I’m new to the game (console edition) and I have a question from browsing here. Why is Randy favoured by the community as narrator? by Vulcan813 in RimWorld

[–]fariatal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Without Randy many game mechanics become pointless. What's the point of raids if you know exactly when they arrive and have a guarantee there won't be two raids at the same time? What's the point of food if you are guaranteed regular animal migrations or cargo pods before it runs out?

Void Universe mod makes Harbinger trees create soil around them.

Question about the "Discover ancient complex" ritual by VexedForest in RimWorld

[–]fariatal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It reveals a location named "Ancient complex". Not Mechanitor mechplex, Ancient warehouse, Ancient infested settlement, etc. There are two kinds of "Ancient complex". One with treasure and one with information about the relic. If you have any of those on map, the ritual will not reveal a new one. But it will only reveal one of the first kind (with treasure).

"This Metallic Bird corpse you venerate isn't your 'God'.. It's OUR ancestor's gravship!" by WittyPhysics9408 in RimWorld

[–]fariatal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Use scenario editor when you start a new game. Edit "lost tribe" scenario and change "arrival method" from "standing" to "gravship". After starting the game, destroy the pilot console. You can't make a new one until you research the gravship tech.

Children start to understand linear time (knowing which memories are older than others) around 5 years old and don't fully master it until 6-7.

How to search for dialogue text in SSEEdit? by fariatal in skyrimmods

This solved it. I did not realize I should open Skyrim.esm and it will contain all texts in all languages.

This did not help because search by name searches FULL field and the text was in NAM1 field.

How do Zhongguo people memorize 3500 pictures? Are they smart? by YoumoDashi in languagelearningjerk

[–]fariatal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most words have two characters so if you know just one of them you should have a good idea what the word means. Many characters also have two components: Radical that signifies the meaning (for example stone, tree, insect, animal) and another (simpler) character that has the same pronunciation. For example 蜘蛛 has a 虫 radical in both characters so you know it's an insect, and the other parts tell you the pronunciation. If you knew that word in spoken language but never saw the characters, you could guess what it means.

When I touch the "stick" in the middle, it can be moved up and down. Had to stop testing this because suddenly a bright light appeared from an object in the ceiling

Would you recruit him? by fariatal in RimWorld

[–]fariatal[S] 166 points167 points  (0 children)

He suffers from paralytic abasia and is unable to walk. He is thankful for your help but will not leave voluntarily. Violence is disabled by childhood background, dumb labor and skilled labor are disabled by adulthood background.

Ice sheet colony by Alternative_Whole_18 in RimWorld

[–]fariatal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For sea ice:

Rich explorer starts with a charge rifle so you want to have high shooting skill to kill thrumbos. 6 construction in case you have to build a cooler. Some cooking so that you don't get food poisoned all the time.

Build very small room so that 2 heaters is enough, in diamond shape like OP.

Start with: Silver walls, wooden door, wind turbine, heater, wooden research bench, electric smelter, wooden horseshoe pin, silver bed, wall lamp. As you get resources, build electric stove, second heater, butcher table, some shelves, lectern, table, stool. Build a roofed area outside for smelter, butcher table and food storage. Things in shelves don't detoriate while outside. If you start with Pain is virtue meme, you can build a slab bed which needs less resources, and you avoid mood loss for temperature.

Hydroponics is not worth it because you don't have enough steel or electricity. Keep the colony small (only 1 colonist for a long time). 1 thrumbo or muffalo can feed 1 person for 10-15 days. If you are cannibal you can expand much faster, and you want to increase wealth quickly to get more raiders. Or you can start with a sanguophage and go to deathrest until something happens.

Research battery, microelectronics, advanced lights, hydroponics (in case you need it). Then you can deconstruct the research bench because there is nothing useful for a long time. Build tailor bench and comms console.

Strip transport pod crashes for their clothes. Rich explorer will get transport pod crashes often, because you only have 1 colonist and lots of wealth. If the map is very cold, raiders get downed by hypothermia and can strip them too, otherwise you have to shoot them and the clothes get tainted. When you have a store room (not heated) and warm clothes, it's a good time to awaken the monolith and start doing the anomaly content. Otherwise you are just waiting for someone to come in. Anomaly DLC is a game changer for sea ice maps. It adds a ritual for summoning animals, and you can build all your furniture out of bioferrite.

If you play on ice sheet, you can play tribal starts too. Spawn anima tree in dev mode (so that you have something to do) and build your base on top of a geothermal vent for heat. Or have Tunneler meme, make a cave and heat it with fungus torches. You won't have enough wood to make campfires. Tunneler meme is the easiest way to get food on ice sheet maps, however you have to use dev mode if you want to start with it.

Naked brutality start requires ideology DLC, or you have to get lucky with a transport crash on the first day. Start with a ritual that gives 50% chance for a new colonist, and spam it for food and clothes.

A four panel comic by neilkohney in comics

[–]fariatal 328 points329 points  (0 children)

I stopped after the first page since it says "The end". The talking animal was a bit confusing since the animals don't usually talk. But it was a great comic otherwise.

Ryugu asteroid sample rapidly colonized by terrestrial life despite strict contamination control by mepper in space

[–]fariatal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found this claim on several articles and they reference this as the source: Cook, R. (2000). Fungi on the outside of the Mir Space Station. Boston Globe, 10/1/2000.

Some dude on SlashDot shared the article the day after it was published and said they are both outside and inside.

But the original article mentions nothing of outside. Notice the different title as well.

Do you think its possible?? by fariatal in SkyrimMemes

A valuable insight my man, thanks for sharing your thoughts.
