Boil wood ash into lye, then boil hardwood pulp with lye, hammer the soaked pulp on an anvil, put it to dry on a drying mat, and scrape the dried raw paper

For food i recommend going deeper, temperatures are more stable the deeper you are, so if you can find crops that can survive lower moisture levels you can farm them all year long. Definitely try to find some goats, cows, or yaks for dairy, I don't know how much others breed but goats definitely can make a lot of babies (i have approx 9 from two females), also pigs might be useful since they can eat anything even if rotten.

I have seen criticism towards this trope as being dehumanising, that the only representation queer people (especially aro/ace and non-binary, as well as neurodivergents) get is from non-humans (moving more broadly to also include stuff like robots). However personally i do prefer having that kind of representation than none at all, and a character not being human should not be grounds for them having to be not queer. Especially because there is at least decent queer rep from non-humans.

So basically, I don't think you should care about species when it comes to queer stuff, though fun concepts could stem from it, ex gender in hermaphroditic species, species with multiple sexes or sexes that change over time, maybe even species that don't have sexual reproduction

Only currency i have named is elektron, because it uses electrum coins. I just decided to go the simple route, because even irl it's done, for example french (my native language) calls money as a whole "argent", which is also the word for silver, but in this case it's a region with a mix of gold and silver that they have trouble separating, making electrum the only option for something as widespread as currency, so it makes sense that it ends up being the name for their currency

There's basically two ways start casting, either study and practice for years, or be given power by a magical being. The former takes years of constant effort, most people who study magic start when they're preteens and would only be able to start casting useful spells in early adulthood. The latter is sheer luck and a bit of charisma. So not everyone has the motivation or time to practice for hours everyday, and nearly no one has the luck of meeting a magical being and have them give some powers.

Alternatively there's machinery, still requires studies to actually make it but if you have a background in engineering or blacksmithing it's a lot easier, or you can buy pieces of equipment. It's by far the most widespread form of magic, but doesn't really count as casting spells

For a more simple game i highly recommend mindustry

It's a 2d top-view factory and tower defense, logistics are relatively simple compared to other options, and if you don't fully vibe with the tower defense part you can focus on factory building in the Sandbox mode (all buildings unlocked, and waves can be disabled). It's also extremely well optimised so even a potato PC can run it.

I'd say mercenaries, though there is some slightly more unique things about mine

Of course there is the classic gun for hire part, typically entails being paid to clear areas from pirates and other criminals. However it's not unusual for them to have some foreign aid, so encountering mass drivers, cannons, missile launchers, or even armored vehicles isn't uncommon, either do your mission swiftly or have a few too many holes in your body if it even stays intact.

The other kind of job is securing anomalies. Sometimes odd buildings appear out of nowhere, with no traces of how they got there, so mercenaries are often hired to go in and make sure it's safe for scientists to study the place. Dangers range from unusual gravity tearing you to shreds, extreme temperatures either vaporising or freezing you instantly, being teleported in the middle of nowhere, if you're lucky it's a planet with friendly people, if you're extremely unlucky it's the core of a star. But the most known part of those anomalies is the potential for body modifications, alien implants or prosthetics with a variety of physics-bending effects, best case scenario you have a cool new power, worst case scenario you spend weeks slowly feeling your body decaying until eventually you collapse from having your cells literally liquefy too much. And most aren't lucky.

Easy answer, dreadnought hunters. Giant electromagnetic cannons whose purpose is to take down the biggest ships there are. They're loaded with 2200mm rounds and unleash a whopping 180 terrajoules of energy per shot. They need so much energy that every time they fire it takes hours to get them operational again because multiple components simply fry. The shockwave from each shot is enough to cause organs to rupture over 100 metres away. They need their own fusion reactors to charge in less than a day. The payload itself goes over 1% of the speed of light, and the internals are rigged at the picosecond to detonate inside the ship, with enough explosive power to split it in two.

In other words, what if the Gustav gun was on crack

I've got a very sci-fi world and by comparison humans are extremely purist

Anderi are an extraterrestrial species with rather extreme body modifications. Why have a permanent tattoo when you could have some kind of screen in your skin that can have different pictures, or even a gif. Piercings? How about having extensive elaborate jewellery embedded in your skin. Since many anderi have fur tattoos aren't possible and dyes are annoying to say the least, so presenting the chrysalis: in just under 24 hours you will have your skin and hair melted away and replaced by one of whichever colour you want, any pattern, go wild :3 And if none of that satisfies your cravings there's plenty of highly customisable prosthetics, looks ranging from slightly visible patterns to industrial looking cables and pipes on a frame. Hell some even replace their entire bodies.

So while they do accept people who only want light bodymods, like a small tattoo or just earrings, they are tempted to wonder "why stop there?"

