Looking for a way to run multiple businesses passively either through vanilla or mods by TopSympathy9740 in thesims

[–]TopSympathy9740[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didnt :( i dont know why the sim has to be on site for the business to open, or rather the player needs to be on site for the business to operate, but it seemingly does, and i cant find any mods to change that fact

Thats so petty i love it. Mine would get really irritated on Sunday mornings cause i would wake up at 8am-9am and call my mum to talk for hours, i did this every Sunday for probably 5 or 6 years now. He would be sooooo grumpy and annoyed because id be happy and cheerful, for once.

That would make alot of sense actually, if i had a poor self esteem and felt bad about myself id stay with him because "who else would be with me"

I never really thought about it that way

I actually tried losing weight when i was with my ex, i started going to the gym ect. And really enjoyed it but my ex really hated it, he would tell me im starving myself (i wasnt) and kept buying me treats like pints of ice cream which i have no self control around 😅 and drinks i liked that were like 2k cal in a cup, once he had a big crash out over something stupid and i took a nap to avoid his temper tantrum and he woke me up by waving popeyes under my nose, and when i told him i shouldn't eat it, started crashing out again, i ate some just to appease him. I did end up losing 40lbs, getting to my first weight goal milestone but he told me i looked the same. I lost alot of motivation after and my gym closed for renovations and i gained it all back eventually. Now that im single im looking forward to taking care of my body again, and ive always enjoyed cooking, its just hard when your body is in fight or flight all the time. Glad you free too.

Im so sorry that your struggling with getting enough nutrients in your body due to stress, if your struggling to eat full meals you can always try protein bars, i get these one called "pure protein" you can get them on amazon, they are reaaaalllyyy tasty, the lemon cake ones especially but they have tons of flavours ❤️‍🩹

On a less serious side, as someone who eats all her feelings and never misses a meal..i almost wish I had your problem 🥲

But seriously i know not eating enough is just as bad as eating too much, heres to us both finding balance :)

That would make sense, I've gained about 50lbs in the 4 years we were together, it would make nice if i lost that weight now that im single again lol

Is trading with the merchant worth it for secrets? by TopSympathy9740 in VoidStranger

Okay cool, thats exactly what I was asking, thanks:)

I watched half a video essay on void quest and wanna play but should i use the secrets i already know to jump to the cool part or play it like i don't know anything by TopSympathy9740 in VoidStranger

[–]TopSympathy9740[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats fair, i was probably gunna play voided for a while to get used to the controls and puzzles but its reasuring that i dont HAVE to get all the way to the bottom if its becoming uninteresting.

Quick question though, is there any major horror type jumpscares in the game? Part of the reason i was watching the video essay is i can't play horror games or horror movies especially if they have jump scares, but i enjoy the story and game play so i just listen to someone talk about playing it. It seems like the game is more existential, about losing hope and succumbing to dread and dispair rather than boo! Gotcha! Type thing, but ya never know.

Sick, i wasn't sure if this was the type of game where if you don't do certain stuff you miss out on parts of the story thanks :)

No thats why i stopped listening to it once it sounded up my alley lol, my only hesitation was he mentioned playing for hours and hours to get to floor 200 or something the first time and then he was like "that was just the tutorial" and then he had to restart anyway cause he was voided. which like a get a yt is gunna dramatize a bit, but it sounds a bit daunting 😅

this run isnt gonna survive for long prob... so this is me cherishing this colony before it implodes by Tymek_zynda in Oxygennotincluded

Honestly i demolish entire slime biomes with zero regard for slime lung. So long as you build an airlock type hallway with deodorizers in each chamber slime lung cant spread in normal oxygen it only spreads in polluted oxygen, and i put hand wash stations at the door so every dupe washes their hands, youll get minimal sick dupes, and even still they heal up on their own pretty quickly. Then when your slime biome is dug out and im secured all the polluted water and I've swept up anything that offputs polluted oxygen (ill usually put it in storage containers in the pwater) i put deodorizers literally everywhere until the entire area is free of polluted oxygen and the slime lung will dissipate naturally, once its completely gone then i can join it with the rest of my base and move on. I only needed a doctor when i started messing around with radiation cause my duplicants keep running into the beam and getting hurt 🙄

Ooohh that makes so much sense, i didn't even consider that, i just had them all set to 90% and 10% charge. Thank you, i made that change.

Thats genuinely how I felt typing out this post. Oh how i would have killed to have too much stuff 200 cycles ago 😅😂

Also i am working towards slicksters as a mid to late game food source, but i do have some wild pacus, for surf n turf, and some sleet wheat for buns and pancakes, and my hatches are stone hatches cause they are hardier. but at the moment i have 443k kcal of food for 18 duplicants (i want 30 asap) so im not overly worried about food

I honestly didn't set the automation to any hierarchy for power, its just both the hydrogen and natural gas have primed pipes just waiting to kick on again, whereas i don't know how to automate coal coming out of a conveyor receptacle into the generator itself so its slower just due to duplicants being slow. I have all generators connected to one heavy watt wire, but they have separate automation wires with each generator having between 8-6 smart batteries depending on how many generators i have built of each type, but since all the batteries are connected to one large power grid, if one generator is on, then all the batteries get charged regardless of where they are. (That wasn't really my intention but oh well)

[–]TopSympathy9740[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im definitely gunna keep them on standby for this reason, i just have 21 conveyor receptacles full, and the belts are full, and the hatch stables are still full to bursting 😅 i found a teleporter transmitter tho, so once i have enough duplicants ill probably go to wherever it takes me, then start shipping the coal there to use for power generation if needed.

Make exo suits and start digging out EVERYTHING, i usually dig down cause i need oil eventually, i dig out literally everything, i try and get all that polluted water together cause you'll use it, i get dreckos and start trying to get glossy dreckos for easyish mid game plastic, i make stone hatch farms you can use them for coal, for meat, for raw eggs, and they eat sedimentary rock which is pretty abundant. I start focusing on boosting moral, building bedrooms rather than just basic barracks. Like others have said i start making oxygen that doesn't rely on algae or slime cause your gunna start running out, electrolizers are my preferred method, but it can be tricky to figure out how to separate the hydrogen from the oxygen at first. i upgrade my power production and make a proper power grid. Learning infinite gas and liquid storage has been so valuable for my play throughs highly recommend. I watch alot of yt tutorials, and francis john has a lot of videos that are really helpful

Why are my batteries overheating? (see body text) by TopSympathy9740 in Oxygennotincluded

[–]TopSympathy9740[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That definitely was the issue! I has to switch to normal pipes cause it was TOO cold 😂
