NICER than the original.
10:52 <ConfusionRift> Oh right, and there's still stuff I can't read.
10:53 <Schism> Yeah, some of that...
10:53 * Sleeping_Nightmares sticks her face into Schism floof
10:54 <Schism> ConfusionRift, have you figured out how to abuse the faeries?
10:54 * Schism patpats the Surry, and wraps in pancake.
10:54 * Sleeping_Nightmares purrs and sleepies on Schism
10:55 <ConfusionRift> That you can figure each fairy by the summon pattern, and you can leave the room and switch before they fully spawn?
10:55 <Schism> Yuppers.
10:56 <Schism> The item fairy (both patterns, in opposite directions, green) is incredibly helpful if you're looking to buy, say, 100 weights.
10:56 <Schism> Or, if you just want to GET those weights, the creatures in the Gate of Guidance drop 3 when you have an Item Fairy.
10:58 *** Joins: Cyan_Spark (Cyan_Spark@sparks.only.last.so.long)
10:59 <ConfusionRift> Nope, that hint was poopie. I gues it was the case of "take the left to continue, or take the right to go back in a circle".
10:59 <Schism> Ah. "A fool goes to the left, a fool goes to the right"?
10:59 <ConfusionRift> Yep.
11:00 <Schism> Mmm.
11:00 <Schism> Guess you've gotta do something else then. o3o
11:00 <ConfusionRift> If I go to the right, it just goes back, and have access to a coin chest. Left continues, but I'm kinda stuck to what I'm supposed to do with these two chests.
11:01 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Morning Discussion #1717 [ http://tinyurl.com/y3qevwut ]
11:03 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, there are four already opened chests. I'm gonna guess puzzle related with the podiums on the right side of the area, which are unaccessible at the moment.
11:03 * Schism tries to remember how the GoI is laid out. "Those six diases?"
11:05 <Schism> Daises*
11:05 <ConfusionRift> Oh, yes, six of them.
11:05 <ConfusionRift> They're next to a one way door.
11:05 <Schism> Yeah.
11:10 *** Joins: Lumindia (quassel@Pony-45lvcs.pbg.ptd.net)
11:10 * Schism boops Lumindia with a plush Khloe.
11:12 <ConfusionRift> I feel there's nothing here at the moment. I'm missing something.
11:12 <Jackie> Jackietation should be a term
11:13 * ConfusionRift moves through a glass tube in the dark.
11:14 <ConfusionRift> ...
11:14 <Schism> Ah, found the trick?
11:14 <Schism> Oh, that.
11:14 <ConfusionRift> I need bombs for this, don't I?!
11:14 <ConfusionRift> ...
11:14 <Schism> That's just a semi-helpful shortcut.
11:14 <ConfusionRift> REALLY GAME?!
11:15 <Schism> Zapped?
11:15 <ConfusionRift> Well, can't go back. Have to go all around... again.
11:17 <ConfusionRift> Oh, I see the gate. Barely, but it's there. Oh nooooo. The Gate of Illusion is gonna suuuuck so baaad.
11:17 <ConfusionRift> I can already tell what's gonna happen.
11:17 <Schism> It is, without any question whatsoever, -the- most frustrating section of the entire game.
11:18 * ConfusionRift loads the game. He got nowhere really fast, and just lost weights.
11:18 <ConfusionRift> Okay, back to square one.
11:31 <ConfusionRift> Okay, so falling into the old hole where the boss fight in the Temple of the Sun was takes me to the spot with the countdown again. Nothing to pick here, aside from a tablet.
11:32 <Schism> Mmm.
11:35 * ConfusionRift sighs. "Gonna buy some flares."
11:36 <Schism> A fine idea.
11:36 <Schism> Which seals do you have thus far?
11:37 <ConfusionRift> The same two, origin and birth.
11:37 <Schism> Ah, righto.
11:43 * ConfusionRift accidentally goes to the Shrine of Mother. "NOPE" Back down he goes.
11:45 <Schism> Oh, that's just a sidepath you can visit. Think there's a coin chest? Maybe a useful hint.
11:51 <ConfusionRift> "Sleep within the woman."
11:51 <ConfusionRift> That's only hint accessible. The other is unreadable for me at the moment.
11:52 <Schism> Mm. Well, I can say that you have everything you need to progress through the Gate of Illusion at the moment.
11:53 <Schism> And that's all I'll give.
12:01 <ConfusionRift> Urgh, just thought of something. What if they did the thing they did with the fruit of eden?
12:01 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Calpain: Comic: Lost Sun 8 / Evening News / AoS 4:18 / Full Statement 3 / Arrival 155 / Next Generation 1 [ http://tinyurl.com/yytbcu6c ]
12:04 <ConfusionRift> They... did...
12:11 * ConfusionRift opens a chest, explodes and dies.... there were not save points there.
12:11 <ConfusionRift> I'm putting this down for a while. Like... a WHILE.
12:12 <Schism> Ah. THAT chest. Yes.
12:12 <Schism> That chest gets EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US. It's the stupidest gotcha moment in the entire game.
12:12 <ConfusionRift> And it looks stupidly suspicious, I should've known.
12:12 <Schism> Also, ah, so you figured out what to do at the left/right bit.
12:13 <ConfusionRift> There's that chest, and there's the chest hidden behind the wall.
12:13 * Schism nods.
12:13 <Schism> And the hidden one is safe.
12:13 <ConfusionRift> That one had no shimmer. It was obvious! Ughr!
12:13 <Schism> Not THAT obvious.
12:14 <Schism> And meanwhile, the point on the left-right puzzle was also a little bit different.
12:14 <ConfusionRift> That there was a hidden scripture RIGHT NEXT TO the friggin' table with the riddle?!
12:15 *** Quits: Golden (uid250033@Pony-360sli.charlton.irccloud.com) (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
12:15 <Schism> The light wasn't strobing. o3o
12:15 <Schism> But this is exactly the kind of [yay] you can expect to see ALL THROUGH that freaking field.
12:17 <Schism> It's called the Gate of Illusion for a reason, after all.
12:17 <ConfusionRift> See, I didn't notice that detail. I just started using the scanner on things. I just so happen to be using it near the tablet, and bam, a hole opens. Also... oooooh... I misread the hint.
12:18 <ConfusionRift> That is some Confucius level riddling.
12:20 <Schism> Yup.
12:21 <ConfusionRift> An actual wise man went left and followed the flow, a fool always bragged as to how great of a wise man they were and just take the right. By awaiting for a true wise man, they were actually pointing to a fool.
12:21 <ConfusionRift> Like this fool who fell for the chest rigged with C4.
12:22 <ConfusionRift> Sorry, the obviously rigged chest.
12:24 * ConfusionRift is worn a bit thin from this game.
12:25 <Schism> It is pretty painful at times.
12:26 <Schism> Alright, speaking of pain, I'm off to sign on to the workplace. Catch you folks in a few hours.
12:26 <ConfusionRift> Alrighty. Laters, and have a good one.

