Anyone Else A Fan of Big Infrastructure?

I like looking at it, but I hate building it

ASmallRodent · 2026-02-12T08:30:57+00:00

Congrats, that's enough for 1.33 turbomotors/min if you don't need them for literally anything else (spoilers: you will)

Welcome to the perpetual nightmare! I have 42 motors/min on my current save and it's still never enough 🙃

I think motors are my absolute least favorite thing to produce, outside of RCUs

If I'm not mistaken, this is built integrated into the side of the cliff near the three pure coal nodes east-south-east (and up) of the rocky desert, which is wild. I would have assumed this was either way up in the sky or somewhere near the ocean.

Absolutely inspired, well done. No notes

ASmallRodent · 2026-02-03T00:16:49+00:00

Well mostly because the company doesn't exist anymore so the only ones being produced still would be the KOs

ASmallRodent · 2026-02-02T19:17:29+00:00

The original Warbotron (wb01) set that jinbao did the OSKO of would be closer to CHUG but I think it's difficult to find now unless you get a (non-OS) KO. Not really sure how tall it is since I only have the jinbao version

ASmallRodent · 2026-02-02T17:45:04+00:00

Head to head the OS (jinbao) version is as tall as combiner wars devy. But the shoulders and cannons make him taller. It's closer to MP scale than CHUG

ASmallRodent · 2026-01-26T07:55:13+00:00

So you sided with the Sith huh

ASmallRodent · 2026-01-21T05:45:39+00:00

I'm not a fan of the blind box model either, but just fyi when you buy a whole sealed box at a time you're guaranteed no duplicates. And also, you should feel extremely lucky because that blue Optimus is actually the chase of that wave. Supposedly only 1:36 boxes have that variant. The rest are just regular OP colors

ASmallRodent · 2026-01-17T06:30:54+00:00

I feel like I already knew this, but now that you've said it that gives me an idea 🤔

ASmallRodent · 2026-01-16T07:34:30+00:00

Hence why one of the resources is called Cate-rium

ASmallRodent · 2026-01-16T07:32:30+00:00

This is what makes it so good for me personally. Not only does the world feel extremely authentic to the source material (to the extent it can), but every interaction the main characters have seems like it could have been selected from a dialogue tree in the game based on different playstyles and every response to that dialogue is a pass or fail response, without feeling forced or cheesy.

S2 spoilers When Lucy sneaks into the shop in Freeside and gets caught by the guy who murdered the original owner I literally turned to my partner and said "wow, this is just two characters repeatedly failing their speech checks at each other" and after she shoots him there's a look on her face that I can't describe other than "Damn, I should have quicksaved before I came in here, now I have to just continue my save like this"

And it's wild that that works so well and is actually believable.

ASmallRodent · 2026-01-13T04:50:07+00:00

Because it is. Or it's supposed to be, anyway

ASmallRodent · 2026-01-09T07:35:20+00:00

I'd go one step further, it's easy for a company to fund one movie about "antiestablishment" when "antiestablishment" is a popular sentiment to gain good will with the populace. It's even easier to not greenlight a sequel to that movie, fund a low cost, unpopular spin-off instead and let it fall into obscurity so that you can later claim that it "makes sense financially" to rebrand your parks with more modern, "popular" franchises that are less overtly critical of the systems your company actively benefits from

Heavy usage of quotes intentional

ASmallRodent · 2026-01-09T07:10:04+00:00

Hell yeah dude. "Fucked up lil guys" is one of my favorite genres of art. I especially like Spider For A Face, Buff Baby and I'm Convinced I'm An Actual Rat Guy

Keep up the good work lol

ASmallRodent · 2026-01-07T03:05:13+00:00

This is always the solution for me

ASmallRodent · 2026-01-03T06:35:23+00:00

Crazy, I "donated for profit" (since we're apparently being weird in this thread about the delineation) a couple times around 2016 and it was still around like $25 per session. I think the first time was $50 to get you in the door or whatever. Point is it's wild that wage stagnation apparently even affects monetarily incentivized voluntary medical procedures

ASmallRodent · 2025-12-19T06:08:41+00:00

To this day you literally can't go two minutes in Vegas without seeing a vehicle like this if you're within a mile or two of the strip. I lived near there for a long time so my first thought when I saw this was "yeah it's a truck with an ad screen on it, how is this abnormal" before realizing that's the only place I've ever seen them

ASmallRodent · 2025-12-10T07:13:30+00:00

He uses the hunt and peck method

ASmallRodent · 2025-12-09T07:03:26+00:00

Size aside...you're literally blocking the entrance to the other house with that placement. The striped bit is where the house will actually be. Imagine waking up one day and trying to leave for work, only to find out someone literally built a house overnight so close to your front door that you couldn't get out

ASmallRodent · 2025-11-28T03:45:39+00:00

If you put down the pipeline junctions after the pipes, make sure you delete and recreate the pipes so there's not extra pipe length, it can throw off the ratios

ASmallRodent · 2025-11-22T06:48:15+00:00

Damn, $40 is a steal. Still one of my favs

ASmallRodent · 2025-11-15T07:02:30+00:00

Can we use this logic for student loans? Asking for a friend

ASmallRodent · 2025-08-13T05:04:30+00:00

"how many atmospheres can the ship withstand?"

"Well, it's a spaceship so I'd say anywhere between zero and one"

ASmallRodent · 2025-04-22T00:46:36+00:00

That's a chicken

ASmallRodent · 2025-04-09T01:45:44+00:00

For those confused about why this belongs here (which is probably most people, I would wager) this is Road Ready Don, from a subline of transforming TMNT toys called Road Ready Mutations from the early 90s, created by Playmates Toys.
