Q: Does it matter who I dispatch for gathering?

StevoisiakWhen dispatching a gatherer to an area for resources on the map, I can choose to send Tauemon, Myrthe, Kinta, Yui, or Kaimaru. Does it matter which person I dispatch for gathering? Does the person I choose affect the resources I get back?

Q: What's going on in the top-left corner of this inserter factory?

Bradley UffnerI found this layout online for a mini-factory to produce every type of inserter, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what's going on in the top left corner.

Not sure my second attempt is working so much better. I did arrive on Vulcanus, but I didn't bring anything useful and I only noticed a bit later that I can use some things from the space platform to bootstrap on the planet. My space platform is dying though again because unlike on the starter planet there are dangerous asteroids here in orbit as well
I think I'll reload again, even though I'll lose quite a bit of time. It does seem the game is more designed that you'll still support yourself from your home planet, bootstrapping is possible but a bit too tedious

@Nzall And what about games that use AI art? (yep, the joke came to mind because I recently read about a game that used AI to generate static cutscenes characters art. It looked as bad as you can imagine, and obviously none of those pictures had the characters costumes being coherent with the game 3d models)

@SPArcheon-onstrike That's a screenshot of a game asset that is made by AI. What I'm talking about is people who generate a screenshot that's not from the game and pass it off as an original screenshot from a modded game version

From my point of view, if it's not a screenshot, it's not a screenshot, so it's not a valid entry. There's no need to have additional rules to prohibit particular kinds of "not a screenshot"

@murgatroid99 These are my thoughts as well. I just don't think a dedicated rule is needed.
