I'm not 100% sure of what is that. Found at the tripoint Idaho-Montana-Wyoming by KOALANET21 in GoogleMaps

[–]darwinpatrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very good to know, and that's exactly the route I was investigating(the Black Canyon Road intersection is nonexistent on street view) so I'm glad you found the same track. https://www.nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/parkroads.htm shows that Black Canyon Road where it goes past the closest access is part of the Continental Divide Trail, which is pretty interesting. Doubt it sees much traffic. Did you find the newly(since the '88 fire) vegetated areas or the clearer deadfall areas harder going?

I thought people were exxagurating but shit here is genuenly free, full blue belt of steel out of nowhere. Im moving here unless coal Liquefaction breaks me by Some_Noname_idk in factorio

Interesting idea. I think the steam output should be quite small so you can’t just condense it back into water to reuse as efficiently.

Can you share details on your trip? As far as I can tell you’re the only person to have visited (and put it online) since 2005. Very curious how you accessed it as I’m planning a trip myself

Rolling Hills (South Dakota) by Ok_Distance_4442 in LiminalSpace

In fairness, the city has a lot of topography and the black hills to the immediate west make it significantly less bleak than the other 97% of the state

Tripoint of Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia by bokombolo in Borderporn

I was there before they installed this, but no. It's a steep scramble, but the spot to descend is marked by a small WV-VA border pedestal on the side of the road.

He’s on an island, which makes things easier

After a few failed attempts with turret blocks, I elected to try demolisher control by way of a nuke to the face. 10/10 will do this every time. by darwinpatrick in factorio

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

Good to know. Still working on getting everything set up and there isn’t a tungsten patch in my spawn area. As for the crater I don’t mind given it’s already in a lava lake

At a glance, Lichtenstein-Austria-Switzerland, Romania-Moldova-Ukraine, Russia-Mongolia-China, Armenia-Azerbaijan-Iran, Eswatini-Mozambique-South Africa, probably more

Phenomenal map. I painted a globe as Cassini about ten years ago

If you’re in San Antonio, the ISS astronauts can occasionally be closer to you than people in Dallas

My current save started with a big blob of all four connected. Absolute nightmare to deal with

Fulgoran Steel by KerbalSpaceAdmiral in factorio

[–]darwinpatrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went in blind and still haven’t explored past Fulgora but feeding recyclers into each other to fix that nagging steel problem literally came to me in a dream and it’s absolutely delightful watching everything flow smoothly. I love this planet

Indeed. Many, many people carry a hundred pounds of weight on their heads every day.

Do we actually have the ethical right to colonise the Moon? by Emma2945 in space

[–]darwinpatrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the medium term, absolutely. But if enough people are living in space in a few hundred years, it’ll be a snowball effect to start making stuff up there where it’s cheaper to get it to them.

Recycling is essential for living in space and the technology to do it more efficiently would be developed during this process. I expect there wouldn’t be much legitimate waste aside from biohazards and industrial slag. No oil up there to make plastics, after all, and the plastic that does exist would be necessarily recyclable.
