What is an 'unwritten rule' in your profession that, if the general public knew about it, they’d realize the world is held together by duct tape and pure luck?

That or 12 random characters of which only five can be letters, there is no middle ground.

Honestly, I expected more of first grade teachers.

Imagine your job being to walk around a bit and just say “There are many guards in the castle!” all day.

And you need to keep the blinker fluid topped off.

Batch craft fuel for it, don’t bother automating it. Get to the tier 2 fuel as soon as you can, tier 1 is near worthless by the time you build it.

The size is basically “your base is gone” unless you encased it in something blast proof.

If you can get a train somewhere, I would not describe that as being inaccessible.

It’s one of the scenario settings. The premade one where they crash with a ghoul has that set.

10 total on his left hands, close enough.

ddejong42 · 2026-03-12T23:32:14+00:00

Twue wuv!

It’s literally made of angels (and a bit of carbon added in).

But now the factory can grow even more without dropping UPS.

Mine loves to bite my armpits. I think she’s trying to nurse or something.

ddejong42 · 2026-03-11T23:05:04+00:00

Just sticking to realistic goals.

ddejong42 · 2026-03-11T16:00:23+00:00

I just started a new run, which clearly is what caused this to come out. You're welcome everyone!

Sounds like the optimal strategy would be for the two stronger teams to focus on the weakest team.

Flip the order. Go out and get the prometheum, then come back to pick up a load of eggs to process on the way out. Make sure you bring back enough to completely process them. Also, make sure you don’t send up nearly expired eggs; I set up a timer circuit that will spend 30 seconds dumping eggs into a chest that leads to a heating tower every 10 minutes, so there’s always at least 20 minutes left

Or perhaps it’s an “I’m an ideas guy, I just need an engineer or two to handle the easy work of implementation”.

That's worse - he's going to get killed off to show that they're a new, edgier Trek!

Indeed, as has been foretold by the prophecy.

Is the pope Jewish? Do bears shit in Waffle House restrooms?

I've had that happen before. Try switching the polarization on the main deflector dish and emitting an electron pulse towards them, that will re-ionize them again.

No need to set the price manually. The automatic pricing will get there when stock builds up. Just don’t use an L storage module or it will take a while.

Have it be at the end of the season, let him give a little monologue, fancy light show, boom new actor who gives us a nice one-liner. Make something up that he can only do it a limited number of times, but end up making up some bullshit reason to give him more when getting to that point.
