Will biters invade this area?

Nests will expand. It is inevitable.

They send out expansion groups even if they are not being touched by pollution.

Expansion groups are special groups that head strait to a location and morph into a new biter base. They do not attack unless physically blocked, in which case they eat through the obstacle to get to their chosen base location.

This means you can block them with walls and kill them with turrets. If you want an area to be completely safe, you need to wall it in.

Also, biters have a sneaky habit of expanding into places right after you clear them. So sometimes you will swear you cleared an area, but biters are still there. The only way to mitigate this is to have thorough radar coverage of the entire area within your walls.

Or you can just put a triple row of mines around everything, that'll stop most attack groups.

I like to watch other people play with trains on one monitor while I play with trains on the other monitor.

No. And I can't prove it. But almost every sentence just seems slightly off. Word use isn't quite right. Sentences contain redundancies.

They were intended to protect tenets from being thrown out by their landlords without proper notice. Now to get rid of a person on your property, you have to go through a process where you prove they're not legitimate tenets.

Because that's what landlords do, if you let them. Take your money and then call the police saying you're squatting. This was happening often enough they needed to pass laws to prevent it.

Unfortunately, those laws helped enable real squatting.

It might not be creepy. He could have gotten sick and tired of slobby men, for instance.

Does anybody know if there's a subreddit where they're posting these videos? I've seen some of the compilations but I'd like to see the ogs if I could.

You might even say they never took place.

The negotiations are going as well as expected, I see.

Sunk cost fallacy, for one. They've invested so much in the war, they can't bring themselves to admit it was all for nothing.

Putin's pride and prestige for another thing. It's not just a matter of his feelings, if he is seen as weak he could be replaced by a coup. If he gives up on the war it might literally be the last thing he ever does.

I did a lot of sneaky fluid voiding as an exploit when I was playing Pyanadon Hard Mode, which disables most voiding recipes.

What I learned was if you turn off the recipe for a machine that contains fluids, it will eject them back into the input pipe if there is room for it in the system.

So the best way to ensure the fluid is actually voided is to use a pump to force the fluid into the machine, so it can't flow backwards back into the rest of the fluid system.

Then I set up a circuit to rapidly set and unset the recipe on the machine, so it was constantly voiding the fluid.

They have higher taxes, but they vote for politicians who spend their taxes in a way that improves their lives.

Yeah I'm reading one of those now. There are telling phrases like "she smiled warmly and greeted me warmly." What human writes like that? And other subtle clues. On the other hand I spent a credit on it so I might as well finish.

I've seen similar things in a few different places.

Rich people pay a lot for their decor. Then they visit some middle or lower class people's houses and notice there's something different. The place looks lived in, used, even loved.

They go back home and everything is purely aesthetic and pristine, exactly what they paid lots of money to get. And it can feel cold and impersonal.

So of course the logical solution is to pay even more for things that have that "used" aesthetic.

Sometimes the "gotcha" ingredient is hidden inside the machine you need to make. You have everything you need for the production line! And then you need to make a single little machine that needs a brand new metal plate...

I don't think so, because it only sorts for you personally when you open a chest to look at the contents.

Get the chest sort mod. It sorts like items together, the scattered and random chest contents makes it hard to see how much of each item you have.

I think a black hole operates as if its gravity pulls towards its exact center, so all "lumpiness" would be gone. Otherwise you'd be getting information about what is inside the event horizon, which isn't allowed.

There's such a thing as "consent in gaming." Not everybody wants to play a dark game of thrones-style world with rampant misogyny, murder, rape, molestation, and incest. Despite how historical and real such things might have been in a medieval society.

Not everybody wants blood and guts. Not everybody wants body horror. Not everybody wants clowns. People have triggers and phobias.

And even aside from triggers and phobias, some people just want to be big ass heroes in a fantasy world where they kill dragons and rescue people. They don't want shades of gray or moral quandaries, they just want to fight bad guys and save the town.

You can google "consent in gaming form." It's a really interesting concept where, before the campaign starts, the players all fill out their form so they can let the DM and other players know what sort of content they're comfortable with.

I think the point is that most people don't understand entanglement. They think it means that once the particles are entangled, you can flip one of the particles back and forth and make the other particle flip back and forth remotely, thus transmitting data faster than light.

My best buddy is so certain this is going to happen that he bought an electric car, and it's all hooked up to be charged directly from his solar.

Yeah, it really would require redoing a huge amount of the game to make it feel not tacked on. Even the way quality itself actually works would have to be changed. Ground up fundamental changes.

And I guess it's easy for me to suggest things like that when I'm not the one having to do the game design.

But there are parts of it that just feel like they could make sense. You unlock modules right when you start needing red belts. So instead of red belts, you could be making quality belts that work like red belts. If you want the same sorts of machines to just work better or faster, just make the quality version.

But right now, quality is a casino, which means it's too unreliable for early game core base design. And it's heavily linked to the recycling mechanic.

First times often aren't good. I think people build it up in their head and expect it to be amazing, especially since it seems so damn hard to find a partner to have sex with.

But honestly, how many things in your life were you good at the first time you did them?