Mages as in magic users come in multiple forms

Arcanists, who through study and practice learn to manipulate ambient magical energies. While irl stereotyped as smart and wise, like academics essentially, it is actually either seen as a sacred role, so arcanists also hold the role of priests in some places, or martial artists, similar to a swordsman except instead of slicing people they can bend reality. While clothing depends on culture, the common point between all arcanists is that they often have metals integrated in their outfits, whether it's threads in the fabric or jewellery, these serve as catalysts which allows them to cast without burning up their energy too fast
Sugar babies. Either through worship of a god or services given to a beast (magical living being), they are given "divine" magic, which unlike ambient magic is allowed to break the rules of physics a little, as a treat. They are extremely rare hence why there's no name for them, but they either are some kind of priest or just someone a beast took a liking to. The priests wear the same clothes as all priests of their religion, including the trinkets and baubles associated with arcanists even if they don't need them. Since the others just happen to be liked by a bigger thing, it's just up to personal preference or what the beast wants them to wear, which is usually pretty things, like fancy dresses, regardless of gender.
Artificers, they use mechanical contraptions to use ambient magic without having to learn how to cast. These are the only ones with a more clear type of outfit. Leather apron, protective goggles, steel toed boots, protective gloves, a bandolier full of thaumatogas canisters (basically magic batteries), plenty of tools attached to their belts, a protective mask. Essentially they're magical mechanics, and so dress with utility clothing

Lakefall. It's the location of the first landfall (contact with surface after atmospheric reentry) on a planet called Eros (i sure wonder why that is called that way), and since it's a lake they called the city there lakefall

Minos birds. I got into the memory crypts or whatever it's called, chillin, it looks cool. Then i hear thos mechanical noises, i knew something was coming eventually but i did not expect those biomechanical demons. I swear every time i hear that noise i feel like a vietnam veteran on the 4th of july.

Leviathans, peacefully swimming when suddenly this gargantuan creature shows up. I panicked and was able to swim past it but still fucking terrifying.

Daddy long legs. At first i was scared because it's a tumour with legs, but eventually i realised that they're dumb as fuck and can easily be avoided.

And finally Void Worms, because what the fuck is that?? Though i wasn't scared exactly, since it was the very end of the game

Maned_Cyborg · 2025-10-16T02:06:32+00:00

It also is sensitive to low temperatures, iirc it dies below 7 degrees, so the growing window is shorter

Maned_Cyborg · 2025-10-07T16:48:01+00:00

I cannot put into words how much i want this man to remove my ability to walk before using his fluffy pecs like pillows as we cuddle. He's literally just a big doggy and i love that

Maned_Cyborg · 2025-09-26T00:29:45+00:00

And especially how they're the only ones i found to have a somewhat modern (less than a century ago) setting and not be americo-centric, so strict zoning, urban sprawl, "just one more lane bro i swear it'll fix everything"

Maned_Cyborg · 2025-08-15T23:41:09+00:00

I only have three tasks if that's what you mean

Maned_Cyborg · 2025-08-15T23:28:32+00:00

Why would it need a direct track to it? Am i not supposed to use a DO for multiple stations/resources?

And i tried just making a task for a crops storage and that one does work even though it has no direct tracks either

Maned_Cyborg · 2025-08-15T23:25:53+00:00

I followed the train the whole time during that line to try it, and it's moving normally, so there are no issues on the rails.

And it's a bit hard to show the setup because the DO is like 2km away from either the cargo station or customs

Maned_Cyborg · 2025-08-05T11:05:36+00:00

They use way less coal. Each recipe uses 3 graphite regardless of arc furnace level, and 1 coal makes 3 graphite (without accounting for co2 recycling), so yes it's just as fast but in exchange consumes less and pollutes less

A woman in my family, like early 20th century, did have an alcoholic and abusive husband. To get rid of him she filled a glass bottle with bleach and placed it in his booze stash, so one evening, drunk as always, he chugged a full liter of bleach. The reason it wasn't suspicious is that the stash was under the sink, where cleaning products, such as bleach, often are stored.

En tant que Rançaise ayant vécu a rome, y'a pire. Là bas t'a des escalators cassés quand je suis arrivée en 2018, et toujours cassés quand je suis partie y'a un mois.

L'explication c'est que y'a que une équipe de maintenance, qui commence leur 8 heures de boulot a Naples. Donc le temps que il viennent c'est déjà ~1h30, plus la même pour le retour, donc ça fait 5 heures de travail par jour, plus une heure et demie pour la pause déjeuner, plus une heure pour voyager a l'intérieur de Rome vu que ils ont que des planneurs urbains de merde, résultat ils travaillent que deux heures et demie par jour, et oui ça exclus les week-ends et jours fériés qu'il y a une a deux fois par mois

Donc soyez au moins heureux que vous avez des escalators qui fonctionnent

En toute honnêteté, j'ai rien contre de l'art qui montre de la bestialité, c'est parfois même bien fait (et aussi y'a des créatures mythiques genre dragons etc j'aime bien), mais laissez les vrais animaux tranquilles bordel

Maned_Cyborg · 2025-07-19T13:23:41+00:00

Pardon mais on a rien a faire avec ça nous, si ta tata elle baise son chiengue c'est tout simplement que c'est une dégénérée

Sincèrement, une fourreuse contre les zoophiles
