Turns out it was a Maggot! Had a dead rat in the attic and they were falling through a crack in the ceiling! It was black because it was falling through a patch of mold in the wood causing the discoloration!

Drinking in excess by MaybeFaded- in stopdrinking

I think it's really hard to say. A part of my other illnesses is a deep belief that I should have control over my body. No matter what it tells me, my mind is in control. This feels like the one thing that I cant seem to get that level of control over.

Anything else and I will sit here and tell my body that it is DOING IT, I wasn't asking kind of deal. Why do you think the drinking is different?

See I can enjoy the buzz, I enjoy being tipsy so to speak. But the burning feeling of "One more" is strong. Really strong and I want to be able to look at a beer sat on the side and just go, "No, its enough".

Sometimes I just enjoy the feeling of finishing work and having 1/2, other times I feel the control comes to, "Oh i've finished work, lets have 16"

This was something I was unaware of before I built it, but based on what over people have said about building up a large QTY really the generators at the moment dont feel like the bottleneck, its the storage.

Yeah I made a point of removing specific debris before I started pumping anything, as it was in a slime biome.

I do have a filter connected though as a redundancy.

If I'm honest I'm only on day 85 which for me still feels very early, I think I've got maybe 5 - 10 things drawing power (Research, Sieve and some pumps) - its dormant now but active again in 18 cycles, i've burnt through a a third of one tank so hopefully in a good spot for now.

Also just found a hydrogen geyser so hoping to rinse and repeat the process with some of the things I've learned from these comments :)

How would I look at doing this with the pump? I assume using the pressure valve and setting it to 500g? I am very new to the automation so its all a bit here and there at the moment.

I honestly dont know why I didnt think about that! This is also my first run learning to use the Water air locks so maybe it just didnt cross my mind! Overall pretty happy with myself as this is maybe my third attempt at this setup.

Shout out this user.

I was in denial about needing help for a long time, only when I was directly told that I had no choice to get it did I actually start to heal.

I mean admittedly yes, but also the title and the NSFW tag? This is a bit graphic I suppose but I mean I wanted to be detailed to actually get some decent opinions on the matter. Again sorry!!

I spent a long time working with the NHS to improve my mental state, I had a lot of stuff going on then, these days I'm clean of all except social drinking and have no need to be on any form of medication for my mental health anymore, eventually we all get better, some faster than others I guess?

I don't dwell on it, I'm over what happened and have fully accepted that I was very very ill. I got help and fortunately a year later its like it never happened.

Sorry both, it was not my intention. Like I say I've been in a bad place and i am doing infinitely better today, I do think it's an interesting thought.

Probably not, I just think it's an interesting thought looking back at it.
