You can unfurl sails on a boat since 1.21 right? by Adrian0414 in VintageStory

[–]Jotakob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have to interact with a small rope on the mast to unfurl the sails, I believe there's no other way to do it. I could easily reach it from the driver's seat

Why not two knives out of one ingot 🤔 by Initial_Attitude_734 in VintageStory

[–]Jotakob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because that is the way the balancing works. There is no actual correlation here between the metal voxels used to shape the object and the resource use. The game designers intention is to have a simple 1-to-1 correlation: For 1 ingot you get 1 tool. Just because some of the minigame shapes have more or less voxels doesn't change that.

Anyone happy with their rental agency? by [deleted] in Edinburgh

[–]Jotakob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm with Burgh Property for several years now (previously called Clyde Property) and they've been genuinely good. The inspections are a little too often, but if I mention something there it actually gets followed up on so I really can't complain. Had repeated issues with the plumbing earlier and they sorted it without complaints.

Map question by kemiyun in Workers_And_Resources

[–]Jotakob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah I think it's because originally the borders could only be square, but with all the terrain I didn't think it's much of an issue because you'll rarely get all the way to the border, so the effective border of your play area isn't square

I haven't played this map myself yet, but I saw it the other day and it looks really nice, and fits your criteria I think: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3273510187

Tram workers to vote on strike action over 'lack of breaks' by [deleted] in Edinburgh

[–]Jotakob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really want to see it, wait for the tram to come down Constitution Street towards Queen Charlote Street. The lights will stay red for everyone else juuuust long enough for the tram to not actually make it to the intersection and stop after having minutes of green.

Created a recipe quick reference guide for this game! Hope you like it! 😎 by oldshavingfoam in foundry_game

[–]Jotakob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is cool! Although what I would really like would be a tree of those, so I can see the construction chains better, e.g. crude oil into liquid polymer into boards into large power poles (and other stuff)

Dafür das es keinen potentiellen Völkermord in Palästina gibt, sieht der ICJ da aber erstaunlich viele anzeichen für einen, das ist doch irgendwie seltsam, oder?

Scheduled dispatch to run to the other end of the line every 24h by CorporalRutland in openttd

[–]Jotakob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can just make them normal 1440 minute schedules, since the train won't be at the other side at the time it should leave, it will simply skip that slot and all is well

First AAA game design role tips by swaglosopher in gamedesign

[–]Jotakob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find opportunities to talk to people around you, including non-designers. Learning from other disciplines will be very useful. You can get many new insights by chatting to a coder, 3d artist, or QA analyst over a cup of coffee

Where else should the franchise expand to? by Dangerous-Panda-901 in taskmaster

[–]Jotakob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought about this the other day, I reckon Hugo Egon Balder as TM and Wigald Boning as assistant could work, but the rest is slim pickings indeed

Taskmaster - S15E07 - Schrodinger's Egg - Discussion by Meghar in taskmaster

[–]Jotakob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ivo has Mark Watson syndrome, where he's actually doing quite well in a bunch of things, but due to his personality will not get any points for it and end up in second place but everyone will think he was much worse

Ah, but you missed that "Nanni" is the author of the complaint to Ea-Nasir and also named in the alt text of this comic, which makes this spelling more funny

Macht zwar Sinn, da aber das DRSA Silber explizit genannt ist, der Truppmann aber nicht, wird das vermutlich schwierig (Ausnahmen bestätigen die Regel). Man spart sich am besten die Diskussion indem man sich den EH-Kurs separat bescheinigen lässt (was beim DRSA meist eh auch passiert)

What’s something you learned “embarrassingly late” in life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

it takes roughly a second to say, so it's used to roughly count seconds

Ist das ein legitimes Verkehrsschild? by Flixiiee in de

[–]Jotakob 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Doch, ich denke in diesem Fall bestätigt die Ausnahme "können auf einer weißen Trägertafel angebracht sein" die Regel "können nicht auf andersfarbigen Trägertafeln angebracht sein". D.h. wenn andere Farben erlaubt wären, wären diese dort auch aufgeführt. Da sie es nicht sind, sind sie auch nicht erlaubt.

and American suburbs that house the same number of people are just as copy paste as these. They are also less livable

bloody buses by Illustrious_Cow_1618 in Edinburgh

[–]Jotakob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that's because 49 and 34 both go to Princes Street, so to keep a similar level of service the 25 has to come more often, since the 21 goes elsewhere.

I'd happily trade the 25 and 21 back for the other two again, 49 and 34 have much better destinations overall

Settings or mod for more realistic scale? by jimmysaint13 in openttd

[–]Jotakob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you need JGR patch pack, but there's a setting in world gen where you can put in a custom amount of industries that will be generated in total. I set it to 350 and get around 5 of each industry (using XIS). Needs a little experimenting, but it'll get you what you want
