I think there might be a cap

#

It's a little warm here

#

Dunno how I even have a city, I don't think the game is registering the lack of solid ground

solid lynx
#

Converted the temperature into F

#

Gonna be -123 degrees when the Soletta is finished working

#

A new hope for the future of Mars

daring spear
#

It's around 330°f on my planet

solid lynx
#

Wait I wonder

#

Could I get rid of the water by just completely igniting the surface?

#

Sorry flintstone

daring spear
#

Maybe

#

Probably

solid lynx
#

But I have to try it

#

I will recreate you soon

daring spear
#

Pretty sure it can evaporate

solid lynx
#

Hmm

#

Probably

#

No reason not to try though

#

See if it will get rid of it completely

daring spear
#

Pffff governorName_

solid lynx
#

Seems like so much time has passed that even the game is confused lol

daring spear
#

Yup lmao

#

I remember the first time I got a planet to be habitable enough to let people leave the habitats
And
Then I messed up and left the game for a couple days

#

Annnnd everyone outside the domes died

#

And also
Learned the hard way to pay attention to sea level when building cities

solid lynx
daring spear
#

Not a bad strategy

#

Stupid research taking forever
At least I won't have to worry about losing too much pressure, with -40 a minute

solid lynx
#

However all in all the advantage of Mons being nearly 14 miles tall is pretty much gone when the ocean is 56 miles deep

daring spear
#

Also true lmao

solid lynx
#

And also yeah when you raise the temperature water just turns into vapor in the atmosphere

#

So which should I do in order to be able to build?

daring spear
#

I thought so

#

Hmm

solid lynx
#

Should I turn it all into ice

#

Or vapor?

#

Up to you, doesn’t matter much to me

daring spear
#

Probably vapor
Seems safer long term

solid lynx
#

Ok

#

Will do

#

And plus i’d prefer to live on the surface of a planet rather than on top of 56 miles of ice

daring spear
#

Yeahhh

solid lynx
#

I just hope the Soletta can get the temperature high enough to turn ALL of the water into vapor

#

It can turn it all into ice

#

Currently year 38510 lol

#

But hey I also have a crapton of money

#

Because Phobos and Deimos have been generating cash for like

#

A year

#

So I have over 50 mil

daring spear
#

Sweet

solid lynx
#

Yeah

dense shell
#

Sentinels... 😳
Slowly steps out of channel*

solid lynx
#

It would seem

#

That the maximum temperature the Soletta can get doesn’t turn enough water into vapor for me to be able to build

#

So gonna need to freeze it instead

#

Remember watching a lot of a youtuber who played that game a while back

#

Seemed fun

dry copper
#

Little confused by this jack the ripper dlc. I see no option to start the DLC

#

I have the DLC on Ubisoft connect.

novel glade
#

Campaigns aren't fully developed yet, but they just added a bunch of nations decently

#

It was Britbong and Germoney only before, now you have French, Spanish, and Italian as well iirc

winter yew
#

I love that French got censored out.

solid lynx
#

Last time I checked on the game

#

Could only get it from their website

#

Now I might seriously consider buying it for myself

novel glade
#

I'd say the game is fun, and campaigns go for long, you could watch the campaign gameplays now though

#

Would give you a better idea

#

The CL I just made has a turning circle of 864m

#

Wot

solid lynx
#

Uhh

#

Seems a little big

#

Why don’t you try pulling a Japan style and just build the largest ship possible

#

Biggest guns

#

Everything

#

Turning radius: eventually

novel glade
#

Heh

dry copper
#

It's weird. Turns out the jack the ripper dlc was added to my ubisoft connect account as a new copy of AC Syndicate

novel glade
#

My building a max size BC rn, turning circle is 724m

#

So I have two AC Syndicates on one account

#

Then it fails to validate the installation I currently have, from steam. Fun times.

#

Steam verifies fine.

#

I just didn't want to need to redownload the game to get the files.

#

I wonder if the download would see I already have the files and not overwrite or prompt

solid lynx
#

All in all though while it may be impressive building a massively oversized battleship is a huge misallocation of resources

novel glade
solid lynx
#

Plus having super thick belt armor doesn’t matter if a few well aimed bombs will blow up the whole thing

Oh sweet. It's doing a file discovery

#

BC is Battle Cruiser, right?

novel glade
#

Yes

solid lynx
#

And BB is Battleship?

novel glade
#

Yep

solid lynx
#

Bout the most I know about the abbreviations lol

novel glade
#

Also funnily enough, this ship has 14" main belt and 12" fore-and-aft belts

#

"""Battlecruiser"""

#

More like 26knot BB in 1907

tranquil bone
#

fawghiaogh

solid lynx
novel glade
#

The BB HMS Dreadnought, which was launched just a year before this ship, had an 11" main belt

solid lynx
#

Uhh

#

Why is it still considered a BC then

#

Small guns?

novel glade
#

Idk, ship classes are chosen before you build

solid lynx
#

What year is it in-game?

