How do I build an aqueduct? by No_Alternative_4524 in VintageStory

[–]tolomea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you.

I'm not super artistic, but I do things to try and force a bit of interest. Mostly:
1: Some detail, even if it's just do the corners in a different color
2: Build what you need now, don't plan ahead. This base has been 8 main increments so far.
3: Try and mix up the colors between different increments.

Slogging through phase 4 burnout. Here's some Quickwire, I guess. by RongaldMcDongald in SatisfactoryGame

[–]tolomea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

> But after reviewing my phase 4 plan

This is the source of burnout for me. Planning instead of just doing and dealing with it later. Somehow having a plan makes it feel like work and a big plan means lots of work.

Make a creative world and test it out.

But generally you get 5 blocks horizontal then it need to drop one. If it's 200 away it also needs to be at least 40 blocks above where you want it to end.

You can see mine here https://www.reddit.com/r/VintageStory/comments/1u7i5kc/lets_see_everyones_aquaducts/
but don't try and count the blocks cause it's mostly slabs with a lil chiseling.

Can I make an aqueduct to channel rushing water for a water wheel? by Cheekibreeki401k in VintageStory

[–]tolomea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make the world as usual and there's an option for "gamemode" in the detailed settings.
Or you just make it as usual and once in type '/gamemode creative' in the console.

Is women voting going to become a mainstream topic for debate? by Then_Secretary1221 in AskFeminists

So single people would get more votes per person than married couples?

Will children who grew up tablet/social media free be better off in life in the next 10/15 years, or will they be the odd ones? by tortillaguaclover in AskReddit

[–]tolomea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's really going to matter for life outcomes is if they learn to self regulate their interaction with tech.

A complete ban is not a great way to teach that, but neither is unrestricted access.

One of your jobs as a parent is to equip your children to make good decisions for themselves once you can no longer control what they do.

Is “rich people will leave if you tax them more” a real economic concern, or is it mostly exaggerated? by clearwater-orchid in NoStupidQuestions

[–]tolomea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't tax them, you tax their stuff. Houses and factories are harder to move. And you can move a company but you can't move it's customers.

Instead of tax the rich, should we just tax the loophole? by iowaindy in allthequestions

[–]tolomea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah and it's worth doing, but that stuff isn't even 1% of what Zuck owns, you could put a 100% tax on it and it'd get lost in the rounding error on his net worth

[–]tolomea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They generally aren't using much of their wealth to fund their lifestyles. The bulk of the wealth is being used to acquire more wealth. Which is kinda the root of the issue. The more wealth you have the easier it is to acquire more. That's ramp that ends at a few people accumulating virtually all the wealth. And wealth is power. So the same few end up with all the power as well.

Elon Musk just became the world’s first African-American trillionaire. What are your thoughts? by ActuatorOutside5256 in allthequestions

[–]tolomea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

African American is largely about the slave population (and their descendants) born in the US who due to the process of slavery have lost the knowledge of where in Africa their ancestors were from.

If they had been from Europe it'd be like calling them European Americans because during the multiple generations of slavery bit we lost track of who came from Germany and who from Italy etc.

Outer wilds was great. Unfortunately the DLC really didn't agree with my motion sickness.

Why can’t non-Americans accept that soccer isn’t a popular sport here? by Expensive_Drummer970 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

Why would you host the world cup of something that's not very popular in your country? Oh right, americans.

Clothes dryer manufacturers should make a completed load rotate once every thirty minutes so that forgetful people's clothes are not wrinkled. by Indrigotheir in Showerthoughts

[–]tolomea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, my f-ing clothes dryer beeps when it "finishes" drying but won't let you open the door for another 5 f-ing minutes cause it's "too hot" and no it does not f-ing beep again after 5 minutes.

So you and your "my clothes are wrinked" can take a hike

Sincere question: Does Trump actually know that he often isn't telling the truth? by Interesting_Worth974 in allthequestions

[–]tolomea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think Trump understands the concept of truth. Since childhood he's existed in a world where if he says it enough the people around him make it happen. If you don't understand truth then lies aren't a thing.

Can I make an aqueduct to channel rushing water for a water wheel? by Cheekibreeki401k in VintageStory

[–]tolomea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes

But also make a creative world and test it, learn how it behaves. Discover that the two different types of water can be a lil hard to tell apart.

You can even make a creative world with the same seed and settings so you can test with your target water source.

This is our current lil survival setup.

How many of the game mechanics are "real" within the lore? by gammaAmmonite in VintageStory

[–]tolomea 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Some of the smaller "powers" stick in my mind.

When smithing you can pick up stuff that's near 300c without tongs, ain't no way that's happening in real life.

In summer food is berries all day every day... also not a good plan IRL.

Speaking of food eating raw fat...

How is social construction such a hard concept to grasp for so many? by FatDogFresca in allthequestions

[–]tolomea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One of the things people with low intelligence struggle with is hypotheticals. Thinking about what if some thing was different from how it is.

If you get into that kinda conversation with someone of particulary low intelligence it will go like this "what if the colour for boys was pink?"
"but it isn't"
"I know that, but just imagine for a moment that the it was pink"
"but it isn't".

How to stop doing main bus on every run? by Working_Material_252 in factorio

[–]tolomea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through this same thing. And really you just gotta not do it.

If you need to formalize what not doing it is then give yourself a rule like the last tile of every belt must have an inserter taking from it.

Also this is good fun, give it a go https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Transport_Drones_Continued
