We should bring this back, but to the US.

By that I mean literally sucking up stuff. The vent fan above my stove only seems to actually pull anything in while it's on low; setting it to high makes it louder but stops pulling any smoke or steam up through the hood. I'm just curious how the hell that works; shouldn't a faster spinning fan suck MORE? Is there some property of aerodynamics that was forgotten when they installed this shit?

Sister was messing around with a UV light and noticed this on her phone screen under it. My phone does not have this (all I get is a grid of dots I'm pretty sure are to do with the touch screen).

I promise to study! Just stop... Advertising to me! 😱

This song feels fitting, given certain things going on right now.

I meticulously make roads and keep bed rooms nearby to the work the colonist is supposed to be doing, but I am still noticing that, without extra Common Sense, PUAH or Haul+ tasks being appended to their current action, they tend to take the longest possible route to reach their destinations. Like, I have a kitchen right in the center of my entire compound, with shelves and fridges to store the food in everyone's bedroom. He finished making a meal and was taking it to a building like 16 tiles away to the left. Instead of just going directly there, the dumbass goes right, out the walls (despite being assigned to a zone that doesn't allow them to leave the safety of said walls), around the entire perimeter of the compound, enters back in from the south and then proceeds up the 400 tiles or so back to the room that was super close to where he started. 😬

Is there, like, a mod that allows me to set pathing priorities like you can in Dwarf Fortress, or do I just need to give them brain implants that make them not so stupid?

We kinda know what happens if you get sucked into a black hole because of math (spaghettification, what outside observers would see, etc); can the same be said about worm holes? Would you even notice if you passed through one? What would they look like? What would someone watching someone else go through a wormhole look like?

These guys are new to me since the last time I played, so IDK what's up. I have a dead one just chilling in my freezer and nobody will do anything with it. It's not counting as a corpse? When trying to force it at the butcher or creamtorium, it says no corpse available; but they did stick him in the corpse pile.

I am using the Alien Races and Anthro Race mods, which might be fucking things up, but this is a default race, and even with the xeno ideology additions, my colony is set to not GAF about eating people (human or alien); not to mention they'd burn or bury it anyway, just because it's a corpse that isn't one of us. Not sure how to dispose of this fuzzbutt and stop the negative thoughts upon seeing him while grabbing some chow.

Edit: He weighs too much! IDK how the hell they carried him to the freezer in the first place though... He weighs 60kg, and the maximum anyone can carry is 34kg. :/

Edit 2: Even though I had already tried this, setting my crematorium to allow everything then forcing them to cremate bodies worked just now. Doing the same thing with the butcher table didn't, and I had already tried this last night with both before I made the post and it wasn't working... Ugh... 😮‍💨

Two reasons, actually.

1. It's not their preferred preparation. All the replicated food is based on a pattern from an original recipe. It's not adding flair or anything, it's literally a copy of a dish made who knows how long ago. And that's where the next reason comes from:

2. Imagine eating some spicy pepper dish from, like, the 1940's vs the same dish made today with spicer peppers. It wouldn't be as spicy eating something that wasn't, at the time, really selectively bred to be more spicy. If the recipe for the replicator is, like, hundreds of years old it would probably not be as potent as the same dish made with real ingredients.

I can imagine that the characters that have expressed disdain for replicated food probably get hit by both of these. It's not the way they would preferred it to be made, and it's also like eating vegetable jello salad in 2024.

Would it be possible to have that added as a method of sorting posts on Lemmy? Instead of including votes, or just the most recent comments, "Active" and "Hot" could also include simply what's being looked at even if nobody is actually interacting with it in any other way. Actually kinda baffled why this is already a thing on SM.

Also I wasn't sure where to really post this, which is why it's here.

I've never had a work of fiction affect me so and I don't know what to do other than talk about it. I keep making myself cry wishing it all was real and I was there on Adastra or Khemia with Amicus and Neferu.

I've certainly felt a fondness for characters and wanted to be transported to fictional worlds before but... Not like this. Not this badly. And it's not even the visuals that drew me to any of the characters; I've seen their images a lot before ever playing the game and didn't have the same pull toward them as I do now, knowing their personalities.

This is so fucked up and stupid and I feel dumb for even admitting how it's making me feel, but I just have to because otherwise I'm going to overflow. 😖
