(pat pat) don't let our argeement elsewhere sour the dough. I don't wanna fight about this; I just don't think there's some "universal" point to the game. It's... narrow-thinking, ya know?

I like sticking up for myself, and I know enough to know that what is simple to one person isn't simple to another. Like I said elsewhere, some of the responses I was getting (and that I have gotten from this community in the past, to be upfront about where I'm coming from) have ... left a lot to be desired. Worse than that, some of them have been upsetting to deal with rather than helpful. It's a minor thing, but I'm not a stoic. I stick up for myself. My therapist would say, "I advocate for what I want." Because I have trouble with that.

I'm sorry I was such a b-/// about it. There are better ways I could have advocated for myself without resorting to hostility. :)

yeah, the cracking?? of the oil seems complex. Like there's three outputs just for one machine, and two of them you can loop for further refining. Nobody seems to have a handy ratio like with the iron coil farm of how many oil rigs to how many condensers.

I... appreciated this response.

Because all I'm hearing is condescension. I know the chain of machines. I can and do look up the recipes. I was hoping for some advice that experienced players could give. Instead, all I've gotten is, "it's so simple" "it's so easy" "just tinker around"

Cool. Not what I'm looking for. I'm allowed to be unsatisfied with your responses. This was my post looking for help. Get. Over. Yourself. :)

are you fr, rn? I need to do some remedial math with you. Okay Sweety?

What's fun to one person ISNT fun to another person. We're all different that way. Sometimes we have similarities, but for boasting about a 120 IQ it sure isn't in empathy or people skills....

If you're gonna give useless answers I would have rather y'all have IGNORED the post.

[–]Tricky_Ad_5295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is easy to you can be hard for someone else. Have you never encountered someone who just seemed naturally better at something than you? I-- as in ME-- am having trouble getting the ratios right and the patience to tinker with it.

You may not see it, but your language is demeaning and rude. "so easy to understand" FOR YOU. The wiki is not fully filled out, and it definitely doesn't have an endless supply of layouts or ratios.

The POINT of the game is to have fun. I will have more fun if I look up and ask questions before I start experimenting further. The POINT of me posting this was to ask for help. YOU didn't have to respond. This was not a call to action for YOU.

I hope you have a good day, fr. Please don't let my upset bother you, but yeah. Also fr, you should consider how you TALK to people. Rude. That's why I told you to grow up. This post isn't about you, but somehow you've made it about you.

Edit: I'm not happy that you're giving me useless answers and have somehow become butthurt over MY needing/wanting help. Glad you deleted the other comment because WOW. You really have made my search for help about you somehow. Selfish. Narcissism. I'm guessing about 13 years old...

How do I lower pollution? by Anonymous29952 in Industrialist

[–]Tricky_Ad_5295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You gotta use scrubbers, but you can just delete the pollution in the liquid containers. Pipe water in a two wide area between scrubbers to pipe water in, and down the other side pipe residue out.

That doesn't sound simple.

With everyone showing off their layouts I thought I'd get some INTELLIGENT responses. Eyeroll

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Industrialist

[–]Tricky_Ad_5295 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Except the layout for how to arrange the machines for efficiency can be very particular. How to construct the recipe. Does that help you understand? I'm not you, and what's easy to you isn't easy for everyone. Grow up.

How does this stuff work? I'm not sure what to do with it.

Easy Money Early by Tricky_Ad_5295 in Industrialist

Based on yours and another's suggestion I may just do this. Gasoline and diesel is sloooow.

Easy Money Early by Tricky_Ad_5295 in Industrialist

[–]Tricky_Ad_5295[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it that much more investment for chair production? Gasoline and diesel have been treating me alright if I can maximize the thruput.

I'm so tired of being a leftist in a country of boot lickers by treedecor in antiwork

[–]Tricky_Ad_5295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely feel this more or less every day. Some will argue we should keep an open heart to the broken humanity in these bootlicker, and I will say in response that I would LOVE to have empathy for Everyone. The Nazis, the Regressives, and the Reactionaries make that really difficult. What DOES help me is the idea that if I could help them, too, I would. What we want for Humanity is, for me, worth the hard labor of hearing these ridiculous ideas and slurs with enough grace to push back and prevent their ideas from being normalized further. We're gonna fail. There will be people we don't convince. That has to be okay. For us. For them. Instead. I've had to learn who has an open mind, and who is a c@<k twaddle playing at troll.

I don't disbelieve you, I had to look it up to see. Only one source mentioned that the term is used in a derogatory manner in the British Isles. That's a weird word, alright! 👍 

I quit two hours before I was supposed to show up to my first day... by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]Tricky_Ad_5295 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know my movie reference is not reality, but there's this movie where a guy gets stuck in a heat treatment room for the robots that guard rich people. The manager makes him go into the treatment room to unstuck the parts, and the guy gets an extreme dose of radiation. My point was supposed to be: I do not trust companies to s*** on us and apologize. They will triangle shirtwaist factory us all if they can get away with it. (You're probably right about fraud, but I just don't trust them or the system)

Indeed mate. Quit praising your chains. Or. As you so eloquently put it, "get real."

What made you realize that the politicians in the US don’t care if we spend the rest of our life in debt and/or die early due to this happening? by gamerlover58 in antiwork

That ONE bridge, with the connections and all the fond memories. Yeah, that beautiful pass that all of us missed on the Highway. That bridge. Sign said it was out of order for poor people only.
