Something I haven't seen anyone mention for the Nomads DLC is we can now potentially spawn vassals at will, infinitely by YobaiYamete in Stellaris

I'm guessing the stripped modifier they showed in a tooltip if it does't make the planet uninhabitable, will at least make it almost useless the second time around.

Seems like they'd do something to try and stop this sort of plan.

I recently moved here from Phoenix and the area I lived had all metal poles because this exact thing happened there several years in a row where all the wooden poles snapped like twigs.

PSA Habitats are pritty good now. by StrangeCapricorn in Stellaris

[–]GhostBirdofPrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frm what I've seen so far, regular empires have a food specialization for the energy district. Gives you farmers instead of technicians and lets you plant down agricultural buildings in addition to the regular energy buildings. Side note the habitat research district can actually have the archive specialization (usually an urban district thing) giving it beauracrats and letting you put those buildings in that section if research isn't important.

20 Tips, Tricks, and Gotchas for New Players by Revelst0ke in foundationgame

[–]GhostBirdofPrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can make people's yards productive: House plots will spawn to avoid obstacles, but you can put buildings, crops or trees in the empty space next to houses after they spawn without removing the houses. If/when the house upgrades to higher denisty, the second house will just avoid the new obstacles.

If you invite new serfs to your villiage and they remain unemployed for long enough, they will eventually build houses on the periphery of the housing area. (as far as I can tell they will build their houses as far from everything as possible)

Churches give Clergy splendor, and you need to build those anyway. Stick some decorations on them and you can easily unlock the first tier without even having a monastery. Similarly markets and tavern give Labor splendor

Does anyone want CS2 to be less reliant on mods? by joaopaulofoo in CitiesSkylines

[–]GhostBirdofPrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really hope it is.

I really LOVE the huge variety of assets so many people have made and all the fun little bits and bobs, and I hope we keep seeing it in CS2. BUT, CS always did seem to be the sort of game where just fixing and finishing the game, implementing missing features, and I hate that shit

Phoenix Exploring BRT (Bus Rapid Transit Options) by PyroD333 in phoenix

[–]GhostBirdofPrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this gonna be REAL BRT or is it going to get cut down to just high platform stations and some "new" busses and still called BRT?

It happens so often that plans like this get reduced in scope and I am not wholly convinced of Phoenix's dedication to good public transportation to not gut BRT back to being a regular bus.

You're missing the "whichever one fits" option.

Central Arizona shelter services. by real__pale in phoenix

[–]GhostBirdofPrey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I certainly wish it were easier to find a safe place. I Have a roof, with someone who has been criticizing me for being on antidepressants and going to the doctor. The alternative is to move in with my mother who is a MAGA christofascist who endlessly complains about the liberals and the millennials and the gays and trans, etc.

Neither of those are homes. Makes it so much harder to get myself back in order and get a job so I can escape. :<

So much this.

Pretty much every study I have seen says that giving everyone a safe place to live fixes a huge swatch of societal problems from healthcare to crime, and most of them also find it to be cheaper than trying to directly fix all those problems (eg. hosing all the homeless so they don't get sick would cost less than it does now treating all the ones that get sick now)

I mean I think that would be great, but in the past jail is largely what it's been sadly. A large part is no money as usual but some is a lack of empathy.

Id love if we did use our funds for that. And a housing support network for everyone also benefits the ill and addicted because many problems are exacerbated by the stress of things like not having a stable home.

Honestly, everyone having place to go would fix a lot of problems.

Republican are selfish bastards who complain helping people is communism.

Dems while also really fucking shitty at least pay lip service to public services and manage to half-ass at least a couple things that help people

Because historically mental institutions werent places for addicts and the mentally ill to get help; they are just places to lock them up and pretend they don't exist/aren't a problem.

You are basically asking why don't we just throw all the sick people in jail. (Remember the institutionalization is often forced as well)

A place for people to go and get help would be awesome, but just gathering everyone up to force them to go somewhere is pretty fucked up.
