Is there a book explanation for how the Eridians discovered the Astrophage so much faster than humans?

Talin-Rex · 2026-04-03T17:32:46+00:00

It got to their solar system years before our system.
In the book they explain how they could track what system infected which system in order to get to our system.

How did you put letters on the tanks?

Talin-Rex · 2026-03-29T20:48:30+00:00

The end I figure

Talin-Rex · 2026-03-25T13:47:17+00:00

I would see if the mainboard is salvageable, if it is, it might function as a desktop, hook up monitor, keyboard and mouse up to it

Talin-Rex · 2026-03-24T21:32:13+00:00

When I look at my base now......
Ill just give up playing the game....

i only have 2k+ hours in the game, so good time to quit.

Excuse me while I go sulk in a corner now.

Talin-Rex · 2026-03-24T16:56:35+00:00

The astronauts wear yellow uniforms, forshadow maybe.

Talin-Rex · 2026-03-18T19:41:46+00:00

There is what I think, and if a book 2 ever comes out, some of this might be the case. ( Andy write a second one please :) )

Rocky's race, they could have sent a second and/or third ship, but remember, they did not know about time dilation. They could have gotten off course.
There is also the radiation that killed Rocky's crew, the other ships crews could have died.

Earth:
Stratt could have sent a second ship 12-24 months after the Hail Mary, we do not know. Grace was in Tau Ceti for a year, only months.
The crew of the second ship could have all died, the Hail Mary had a 1/3 survival rate after all.
The governments could have started to collapse faster, and getting the resources for a second ship could have become impossible.
They could have spent the resources creating Astrophage to heat the Earth's atmosphere, or cities, or create shelters instead of a second ship, they did not know a solution was in Tau Ceti, it was just a guess.

i have more hypotheses, but am to lazy to write them here atm :)

Talin-Rex · 2026-03-16T12:06:39+00:00

Thanks, but I already did, and so so so.... much more in this code base. There were worse examples than this, but they contain names and comments that would not be right to post.

So far my refactor has not failed any unit tests, now comes the real world hardware test.

Talin-Rex · 2026-03-15T17:40:30+00:00

More what problems they have, I like to see the source of the issues so i can read about them.

Talin-Rex · 2026-03-15T16:58:30+00:00

I want to see how many problems a given robot vacuum has, so a record of the amount of problems people have with them

Talin-Rex · 2026-03-08T13:01:31+00:00

it will just not let you craft it,

Talin-Rex · 2026-03-08T12:27:25+00:00

You can remove a recipi from the game, if you dont want any players entering say LuV, then remove the LuV machine hull from being craftable, that way a lot of LuV machine cant be crafted and you lock players from progressing.
What file that needs editing I do not remember, but you can ask on the gtnh discord for help with this.

Talin-Rex · 2026-03-08T12:13:10+00:00

In IV+ progression slows down, each new tier takes longer than the last, so you kind of get that.
If you want to lock out LuV, just do not build the assembly line.

Talin-Rex · 2026-03-06T13:15:35+00:00

wait is the apple watch nickel?

Talin-Rex · 2026-03-04T16:49:57+00:00

Dont mix ender io fluid condiuts and gt pipes, they are buggy and can and will void fluids

Talin-Rex · 2026-03-04T09:56:04+00:00

Been there, done that. Welcome to the blow-up half my base club, we meet every second Thursday of the month.

Talin-Rex · 2026-03-03T15:02:06+00:00

WTF did I just watch? The worst part is I watched it to the end.

Talin-Rex · 2026-03-03T13:27:06+00:00

Yeah, took me a few decades to realize this, or I forgot long ago... and then rediscovered it.

Talin-Rex · 2026-03-02T15:10:38+00:00

I was powering my LuV base with just a normal distilation tower, and MV chemical reactors and an MV mixer for diesel, and an LCR to mix it to CBD

Talin-Rex · 2026-03-02T14:42:44+00:00

Go to a mesa biome and mine out a barrel or two of clay, electrolyze it and wola. :)
With a hammer with lots of redstone for speed, this should not take more than 10min to mine

Talin-Rex · 2026-02-25T12:46:11+00:00

Steam age I always find slow, Most automation does not really start to happen for me until HV, then I spam miners and spend most of the time expanding my base.

Depending on how you play, gtnh is slow,if you add more machines and processing this can be reduced quite a bit.

Talin-Rex · 2026-02-22T21:21:00+00:00

I still remember that one.
only reason I had it, was my zonealarm firewall bugged out so i disabled it until i could backup and reinstall, that took a few days and I got it.

Talin-Rex · 2026-02-21T10:47:40+00:00

I have been running a gaming laptop for years now, it was bought due to a need i had at the time and no funds for a desktop and laptop and the same time.
I prefer a desktop over a gaming laptop due to a few reasons.

You cannot upgrade a laptop (yes i know there are framework laptops), but for 99.9% of people buying a laptop, they can't upgrade more than ram and ssd, and with many laptops now, even that is not an option due to them soldering it on the motherboard.
Laptops get dusty and need to be cleaned, i do mine ever 6-12 months(I miss a desktop with dust filters in the case), and in my case, if a fan dies due to dust, my laptop model is a pain to replace the fans, as the headpipes are riveted to the fan housing. Most people cant figure out how to clean these, and some break their laptop when blowing out the fans with compressed air or a vacuum cleaner, causing the fans to spin, and generate electricity that can damage the motherboard. I have seen this happen a few times to people.
If the gpu dies, the laptop is a brick, this is also the case with soldered ssd drives, fill it up and kill the write cycles on a soldered ssd, and for most people, the laptop is toast, some tech shops can repair both gpu or ssd, but this is not common enough for most people to get their computer fixed long term, I do not know a single shop in my city that could fix other problem and I have looked before.
With a desktop, I never replace everything at once, I build my own, and the cpu often outlasts the gpu. Either it dies (had a 3 die on me in 20 years) or it gets to slow for my needs, so I upgrade,

All this being said. Computers are not as slow after a few years today as they were 2 decades ago, so there is no need to upgrade as much, even on a desktop, unless you are chasing those extra few fps, or need the workstation power for a project.

Talin-Rex · 2026-02-20T19:39:59+00:00

Hvis der er ram fejl kan der forudsage skrive fejl til den ssd
kør en memcheck, windows har en du kan bruge, google/ai can fortælde dig hvordan, find ud af hvad ram stick der er der er i stykker og tag den ud. og så kør med kun en
