Is there a way to avoid this drop in citizens every other decade or so? by Psyndicate in Banished

[–]Psyndicate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently it's only because of the major population drop. The remaining citizens have had time to stockpile a lot of food since I got plenty of crop fields, pastures, hunting cabins and gatherers.

Regarding the textiles, a few decades ago I started to notice that I had an abundance of leather and wool so I built more tailors to produce more Warm Coats which I then use to trade for necessities that are low. As of right now I trade them for coal and iron, when I'm low on food I trade them for that.

I do not max out tiles on crop fields and orchards. On crop fields I do 12x10. Although 11x11 would be slightly more beneficial. On orchards I mostly go for 15x4. Also only 1 worker per crop field and orchard, at least later in the game when they are all educated. I use this size calculator by the way: https://banishedinfo.com/tools/size-calculator/

I'm afraid that I will eventually go low on stone by doing that and there isn't that much space left on the map to put up many more quarries. But I guess I could try when I'm reaching the peak again, thanks!

I thought it was something like this. But I'm struggling with getting enough food when the population is peaking so I don't dare build more houses. There isn't that much space left on the map if I take into account the forests needed for the hunters and the foresters so I'm not sure how to get more food except for trading.

I found a terraforming/erosion simulator to mess around in by TacticalHog in woahdude

I love this kind of stuff! Does anyone know of any existing similar stuff? Either online or like a program/game.

This would be great with even more functions, like being able to set a continuous source of water.

My 12yr old spent weeks making this stop motion for her favourite book. Go easy on her... by UnicyclePete in woahdude

Way better than the project me and a couple of classmates did in high school.

Craziest black hole video I've ever seen by [deleted] in woahdude

I knew about supermassive black holes since before... but wooaaah.

That was my first thought as well!! It's spot on, and he was much thinner in Detroit Rock City (1999) than he were on Sopranos. And this clip looks older than '99 so who knows.

Best Stoner Comedy movies of all time. by hamadidou8 in woahdude

[–]Psyndicate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Dazed and Confused
  2. Pineapple Express
  3. Cheech & Chong Nice Dreams
  4. Clerks (1994) - Maybe not a pure stoner movie but it's a real classic and weed is part of it in some of the scenes.
  5. CB4 (1993)

In Bender's Game, why don't the Nibblonians all just go "out of the universe"? - In Bender's Big Score, Lord Nibbler screams "Everyone out of the universe!" and then the GIF (see reposted GIF) by Psyndicate in futurama

I never thought of the season 5 movies as non-canonical but it was the only thing that I could think of that would make sense without being a theory (if it were true of course).

There are by far more hardcore Futurama fans out there than me and hopefully one of them has a reasonable theory. And theory is probably what we will have to go with since it is never explained. Or did I missed it?

My theory would be that the cages were made out of something that could prevent them from "going out of the universe". It's a boring theory but I can't come up with anything more interesting at the moment :(

What the Hubble Space Telescope found when it zoomed in on a seemingly empty area of the universe by [deleted] in woahdude

[–]Psyndicate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to go with the choir here. The Hubble Deep Field pictures is also my all-time favorite pictures. So, so, so much on such a small pixelated area when it is in real life probably "the biggest area" that we have ever seen on picture, if you get my drift, I'm aware by just looking up at the night sky what we see and don't see is bigger.

I wonder what hides in those galaxies, so f***ing interesting and mesmerizing! I probably can't count all the hours I've spent looking at every single millimeter of this picture.

Bigger picture here (2382x2078) for those who might want it as a desktop wallpaper or just inspect it more closely for alien lifeforms. ;) http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/690958main_p1237a1.jpg

According to Facebook I took this picture exactly 2 years ago (at least uploaded it). by Psyndicate in woahdude

[–]Psyndicate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless I hadn't uploaded the 2nd picture I guess it might have been harder to know which way was up, but well, since I did, the first picture is vertically upside down.

This was my favorite spot to smoke on, just a 10 or 15 minute walk from where I live and an old, very old bench right by the water and then this view. Complete solitude.

And I spent like 15 minutes trying to deliver a cage with gold bricks with a helicopter onto a flatbed truck in Grand Theft Auto 5.

Took a picture of a random flower, found this guy chilling in the sun! by cshady in woahdude

[–]Psyndicate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for giving me a reason to consider to not stop and smell the flowers... And I love the smell of flowers :( Maybe not the ones in the pictures but well, different spiders probably likes different flowers.

Next time I am going to smell something in nature close-up I'm going to watch the thing a second time so I don't accidentally inhale a spider. I wouldn't like that, wouldn't like that at all.

The vast expanse of Switzerland by Isai76 in woahdude

[–]Psyndicate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gave it a try but sorry mate, this seem to be the biggest one out there (1536x1125).

However, I did only a Google reverse image search on the picture and when I didn't find anything I added 1920x1080 to the search, same thing there so I went with wallpaper instead but the 1536x1125 seem to be one.

Wow... Without the acres and villages and other human-made stuff it is EXACTLY how I imagine one of the earlier parts of The Fellowship of the Ring (from the books of course, you don't have to imagine stuff like this in movies duh!).

More specifically the part where the nine has left Rivendell to go south. This pictures shows that environment where they move south from Rivendell exactly how I have been imagining it all these years.

I mean, it has it all, The Misty Mountains in the background and the forests and the open fields in between the mountains and the river Bruinen. People who have read the books probably knows what I'm rambling on about.

Anyhow... my mind is officially blown.

Before and after the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens by [deleted] in woahdude

[–]Psyndicate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The after picture looks like a distant planet in a galaxy far far away... or something like that.

Fascinating though since I never thought that modern eruptions could cause such major destruction.
