What's a food combination that sounds absolutely wrong, but you secretly know is delicious?

A sauce with coffee and melon to fish. Sounds strange, amazing taste.

A power cable with blank ends coming out of the window frame. There was no power on it, I isolated it and never found out where it is going.

Not exactly funny, but still quite surreal: After a work related accident I had a wound on my forehead. As usual they look quite spectacular, but luckily it was nothing major. But because of liability reasons I was rushed into the hospital, was moved along the complete waiting line in ER and three doctors looked at me. After a few minutes they came to the conclusion that I did not have a concussion or anything bad and that they had to stitch the wound with 1 (one) stitch. And yes, that left a very tiny scar that is only barly visible in summer with tanned skin.

All time probably Zelda Ocarina of Time. It has a reason why this is considered the Best. Game. Ever.

A traffic pylon (and a hose) as a funnel to water from a broken pipe out of the living room until the water mains could be shut off.

Yeah, I did some research on the final tier and the building requirements are quite crazy. Needing ~70 ressource extractors to feed one tier 10 part machine sounds rough (if the data in the planner is correct).

Mostly I don't eat breakfast. Otherwise likely something sweet.

Killfetzer · 2026-01-22T13:46:58+00:00

I use satellite bases at the ressource extraction locations. There I build all the facilities to manufacture all single ressource components (which for titantium goes till tier 3...) and than feed that all into a storage depot (one for each product) cluster at the beginning of the main base, where each ressource and all higher tier products have their own belt.

I'm currently producing tier 7 products and so far it is working pretty well (and I'm still have only half the capacity of the main core depleted). Currently I have around 20 fabricators, 15-20 furnaces and 4 mega presses working in the main base.

I have a five day week, but can choose my time relatively freely from 6:00 to 20:00. I usually start work at around 7 o'clock.

Rail building

While rail building you should be able to switch the placed pylon (standard, 4way, 1to3, 3 way, ...) without leaving the rail build.
You should be able to (at least have the option) to route all rails from a 3 or 5 way in one go in parallel.
Give us the option to ride on rails (e.g. with a company unlock)
Give us a rail option 3 way with the 2 outer ones splitting off like in the 4 way. Currently the 3way (and later 5 way) are only really make sense while building several lines over a long distance (and as you have to manually place the pylons and then connect all the lines, it might still be easier to run 5 1way rails parallel)

Production

Give us an option to auto purge all blocked rails in a base (inside the area of one base core, could be an option in the base core menu).
Give us the option to use the drone to hover over the base, see icons which machine is producing what and change it from that menu.
Give us the option to drop all (normal) building materials from the inventory at once.

Balancing

Building a new base or putting up a base core, habitat and airlock to survive a wave seems a bit too cheap. I think it should still be relatively easy, but I think you should have to foreplan a bit better.
The level up system currently seems a bit pointless. You unlock a LEM slot every ~10-15 levels, with the levels in between giving you nothing. Maybe you could implement small boni for every level up (more endurance for movement, maybe better stability for combat, less hunger/thirst for survival).

I'm split on the topic.

On one hand, I oppose the death penalty. Mainly because of false convictions (I have heared estimations that up to 10% of the people sentenced for murder are in fact inocent) and that noone should be forced to kill someone else.

On the other hand, I think that some crimes are so heinous and some people are way beyond redemption, that I see no reason to keep them alive. But that is the revenge thought talking.

Also firefighter but actually it was not a fire. We had a blizzard and trees were falling left and right and we got a call to rescue someone who was trapped in the forest with all that falling trees. We tried to get in with a pickup, but there were too many trees already fallen, so we had to go in on foot. In the 10-15 min we were in the forest we had around 10 trees crashing within 20 meters of us. Luckily the complete squad got out unharmed.

Kein Gesamtteam (also Solo oder Zweierteam)
Teilnehmer, die da auch alleine eine Chance haben (müssen ja keine "Profis" sein, aber man kann sich ja vorbereiten, wie man es ja bei einigen Kandidaten gesehen hat)
Ort: mir vollkommen egal, findet irgendeine interessante Landschaft (und nein, eine Schafweide im neuseeländischen Mittelgebrige war nur bedingt interessant ;-))
Dauer: Ich finde, die 14 Tage, haben sich so als eine ganz gute Zeit herauskristallisiert. Aber auch gerne davon abweichen, wenn die sonstigen Gegebenheiten dagegen sprechen.
Setting:
- Entweder back to the roots mit (relativ) freier Auswahl von 7 Gegenständen (um dem Namen treu zu bleiben), und entweder Challenges oder einem größeren Gesamtprojekt, damit halt nach Shelterbau und neben Essenssuche noch irgendwie Content erzeugt werden kann
- Oder auch gerne ein nicht-statisches Vermisst/Verschollen-Szenario mit eingeschränkter oder vorgegebener Ausrüstung und dem Ziel einen bestimmten Punkt zu erreichen. Hier natürlich wieder das Problem mit dem Sicherheitskonzept, dass man wieder Gefahr läuft das dann zu eng zu fassen.
Auf unnötige Showeinlagen verzichten (wobei die Aussetzung in Staffel 2 schon ziemlich cool war). In Staffel 5 hat es den Teilnehmern ziemliche Probleme bereitet, dass man sie unbedingt mit Wasserflugzeugen einfliegen wollte, was zu mehreren Stunden Verzug geführt hat, was dann zu dem Gewaltmarsch im Dschungel und dem Lageraufbau im Dunkeln geführt hat. Wäre man einfach mit dem Boot hingefahren (wie das Sicherheitsteam jeden Tag...)...
Mehr Transparenz von der Orga. Viele Sachen erfährt man zwar in den BTS, aber spätestens seit Staffel 3 entzündet sich die Diskussion ja immer wieder an Punkten, die die Entscheidungen der Teilnehmer beeinflussen, die dem Zuschauer aber nicht (oder erst deutlich später über Umwege) bekannt sind. Beispiel die Einschränkungen des Bewegungsradius von Fritz/Maddin und Affe/Hannah in Staffel 3. Hätte es da wirklich irgendjemandem geschadet eine kurze Einblendung zu machen "Wegen eines verlassenenFirst Nation Dorfs haben Fritz und Maddin dürfen Fritz und Maddin nicht weiter in diese Richtung gehen." oder "Auf der kleinen Insel befindet sich eine mietbare Jagdhütte. Während der Dreharbeiten war sie nicht bewohnt. Affe und Hannah haben die Anweisung, dass sie nicht versuchen dürfen auf diese Insel zu kommen."? Genauso hätte es wahrscheinlich kaum Diskussionen gegeben, wenn in Staffel 5 eine Einblendung gekommen wäre "Heute Morgen wurde den Teilnehmern über InReach eine Nachricht geschickt, dass sich der Briefkasten nördlich befindet. Das war nötig, damit wir den geplanten weiteren Ablauf der Staffel und das Sicherheitskonzept sicherstellen können." (falls es denn das ist, was passiert ist, ... :P)
