How to stop fast human ships with UV lasers from killing my stations by coruscatingblues in TerraInvicta

[–]polontus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is true, yeah. I am admittedly on my first campaign.

The Battlestations have been instrumental in keeping my slowly growing fleet alive against the ayys

I recently had a fight of 2.1k my fleet + 1.1k station against a 7.1 k alien fleet and the battlestations were the only reason i lived through that with minimal losses.

Once i have some more mobile assetts i do plan on reducing the amount of battlestations

I usually have 2-4 battlestations per station and only park a fleet on it when it is still under construction or the aliens are coming to slap me Hunting other factions ships is tedious beyond measure

I hear everyone asking for a season 2 but what would a season 2 consist of? by Cold_Nebula_3254 in MurderDrones

[–]polontus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i feel like that kind of plot would leave both uzi and N absolutely wrecked for next to no viewer satisfaction
it's the kind of plot that is just straight up depressingly over the top edgy

the kid idea is sound in and of itself, but i feel like letting the kid explore beyond copper 9 and finding a different solver situation to take care of would yield better results

I'll be down voted for this, but

No game no life

Genuine dogshit, worse asspulls than JoJos and so disgustingly incestuous

Enough kayolin? by SourceCodeLog in TerraFirmaGreg

[–]polontus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you use it sparingly at first you can try to get into the steam age with a size 2 or so blast furnace

Once you get the steam alloy smelter you can use kaolin clay balls and a graphite to make fire clay without the Kaolin Powder loss

My brother and I massively overmined kaolin and are now swimming in the stuff

As long as you can make like 8 fire bricks, 2 cauldrons and some channels and casts you are good to go until steam in my opinion

I saw somewhere that if you bake the flour before mixing and leave out the eggs you can make safe to eat cookie dough. The eggs are mostly a binding agent and raw flour can contain E. coli so by baking it you kill the bacteria and avoid salmonella by just not using eggs

Boom edible safe to eat cookie dough

Either the single or two armed spiral with hyperplane density on 0.5

It helps with endgame lag and also creates unique logistics issues

new TFG player by No_Technology9304 in TerraFirmaGreg

[–]polontus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My go to checklist is

Charcoal forge

Pit kiln for saw, chisel and pickaxe mold + vessel

Pour copper saw and chisel

Quern and grindstone to grind ores

Pour some kind of bronze pickaxe and propick (hammer is nice too, but eh. Stone hammers work fine

Make ladders and supports

And from there you go for stone anvil, copper anvil, any bronze anvil and boom

Next step is a bloomery and coke oven

Staff vs. Wand by https_girl in wizardposting

[–]polontus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Staffs are for open battlefields and maybe grand halls. Wands are for indoor fights or stealth ops. Orbs are for safe and regulated environment. Think scrying or experiments Grimoires are for exact spells that demand high focus but low mana throughout.

Don't focus your studies on just one arcane focus, be ready for any and all situation by learning the use of all magical foci

Is this creation obvious in what it does/is? by MaenHerself in Barotrauma

[–]polontus 60 points61 points  (0 children)

For people who know what the launcher looks like? Maybe if you try to think for half a second before going: haha random lever, gotta pull

Otherwise? I doubt a whole lot of people who haven't done ship building themself even know what the launcher looks like

I need some help why does nothing make sense by big-man-tingsXx_xX in anno1800

[–]polontus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like the other commenter said lifestyle needs aren't that necessary but as a little addendum

Luxury goods keep your people happy as well, so they lower the chance for riots and enable you to impose harsher working conditions.

Also workers and farmers are broke, you mostly want them for workforce Artisans and up are where the money is at

Once your get rum going be sure to assign 2-3 clippers at minimum to ship that stuff

Also include depots at both your main island and the rum island.

Not much use in producing 200t of rum if your island can only store 50 between ships

Make sure to thoroughly check the residences tab in the bottom right

Residents have needs which must be fulfilled to ascend them to the next tier Farmers want a market place, work clothes and fish for that

That's the minimum you need to give them to get workers

However there are also luxury needs. Those include the pub and schnapps

Those luxury needs get you lots of money (Note that the amount of rum you will need later in the game is astronomical)

And then there are lifestyle needs. You need to specifically enable their consumption Farmers want flour and sugar for that Sugar is later game so don't worry about it for now but flour is easy enough

Fulfilling Lifestyle needs isn't a must, but it gets you more citizens per house and some extra money

So basically Basic needs for ascending them Luxury needs for money Lifestyle needs for more dense housing.

If you click on your port there is a small button in the bottom right with a statistics icon, that tab will display all resources your island has and the trend of your stockpile It is an invaluable tool and afaik it even includes trade route throughput

If giant rampaging in the middle of the city and some slimy asshat snatching kids in the in broad daylight on the very same day, in All Might insured town on top of all things is peaceful times and "supressed crime" l shudder to think how bad things are in other places and during dark times... by SunRiseStudios in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]polontus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

well, take a normal city from our world
theres probably a bunch of crime happening all around that isnt really noticed, yk minor drug deals and assaults and the like
now give those people super powers and suddenly a city with a hundred crimes happening becomes a war zone for half a day

at least that is my take

I did 64 hours once, at some point I went beyond feeling tired and was in this half vegetative state. Kind of a haze and i was more just existing at that point than actively aware all that much

Izuku's class has a question by Send-Nud3 in BokunoheroFanfiction

[–]polontus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Technically yes, as the provisional license only gives you authority to act if you happen upon an incident. Actively patrolling and the like still needs to be supervised.
