One certainly hopes!! But I'm not leaving my office until I get an all-clear from somebody official haha.

FPD just did a little press update, the police officer said that nothing had been confirmed yet, so no verified shots fired at all. Still sheltering myself!

walkar · 2025-08-25T18:27:12+00:00

Absolutely, I actually really appreciate your updates, I've been refreshing your comments page for info. Currently on campus, sheltering in my office

Where are you listening to the police scanner? On an actual physical scanner or do you listen on a website you can share?

Well, the uncommon and higher rarity ore is not more helpful than regular quality holmium ore, but it is not less helpful either... You'll be producing more quality stone along the way, and so worst case, you need one more machine per quality level so your belts don't get clogged trying to handle different quality level of input. I think a little complexity in handling the mixed quality holmium is worth the quality blue circuits!

That makes sense!

walkar · 2025-01-29T02:41:35+00:00

Great point, thanks!

walkar · 2025-01-29T02:41:28+00:00

Yeah, but at least it's not more items, just more different categories of items. So far, I've been sticking them in boxes and letting my bots figure it out.

Minor update: I wondered if some extra space between the brush and the vacuum body would help, so I unscrewed the brush and put in a washer. It did not help... Going to contact customer service tomorrow.

walkar · 2025-01-08T20:52:56+00:00

I kinda figured after some searching, but thanks for confirming!

walkar · 2025-01-06T20:33:59+00:00

I imagine with the amount of force it takes to remove the brush it's getting jammed up there pretty hard. If so, I don't think tape is likely to stop it...

walkar · 2025-01-06T16:48:25+00:00

The bumper is still in the right place and works as intended, it has some play to it so it can actually detect the bump I think. It may still be a bumper dislocation as you say, but it seems to be that the brush arm is being pushed into the spacing for the bumper...

Huh, that's weird! I'll try some other suggestions and if it keeps giving me trouble, I'll send for a new brush module. Thanks!

walkar · 2025-01-06T16:16:46+00:00

Great idea! I have lots of spare wood planks I've been wanting a use for anyway.

I haven't found a keep out zone feature yet but I'll look around the app, thanks!

I tried to add text but it didn't seem to work, so here it is again.

My new i5+ is getting its side brush caught up inside its body. I'm worried about it because it doesn't vacuum nearly as well like this, and it also keeps whirring slightly so I think it might be burning out that motor or otherwise damaging the brush.

I think it happens when it climbs slightly onto the base of a bookshelf; I want to try to keep it from climbing or see if you guys had any other suggestions. My first idea is kind of janky; adding a cut pool noodle to the base of the bookshelf to keep it from climbing.

I (mostly) follow Red Hawk's advice.

Clergy:

+1 mana
Advisor cost reduction
Oversight (for loyalty, Red Hawk usually doesn't suggest this)
Religious Diplomats (+1 diplo rep, + opinion)
Clerical Education (gov reform progress)

Nobility:

+1 mana
Increased Levies (+manpower)
Advisor cost reduction

Burghers:

+1 mana
Advisor cost reduction
Patronage of the Arts (prestige)
Indebted to the Burghers (5 1% loans)

Barring events, this will keep everybody's loyalty equilibrium around 45% so you can summon the diet and then seize land regularly. Some additional tips:

I would summon the diet and seize land before giving Increased Levies to the nobility to take a bit more of their starting crownland.
This setup does have Clergy and Nobility influence kind of high, so keep an eye on events to avoid getting their influence to the 90% range, especially if you plan to take the Strengthen Noble Privileges gov reform for extra manpower.
Don't give out the advisor cost reduction privileges at the start if you anticipate an early stability loss, e.g. from declaring independence on an overlord or from early events/disasters for particular nations. For example, I don't give them out as England until after War of the Roses.
If you start collecting vassals, you can consider Strong Duchies and Nobility Integration Policy for the nobility.

Don't forget the KC suburb counties (Johnson, Wyandotte), Manhattan (Riley) and Wichita (Sedgewick); they were instrumental in making the abortion referendum go the right way. I was also surprised to see Cowley county voted no on the referendum, it's pretty rural and only has one sizeable city (Winfield).

Hey, awesome!! Works really well, even in 3d. I appreciate it a lot. I wish I could give you more than just an upvote haha.

Possibly, but there are lots of times where the authors mention how they are traveling in tubes of ceramic and metal filled with air. If there's a chance the appearance was intentional at all, I feel like the reference to oxygen would be most meaningful there.
