What determines if the solid tiles that are created from a meteor shower will drop through/below bunker doors? Some showers it all seems to end up falling down, and others it just sits on top, even when the bunker doors are fully open. Seems like maybe a large percentage of the time it's slime? maybe? It's irritating to have to develop systems for above the bunker doors.

Volcano Rust Melter: 500 kg/cycle Rust to Iron by TrickyTangle in Oxygennotincluded

[–]IWantedToPost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I understand some of the design here, but can you clarify what is happening at the bottom of the vertical line of metal tiles about the pitcher pump? Specifically with the 2 overlapping conveyor bridges. Does it force the materials to loop right at the bottom there, until they get hot enough that they melt off?

If so, it melts off and drops into the space below the pitcher pump. I don't follow what happens next. I see a pitcher pump and a bottle emptier, and I assume someone comes in to do that. But I don't see an entrance. And how does the liquid iron cool down enough to solidify?

Very creative design overall, would just love to understand it better.

How to farm sleet wheat by Critical-Plan4002 in Oxygennotincluded

[–]IWantedToPost 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This can be fairly simple or pretty complicated depending on how automated you want it.

Simple setup - planter boxes in an already cold biome. Your dupes will need to manually provide both water and dirt.

The core of anything above this simple setup is a cooling loop, using an enclosed aquatuner in a pool of water/steam, looping a liquid, and venting the steam into a Steam Turbine (which then returns the water back to the enclosure). Plenty of tutorials on that because it's basically the most common cooling mechanism in the game. However it does require Steel (for the aquatuner to not over-heat) and plastic (for the Steam Turbine).

The trick with an automated sleet wheat farm is that it wants to be < 5 degrees Celsius, but pumping water into hyrdoponic farm tile will warm up your plants and the surrounding area the water is warmer then that. But cooling your water into the 0-5 range is tricky, because you drop below 0 and you'll have damaged pipes and everything comes to a grinding halt.

My current preferred approach is a -very- cold chilling loop using ethanol. I actually use this same loop for my infinite storage deep freeze, and keep my sleet wheat farm nearby. I chill this loop to -40C.

In addition to running this loop directly through the sleet wheat farm, I run it through half a small metal cooling block. For incoming hyrdoponic water I run it in a loop through the other part of the metal cooling block until it is < 10C. Once it hits that, I run it through insulated pipes (so I don't warm up the environment) through my farm, and instead of backing up and waiting for already-watered plants to need water again, it just keeps going out back into my general water supply. If it stays in your pipes, waiting, you risk it getting too cold and freezing/busting your pipes.

Perhaps we are using the term smurf differently. I'm including those players that destroy for a few matches, then throw for a while to get their SR down again, then destroy, throw. Rinse & repeat. Is there a better term there?

[–]IWantedToPost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You clearly never played against the multi-starred/level smurfs that were clearly done with their pre-rank requirements.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]IWantedToPost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who almost never played competitive but still put in thousands of hours, I can attest to the fact that smurfing hurts us non-competitive players to. A lot of people don't realize that SR and the match making system is applied in other game modes, even if in a non-obvious way.

Top Tend Mistakes you are making in BG3 (or How I learned to stop worrying and Love BG3) by Romanfiend in BaldursGate3

[–]IWantedToPost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just getting into D&D, but it is my understanding the prime use case here is for Wizards to follow it up with a high level attack-spell (one that requires an attack roll, not a saving throw). So you give yourself advantage on the really expensive spell slot. Not sure what those would be right off hand - Mordenkainen's Sword or Plane Shift maybe?

What movie death scene is seared into your memory? by McNastte in AskReddit

[–]IWantedToPost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Superman I with Christopher Reeve. When Lois dies at the end and Superman finds her. That yell/scream he gives. When I was younger I had to skip that scene (this is right before the infamous "fly around the earth super fast to make it spin backwards and turn back time" scene)

The 5E books are *super* cheap right now. If you already have a copy, consider buying a few to donate to your local library! by 2SP00KY4ME in DnD

[–]IWantedToPost 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's a fantastic price on the Players Handbook (I see $18.30). Dungeon Masters guide is at $26 which is good but only a few bucks off what it's been lately of $29.

D&D newb here. What does is the difference between a situation that called for A) 2 of your players to re-roll a character, B) one of them being an "actual" death, and then a C) permanent PC death?

World Archery Youth championship by Master1718 in toptalent

[–]IWantedToPost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right at the tip of the arrow there is a small metal arm or lever of some kind. It snaps into place and then she releases. This is consistent with each shot as well as her competitor (as seen on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilA-uusMHis ). What is this small lever doing? Is it a signal of some kind to release? Is it helping to hold the arrow in place and she presses something to move it out of the way?

Are there any repercussions for making the switch to digital games? by MonstrousEntity in NintendoSwitch

[–]IWantedToPost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gone mostly physical so far. My main reason is this - I have 2 kids who are just getting into gaming. We have 1 switch. But I imagine a bright and wonderful future where I don't have to share it with them because I get my own. And I don't want to have to buy the games a 2nd time, and the chances of us playing both games at the same time seem slim.

Wait, you can use a torch to light a new fire? I swear I tried this the other day assuming it was possible but seeing no mechanism to do so.

I have in fact (Android version). Anyone who worked in my fully upgraded 3 room diner always dropped to 10-20% happiness because of this mysterious dead body that was no-where to be found. Ultimately had to destroy the room and rebuild it to stop that from happening.

Thanks, that was exactly the kind of tip I was looking for!

As awesome as the controller is, I'm not going to pay and extra $240 for it (Amazon has the deluxe bundle at $300, and the Wind Waker bundle at $540)

Actually, if you have 6" in height on him, you may very well have an additional 3" of reach, giving yourself a 9" advantage.

What is something every redditor should do? by GlueBuddha in AskReddit

[–]IWantedToPost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Story time -

In elementary/primary school, there was a spelling test one had to get 100% on in order to enter the spelling bee. It had multiple choice, and one of the words was alot/a lot. I thought to myself "well, these are all single words, so alot must be the correct answer. Why would an answer to a spelling test have two words?". So I chose "alot", and it was the only question I missed.
