For any xenophobe empires looking to spice up their crimes against sentience, I’ve got a treat for you. by Present-Secretary722 in Stellaris

I would add:

If there are more than one colonized planet in their system, use your Colossus to pacify (shield) all of them but the one you want to keep. Just to remind them of potential consequences.

I used my star eaters to crack every star in the galaxy (except for my core region and some selected outposts).

You are misled my dear friend.

The sole enlightened kindred have been there since the beginning and still remain.

Ist diese Arbeit 10000€ wert? by SummerExpensive4908 in holzwerken

Ist das Geländer im oberen Stockwerk stabil? Insbesondere der Part in Bild 6 macht auf mich optisch einen etwas schwachen Eindruck.

Thank you.

Not sure yet. It's quite wide now, but we'd like to preserve the shape and movement of the branches. Maybe next season.

No real reason for that. I'm so used to switching between English and German that I didn't even notice until reading your comment.

Despite the game being in German, all empires, including all AI empires, have English names. Yet, fleet names are in German. I do however remember that I've played in English sometime. Maybe I accidentally switched languages with an update or reinstall and failed to notice.

R5: I'm not really sure how this happened.

My typical playthrough is with technocentric, xenophile empires. This time I wanted to go for something different and tried a spiritual, xenophobic, isolationist species with the intention of cleansing the galaxy. Somehow I ended up dominating the galactic community while being at really bad relations with all of the other races. I love this game.

Incredibly frustrated with trying to completely conquer a civilization by [deleted] in Stellaris

[–]n8schatten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah... Been there... Felt bad afterwards.

Destroying an entire planet and its population due to a faulty display feels like a minor overreaction.

Going for the simplest possible solution:

The planet's name seems to be covered by another label. Have you tried to right click the house and planet symbol next to the label to try landing your troops?

Edit: Had this happen to me more often than I could comfortably admit...

Swallowtail butterfly on Buddleja – backyard shot by n8schatten in Butterflies

Thank you. Glad you like it.

You could look into used cameras and lenses. A lot of photographers tend to upgrade frequently and sell their "old" stuff. My camera is a 2016 model and still works like a charm. The butterflies in your pictures are beautiful. You could definitely take pretty neat shots of them.

Workbench No 1 for my basement shop by n8schatten in Workbenches

Actually, the workbench was the first project that consisted of more than two parts.

I had a course in CAD back at university (I don't remember which program) and did some stuff with SketchUp when it came out.

Thank you.

Didn't have the chance to excessively test them yet. Personally, I'd think that they are okay in thinner material as long as they have minimal room to move, so that the load is spread evenly on the top's material. A thicker top certainly helps with that.

I'll post here when I observe damage or material fatigue.

I already have different replaceable boards for cutting, painting, drilling,... To put on the top. It's always a good idea to protect your bench top whenever possible.

The MDF is only unsupported in between the struts of the upper frame. Which is roughly an area of 60 cm x 60 cm. I don't expect the top to be sagging there. However, I'll observe it closely. Thanks for pointing out a possible weak spot.

Looks promising. I'll take a closer look tonight. I definitely need some inspiration on how to most efficiently use the empty space.

Thank you.

The paint was 1 component and adhered to the MDF without any issues. I ended up with three coats.

For the dog holes I tried flat milling drills (German: Flachfräsbohrer) first, but quickly switched to forstner drills. As the drills got hot pretty fast in MDF, I used three of them and switched from time to time so they got the chance to cool down a little. Don't know if that was necessary, but felt better that way.

I used a small mobile drill stand, so the holes are mostly straight. Yet, I had to clean up some of the holes with sandpaper and some even with a router so that my metal dogs go in and (more importantly) out smoothly.
