Nudging and various other save moves are part of pinball. Those are always made against the limitations of the tilt bob, skilled players managing to pull insane moves without even getting a warning from the machine.

So let's take a closer look of how the tilt mechanism works. Note that this is completely different beast than the slam tilt, which ends the whole game. Think of normal tilt as a yellow card, the slam tilt being the red!

For a bit of context, this is a reference to a 2014 Counter Strike major tournament where the team Fnatic used an unknown boost to get an unfair advantage over the other team. From their spawn point, they were able to use 3 different players to get a view over half of the map, allowing the pro player Olofmeister to snipe them unawares. They were 13 points down and about to be knocked out of the tournament, but the boost allowed them to win the game and (theoretically) move onto the semi finals. The other team had been using less powerful boost positions against them earlier in the game, and there weren't hard rules against using such strategies, so they felt comfortable using it.

However, the outcry from across the esports world was enough for them to forfeit the match, allowing the other team, LDLC, to progress and eventually win the tournament. It has thus become an iconic moment in esports that shaped both professional standards and Counter Strike map design going forward.

To be completely frank, i created this guide for myself using an LLM, by using this guide that i found on reddit as a starting point. It was completely indecipherable to a new bazziteOS user like myself, but the guide worked! I am posting it here hoping it will be just as helpful for someone else 😁

1. Install the basic tools

You need three main things: Lutris, ProtonUp-Qt, and some Proton-GE builds.

1.1 Enable Flatpak (usually already enabled on Bazzite)

Open a terminal and run:

flatpak remotes

sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

1.2 Install Lutris and ProtonUp-Qt

flatpak install flathub net.lutris.Lutris
flatpak install flathub net.davidotek.pupgui2

2. Install GE-Proton and a vanilla Wine via ProtonUp-Qt

1. Open ProtonUp-Qt (look for “ProtonUp-Qt” in your app menu).
2. At the top, there’s a “Target” selector:
   
   • Set it to “Lutris”.

   
   

3. Click “Add version”:
   
   • For GE-Proton:
     
     • Type: GE-Proton
     • Pick a recent version (e.g. GE-Proton9-XX or similar).

     
     

   • For Wine (vanilla):
     
     • Type: Wine-GE or Lutris-Wine or similar “vanilla-ish” Wine build.
       (You just need a normal 64‑bit Wine version, not Proton, to create the prefix.)

     
     

   
   

When done, ProtonUp-Qt will have installed:
- One vanilla Wine build for prefix creation.
- One GE-Proton build for running Photoshop.

3. Get the patched Wine from the guide (OP’s tar.gz)

From the guide you quoted, there’s a patched Wine tar.gz file. Do this:

1. Download that wine-...tar.gz file into your Downloads folder.
2. Right-click → Extract Here (or use your file manager’s extract option).
3. You should end up with a folder that contains something like bin/wine inside.
   Note the full path to that folder (for example:
   /home/yourname/Downloads/wine-op-patched/).

We’ll point Lutris to that later.

4. Prepare a folder for the Photoshop prefix

This is where your “fake Windows C: drive” will live.

1. Create a folder, for example:

mkdir -p ~/Games/photoshop2021-prefix

5. Create a new Lutris entry for Photoshop

1. Open Lutris.
2. Click the “+” button → “Add locally installed game”.
3. In the Game info tab:
   
   • Name: Adobe Photoshop 2021
   • Runner: choose Wine.

   
   

4. Click Save once to create it, then right-click the new entry → Configure.

6. Step 1 in the guide: create a 64‑bit prefix with vanilla Wine

In the Configure window for Photoshop:

6.1 Runner options

Go to the “Runner options” tab:

• Wine version:
  Choose the vanilla Wine you installed via ProtonUp-Qt (it will appear in the list, often with a name like wine-ge-... or lutris-fshack-...—pick the one that is not GE-Proton if you installed both).
• Enable DXVK/VKD3D/etc: leave defaults for now.

6.2 Game options

Go to the “Game options” tab:

• Executable:
  Point this to your Photoshop 2021 installer (e.g. /home/yourname/Downloads/Photoshop2021/setup.exe).
• Wine prefix:
  Set this to the folder you created:
  ~/Games/photoshop2021-prefix

6.3 Make sure the prefix is 64‑bit

Lutris usually creates 64‑bit prefixes by default, but to be explicit:

1. Go to the “System options” tab.
2. In Environment variables, add:
   
   • Key: WINEARCH
   • Value: win64

   
   

Click Save.

