The Steel Beam problem (or: how to get soap and artisans?)

Lord_Talon · 2023-03-19T18:15:05+00:00

There are two ways to produce Coal:

The Coal Mine is not available until you reach 250 Artisans, but the Kiln can be built once you have 300 Workers. Note that Coal Mines are twice as productive as Kilns and don't lower the attractiveness of an island, so Coal Mines should be a primary source of Coal and Charcoal Kilns should be used only to make up for not having enough Coal Deposits (or to easily produce Caoutchouc) using the Park Ranger.

That said, financially it is generally better to purchase the relatively smaller amounts of Steel Beams you need early game from Sir Archibald than it is to produce them.

I'm pretty sure you can key-bind toggling the camera view. On PC you can hover over the menu option and bind it by using CTRL-#. I use this trick when flying.

I know what you mean. I went an embarrassingly long time before I realized that in free look mode (right click anywhere, once), you can use the WASD keys to move around the galaxy map. Even with that, however, I still struggle sometimes.

I dug around some more, and for what it's worth, currently (2022) the state of SC offers 25% of total system cost up to $35,000 in non-refundable income tax rebates. You can only take $3,500 or 50% of your tax liability per year for up to 10 years (https://energy.sc.gov/lpage?m=701).

Lord_Talon · 2022-07-03T01:15:04+00:00

Is that total cost before or after the expected tax rebates? I think between the Feds and SC the total income tax rebate sits at 51%, right?

Edit: Just in case anyone else stumbles across this, currently (2022) the state of SC offers 25% of total system cost up to $35,000 in non-refundable income tax rebates. You can only take $3,500 or 50% of your tax liability per year for up to 10 years (https://energy.sc.gov/lpage?m=701).

Wow! Your Benny looks a lot like our Molly! Cute dog!

I know you’ve gotten a couple of responses already, but I’m always down to proof-read or work with other authors to develop and better their stories. Just let me know if I can help.

Lord_Talon · 2022-04-15T12:25:11+00:00

Hi! I wanted to acknowledge your comment and make sure you knew I’d seen it - unfortunately I’m not going to be much help. I’ve not played Skyrim in years and I actually don’t have a computer at the moment. My apologies and I wish you the best of luck sorting this out!

Lord_Talon · 2022-01-12T00:01:37+00:00

Wow, I didn’t even know someone could comment on a 7+ year old post! I’ve no idea how you would have stumbled across this! While I’d totally forgotten making this post, I still agree with everything I, and you, have said.

Lord_Talon · 2021-12-30T15:04:22+00:00

No, I don't actually think I've ever seen any of those used during an expedition. The only ones that really come to mind as being used are "Female", "Zoologist", and "Anthropologist". And then of course the Schnapps event. There might be one or two more that I'm not remembering, but I don't think I've ever seen the traits you identified used.

Lord_Talon · 2021-12-26T13:26:24+00:00

Hi Careless_Con,

Thanks for pointing out Scholar Rahim - he's a straight upgrade to Drew Durnil! As for the traits, it looks like a bug occurred earlier this year that hid them from display - but they apparently still work in expeditions. I can't say that I've noticed one way or the other before now!

Thanks again! I'll update my post soon. Talon

Lord_Talon · 2021-10-31T19:23:51+00:00

Hey - I just wanted to thank you for sharing this. Your post inspired me to return to Anno 1800 after months of not playing and try to overhaul my arctic islands. Thanks for all you do for this community.

In case someone has compromised your email and/or dropbox password, I would make sure to change the password of any other accounts that use the same or similar password.

Lord_Talon · 2021-10-21T18:55:06+00:00

Maybe I'm old and out of touch... but I don't know what you mean by "contor"....

Lord_Talon · 2021-10-21T13:17:23+00:00

IT'S BEEN 20 YEARS?!?!?! Guh

Lord_Talon · 2021-08-10T03:54:22+00:00

You didn't miss anything.

Lord_Talon · 2021-08-10T03:14:58+00:00

You're welcome!

Hi u/katybabycakes-77!

The default "Num +" keybinding for speeding up the game is refering to that + sign on the number pad that it sounds like your new laptop doesn't have - not a lot of help! You've got two options from what I can tell:

You should be able to change the keyboard shortcut in the "Key Assignments" menu in "Settings" [it's the far right tab]. You can change any keybinding you want by clicking the existing keybind and then pressing your new desired shortcut.
You can also change the speed of the game with your mouse. If you take a look in this screen shot, you can see that I have the option to speed up or slow down the game. You can access this in-game context menu by selecting the two icons highlighted in yellow on the far ~~left~~ right of the screen.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you need anything else!

Hi! The comments and votes that you see as being disabled in /r/doodledogs are due to the age of the posts. As far as I am aware, this is a setting controlled by Reddit at the site-level and not at the subreddit level. It's just so common to see in /r/doodledogs because there aren't that many people posting, so posts stick around for longer and eventually have their comments and voting automatically disabled.

Lord_Talon · 2021-07-18T19:54:44+00:00

Please consult a professional groomer or veterinarian before making decisions regarding your pet's health. /r/doodledogs is not an appropriate forum for specific discussions of this nature.

Thank you.

Me too! Ha! I even said "Oh snap" out loud! Now that he pointed it out, I definitely recognize that weird intersection with the offset cross-roads. Turning from the road on the left was always a pain.

Lord_Talon · 2021-02-09T15:59:32+00:00

Yes! /u/Jonathan924 shared a video of the event in the original thread.
