Are you guys really that much into maple syrup?

Ps. What’s the best wedding gift for a Canadian living abroad?

Yes please

I don’t get it tbh, someone enlighten me please.

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

You can always say: ‘I’m reading a book or watch series x atm, why what are you up to / why do you wanna know?’

Choose a book or series you know by heart and you always have an alibi.

If they are the kind who asks are you free on day x? Without stating a reason ask ‘why do you wanna know?’ Or say ‘I think I’ve got plans that day why?’

The takeaway here is, don’t fall in traps like that. Be smarter about your answer.

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?

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.

Naive hopeful me: maybe they will use it in the way it’s described. For gathering ideas, developing concepts. Hopefully a character generation tool. Where it leads you through step by step and keeps track of all things. Probably not gonna happen. Probably they use it to write the damn rule books with them including art.

You are like two steps away from turning into a bakery.

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.
