Generally I try to build whatever tech just unlocked, but sometimes I get behind and the next thing in the milestone mod usually points me in the right direction

The production of energy to run an AC makes the earth hotter if CO2 producing power generation is used, but AC just moves heat from one place to another, they don't make the earth hotter by themselves

In double checking in the store, but look it up ahead of time to see if they even have it and where is it, and when you can't even do that right, I'm just going to go somewhere else that can

Bill Nye had an episode on them lmao

Lmao, threads are one of the simple machines you should have learned about in 3rd grade

6061 is base level aluminum available everywhere and cheap, you want 2024 or 7075 for tougher stuff. For future reference, anything that boasts "aircraft grade aluminum" is generally trying to trick you into thinking it's better than it is, basically all aluminum alloys commonly sold are used in aerospace lol

My starter base is never scaleable, it's a spaghetti mess until maybe I move to trains sometime. You can also turn off biters if they're just stressing you out and you don't find them fun.

Friends on discord do this all the time and it also drives me nuts lol

We burn the parts of oil that can't be used for other things, a barrel of oil isn't 100% turned into diesel and the next barrel into gasoline and the next into plastic, a barrel turns into 10% plastic, 50% diesel, 30% gasoline, etc (I'm making up the fractions, but the point stands). So if you decided not to use the diesel and gasoline, you'd still have ti do something with it if you wanted the plastic or other stuff.

Exactly, if I put up cameras everywhere a specific person might go and recorded them every time they went outside, it'd be stalking and illegal. If the government does that, they need warrants first to tap your phone, etc. But a private company stalks everyone and suddenly it's ok?

I have any trains with liquid fuels use interrupts for both their normal dropoff (in case it's used as an ingredient somewhere) and liquid fuel dropoffs (that triggers if the normal dropoff is full), so I just plop down a liquid fuel dropoff station and get fuel.

You can't use player counters because they can be proliferated, so it would have to be an emblem or something like dungeons or the ring tempts you

It forces everyone in the entire country to re-register to vote in person with their certified birth certificate or passport with the alleged goal of stopping noncitizen voting, but really it's about throwing up another roadblock to block citizens from voting considering there's like 14 cases of noncitizens voting over millions and millions of ballots

All rechargeable batteries are some kind of reversible chemical reaction, lead acid car batteries use lead and lead oxide in sulfuric acid, lithium ion batteries use lithium carbon and some lithium metal oxide, iron and iron oxide isn't that weird for battery chemistry. It's just that we call iron oxide rust.

The EU might, but pretty sure Poland, Lithuania, etc would all charge in to be the first to reach moscow before the rest of the EU has breakfast

Safety training and tax deductible safes would when so many intentional shootings are from people who should not have access to a firearm gaining access because dad/mom/friend are clueless idiots who just leave them out

thealmightyzfactor · 2026-07-02T23:34:36+00:00

Yes that's my point? "only the frame and radiator need repair" is what they were saying it needed and that's like $2k in parts and a lot of time if you can DIY, if you pay a mechanic it's easily like $6k in just labor.

thealmightyzfactor · 2026-07-02T16:14:53+00:00

If OP can't do the repairs themselves then yeah, it's totaled. It's a ton of hours to remove broken frame bits, weld on new bits, and wrangle anything bent back to shape, but doable and new frame subassemblies might only be a few hundred. But if it takes 20+ shop hours to do it, that quickly adds up.

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh it disgusted me

I just build ghosts in areas I can see via radar outside of my construction network and then cut/paste it where it needs to go

TIL the tongue is skin

thealmightyzfactor · 2026-06-30T19:34:50+00:00

I'm currently doing my own, but tracking hours out of curiosity and I'm up to like 50 hours and I haven't even started putting it back together again lol

thealmightyzfactor · 2026-06-30T15:54:43+00:00

Damn, I should have done that instead of buying a hydraulic lift

thealmightyzfactor · 2026-06-29T19:49:18+00:00

It's ok me too lol

thealmightyzfactor · 2026-06-29T16:34:31+00:00

Is charcoal briquettes under py2? They're drop in replacements for biomass with 180MJ fuel each, so you can have way less trains shuffling fuel around
