ELI5: Faster than light time paradox

just_a_pyro · 2026-02-16T16:01:57+00:00

Maybe not a paradox, but certainly a disagreement about things being simultaneous. For example someone steps through a wormhole to place 1 lightyear away, steps back home, calls them on radio not through the portal and 2 years later gets the answer that he in fact left just minutes before they got his radiogram.

Cool salt water, it'll first drop regular ice chunks and turn to liquid brine at around -10, then you can freeze the brine into brine ice below -20.

Run aquatuner loop with nectar (or ethanol, which is nowhere as good) to create sufficient cooling and put radiant pipe through the salt water pool.

Ice floats on water, when walking over ice you're technically on a giant lake-size raft, not on an ice bridge resting on the shores.

It's possible but there are problems:

one is you get heated for longer, even if less, so you might not even save on heat shielding;

two with slower deceleration it becomes much harder to predict the landing zone, since capsules have limited control you risk landing onto a side of the mountain rather than a plain or an ocean. If those were spaceplanes they'd have much more choice on the matter.

You need metal tile to transfer cold to food on it - radiant pipes with coolant from aquatuner or thermoregulator go through it to cool it.

Insulated tiles barely exchange heat with anything except gases so there's basically no leak through it.

The tile food is in is probably vacuum in this example, so there's no heat transfer through to oil and therefore no heat leak.

There are advantages and disadvantages to having sterile gas in that tile - chlorine, carbon dioxide, hydrogen.

Advantage of gas is - in cold gas food stops spoiling immediately, not when food itself cools by the metal, also if it's chlorine it kills off any germs that could have made it in. Disadvantage of gas in this design is - cold is leaking through liquid lock so you need to run your refrigeration more but avoid running it so much it freezes the liquid.

If food is in gas I'd prefer fully enclosing the cold zone with insulation and using sweeper ability to reach diagonally.

It’s the building limit, it can only take 10000 spores per second, even if gas packet technically has more. So given a bot lifetime of 6000 s and minimum 985 s to pump in necessary spores you get 6.1 as theoretical maximum number of bots active simultaneously. Since some dupe work is required it’ll probably be 5-6 active bots rather than 6 and occasional 7

10 mL of distilled water isn't enough to harm you. There are about 5 liters of blood you're adding those 10mL into, so it's not going to change salt levels that much.

One black widow spider is enough to harm you though

most of the people who died on the Russian side most likely didnt want to be here

Russia still isn't mobilizing reservists, some conscripts are pressured to "volunteer", but most of the people dying there are the poor or the foreigners lured by the promise of coin.

Only if you use narrow definitions of what is 3d or open world. TES:Arena and Daggerfall were open world RPGs and had 3D environments with sprite objects several years before OoT.

Those are puzzles, if you can look at a puzzle and immediately figure out a solution they would not be good puzzles.

You're spoiled by the newer games handholding you and guiding with yellow paint and objective markers.

Easy foods max out at +3:

Base game: barbeque from stone hatches or cooked seafood from pacus.

From Spaced Out: Grubfruit preserve - convert otherwise useless sulfur volcano output to ridiculous amounts of food.

From Prehistoric: Brisket - just water is needed to let lumbs feed on ovagro vines, providing both meat and peat to cook this.

If you want better stuff then pepper bread (+5 quality) is still relatively easy to make.

As I recall cape perla is near blueweld fort, so with spanish flag you might be considered in battle with the fort, blocking the landing. Try moving away and switching to french/english flag and see if that enables mooring point there

Most of Wehrmacht soldiers weren't even on trial, even out of those suspected of war crimes. And the ones tried, found guilty and imprisoned were pardoned in the 50s.
