I used to be at your extreme where I would have huge microfactories building e.g. screws and train them all over the place. I was also at your friend’s extreme at one point, doing only a single item on each floor, ending up building as high as the top of the space elevator.
The last playthrough before 1.0 dropped (and the one before it), I have adopted more of a hybrid approach where the only micro factories I tend to build are aluminum, oil processing, and energy production… plastic/rubber, coal plants, fuel processing, turbo fuel, etc.
Then I train it to the megafactory. I also haul in all raw resources except the ones mentioned. The hybrid approach I am liking is to smelt on floor 1, constructors on floor 2, assemblers on floor 3, etc. So I mix things on different floors. It makes it harder to manage, so I have to keep the megafactory smaller. Then I go build another megafactory somewhere else.
The tools “up there” could be made to rival the capacity and accommodate the man hours required to more science than we do now. The problem is it’s hard and expensive and nobody wants to try because of that fact. It’s becoming easier with cheaper launch vehicles and better communications infrastructure. Now we need folks to start identifying the best locations to send new observation satellites and then start building and launching them.
Your take is very conservative and counter to technological progress and I don’t appreciate the personal attack. We can have a meaningful conversation without that crap.
Yes, extraterrestrial telescopes are hard. And, we need more of them. And we need to give access to amateurs.
As technology advances, our ability to observe the universe from space far surpasses ground-based telescopes. While I appreciate amateur astronomy, let's acknowledge that satellites like those in low Earth orbit can occasionally interfere with surface observations. Instead of criticizing their presence, perhaps we could focus on working together to minimize disruptions and support continued space exploration – after all, observatories like JWST are pushing the boundaries of our understanding.
The FAA fines are interesting. They should have accommodated the requests SpaceX made ahead of each launch. The other FAA fine for failing to send analysis ahead of one of their launches should fall under their learning agreement that ends this year. The EPA fine/s is/are spot on.
I’ve played Minecraft on a ton of devices, phones, tablets, Switch, Steam Deck, Mac, PC. I think my best experience is Java on Steam Deck.
This video describes a dumper / cloner. At about 5:18 it demonstrates Minecraft running on Linux via an emulator (he who shall not be named) on the Switch with better performance than natively on the Switch. I’m not sure if it’s Bedrock or Java edition. He also said the performance increases are across the board (I think or at least not limited to Minecraft).
Apparently the Switch version runs so shity on the Switch, people hacked the Switch and put Linux on it and ran the game in the emulator (that Nintendo seems to hate) which had better performance than running natively in the Switch OS. Maybe that’s more of a knock against Nintendo however.