6.4 Initialize the prefix

Now, with vanilla Wine selected:

1. In Lutris, right-click Adobe Photoshop 2021 → Wine console (or Run EXE inside wine prefix if available).
2. If there’s an option like “Run EXE inside wine prefix”, choose something harmless (or just run the game once).
   The goal: let Wine create the prefix at ~/Games/photoshop2021-prefix.

If it asks to install Mono or Gecko, accept.

Once that’s done, the 64‑bit prefix is initialized.

7. Step 2: switch to OP’s patched Wine for the actual install

Now we follow the “Wine for creating prefix → patched Wine for install” part.

1. Right-click Adobe Photoshop 2021 in Lutris → Configure.
2. Go to “Runner options”.
3. For Wine version, choose “Custom” (or similar wording).
4. There should be a field like “Custom Wine executable” or “Use system/custom Wine”:
   
   • Point it to the wine binary inside the patched tar.gz folder, e.g.:
     /home/yourname/Downloads/wine-op-patched/bin/wine

   
   

5. Make sure Wine prefix in Game options is still:
   ~/Games/photoshop2021-prefix.
6. Make sure Executable is still your Photoshop installer.

Click Save.

Now run the game entry in Lutris (double-click it).
This should launch the Photoshop 2021 installer using the patched Wine.

• Go through the installer like on Windows.
• Install into the default path (usually C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2021).

When the installer finishes, close it.

8. Step 3: switch to GE-Proton to run Photoshop

Now we follow the last part: “GE-Proton for running the app”.

1. Right-click Adobe Photoshop 2021 → Configure.
2. Game options:
   
   • Change Executable from the installer to the actual Photoshop EXE inside the prefix, something like:

     /home/yourname/Games/photoshop2021-prefix/drive_c/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop 2021/Photoshop.exe

   
   

3. Runner options:
   
   • Wine version: choose the GE-Proton build you installed via ProtonUp-Qt (e.g. GE-Proton9-XX).

   
   

4. Keep Wine prefix as ~/Games/photoshop2021-prefix.

Click Save.

Now double-click Adobe Photoshop 2021 in Lutris.
If everything went right, Photoshop should start.

9. Quality-of-life tweaks (optional but helpful)

• Fonts & UI issues:
  If text looks weird, you can install corefonts and other components via Winetricks (Lutris → right-click game → Winetricks).
• Performance:
  In Runner options, you can enable DXVK, Esync, Fsync if they aren’t already.

10. If something breaks

Because you’re new to Linux, a few tips if it doesn’t work:

• If the prefix gets messed up, you can:
  
  • Close Lutris.
  • Delete ~/Games/photoshop2021-prefix.
  • Recreate it and repeat from Step 6.

  
  

• When asking for help online, mention:
  
  • Distro: BazziteOS (Fedora-based)
  • Runner: Lutris
  • Wine version: which vanilla Wine, which patched Wine, which GE-Proton version
  • Any error messages from Lutris logs.

The orchestration of a mobile sand production line is a logistical endeavor that demands meticulous forethought, for its very mobility implies a transient existence—it will arrive, assemble, produce, and eventually decamp to the next quarry face or project site. Unlike a fixed plant bolted to concrete plinths for decades, a mobile system must be designed for rapid deployment and disassembly, making the installation phase a critical test of project management acumen. A successful installation hinges not merely on the machinery itself, but on the coordinated arrival of specialized tools, the availability of heavy lifting equipment, and a rigidly adhered-to timeline that accounts for the inevitable quirks of site conditions. Overlooking a single hydraulic torque wrench or misjudging the ground-bearing pressure for outriggers can cascade into costly delays. This checklist serves as a guide through that intricate dance, ensuring that when the first stone is fed into the hopper, every preceding step has been executed with precision, transforming a collection of modules into a finely tuned, aggregate-producing symphony.

