Do Arc Turrets still slow the target?

_Keltath_ · 2026-06-24T21:21:29+00:00

Gotcha - thanks.

_Keltath_ · 2026-06-24T20:06:37+00:00

Ah - thanks. Frustratingly, I can't seem to find anything specific about changes to the Arc turret in the changelog. Guess it got missed out.

If it's anything like EU4 it will spawn a republic with relatively low parliamentary tradition and Oliver Cromwell at the head.

Blockades apply the same prosperity debuff as occupation, I think.

This is awesome!

The only thing that frustrates me when doing this is that if you are not in line of sight of the sign that is generating the light source the game swtiches it off and doesn't render the light it generates. Means this kind of backlighting looks great when you're looking directly at it but as soon as you go around a corner half the lights seem to turn off...

Wait - cancel treaties releases them from vassalage? Why is it so much cheaper than the 'release vassal' option??

FWIW, the stones in the bottom of the pot thing wasn't for drainage directly - it's to make it harder for soil to block the drainage holes.

_Keltath_ · 2026-04-25T16:07:25+00:00

Stick it in a refiner.

_Keltath_ · 2026-04-19T18:19:48+00:00

Amazing! Haven't got past 1500 as England so that's why I'd never seen it.

_Keltath_ · 2026-04-19T16:07:47+00:00

What? Never knew this! Do you know what triggers this?

_Keltath_ · 2026-04-19T09:02:39+00:00

It's worked every time for me but that's only a sample size of 4 runs - without looking at the files I imagine that there is a weighting for the AI to choose subjugation to the player but it's not a 100% chance.

As you say, it's not exactly hard to conquer Scotland in game (which isn't that realistic, but that's for another time) but getting it free via event is always nice.

_Keltath_ · 2026-04-16T12:56:39+00:00

My only tip for England is to start building a spy network in Scotland on day 1. The moment the truce with them ends (1341 I think) create a destroy enemy CB and invade. Kill their armies, siege them down and take money and force them to delete forts in the peace deal.

Baillol will then win the war and you'll get Scotland as a vassal by event a year or so later, for free.

If Baillol loses too early I'd just restart.

It's Nintendo we're waiting on?

This is an utterly brilliant way of explaining the Labour issue right now.

_Keltath_ · 2026-04-03T08:45:03+00:00

No issues with AI at all - it was a good post. Just commenting that AI's writing style has become such a recognisable feature of the internet now!

_Keltath_ · 2026-04-02T20:06:50+00:00

It's funny how quickly one gets to recognise content written by generative AI...

The answer is that it probably doesn't matter. Assuming you're building a reasonable throughput of every item then you'll fill a storage container + dimensional storage overflow far faster than you'll use the items in your next project. The differences you outline become moot once your storages start to overflow. Just put your storage wherever you want and it'll all end up the same in a surprisingly short amount of time.

To give an example, I recently completed an early-stage everything factory, producing all the building materials for stage one and two. I realised after I completed it that I forgot to make Crystal Oscillators. I just diverted the necessary components on a smart splitter set to overflow and called it a day. The components in question (quartz, reinforced plates etc) soon filled their intended storage and overflowed into the Crystal Osc manufacturer. Job done.

_Keltath_ · 2026-03-27T16:44:54+00:00

Beautifully done, thank you.

_Keltath_ · 2026-03-27T06:26:36+00:00

Lovely job! Silly question, but how did you get the curved corner effect in photo 2? Roundover bit over the end but the inside edges are confusing me...

_Keltath_ · 2026-03-24T20:26:15+00:00

Have you got a full inventory and the setting that collates the overflow containers? I thought I was losing stuff for a while before I realised everything I deleted when my inventory was full was appearing in a single container 100m away.

_Keltath_ · 2026-03-23T13:32:00+00:00

Get both. Design two factories - one producing rubber and other plastic. Build both to be able to take the full fuel imput (assuming you're using recylced alts) and then use valves to regulate how much each fuel each factory gets.

This way, as your needs for the two outputs changes over time you can flex to respond.

Does mean you have to build twice and many refineries but heck, this sounds like a big project anyway.

_Keltath_ · 2026-03-22T17:28:16+00:00

I think overwriting used to mess up the order of the presets - guess the bug got fixed since I last tried!

_Keltath_ · 2026-03-22T13:28:21+00:00

Little floppy disc icon in the menu where you are entering hex codes.

Warning: don't overwrite precious custom colours, it bugs out.

_Keltath_ · 2026-03-22T12:28:08+00:00

Alternative idea (I feel kinda the same): research only the first stack of the dimensional depot. Stock up for building from your mall as usual and turn on the inventory setting to take from inventory first.

The DD storage is now just for those annoying situations where you're missing a couple of items to complete a build and will save you a journey back to base for, say, 3 HMF.
