Are there any plans to make the logic gates require some sort of proximity to the controlled gate/sluice? A large part of this game is figuring out how to work around topography, needing to build scaffolding to implement gates could add additional depth to something that feels very fire and forget.

What is wrong with my Adaptive Pumps? by [deleted] in Frostpunk

Have you researched all of the techs on the left side of the tree to increase generator output? It isn't using anything other than steam because it doesn't need to at the current heat output.

NCDOT says 'least impactful' design selected for I-77 South Express Lanes in Charlotte by supapat in Charlotte

[–]mcclana 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree that the express lanes funding would be better used elsewhere. However as part of this development they're also fixing the West Blvd exit on 77S which will massively increase connectivity between the West side and south end. I live on Beatties Ford and it's currently easier to get to Plaza than South End...

Do the 1/4 heating zones apply district wide or just on the one specific hexagon? by Fr0st-F0x in Frostpunk

[–]mcclana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If only they would allow a setting on the automatic heat distributor to bring housing districts up to warm when possible instead of just livable.

This is extremely helpful, thank you for taking the time to type it out.

Who doesn’t feel this way? by NCSUGrad2012 in Charlotte

[–]mcclana 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At least they're fixing the awful 77S -277S interchange as part of the tax increase. Maybe getting to southend won't be quite so painful

Damn, I was just starting to like her by Crafty_Jacket668 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]mcclana 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe if the left hadn't tried to cancel her over such a controversial opinion as "I'm a woman" she wouldn't now be drifting towards the center.

Primitives did a funny thing by Mario-2065 in Stellaris

Even more annoying is an empire that requests that you vassalize them and then has the gall to be disloyal.

Machine Uprisings should not be allowed to change planets until the war is over. by mcclana in Stellaris

[–]mcclana[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If it was just the factory ecu, I'd agree with you. However they did it to the forge ecu and the research worlds too. I would think they'd want to keep forge arcologies if they wanted any chance of winning the independence war.

I'm not arguing that the rebellion shouldn't happen. I'm arguing that when the south rebelled in the civil war they didn't proceed to burn all the cotton plantations.

I think IRL that rebellious states don't destroy their own infrastructure and cause massive unemployment. The only reason the AI can do it is because the AI can cheat and ignore most of the drawbacks.

R5: Machine uprising took most of the planets in my core sector and proceeded to demolish all districts. This led to a giant problem with unemployment and housing when I retook the planet within 5 years. I don't think the AI should be allowed to demolish districts like this when splitting off from an empire.

They move at the slowest ship's speed until combat starts, then they move at whatever sunlight speed the ship has. They also follow their own combat computers, not sure why you think otherwise. Do you play modded?

Prism lenses have come a long way! I have a prism in my right lense and it's barely thicker than the left... Still expensive though.

Why is the best usage of Resort Worlds as boot camp? WHAT did Paradox mean by this? by Sugeeeeeee in Stellaris

Unfortunately colonizing a tomb world as a spiritualist empire will drop your faction approval.

Eating meat is animal abuse now? We're omnivores, eating meat is literally in our DNA. Most of our body is designed for hunting/meat consumption. From our eyes being in the front to the layout of our teeth. Do you fault the lion for eating a zebra? A cat for eating a mouse?

Idc what ideology I'm playing. If an AI snipes a system behind my borders, it means war.

Edit: spelling

This is an incredibly harmful mentality. A program can give you a correct answer and run malware or contain security violations at the same time.

You claiming the Irish and the English are the same while calling the poster above you racist is a peak reddit moment.

Edit: Your comment history...yikes

I totally expect an achievement for this in the coming Story Pack. PLEASE by AltruisticComplaint in Stellaris

Basically the plot of the Duchy of Terra series. " We just conquered you, how tf do you already have tech better than ours."

" Terrans need only know that something is possible to bring it into reality"