Essential Tooling and Calibration Equipment for Assembly

Before a single bolt is turned, the installation crew must verify the presence of specialized tooling that goes far beyond a standard mechanic's set. The assembly of [mobile crushers](aimixgroup.com/stone-crusher-p…

) and screens relies heavily on high-torque hydraulic tightening equipment to achieve the precise pre-load specifications on critical structural fasteners, particularly those securing the jaw or impact crusher base frames to the chassis. A calibrated hydraulic torque wrench set, complete with appropriate sockets and a reliable pump, is non-negotiable for preventing bolt fatigue under the dynamic loads of crushing. Additionally, the team requires laser alignment tools or precision levels to ensure that conveyor drives are perfectly coaxial and that screen boxes are mounted without torsional stress, which would drastically shorten bearing life. For the electrical integration, a comprehensive set of insulated tools, a multimeter capable of checking phase rotation and voltage, and a megohmmeter for testing motor winding insulation resistance are imperative before energizing the system. This preparatory phase also demands an inventory of rigging gear: nylon slings protected from sharp edges, shackles of appropriate tonnage, and spreader bars to lift delicate components like screen media without damage.

Heavy Lifting and Site Preparation Prerequisites

The physical placement of a mobile sand making machine plant is a ballet of heavy machinery that demands the site itself be prepared as a willing partner. Prior to the arrival of the low-loaders delivering the plant modules, the ground must be assessed and prepared. A geotechnical evaluation of the pad area is wise; the bearing capacity must support not only the static weight of the fully assembled plant but also the dynamic, vibrating loads it will impose during operation. Once confirmed, mobile cranes of suitable capacity—often ranging from 50 to 150 tonnes, depending on the largest module—must be positioned on stable, compacted ground, sometimes requiring the use of steel crane mats to distribute the immense point loads. The sequence of lifts follows a predetermined logic: the primary crusher unit is typically set first, establishing the anchor point, followed by the positioning of screens and then the intricate network of transfer conveyors. During this phase, the chosen mobile crane must have the boom length and radius to reach over partially assembled structures to place subsequent components safely, a choreography that requires clear communication between the crane operator and the rigging crew, often relying on hand signals or radio comms to navigate blind lifts.

Phased Timeline from Foundation Work to First Material

Condensing the installation into a predictable timeline requires breaking the process into distinct, sequential phases, each with its own milestones. The initial phase, encompassing site survey, pad preparation, and crane mobilization, typically consumes the first two to three days, contingent on weather and ground conditions. The subsequent mechanical assembly phase follows, a period of intense activity where the major modules are craned into place and mechanically connected. This includes installing crushers, bolting screen decks, and connecting conveyor sections—a process that, for a standard two-stage mobile plant, might occupy four to five full days with a crew of six. The third phase involves the meticulous work of belt lacing on all conveyors; this is a critical path item, as improperly vulcanized or mechanically fastened belts are a primary source of early downtime. Following mechanical completion, the electrical and hydraulic commissioning begins. This involves terminating control cables, programming the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), and testing all safety interlocks. A prudent timeline reserves two full days for this, followed by a day of "dry runs" without material to verify rotation directions and system responses. Only then does the plant see its first feed, a cautious start-up where material is introduced slowly to "bed in" the belts and allow operators to make initial tracking adjustments, marking the culmination of roughly two weeks of concerted effort from pad preparation to the first rumbling of processed sand.

For years, the narrative around plastic pyrolysis has been dominated by fuel. The vision was simple: take non-recyclable plastic waste, heat it up, and turn it back into the oil it came from. But as the technology matures, a more sophisticated and economically compelling question is emerging: Why burn it when you can break it?

While burning pyrolysis oil in boilers or engines generates energy, using it as a chemical feedstock unlocks a completely different level of value. We are moving from the kilowatt-hour to the molecule. In the world of materials, molecules are worth far more than calories.

1. The Naphtha Replacement Theory
   To understand the potential of plastic pyrolysis oil (often called "py-oil") as a feedstock, we have to look at the front end of a modern refinery: the steam cracker.

Today, steam crackers primarily consume feedstocks like naphtha (from crude oil) or natural gas liquids (ethane, propane) to produce the building blocks of the petrochemical industry—ethylene, propylene, butadiene, and BTX (benzene, toluene, xylene). These are the molecules that become plastics, synthetic rubber, fibers, and solvents.

Plastic py-oil, particularly from polyolefins (like polyethylene and polypropylene, which make up the majority of packaging waste), is chemically very similar to naphtha. It is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons that, if cleaned up, can be dropped directly into a steam cracker.

This concept is known as chemical recycling or feedstock recycling. Instead of downcycling plastic into a lower-quality product, you are returning it to its molecular origins to make new virgin-quality plastics. This creates a true circular economy for plastics.

