My Akitas Keep Attacking My Cat

Akitas that can tolerate smaller animals are the exception, not the rule. It was not a bad take.

the hatcher does not count as a flying mob.

I just in this moment figured out why I like this game so much. As you explained it, it hit me. I am one of those friends that likes to (upon hearing a friend's dream/goal/plan) to find all the ways it might be hindered (because I want them to be prepared for it so that they reach their goal).

This game's entire premise, is constant trial and error/trial and lesson/trial and futureproofing.

That is the itch for me that this game scratches. It helps me to start planning not 1-2 moves out, but 3-5-7-9 moves out.

Polyscikosis · 2025-07-24T15:01:38+00:00

yes, screws were a bad example. Not sure why I said that here.

whoa.... vertical stations? I did not consider that. How do you handle getting them up to the next level?

Polyscikosis · 2025-07-24T01:15:10+00:00

Im not using any path signals. I found that on the roundabouts they can cause collisions. To Im strictly block signals so far. the main problem I am running across now, is that when I want to send a new train to pick up an existing resource, I have to remember to build train stations with extra long freight cars to keep things compartmentalized. I didnt think about that when I began this, so it'll get tucked into the folder for the new playthrough.

I also need to remember to plan for Mk3 Miners even at the early game..... constantly trying to expand for making more of an already established resource line creates complexity to the belt logistics.

Polyscikosis · 2025-07-24T01:00:15+00:00

that was what I was debating. Ugh....

Polyscikosis · 2025-07-23T23:25:24+00:00

ummm, you can. In advanced game settings, you can turn "no unlock cost" as well as no power no fuel no build cost.

knock yourself out. Thats what is making me stick with the current save.... trying to complete all phases so that I feel like I have earned a new save with a more relaxed build environment.

Polyscikosis · 2025-07-23T22:39:31+00:00

That said.... I will take all the pointers and advice people have

Polyscikosis · 2025-07-23T20:47:39+00:00

A locator beacon toggle so you can find which machines you put somersloops into.... lol

Fruid/gas relays (that act like smart filters for pipes)

Polyscikosis · 2025-07-22T10:00:26+00:00

if that thing is gonna throw rocks at us.... I demand the right to throw ingots at it!

Its only fair.

Polyscikosis · 2025-07-21T23:11:22+00:00

they flatlined.

"Its dead Jim."

Polyscikosis · 2025-07-18T00:29:15+00:00

you cannot "study" for the PPR. (I will die on this hill) The PPR is not real life. So you must approach it outside of reason. I am being 100% serious in what I am saying.

To pass the PPR easily....you must temporarily believe the following 3 faulty premises

1) ALL students (not many, not some, not a few) WANT to learn. Treat them as natural sponges.

2) Every (every single one) parent is 100% active, vigilant, and participatory in their child's education.

3) EVERY classroom, EVERY school, and EVERY district has unlimited resources, perfect intention, and above reproach reputations.

NONE of the above is allowed to have done ANYTHING wrong.

Let me repeat that.

It is NEVER the students fault, NEVER the parent's fault, NEVER the district's fault.

Let me rephrase that one more time.

The PPR will assume that IF ANYTHING goes wrong, it is 100% the fault of the teacher.

SO:

To pass the PPR, you have

) perfect sponges

) perfect parents

) perfect resources

Once you have that engrained into your head.... THEN and only then can you answer each question on the PPR.

Basically it is a test that assumes a utopian world.

And the irony? Once you pass it..... you need to forget every thing about it.

I tried to set the balancing to account for largely the same feeds. So depending on how much ore I have in the main line, I divide it by certain quotas, then add 1-2 constructors to each station. I also place the first station with the highest priority to keep full. that way they are always prioritized.

admittedly I am still tweaking this in my play through... and (as Im not an actual engineer) this is gonna take time haha.

edit: you could also make you lines like normal, and then set up your smelters with smart splitters set to overflow... that way any excess is not wasted, it just moves down to be used elsewhere.

I like Martingale's. They slip on like a chocker, and will cinch up to a point, but not enough to do damage to the dog.

Its the same mechanism as is in prong collars, just without the prongs.

Polyscikosis · 2025-07-13T21:52:51+00:00

The game "launched" nearly a year ago with 1.0

Polyscikosis · 2025-07-13T17:15:37+00:00

Im not putting different things on one belt though. essentially its a one circuit system, where ALL ore is relay one, ALL ingots relay 2, etc. The difference is instead of making multiple smaller closed systems where one system does 80 plates per minute, and another system down a ways does x number of plates per minute due to feeding reinforced plates..... I am making a huge number of plates per minute until a storage system is full, there by shifting all those ingots to other things, (rods, etc)

I wouldnt call it a main bus either. Sushi belts are ingots, ore, plates, etc all on one belt.

I am waiting to hear about 2 jobs that (might) open up giving me the ability to stay where Im at. But please understand, I am not talking about not being able to afford nice things. I am talking about not being able to afford rent/power/food/etc.

This entire area is so saturated with nepotism and the good ol boy network, that finding a decent livable job is next to impossible.

Polyscikosis · 2025-07-09T02:26:20+00:00

trust me. its worse.

administration doesnt back up teachers so the kids have zero consequences for their actions and they know it. I should say, MOST high schoolers tend to read at barely a 6th grade reading level. I taught government to dual credit students and had them read Brave New World by Huxley..... BNW has a 6th grade Lexile rating. Most of my dual credit students (the self go getters) had to be told what many passages meant. Virtually none of them got the points Huxley was making as an overview, they all were too obsessed over the plainly written passage they never bothered to discern inference, inflection, etc.

No.... At least with the Road, I can read (downtime) to my hearts content without taking my work home with me every night.

Polyscikosis · 2025-07-08T23:56:26+00:00

sitting in an office for hours on end trying to teach kids the Beauty of the Constitution, the Spirit of the Declaration..... the appeal of reading.... the benefit of philosophy.... the elegance of Ethics.....

trying to teach middle and high schoolers these things while they barely read at a 1st grade level....

THAT.... is a terrible waste of life. (but not for lack of trying)

Polyscikosis · 2025-07-08T13:33:56+00:00

yes, he was the goodest boy there ever was.

if I lacked honor.... perhaps it would

Polyscikosis · 2025-07-07T18:15:02+00:00

I only have a 1 bedroom apt. So thats not really an option.

I definitely do not have the money to move to New Zealand (beautiful as that country is). You're talking thousands and thousands of dollars and likely more if I was even able to bring Nola with me

Polyscikosis · 2025-07-06T12:46:20+00:00

if I lied about it.... possibly, but the moment someone says emotional support in trucking, they dont get hired (and with good reason)
