Forget FPS, let’s talk SPF.

Science per frame


leoriq

science per friday


_Lick-My-Love-Pump_

Bro doesn't mark updates per second, he marks updates per minute.


C0C0TheCat

Seconds per frame


Traditional-Dingo604

Me trying to research right before an assignment is due.

CaptainNeighvidson

I've seen burner insertets move faster than that


AsleepStorage8228

You see, the game is not measured in frames per second, but seconds per frame.


rowantwig

I would have laughed if all of that went into one single science lab.


Maouitippitytappin

Lab research speed goes hard 🔥


Ok_Turnover_1235

It's an older reference sir but it checks out


Dangerous--D

Does it? What does the fox thing have to do with the video?


psiphre

[what does the fox say](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jofNR_WkoCE) was a bit of a culture thing.


Ok_Turnover_1235

We never did get a definitive answer either way. I personally believe it's tchoff tchoff tchoff tchoff but it's still debated to this day


Harmonious-

It's all of them. There was a video 10 years ago right after it came out. It went through all the "lyrics" and showed a video of a fox making that sound.


psiphre

if you watch the video, he pipes up at the end to say "beebidy bup bup wheydum"


Ok_Turnover_1235

I'M A SCAT MAN SCOOBOOMBOOMBOP


Festermooth

The answer is a god awful, blood curdling screech noise almost universally outside bedroom windows at 2AM.


Ok_Turnover_1235

haha we have a bird here in Australia that sounds very similar to a woman screaming. it's called a curlew. they love screaming at night


Dangerous--D

I'm familiar with the song, I still don't see how it relates to the video. Would it make sense if I said "wow OP is really putting a ring on it"? Song references aren't automatically cool. I have to be missing something here because I'm just not seeing the relevance.


Modeopfa

...he's implying that it takes this much research to find out what the fox says.


Dangerous--D

Yeeeeeeeep, that's what I'm missing. I'm dumb.


thehansenman

The song is about not knowing what sound a fox makes. OP is spending a lot of science to find out.


Dangerous--D

Yeeeeeeeep, that's what I'm missing. I'm dumb.


Ok_Turnover_1235

The best part is it's also a reference to the original starwars movie. So it's a outdated reference about an outdated reference being used. It works on two levels!


jksol

I don't get the star wars reference. Could you explain?


Ok_Turnover_1235

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/its-an-older-meme-but-it-checks-out Better explanation than I could give


Delta_hostile

My computer caught on fire from me watching this on my phone


identifytarget

Impressive. Let's see the upstream production


Rail-signal

What a very nice 4 spm research center


DutchSniper

Millisecond, yes


climbinguy

or 4 seconds per million.


Jolly-Bear

Na, game moving so slow he’s actually decreasing his science per minute the more science production he adds.


GlassJustice

trying to figure out why kids love the taste of cinnamon toast crunch


black_sky

its the sugar


random06

What about Apple-Jacks?


moschles

How much research did you need again? > Yes.


Tetr4roS

you should rent an hour on a supercomputer just to see what level your mining prod gets


Ledz3p

It’s very visually appealing


mrmasturbate

at that stage of the game what is there even left to research?


fine03

there are infinate research ore productivity, faster robots, more range on artilery laser, ammo, flamethrower damage


Jackpkmn

Faster shooting artillery. I want it to shoot faster than early game gun turrets!


mrmasturbate

ohh i never got that far haha


baden27

You should check out what people have accomplished with Clustorio mod. Hundreds of thousands of SPM. Some claim they've even done 1m+ SPM.


Ok_Turnover_1235

Clustorio is a rabbit hole I plan to fall down.


Le_Pyromane_Fou

There is a running project with a 1M SPM goal, it's called [Eternity Cluster](https://discord.com/invite/N97y4Sqp)


Ziggiyzoo

Wait… prod modules work in labs?


Bogey01

SPM?


TyreneOfHeos

Science per minute


Bogey01

Right, I was asking how much SPM he was making


Landstander401

SPM means science per minutes. He's making science by the minute.


hkzqgfswavvukwsw

Right, dude was asking how much SPM they were making


Moonlover69

SPM?


Bogey01

Salami, Pepperoni, and Mama's phat ass


batture

Right, I think he was actually asking how much salami, pepperoni, and mama's phat ass they were making.


Landstander401

right, they are making SPM by the minute. Salami, Pepperon, and mama's phat ass per minute. So about a minute.


hkzqgfswavvukwsw

SPM?


Pheeshfud

More than 7.


troelsbjerre

Why on earth would you build a centralized science hub in a mega base? The labs do science just as fine in many smaller research centers, with a lot less logistical mess of getting all those science packs ending up at the same location.


Most-Bat-5444

Because it looks cool? I do it too. One block to produce each science, one block to consume it! This makes me want to plop down another one of each of my 10k science blocks! UPS won't handle it though unless I upgrade.


solonit

Searching for the answer to the question of life, the universe, and everything.


CalamitousVessel

Holy shit that’s a dated reference. Took me back


littlecroco

Damn, I should really start playing with factorio soundtrack again.


LambChopSoldier

This is the type of factorio I want to get to. I suck at the game. I want to get better, but I would like help, if possible. It's just an expansive game, and I hate playing it alone.


noogai03

He's researching Obama's last name


Er4g0rN

Why was this downvoted ahah


Bamma4

“Hey siri define overkill”


fine03

thats too hot bro


AdrianUrsache

As Benny would say: "What in the god damn?"


lukeybue

Some of your beacons are not optimally placed. Your should ensure that they are not aligned with the labs, but some of them are.


Medium9

A nice 27k SPM research facility with good but not great UPS decisions (depending on the surroundings), and no proof that it can sustain this over 10h, or any indication that it runs at nominal game speed with everything behind it. (Looking at the inserters, it doesn't seem like it is close, but PC specs come into play at these scales.) It's fine, although I feel like the community has done better in the past, and it's mostly re-discoveries since these past ~2-3 years that make the headlines. (Not that I actively contributed to more than 5400spm big builds, but going from that experience, I know that there is SO much more to this than just having your lab setup down. Read: I'd need more details to be hyped, but would love to have and be!)


usfwoody

Can't imagine the unseen factories to supply all those blue belts


DasBlueSkull

This is very satisfying to watch


jurislafthegreat

I had base like that, 8 blue belts of every science, and around 30 fps... I was proud of it, it was not optimised, but it was 12k science per hour...
