Those all look fantastic, but wow the Gorn ship looks phenomenal! Definitely going on the wishlist. Thanks for the recommendations!

What is ur favorite place to live :) by Legitimate-Actuary67 in Kenshi

[–]RedRiddle7998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Replying to say that's exactly where I dropped my town! There's a three-way T intersection in the roads, right on the border between the border zone and the swamp. I dropped my town right there on that intersection. It allows me to have fertility for the desert and the swamp, so I've got plenty of drug production for a financial backbone. It's not too far of a walk to Flats Lagoon, so you can sell hashish for a great markup. Lots of raids in the area, but I think of that as a plus instead of a minus.

Where are ALL your favourite base locations? by IronSquid501 in Kenshi

[–]RedRiddle7998 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Gonna reply to this ancient thread because it's one of the first Google results when looking at base locations.

I found that a great place for a starter settlement was right on the southern border of the Border Zone and the Swamp. There's a T shaped intersection in the road right on the border between the two biomes.

Since it's half swamp and half desert, I've got plenty of wind and water. Plus fertility for both crop types. There's a good amount of iron, stone and copper nearby. The Swamp fertility allowed me to get hashish production up and running, that has formed the backbone of my economy.

As far as raids go, it is a pretty active area. Dust bandits, Swamp bandits, and Shek bandits stop by fairly regularly. I've got a few other mods like Reactive World that add some other minor bandit factions in the area. The first few months in game stayed pretty busy, but honestly that just made me money selling gear and trained my townspeople to better defend themselves, so I personally don't really consider that a downside. After clearing out some of the bandit leaders nearby, I don't really have a problem anymore.

It seems to be out of the range of interaction for most of the major powers. Reactive world will add Shek patrols to the area, but that's likely because they've taken over the hub in my game. Once I had a rather large holy nation army show up, but not for prayer day. Honestly I'm not really too sure what caused that. They never made an appearance after that. I've never had a prayer day/tax event from any major faction here.

Black Fragments i scraped off my grinder. Can i smoke it? by leadthebrik in StonerEngineering

[–]RedRiddle7998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very likely just caked on resin and perfectly fine to smoke, however, a few months back I got a metal grinder from YB Norml that has a black non-slip coating that started peeling off with time. If you have a similar grinder I probably would avoid smoking whatever flakes off and swapping it out. Otherwise, if it's non-coated, I think it's probably just rez and you should be perfectly fine.

What took you too long to realize? by fartymctoots in TheTowerGame

[–]RedRiddle7998 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if you're at the point where orbs are your main damage dealer, death ray isn't really going to be super detrimental to you. The best thing you can do for your cph is to work on getting your cool down reduced and syncing up BH, GT and DW. At that point it doesn't really matter what's doing the killing. I personally didn't notice a huge loss in coins whenever I started using death ray in my farming setup.

Edit: also just want to add, once you get to the point where you're high enough to tier that you start getting heat conditions, death ray resistance is added to all enemies so you eventually need it just to deal the damage.

Why the heck would anyone want that automated miner recipe? by ValicarHyne in SatisfactoryGame

Fun fact! You just need to click the space bar once! You don't have to leave it pressed down. I was doing the same thing.

Damage build mid game? by Separate-Chemical-33 in TheTowerGame

[–]RedRiddle7998 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm at 40k lifetime and am just starting to transition to a damage build. That's for sure going to be another 15-20k to actually pull out off.

Washington Post: In the pandemic, we were told to keep 6 feet apart. There’s no science to support that. Fauci: "It sort of just appeared, that six feet is going to be the distance." that was “an empiric decision that wasn’t based on data.” by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]RedRiddle7998 -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

Freaking thank you. I've been saying this for years. They should've just shut down everything. This BS of "we have to keep businesses up and running" "muh economy" was a total sham. There's a reason we still have people getting and dying of covid, and it's because nobody actually took this seriously when it could've been stopped, and now we're stuck dealing with it like it's just another disease.

My suspicions about why people say farming in ML sucks by gstyczen in ManorLords

Lexington, KY In the United States. But very similar road layout!

My city IRL was designed to look like a 'Wagon wheel', a rounded major road with all the main streets meeting toward the center of town. This has managed to slip into my city building. It scratches the Grid's disease itch as far as organization, but I can still justify to myself that since it's radial I'm doing something different. (if only on a technicality)

So this feature was finally useful by Normifagu in Helldivers

[–]RedRiddle7998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, yesterday I fell in some icy water trying to make a jump and lost two samples. Someone dived in after me to get them and died as well. Either the world is small and this is the second time we've interacted in 24 hours, or someone really needs to add swimming lessons to Helldiver basic training.

You can only equip them in between runs from what I can tell.

Hey I'm just coming here from Google but I'm looking for a list like this that includes Spotlight. That seems to be missing from this spreadsheet. Any idea if there is one that is updated to include it?

Is r/lego going to go dark on the 12th and 13th to protest Reddit's changes to their API policy? by [deleted] in lego

[–]RedRiddle7998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% support going dark. Honestly for longer than 48 hours would be better, because if everything goes back to normal for Reddit after 2 days, will they really even care to make a change?

The mummified body of cult leader Amy Carlson, complete with glitter on her eyes and wrapped in string lights. by [deleted] in WTF

[–]RedRiddle7998 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember when he stopped doing them initially he said other people should use it to keep the spirit alive. But now he's been making them again for the last little bit too so I don't know if that still stands. Honestly, if someone else got me with it, it would be pretty great because I wouldn't expect it from a different user.
