01:11 * Schism offers Thelema5 some slices of salami.

01:11 <Schism> (Well, vegetarian salami.)

01:12 <Thelema5> Thanksie!

01:12 <Schism> Slicing salamis is a profitable business.

01:13 <Cyan_Spark> slippery

01:13 <Thelema5> Speaking of, just had a burger better than the impossible burger /and/ the beyond burger... so beefy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXKWkcrhqq4

01:13 <Thelema5> I /do/ miss salami though

01:14 <Schism> Hmmm!  Might have to try those.

01:18 <Thelema5> Schism, are you still working on that salami you bought last week?

01:18 <Finwe> Messrs Cyan_Spark, Schism and Thelema5.

01:18 * Finwe doffs his hat.

01:18 * Thelema5 salutes Finwe

01:18 <Schism> Nah, it didn't last more than a few days.

01:18 <Finwe> o7

01:18 <Thelema5> XD

01:18 * Cyan_Spark sweeps a forehoof cross the other and bows at Finwe

01:19 <Finwe> Might be the last day this year I cycle home from the university wearing shorts.

01:19 <Finwe> I should have left earlier, it's almost half past four in the morning. x_x

01:21 <Thelema5> O.o

01:21 <Thelema5> Yikes

02:23 * Ali flops over Stormspark

02:23 * Stormspark oofs

02:23 <Stormspark> wait, do any of the kirin we saw have wings?  I don't think they do haha

02:24 <ADragonDreaming> Kirin generally don't have wings, but fly anyway.

02:26 <Finwe> Yup.

02:26 <Schism> Or occasional eat unwary Hunters.

02:26 <Finwe> Or, rather, walk among the clouds.

02:26 <Schism> occasionally*

02:27 <Finwe> "they will refuse to walk upon grass for fear of harming a single blade, and thus are often depicted walking upon the clouds or the water"

02:30 <Finwe> !lullaby

02:30 * DerpyBot carries Finwe off to bed

02:30 * DerpyBot tucks Finwe in and hums a lullaby

02:30 <PinkieShy> I feel dizzy all of a sudden..

02:30 <Finwe> Good night, everypony!

02:30 <PinkieShy> Laid down for 30 minutes.. STill dizzy..

02:30 <PinkieShy> Started like 30 minutes after the cereal.

02:31 <PinkieShy> or an hour after.. idk exactly.

02:31 <Ali> Sugar high?

02:31 <PinkieShy> Idk

02:31 <Stormspark> I didn't see any of them flying

02:31 <Ali> MLP Kirin didn't fly

02:31 <Stormspark> I'm not talking about the mythological creatures, I'm talking about the MLP kirin

02:31 <Ali> They do walk on water

02:32 <Stormspark> they do look a lot better than the WOW version of that creature

02:33 *** Joins: RazorSharpFang (RazorSharpF@Pony-8v0.qmo.63.203.IP)

02:33 * Ali pounces RazorSharpFang

02:33 <RazorSharpFang> Good morning.

02:33 <RazorSharpFang> Hey Ali

02:33 * Ali snugs on RazorSharpFang

02:34 <PinkieShy> I think i should stick with honey nut cheerios and cheerios as my reg cereals..

02:34 <RazorSharpFang> I got oil production running, and it's superceding coal consumption so we have no fuel issues for the foreseeable future.

02:34 <RazorSharpFang> PinkieShy, you could always do what I do. Porridge.

02:35 <RazorSharpFang> Which is basically just oats with optional honey.

02:35 <PinkieShy> I can get oatmeal with honey

02:35 * Ali puffycheeks at RazorSharpFang, when did they do that on her!

02:36 <RazorSharpFang> Oats are also usually really cheap. I can pick up a kilogram of oats for $2 at the local supermarket.

02:36 <RazorSharpFang> Ali, I did that last night quickly. I also increased efficiency on that neat mini-bus you did. It's great. :3

02:36 <PinkieShy> RazorSharpFang i bet the real oatmeal stuff that you gotta cook first is better than instant..

02:37 <PinkieShy> But.. Question.. Can you eat the oatmeal without cooking..

02:37 * Ali doesn't know what minibus? She just had to do something cause she was massively bored last afternoon.

02:37 <RazorSharpFang> I use quickoats. You CAN eat just oats. They

02:37 <RazorSharpFang> are not that great.

02:37 <RazorSharpFang> I do mine in the microwave. :3

02:38 *** Joins: Nuclear (Nuclear@Pony-bur5te.9br1.2t1i.0001.2600.IP)

02:38 * Schism rather likes steel-cut oats, even if they're best cooked for an hour.

