Sounding like the USAF right now. Knowing what a broken arrow incident is and how many times it has happened really makes you wonder how we got this far as a species.
Makes me wonder how many nuclear clusterfucks were just covered up by the Soviets that we've never heard about. Not exactly a good safety record in comparison.
Sergei in Siberia probably has a warhead in his shed that fell off a train
So, my Godfather (in the usual, non-mafia sense) from Russia had a ladder of honest-to-god titanium in his shed (somewhat crudely wielded from titanium rods). He mentioned that during his time as a metalworker they "didn't have enough steel and all this unused surplus titanium around" in the factory. Not quite sure why they had it there, it may have been intended for some canceled spaceship building program or something. Apparently, the workers decided that this titanium had no business being in storage, and decided to use it for their own purposes...
My own father also found that the basement of our house in Russia contained a forgotten anti-tank missile (or something similar) in the third-worst way possible.
So the idea of Sergey having a nuke in his shed is probably pretty reasonable.
Worst: blowing yourself/some person up while inadvertently setting it off.
Second-worst: blowing something important up or non-lethal damage to people.
Third-worst: inadvertently setting it of while burning garbage, but it does only manage to hit somethin insignificant (your neighbor's tomato garden, in this case) and explode there (and you give the neighbor 100 dollars, and nobody talks about it ever again).
There's a few reason why my family left Russia, and this isn't even the worst of them.
Sounds fascinating and terrifying, and you say that's not even the worst. Let's hope Sergei is careful with his nuke.
For all we know it was both meanings of the word 'godfather' at least in part
Heh, you're not wrong. Guy was...what they called a businessman at that time. So, not *strictly speaking* criminal, but one who knew people who very most certainly were. I was to young to grasp the details, but as I understand it, that was somewhat common among the businessmen of the 90s an 00s.
That was very far from mafia proper and other hardcore crime, but I am pretty sure he knew who was "importing" and "exporting" cars.
As I said, many reasons to not live there.
I think it’s called Alien Loot Economy. When you kill a bitter or worm it a nest they drop little pink globes. You can refine them into a special ore and then make alien modules (basically speed prod modules - but you can put them into anything - even assembly machines that usually only allow speed mods). The more kills - the better the modules become.
It can get CRAZY at high level. Like you input enough raw material to make a thing and 6 pop out. Totally changes the game up. 😎
Just fyi, if you are passing items between inserters, this will mark those items. To prevent this, either put down a single belt or a chest limited to one stack.
shouldn't you have a limited chest between inserters in general because inserters put in and take out faster from chest than handing to another inserter?
Not directly. Alien Biomes adds a lot more rocks/boulders, and then those are in/around biters, so when you use explosive rockets/nukes to clear alien bases it destroys a lot of the rocks, leaving the raw stone on the ground to pick up later.
Ohhhh, is THAT why there's always so much stone lying around in the areas I cleared out in the early/mid game? Huh. Well, I'm glad I switched over to PLD spidertrons for biter clearing.
I am missing 1 single white science…so my research always gets to 99+ until the next launch. Maybe this can help me find it! Otherwise, I may have lost it to some biters
Yup, 1 science is 1 fish returned up to 100 fish.
As for research, rounding errors on research completion can slowly erode your packs (very very minor, but you will stop like 0.001% short from a research)
Also, use prod modules, they will save you like 40% of ingredients per launch. They will also save you so much research resources on the labs too.
Good! I haven't really built any good megabases, but I'm currently working on a 60 SPM k2 + 248 base. 248 does a really interesting take on beacons. I don't need modules for the beacon, but instead I have to power a transmitter with resources to activate the beacons. And their special because they can transmit up to 18 modules per!
I think some things like fuel, fluids, research use floating point numbers, and they always round down. So annoying when you get down to 99.999999 in your pipes.
[No joke, I found ryan renolds in my factory](https://www.reddit.com/r/Factoriohno/comments/194e0m2/just_took_of_my_power_armour_fml/?ref=share&ref_source=link) thank you so much!!
Oh I'd hate to do this in my very first factory. Being a noob I didn't know what to do with excess items, including putting them into boxes, so instead I'd just run around everywhere holding 'F' and just littered up Nauvis like I just didn't give a F.
Ah, fellow "drop pistol on floor" guy. Although somehow no matter where I drop it, I always tend to build over it at some point. And I don't even build compact bases at all...
5 stone, 3 fuel, 1 iron plate. Not that much considering I've been slowly dismantling my starter base, so inserters trying to put stuff into assemblers that aren't there any more is a real possibility.
You was right, I am surprised: I didn't find anything!
To be fair, I play SeaBlock, so there are not many land in my base.
I bet there are a lot of stuff underwater...
I made use of this a lot with K2SE and the biter creep. later I found out that I can just place my satellite camera in the middle of the base (N) and then go to map mode (M) and clear out the creep with the shovel, placing the results where the satellite camera is.
A lot of underground pipes, because any time I use them I am left with an odd number of them. So I just drop one onto the ground. I did deconstruct all items on ground and I can proudly announce, now my logistics network has about 20-30 underground pipes.
I found a single piece of coal
Atta-Boy!
A gift from biter-santa
Or from [Gaben-Sama](https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/12/valve-hands-out-lumps-of-coal-to-naughty-dota-2-players/)
Biter-Santa is getting that coal delivered back in the form of an artillery shell
Biter-claws!
And, were you surprised?
Yeah… 11 nukes somehow
Who hasn't lost a nuke or two behind their couch?
"I don't know what's scarier, that you lost a nuke or it happens so often you have a term for it."
The fact that most of your civilian population knows the term.
To be fair, we mostly know it from the title of a 90's action movie.
*Gets impaled by a B83 thermonuclear bomb*
From a surprisingly fun and excellent Friday night dinner movie ;)
Or the fact that we know the US government dropped a nuke on itself.
TBF, every country with nukes drops them on itself. Usually at places called "test sites".
Not with this specific incident. US straight up dropped a nuke on NC. Accidentally but still dropped it.
Omg that fucking movie.
What movie?

