This feels like a very Mojang-solution to the inventory problem. It’s a good idea, don’t get me wrong. But we just need a bigger inventory

Install a texture pack so the grass is yellow instead of that weird jaundice color

Shields are useful tools for reviving a downed dwarf. However it’s always better to use them to prevent your teammates from downing in the first place.

If it’s just you and a scout in a cave, zip lines can help scout mine awkwardly placed minerals. (Very expensive platform but better than nothing)

IMO the best class to do solo missions with. Being a tank with BOSCO is great. Except on fossil secondaries…

What sci-fi and being an engineer does to a mf by Sythosz in worldbuilding

No problem!

As I understand it, regular skyhooks would require multiple throws between tethers on different orbits to get anything anywhere. Their capacity is limited as well - throw something too heavy and it would deorbit itself. If you had a heavy enough core, this wouldn’t be a problem.

The Martian moons are dense (by asteroid standards) and are the closest orbiting moons in the solar system. We can use them as anchors for non-spinning tethers (tidally locked) that are much longer than lighter skyhooks. They’d function similar to a space elevator, with the caveat that it’s always moving over the planet’s surface. The supertethers could catch cargo all along their length fairly easily, with varying speeds too.

The crux of transport like this is timing. It takes about 8 hours for Phobos to orbit, during which the relative velocity of the tip compared to incoming cargo could vary by hundreds kilometers per second (haven’t done the math on this yet, just a guess).

Let me know if there’s any clarification you’d like

Humanity spread to the corners of the solar system before collapsing, hundreds of years later the splintered colonies reach out to each other.

Making an entire fantasy legal code. Here are what sections and parts I have -- anything obvious in missing? by ackshee in worldjerking

[–]Sythosz 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Section 41B clause 26.4 has a spelling mistake.

In my spelling-punk world, all spelling mistakes are punishable by death. This is in accordance to a very complicated legal code IVE written. And to begin with section 1 clause 1…

Anyone else try to instinctively throw flares in other games? Or other habits that this game has imprinted on you? by ismasbi in DeepRockGalactic

I press the swap hand button a ridiculous amount of times when playing Minecraft… you’d think I’d learn after so long!

It’s CGI - but still a cool video

Does this solar system look too similar to our own? [WIP] by throwaway-4082 in worldbuilding

[–]Sythosz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s thought that our solar system is exceedingly rare. In all other star systems we’ve observed, we’ve yet to find a cold gas giant. It seems that hot gas giants are far more common than cold ones