13:25 <Cepheid> Beh. I can't live without some socializing.
13:25 <Cepheid> I do have to say, though..
13:25 <Cepheid> I want one type of friend. Which I doubt I'd ever be able to find.
13:26 <ConfusionRift> o_0
13:26 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift: I lost my temper again last night, decided a sabbatical from socializing on the Internet might be a good idea.
13:27 <Cepheid> Since right now, the Internet is the source of a high level of stress for me these last few weeks.
13:29 <ConfusionRift> To be honest, it's the one reason why I don't check Facebook, doing calls to others, or play online too openly. Heck, made a Twitter account because I thought that maybe I could jump to something I like and maybe put some material out. It got dumb, political, and just aggravating like in Facebook, so I haven't logged back in some time.
13:31 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, sometimes one needs that moment of silence.
13:33 <Cepheid> I've closed my Twitter, actually.
13:33 <Cepheid> I'm not paying attention to Twitter anymore
13:33 <ConfusionRift> Oh.
13:33 <Cepheid> But other areas are still getting to me in social circles.
13:33 <Cepheid> Like last night, people panicking about a certain world incident.
13:34 <Cepheid> Oh, by the way.
13:34 <Cepheid> Is anyone here an apiarist?
13:35 <ConfusionRift> I don't think... we got any in here. At least, I haven't heard of any beekeepers or the such.
13:35 <Cepheid> I'm mostly curious because I've noticed a strange thing around campus.
13:36 <ConfusionRift> Hmm?
13:36 <Cepheid> Third time in two days, I've noticed dead bees on the ground.
13:36 <Cepheid> At least, I think they're bees.
13:36 <Cepheid> Small abdomen, yellow-black striping. Could be a hornet.
13:41 <ConfusionRift> If they're honeybees, there might be a case of a mating flight happening.

13:43 <ConfusionRift> I don't know if bees or hornets are rapidly affected by the environment.

13:51 <Cepheid> It's good for me, yeah.
13:51 <ConfusionRift> Hmm, might be the case then.

