One tip to the blowing cable using the burner, add a fuse on the link to the burner so in case of storm, the burner gets disconnected without blocking the batteries

[@shadowdrake082]

We came for the Larre, stayed for the solar, and finished with the Larre clearing a plant you murdered xD One more step towards automatic harvesting!

[@Dragoonx3690]

When you were checking your station batteries you stated that the heavy cables didn't show when they were blown (51:45). They do show when they are busted but the bolts holding the face plate of the junctions have to be visible. Otherwise yes, it's hard to tell when the busted side is face down in the floor. Just a handy FYI if you weren't aware. Can't wait for next week's stream🤘🤘

[@davidmartensson273]

Using the small upright wind turbines produces more power at lower wind speeds as far as I know, so having a mix of large and small in each circuit should allow more even power collection. My current one with 8 large and 24 small has better power stability than my last with 32 large ones. The large ones can fill up more batteries, but the new setup uses less batteries and drives more equipment anyway.

In stationeers news: Two LARre's learned spanish last week. They're still aiaiaiaiaing. ;P

Re: Logitech mice I've had colleagues come to me to replace their mouse button switches because _every_ manufacturer uses defective or cheap switches that just die, so it might be worth asking for a warranty exchange if it's not long after purchase. My main complaint with them is that they shouldn't be using rubberized anything, because when that breaks down it's an awful mess; they should just use textured plastic. And the thing that sucks is that the other manufacturers are of lower quality or cost way too much.

I am not sure if you know this, but if a machine is making something, like solar panels, you can just hit the arrow to select another item and it will stop instead of continuing after the current item is done.

[@patrickshores4118]

Venus rotates the other way around! So the sun is going the correct way.

In reference to having a deep miner / centrifuge requiring more power. one benefit of it is an excess of coal, that can be semi auto fed into a solid fuel generator. with a bit of logic it is power positive.

[@Vessekx]

@Splitsie, you could really clean up the wiring on the solar array if you used the idea of a wind turbine to provide power to the APU & chip, and put it at the far end of the array. Oh, and the sign for the room that generates fertilizer should be ‘manure-facturing’.

[@VecheslavNovikov]

The waiting part is easy enough to do with relative branching. Looks a bit like this: yield l r0 Larry Idle breqz r0 -2 The last line jumps the execution back by 2 lines if r0 (Idle) is 0. It's basically just a way to wait for the LARrE to stop moving. Keep in mind, they said the next update will change some of this stuff, so if it drops before Friday, some of the chat will be confidently incorrect about the whole Idle/Activate/whatever.

[@kelemvour]

The RBLF notes the Splitsie might yet learn the value of Glorious Red Batteries. Long may they Power Us. Ohm, Ohm, Ohm…

[@Vessekx]

@Splitsie, some ideas for your LARE code. For each thing you want to check, do a batch-check to see if any/all of the planters is needing work done. (Min for all, max for any). Then, when the condition is met, loop through each of the planters to check if *that* planter meets the condition and handle it. Add a define for all of your individual planter & station hashes so you don’t have to type the long name every time. Create a subroutine to translate the planter hash to the hash of the station above it. (And vice versus if needed.) That way, when you decide Planter X needs to have something done, you can do a quick lookup to find the appropriate station.

[@VecheslavNovikov]

That's a lot of extra code for a chip with a 128 line limit...

[@davidmartensson273]

Also, using one cable analyzers one logic reader and a console with a graph display card gives you a 30 second history and I use that on the input to see how input power fluctuates up and down. And you need one per input circuit of cause The graph display can aggregate multiple logik readers if one wants

[@MMuraseofSandvich]

I haven't played the classic Sierra Online game series, but I eventually got the reference in the vid title. 😆

[@TheXkyneticx]

Man I'm so happy to watch your journey of learning to code in MIPS. Just wait till you start doing stuff with the stack 😊

[@Rikard_Nilsson]

1:24:56 Stellite is for heavy solar panels and armored glass mainly as far as I remember.

[@mattp1337]

My crappy pseudocode. Probably needs "pause and check if idle" repeated often throughout. In an ideal system, you'd have some kind of task queuer,/scheduler but that seems far more complicated for little or no gain. if idle, loop thru the plant pots checking state -- if you find any task needs doing ---- if needed fetch seeds (or other supplies) ---- move to that location ---- do all the necessary task(s) in sequence subroutine fetch a seed subroutine drop off any output

[@ColinRichardson]

I wish i was watching your stream. I was practically screaming that your branch was wrote wrong

[@jakethesnake2655]

Thought you didn't need to use the knobs on the ic housing anymore

[@JPMistic]

underground shoot to trow stuff in that need to go from furnance to production room?

[@WarGiver]

It took me a moment to get the title joke. A+ Joke BTW.

[@faceplant950]

Now that 1.0 of 7DaysToDie has released, is there any chance of a new Little Construction Company series? Asking for a friend... ;p

[@streetwind.]

He's not really that interested but if Capac asks him to play together then he will. (Source: he gets asked this just about every single stream =P)

[@gum__]

I too liked (and miss) Little Construction Company, but knowing how much he was burnt out on 7days (last time he played) I'd rather have him play something he enjoys. Like Stationeers :)

[@ghenriquemo]

That's one of the reasons I quit Stationeers: Programming. I'm a hobbyist programmer, and I really don't want to learn a "new" programming language that I'll use it only on the game.

[@Flipsie]

I like to use the game as a good way for me to learn about principles, the language itself doesn't really matter, but I'm such a novice programmer that I think anything I learn is a good thing

[@davidmartensson273]

My experience is that for every language you learn, the better you understand the underlying logic which is reusable between languages and it even helps understanding the language you started out with :) And MIPS is quite low level so you will learn much of the real basics that more high level languages hides behind abstractions which, while easy to use, can make it so much more hard to change things if you need anything but the easy path the designers though about.

[@Flipsie]

That was my hope in trying to learn some of this stuff in games like Stationeers or Archean. That the learning would be transferrable eventually :)
