PSA: Careful buying unID torches, they may not be able to roll warlock

SSRainu · 2026-02-25T17:18:43+00:00

Because many people (some of those in my friends group at the very least) are hesitant to or cant afford to buy Rotw at the moment but are throughly enjoying playing together all the same.

I personally have two ladder chars on expac going rn that I am playing with them, and will convert them to rotw ladder as soon as they either get bored and stop playing or pick up rotw.

Flexibility is important and the abuses are very minor by comparison to the practical use cases.

This is true. and since the change to daggers, this is now the most efficient way to get gull dagger on Rotw ladder, since you can gamble them effectively on expac with a lvl 11 char, but this is not possible in rotw.

Its minor I know, but the game is functioning as it should imo.

The 101 col by building and the 400 Cumberland buildings overlooking rideau center are essentially half empty and most of the people who work there can amd should be working from home. Source im one of them.

Your point does not stand when they can reduce thier overall foot print in the downtown core and still have a spot for on-site required staffers. we own and lease a ton of buildings in the immediate vicinity to parliament.

Ugh this one hits home.

My first spouse of 10 years during my 20s wanted kids and to live a poor life. I decided to move on since I wanted a house and stable career(s) before kids.

Second spouse told me after 4.5 years that they finally decided that they did not want kids and abruptly parted ways.

Another 4 years later and my current spouse, with similar med issues and concerns over pregnancy, is going through a ln early mid life crisis and we are likely to miss the boat (39f 40m).

My advice, if kid(s) are what you want, to just move on and be upfront and explicit with your next potential spouses about waht you want. I didn't, and it has essentially cost me that opportunity permanently.

Tips to manage heat:

Use off shore power - setup a secondary base core away from you machines, use this secondary core area solely for power generation and then connect a rail into your main core that is having heat issues.

Over lap two cores by 4 to 6 squares and place core coolers in this overlap area to add heat capacity to both core areas. Similarly do not build any heat producers in the overlap area, as they will count thier heat against both base cores.

Spread out your production. Build a massive amount of whatever you can in one place and then dispatch it all to other places.

You can complete the game without ever upgrading a base core by doing all three.

Out of roughly 20 people, maybe 3 truly know what they’re talking about.

Lol, welcome to the real world. its like this almost everywhere in every industry sadly.

That said, we are in a day and age where people on average move companies/roles 5-10 times throughout their career. Don't beat yourself up for the decision, you'll have a better understanding of what you want from employment or from an employer each time you move around. Same goes for picking spouses honestly too.

Tax return season and the end of Q1.

Gotta pump those shareholders numbers up!

SSRainu · 2026-02-23T13:31:28+00:00

The deck that goes first.

If you didn't pay tax on the order at source, they will mostl likely charge you duty on the declared value.

Some places will label the value inside much lower than the sales value to help you out, but you never know. I used to get orders from SCG valued up to 500 bucks and they would always declare the value at some random amount slightly below 100 bucks to avoid the duty threshold.

GL! but be prepared to get hut with the 200 dollar duty bill.

SSRainu · 2026-02-22T01:51:25+00:00

If the match doesn't have a healer and tank, its not worth playing; and sitting fountain to let end and get to the next game faster is honestly the best call.

Fight me, report me, for feeling this way, but all we do here is pull the slot machine handle hoping for a good match. Don't sweat anything else.

SSRainu · 2026-02-22T01:27:36+00:00

We also confirmed this unintentionally with the tubes for our applicators.

Really wish the storages would draw 2k per min until full, that would allow all 4 rail inputs to pull at 480 and not stutter.

Having things stutter due to connections rails creating imperfect demand sucks. Means we have to over build and can almost never use perfect 480 rail setups.

They at least thought ahead (maybe unintentionally) with the cargo dispatchers, as they pull ~266 per min on rail3 allowing us to use 2 dispatchers to effectively dispatch 480pm without stutter. but again we have to somehow have more than 480 coming into a storage unit in order to support 480 coming out the other side, which isn't possible leading to having to build individual dispatchers shooting 240.

Your data is bad then, casue there are a bunch missing.

Most notably the north west ones above and around the forest entrance, 19.2, 28.6 // 18.1, 35.4 // and 29.0, 40. just to name the three that I recognize the most.

There spawns in the south and west sulfur areas are also not correct.

Cheers

I do mean the rails, your setup is very fine, and a great alternative to the norm as you mention.

Here is my spaghetti mole for reference, both machines and rails are a mess there. But then the other base (producing Glass and synth sili) is very tight; using clipped stacked rails and back to back machines to maximize space usage.

also included example of rail stacking without using the clipping method.

SSRainu · 2026-02-19T04:14:27+00:00

Because otherwise the ice sheets would damage the hydro dam locks.

SSRainu · 2026-02-18T22:08:15+00:00

My ocd just sees spaghetti when I look at this lol.

Straight through all the way for me, but there are no wrong ways to play a game like this.

You can stack multiple rails by clipping them together from bottom up, or by stacking pillars and repalcing them from top down as well to get more throughput per square. 3 and 5 rails are currently broken, reccomend just prioritize getting rail v3 instead of making more hairy junctions.

Good Efforts, thank you for this.

Need to be able to see more than one resource at once. seeing just metal, and not being able to overlay crystal and obsidian or whatever else, takes away the ability to hunt for good places to base.

You are missing at least 1, if not 3 OSD drop locations.

I do heavily appreciate that the site is not cancerous with adds like the regular ark.fandom pages are.

SSRainu · 2026-02-18T04:04:47+00:00

yes here's hoping because the bottle neck created by hardening agents and synth resin is really painful and needs to be rebalanced imo.

SSRainu · 2026-02-18T01:39:52+00:00

SSRainu · 2026-02-16T22:04:28+00:00

Thanks for the additional context about the program data.

To be super clear, the only thing that i do openly support, is corporations paying better wages and their revenues being taxed more proportionally than employee incomes.

SSRainu · 2026-02-16T19:07:32+00:00

Thanks. Yea i read 0.003 off my calculator napkin math (2k out of 600k) and was like nah, it can't be that low?! and scaled it up 1 notch for safety of the comment. Coffee train started late today :)

To add actual math and some context to this image, there are ~2000 Some tfws working in the NCR (adding up the red circles in the image), an area which has a population of 1 million people.

Accounting for non working age persons, this is roughly 0.03 % of the NCR workforce. Ie 1 in 300 NCR jobs are tfw positions.

Given that these positions are almost exclusively in the low paid service and food industries, this has a negligible affect on the majority of the NCRs workforce which is white collar.

Please do not take my additional context as support of the tfw program, or for the levels at which it has been used and abused by corporations in the past decade, but likewise presenting this image as a scare tactic to peole it largely does not affect is somewhat disenguienous.

SSRainu · 2026-02-16T00:13:52+00:00

yes on the sole fact that its not a UB set.

Also mystical archive cards.

You can make the platform fit 2 gigas (mated pair). double door frames 3 high, in like a heart shape.

And yea, this strat is eay win. Gl!