02:39 <RazorSharpFang> Ali, will you join me in Factorio for a bit?

02:39 <Nuclear> Invest in individual but stable dividend-paying stocks--a portfolio of at least 20 or more is recommended with annual yields of 4% to 5% or more, and with annual yields increasing by 2% to 3% or more per year. The average annual growth of the stock value itself should grow by at least 6% to 7% per year, and the amount of money you put in each year should be increasing by at least 2% to 3% or more per year.

02:39 <PinkieShy> I'm probably going to ditch cereal for a while..

02:39 <PinkieShy> Go to oats.. Try to teach myself to fall in love.

02:39 <RazorSharpFang> Nuclear, I've got a few stock(s) like that. Mostly invested in major banks, but got a few telcos and service providers too.

02:40 <RazorSharpFang> PinkieShy, oats are great nutritionally, and they're ultra cheap so they're just great overall, but they're not that tasty.

02:40 <PinkieShy> I'm probably going for quaker jar brand :P

02:41 <RazorSharpFang> PinkieShy, I just use store-brand generic-brand oats. :3

02:47 <PinkieShy> Funny thing about store brands.. They are most likely from the brand name factory :P

02:47 <PinkieShy> Just they produce it for the say great value brand as well.. Possibly..

02:49 <PinkieShy> Like Great Value peanut butter taste like peter pan brand..

02:50 <PinkieShy> Aldi's peanut butter taste like Jiff to me.

03:44 <Schism> Eh, store brands are usually meant to taste somewhat similar to one 'on-brand', though sometimes there'll be different types, like how you can probably find six different varieties of No Name corn.

03:45 <Schism> (The brand has a name.  Its name is 'No Name'.)

03:52 <Thelema5> Many store brands are the same thing as the name brandes, just sold under a private label

03:52 <Thelema5> *brands

03:53 <Thelema5> Case in point, the pharmacy I work for right now has a bunch of "best-in-class" products under their own brand... but they are ALL just relabeled products from a well known manufacter...

03:54 <Thelema5> I mean, exactly the same product.  They just put a different label on them, and we charge 20% less

03:54 <Thelema5> We also get them for less, because no name brand marketing etc

09:30 <Unixkitty> Isn't that an aurora?

09:30 <Unixkitty> Frankly that's the only name I've ever heard it called

09:33 <Finwe> Unixkitty: In the Samic folklore, the cause of the northern lights was told to be a firefox that runs across the sky.

09:34 <Finwe> Northern lights being indeed called aurora borealis in Latin.

09:34 <Finwe> And southern lights aurora australis, respectively.

09:35 <Finwe> "Aurora" actually means dawn or sunrise.

09:37 <Finwe> In Swedish we would say "norrsken", which means northern glow, and in Finnish revontuli, which in turn means foxfire.

09:37 *** Quits: Filly_Nightmares (Surreal@Cutest.Floofy.Changeling.Batpone) (Connection closed)

09:38 <Finwe> The Finnish word has a connection to the Samic folklore, foxfire being the trail of the firefox. o3o

09:39 <Unixkitty> That is quite educating, thank you

09:41 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.

09:41 <Finwe> The coulour varies from purple to green to orange, depending on the energy of the particles causing the aurora.

09:42 <Finwe> "colour", even

09:42 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, you can ignore the anime background. It has nothing to do with the song whatsoever.

09:42 <Finwe> Poor DerpyBot got lost searching for Twi.

09:42 <ConfusionRift> Not sure why, the wallpaper reminded me of this.

09:55 <Finwe> Indeed.

09:56 <Finwe> It took her, what, over four minutes to return from Twilight.

10:00 <RazorSharpFang> Good night Ali

10:11 <Unixkitty> What's the point of saying goodbye to someone who's already left?

10:12 <ConfusionRift> I guess it's projected? (shrugs) Goodbyyyyyeeeeee!

10:13 <Unixkitty> I somehow doubt that :P

10:16 <Finwe> o3o

10:16 <ConfusionRift> The heck is that?

10:17 <Finwe> Time to go. See you later, everypony.

10:17 <Unixkitty> If you walk into it your game gradually starts looking like this, worse and worse the closer you are to it https://i.imgur.com/8ez4MHB.png

10:17 <RazorSharpFang> Unixkitty, I don't have quit or join messages enabled.

