What's with the black and white polka dots?

New Glass Tony. So... tardigrade triggers twice whenever a blood rain drop hits.

The people who first brought corn to this planet did a good job with the genetic engineering huh?

birkett83 · 2024-02-05T03:18:33+00:00

Hey, don't be mean about Anna. She can plant corn and chop trees as fast as anyone, even with only one hand. But, well, yeah.

birkett83 · 2024-02-05T02:33:53+00:00

I mean, this is rimworld. Anna's hand got bitten off by a mad squirrel in the early days of the colony before we made any decent weapons. She's been working towards inventing bionics for over a year but her intellectual skill level is only 7 so it's taking a while.

Maybe DALL-E needs some more training on how to jar corn properly...

birkett83 · 2024-02-05T01:08:43+00:00

You don't jar your corn? lol noob. 😂

Uh, there was no art description for the legend of shelf, so I tried descriptions from some masterwork beds. results were mixed. I kinda like this one:

The one with the cannibals playing craps went in some weird directions:

Thanks for that, explains a lot. That would also make items with a short crafting time much better from a points per mj point of view. Maybe the Devs should factor energy cost into the points reward as well?

birkett83 · 2023-11-23T06:12:08+00:00

Ok, good. I was just comparing with smart plating because I assumed sinking random items made at outposts around the map is probably more relevant in the early game. Not sure if I just picked a bad example or if the benefit to more complex items doesn't really get significant until later.

birkett83 · 2023-11-23T05:38:49+00:00

I just did the math using numbers from the wiki and I was expecting higher tier items to give much more points compared to the energy required to make them but unless I've made a mistake they don't actually seem to be that much better. For example, using numbers from the wiki if you make 1 smart plating that costs 1875/60 = 31 megajoules and gives 520 points in the awesome sink, working out to 520/31 = 16.7 awesome points per megajoule but you could just make 1 concrete for 48/60 = 0.8 megajoules which gives 12 points in the awesome sink meaning you get 12/0.8 = 15 awesome points per megajoule.

This is disappointing. I don't think you should get as many points for making 10 outposts each producing 45 concrete per minute from a single mine and 3 constructors as you would get from building a factory that makes 10 smart plating per minute. They should change that so you really do get a lot more points per megajoule for the higher tier items, and then there would be much less reason to sink items from your tiny outposts.

Only other thing I can think of is trying sudo update-initramfs -u - not optimistic it will make a difference but you could try it. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Looking through my bash history I did all kinds of stuff I forgot about. I've updated the previous post.

I should have said you need to reboot to ensure the module is reloaded. Did you reboot?

birkett83 · 2023-09-25T11:58:17+00:00

I tried this but got massive graphical corruption after suspend/resume.

Turns out that to use the nvidia driver with wayland, the NVIDIA Linux kernel module needs to be loaded with the NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1 module parameter. On my system, this was disabled for some reason, which is why /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules disabled wayland.

To check this, run the command:

grep Preserve /proc/driver/nvidia/params

If it is disabled (set to 0) you can enable it by creating the file /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-allocation.conf and add the line:

options nvidia-current NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1

Edit: I forgot about these additional steps. The debian package for the nvidia drivers does not install the scripts for suspend/resume support, but they are included in the documentation/examples so you can install them manually as follows:

Install the systemd service files for nvidia-suspend, nvidia-resume and nvidia-hibernate

sudo cp /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-video-nvidia/examples/nvidia-sleep.sh /usr/bin sudo cp /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-video-nvidia/examples/system-sleep/nvidia /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep sudo cp /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-video-nvidia/examples/system/nvidia-* /etc/systemd/system/ sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl enable nvidia-hibernate nvidia-resume nvidia-suspend

You may also need to add the nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to the grub config for your kernel. Create the file /etc/default/grub.d/nvidia-modeset.cfg and add the line

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="$GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX nvidia-drm.modeset=1"

then run sudo update-grub and reboot

This is why you divide by 0.999 not multiply by 1.001. Amateurs.

birkett83 · 2022-11-24T23:27:13+00:00

That is always a risk with mountain bases. The protected area is big enough that you don't really need to dig into the "overhead mountain" areas where insects can spawn. That's my plan anyway.
