Have a look for a local one, you'll probably have an upfront cost for analysis, but they should be able to give you a cost estimate after they look at it. Good ones will always give you the opportunity to say no and stop trying, either due to cost or if you want it back.

I would think you can get the analysis for less than 150 USD or equivalent.

That said, if it was grinding or screaming when you turned it on, the data is probably already gone.

Probably "dead on arrival." ie. useless.

The first half sounds so true to me. Like it was an intern that really wanted a replica set, but instead of using the same platform the company was using, hacked together something running on Linux. Ofc they didn't tell anyone how it worked, and everyone else knew windows server so no one poked it.

It used to be running on a spare pentium 4, but was virtualized as no one knew why things stopped working when it was turned off

The printed sheets on the wall looks a bit too good as well.

For me it's this and also unlimited nudge, no need to reposition it as you want it just one step over the nudging limit.

Saving it for what? If they are not using it anyway it's not going to get used later either.

This is actually a pretty simple to do for an app dev, it's just a window attribute to tell windows to not include (or back out) a window in a screenshot.

I see people be like "can we use b: for the backup drive" and it just feels wrong.

You probably won't need much for the first phases.

Make sure you are putting outputs into containers, it's better to have a big stock of items than a higher rate. If you need to wait for parts, go out exploring, you'll find the containers half full before you know it. You never know, you might find something to help you out, or something for the MAM.

In general build small plants to produce building resources, then use separate ones for the project parts. A 4/min setup for smart plates only needs ~100 ore a minute, (less than two normals.) That will give you the initial 50 in a short time, and probably the phase 2 amount by the time you have figured out a decent sized coal plant.

As you get on you'll hopefully find more efficient recipes or other ways to increase your production capability.

Hey it's getting better! They recently worked hard for months to add the very niche and almost never used feature of adding a shared mailbox's folder to your favourites! I mean, with features like that you should expect the dev time to be long.

Actually looks like an anti removal screw. The inner edges of the plus are sloped, but only in the direction to unscrew.

It's less of a main, and more of a "don't do this if being imported." You can just throw code without that block and it will run.

 

Are you going to stop and wait or keep on going anyway?

 

It's not that I don't like power poles. I just don't like them inside. Wall attachments are also fine, but then everything would need to be near a wall.

 

I don't always like the idea of single big buildings, several buildings feels more industrial to me. I tried to make it fairly walkable.

I also realised that after finishing it, that I also need to send the output to a train to take to a future plant for Modular Engines, but I didn't leave any space for the train.

 

I just liked the framing.

 

36 refineries to supply 36 fully over-clocked Fuel Gens. This is only the last step.

Should give me enough power for a while tho.

 

It's nice to finally have a manufacturer so that I can automate the 3 items recipes, it was getting annoying having to do them at the bench.

 
 

Ignore the mess in the background, I'm working on it.

 

Some other stuff has been re-sized or model swapped as well.

 

Would have been nice to have mk2 pipes, but I don't have enough power to get there yet. Dipping into the bio fuel just to keep things running.

 
 

So I managed to get part 1 of the day, but it took 2 seconds to run on the real input, which is a bad sign.

I can't see any kind of optimisation that means I can skip checks and know how many combinations are in those skipped checks (aside from 0.) I can bail out of branches of combinations if the info so far won't fit, but that still leads me to visiting every valid combination which in one of the examples is 500k. (And probably way more in the input, since if I can't complete the example near instantly the input is not happening.)

Right now I take the string, then replace the first instance of a ? with the two possible options. Check it matches the check digits so far then use recursion on those two strings.

I can try to optimise the matching, but I don't think that solves the real problem of visiting every combination.

I don't think (or hope) it's just bad code but this is my code so far (python.)

edit:

spoilera cache was the solution!