14:11 <Cepheid> Well, I botched that pop quiz. o3o
14:11 <Cepheid> Anyhow..
14:11 <Cepheid> The Hand Scanner is an item in La-Mulana. It translates written text that you can't understand. Automatic translator, basically.
14:37 <Cepheid> ...
14:37 <Cepheid> God damn these classmates of mine.
14:39 <Cepheid> I have to, in Japanese, express the rules "Because you're not a pervert, please do not bring adult magazines to the library."
14:40 <Cyan_Spark> o.o
14:44 <Cepheid> Yeah, I dunno. It was one of my groupmates in Japanese class responsible for that one.
14:44 <Cepheid> We had to come up with five rules and reasons for them.
14:44 <Cepheid> We settled on a library as the location for the rules.
14:47 <Cepheid> I got "Please don't bring etc, etc, etc" like above. And "Because students are studying, please be quiet."
14:51 <OctaveSymphony> Don't bring adult magazines or you'll be made a subject for Unit 731

15:56 <Cepheid> Hum. IR version 1.0.0 has landed.
15:56 <Ali> That was fast
15:56 <Cepheid> I don't think we will be able to upgrade though.
15:56 <Ali> It would break quite a few things
15:56 <Cepheid> Not without extensive modification. Or a restart.
15:58 <LibrarianofHope> i discovered my constant aches are from stress
15:58 <Ali> It changed what? Made tin used more often?
15:58 <Ali> I know the alloy changes
15:58 <LibrarianofHope> i relaxed on tuesday, but its coming back
15:58 <LibrarianofHope> must be subconscious
15:59 <Ali> stress is a *yay*
15:59 <LibrarianofHope> yep, it seems to actively hurt
15:59 <Cepheid> I'll explain in a bit. Hard to cover everything on my phone.

16:02 <Ali> Inb4 Seth forgets today is the 9th anniversary of Pony
16:03 <Cepheid> So, basically, the science tree has been restructured. Purple packs remain unchanged in terms of steel consumption, but this is accomodated by the fact that all alloys are now created twice as fast.
16:04 <Cepheid> Glass sheets are produced in batches now, and require tin to make.
16:04 <LibrarianofHope> so are there any solid news on the next gen of da ponies?
16:04 <Cepheid> Sulphur's increased in production. Plastic got an increase. Lead is needed in iron/gold tier, apparently, now.
16:05 <Cepheid> Copper refining no longer produces gold. Coal crushing does not produce diamonds anymore. That comes from powdering now...
16:05 <Cepheid> Bunch of stuff related to productivity modules, of which we don't use currently.
16:06 <Cepheid> Yellow and Purple packs were "disentagled" according to the dev. That is, yellow no longer depends on purple.
16:06 <Cepheid> In terms of research dependencies.
16:06 <Cepheid> A few recipes have outright changed.
16:06 <Cepheid> And some just plain removed.
16:06 <Cepheid> While others have added items.
16:07 <Cepheid> "Graphite Electrode cost increased. They now require you to pipe in 1000 litres of Discord tears."
16:08 <Cepheid> Ammo has changed a lot.
16:08 <LibrarianofHope> my arm hurts again ahhh
16:08 <Cepheid> New weapon, Minigun. It's faster than the SMG, uses titanium(and presumably uranium?) ammo belts, which contain 100 shots instead of the standard 10.
16:09 <Cepheid> Also fires further than the SMG.
16:09 <Cepheid> Reduces movement speed by 95%(!) for one second when firing. Has a reload time of 1 second.
16:10 <Cepheid> Tank's weapon replaced with minigun, increasing it's strength, but requiring ammo belts. Car's weapon nerfed to SMG levels. Electric arc turrets do no damage, they just slow.
16:10 <Cepheid> Lots of stuff.
16:11 <Cepheid> It's the tech changes that will break things the most.
16:11 <Cepheid> The rest can be fixed manually.
16:17 <Ali> I see
16:17 <Ali> Lead being earlier, that's interesting cause that doesn't show up till washing and it does make a little sense about the diamonds
16:17 <Cepheid> The tech changes effectively means we'll have an incomplete tech tree, as a result.
16:17 <Ali> They were just wasting space
16:18 <Cepheid> Though, lemme see if the dev accounted for upgrades.
16:18 <Ali> Like the idea of a minigun
16:19 <Cepheid> Doesn't say. Bah. Only way to find out will be to run a copy of the server with the upgrade.

16:39 <Ali> The copper/bronze ages are a little boring but eh
16:39 <Ali> Though they do go fast
16:43 <Cepheid> I am incredibly tempted to add in Rampant.

