Optimising the oil residue-creating part of my turbofuel factory. This isnt super advanced math but still.

    One nice thing compared to Factorio is that the ratios in this are pretty approachable - I know some people go fucking crazy trying to be hyper optimized about power usage but, tbh, there’s a fuckton of power available unless you start power-slugging production buildings so the math has always felt manageable to me.

    Why don’t you just use a solver instead of doing linear programming with pencil and paper?

      Same reason I still do mortar math on paper in games that actually have it matter. It’s more fun that way, and I can do it faster than going to a website and plugging it in.

          I think that suggestion about Matlab is silly, that’s so overkill.

          right? use calc-mode like a self-respecting unix geek.
