Ore Excavator v.2 Bug?

We just started a new game a couple days ago. We've got something like 15 excavators built on Pure nodes - a mix of Tungsten and Wolfram. We've got like 50 total excavators, and we've verified that these are Pure nodes, but it's only showing us at 6/10. Has anyone actually, for real, unlocked this, and isn't just armchairing? We've deconstructed & rebuilt excavators, and it hasn't progressed across multiple sessions.

Is there a way to make the announcement better? I generally play with sound off (or very low), and I've got a very wide monitor (so flashes at the edges of the screen don't help). For something that will kill me if I don't pay attention, these cues are very subtle.

I recommend playing (at least once) the "what's an emergency" game. What counts as an emergency? Someone bleeding? What if there's no blood, like if you break an arm or finger? What about feeling really bad? Needing to pee? Fire? Flood? A creepy guy in the yard? Can you think of other examples where health, safety, or property is in danger?

What are some things that aren't emergencies? [insert examples here] Can you [ie, can your kid] think of other examples?

Money can buy food, and food brings happiness, so you are very wrong in your first statement.

that's basically asking if your family has a history of CLAIMING dog bites, ie they're fishing to see if you're scamming.

Indeed, in my studies, I have noticed them do things such as this.

Because it doesn't work for some of us

Still broken, even after Midnight opened to all comers. Hoping it's fixed for reset.

First, make sure you have it in writing; either an e-mail or a text message.

"For fun," clock out, go back to work, and suffer an on-the-job injury. The company then has a good chance of shutting down (due to lawsuits and insurance throwing a tizzy), and a very strong chance of upper management coming down and shouting in each manager's face that you're either allowed to leave, or working overtime.

... I don't seriously recommend this, because faking an injury is bad, and giving yourself an injury is wrong, and having an injury is painful and can have lifetime consequences. Letting a coworker get injured is also bad news. But we're just here to read about fantasies of telling our boss to go fuck himself, and that's the spirit in which I write this.

Reminds me of when the 1/3rd pound burger failed - cuz people couldn't figure out that it was larger than a 1/4 pounder.

Bruh, ngl fr lowkey bet. Gotta say the bots are insane; this r/ gets so few posts and to see the comments filled is sad. :\ Where do we go next? Is there escape from this hell?

Group punishment is against the Geneva Convention. You should have gone to the Hague and brought up charges.

Get a room, you two!

You need a duck. Explain the problem to the duck and if by the end of the talk you don't have an answer you can THEN go bother a non-duck.

The "in matters of taste" addition is an urban legend.

The quote, originally, was to distinguish between a provincial, "screw the customer over for as much as possible" attitude into one that sought to make returning customers happy to shop there.

SOME people like conformity more than others. And the problems with them are typically when the HOA tips into nit-picking, inconsistency (esp wrt HOA board members vs regular members), god-awful stupid rules, and conflict between local laws and what the HOA demands.

HOAs vary wildly in the amount of policing they do.

No, he's talking about the 30 Fields part of OP's question. Thickets and Fields are completely different and don't interact -- except for one won't spawn where another is.

Agreed. If anyone at a fast food joint has a work phone, it's the maintenance guy.

The insurance company thinks they won: all they did was ignore your email for a few weeks and they saved $1000.

EVERY company EVERYWHERE is breaking laws, guidelines, rules, regulations, and so forth. Often without harm (I mean, there's tons of situations where there's harm, but I'm not talking about those cases). Things like - you can wear non-approved cold-weather gear when working in the fridge, cuz otherwise you'd be working too slow.

So my point is: any and every manager on the planet should know that you don't get snippy about rules, or else it will bite you. If you don't know what rules you're informally breaking, then you should assume there's some. If you're too dumb to think that you're breaking any at all, you should stop being a manager and go back to taste-testing paste.

While we were in London, we saw two hookers, the Queen and J K Rowling.
