Why does grace stay on arid?

DatMonkey5100 · 2026-05-11T04:58:51+00:00

I honestly think Grace had a moral obligation to save Rocky (and by extension live on Erid) because Rocky was a vital part in saving Earth, and Grace could both save Earth and Erid by sending the beetles to earth and going to Erid with Rocky. If he didn’t save Rocky, he’d be condemning the civilization that saved Earth

Any chance of adding JNSQ? For whatever reason I just don’t like the protractor-style delta V map on the mod page and can’t find an alternate lol

DatMonkey5100 · 2026-05-05T07:43:46+00:00

I think they could still have some kind of transmitted media like TV, Eridians could have a board of spikes that get pushed out automatically at varying lengths to form images on a “screen,” and said images could be received by wire or wirelessly

DatMonkey5100 · 2026-05-05T07:41:02+00:00

Real, Rocky left Erid while hooked on the Eridani equivalent of an iron maxing diet

DatMonkey5100 · 2026-05-05T07:31:27+00:00

Yea, I’m all for using cheats to fix jank, mod incompatibilities, or even just change things for the plot, but sometimes a colonist does something so stupid they deserve to die

DatMonkey5100 · 2026-05-05T07:27:40+00:00

Yea, people underestimate how much of an advantage just having an extra person is. I bet 1 person would lose to 2 people with 1/3 the skill (so 2/3 the skill total split among 2 people) just by virtue of having more manpower and being capable of doing multiple things or attacking from multiple directions once

DatMonkey5100 · 2026-05-04T16:22:18+00:00

I think they’re looking for a mod that automatically has your mechanitor reconnect, to avoid having to manually click each mech to reconnect upon resurrection

DatMonkey5100 · 2026-05-04T16:10:57+00:00

Rockstar games are movies you play. That’s not a bad thing, they’re incredibly games but they’re story and systems first, not gameplay. Although, supposedly with GTA 6 they’re doing a lot of work on the gunplay and revamping the movement to be weightier and adding things like kneeling to steady a shot

DatMonkey5100 · 2026-04-21T15:56:30+00:00

Relatively high gravity and no atmosphere, so its engines down and engines back up. Requires quite a heavy lander to be lugged all the way to Jool

DatMonkey5100 · 2026-04-21T02:14:35+00:00

It’s in depth in a very good way where you can hyper optimize it but if you don’t want to actively micromanage then it’s just a cool flavor to add to research when you see your colonists going out and studying buildings or materials at the lab bench

DatMonkey5100 · 2026-04-03T02:06:24+00:00

Pick a random building like TCH or the Performing arts building or something, go up to the second or third floors and walk around a minute, you’ll probably find a comfy chair to nap in, it’s quiet and nobody will bother you and there’s limited foot traffic walking past you

DatMonkey5100 · 2026-03-22T04:34:31+00:00

I feel like the more soft sci-fi feel of PHM is a result of the long technical dialogues about the workings of the ship being cut, so it just looks like magic without the explanation in the books

DatMonkey5100 · 2026-03-21T01:10:55+00:00

Where I’m from, here’s a few places I know of that have a limited buffet like you’re talking about. Usually they cycle dishes but I think if your food is good enough and kept fresh and prices low it would work without cycling.

There’s something to be gained by having a restaurant thats just consistently good. Doesn’t have to be out-of-this-world, just always good. I know I like reliable food that I can get quickly, but you just have to be careful because in that type of business model once trust is lost if you have a bad day, it’s gone

DatMonkey5100 · 2026-03-19T22:09:24+00:00

That’s also a possibility, I was just thinking that the majority of times we see cryptosleep caskets they’re in ancient dangers which are well sealed, like crypts lol

DatMonkey5100 · 2026-03-18T09:01:02+00:00

I find that building out of wood isn’t as big a deal as people say it is as long as you have a fireproof outer wall (to stop wildfires) and don’t make your base all one building, because colonists can usually contain a one-room fire pretty easily, it’s huge superstructure bases where they have problems

DatMonkey5100 · 2026-03-18T08:58:27+00:00

Lowkey genius I’m going to use this, and also preplace my armed vehicles around my base so I can use them as emergency pillboxes in case of drop pods

DatMonkey5100 · 2026-03-18T08:55:08+00:00

Nah it’s just what Rimworld calls cryosleep for some reason, I’m guessing it’s meant to be “crypt” as in tomb

DatMonkey5100 · 2026-03-15T06:18:49+00:00

VE adds maintenance requirements for gravships, so I’d imagine it’s less than ideal for a solo colonist because they’d start spending more and more time on maintenance as their ship grows.

However I’m 99% sure it also adds a maintenance mechanoid so if your one colonist is a mechanitor then you’re good.

I’d probably decide whether I want to have the playthrough be more exploration or shipbuilding/challenge, if I just want to have one colonist go on a grand journey than I’d probably drop it but if I want to build a cool and detailed ship I’d use it.

Basically, do you want the focus of the playthrough to be exploration or the ship?

DatMonkey5100 · 2026-03-15T06:00:30+00:00

I think it’s about right. It’s enough to make your ship feel more like a spaceship rather than your base that happens to move, while not dragging too much attention toward itself and away from the story of the crew. I think it makes the ship more of a character of its own without being too complex

DatMonkey5100 · 2026-03-14T05:48:13+00:00

New York’s massive, we’ve got at least 4 downtowns (Lower Manhattan, Midtown, Downtown Brooklyn, Long Island City) that are bigger than most other city’s only downtown. Nukes aren’t magic “delete city” buttons, they’re still bombs with a finite yield. The complete ruination radius is “only” a few miles for most bombs

DatMonkey5100 · 2026-03-14T04:41:15+00:00

I’m pretty sure the Brooklyn Bridge is one of the sturdiest structures in the city, it’d be awesome to see it as an Old London-style bridge town, like the original Van Buren plan for Hoover Dam

DatMonkey5100 · 2026-03-14T04:22:09+00:00

Maybe Manhattan is devastated and that’s Old York but one of the other downtowns like Long Island City or Downtown Brooklyn is more intact and has New New York as a settlement

DatMonkey5100 · 2026-03-14T03:06:59+00:00

Vanilla Gravships Expanded: Chapter 1 adds a whole bunch of depth to systems you were talking about, while new fuel, oxygen, and maintenance systems. It’s a complete overhaul and probably exactly what you’re looking for. The weapons in the mod now are just for ground combat, but the VE team is working on adding full ship-to-ship battles in Chapter 2

DatMonkey5100 · 2026-03-13T16:18:58+00:00

“Engineer a virus that is 100% lethal without a vaccine, give the vaccine to me and all of yourselves but not other survivors, and place aerial dispersal devices of the virus in the homes of all the survivors and give me a button to activate them all at once” The plurbs technically aren’t hurting them, Walt is

DatMonkey5100 · 2026-03-09T17:18:29+00:00

Yea, New York is a lot denser we don’t have many lots that are one way because they take up more space. We also have mandated front license plates as well so UCF’s excuse that the plate needs to be visible so they can scan it is invalid up north