Mad Max has to be the best surprise in an open world game I played in years. Horribly underrated gem

winter yew
#

I wholly agree.

The driving is fun. The world is hot garbage. The dialogue is meh. Combat is BATMAN. I reinstall it every year to just play around

#

My absolute favorite part of Mad Max were the storms

#

They were absolutely incredible

winter yew
#

Storms are fantastic.

dry copper
#

When you get stuck in the middle of a nightmarish hellstorm of lightning and blinding sand blowing up every thing around you...It makes road combat so fun

#

Unlike some games where the enemies phase through asteroids and rocks...In Mad Max, that shit will kill everything

tame cairn
#

i remember watching someone play it when it came out

#

i heard nothing about it though besides that video i watched

dry copper
#

I only have 90 hours in mad max.

#

It's the kind of game every playthrough can feel unique

winter yew
#

I got a cheap key and regretted not paying full price.

#

Paid something stupid like £3.

dry copper
#

Humble has it for like $8 canadian now

winter yew
#

Jesus.

#

Worth so much more 😩

dry copper
#

meh...not at this age

#

I don't believe games should retain their original retail price years later unless new content is added to justify it.

#

Max came out in 2015

winter yew
#

Price dropped very quick IIRC.

dry copper
#

They were contending with Phantom pain and didn't have the money to wait for a profit on the title

#

One of the downsides of taking loans for development or answering to investors

#

I was digging around yesterday for pricing on Ghost Recon Break Point. Steam still has it priced ridiculously high, but I found the ultimate edition on fanatical with all the dlc and extra shit priced 50% of just the game alone on steam

I enjoyed the single player campaigns for call of duty

#

Heh

#

Those are all 20" guns btw

solid lynx
#

That the largest size in the game?

novel glade
#

Yes

#

It is larger than the largest irl, which Yamato had at 18"s

solid lynx
#

Wonder what the displacement of that behemoth is

novel glade
#

281k Tons

solid lynx
#

Yeah sounds about right

#

So displacement is the weight of the water it displaces, correct?

novel glade
#

Yes

solid lynx
#

Just double checking

novel glade
#

In order to float

solid lynx
#

I can’t watch that video rn but I sure am watching it later

#

So you can make that in the vanilla game?

novel glade
#

They do have beam and draught options, but to make it that large you need to modify blueprints

#

But it doesn't require additional mods or anything

#

Basically a txt file

solid lynx
#

I can see one massive glaring issue with that design though

#

Even more susceptible to bombs than a regular battleship

#

Better give that thing some super beefy deck armor

novel glade
#

Not bombs since the game only has ships, but plunging fire would be very effective

solid lynx
# novel glade 281k Tons

Lmao wikipedia says the displacement of the largest aircraft carrier (USS Gerald R. Ford) is only 100k tons

dry copper
#

Annoying. This syndicate game requires uplay, whilst ignoring that I'm using ubisoft connect.

novel glade
#

No, they might add them later idk

#

The game starts in 1890 and goes up to 1940, so they might bring them for the later era (starting from 30's) campaigns

solid lynx
#

So wait do you literally start with like, Ironclads?

novel glade
#

Yep

#

There's even an Academy mission with Monitors

solid lynx
#

Monitors?

#

Not familiar

#

Also, what about submarines?

novel glade
#

No subs yet either

solid lynx
#

Would make sense for them to add as they would pop up as early as like the 1910s

#

Submarines

novel glade
#

I'd highly suggest watching Drachinifel if you are interested in the subject

#

The two ships on the forefront there are Ironclad monitors

#

Well, the single turret one is the USS Monitor

solid lynx
#

Why is it so flat

#

Smallest target possible?

novel glade
#

A bit, they also don't have much draught

#

Basically, they're patrol boats

#

Very early implementation of large guns on smallest hull possible

#

The other with the pyramid-like superstructure is CSS Virginia

#

She had more traditional broadsides

#

No turret

solid lynx
#

So

#

Which won that fight?

novel glade
#

Neither, really

solid lynx
#

Fair enough

novel glade
#

Both of their guns were insufficient to penetrate the other's armour iirc

#

So between the horrendous accuracy even at that short range, and that, it was a stalemate

solid lynx
#

So it was pretty much like two guys in plate armor shooting each other with slingshots?

novel glade
#

Yeah

solid lynx
#

Think whenever I have the cash i’ll try the game out

novel glade
#

It is quite decent imo, there's enough content to entertain you long enough to at least get your money's worth. And you can do custom battles, which is what I do the most

solid lynx
#

An ironclad fight sounds like it would be the most fun, given you pretty much have to be right up in the enemy’s face

#

But then again, nothing beats seeing a battleship fire a full broadside

novel glade
#

2 turrets.

