There’s probably quite a few people who couldn’t play during the week. There were hudnreds of thousands copies sold in the last few days, not everyone could play right away. I got lucky and managed to squeeze maybe 10 hours in…
There also might be people who bought it from Steam, since the word got out it’s better for Wube, but then went to factorio.com and got a copy unconnected from Steam. But yes, even before, there was a surprising number of people who didn’t get any achievement ever.
Then I suggest that you don’t look at achievements.
It might also be dangerous to browse research tree, but it isn’t based on anything specific, as I didn’t do so myself. Yet.
The reason for the 50 years of oil, as I heard it explained, is that this is how far ahead the oil companies plan. They look for enough oil to cover the timeframe they plan for. When they have that covered, they don’t look, until they need more. When they need more, they go and find it.
I use Pocketbook. It opens just about anything - epub, mobi, pdf, pdb, and many more formats. Just get a book anywhere and copy it via USB. Or send it as an email attachment to your special address and it will download automatically. You can even replace the reading app with another relatively easily, if you want.
The time when you get power armor. I usually rush mk2 and skip mk1, but still, around that time. At that time, you definitely don’t have a spidertron. Spidertron is definitely late game. Of course, at that time, spidertron is the weapon of choice.
I know. And I’m sure there will be more weapons. I’m just a little worried about what is currently late midgame situation on Nauvis, especially during expnsion. Just when you get your your power armor and finally can clean up nests with relative ease. I’m not especially fond of combat, especially in person, so I really like finally being quite safe. I guess I’ll have to change tactics and use combat robots much more.
Even in legendary quality, it does 25 damage compared to 30 now. I’m sure you can still be a formidable killing machine, but quite late, and not on Nauvis alone. I’m going to miss being safe and unstoppable. But I trust the devs to make a fun game, they were incredibly successful in this so far.
I’ll try putting some science on the belt.
Great work!
I had some time, so I tried to claim the area. Thanks for the help, I would never finish it on my own. Let’s hope someone else joins us :-)
Thank you. I moved the template to the newly open region instead.
Bad title. Settings that actually do something are 0 (normal), 1 (compact) and 2 (touch). You can also do that in settings, I think.
If you want to be able to write practically anything on mobile, including ≠, ≈, ‰, ℝ etc., have a look at Unexpected keyboard. No spellcheck or autocomplete, though.
Hmm, it seems you’re right. I have the filters, but it says they haven’t been updated for 44 days. I can send them to anyone interested to be added manually. Anyway, there is about half as many as in your link, so it’s likely mine would be redundant.
You should be able to keep using the filters just with an adblock. Add a custom filter site and you’re done.
This is the site wit filters to add:

I didn’t read the original paper yet, perhaps it’s there, but it isn’t in the linked article nor its source Ars Technica article. Can authors themselves upload their papers to these archives, and if so, how to do it correctly to make it findable both by DOI and other means? Does anyone know?
Wow, thank you, this is a great source! So less than 90% of the income is used to run the companies and do all the R&D. Honestly, that’s less than I thought and shows how greedy they are. If I read it right, they are more profitable than other large companies. Wow. So a state-owned non-profit pharma company could in theory produce new medicine 10 % cheaper and still be fine. Provided that state-owned company could be as efficient as a private one…
You don’t need profit in the sense of making lots of extra money compared to how much money you actually put in. I would be very interested in how much net profit is compared to gross in relative numbers. It’s a lot in absolute numbers, but I suspect not so much in relative. The problem why drug development is so very expensive is that you don’t just pay large sums for the drugs that are developed, but also for all those that are not, because they prove not useful during the testing. And there is way, way more than the successful ones, perhaps 100 to 1? I don’t have numers at hand. So in the end, you have to charge a lot of extra money above the production cost if you want to have enough money to develop any drugs at all.
Of course, that isn’t true for old drugs. Which is a reason why generics are so much cheaper. And also why patents need to exist.
I’m sure pharma companies abuse the system as much as they can, but not as much as it might appear at a first glance.
