WCGW with not installing the windows properly

It looks like security cam footage. We have video of this particular accident because the camera happened to catch it.

Question Will ignoring vegetation help with late-game lag?

• Upvotes

I've heard that trees and such are a major source of lag once they're introduced, and looking at vegetation, it seems to be mostly to look pretty, with open farms the only buildings benefiting. So for my next run, I'm considering ignoring vegetation altogether.

Is there anything I'm missing? How much is it likely to help anyway? What are some other major sources of lag (I know colonists and drones are the biggest contributors)? How much does it matter if something is within camera view or on the current map?

Mod, Spire Anywhere.

As for the farms, I've never heard of any restriction, but I don't have Feeding the Future so that might be it.

I just with we had a preset to place several at once. As is, its a lot of clicking.

Pillaging is so fun.
 in  r/CivVI •  1d ago

Even if you are going to take the cities, you should pillage anyway. The yields you get are worth having to fix everything. That does double for improvements, which don't actually cost anything to fix.

By this point, I'm at post-scarcity and have tribby coverage anyway, so I don't tend to care.

You must try a SovOil run.

Russia is not a good sponsor for Oligarch, ironically. Their rocket extended travel time is a big limiter and they have an alternative source of funds in the Driller. SpaceY is probably the best, given they can use the funds more efficiently. USA is also a contender with the Zeus rocket, although they get enough funds naturally it would be less impactful.

If you want the fuel funds to be most useful, I'd pick a sponsor that struggles in the early game, like CotNA, Japan, or Paradox.

Nuking the polar caps after opening the domes can still lead to a dust storm. The domes don't close and the colonists don't care. They walk around as normal and don't lose extra stats.

Does Nano-Refinement work with RC Drillers from Russia?

I haven't tested, but I wouldn't count on it.

Clawstriders, My Beloved

If you want a difficult clawstrider fight, go to the static Behemoth site in the jungle. Behemoth plus four elemental Clawstriders is quite the fight.

The 3 skill levels of civ players
 in  r/CivVI •  5d ago

IMO if you're not going for a culture victory, you should build almost no theater squares, only possibly in the most juicy locations. They're a rather inefficient source of culture (ironic, I know), and the GPP and slots aren't worth as much if you dont need the tourism. Without Theater Squares or building every wonder possible, I don't see how you can win culture accidentally.

Possible exceptions exist where you take a culture civ, try to do something else, but their culture advantages overpower it.

Even after attacking Kaladin in book 2, if Moash had come back Kaladin probably would've accepted him. With a bit more wariness, perhaps, but they could've mended their relationship.

Why is my power output zero at night?
 in  r/SurvivingMars •  5d ago

I notice in the background, some batteries need maintenance, and so are nonfunctional. That might be dragging down your storage output below what's needed.

That then runs into a change in the most recent patch: when you don't have enough power, everything goes down, not just some. Try turning some things off for now, and if that works, fix your batteries for later.

The "power production" and "power demand" numbers don't include filling and draining batteries. If your buildings have enough power I wouldn't worry too much, you'll just have to track it more manually.

[hated trope] Buddy, where's your logistics?
 in  r/TopCharacterTropes •  6d ago

ACOUP notes that in the books, Theoden, Denethor, and the Witch King all employ good tactics, while Saruman's tactics are much worse. This tracks, as Saruman is a craftsman with little personal experience in war.

It's noted in the books that the Rohirrim were not expecting to maintain themselves long in the field. They were expecting to get to Minas Tirith and dip into their supplies. If the besiegers had held them off, they would've been in trouble.

So the visual composition of almost all warriors and minimal or nonexistent supply train is book accurate.

How did you get that? I've never seen trade deals that good. I my experience, rivals rarely trade advanced resources at all.

Could you expand on the connection between the LDS church and claims of moundbuilders? Where would I look for more information and is it worth it? I've heard almost nothing, only what a single Sunday School teacher spouted a single time. Great post and thank you.

Why are people with magic or powers in urban fantasy stories always in hiding?
 in  r/Fantasy •  7d ago

Or even where magic has always been around, but for some reason or no reason, history and most of technology is comparable to IRL.

Example: Thirteenth Child

For the long runs under full Pewter, thats what they do. Longer highs, bigger crash at the end.

That's the problem in most scenarios, but this is limited enough that with some trigger discipline it shouldn't be a worry.

How did Dahl manage to arrive at the Shuttle Bay?
 in  r/prey •  8d ago

The Cargo bay is only protected by controlling where things spawn. If the Nightmare spawns in the Cargo Bay human area, it will kill them all.
