It is finally time for me as well.
Recently, I started a liking for cursed trains. (Wagon-wagon-locomotive).
When building a normal train, the locomotive snaps to stations, and then you have the wagons positioned "exactly" as if the train just stopped at a station.

When building a cursed train ...

I think you can freely design the first post to your hearts content, and just upload the files as attachments. Filesize limits were pretty liberal here, last time that I checked

I don't think that locking your builds behind a proprietary commercial vendor is a nice thing to do, but they are certainly yours and you may do as you please.
I'd bet that factorio forums would be more resilient. I lost a lot of my youths creation of the lego mindstorms stuff to Lego shutting down ...

I have never considered it in terms of "backpressure", but that is a very fitting description, I like that word.

Awww, they look amazing

Don't forget, you promised instructions
I also want to build the spidertron one day

It looks great! How's the part quality, you are still satisfied?

While there is obviously room to discuss what counts towards it, and what does not, I think it's still doable.
I mean, "lazy bastard" exists as an achievement, so why not this in the same spirit?

I'd like this as well, that would be pretty cool

There is a setting in options, if you want to see combinators with alt view enabled, perhaps its not set for you?

Ah that's pretty sweet, being able to pick and choose the color instead of colorcoding, but the sorting indeed will be a major pain

Yeah they seem to be used a lot. If you click on eugenekeys link you find the set-list if you click on the "426 sets" (top right)
There are plenty released in 2025


Ah, thanks, I last "productively" used bricklink 15 years ago :D I forgot, that such a handy button exists.

I watched the video ...

The technic version dates back to the 1990s and is very useful for helicopter rotor blade mounting.

Are those still in use? I have not seen them in my childhood, only in old lego collection of my older friends. I did only start playing around the 2000s, I would say.

Interesting take, however I disagree on the Nauvis base. I think the base, that lives the most (at least from my and my friends playthroughs) is the one on the planet you land on first after nauvis. Nauvis can be abandoned almost completely, if needed.

Nice! Congrats on haviong you drawing materialize finally

I'm almost as excited as you are

You do some fairly unconventional stuff in that case, if you only know the parts for 2 months

I'll just HAVE to have a similar dioarama now
Will you try your hand on the fluid buildings as well? I.e. Refinery and stuff.

I'd bet the ring will be as tedious irl if not more, as in software.

Do the knees bend? I'd say it looks like they don't.
I say this is the best color palette

I somehow managed to completely ignore the last sentences of your post, sorry.
Very interesting, looking forward to seeing it assembled.