1. The Cracking Potential: What’s in the Mix?
   Not all pyrolysis oil is created equal. Its value as a chemical feedstock depends entirely on its composition. When analyzing a sample of plastic py-oil, we look for three key fractions:
2. The Olefinic Gases (C1-C4):
   Even within the liquid oil, there are light ends that are gaseous at room temperature. These include methane, ethane, ethylene, propane, and propylene. In a fuel application, these might be burned to heat the reactor. In a feedstock scenario, these are high-value monomers. Recovering ethylene and propylene from the oil stream allows you to directly recycle the building blocks of plastic.
3. The Naphtha Range (C5-C10):
   This is the sweet spot. This fraction contains the molecules that steam crackers are designed to process. It includes paraffins, isoparaffins, olefins, naphthenes, and aromatics. A high-quality py-oil will have a high concentration of this naphtha-range material, making it an excellent substitute for fossil naphtha.
4. The Heavy Residue (C11+):
   Heavier waxes and tars. While they have fuel value, they are less desirable for cracking. These heavy ends can cause coking and fouling in a steam cracker. Therefore, the purification process often involves distillation to separate this heavy fraction from the light and middle distillates.
5. The Aromatic Advantage: BTX from Plastics
   Beyond the simple olefins, pyrolysis oil is a treasure trove of aromatics, specifically Benzene, Toluene, and Xylene (BTX). These are some of the highest-value basic chemicals in the world.

When plastics like Polystyrene (PS) are pyrolyzed, they tend to revert to their monomer, Styrene, which is a direct precursor to valuable polymers. Similarly, other plastics and the catalytic degradation of polyolefins can yield high concentrations of BTX.

The advantage here is significant. Producing BTX from fossil naphtha in a refinery requires complex catalytic reforming processes. Extracting BTX directly from plastic waste via pyrolysis simplifies the supply chain. It turns a waste stream directly into a high-purity chemical stream after appropriate separation and hydrogenation.

1. The Purity Problem: The Gatekeeper to the Cracker
   This is where the rubber meets the road. A steam cracker is a sensitive piece of equipment. It operates at extreme temperatures and relies on precise catalysis. Contaminants are its enemy.

Raw plastic pyrolysis oil from plastic to oil machine comes with a host of impurities that must be removed before it can be considered a "drop-in" feedstock:

Chlorine: From PVC plastics, even in small amounts, chlorine creates HCl acid, which corrodes the cracker and poisons catalysts.

Nitrogen: From nylons or other engineering plastics, nitrogen leads to NOx emissions and catalyst deactivation.

Sulfur: While sometimes present, sulfur can also be a catalyst poison.

Solid Residue: Char and ash particles from the pyrolysis process must be filtered out to prevent erosion and fouling.

Diolefins: These are highly reactive molecules that can polymerize in the pre-heater of a steam cracker, forming gums and fouling the equipment.

Therefore, the "pyrolysis oil as feedstock" model requires a pretreatment unit. This typically involves hydrogenation (mild hydrotreating) to saturate the diolefins and remove heteroatoms like Cl, N, and S, followed by distillation to cut the oil into the desired fractions.

1. The Economic Reality: Fuel vs. Feedstock
   Why would a company go through the trouble of purification instead of just selling the oil as industrial fuel?

The answer lies in the value pyramid. Burning pyrolysis oil treats it like a commodity—you get paid for its energy content (BTUs). Selling it as a feedstock, however, ties its value to the oil price, but with a significant premium.

Fuel Market: Pyrolysis oil competes with heavy fuel oil or coal. The price is low, and the margins are thin.

Feedstock Market: Refined py-oil competes with naphtha. Naphtha prices are generally higher than fuel oil. Furthermore, in a world demanding circularity, "circular naphtha" commands a green premium. Brands are willing to pay more for plastics made from recycled waste because it helps them meet sustainability goals.

Conclusion: The Molecule Economy
The future of plastic pyrolysis lies in its integration with the petrochemical industry. As major chemical companies like BASF, Shell, and SABIC invest in chemical recycling, they are not looking for fuel; they are looking for molecules.

They want the ethylene to make new food-grade packaging. They want the benzene to make styrene for synthetic rubber. They want the propylene for automotive parts.

By viewing plastic pyrolysis oil not as a low-grade fuel substitute, but as a liquid feedstock of high-value hydrocarbons, we shift the paradigm. We stop simply managing waste and start mining it for the chemical building blocks of the modern world. In this new paradigm, the value isn't in the flame—it's in the formula.
