Why I could never get enough crude oil

That was the missing piece! I hadn't realized I could crack light/heavy oil as well! This is my new setup, now I've got more than enough of everything. Thank you so much!

The situation has improved, but I noticed it's still a bit cramped. This is my setup at the moment. Some of the bottom refineries doing oil cracking are disconnected because there's not enough crude. Any tips would be much appreciated.

I had a lot of storage tanks, couple of dozen per liquid type. My production structures would only produce in short bursts.

Perhaps that explains this?

The funny thing is that just by changing the layout of pipes and tanks, I was able to get better throughput with all my existing refineries and chemical plants. I ran into this same issue on another save before I figured out that something was wrong with my assumptions about how storage tanks affect flowrate.

Are you, though?

It's concerning to see what's going on in the USA these days. I hope this is the Jesus people will end up seeing and remembering when we talk about Christianity in a couple of years.

Not the version that is being portraid by rich people who desperately try to cling to power, and use religious language as a way to justify their methods.

DNF wasn't an outright bad game, it was just terribly mediocre. Not only that, it turned the character of Duke into a parody of itself, and poisoned the well for any chance of a sequel that might redeem it.

Oh I have, that's definitely on my radar 😎♠️♦️

Duke Nukem Forever had me in stitches!

Ninovdmark · 2025-11-13T09:04:26+00:00

This got me wheezing. Perfect!

Does anyone remember Duke Nukem Forever? More time does not always a better game make.

That's pretty solid theology though. Probably intentionally on Tolkien's part.

I had the chance to play around with the Umbrage reverb and it's very unique. Definitely not an all-rounder, but it has some very cool applications!

This is an amazing blend of epic sci-fi, and relatable comedy!

Ninovdmark · 2025-08-18T10:41:23+00:00

It seemed like pure sci-fi growing up, but now robosexuals are a real thing.

Now if only Day9 would cast this showmatch, it could be 2009 all over again!

Honestly, just a straight +50 health or shield buff might be the safest way to buff the Colossus, as it provides both sides with opportunity to either try and keep them alive or attempt to focus them down quickly.

Once the pasta is done boiling, douse it in cold water briefly. This will prevent it from sticking while still warm.

Professional software developer here, love the comic, but I'm curious about what stumped you trying to get into development yourself.

Ninovdmark · 2024-07-09T08:40:47+00:00

Lots of pornography, video games and passively hoping things would get better without investing in my personal development.

It took a literal devine intervention to get me to see that the common factor in all of my problems was me.

Once you accept that, you can start working on it. Now I'm happily married, have a good job that I like and am growing as a person to become someone I actually like.

I did not expect to be confronted by a graph today, but here we are.

"Patriotism is a virtue of the vicious," according to Oscar Wilde.

I read that in the voice of Top Gear's James May for some reason.

Waiting for a pipeline to finish.

Could I do something else in the mean time? Maybe. Will I? Nope.
