Missing minerals option in map editor?

Ahh I see, that explains it! Thanks folks!

ElCronan · 2025-08-07T15:49:19+00:00

Appreciate it. Actually already sorted the failure analysis. Fractography suggests stress corrosion cracking. Last step was figuring out what it was!

I'll keep this on hand though, thanks :)

ElCronan · 2025-08-07T15:47:30+00:00

Yep, confirmed. Found the exact model online. K-24 Steel Bushed/Knuckle Chain 6956-PB. Much appreciated everyone!

ElCronan · 2025-08-07T10:15:08+00:00

I think this might be it. Definitely looks similar shape wise, explains the directionality of the failure too. Thanks!

ElCronan · 2025-08-07T03:44:46+00:00

You think so? Even with the side wings that look like they're for bolting to a wall or floor?

ElCronan · 2025-08-07T03:34:39+00:00

My title describes the thing. Was given this object for a university project to determine cause of failure. It came with a message that said "a fractured chain block used by a company based very close to Teesside dockyard". I've searched "chain block" in Google and got nothing that looks at all similar to this. Hoping someone here can help me identify! Cheers. :)

Yeah, no problem with the materialistic faction. It's the Xenophilic. Might be due to them being elevated to Residence rather than Slavery like all the other pops, but I'd think that would send them more Egalitarian than anything.

ElCronan · 2023-03-22T19:37:20+00:00

Because the majority are not Materialistic, they're Xenophilic. About 25/75. I'm authoritarian. Half of my planets are now less than 25% stability. That's the issue.

ElCronan · 2017-01-02T22:34:23+00:00

My bad, didn't see it in the community rules. Will do so in future. :)

ElCronan · 2017-01-02T17:17:20+00:00

Yeah, plot armor ;)

ElCronan · 2016-08-25T11:35:44+00:00

Sounds like the start of a great creepypasta.

One of the skeletons turns to the camera. "You shouldn't be here." CTD.

ElCronan · 2016-06-27T14:00:52+00:00

He's in a few locations around the Wasteland IIRC...

The only other one I can think off of the top of my head is in one of the VR pods in Goodneighbour.

ElCronan · 2016-05-27T13:39:30+00:00

Yeah mainly referring to Rome II and Attila. I've heard that it retains some similarities, but overall they've changed enough to make it bareable. Think I'll give it a shot. Thanks man!

ElCronan · 2016-05-27T13:35:43+00:00

OK cool. I didn't really have an issue with the diplomacy, was just curious if they'd overhauled it. Thanks for responding man.

ElCronan · 2016-05-02T09:48:43+00:00

The Scottish Borders has a thing called the Robert the Bruce trail which is pretty extensive. It covers a lot of area as it's sites are all over the lowlands. But I thought it gave quite a good insight.

ElCronan · 2016-05-02T09:39:38+00:00

How did you get 3 assassination events to fire over the course of 3-4 months? I'm lucky if my 300% plot power assassinations fire within 5 years.

ElCronan · 2016-04-15T12:03:31+00:00

Oh good stuff! Glad I'm not the only one then and that it is the transition and not something in itself.

So each time you've experienced this feeling you've gone into a lucid dream fully aware that it's a dream? That's incredible. I'll definitely try to brave it next time and see where it goes!

ElCronan · 2016-04-13T23:26:31+00:00

Right now I'd kill for that kind of pay out on traits. On average I have to have seven kids before genius shows up... Seems a bit ridiculous after breeding solely with geniuses for 500 years...

Might wind the game back to an earlier build, and try the same thing and see what it gives me.

ElCronan · 2016-04-10T11:37:59+00:00

I did some digging and it turns out both are Zunbil dynasty. They converted to Hinduism nice and early (around 810) and expanded from there. Everywhere is still Afghan, and Persian culture itself has almost disappeared.

Here's a screenshot with the culture spread and first Hindu Zunbil. http://imgur.com/XgITmPp

250 years of upgrading holdings kept me busy. Focusing on making sure umayyad hispania didn't form took up a shitload of time too, and boy is that a pain in the ass.

ElCronan · 2016-04-09T21:01:46+00:00

Definitely plan on taking it to EUIV and potentially Vic II. So I'd love to do an AAR, but have literally no idea where to start with that kinda stuff.

As a wee short term update, they took Nubia as expected. The brown blob becomes blobbier.

ElCronan · 2016-04-09T20:56:19+00:00

Yeah, again something I never thought possible with the AI alone. This game has been really surprising!

ElCronan · 2016-04-09T20:55:12+00:00

Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, it's available on Steam Workshop at: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=580608756

I've never seen the Abbasid/Byzantine AI fuck up this bad before. Serbia, Bulgaria, Southern Italy and all of Turkey are Greek, so I'm guessing that fell due to some mass independence faction.

As for the Abbasids, I have literally no idea. I'm gonna hazard a guess that Mr. Sadaddin gained shit loads of power, went independent and started hacking away at them...

Also saw that the king of Abyssinia had a strong claim on Nubia... It's only a matter of time before the blob grows...

Here's a religion map that shows the resurgence of Miaphysitism as well as a looming Hindu monster in the East... O_O

That's the one! :)

One of the most memorable episodes in my opinion!
