the fish multiplier

EDIT: id like to correct my catastrophic misunderstanding of the above structure, as this is, in fact, a fish divider

This is just a screenshot of Factorio

[-] megopie@beehaw.org 1 points 6 hours ago

Pyanodons specifically, what with all the loops and inexplicable animals in the production line.

[-] zxqwas@lemmy.world 119 points 1 day ago

It's the large haddock collider.

[-] stretch2m@infosec.pub 5 points 20 hours ago

It makes me sad to know I will never come up with a quip this clever.

I'm more confused about the fact that the salmon go in backwards

[-] Janx@piefed.social 42 points 1 day ago

Once inside, they instinctively swim against the strong current of water rushing downward. That means they end up moving backward down the spiral, eventually getting pushed out the bottom of the helix into the river.

This method has lead to better survival rates than when the fish were spilled over the top of the dam.

Fishy want get stronk.

wow this is awesome!

[-] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 12 points 1 day ago

Salmon like to go downstream backwards

[-] IrritableOcelot@beehaw.org 7 points 21 hours ago

The all new Fish++ turns six backwards fish into just ONE, which is just so, so fishy.

The Fish Cannon 2000 is a hydraulically, electrically, or pneumatically driven, six-barrel, water-cooled, electrically fired Gatling-style rotary cannon which fires fish caliber fish at an extremely high rate (typically 6,000 rounds per minute). The FC2k and its derivatives have been the principal cannon armament of United Fish States military fixed-wing aircraft for over forty years, as of the turn of century.

Each of the cannon's six barrels fires once in turn during each revolution of the barrel cluster. The multiple barrels provide both a very high rate of fire—around 100 fish per second—and contribute to prolonged weapon life by minimizing barrel erosion and heat generation. The average time between jams or failures is in excess of 10,000 fish, making it an extremely reliable weapon.

With the machine completed, the messiah had automated his primary task and was thus terminated for redundancy.

Six fish enter! One fish leaves!

Salmon Multiplexer

Proposed design for the Salmon Combiner Turbine.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 day ago

The salmonplexer

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 day ago

It's actually a salmon decimator. 1 in, many out

[-] Asafum@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Check the arrow direction, it's a salmon smasher!

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 day ago

Their tails deceived me!! This large salmon collider will hopefully find the Biggs Bass-n particles that fishermen always say got away.

[-] igmelonh@feddit.online 8 points 1 day ago

Yeah, though I can see how it looks like it's going the other way at first glance, what with the fish facing the wrong direction.

I think it's actually a salmonado

Must you live so relentlessly in facts and reality?

FLOUNDERDOME: Six fish enter, one fish leaves!

[-] thisbenzingring@lemmy.today 6 points 1 day ago

LoL I had the exact same idea

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Fish comes in, fish goes out, you can't explain that!

[-] I_am_10_squirrels@beehaw.org 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Looks more like a combiner. OR gate for fishes? If any channel is FISH, it outputs FISH

[-] guy@piefed.social 1 points 1 hour ago

Shit the arrows are the wrong way. Large Salmon Combiner it is.

[-] sudoMakeUser@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

Will this turbo fit in my Miata?

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

The Jesus device increases fish output 600%. Patent pending.

[-] RiceMunk@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 day ago

You use this to combine several C-tier fish into one B-tier fish, or split a B-tier fish into multiple C-tier ones. Or same with other adjacent tiers, though there's some additional inefficiency penalties with higher tiers.

It's pretty useful for compact setups where you need a specific tier of fish, but it's much more efficient to collect all types fish and implement some filtering logic to route them by tier to where they're needed.

[-] PennyRoyal@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

Six in the front, one in the back
