Developed by Mirage Game Studios, this delightful title offers a captivating blend of strategy, creativity, and resource management. I have no idea if this is useful information for anyone else, but I thought I'd share anyways.Welcome to the charming and engaging world of “Little Big Workshop,” a unique and immersive sandbox game that allows players to build and manage their own miniature factory. ![]() I also would normally only use half (or 3/4) of this, leaving room for a vehicle to park near the bench for repairs/construction. Personally, I like my bench to be directly N of me, and I like to be directly adjacent to a footlocker charging station, my tools, a lamp, and a welding rig, so those nearby spots are used for them. Green spots can hold any walkable terrain including workbench, standing lamps, spinning wheel, etc. For comparison, my earliest and simpler version (which attempted to keep paths straight/cardinal) would only fit 98 shelves in the same space. ![]() With this layout, you can reach 128 shelves from your crafting spot - if they are all warehouse shelves, that's a whopping 448,000L of storage - assuming you enter via ladder and use all spaces. This applies to appliances and constructed tools as well, so any red tile could also hold a forge, drill press, etc. If you didn't know, while crafting you can access any item that you can reach by taking 5 steps, taking obstacles into account - and including any tile adjacent to that 5th step. H'okay, so, I've done a bit of trial/error trying to sort out the most efficient way to layout my workshop to be able to access as much stuff as possible without moving, and this is one of a few similar variations with the highest ratio of shelves to path that I can find.įor reference, the black tile in the center is where you stand to craft, red tiles are storage, green tiles are walkable.

The Golden Ratio Not impressed yet? The shape of your ear can be drawn by placing adjacent squares equal to the size of the consecutive Fibonacci numbers and then drawing a continuous arc through the corners, much like in the picture. Moving on from origin stories, how about a pine cone? Do you have a pine cone? Any pine cone? There will be exactly one of the Hemachandra (Fibonacci) number of spirals over and around it. So call it Hemacandra or the Fibonacci series – same difference. But alas! Sex sells and to be fair Fibonacci wasn't aware of Hemacandra. Hemacandra noticed this pattern in the syllables of Sanskrit poetry decades before Fibonacci saw it in the mating rituals of rabbits. So you add the sum to the previous number and you get the next, aka the Fibonacci series. If those nightmares before Math tests have had any lasting effect on you then you would immediately recognise the trend in the series.

This option affects how you see each object’s texture in the game. This effect focuses on the edges of objects in the game.įXAA Anti-Aliasing is a similar effect option as the Multisampling one. Tthis option will force your CPU to prioritize more cores for CSGO. It’s an effect that tells the game which objects are shiny, which are smooth, rough, and similar. The Shader Detail effect is one most players don’t want to set on low. This effect is similar to the texture one, the only difference is that it applies to other visual effects like dust, fire, and water. Texture Streaming allows for a better texture in the game and won’t really have a great effect on improving your FPS. Instead of the shadows, this filter applies to the texture of all objects in CSGO. This feature will determine how sharp and life-like the object’s shadows will appear in-game. This will ensure you get a smoother and less laggy gameplay experience once the game begins. “+cl_forcepreload 1”- It will force the maps to load longer because it actually loads all necessary textures before the map opens instead of loading textures only when they’re needed."-nojoy" - This launch option command will remove joystick support from the game, which may free up RAM."-novid" - This command turns off Valve’s annoying pre-game intros, saving you a few seconds when you load up a new map.

It will force more cores to be devoted to the game, thus supplying more power to CSGO and making sure it doesn’t lag, crash, or glitch. “-high” - This launch option command will prioritize Counter-Strike Global Offensive in the CPU.Copy and paste the following commands in the box under “LAUNCH OPTIONS”.Right-click on CSGO and go to “Properties” and go to “GENERAL”. 1/15/2024 0 Comments Solving sudoku techniquesWe don’t know which is which, but we do know that both squares are occupied. In this example, squares c7 and c8 in box 7 can only contain 4 and 9 as shown with the red pencilmarks below. Eliminating squares using Naked Pairs in a box: Here are some ways of using analyzing techniques: 1. After pencilmarking the puzzle, the solver must analyze the results, identify special number combinations and deduce which numbers should be placed where. Sudoku pencilmarking is a systematic process writing small numbers inside the squares to denote which ones may fit in. Hard puzzles require deeper logic analysis which is done with the aid of pencilmarks. Analyzing techniquesĪs Sudoku puzzle levels get harder you will find the simple scanning methods described above are not enough and more sophisticated solving techniques must be used. However, 6 cannot be in square h6 because there is already 6 in that column. Seven of the nine squares contain the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 9, which means that 6 and 7 are missing. This method can be particularly useful when rows (and columns) are close to completion. Searching for missing numbers in rows and columns: So the only square left for 1 in box 2 is square d2. Whichever the case may be, the 1 of column e is in box 8 and it is therefore not possible to have 1 in the centre column of box 2. In this example the 1 in square c8 implies that either square e7 or square e9 must contain 1. There are more complex ways to find numbers by using the process of elimination. Eliminating numbers from rows, columns and boxes: Eliminating all the above numbers leaves 2 as the single candidate for square b4. Taking a careful look at square b4 we can see that 3, 4, 7 and 8 are already used in the same box, 1 and 6 are used in the same row, and 5 and 9 are used in the same column. Often only one number can be in a square because the remaining eight are already used in the relevant row, column and box. This means that square i3 is the only place left for 1. However, square g4 also contains 1, so no additional 1 is allowed in column g. In this example, row 1 and row 2 contain 1s, which leaves two empty squares in the bottom of box 3. The same technique can be expanded by using information from perpendicular rows and columns. This leaves square e1 as the only possible place into which 9 can fit in. Looking at box 1 and box 3 we can see there are already 9s in row 2 and in row 3, which excludes the two bottom rows of box 2 from having 9. In our first example we will focus on box 2, which like any other box in Sudoku must contain 9. Here are some ways of using scanning techniques: 1. The scanning technique is also very useful for hard puzzles up to the point where no further progress can be made and more advanced solving techniques are required. The scanning technique is fast and usually sufficient to solve easy puzzles all the way to the end. The easiest way starting a Sudoku puzzle is to scan rows and columns within each triple-box area, eliminating numbers or squares and finding situations where only a single number can fit into a single square. The grid is also divided into nine 3x3 sub-grids named boxes which are marked box 1 through box 9. ![]() ![]() Sudoku grid consists of 81 squares divided into nine columns marked a through i, and nine rows marked 1 through 9. |
