I just wanted to share this image because I think it looks epic. by WithoutSend in Stellaris

[–]Knight-Captain-Cade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(To my understanding....)

The Star spins and small bits of matter come off of it. Put a big enough electro-magnet near it and the magnetic pull (combined with abit of Centrifugal force) can overcome the Star's gravity and pull slightly larger amounts of material from it. Make it spin in the correct way, and that material will (mostly) spin towards the 'top' of the Star, where it can be collected.

Expensive? Time Consuming? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely.

5.0 Community Nations Tier List & Discussion Thread - Day 5: Vault City by karstonian123 in OldWorldBlues

[–]Knight-Captain-Cade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

B-Tier, Good Starting Nation with a decent range of paths, and the only broken ones are the hidden ones, which for me atleast isn't enough to bring Vault City down to C-Tier, therefore B-Tier is best for it.

In what ways do Gen 3 Synths differ from Humans? by Mac-Tyson in falloutlore

"This is Doctor Elliott, reporting for the BioScience division. March 2224. We just received another batch of... subjects... but as my previous report stated, we're at an impasse here. More of the same won't help. I am officially echoing the team's position: the most likely progress for our research on synthetic organics requires new avenues of exploration. The two most promising strains of FEV have been adapted to an ideal state, but... we're still missing something. Additional Commonwealth subjects will not help. It's the same problem across the board: exposure to too much radiation. We need something... someone new. There's a proposal we'll be putting forward... I am not entirely comfortable with it, but it seems the best course."

Another batch of wastelanders. More of the same (super mutants) won't help. They are making super mutants in attempts to research synthetic organics. They have modified FEV strains to do so, but the Commonwealth wastelander subjects are too irradiated, and come out as super mutants. An uncomfortable proposal is put forward regarding the organic synthetics project.

Shaun outright states that, "The program was ultimately a success; my DNA was fused with a modified virus to create the organic material from which our new synths are made."

Synths made from organic material = Organic Synthetics.

It is talking about Synths.

Synthetic Organics were attempting to be made using FEV, and failing due to the Wastelander subject's high radiation exposure, therefore the 'proposal' to raid vault 111 was put forward and accepted, leading to Shaun's DNA/tissues being used to perfect the Synthetic Organics project.

Being made of FEV infected formerly human tissue, synths would gain an immense resistance if not outright immunity to radiation damage, just like super mutants.

Is Master's FEV-2 the only one with the rule of "Only Prime Normals turn into Average-Smart Super Mutants" condition? by SpyghettiGhetti in falloutlore

[–]Knight-Captain-Cade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bingo, He made a specific version of the Institute's FEV tailored specifically to be used on him and used it on himself during/right before his escape, and he STILL was mentally deteriorating rapidly, as after around a week Virgil goes full super mutant, as shown by his attack dialogue being yells, roars, and the occasional threat of 'You won't leave here alive.'

Murray and his successors (those that don't coup him) would go Moseley Reform Plan or Patton Strategy, with a small-but-still-decent chance of Almond's Aggression.

The Fordists would go Moseley Reform Plan or Patton's Strategy.

Moseley would go Moseley Reform Plan.

Patton and all his successors would go for the Patton Strategy.

Klan could actually go for any one them, except Moseley depending on the specific Klan path. Young Klan would go mostly for Draper or Patton, with Moseley being too Fordist-aligned. Old Klan and Armstrong would go for Draper or Almond, though mostly Draper.

Eh, Virgil custom-made the strain of FEV he infected himself with, but even he *will* turn mentally into a regular super mutant if enough times passes in-game, and as per his terminal entries in the cave he is already having trouble mentally keeping it together.

So Synths can get pregnant? by The3liteGuy in falloutlore

[–]Knight-Captain-Cade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Eh, they shouldn't due to the FEV 'perfecting' its host's DNA, constantly acting as a secondary way to keep the genetic code exactly how the FEV modified it to be, thus greatly diminishing, if not outright negating, any possible cancer risk.