Technically yes, but only for the copy of the game I have on steam. My account on ubi now has two copies of the game with two different carriers. I've managed to recover the save from steam and am going to try injecting that to the ubisoft version

Same problem with Horizon 4

Doesn't save locally

Delays

Because despite it not being an amazing game

At least it wasn’t super buggy

idle saffron

Nah, but typical Bethesda would just release and patch some stuff later - releasing with known bugs from previous versions of the engine even

Tfw the launch will be so bad that even Bethesda decides to delay

sleek cloud
idle saffron
#

Cmon man, use the good one

dry copper
# sleek cloud 4 out of 5 times i've died were due to bugs

Yeah....The only way Star Citizen is going to get finished is if people stop playing it. The success or failure of the game long term depends on three metrics. Recurrent logins (new blood), persistent logins (blood flow) and purchases.

They're flush with cash so the purchase metric is floating the entire project, but their lack of progress suggests they behave like they don't even need to encourage persistent or recurrent logins.

Worse, the failure of the SC project may serve to embolden other companies with similar interests. Raise a ton of money and let the project fizzle into obsolescence until there are so few touching it that they can blame their fans fickle interests for their failures rather than their lack of progress.

#

Cutting their metrics before they're broke at least they have enough flush to recover and finish.

@daring spear Either I did the math wrong or there is only 1.5 days left at current rates until the water frozen in ice on mars is low enough to thaw out

And oxygen and pressure are already at good levels

So when I thaw out the water the planet will be immediately ready to start supporting life

And if you did the math wrong?

No

Then it’ll just take longer

What game? Sounds fun!

#

Have to terraform planets

#

I am trying to repair the damage caused when I abandoned a game over a year ago

#

When I came back the planet was completely flooded by an ocean 56 miles deep

#

And I had to freeze the entire planet solid so I could start a city

primal loom
#

Oh man

idle saffron
#

Hahaha, that's neat

#

Frostpunk

solid lynx
idle saffron
#

How many cities can you have?

solid lynx
#

Don’t know

#

Has to be a limit though because cities have to be built a good bit away from each other

#

Only have two cities

#

The other ones are mining outposts with no permanent population

#

The cities have about a million people between them

idle saffron
#

Decent size for colonies

solid lynx
#

Flintstone was the first city on the planet

#

But Gateway City has a higher population

#

It being the socket city for the space elevator

idle saffron
#

Cool

#

Spirit has played a ton of this

#

She named a city after me on one planet PikaAdore

solid lynx
#

Spirit named Flintstone

#

And Gateway City was originally named Space Elevator City but I decided that was a tad too bland

#

And so I went with Gateway City because it’s the gateway to the stars

#

And somehow we’ve also built cities on Mars’ moons despite how small they are

#

The two moons have a population of about 500,000 between them

idle saffron
#

Doing well? I don't know the numbers

solid lynx
#

Yes

#

And when I say they’re small I mean it

#

Phobos only has a diameter of 11 km

#

And Deimos 6

#

Although I do suppose that it’s really surface area that counts

primal loom
#

Cute potato moons 🥔

solid lynx
#

Phobos has about 1,500 square km of surface area

#

And Deimos 500

#

And the two moons are less for the population more for making moolah

#

Because spaceports make money

#

So both moons have a disproportionate number of spaceports

#

Deimos can hold 3 structures and two are spaceports

idle saffron
#

Port town

solid lynx
#

And Phobos can hold 6 buildings

#

4 are spaceports

#

Phobos’s population is 345,000

#

Deimos’s population is 172,500

#

Which is the maximum they can hold with the number of habitation buildings they have

#

Flintstone has a population of about 509,000 and rising

idle saffron
#

Weeee

solid lynx
#

Gateway City has a population of around 541,000 and rising

#

Flintstone currently has a max capacity of 517,500

#

Gateway has a max of 695,750

idle saffron
#

Getting beeg

solid lynx
#

Yep

#

Plus if all goes well the cities will soon not have to be sealed

#

People will be able to actually live on the surface of the planet

idle saffron
#

Yay!

solid lynx
#

The line you see is a highway to Gateway

Actual stats. Red means can’t support life, blue means can support life but not perfect, green means perfect.

