![]() Every post must be about Factorio or of content you have made that is directly inspired by Factorio (such as fan art). If you want to post about other things, there are subreddits for that. This is a subreddit for the game Factorio. Gears via Main Bus always seemed lacking, even if I put extra lanes in.Factorio has never in many years had a sale, is currently not on sale, and is not expected to ever be on sale.įactorio developers: "Not having a sale ever is part of our philosophy." The places that gears are needed are in great quantity, such as belt manufacturing arrays, it's easier to make them onsite by diverting iron plates in. (Many products require both iron plates and gear wheels) In place they are used sparingly, 1 gear factory provides more than enough for an assembly line, and they can be placed such that the iron comes on half the assembly line, and the gears are placed on the other half. Gears: While the ratio of iron plates to iron gear wheels is advantageous ratio-wise, (2 plates makes 1 iron gear wheel), I've found (through real experimentation) that it is much more efficient to make Gears locally.They are also inefficient to belt - 1 copper plate makes 2 copper cables, inflating the need for belts by two-fold! Far better to make these locally as needed. ![]() Copper Cables: While they are high in demand for green circuits, they are used in almost nothing else.When you find yourself needing an extra component that is used for very few items, (like stone, stone bricks, or coal), either run a line to the side of the main bus, ending it at the assemblers, or carry the materials in via robots & requester chests.Place Concrete or Stone Brick under a couple lanes of your bus & in one of the spaces between lanes (at a minimum) since it gives you a speed boost when running.Add more production to fill your belts with intermediate products: Copper & Iron Plate, Steel, Green Circuits, etc.When you get robots, you can easily extend the bus with blueprints.You can replace splitters and undergrounds similarly by just placing upgraded versions on top of the old, (without the need to deconstruct them). The easiest way to upgrade belts is simply run along the line, holding down the mouse button to place belts on top of existing ones.(I normally skip red belts and go straight to blue to save myself the annoyance of replacing the bus 2 times). Upgrade belts when more throughput is needed.Make sure to re-balance belts after you split from them.Done! Two science packs made efficiently and traveling together on the same belt!.For the belt furthest from the assembler, split off green circuits.Place inserters as per screenshot - only inserters need long-arms.Place 2 rows of belts along the gear, inserter, and belt assemblers, and place the snaking belt that leads to the Green Science assemblers as per screenshot below.Place these one tile away from the Red Science output belt. Place Assemblers: 1 crafting Iron Gear Wheels, 1 each for belts and assemblers, then 8-10 for Green Science.Green Science needs belts and inserters to craft. Neatness matters! Make sure the empty side is across from the inserter! (As shown). For the belt close to the assembler, split off half a lane of iron plates.For the belt furthest from the assembler, split off copper plates.Place a regular inserter and a long armed inserter to feed each Science assembler. Place 2 fast inserters in, and 1 fast inserter going out of the Gear Wheel assembler.Place another belt along the output side of the assemblers. Place 2 rows of belts along the assemblers.Place Assemblers: 1 crafting Iron Gear Wheels, 6-8 making Red Science.Red & Green Science Red Science needs Gears & Copper to craft. If your lanes are getting chronically unbalanced, consider putting in a proper 4 lane belt balancer, which splits products equally:Ī proper 4 lane belt balancer, (on iron), which splits products equally next to the space-saving solution (copper) which is a stop-gap solution when you have less space.Īnother example of splitting two products off the Main Bus: After the split off at lane 4, splitters allow movement of product to go all the way from lane 1 to lane 4, replenishing product on all lines. Therefore, use 3 splitters to divert resources back to that lane.Īrrows show direction of product movement. On a 4 belt line, you need to make sure the furthest belt from the split can feed into the edge you split from. On a two-belt line, (like steel or plastic), use a regular splitter. Balance After you split off to the side, you will need to balance the belts again to feed more back to the lane you just took from.

![]() Yes, Home Depot does make custom window screens which typically cost between $50 – $250 per screen and can take several weeks to make and install. Since you can find a fix or a solution for almost anything home repair-related, one question we might ask is, does Home Depot make window screens? Here is what I discovered! Does Home Depot Make Window Screens? If your screen frame is old, worn, or damaged, it’s best to replace it, too.Besides the popular Do-It-Yourself approach, Home Depot also offers professional services for home repair, home improvements, and appliance installation. We recommend this option if your window screen frames are still in good condition. Rescreening involves keeping the window screen frame and replacing only the screen material. You may save money by rescreening instead of replacing the whole screen and frame. ![]() ![]() Similarly, you’ll pay more for labor to work on a window in a spot that’s hard to access to compensate for the complex installation. Working at high elevations carries an increased risk and takes more time, so window screen repair or replacement on higher floors costs more. Where the window is located and how easy it is to access also impacts labor prices. Replacing several screens simultaneously is more cost-effective than replacing only one screen. Professionals usually base labor prices on the project’s size and intensity. Labor costs for custom screens includes the price of making the screen, increasing to $25 to $50 per screen. Labor to replace a preassembled screen costs $15 to $20. Installing a new window screen may seem like a simple, do-it-yourself ( DIY ) job, but hiring a professional ensures the installation is done correctly and prevents more frequent replacement. Do your due diligence and research the window brand you’re interested in before buying. Lesser-known brands with affordable options made from fiberglass mesh may be more cost-effective. Well-known brands, such as Pella and Andersen, offer high-end window screens made with aluminum mesh or custom colors. Like replacement windows, window screens come from different brands at varying price levels. The installer must also make and install a custom frame.Īside from the screen type and material, several other factors influence the cost of replacing your window screens. The average cost per square foot can range from $0.25 to $25. Custom window screens are calculated by square footage.