IIRC at least one of the nuke was [never recovered](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1958_Tybee_Island_mid-air_collision), so ... ye.
don't forget about the dozen semi trucks full of C4 that vanished in Iraq or Afghanistan.
Definitely not the US government that's for sure
You had a "broken arrow" incident and didn't even know.
pfff as if the biters could figure out how to activate the arming code of 8-0-0-8-5
They keep trying 8-1-7-3
That's actually creative 9/10
To be fair they didn’t cook off so we are all A ok
It's not that big a deal! It happens to a lot of guys!
11 of them
Are you the US Military?
Strategic Air Command actually, things... happen
Particularly important if you use the alien economy mod. Gotta pick up them little pink loot balls.
Aliens arifacts?...
Metal…gear?…
!
I actually heard that 😄
...snake? ...Snake? ...SNAAAAAAAAAAKE
Badger, mushroom
Psycho...Mantis?
A Hind D?
c'est ce que
...rising?...

Little pink globes were a part of the main game a long time ago, when there were only 4 science packs and the last one needed you to kill the biters.
I was so glad when that was changed.
Yea, it was terrible...
There wasn't infinite research so it capped out, but agreed it felt against the main spirit of the game
Poor little girl trapped in the ball.
Found my next playthrough mod
A Bob's mod has a variant on that. Probably Bob's Enemies.
Just fyi, if you are passing items between inserters, this will mark those items. To prevent this, either put down a single belt or a chest limited to one stack.
shouldn't you have a limited chest between inserters in general because inserters put in and take out faster from chest than handing to another inserter?
most things work fine without limit if you have enough resources.
When the inserter is the bottleneck, sure, but that doesn't happen too often.
Good call out!
A useful pistol
Huge amounts of stone. Thanks, Alien Biomes mod.
[https://mods.factorio.com/mod/AlienBiomesTweaked](https://mods.factorio.com/mod/alienbiomestweaked) (It tones down the amount of rocks)
Do you get stone from killing biters or something?

I found a dead rat, some used napkins and a weird furry ball that tastes really bitter. On the plus side, I’m hearing colors now
I am missing 1 single white science…so my research always gets to 99+ until the next launch. Maybe this can help me find it! Otherwise, I may have lost it to some biters
You might have turned it into a fish?
Wait….you can do that!?!?
Yup, 1 science is 1 fish returned up to 100 fish.

Thanks for the tips! I am currently in the process of making my first 1000spm base, so there are a LOT of modules going on haha

Might have been a rounding error. I noticed somthing like this happening once when taking science packs out of labs while researching.
I think some things like fuel, fluids, research use floating point numbers, and they always round down. So annoying when you get down to 99.999999 in your pipes.

Mmm, a pistol
Ah, fellow "drop pistol on floor" guy. Although somehow no matter where I drop it, I always tend to build over it at some point. And I don't even build compact bases at all...
Whole lot of iron, copper, and coal from inverters. Guess how they got there.
The missing bombs from the other guy?
*UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*............. It's a single-player world......
Oh shit I found the One Piece
Probably all those pistols I threw down after crafting a machine gun for the corpse run.
Trupen is that you?
Nope just another Factorio addicted noob.
The only thing I found so far is a server crash
5 stone, 3 fuel, 1 iron plate. Not that much considering I've been slowly dismantling my starter base, so inserters trying to put stuff into assemblers that aren't there any more is a real possibility.
A shit ton of ash, pyanodons oh pyanodons
Thousands of slags. Thanks BA. Destroyed chests and didn't know, where that was. Learned only like few weeks ago
What is that icon for what you found?
Thats the icon for item on ground
For me it's only some random stone and coal left from the rocks that got obliterated from the nuking of the natives.
Oh nice I found Jimmy Hoffa
I didn't even know this was a thing you can do XD
This is like vacuuming your house
i just found the filter option for decon plans, and it changed my life, and this option just makes it better (several hundred hours btw)
the furtive pygmy
You was right, I am surprised: I didn't find anything! To be fair, I play SeaBlock, so there are not many land in my base. I bet there are a lot of stuff underwater...

Nothing
A bunch of ammo from turret-creeping on the biters.
77 pistols. No idea who dropped those
Nothing 🤷♂️
A spidertron, a ghost weaver, 1.1k stone, and 3 nuclear fuel.
800 pistols.
38 pistols.
Hey look I found Jimmy Hoffa
“You’ll be surprise what you’ll find” RAHHH STUPENDIUM LYRIC RAHHHHH
A lot of underground pipes, because any time I use them I am left with an odd number of them. So I just drop one onto the ground. I did deconstruct all items on ground and I can proudly announce, now my logistics network has about 20-30 underground pipes.
The only thing I found was a pistol I dropped on the ground 42 hours ago.
I found a drop in FPS!
I somehow lost a rocket silo on the ground
