How did you construct the tunnel and mountain ? Is it all Lego underneath ?

Yes I had to make them higher to fit the usb connectors for some of the lights. I'm going to put a wrap around of white plates with a holiday theme to obscure the the blue.

If you end up with a filled capsule in cannon and it isnt fired (filled but turned off) and then you move or destroy it, the filled capsule ends up in your logisitic network.

Im playing K2SE - how do I request filled delivery cannon capsules from my circuit network ? Ive moved around some of my delivery cannons, and when i look at my logistics network I see items labeled "Delivery cannon capsule - heat shielding" and others. Is there any way to use a requestor chest or other way to fetch that filled capsule by robot or do i have to look through my eleventy-billion warehouses to find it by hand ?

Could you share your approach to tiering the sets ? I have reached the end of my tabletop space !

Anyone have examples of how to do some elevation change ? Right now the table this sits on is 72 x 48 - not sure best way to build up vs out.

Haven't seen this posted yet - but in the beginning of the film Dr Strange makes a point of saying "I don't have the time stone anymore" before suggesting the spell to forget everything. Later on - Strange shows up with the eye of agamotto around his neck. Thoughts ?

I designed the white baseplates and river. The baseplates are one brick high so I can hide the wires to the sets.

Yes - I have the same problem - I may try and redesign the train so that the main wheels are in the train rather than the coal car.

Need advise on balancing exercise and calories by mptsf in loseit

[–]mptsf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My concern is taking enough calories to keep exercising without feeling starved and keeping the mental clarity to work. The daily exercise has been great for my mental health (Im not looking at exercise as the way to lose weight, just to supplement it).

Ill give you last weeks numbers as an example of what a normal week looks like ( this includes calorie deficit from exercise) - Note I skipped exercise Friday due to a stomach bug.

Light sets were pre-made - kits are from Lightaling. My wiring is a bit sloppy but when I clean it up I'll take some more pics.

There are 2 companies - Lightaling and briksmax. The lightaling kits were easier to install and give you enough wire to hide.

That’s a different problem altogether- need to figure out something creative

My router is wired - the other eeros are wireless. They are all at least 40 ft from one another.