#

Needs more fire

solid lynx
#

That’s heat, the cloud is atmospheric pressure

charred badge
#

Planets should be 50% fire

solid lynx
#

The other two are self explanatory

#

That’s Mars lol

charred badge
#

Definitely not enough visible flame

solid lynx
#

Well it certainly is less red than it used to be

#

Although I suppose that whenever I melt the ice and before plants start growing that signature red ought to return

#

Although this time mixed with blue

#

In the game you can make satellites that have all sorts of different functions

#

In my opinion the most useful is the Soletta

#

It automatically regulates the planet’s temperature to whatever you set it to

#

Is how I froze the planet in the first place

#

If I hadn’t had it when I came back to the abandoned game it would have been a lost cause

#

As there would have been no way to lower the water level

#

Biggest upcoming issue is gonna be balancing out the pressure change whenever I disable the machines lowering the water level

#

Because while they each do -396 water

#

They also do +30 pressure

#

And I currently have a bunch of pressure lowering machines i’m using to keep pressure from changing with those on

#

But whenever I turn off the water lowerers the pressure will drop like a rock

#

So I really need to put my thinking cap on and figure out what i’ll need to balance it whenever the counterbalance is removed

#

However if push comes to shove I have an idea

#

Make the same number of equally effective machines that add water instead of getting rid of it

#

Or in other words

#

Get water as fast as I lose it

idle saffron
#

There you go

solid lynx
#

Because I won’t have to balance the thing other than water it makes

#

As it just makes heat

#

And the Soletta automatically deals with that

#

So I think that tactic is exactly the one I will do

idle saffron
#

Sounds like the way to go

solid lynx
#

Just need to research the thing I need

#

Then I can build them and disable them so that they are ready to go as soon as I need them

#

Kinda funny though

#

The two devices get/remove the water in the exact opposite ways

#

The one that gets rid of water is called the ice launcher, and it packs up a ton of ice and launches it into space like a comet

#

And then the one that gets water is called the comet sling

#

And it gets comets from space and brings them to the planet

idle saffron
#

Lol

#

Yeah!

And i’ve been looking into it

#

And admittedly

#

After looking into it a bit more

#

I’m kinda scared lol

daring spear
#

Yeah, it's a lot to keep track of lmao

#

I think only one of my planets has them. They're a little intimidating

solid lynx

Good news though

#

Two stats in the green now

daring spear
#

Eyyy

solid lynx
#

Once it’s less chilly humans should be able to survive on the surface

daring spear
#

I like that "the hiker" legend that people come up with sometimes on there. Reports of a humanoid walking unprotected on the surface. It's funny

#

And probably the people in the domes hallucinating

solid lynx
#

Oh wow lucky

#

I was researching comet sling and there was like 2h left

#

But a random event made it complete immediately

daring spear
#

Sweet!

#

Right before you said that I had a random event lower the level of my hydrogen processor
Lmao

#

One of them anyway

solid lynx
#

Hmmm

#

I have realized a flaw in my water plan

#

While it will cancel out the water removed by the ice launchers

#

There are other sources of water than that

#

Namely

#

My hab domes

daring spear
#

Right

#

Yay, juggling

solid lynx
#

So I will continue with my plan to cancel out the ice launchers

#

But

#

Gonna also need to cancel out the other water sources

#

Total of 440 water being generated at the moment

#

And 2,340 being removed

#

How can I get 440 more water to be removed

#

Okay so

#

This stuff is starting to frustrate me

#

And I also really don’t want to have to deal with biospheres in the future

#

So i’m thinking

#

I might start a new game

#

I kinda want a clean slate

#

What do you think, @daring spear?

silver sparrow
#

@wary rapids do you reckon i should start a new character?

daring spear
solid lynx
#

Yeah I think i’m gonna do that

I played it for like 10 hours, had to ride a train, fly a ship which i think exploded because someone shot it
Then i had to wait for the ship to come back in the hangar and for some reason it had a large timer , so i didn't play after that

west pagoda

have to say more time In portia but with a more plaesing aesthetic (for me) and new NPCs,not unapealing

I just found an old song I've been looking for, for literally years

#

DJs are always remixing other DJ stuff. Sometimes it creates a sort of musical evolution. Other times less so. The way the song "Eurodancer" was remixed over the years is a perfect demonstration of this organic musical process. One of my favorite songs just because of the way other DJs have taken it and changed it

#

Gigi D'Agostino's "The Riddle" is another good one.

Gigi was my introduction to electronic dance music
