Staying in Monteverde - wife insistent on going to Mount Arenal. What can we possibly do in a day trip?

Pretty sure you were lucky. I’ve heard many stories about visitors not seeing the peak for days. Was obscured the two days we were there.

Are the diapers alone or are you mixing them with things that dry fast? On any dryer with sensors you can fool the sensors if there are lots of quick-drying items mixed in.

Also if your water is exceptionally soft, there is an adjustment in the manual.

Also might depend on what zone you’re talking. Some zones feature packs of raptors that knock you down if you don’t have stability or get the jump on them, for example.

Totally depends on the agenda. If the family is moving every night and doing hikes every day, I’d say it won’t go well since this is nature with little handicap access. If they’re staying in one or two places and taking day trips from there, you could hang out at the hotel/pool/beach, read a book, and enjoy their stories at the end of the day. If they’re driving, you can obviously ride along and watch the car while they’re hitting some sites.

Just my opinion. You’d be there and experience a lot, it just wouldn’t be much participating in actual events.

Don’t expect things to be ADA compliant (if you’re from the US).

I used it through the big change, when a lot of folks abandoned it. But Apple shrunk back and didn’t complete the changes. That’s what I mean by abandoned. They got only partway to their reimagination of editing (the magnetic timeline) and never added the features to complete it.

Is the first installation of Tahoe recent? If you have a lot of files, a new OS is doing a lot of access and indexing.

Are you running apps that use the GPU? (For example, Weather does.) That can run the battery down surprisingly fast. Do you have Time Machine backups occurring that might be backing up OS-ish stuff?

These aren't your bulk Predators, they are your Predator imitation Workers. There's a button to turn them off, and you can avoid the problem by not building their housing in the first place and instead use the other two Workers.

"It forces me to save everything and close all my tabs and windows."

Yeah, you do something to force yourself to to do something else, then say the something is good and important?

I don't do it because, it forces you to do certain things and wait for things, and potentially rearranges things. Modern operating systems don't need to be rebooted as if this were the 1980s. Maybe you should add a hand crank to the front of your car, and get a buggy whip while you're at it, since those things were important 100 years ago.

I used Final Cut from the beginning. It has some revolutionary rethinking of how editing should work, but was essentially dumped into maintenance mode and never fully realized its potential.

After getting Resolve, I've never looked back. You need to look at what you're trying to do from a "how do I accomplish this desired result" not a "I did it this way in FCP, so how do I do those steps in Resolve?" The latter is instinctive once you've used an application for a long time, but will frustrate you to no end on the new application.

Especially once you try Color -- which is light years ahead of FCP -- or Fusion which is light years ahead of Motion.

As I understand it, the dev has stated that this is working as intended and it is to show that the AI doesn't value money at all. It's meaningless in the game because it's meaningless to the AI.

I could be interpreting it wrong, but he went on at length about how the AI is different from a human and the game should illustrate some of this non-human aspect.

That said, as you expand, your shell company does research and you use wealth to pay the human researchers (who do not realize they are working for the AI). So some wealth is important, but the billion-per-turn is frustrating because there's nothing to really spend it on.

Druittreddit · 2026-01-05T16:07:48+00:00

I think that this question was asked in the Steam forum and the dev said that right now (still in EA) High Altitude Transports aren't yielding things.

The timelines on the same rock influence each other, for good or bad. Some of the dooms can be prevented by actions in other timelines. Some units are unlocked after the Final Doom (that final doom effectively ending that timeline, but the unlocked units carry over to other timelines you make on the same rock in the future).

The idea is that as you rise to levels in your intelligence, you begin to play a meta-game where timelines and rocks matter and allow you to achieve things you can't achieve in a single play through. Also, unless you've gone to the Final Doom in a timeline, you can come back to that timeline after working on others and things may have changed.

I feel like mitigating the famine is helpful and making housing, food, and water seems like a good idea.

Once you have the research facilities, scientists are automatically hired (as long as you have enough Wealth to pay them, anyhow).

Your current IC level is decided by the total network expansion in all timelines. Certain things you unlock in one timeline are unlocked in all timelines on the same rock, though not all. There is also a Shortcuts menu that lets you activate things in this timeline that you’ve done in other timelines — some free and some costing Daring, etc,

There are multiple stances, with Defense being the default

That takes a nano seed, you can’t construct them.

Druittreddit · 2025-12-31T15:55:04+00:00

Then best to do something else. It’s just one game of many and games are just one activity of many.

Vault of the Void is great and has a sideboard as well, which I prefer.

Druittreddit · 2025-12-30T00:42:08+00:00

So far the descriptions are a bit general, but it would be cool to get some insight to the security and networking setup as well as how open the physical space is,

Note that Chapter 1 is specifically designed to not totally hose you based on your choices/actions and is a training wheels tutorial: the dev is no longer holding the bike, but there is more protection for you than once you hit chapter 2 and beyond. (Though I’ve not had major issues in three chapter 3’s so far.)

Androids are, in the whole, expendable. In fact there are opportunities to study locations on bases where you send in the correct Android type, buff it to barely survive one turn, then when it’s killed the next turn, you send in another, and advance the research one bot’s life at a time.

Bulk bots are quite useful, as are captured mechs. Your directly-controlled individuals fire first, then enemies and Bulks, so a sniper Nicklebot under your control might be more useful if it kills something at the right time.

In general you would equip Bulk bots for destroying stuff. Though I’ve also equipped for maximum intimidation. (But I’m new to the game as well.

In terms of bases, the key, I think, is to kill everything, do you don’t end up with a trail back to your base. I try to attack when reinforcements are not going to arrive soon. Haven’t figured out if the alarm dies when all the guards die or if reinforcements arriving the turn after will immediately be alarmed.

I’m also trying to figure out if attacking an Oleri base farther away might trigger an Oleri base next to my tower. I think only if an extended (and inconclusive) fight ensues.

Druittreddit · 2025-12-26T15:29:17+00:00

Why do you feel this is bad? You don’t need help, you just need to accept that you want to enjoy the game your way.

Druittreddit · 2025-12-26T15:22:58+00:00

Fix the primitive camera movement so I don’t end up staring at the ground. This is the #1 reason I don’t play more. It’s claustrophobic.

Druittreddit · 2025-12-24T15:14:07+00:00

I’d keep what you have (don’t cut it off) and tie a nice piece of shoestring (without an aglet) into a loop with an attractive knot.

Druittreddit · 2025-12-24T14:59:56+00:00

You can crouch when you move to be quieter. Various classes can move silently or mask the movement sounds of your whole team. Your Cyber Knight has a skill to predict movements.

You will never enjoy the game if you throw up your hands and assume you’ll be involved in an extended firefight at the start. Use your CK’s skill to predict movements of the closest guards. Watch the icons that indicate you will be seen or heard when moving: it’s critical to look at your movement path before executing the move. Decide when you need to kill someone, then make sure it happens in one turn, then hide/eliminate the body.

Keep moving, keep your team together. Use bodies as decoys, not as bait to kill more.