10:17 <Unixkitty> Until it looks like you're playing a black-and-white ascii Minecraft

10:17 <Unixkitty> If you move away from it, it sloooooooooooowly goes back to normal, also very gradually

10:18 <Unixkitty> https://i.imgur.com/6B4Ra6c.png

10:18 <Finwe> RazorSharpFang: In those cases there is always the possibility of checking who are in the channel, or using nick completion.

10:19 <ConfusionRift> Actually... That looks awesome.

10:20 <Finwe> Although "Ali" is a rather short nick, and hence easier to write without completion.

10:21 <Unixkitty> It's from a very enthusiastic and quality mod, one of the fun gimmicks the author decided to put it for the heck of it :P

10:26 * Surreal_Nightmares snugglies into ConfusionRift and uses Finwe as a blanket! She uses Unixkitty as a plushie and goes sleepies!

13:20 <Cepheid> I awaken stressed and annoyed thanks to a comic.

13:20 <ADragonHoarding> eh?

13:21 <Cepheid> Not something I want to discuss here.

13:21 <ADragonHoarding> ah.

13:27 <Cepheid> Anyhoo, that out of the way, how is everyone?

13:28 <ADragonHoarding> Tirededed.

13:28 <ADragonHoarding> I keep picking the wrong e-mail template.

13:28 <RazorSharpFang> Doing pretty good myself

13:29 <Cepheid> My ears won't let up on being blocked.  Getting annoyed, as the hearing loss is pretty profound.

13:30 <Cepheid> The TV in the living room is set to the usual comfortable volume level, and I can't hear a thing out of it.

13:30 <ADragonHoarding> ech

13:32 <Cepheid> And while yeah, I've only been on the antibiotics for a few days now, I'd have expected to have noticed something by now.  I'm starting to get a bit worried that the ear infection from my childhood has spontaneously decided to come back.

13:34 *** Tempo-Sleep is now known as Tempo

13:39 <Cepheid> I'm sure by the end of the round of antibiotics I'll be fine.

13:40 <ADragonHoarding> hopefully

13:41 * ConfusionRift thumbs up. "It'll get better before you know it!"

13:41 <Cepheid> https://paleofuture.gizmodo.com/did-the-release-of-the-iphone-cause-millennials-to-move-1829432492#_ga=2.35256481.1091107523.1537817055-29496370.1537817055 ... Are you bloody kidding me. *Sighs*

13:41 * Cepheid does breathing exercises, the world seems stupid today and it's getting to him.

13:42 <ConfusionRift> I... heeeeeeehhh?! I just... nope. This is getting erased from the timeline!

13:43 <Cepheid> Oh, it's Scott Adams that put that idea forward.

13:43 <ConfusionRift> Erased as well!

13:44 <Cepheid> Yes, yes.

13:45 <ConfusionRift> Okay, this is funny. The article even says that all that is garbage.

13:47 <Cepheid> Yeah.

13:47 <Cepheid> I'm just incredulous at the idea.

13:47 <ConfusionRift> Also, if the idiot was gonna use the graph as a meter, it points at around the end of 2005.

13:48 <ConfusionRift> Wait no, 2008, yeah. Still, it's just incredibly... moving on.

13:48 <Cepheid> I live with my parents, admittedly, because of student debt, and because working a job and attending school at the same time is a stupid, stupid idea.  College and University is to be treated like a full-time job already.

13:48 <Cepheid> There's also the high cost of trying to live by one's self these days.

13:49 <Cepheid> It's simply more reasonable at this time to live with one's parents and contribute to the cost of the housing that the family lives in.

13:49 <Cepheid> Or one's siblings or family in general.

13:51 <Cepheid> If I had a full-time job, I'd be paying for my own groceries, and 1/3rd of the rent, regardless of my parents arguments against the latter.

13:51 <Cepheid> They say that because I spend a majority of my time in one room, that if I had a full-time job, they'd charge me rent for a single room.

13:52 <Cepheid> Ideally, at some point I'd like to get a small parcel of land and build a tiny home on it.  Keep maintenance costs down.

13:52 <ConfusionRift> Here, it's the lack of convenience and high cost. And since my pay varies, that's another factor that doesn't help. Due to our neighborhood being next to a Walmart and new people destroy- I mean, coming over, property values have skyrocketed.

13:52 <Cepheid> Property values skyrocket because of a number of reasons, but there's one I've identified that might be contributing to it considerably as well.

13:53 <Cepheid> A lot of the houses I see built these days are being built around the idea of large families.  Like, extremely large families.

13:53 <ConfusionRift> Oh, and the new development mouse traps are not helping either.

13:53 <Cepheid> Some of the two-story lots nearby look like large mansions.

