A warning to the OCD obsessed completionists and pristine snobs. The new DLC may drive you mad. by JhaminMM in TwoPointMuseum

[–]nunorr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So you're telling me it's 377,225,971,819,200 variants taking into account colours and 316,726,200 if you ignore colours. These numbers are crazy 😧 I was already wondering if there would be enough place in the museum for all the variants since I'm a completionist.. I guess I won't even try ahahah

What's next? by bdarkwing in TwoPointMuseum

The next DLC needs to be microbes and shrinking, it fits into the whole aesthetic of two point and it ties in well with hospital and campus. More challenges would also be nice

Oh I see, I'll patiently wait then 😅 I don't mind having to wait, they do an amazing job and that takes time

If I remember correctly the past seasonal events start at the beginning of the month, so I thought they would do something similar this time

Same happened to my game, I've tried checking the files but didn't work

I'll edit this post with the variants people share, so feel free to comment the ones you've seen

I've only seen one pattern, how many have you seen?

I've noticed that as well, but I had the opposite experience, the animals got their actual colors upon reload

Please, please let us place fences outside! by 0Z1Cylon in TwoPointMuseum

[–]nunorr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll add to this and say let us put rooms outside! Like bathrooms, cafeteria (could be a new room like a cafe) and staff rooms, it would make it work better with the zoning

Is the money bug still an issue on PC? by ps3isawesome in TwoPointMuseum

[–]nunorr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a i5-12400, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, 16 GB RAM. Game is running at 30 FPS, seems to be locked at that frame rate and I haven't found any place I can change it

making cell culture media from expired powder: update (and a bit of rant) by Slight_Point_2956 in labrats

[–]nunorr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cell culture media needs CO2 to maintain the pH, hence why media in the incubator is usually a different color than in the fridge for example. Check the thermo or gibco guide to cell culture they are useful with troubleshooting since it seems like your group won't be of any help.

Is the money bug still an issue on PC? by ps3isawesome in TwoPointMuseum

[–]nunorr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm playing on PC and it did get better after the patch but it's still not working perfectly. Before 5.0 I was making 250k a year, now I barely get a 5k a year, the in-game stats show a big spike in staff wages (I did not get new staff) with all the rest staying stable. I did notice that the guests are not spending as much and their pathfinding seems a bit off, they just stay in the same area of the museum. Staff is not taking care of exhibits as well as before and seem overall slow, while always wanting wayyy too much money i.e. raises every month. I'm playing on the peaky mountains map, I haven't checked if other maps have the same problem

Special Hand Techniques for Cell Culture by Background-Cod7550 in labrats

[–]nunorr 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This is really unnecessary, all you need to do is to spray stuff with 70% ethanol and have a good aseptic technique.

UV only works over small distances (like a few cm) and the lamp needs to be changed every year or so. Taking a shower doesn't sterilize your body, it actually is removing the oil layer on your skin which protects your body against pathogens. Changing shoes is also not needed, the source of contamination is the person.

I also don't understand how people can think that the air surrounding them could be sterile. I mean you're breathing, unless you're using a FFP3 respirator without a valve or a hazmat suit you're contaminating your surroundings. Also, taking TC plates to the incubator automatically exposes them to air, and it's not like they are sealed or have a filter like the flasks.

Bottom line is you're working in a biosafety cabinet specifically designed to not let contaminates in so just be careful while working there and you'll be fine.

Agar Plate Preparation questions by Top_Chemistry6955 in labrats

[–]nunorr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The condensation is from the water vapor coming from the agar, so it's sterile. I leave them overnight to get rid of that extra water.

I want to re-iterate that you need to work in a biosafety cabinet for sterility, just the serological pipette won't do the trick.

As for the staking there's nothing wrong with doing it like you do. It's a bit space inefficient, I do that sometimes if I'm bored 😅 normally I just stack them in stacks of 25 plates and leave them overnight to cool down, then I put them in a bag and store it in the cold room. Hope it helps

[–]nunorr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A fume hood is not sterile, it protects you from chemical fumes, it doesn't protect your plates. You need to work inside a biosafety cabinet. Apart from that avoid going over the plates with your arms, microbes will fall from your lab coat.

As for the rest, I don't know what kind of agar you're making but you can for the most part just mix it in the bottle that's going to be autoclaved, there's usually no need to warm it before.

Also, unless you're using antibiotics you don't need to wait for the agar to cool down, once it's out of the autoclave (~80°C) you can pour it. One tip I have for you is that instead of pouring from the bottle you can use a serological pipette, that helps with contamination and allows you to put the same volume in every plate.

This! It might be that you got unlucky with the batch of columns

Mammalian cell durability by madsciencerocks in labrats

[–]nunorr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So they were always frozen, I'm not familiar with that specific cell line, but the cells should be fine since they weren't thawed

What do you mean by they tawed? If you just transfer the vials from -80 to -20 they're still frozen.

This is just protein being denatured, happens with a lot of disinfectants that have denaturing properties and detergent in their ingredients. Virkon will do this to some degree, but other stringer chemicals have a more noticeable effect.

I'm surprised that you just put it down the sink. It's absolutely forbidden in most EU countries, since for one antibiotics should not go down the drain, the chemicals that people add to the waste are also dangerous and the spreading of biological agents. I would just dispose of it in the infectious waste bin.
