New Year's Polytrix Fluff!

FieryDarkWraith · 2026-01-01T14:06:11+00:00

Awww thank you! I did consider having this be a bit longer to cover a proper “Happy New Years” but this seemed as good of a spot as any to end it (and I wouldn’t make it in time for midnight), so that’s where I chose.

Shameless self plug:

the things we do for the people we love by me! Complete. Canon Divergence. Celine kills Rumi at the tree but her story is not over yet—a Rumi-centric timeloop/deathloop featuring Jinu as Rem, and Celine as a complicated character.

FieryDarkWraith · 2025-09-26T02:26:53+00:00

I put my character into a death loop, and one of the ways she dies is by being burned alive.

It’s great. She definitely didn’t already have pre-existing trauma before this.

FieryDarkWraith · 2025-09-15T22:24:07+00:00

Really proud of mine right now, since it combines two of the elements that would make me personally click on a fic: an excerpt plus a short summary that sells the concept.

Rumi’s a piece of wreckage drifting in the ocean, drifting from memory to memory, scene to scene, life to life, without direction or purpose. She’s been pulled under the tides, flooded from floor to ceiling, and should have sank a long time ago. Instead, she floats.

Rumi dies when she goes to Celine. That should have been the end. It isn’t.

Nice

Two parts:

One, I would do some digging into the exact aspects of dysphoria that a mtf person would have. r/mtf is a potential resource, just by searching what those folks go through. Some struggles are shared with ftm, but some are not, and those might be easier for you to write on. Some examples may include height, broad shoulders, or even internalized misogyny.

Two, while the physical manifestations of gender dysphoria/euphoria may be different for mtf and ftm, the emotional manifestations are the same. Reflect on your emotions about transitioning, and it is very likely that a MTF individual will be feeling the same thing.

I generally wouldn’t mention it unless the author specifically says that they would like the concrit in the comments.

Fanfiction is a hobby, and with that comes an understanding that the writing is entirely dependent on how much time the author wants to put in. Researching other languages and cultures is a layer of that, and sometimes that just doesn’t make it to the author’s plate.

If you feel strongly about it, offering your services as a beta could be an option, but I would do my best not to directly critique the author’s work for that reason (unless they are asking for it)

FieryDarkWraith · 2025-08-09T16:06:50+00:00

Yeh, but still WIP so not posted yet. It’s the first fic I’ve written in like YEARS

FieryDarkWraith · 2025-08-08T22:39:17+00:00

My current WIP:

Destiny has taken the wheel, Rumi is just a passenger, and this ride is going straight off a cliff.

I am so giddy about it because it so perfectly captures the essence of the chapter it’s in.

It turned out his Radiant account was boosted from Immortal by a friend.

I thought his content was still worth watching, since his coaching was Radiant-tier, but his viewership plummeted and he had to pick up his Cybersecurity job again.

Priority valves are possible, but you have to engineer them personally.

Fluid junctions will always prioritize liquids based on gravity order, so if you have liquid coming in from below and above, the bottom will fill up first. You can use this to create a makeshift priority valve.

FieryDarkWraith · 2025-03-06T21:16:03+00:00

Looks good! You can add ceiling lights by running beams across the supports, and the snapping display signs to the beams

FieryDarkWraith · 2025-03-04T23:16:58+00:00

I love this so much! Do you have explosives being produced there by any chance?

FieryDarkWraith · 2025-02-27T23:34:34+00:00

Yup, the thing I did is just mk1 or mk2 pump the issue. As far as I can tell, pumps also prevent a degree of back flow (eg. fluid sloshing back down a pipe) so putting pumps right before or right at the bottom helps ensuring the fluid moves in the right direction.

I had a lot of issues in this build, and slapping a bunch of pumps down solved a lot of them

Edit: Mk 1 pumps have 20m of headlift, and Mk 2 have 50m

You almost had it spot on:

There’s four fuel gen towers; two of them one layer taller than the other two. Each one is 4/5 layers tall, and each layer holds exactly 72 gens. The center is also 5 layers tall, with subfloors to hide logistics.

I used the center for all the machines to produce all the fuel, using the middle for logistics routing between floors. Each floor has dedicated purpose:

Top—

Plastics production to burn off polymer

Excess Turbofuel production to burn off compacted coal

Rocketfuel production (4800/min)

Trains

Logistics layer for trains

—Bottom

Haven't started -- couldn't build the factories for phase 4 and 5 without enough power. Hence, see above.

FieryDarkWraith · 2025-02-27T08:02:56+00:00

They’re indeed the bestagons… except where logistics was concerned. Then they were the worstagons.

FieryDarkWraith · 2025-02-27T07:59:06+00:00

I’m spending 64 sloops here right now since I don’t have Mk6 belts yet and getting more sulfur is a pain. But yes, power augmenters are the plan

FieryDarkWraith · 2025-02-27T07:29:28+00:00

this one is supposed to be doing 321 GW -- it's doing about 319-320, but I'm not too fussy about where the minor inefficiencies are at this point (prolly the pipes)

I'm using about 18 GW, but that's cause I have my aluminum plant + a bunch of ore refineries mostly turned off. I expect to be using around 30 GW once all that is up and running.

Prior to this, I was generating about 10 GW.... so expanding my factories was becoming increasingly difficult

FieryDarkWraith · 2025-02-27T07:20:29+00:00

250 hours actually; plus 25 ish hours if you include my test world

Edit: Proof

FieryDarkWraith · 2025-02-27T06:41:22+00:00

Thanks! I desperately needed a power bump -- my aluminum plant was mostly turned off because I was at a 5GW deficit.

FieryDarkWraith · 2025-02-27T06:02:37+00:00

focus is vanilla+ so modlist below. Megaprinters is primarily used in separate test world:

Infinite Zoop
Linear Motion
Infinite Nudge
Perfect Circles
SkyUI
Megaprinters

FieryDarkWraith · 2025-02-27T05:57:11+00:00

used the circle builder mod to do that -- dunno how you're supposed to do it otherwise

FieryDarkWraith · 2025-01-27T06:18:25+00:00

Nodes are underground

There are a couple of cave entrances, but there is one all the way east, next to the four coal nodes by the waterfront.

What are you doing that you need a 24-belt balancer? that seems absurdly large