13:53 <Cepheid> And then you got the super artsy stuff.

13:54 <Cepheid> I don't need my house to look like a freakin' icosahedron.

13:54 <Cepheid> I need it to look like a house.

13:54 <ConfusionRift> Four walls, a bedroom, a bathroom, done.

13:55 <Cepheid> I only need one room that acts as a combination living room/bedroom/kitchen, and a bathroom, myself.

13:55 <Cepheid> A nice and sturdy design at that.

13:55 <ConfusionRift> Houses here look like someone copy/pasted a template and decided to use it on every single lot.

13:56 <Cepheid> And the template in question is probably too grandiose/excessive for the region, too.

13:56 *** Quits: Lumindia (Lumindia@is.a.miner.pony) (Connection closed)

13:57 <ADragonHoarding> McMansions!

13:57 *** Joins: Lumindia (Lumindia@is.a.miner.pony)

13:57 <ConfusionRift> There was a house for four people that was about $950 a month (including utilities). Nowadays, that would be the cost for something that is a half to a quarter that size.

13:58 <ConfusionRift> And I have to deal with utilities.

13:58 <ADragonHoarding> And the truly terrible ones look impressive at first glance, but then if you look more closely and carefully, you start seeing bizarre architectural choices, like mis-matched windows, shutters on bay windows, truly bizarre door designs, random turrets...

13:58 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

13:59 <Cepheid> I will say that I and my school's administration don't get along, and maybe some of the professors as well, but..

13:59 <Cepheid> The students and professors who do construction there are pretty good.

13:59 <Cepheid> They have out in this one area of the campus a display of various tiny homes the students have built.

13:59 <Cepheid> They've all been subject to the elements, and they're all mostly off-the-grid designs, but they're well-built

14:00 <Cepheid> These little structures look and feel sturdier than the place I live in now.

14:00 <Cepheid> Probably also a lot cheaper in comparison.

14:01 <ConfusionRift> Doors that open towards the outside, waterlines near electrical ones, weak supports, weak foundations, faulty and jerry rigged lines, barely supported walls, and just utterly chaotic junctions.

14:01 <Cepheid> The last place I was in, during refurbishing, someone had cut a piece of the main support beam out of it.

14:02 <ADragonHoarding> Societally, part of the issue is the treatment of housing as an investment on which to make a profit.

14:02 <ConfusionRift> I'm weak as heck, and I know I can just punch right through this wall and to the next room.

14:02 <Cepheid> It went unnoticed for years until after that earthquake back in 2011 or so.

14:02 <ADragonHoarding> As opposed to a necessity of life.

14:02 <Cepheid> When suddenly the house shifted, and cracks started appearing in the floor, along the walls, and along bricks on the exterior.

14:03 <Cepheid> They did some investigation, and found that an entire chunk of a main support beam had been removed to install the heating system.

14:03 <Cepheid> The building had to be condemned.  We were forced to move out.

14:03 <ConfusionRift> Eeergh.

14:04 <Cepheid> Even worse is that apparently it still hasn't been fixed, and when the neighbourhood was handed over to a new company for management, they didn't tell the new company about the damage.

14:04 <ConfusionRift> ...well... that is a problem.

14:04 <Cepheid> When the new management took over, they offered the place up for rent, without realizing the damage.

14:04 <Cepheid> It wasn't until we told them about the whole incident that they went in and investigated it themselves, then condemned it again.

14:04 <ADragonHoarding> oof

14:05 <Cepheid> It's since been fixed, but yeah.

14:06 <Cepheid> Housing just isn't being built up to code anymore, and isn't worth the associated rent cost.  And even if it is built to code, when it comes time to update various things because the landlords can't legally put off doing the changes anymore, they often do stuff to the house that could compromise it's integrity.

14:07 <ConfusionRift> These cardboard houses upset me.

14:07 <ConfusionRift> I'm used to the cement forts from overseas.

14:07 <Cepheid> That's one thing I miss from living in the apartment building.  It felt solid, sturdy.

14:08 <Cepheid> No creaking of the floors beneath your feet, no boards shifting or sliding when you climb stairs, etc.

14:08 <Cepheid> If I bought some land and built a small two-three room building on it, it'll be rebar and concrete.

14:09 <Cepheid> It'd be out in the middle of nowhere though, no way I'd be able to afford parcels of land around this city.

14:12 <Cepheid> I see RSO received yet another update.  What mod does it add support for this time?

14:13 <Cepheid> Xander Mod.  Not that it matters at this point, but yeah.