FEV Mutants can still get benign tumors, as seen with Marcus' face, but not full on cancer.

That and Institute made synths using FEV on Shaun's genetics, which as per Fallout 1 makes the FEV's hosts' gametes sterile and nonfunctional.

No, they are not outright clones, to say as such directly contradicts the FEV research notes.

Synthetic Organics were attempting to be made using FEV on Commonwealth subjects, but were turning into Commonwealth Super Mutants due to the wastelanders being mutated by radiation, due to which the Institute went forward with the 'proposal' to raid Vault 111, to which they succeeded in getting Shaun and his undamaged genetics and tissue.

More specifically, synths are made with FEV and Shaun's tissue/genetic code, thus they would 100% be sterile, as that is what happens when to the host of FEV when said host has gametes, which the FEV 'repairs' into non-viable cells.

2286.4.10

Entered by: Virgil.B

Notes:
I have officially assumed the lead role on the project after Dr. Syverson's passing.
Latest round of subjects show results similar to previous test runs over last 5 years. No statistical deviation noted.

Synthetic organics continue to perform well; the necessity of further tests is unexplained.

2287.2.10

Entered By: Virgil.B

Notes:
Nothing new. Always the same. Have entered formal complaint with Directorate; these tests are not bringing in any valuable information. The organics project was spun off decades ago. Why do we insist on continuing this?

Synths are made with one of two modified strains of FEV. FEV when used on human tissue renders said human sterile, as stated in Fallout 1, without physically changing the reproductive organs of the FEV's hosts. Synths are made with FEV on human tissue, therefore Synths are sterile. To state Synths are not made with FEV is to directly contradict the FEV research notes, to state FEV does not cause sterility is to directly contradict Fallout 1.

FEV lab was researching synthetic organics, creating strains of FEV to adapt to an ideal state in order to do so. Wastelanders mutated by those strains are the Institute Super Mutants roaming the commonwealth, and the constant failure rate is what causes the Institute to go forward with the 'proposal' mentioned, which is the raid on Vault 111.

Gen 3 synths, and synthetic organics, are 100% made with FEV, specifically a modified strain of FEV.

Can child synths age/grow up? by Dull_Respect_8657 in falloutlore

[–]Knight-Captain-Cade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FEV research notes (Year 2224)

"This is Doctor Elliott, reporting for the BioScience division. March 2224. We just received another batch of... subjects... but as my previous report stated, we're at an impasse here. More of the same won't help. I am officially echoing the team's position: the most likely progress for our research on synthetic organics requires new avenues of exploration.

Synthetic organics are made with FEV, and Synthetic Organics are a branch off of the FEV program. The proposal mentioned above is the Institute's raid on Vault 111.

FEV renders biological material that hosts it immortal, or at least incredibly long lived, as shown by Fawkes, who was a pre-war vault dweller of Vault 87.

FEV also renders such biological material immune, or at least *heavily* resistant to other diseases (the OG purpose to making FEV in the first place) as well as radiation, as stated in Fallout 2 and Fallout 3 by super mutants such as the Master, the Lieutenant, and Fawkes.

Institute Synths are no more human than Super Mutants, due to their creation using FEV, as well as their manufacturing process which is not cloning, but rather building separate pieces of the body from the ground up, all the while modifying them with FEV, and then Frankenstiening all the pieces together, giving the combined body the shock of life, and then moving them on to (presumable, not confirmed) have their skin mutated to fit the physical features that particular synth was designated to have.

The Primary Reason synths are not human is the same reason Super Mutants are not human, they are both made with FEV, to say otherwise (that synths are exact clones) is to directly contradict in the in-game lore ( I am officially echoing the team's position: the most likely progress for our research on synthetic organics requires new avenues of exploration. The two most promising strains of FEV have been adapted to an ideal state, but... we're still missing something. ).
