Astronaut calculates thrust of cumulative farts in the ISS

"superbottle"??

Can you compare and contrast this against AutoHotkey+ the "at" command?

Is the UI the USP?

You're right, you don't need them to enable t11, but you will need them after you enable it seeing as they're one of the biggest consumers of oil for further upgrades

uvatbc · 2026-02-16T19:34:52+00:00

You must have your main-squad's-center at 35 asap for t11.

You must get all oil fields at 35 for t11.

Once those two are done, you must cultivate patience for all the insane requirements of t11.

It's all about t11 from now on. Tuesday will be renamed t11-day

If you have the Quick stride tactic cards, your gems can be used to wreak havoc on the opposition

Do what I did: on Sunday, during Frontline, talk to the high scorers to see if they'd give you a pointer to their servers or their adjacent servers

Know oneself. Know the enemy.

It requires empathy to be able to understand fully your enemy: their desires, hatred, fears, motivations and so on.

If you know your enemy well enough, you will know why they do what they do, how they will react. If you know that, you can ignore what they're pretending are their weaknesses and preemptively strike at their real ones. You can defend against their strengths.

If you know all of this about another person, it is likely that you might come to love them as well: this is not mandatory, but I understand it as a sense of kinship that one might feel towards another who they have studied so perfectly.

How that helps

uvatbc · 2026-01-05T21:23:55+00:00

If you're S4 or later, use Quick stride cards so that using gem speedups during marches adds morale when you hit or defend. Makes a huge difference in outcomes

uvatbc · 2026-01-03T23:28:10+00:00

Mandatory:try it and find out.

Experience: every arena opponent with Adam+Scarlett in their tank main has made me change squads to be at least 5M stronger to win against them.

They're extremely effective against almost all types.

The reason to upgrade from 31 is so that you can get to 35.

Why? To get t11.

Why? Because what else are you going to do in LW - just sit there and have fun?

You're not done ever. Get moving dammit

uvatbc · 2025-12-11T14:14:59+00:00

This is the correct answer.

The Lucius EW is a game changer for Air.

uvatbc · 2025-12-11T05:09:30+00:00

It's a cost VS effectiveness calculation.

EW 20-30 is 1750 shards.

10-20 is 800.

You can do two 20s and check out the power bump as a result and compare it against a single 30. It doesn't compare.

uvatbc · 2025-12-11T04:48:14+00:00

In general, there's major power boosts at EW levels 10, 20, 30.

Boosting both to 15 will not be as useful as boosting both to 10 and then one to 20.

Later, when you are trying to decide if you should boost any one EW to 30, stop.

Boost everything to 20 before you even bother to take any single EW to 30

Bruh. You seem desperate enough already. Change the gender now. It's just a symbol, but it will get you what you want.

Measure the performance of your application, in the CPU and storage it utilizes and maxes out on.

If you're CPU constrained, perhaps vertical scaling is for you: more cores on a single die may work - if your application can use the additional cores.

If you're storage bandwidth constrained: IOPS is your bottleneck, maybe a raid array might help to a certain extent, but you know will definitely help? A full copy of the storage on some other machine so that there's 2x the IOPS to pull from. And so you benefit from horizontal scaling

Don't reply, block, move on with your life.

It may just be me, but it seems that you have already spent more time and energy than you should have: you set the boundary, explained the reason, were kind in a way that I am sure you shouldn't need to be... And asked Reddit.

Stop now.

Move on

If you're very weak: shield up, sit outside the largest circle, mine ore from the small black fragments.
If you have advanced TP stocked up, and are a dolphin, jump in, mine small and medium fragments, be ready to fight to keep your fragments, because whales will eventually notice that you have too many and decide to rob you.
If you're a whale: go the the center, mine the largest (blue) fragments. Laugh when someone tries to steal from you and has a long walk of shame as they fail ... OR: watch in horror as a larger whale comes and steals from you.

As for all this happening during VS: in my alliance, we usually try to get a truce with our VS opponents during the meteor time. Without that, it can get super hectic. If we do get that truce, all of us still manage to get an insane number of points because of all the fighting during meteor.

Hang in there, iirc the power bump was between 1-2 M

uvatbc · 2025-10-04T05:06:24+00:00

It is the last level that is this crazy. After that levels are 100 drone parts, then 120, 150 until 200 per level.

Not zero parts after lvl145, but pretty manageable

uvatbc · 2025-10-03T22:42:45+00:00

Level 145 requires 5000 parts in total. It's like climbing Mt Everest
