Might be one of the small pillars. They are orange by default I believe.

I believe you called it the trunk (truck?) line, in the cave where it curves.

Amazing built, how do you managed to align the walkway that way?

I don’t know how to feel about the changes. The tall buildings take away the view from there but the buildings themself ain’t too bad looking. Plus the addition of all the trees helps a lot.

Probably only in the same way cartoons made kids belief that gravity only takes affect when one looks to the audience. Most often, most kids won’t transfer any of that to reality but we all had that one kid at our school who was reaaaaaally close to do the Naruto run.

That’s just depressing.

I’ve got a similar set of stages but mine also include:

Wondering if I should just restart at a new location, feeling intensifies when looking at the spagetti.

Walking away looking for hard drives for three hours.

Spending hours detailing a pipeline/belt system.

Realising that the last extension of my factory wasn’t hooked to electricity/raw inputs, thus aggregating issues with previous stages.

We are all built differently, my dad still plays to this day the settlers 4. Not even the history edition, but the one I installed (from CD!) for him a decade or more ago. Don’t know how he does it.

Why does everyone assume books equals novels. The books loaned might have been text books or even journals.

I often built one big tower on stilts with empty ‘maintenance’ floors in between factory floors in which I hide lots of spaghetti. I often have had a mall (subject to change now) and usually set out to built part X, get the raw resources needed and cram it all on one floor of the tower.

I have also previously abused the fact that you can use trains to get under the water line. Deep enough under it and you won’t get damaged. Have built myself an under water base a la bioshock. Was great fun.

Now in 1.0 I have set up my main base and I am considering options of where and what to do. Just got my trains and will see where it takes me.

I’m currently over-engineering the starter base, I plan for tubes, increases in throughput, change of input requirements due to alternative recipes and separating the power grid to be able to toggle specific parts on and off. I soon want to produce reinforced iron plates…

Have currently the milestone for coal selected and am about half way. But my doggy collection grows I am at 5 dogs now.

I find it extremely unsettling, this tactic. It could have hit anyone and I think it should be condemned. Just imagine the outcry if Russia should have done that in the Ukraine.

To be fair, they do use the same language often enough when reporting about police shootings. Which does not make it any better though.

Same, never heard of it before this post.

Tbh both. I gather from posts around the issue that Denuvo sucks ass / is not that popular. So now I wonder, why choose to include something that is apparently unpopular and why do people think it is dumb to include.

Whats the deal with Denuvo?

Imagine the carnage, if the headline was correct the way you read it first…

All the time on science memes, try going back to ‘best of all time’. It can also make modding on mobile quite a pain, when you as a mod can’t see the post. Though the failed to load media is, what I have heard not due to the app itself but that the link in the post is broken and the app just has not indexed the post yet. Which is why other apps may show the post correctly because they indexed it before the link broke. However I can not remember where I read that. So it might be completely false.

It happens to the best of us, those Junk Mail Nation guys are not to be trusted. One introduced himself to me as deposed prince in exile looking for some help to land. Almost fell for it though.

In a sense - yes it is good to ‘be like everyone else’. Now before you all downvote, ask yourself what do we consider normal? When becomes a behaviour problematic?

we assume behaviour falls on a bell curve. At the extreme ends is behaviour that’s is considered to be ‘abnormal’ as in not normal and in the in-between is what we consider normal and what most people do. Abnormal does not mean bad or detrimental to one’s health however; it often sparks a negative reaction from others.

In line with this is the ‘insult’ to be extra unique, different or special would be not normal because most people are not at the end of the bell curve.

If we apply this to mental health: you may feel depressed at times. Doesn’t mean anything but the more days you feel that way, the further to the end of the bell curve do you move. At some point you are an outlier and we can safely say: you have a major depression. Now this is simplified but it gets the point across.

In other areas it is better to not be extremely unique, too. Think of school, in my experience being different is not a problem but being extremely different to your peers will have negative impact on you. They might pick on you or outright ignore you. This is not justifying this it is sadly how it often goes.