17:38 <ADragonDreaming> I saw something about IR updating.
17:40 <Cepheid> So. Ottawa LRT problems as of late. Turns out people are grabbing at the doors and forcing them open. This damages the doors, preventing them from closing. It has happened three days in a row. The trains can't move unless the doors are all closed. Guess what this does.
17:40 <ADragonDreaming> delays trains.
17:40 <Ali> ADragonDreaming, yes it updated to 1.0
17:40 <Ali> And it kinda heavily breaks our current game.
17:40 <ADragonDreaming> joy
17:41 <Ali> Techs get jumbled a bit
17:41 <Cepheid> Yeah. I'm gonna investigate and see just how badly it breaks our world.
17:41 <Ali> Tin is done differently
17:41 <ADragonDreaming> Does tin have more use over the whole course of the game?
17:41 <Cepheid> We get new weapons though.
17:41 <Cepheid> Yeah.
17:41 <Cepheid> Among other things it is now used in glass making.
17:41 <ADragonDreaming> crushed tin always was
17:42 <Cepheid> This is tin ingots apparently.
17:43 <Ali> No tin bars are used in glass sheets
17:43 <ADragonDreaming> ah
17:43 <Cepheid> The concept being a form of glassmaking that involves liquid tin.
17:43 <Ali> And its trying to rebalance the fact that tin is *yay* useless
17:46 <Cepheid> New weapon is a minigun. Has a reload speed of 1 second, but it fires faster and does more damage. Also uses belts instead of clips, which have 100 rounds.
17:46 <Cepheid> Tank is equipped with a minigun. Car was nerfed to have an SMG-level weapon.
17:46 <Cepheid> So the tank gets more dakka now and is deadlier.
17:49 <ADragonDreaming> interesting
17:49 <Ali> Also the minigun has better range
17:49 <Ali> But nerfs your movement speed by 95% while it winds up.
17:50 <Cepheid> Which really isn't a problem.
17:51 <Cepheid> In any case yeah. Combat got a balance pass. Reload times, now. 0.5sec for SMG, 1sec for minigun.

18:36 <LibrarianofHope> you can find a way to feel very productive

18:45 * Schism returns as well. "Sorry again about last night."
18:46 <Cepheid> It's no problem.
18:46 <Cepheid> In any case, first things first now that I'm home, start up a second server of Factorio with a copy of our save, see how the update to IR botches everything.
18:53 <Cepheid> Some factories have stalled. Techs look fine, though.
18:54 <Cepheid> Also, ADragonHoarding, when I said that glass sheets need tin, I mean the sheets need tin, not the ingots.
18:54 <Ali> Cepheid, did you check your blood glucose?
18:55 <Cepheid> I did.
18:55 <Cepheid> It's high, but not more than usual, so that rules out that possible cause as to exhaustion, which just leaves "I'm sick, given stuff I'm seeing is off-coloured."
18:55 <Cepheid> So, it looks like the biggest hit to the factory..
18:56 <Ali> circuits
18:56 <Cepheid> Is to red and blue circuits, yeah.
18:56 <Ali> That heavily stalls yellow bottle production now
18:57 <Cepheid> Red needs greens, and blues need reds and solder.
18:57 <Cepheid> Also, yellow packs need regular batteries now.
18:57 <Cepheid> Otherwise, the rest looks fine.
18:57 <Ali> So it really bucks up that design
18:58 <Ali> Anyway, away for staff junk
18:58 <Cepheid> Also, glass sheets are stalled too, due to needing tin ingots now.
18:58 *** Ali is now known as Ali|AFK
18:59 <Cepheid> Advance Furnaces are also stalled as they now need Junction Boxes.

19:07 <Schism> Evidently, the Australian military sent out a few soldiers armed with machine guns to take down herds of emus, a nuisance creature in Australia responsible for some ecological devastation. The emus, however, reacted with asymmetric warfare strategems, and the operation was deemed a failure.

19:30 <LibrarianofHope> they banned a hong kong hearthstone master player due to politic issue with china

23:18 <Angeline> What factory?
23:19 <Ali> Factorio Angeline
23:19 <Ali> And ADragonDreaming it'll need green circuits reworked
23:20 <Ali> Reds a bit as well
23:20 <Ali> The whole yellow bottle line is bucked
23:20 <ADragonDreaming> That's peanuts compared to restarting.
23:21 <Ali> Mainly we can just tear down all the manufacturing spots
23:21 <Ali> And rework them with the new stuff in mind
23:21 <Angeline> I've tried playing factorio with Ali.
23:21 <Angeline> They're like 3000% better than me
23:21 <Ali> Angeline, this is modded

23:22 <Ali> .17 is quite the interesting update
