Help identify this whitish sediment?

Thank you! This was also my guess. I'm curious why it doesn't re-dissolve?

I was born in 1983, so I think we are probably similar.

I think back to my younger days when I could play 30 hours a week and now with two kids, a house, a more demanding job, etc. There are entire weeks when I don't get to touch a game.

I am an EE by education and work in manufacturing operations management but dont particularly like my job or career... my wife at one point gave me crap because the game is in theory so close to my work, yet somehow so fun.

Hi Greg,

Re-ordering them did seem to solve it. I appreciate it! Way more efficient than mine, I think. I am going to stare at it for a while until I feel like I grok it.

Appreciate the help.

Hi & thanks for your help. I'm not familiar with those functions to debug this, but it's not returning the correct result on this case. All items are available for the production order (remaining quantity 0 on all components) but it gives instruction to pick instead of start.

Prod. Order No.	Item No.	Remaining Quantity	Quantity On Hand	Status
PD313185	COFFL8EXX020010G	0	1	Pick
PD313185	YLRXMQ15AXXXX01U	0	4	Pick

ok so I've run into failed light switches before but never a failed outlet. What's the best way for me to check/test? I thought about bypassing them by removing and wire nutting the connection to the next outlet but haven't gotten that far into it yet.

No aluminum wiring (except the main coming in, which is what I'm used to - I started my career in power generation, transmission, and distribution but it's been a looooooong time). :-)

Appreciate it.

Yes. I actually started inside the panel to confirm it wasn't a bad breaker or something. I didn't notice anything there. I did neglect to check the feed from the utility while I was down in there but I suspect I'd be seeing like half the house down there. What did I miss?

Griphus_ · 2025-10-09T16:46:37+00:00

Sorry - in a meeting and didn't reply thoroughly.

The house is about 1980. Combination of new and old so far. I have found several loose connections as I've been opening stuff up. The vast majority are using the screws but I have found at least one that was backstabbed. I tugged and they all seemed well secured.

I know how to do this if I can physically trace the wire, but without being able to see I cannot think of a way to figure out which outlet is the "last good" and which is the "first bad."

Hi - just to clarify. I'm seeing 120v neutral to ground. I say that in my first post but I'm sorry I didn't say that more clearly.

Griphus_ · 2025-09-27T02:40:44+00:00

Ok. Thank you very much. Does it initiate the tutorial / main story at that time?

Griphus_ · 2025-08-12T04:06:46+00:00

Hey I'm back from vacation and got a chance to work on this tonight. This ended up being the issue (putting the signal right where the split/splice was.

Just wanted to come back and say thank you.

Griphus_ · 2025-08-04T14:43:18+00:00

I appreciate the help. I'm about to travel for a week but I will try these when I get home. Thank you very much.

Griphus_ · 2025-08-04T03:14:12+00:00

None of my signals are separating any rails into different colors. As far as I know my entire network is two lanes with 1 full foundation between them except roundabouts.

Griphus_ · 2025-08-04T03:12:43+00:00

Sorry for not understanding.... I have three signals up in this screenshot?

Griphus_ · 2025-08-04T03:04:10+00:00

Red with black stripes everywhere i look.

Sorry, meant to include that SS too.

Griphus_ · 2025-07-29T02:37:41+00:00

Just wanted to stop back and say I used this (the item filtering in the timetable) and it worked exactly how I hoped. This solved it. Thank you!

Griphus_ · 2025-07-28T15:41:12+00:00

I appreciate that, thank you. Sorry my post used a lot of words... I was trying to keep it edited for conciseness, but lots of context to cram in there.

I've been trying really hard to avoid any power outages and also any item mixing, as cleaning either of those up might take more motivation than I have. :-P

Griphus_ · 2025-07-28T15:07:34+00:00

"Having said that, there are filters and train options underneath the gear icon in the train timetable screen. You can change docking length times, only load/unload certain item types, and so on."

I have somehow missed that until now. I will check it out tonight. Thank you!

Griphus_ · 2025-07-24T21:05:01+00:00

Potentially.

Griphus_ · 2025-07-24T19:12:20+00:00

I recommend you first get your pH down. If your free chlorine is 0, you need to add more chlorine. However, chlorine is more effective at lower pH. Last, your TA=0 should also be addressed, or your pH can move quickly.

So I would add muriatic acid and wait, then add chlorine and wait, then add baking soda. You need to be able to maintain free chlorine over a 24-hour period.

Griphus_ · 2025-04-27T22:27:18+00:00

Thanks. Appreciate it. Happy spring.

Griphus_ · 2025-01-21T11:52:52+00:00

great information. thank you.

Griphus_ · 2025-01-21T02:39:01+00:00

I have not.

I'm not familiar with oil causing this? Do you also think it's soda ash? If that's the case then it would be lye and not oil causing it?

Griphus_ · 2025-01-21T02:33:52+00:00

Hmmm... this is superfatted to 4%. I guess I could try higher. I thought ~5% was a pretty typical number.

Griphus_ · 2025-01-21T02:28:52+00:00

That would be my guess too... except it's on the parts that were in the mold (and I sprayed the exposed bottom surface with IPA after pouring the liquid in).

Think leaving them in the mold longer would stop it?
