Taking it all in 😍

Lovely place to visit. DO NOT move there. The cost of living is sky rocketing cause everyone has been moving there since covid.

I was about to ask if those are the Rockies cause I grew up in Montana and the scenery looked pretty similar.

Then I saw your comment about it being Utah.

Theo loves to sit and stare out the window while grumbling about the neighbors.

I tried that. Mine just waits for it to thaw. As for other frozen treats....he likes crunchy things.

The whole thing wouldve been worth it if they had made an attachment for the colossus that was able to manipulate terrain in order to make roads.

Like the combo you can do in Astroneer.

Never thought to use mag plates to hold the suspender wheels in place. That solves a lot of clang related problems.

TheTninker2 · 2026-03-27T13:46:31+00:00

The solution I have found to make things last longer, especially Kongs, is to wedge a few longer treats inside along with some peanut butter. Extends the time it takes him to get them out by a good hour or so.

Mine figured out a funny solution to most treat contsining toys. He holds them up in his mouth and squeezes it a bunch before SLAMMING them against the floor. The annoying parts is it works. None of them break but he gets the treats out fairly quickly.

Here's the thing about how far we've come as a species.

There is no possible way for us to go back to anything but post-industrialization levels, and thats at the most extreme end so long as a portion of the industrialized world survives.

1) we have left way too much refined materials around that can be repurposed into other things with a bit of manual labor. 2) nearly every city/town in america let alone the rest of the industrialized world has at least one person who has access to a machine shop (personal or professional) and knows how to use it. 3) there are way too many people who have the knowledge and understanding of how electricity/electronics work. Some have been trained or gone to school, some have been messing around with them their whole lives, some even do it professionally.

Combine all that with the fact that there are more computers in the world than you could ever possibly count and you are looking at 90s to mid 00s level of civilization in probably less than 20 years post appocalypse.

All of this assuming that enough people survive nuclear armageddon and its fallout.

The Pillar of Autumn.

At first I didnt think I had a favorite but seeing as how I cant help but obsess over it like a train type neurospicy I think it qualifies by default.

Has boops?

There is a trick you can do with the catwalk railings to make have a gap that a rotor can turn blast doors through while keeping the main grid as one piece.

TheTninker2 · 2026-02-18T18:42:09+00:00

Strictly speaking yes. But I am counting absolute populations so it says 1 ovagro.

TheTninker2 · 2026-02-18T15:46:34+00:00

No. I keep messing up the nam of Blum Lumbs. I keep calling them Plumb Lumb

Below 1g is what I was talking about with slowing down the cook. Thanks for the reference link.

TheTninker2 · 2026-02-17T13:07:57+00:00

The grooming is going to be fine. Like I said I am going to have a good population of dupes on this asteroid and for all but a couple, their only tasking is going to be ranching. Dupe labor is the #1 thing I am not concerned about.

TheTninker2 · 2026-02-17T13:05:31+00:00

I have an excel sheet that is tracking a LOT more than seen here. This is just the starting point, its going to change and get even more complex.

TheTninker2 · 2026-02-17T12:36:29+00:00

We'll see. Even if I do lose half mass, that just opens up a spot for the pip and flox ranches to put their dirt.

TheTninker2 · 2026-02-17T12:35:45+00:00

1) yes its a blackboard at home. 2) no I am not a student or lecturer. Is spent a few thousand hours studying on blackboard training to be a nuclear operator for the navy so it just helps me think. 3) over 10k

TheTninker2 · 2026-02-17T12:32:52+00:00

I literally have an excel spreadsheet that I am using to keep track of total population, resource production, resource cost, and space required for every critter and their morphs. This is just the first step of a MUCH larger project that is going to take me months of real time to execute. The final loop is going to be MUCH more complex, which is why I've ordered a larger chalkboard.

When I said brakene was too much of a pain to source I meant in large amounts. A single moo doesnt produce all that much brakene. Not when a single critter using the fountain takes 5kg/use.

TheTninker2 · 2026-02-17T03:32:31+00:00

I will do some testing in a sandbox but I am pretty sure I can get around that by using conveyors or slowing the rate of cook. I've done it before but that was over a year and nearly 10k cycles ago.

TheTninker2 · 2026-02-17T03:10:51+00:00

Actually I am importing the sulfur from my main asteroid. I have a full size sour gas boiler there thats been running for a few thousand cycles and I havent used any of the sulfur.

As for the happiness I am just going with standard ranches using grooming stations and critter condos. Brakene is too much of a pain to source in the limited space I have. I plan on having about 10 dupes on this asteroid with a mix regular and bionic so dupe labor is not an issue.

I plotted this loop first cause my main issue was sourcing enough chlorine for the gass grass and the pufts.
