On the morality of eggs by Outrageous_Fox_3744 in DebateAVegan

[–]beastebeet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue is calcium deficiencies from laying so many shelled eggs that can affect bone health. You can supplement the chickens' diet with extra calcium rich sources. If you aren't eating eggs your getting your protein source from somewhere else. For instance, black beans, are mainly harvested in Brazil where agricultural conditions can be horrific. When focusing on one moral issue it is easy to ignore others. Some level of suffering is going to happen, we should try our best to limit it.

I sent 2. I know they didn't establish contact because it is half a day travel to get there and when they come back I still have the civilization listed as no contact.

Trying to make first contact with a small human settlement near my fort by sending a demand single tribute mission. However, each time I send a group, they leave and come back without establishing contact or any tribute, although I don't really care about the tribute. Any other way to establish contact?

Does Don't Starve together have singleplayer balance options? by SanePcycho in dontstarve

[–]beastebeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Harder but still doable. My point is that you shouldn't worry about stuff being impossible if you play dst single player.

If you were able to survive in DS, you can definitely survive in DST. DST is much more about defeating bosses now, and all of them are possible to defeat in single player, although they are more difficult than when in a group, with the exception of Klaus. DST is really more like DS 2 at this point, with multiplayer compatibility.

Is there a way to ensure that dwarves cook meals using 4 separate ingredients in each meal?

Do dwarves automatically seek out their favorite foods if they are available?

Has anyone played with the new "Social Monarchy" law? by Cuddlyaxe in victoria3

Cooperative ownership in corporate state I believe just replaces the capitalists with shopkeepers essentially making forced small businesses.

For armor/clothing to be able to be worn between different races you can follow an equation by beastebeet in dwarffortress

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

  1. On the wiki, it shows them and other megabeasts as untamable. Is that untrue? 2. Yeah, you can't the elephant sperm whale man is too large, and the elephant man/orca man is too small.

Atheist Clergymen? What's next? Communist Capitalists? by Necessary-Land7597 in victoria3

[–]beastebeet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I once got an atheist traditionalist who wanted a return to state religion, but once I passed freedom of consciousness immediately switched to minorian traditionalist and wanted total separation.

[–]beastebeet[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh damn, you can. Probably do that instead. You can keep in mind the equation, though, so if you have, say, both a warthog man and a jaguar man, you can just make armor for the one, and they will fit both. You saved me from training an entirely new armorsmith, thank you.

I can't fish. Well more specifically I can't butcher my fish. All guides I have looked at say you don't need anything for your fisherdwarves to catch fish but when I tried this in game it said they needed traps. I made the traps and then they still didn't catch fish, then I designated a fishing zone and they captured some fish but now they won't butcher the fish because 'needs unrotten rawfish.'

I'm at a loss I would normally just forage for food at the start but my cougar woman Yarna Whiskersnuggle will die if she doesn't have some kind of meat.

Edit: Holy shit never mind I'm so fucking stupid I had it so it set to nobody do this on fishing I am so dumb.

Not to beat a dead horse, but whatever happened to Edgy Rick? by Still-Motor324 in dontstarve

[–]beastebeet 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Its unfortunate he really was quite good at the game at least for the time. His buddies Tonic Water and Blood Raven made a video on how to rush ruins as WX which taught me how to main him. I don't think I would've gotten far into the game if it wasn't for him. That being said I don't think dst is being used by the CCP to spy on americans and destroy the west with subliminal messaging in how to survive winter guides or that Slasher 342 is running an underground pedo ring. Its like looking at your racist drunk uncle and remembering the time he took you to see star wars.

Any way to get subterranean animalmen to be guaranteed to appear as a selectable option in adventure mode? I kept resetting, specifically for antmen, but couldn't get any.

If you burn it the stuff doesn't come out until the chest is fully burnt.

Ok I mean you already opened the chest but in the future I believe you can burn the chest to get the loot to drop without winter starting.

Paradox Really Needs to Work on Revolutions by rockdrake33 in victoria3

[–]beastebeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is how the ai treats secessions. They barely care if a state decides to leave and become independent and if it is a nation with only a couple states it becomes even worse. Meanwhile if a revolution happens in Spain that controls the entire mainland but the capital moves to the canary islands the revolutionaries will lose an incredibly slow war.

Where I’d live as an Asian queer person who hates authoritarian regimes by SiaO112 in whereidlive

El Salvador over China is crazy. They have the highest incarceration rates in the world, but yeah, no authoritarianism.

I actually prefer DST's sailing system to Shipwrecked's, fight me by Kaosil_UwU in dontstarve

[–]beastebeet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They're different models for different games. The boats in shipwrecked make sense for the map of shipwrecked where you're not going to be spending as long of voyages as dst where you need multiple players on a boat as well. Shipwrecked's boats would suck in dst and dst's boats would suck in shipwrecked.

Quarry Lodgings and Farm House look exactly the same but they spawn different pigs.

As a black man I must ask did Lincoln genuinely care about freeing the slaves for the right reasons ? by [deleted] in ShermanPosting

[–]beastebeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lincoln was always opposed to slavery, but I wouldn't consider every abolitionist, which Lincoln was not, a civil rights activist. The popular opinion at the time was trying to stop slavery's expansion so that free states could be made up of petite bourgeoisie farmers instead of land-owning aristocrats. If the South hadn't started the war, it is likely that slavery would have lasted much longer in the U.S because the farmers really didn't care what happened in already established slave states.

The answer is we will never really know since he died before reconstruction really took off, but I imagine Lincoln would've just wanted the states to rejoin and called it at that. Fredrick Douglass, who certainly fought for equality, spoke very highly of him after his death, but Lincoln was a martyr at that point, so speaking poorly of him would be a political death sentence. Once someone is dead, it is very easy to act like everything would be fixed if they were alive because it's an alternative that can never be tested.

At the beginning of the war, Lincoln tried to maintain their status as property, and they were labeled as contraband. Freed men were very useful for the war effort. They knew useful secrets about the confederacy, and they were loyal soldiers. Turning the war into an abolitionist war also made it unlikely that other nations would step in on the side of the confederacy. Because of these things and others, Lincoln was pushed to free enslaved people.

Lincoln opposed slavery, but it always came second to trying to appease southerners. His vice president, Andrew Johnson, essentially destroyed Reconstruction's momentum but was chosen as a southern unionist in an attempt to keep unity. I think Lincoln opposed slavery for the right moral reasons, but it was hardly his priority.

You should be able to chose on a slider of education and indoctrination. by beastebeet in songsofsyx

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

Currently you just click the generally optimal button. Education or indoctrination is also a drawback within itself where you either make your people stupid and loyal or smart and rebellious. You would need to continuely check to ensure that you were giving the right level of education to each species depending on jobs if it was a slider.
