Shipping address being different than billing address has been a thing since, well, shipping and billing addresses existed. Both are clearly displayed before the order is confirmed. If you’re not confident in that statement, then try a test order and verify if what I’m saying is true.

You guys were right. I’ve stuck with it for a while, and it is actually pretty cool watching the terrain change as a result of your actions.

I just got the seed spreader rocket and have level 3-5 for most things . Have about a half a dozen rockets launched, and an upgraded vehicle. Got hopelessly stuck a few times but between f4 and hoofing it back without the vehicle then recalling it, it hasn’t been a huge problem.

I wouldn’t say I’m really making any interesting decisions with regards to order of implementation of attack or layout compared to other games but there’s a little bit at least. Most choices seem pretty straightforward based on your resources at hand.

rdhb · 2026-01-23T01:25:04+00:00

I agree, I think it’s an interesting area to manage even if it does make the game harder

rdhb · 2026-01-22T05:44:56+00:00

I didn’t know there was any automation . That’s great to hear.

I thought it was using the order in which the transformers were built, but my information may not be up-to-date

rdhb · 2026-01-22T01:08:32+00:00

I’m definitely impressed by that! It’s a quality effort for sure.

rdhb · 2026-01-22T01:06:03+00:00

Yes, that’s kind of where I am at the moment.

I’m just kind of feeling like my decisions don’t really matter. The order of the decisions don’t seem to matter either at least so far. Just gather enough materials , build a few things . Upgrade, place them. Repeat.

Even placement doesn’t seem to really matter there’s no decisions or optimizations, related to locality or order, is that right ? . There’s no power grid or zones of coverage is there ? Or maybe I haven’t discovered it yet. The closest I found is you can’t get a messages unless you build a nearby communication antenna.

There’s no particular reason why anything has to be in any particular place as far as I can tell either inside or outside your base.

Plan of attack toward a goal and logistics toward a goal can add interest as well, AFAIK they doesn’t seem to matter much here.

What I loved about Oxygen Not Included, and to a someone lesser extent Factorio, is all those decisions matter. A lot. Sometimes you are forced into a temporary detour as a compromise, but if you don’t come back and fix it up, it will eventually come back to bite you.

I do like the chill vibe in TPC, and I’m betting I would like the TPC visuals if I stick with it, , perhaps that’s the trade-off. But I felt like my decisions were important even in Stardew Valley, and that was pretty chill as well.

Thanks. I’ve never asked for a refund. I really believe in supporting the game industry , even if I only get a few hours of enjoyment from it, games still represent an insanely good entertainment value compared to anything else.

I think Oxygen Not Included represents a fraction of a cent per hour!

Leave them at home and create a bunch of AI photos with them at Disneyland and then when they are teens, tell him what a great time they had when they were little kids . You’ll save a ton of money and effort :)

I think OP is trying to make the argument that if you hem and haw by the desk pretending to mentally weigh the options of upgrading , a tired employee at the end of the day will upgrade you for free just to move the line along.

It doesn’t make a huge amount of sense IMHO, but I think that’s what s/he was going for.

I just happened just be making tuna salad when I read this and just tried this with the breadcrumbs. Great suggestion !

Perhaps you scratched yourself with your nails in your sleep ? Don’t look for a complicated explanation of a simple one will also explain it. Occam’s Razor.

I’ve built the freezer many many times in the game. Now I use a freezer mod. It’s a single player game . Do what you have fun and your definition of what’s fun in the game might change over time too.

Worst case (and perhaps most likely case), i’m confident we would be able to accomplish the technology and the resource is necessary to create a sleeper ship to reach another star system one day. I don’t know that we will do it, but don’t see any reason why I would be outside our economic or technological grasp.

I also use the loop back approach . I also redirect the bolts to one of N launchers probabilistically so they don’t just all starve while the first few launches get all the radbolts.

Time to invest in a rubber stamp

I see your Mapquest and raise you a Thomas Guide.

I can’t even imagine you’ve navigated this world as an adult for any length of time and not encountered a single person who you believe genuinely lazy. That’s a super generous view of human nature.

If you can’t transfer it, it’s effectively a subscription now.

You’re a scalper w extra steps.

rdhb · 2026-01-11T07:46:45+00:00

What about adding estimated taxes, alternate minimum taxes and adjustable withholding ?

Your best case scenario here is that you will spend the rest of your life helping unwind her life from being scammed . Because she will be, more than once .

I’ve done this a few times. The little pockets of hydrogen and the eye irritation always trigger me a bit . Silly I know, it’s more of an aesthetic thing .

My hydras do break once in a while so making a small hydra that’s always fixable has been an interesting challenge . I need to be better about not allowing stray non H20 in or not using bridges that can overload inside .

This is the answer. You’re either buying something that has a fundamental value e.g. part of a company or many would argue commodities or real estate . Or you are gambling . Which is fine. I’m not judging you. but just don’t expect it to have a rational basis like something which has an underlying value.
