I also gave up on the Dyson swarm, as they only have a limited lifetime, the output they generate isn't woth it. But, once you started working on the Dyson Sphere, you can create panels in the sphere where the Dyson Swarm will be integrated and increase the power output a lot (mine went from 316 MW to 364 MW). Also, it looks like once the Solar Sails are integrated into the Sphere, they won't go away like in the swarm.
Here's a screenshot how to do in the editor: Create three nodes, connect them and once this is done click the "Shell Tool" to mark this triangle. After that, when you launch Solar Sails, the Sphere will integrate them. On the right, the black sections already have Solar Sails. Green sections indicate they await them.
Hence: Wait for the Swarm until you start building the Sphere.
There's an official dock that's still in development, and will probably have a queue of it's own. Supposedly out before the end of spring.
I've been looking at hub-docks, mostly this one, there are articles that say they work fine, but I haven't turned up any firsthand experience.
I played DSP (190 hours) on Shadow from a mac. https://shadow.tech/
Works pretty well, as long as I'm ethernet and not wifi. Iffy on wifi, sometimes fine, sometimes lag city. It's a full windows PC, so you can install mods, share saves, etc.
>Logistic towers are the upsides of bots and trains in Factorio with the downsides of neither.
Their downside is that they remove gameplay rather than adding it.
Designing train routes is an entire new system to learn, experiment with and enjoy. It takes time to master.
The devs behind Factorio wanted to severely limit logistic drones but the playerbase already had access to them and heavily resisted the idea of them being nerfed. Several mods heavily limit them for good reason.
Check your temps, seriously.
Max operating temp for your CPU is 90° C
if it gets near that temp it's gonna start throttling down. As far as I can tell you ideally don't want to it to get any hotter than 75°C but I can't find a hard number for exactly when that CPU starts to thermal throttle.
You should be able to use this program to see what your CPU core temps are if you don't already have software on your laptop to monitor this.
i must then recommend : GREENSHOT
i thin its a great program that allow multiple config for your screenshot. saving them in a folder, selecting a small region, a whole window, auto-uploading to imgur if you wish it so
