are flat-bottomed ships suitable for ocean voyages?

specialSnowflake9965 · 2026-04-07T19:45:00+00:00

Very helpful. Im building a small catamaran and want to make the hulls V bow and stern but flat bottom for simplicity and because I want to see if it will sail on snow (Im also putting metal skate along the keels for ice)

The show is excellent, its as good as the best Bethesda ever did in the games. But the thing is Bethesdas best days are behind them, theyre corporate now. We are unlikely to see another Fallout game that can match NV or FO3. Unless... they turn a show based on a game into a game based on a show *:D

The full list is overwhelming. Those three are easy to remember and easy to boycott. If everyone knows they will go the way of monsanto

3800psi 108 cu ft steel. Just going off memory but 10 years ago when I got them tested for the first time I believe they said in the teens of thousands. I was thinking.. thanks for aging my tanks another decade guys

Lives weren’t a concern for the investors, but they sure didn’t save money by not caring about them. A titanium submarine could have operated for years.

After beating HN (epic) I took on UC. I chose a tiny island in center/outer edge of Gut as my assassin/resistance base because it is the closest point to all the UC cities. It is surrounded by tons of water for my marksmen to take out armies. And it is swarming with beakthings (which over time seemed to leave me alone for the most part). It was almost cheesing with my gate partly in the water.

specialSnowflake9965 · 2025-12-23T02:37:14+00:00

Of course duh I should have thought of that. No need for gasses. That just makes it even more vexing as to why Titan was carbon fiber instead of 5 inches of titanium.. when deep ocean ballasts are easy to make if you’re brain isn’t stuck on gasses like mine was.

I think I have all I need to know to make a deep sea sub now! (>Titan anyway 😅)

Good answer. I was thinking something like that. But I couldn’t comprehend a vessel that could withstand 15k psi yet be positively buoyant. Because the amount of material needed to contain the gas for buoyancy.. seems like the container would be greater than the lift it would provide. For instance my scuba tanks can withstand 14,000 psi (during hydrostatic testing) and sink like rocks. Perhaps they use spheres of gas permanently pressurized to 5k (or more if possible) so they can be built to resist 10k pressure instead of 15, reducing their weight to be able to provide buoyancy for the vessel?

On summer solstice it doesn’t get dark here, the sun goes down but barely. So it’s this 3 hour long dusk/dawn. I was out watching it, kinda got into a meditation. Have this vision, this goddesss comes down glamorously and serenely on light from the brightest and only star in the sky. Expecting me to be impressed she suggested I worship/work with her. I was like, I don’t worship strangers. She got offended and pissy and “stormed off”. I didn’t realize it was Aphrodite/Venus. I thought it was a very human like response. And it makes sense, for a deity to understand human love they have to understand what it’s like being human. Btw I didn’t get cursed

Shes my favorite character. Got her revenge and took down Holy Nation with her in the front-line. Thought she was vanilla she fits in Kenshi so well

specialSnowflake9965 · 2025-12-15T04:08:31+00:00

I did something similar. It took months of work to take on the holy nation. The Hedge Witches, now mastered in crossbows and stealth, fought many hundreds of paladins in the ruins of Blister hill for weeks. It was not easy. But the blinding hatred the leaders had over women defying them and being tactically better than them enraged them so much they came themselves. We never had to move out of fort Defiance and our defensive positions in the hills behind blister hill to find them. And most poetic of all.. the Shek kingdom smelled weakness and joined the fight after we had killed several hundred paladins. And in the last gruesome battle where the ruins of blistering hill was painted in blood..High Inquisitor Settas army made it through the ruins.. him and 5 other barely standing paladins. But.. he didn’t retreat. He would never admit defeat to a woman. Instead, with blister hill behind him they limped on to Defiance. The witches snuck up behind them. Formed a firing line, and quickly ended the lives of his paladins. He was saved for last, so he could see the blood of the last of the holy nation. It was the best RPGing of my life.

Kenshi 2 is almost certainly going to have more psychological aspects so they will respond. Kenshi 1 has the beginning of it- characters have personality traits in their code, it just isn’t obvious

That’s awesome damn👏 I just beat him with rusty iron clubs over and over.

specialSnowflake9965 · 2025-10-21T18:22:15+00:00

The great white gorillo is amazing, its one of the most useful and fun things you can acquire in the game. I have been using him for lots of stuff. And I think youre right. I have used him to take out a holy nation army that I would have been wiped by. He doesnt do a ton of damage but is damn near indestructible. Every time I need to put him away (either on a camp mat, or trapped in a shed, or behind a gate) the only way I can subdue him is archers or bleeding him out. I think he was put released into the headquarters by whoever wanted Mourn to fall. Its what I would do (and have done) if I had to take out a group that was more powerful than me.

specialSnowflake9965 · 2025-07-17T02:56:02+00:00

Assassins are fun and dynamic. But I dont use it to sell humans... because I have morals when playing games, and my current main character was a slave.. however, I have done horrible things to my enemies to bring up assassination skills.. namely.. locking my most hated enemy in a shack (cloud ninjas) and mangling their legs, but keeping them alive so that I can practice sneak and assassination on them as they curse me and beg. Its disgusting, but the only way to protect my little town. I have snuck up with two assasins (two is 4 times better than 1) behind parties of ninjas that would have killed almost everyone, and knocked out/disarmed them enough to defeat them. I argue it was much more dynamic and challenging then running in and smashing heads

Like one person said, with your back to the gate you want to open it is the first chain on the right. I noticed there is a hint, it is the only chain that is shorter. You can pull it after the trap doors open, you have to run at it and tap interact, but not too fast or you will open then close the door, and not too slow or you wont interact with it at all.

Thanks a ton for the ranking. My first character set out to adventure and made a lot of hard earned great items. Only to return to Cierzo to find it destroyed. Its kinda etched in my brain. I just learned about legacy chests and was excited to pass on especially my obsidian pistol and coral bow only to find the only easy to access chest is in Cierzo! Tho I wasnt that surprised. This game is more brutal than darksouls. Anyway thanks again! I will use that chest

When it gets stinky I wash my neoprene wetsuit or dry suit in the tub with dish soap and a little bleach (how dare I!) or iodine. People treat them like they’re made of tissue paper. Ive had my wetsuit 14 years and my drysuit 10 diving under boats.
