I doubt anyone bothered to file for anything. Every small game company I ever worked for missed paychecks. My last place owed me a year's salary.

Fascinating stuff about superold artifacts and scientists being jerks

Do those use the basic heat exchange electricity generation that a RTG uses? Or do they turn steam turbines or what?

Well in gamey terms it was more for planets with thinner crusts. It is an engineering challenge. Need better heat resistant materials etc. And someone that just wants to do it to say they did. It would probably never pay off financially.

It is something I've looked into, mainly for gamey reasons. There have been several attempts at digging super deep holes and none of them went well. Getting industry into space is probably easier. The gamey reason I looked into it is because I loved Starwars Galaxies mining. They never...

That is gold thank you. I had another bad accident with the taming stuff. When I mobilize for a big defense I normally swap them into armor and gather them up. This time I just left everyone armored for the duration, but I'll still see if they are in the middle of eating or if they badly need...

We will eventually be forced to expand into space or find some way to mine the mantle. I've been designing a survival style game with more realistic details on crafting and as said above there's a huge chain of dependencies. Alot of processing uses big electrically charged tanks to separate...

I made it off world with the Stellarch. It was brutal. I forget how many days it was but the first day was chill. Then 3 mech raids that were 6 hours apart. Just as the medics finished patching people up and their heads hit the pillow another one showed up. Then the pirates and gangsters...

Read House of Suns by Alistair Reynolds. In that future humanity is mostly self absorbed and content with telescope images. But a few staggeringly rich people are bored and decide they want to see and experience the entire galaxy. Given the vast distances and years it takes just to get to a...

Hmm they do that if the pen isn't enclosed. Sometimes the animals will make a bid for freedom and your handlers will go round em up. It is comical to watch.

It started to turn a little bit more city favoured when the home games got rolling. Then covid messed all that up. I really wanted to see home games in Paris. The french are nuts. The world cup games there were so awesome.

This stuff: Gave an announcement in game as well as the discord channel. There's not a single thing from Velious in there.

Did they not bother with Velious cheevos or has nobody taken down a single raid target yet?

The overwatch league is one of 3 sports I follow (the others motoGP and formula 1) so I have strange taste I guess. They made a few critical errors: Ignored the existing "scene" when starting. Before all the city based teams you had teams like fnatic and cloud9 and ninjas in pajamas etc...

Reading the descriptions on the Marine armor and particularly Phoenix, I think these are a homage to Joel Sheperd's spiral wars book series. My 40ish days of volcanic winter are over. I ping ponged between starving and having so much food I couldn't store it all. Now I've got 1000+ insect...

Well I guess everyone in the shuttle starved. The shuttle vanished and they all appeared dead on the ground and I got like 50 points of negative goodwill.

7 out of 15 colonists were slightly angry that I replaced my ruined kidney with one from the enemy that shot me. I got a bugged shuttle crash mission. Killed all the bad guys, good shuttle arrives to pick people up, everyone gets on board. Says it is still waiting for Damiane. There's no...

I don't have the religion stuff yet, but I'll check next time I have a prisoner. Yea no option for enslave. Maybe that comes with religion.

I'm like 15 matches behind trying to catch up. The pharah action has been a joy to watch

I've got 5 of those set up in rimworld ⚡

How does the slave thing work? I bought one early on and they just joined my colony like normal. I need to look into that auto slaughter thing. One problem I noticed with ducks is they would lay an egg and someone would run way out into the pens to get it, and just grab that one. It was like...

BTW, when I got my good crafter back that meant I had 2 people to run the component factories. I was holding off on getting promoted to Countess because the description has all this stuff about not being able to work. I went ahead with it and I seem to just keep working fine.

This is the first time I've really gone crazy with animals. They are a pain to deal with. I did have one dwarf fortress game where cats bred out of control. The dwarves would adopt them and then go into a drunken rage when they eventually died to something stupid.

I give raiders a proper burial. I did harvest a kidney once though. Now I just make better kidneys :D

One thing you can do for components is dig tunnels through rocks to see if you can spot any compacted machinery hidden in the depths. Dig horizontal line, skip 2 dig another etc.

A wicked lance Stinkbug made. I gave it to a melee guy thinking it was a melee weapon but it shoots stuff. Michael makes a huge grand sculpture of himself making a dresser. And it is shaped like the death star. A bed engraved with hentai I guess her Aunt is a gunsmith

Some art my little minions have generated. This is from the Lordling misogynist: The badass shotgun I lost to that buggy capture scenario: This one is relevant to what was going on at the time. Art about the toxic cloud during a toxic fallout event. Boomalopes getting that can often lead...

This is a constant headache: Hard to tell with the colours being random on zones, but that is a megasloth wandering about my base leaving filth everywhere. Some of the big beasts do that. So you designate an inside and an outside and restrict them to the outside. But you can see above, I...

This lady went on a fire starting spree so I tried to arrest her and she went berserk. The deputized fellow had a monoblade. I didn't think to drop it until the leg was chopped off Same lady getting married to the annoying lord guy. One of my two crazy old men starts a fight and the wedding...

3 serums and a big pile of uranium, yes please! The cat approaching made me very nervous. I remember one game where I had some res serum on hand, but when a very valued colonist died, his own pets ate him before I could apply it :emoji_laughing: Arise bug and make me amazing armor!

We used a pali tank in time, I think on a zek?

Ice land is out? The cheevo channel on discord hasn't moved since May.

Midway into my campaign of destroying all pirate settlements I get a quest failed notification on my Baroness title quest. I look at the quest screen and it has a little representation of me in the bottom and I'm dead. I can click that and see that I got basically 2 diseases at once. At this...

No luck finding myself. I think at this point I'm going to build a set of really high end gear and destroy every pirate settlement one by one via drop pod attacks. I'm going to need alot of plasteel

Watch Fielder's tongue :emoji_laughing: I think he's actually aroused by all the murder

I'm showing up in people's social as belonging to the pirate faction now. I guess I'll start scouting the pirate settlements nearby. I did the closest one and I could look at the enemy socials to see if any knew me and none did. Maybe I can "arrest" and not accidentally kill my character.

This is very true. My first gig was 30k a year. I did discover some funny tricks at one employer. Some small game places will do side gigs with biz outside games for software or whatever. I was at a bar in vegas with the bosses and the contract stuff was on the table and I could see they had...

When do we get a test of that monster?

So lots of openings now? I need to get back innit. Soon as I finish this Rimworld game I'll think about it.