In your heart, you know you shouldn’t be rooting for the bad guy, but Ursula really says it best: life’s full of tough choices, innit? For all her scheming and general evilness, there’s something refreshingly honest about Ursula’s take on the world. (At the very least, we would be making jokes about that library for years to come, because seriously, dreams were made in that montage’s reveal.) But more than that, Belle gave girls hope that even if you don’t fit into the role that your town wants you to play - no matter how covetous it might seem to have six or seven of Gaston’s sons - there’s always a space in the world where you’ll fit right in. The patron saint of clever little girls the world over, Belle gave the bespectacled and booksmart hope that one day, they too could meet a guy who was sort of rough around the edges, polish him up and teach him how to read, and, in turn, he would gift them with the library equivalent of an 18-carat diamond. This song is A+ karaoke material forever.) 4. (Show me a slumber party of girls who did not shout this song at the top of their lungs, and I will show you a cavalcade of liars. Though Disney can’t take the credit for centuries’ worth of tradition, the film still speaks to all of the little girls who’d like to be on the front lines instead of waiting around for the hunky captain to return home for them. The story of Mulan is also one of the earliest works of Chinese literature to feature gender equality. (That, and she figured out how to climb a pole with two very heavy cinderblocks attached to her hands, so, you know.) She also uses her femininity against the Huns in a kicky twist of fate, and serves as proof that the very thing from which you think you’d most like to run can end up serving as your trump card. ![]() Okay, Demi Moore doing one-armed push ups in G.I Jane and Hillary Swank packing a punch in Million Dollar Baby were cool and all, but Mulan saved an entire dynasty.

John Kennedy (R-LA), who had previously undercut the broader bill to back Cruz’s amendment three weeks ago in committee, confirmed that Cruz caved to Klobuchar on record to the Daily Caller News Foundation. Late Wednesday, the committee circulated a clarifying amendment that does exactly what the various committee aides told Breitbart News that Cruz had caved to Klobuchar on: Alters the original Cruz amendment text, and removes things that Klobuchar said she could not support. Cruz is a fierce defender of the First Amendment and free speech and he will always fight to prevent Americans from being censored or silenced,” the Cruz spokesperson told Breitbart News.ĭespite Cruz’s office’s refusal to answer specific questions about this, the Senate Judiciary Committee is considering the JCPA again-for the third week in a row-on Thursday. Several Cruz staffers have refused to answer whether he cut a deal with Klobuchar, and they have refused to make the senator available for an interview to explain himself.Ī Cruz spokesperson would only provide, when asked detailed and serious questions about the possibility of a deal and what form the deal would take, a generic statement claiming that Cruz opposes censorship of conservatives–something that would be inherently untrue if he votes for or simply even just enables Senate consideration of this legislation. When questioned repeatedly about it on Wednesday, Cruz’s office did not deny these aides’ characterization.Ĭruz himself has not replied to inquiries from Breitbart News sent over text directly to the senator. Several aides on both sides of the JCPA fight familiar with the matter told Breitbart News on Wednesday that Cruz caved to Klobuchar and has agreed to changes to language he offered in an amendment to allow the bill to advance. If Cruz goes forward with his plans to back-and allow the senate to advance-the legislation, then he will immediately become one of the biggest enablers of the establishment media and Big Tech giants and he could seriously jeopardize his political future.Ĭruz, who had previously jammed up a committee markup on the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA) a few weeks ago, has now decided to give Klobuchar what she wanted and allow the Democrat proposal to proceed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee to eventually be considered by the full U.S. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has caved to the Democrats on legislation that would allow media organizations to create formal cartels to negotiate with Big Tech companies, several congressional aides and others familiar with the process told Breitbart News on Wednesday. ![]() March: 37,823 employees laid off - see all March 2023 Tech Layoffs.February: 40,021 employees laid off - see all February 2023 Tech Layoffs.January: 89,554 employees laid off - see all January 2023 Tech Layoffs.Tech layoffs conducted to date this year currently exceed the total number of tech layoffs in 2022, according to the data in the tracker. ![]() The running total of layoffs for 2023 based on full months to date is 224,503, according to Layoffs.fyi.

