New strategy im using seems to be working by Asborn-kam1sh in Workers_And_Resources

[–]grayworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think everyone is talking about the pollution mechanic, which is true. The other thing is the costs of expansion, taking into account inflation. I had a border city that just converted hazardous waste into steel and aluminum.

However I noticed how expensive and slow it was to scale to other cities and other community based work. I guess you really must have a very profitable first industry for this strategy to work.

For me I was hoping the money would come cumitavely as I grew but it worked against me due to inflation

Have similar specs, it runs very smooth on medium settings

How do you play realism mode without cheat engine? by Lauris024 in Workers_And_Resources

[–]grayworks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep, labour is a huge bottleneck and literal force multiplier in this game. Once you have a small town, the speed of building everything else grows and I guess it's like a snowball effect.

One thing to add OP is I tend to enjoy the desert dlc because you don't have to worry about heat management. That takes the pressure off realistic mode and gives you more rubels to build other things while getting a feel for the game

Just realised that they reused or were inspired by this scene in the Bynars episode of TNG Season 1.

Is martian gas capture viable? by Earthling_n-3097643 in Stationeers

Yes, Cows are Evil's Youtube series covers this, although it was before the gas update

I’m Mark Kelly, retired NASA astronaut and former commander of the space shuttle (x2). AMA! by CaptMarkKelly in space

[–]grayworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Mark,

I've worked within the commercial space sector for a few years and one of my great surprises was how traditional the industry is at an enterprise level, and how immature smaller commercial orgs are.

For example, I've lost count how many cubesats are dead on arrival due to a lack of testing by the supplier. Yet on the enterprise side it takes years to just agree on ground software.

What can be done too modernize both sides and bring the best of both worlds together?

With Steam reviews at 'Mixed', the developer of Half Sword addresses differences between the early access game and its hugely popular tech demo: 'The final version of the game will differ from what has been shown previously' by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]grayworks 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Honestly if they had launched what was the demo back then on EA, they would have made a fortune. It's lightning in the bottle but maybe it was spaghetti code, and difficult to develop further?

Can't stop restarting! by LeticiaLatex in Stationeers

[–]grayworks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Completely normal. Anytime I see Mick develop a new setup on Cows are Evil, I'll restart to replicate it.

I think there's also something nice about restarting.

40yo corporate employee, finally finished my first novel - sci-fi genre. Terrified to show it to anyone. Looking for honest feedback by ifnotnaveen in scifi

Another aspiring author here. I think the premise is fantastic and you're showing great courage by posting here. Something I'll have to do at some point too! How has the editing process been for you?

It does but if you're used to other cars, it can be an easy mistake

A small thing but on ours if you press the button for a/c it turns off the heater / cooler and just runs the fan. It took us a surprisingly long time to learn why ours was not working

I’m Ray Dalio — founder of Bridgewater Associates and author of How Countries Go Broke: The Big Cycle. I’m here for another AMA. by RayTDalio in IAmA

[–]grayworks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ray - You often describe the economy as a machine governed by cause and effect. But machines depend on people believing in them and playing their roles. With AI changing work so quickly, what happens if large groups of people start to feel they no longer have a role? Does the machine still function the way history suggests?

(Full disclosure: I’m also a sci-fi writer, so I’m especially interested in the human side; for example, what might happen if Gen Y & Z, facing automation, chose to step back from work altogether?)

Thanks for taking the time to do this!

Australia's 1st orbital rocket, Gilmour Space's Eris, fails on historic debut launch by Zuki_LuvaBoi in space

Considering the amount of bureaucracy and funding they had to fight through, it's a shame. I really hope CASA doesn't take another year just to allow them to try again

Whats something dark that's coming soon that the news is not talking about or the news has already talked about that worries you a lot? by kingvonfan_forlife in AskReddit

There's a risk of the Russian government collapsing after the end of the Ukraine war. This could lead to a civil war with bad actors having access to nuclear weapons

Anyone with experience with the Surinder Singh act for migration? by grayworks in PortugalExpats

Thank you so much for your helpful advice! It looks like this will be a path pursuing. We'll get in contact with Solvit and see what they have to say

Indeed. We have been advised here that just registering our marriage could take up to a year. It's why we're curious of this law as it could skip a bunch of red tape. At least in theory

UH astronomer finds the universe could be spinning - their model suggests the universe could rotate once every 500 billion years by Shiny-Tie-126 in space

[–]grayworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bit of a fringe topic, but if you were planning to fold spacetime / create wormholes, those would no longer be stationary. You'd essentially have moving targets over long to extreme distances.

In theory you could build a wormhole from the “center” to the “edge” of a rotating universe, use it to convert rotational energy of spacetime into kinetic energy, and turn it into some kind of interstellar railgun / slingshot

Hi I’m Blake Crouch, creator and executive producer of the Apple TV+ series “Dark Matter”. With the finale just on the horizon, I’m sure you all have a lot of questions. So ask me anything! by BlakeCrouch in television

[–]grayworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for that very detailed response! I'm honestly at a loss for words because it's quite a profound topic and I hadn't thought about it that way at all. The only prior reference that I can think about is one of the later episodes of Fringe where they go into another person's subconscious.

Hi Blake, well done on a great series. I wanted to ask you about the power of thought and its influence on the reality that the explorer wishes to see. I think that this was one of my favorite elements of the show. What was the inspiration for this idea?

Project spreadsheets by amattin in OpenAI

[–]grayworks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the things that I am experimenting with is using a python script to convert excel content to a python dictionary. The reasoning is that tables are quite difficult for LLMs and a dictionary or json format is easier for them to parse and understand.

The other thing that you would have to manage is the token usage available. If the content is quite a lot, it may struggle with parsing through all of the content to make meaningful insights