In contrast with rodent husbandry practices, group housing is preferred over individual housing ( Bateson and Feenders 2010 Schmidt 2010). Zebra finches are noisy and might need to be housed apart from other species that are sensitive to noise. Proper documentation of the social environment is also important to ensure experimental consistency across laboratories ( Fee and Scharff 2010). It is important to recreate environmental conditions that best mimic those conditions found in the zebra finches’ natural habitat. Proper animal husbandry is an essential requirement for studying vocal learning in zebra finches as young chicks cannot be purchased commercially and therefore must be bred in the laboratory. ![]() Thus, there is a need for investigators to adopt good practices, as outlined here, for the successful rearing and breeding of zebra finches. 2009 Fee and Scharff 2010), and husbandry practices are important for the normal development of this trait. Learned song is culturally transmitted from adults to juveniles ( Feher et al. With appropriate care, they have an average lifespan of ~4 yr and can live up to 8 yr or even longer ( Austad 2011). They provide biparental care, with breeding possible at an age of 4 mo ( Austad 2011) and have a breeding frequency of three to four clutches per year. In the wild, zebra finches typically live in large colonial flocks, yet form longterm pair bonds ( Silcox and Evans 1982), with a moderate rate of generation of extrapaternity offspring ( Birkhead et al. It is commonly used in the laboratory, particularly for studies of vocal learning and the associated neural and genetic mechanisms of such learning. It is a small bird-wild adult females weighing on average 12.5 g, whereas males are lighter, averaging 12.2 g ( Zann 1996).

Also, if you have just been killed and are able to pause the game quick enough, you can also return to the menu and reload your last save, but you’ll have to be very quick. A number of players have mentioned that if you are close to dying or had a bad few minutes, quit the game back to the main menu and reload your save. Although you only have one save slot, always make use of it. Play with a setup you’re comfortable with. You probably already have but if not, configure your controls in the menu, it has Default, DS1, DS2 or Custom. It is certainly helpful though to knock an enemy over. Poles become harder to find later in the game and limbs do less damage without Kinesis being further upgraded. Kinesis can be used throughout the game but it takes a second to pick up a limb or pole and then aim to fire. Always keep one or two in your inventory for the odd times you may run out. Stasis refills are always available in areas where it is essential and fortunately, this is fairly frequent so you can refill regularly without having to spend on Stasis packs. Slow an enemy, maybe dismember a limb or two whilst focusing on another. As stated earlier, the Plasma Cutter will work well for you but if you would like to take a second, I would recommend the Force Gun for enemies like Swarms. There are enough Power Nodes to max out both your RIG (always keeping up with the new suits) and your primary weapon fully. Focus on your primary weapon until this point. ![]() Otherwise, I would not look to upgrade the Suit until the beginning of Chapter 4. The first upgrade for the Suit is HP and I would recommend using this early on. In the the first chapter, you should find a minimum of 2 Power Nodes. Therefore, only equip weapons you are using and return the others to the safe. The game tends to only drop ammo for weapons that are equipped. Unfortunately, I have not written a guide for the others. The Plasma Cutter upgrades are found in Chapter 2: Intensive Care - Heat Pack (after destroying the barricade, it is in the Clinic), Chapter 3: Collision Course - Ammo Capacity (it’s available in the store for 11K credits from this point on) and Chapter 8: Search and Rescue - Weighted Blades (in the maintenance room before you take on the Leviathan Remnant). No matter which weapon(s) you decide to go with, it is essential to locate your weapon’s upgrades. You can reset your Power Nodes for a weapon at the Bench for 5K credits if you opt to use another. It is the best all round weapon in the game and would recommend you use this as your primary. The Plasma Cutter is the weapon you will start with and you will need to level it up before you find any others to make your playthrough easier. This will limit you to levelling up your Suit, a primary weapon and maybe a second weapon. You can buy Power Nodes in the store for 10K credits a time, but credits will be needed for ammo and health packs, new suits, and you are not likely to be able to afford extras. There are only 67 Power Nodes to find in a playthrough of the game and that is assuming you find them all. The guide is designed to cater for everyone, not just those who may find this easier than others. For those of you who are familiar with Dead Space, this is not a Hardcore playthough of DS2 or DS3 it is significantly easier, but not to be underestimated. Doing so will take anywhere between 2-3 playthoughs and give you a good understanding of the game. I would highly recommend NOT doing this, even if you are experienced with Dead Space instead go through the game on a lower difficulty, familiarise yourself with the alterations the remake has to offer and collect all the other achievements first. Unlike the original 2008 game, you can start with Impossible difficulty straight away. Needless to say, some may struggle with it. You only have one save file to use (save whenever you like but no multiple saves) and if you die, you have to start from the very beginning (or continue on hard mode but this voids your achievement run). ![]() Impossible has the same difficulty as hard mode, where you take more damage and the enemies take less, but with a twist.