14:13 <ConfusionRift> https://www.homes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/Screen-Shot-2016-07-20-at-7.51.35-AM.jpg Simple, but works for me.

14:15 <Cepheid> That's what I'd considered too "artsy" for it's own good.  The round structure like that would increase the cost considerably.

14:16 <Cepheid> https://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/tiny-house-tour-carleton-gives-the-public-a-glimpse-inside-the-northern-nomad This is the tiny house at the university.

14:16 <ConfusionRift> Oh, the modular houses.

14:16 <Cepheid> Not a modular house, this is literally a single home for a single person.

14:17 <RazorSharpFang> Oh boy, we're blacking out. (No power)

14:17 <Cepheid> Fun.

14:17 <Cepheid> I'm drawing too much power probably with the belt setup.

14:18 <RazorSharpFang> No, it was the military science.

14:18 <ConfusionRift> But technically everything's there. Living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom.

14:18 <RazorSharpFang> I built it too big too quickly and I didn't add enough steam engines and enough oil refineries.

14:18 <Cepheid> Heh.

14:18 <ConfusionRift> $100,000?!

14:19 <ConfusionRift> Ouch!

14:19 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift:  Yeah, it's expensive, but do consider that it is pretty much self-contained as far as energy is concerned.

14:19 <ConfusionRift> ...solar panels.

14:19 <Cepheid> The average small house like that is somewhere between $50,000 and $100,000 CAD

14:19 <ConfusionRift> Yep, there's the heft of the cost.

14:19 <Cepheid> That's not including labour.

14:19 <Cepheid> Labour increases the cost a bit.

14:19 <ConfusionRift> That too.

14:20 <Cepheid> No, the big cost is in the land, mostly.

14:20 <Cepheid> Want a decent plot of land?  Looking at $200,000 or more.

14:20 <Cepheid> A quick perusal of pricing shows that there's plots for as little as $50,000

14:20 <Cepheid> Some are asking for upwards of $1.2 million though.

14:21 <ConfusionRift> There was a very small plot of land fro sale around here, about $15,000

14:22 <ConfusionRift> Heck, would have saved to buy it. Then build a small house little by little.

14:23 <ConfusionRift> Oh wait... nah, it was next to a road with heavy traffic. Screw that.

14:24 * ConfusionRift checks his phone. "Oh, right."

14:24 <Cepheid> Yeah, I should go take a shower, myself.

14:24 <ConfusionRift> Friend is now paranoid, since we found a cat in the engine bay of his car when we left work.

14:24 <Cepheid> Ah.

14:25 <Cepheid> That does happen, yes.

14:25 <Cepheid> Especially during the colder months.

14:25 <ConfusionRift> Apparently, it was running away from something.

14:25 <Cepheid> That too is a possibility.

14:25 <Cepheid> But if it was at work, then it was a fluke.

14:26 <Cepheid> At home, it's less likely.  Possible, but unlikely.

14:26 <ConfusionRift> At work, there's a group of cats that live in a storm drain nearby.

14:26 <Cepheid> Obvious question, but have you called the local humane society in regards to that?

14:26 <Cepheid> Seems like something that should be dealt with.

14:27 <ConfusionRift> Yep, but nothing.

14:27 <ConfusionRift> Thing is, they aren't there all the time. They disappear at times, but do sleep in the drainage.

14:28 <Cepheid> Bleh.

14:29 <ConfusionRift> One of them, which I recognize, was hiding inside my friend's car. It was meowing a storm, sounded both hurt and in panic.

14:29 <Cepheid> Awe.

14:30 <ConfusionRift> As we grabbed the flashlight and pointed at the engine, it started to scurry behind the engine and on the train.

14:30 <Cepheid> Alas, I must cut this conversation short.  I must go take a shower.  I'll be back soon enough though.  I leave you with examples of just how bad traffic handling is in Cities Skylines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yITr127KZtQ

14:30 <Cepheid> Also, RazorSharpFang, that video demonstrates why I wish Factorio had underground rail tracks, or the ability to overlap them such that trains don't hit each other.

14:31 <ConfusionRift> Like in Tycoon and SimCity?

14:32 <ConfusionRift> Would be nice if there were bridging options.

14:32 <RazorSharpFang> Cepheid, Yeah, might be nice, but with good signalling and large track networks and intersections you can get by perfectly fine.

14:35 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, have to sleep. Laters! Oh, and the cat is fine, was just scared.

14:50 <RazorSharpFang> 0 Watts of power produced.

14:51 <ADragonHoarding> all your generators are off?

14:51 <Cepheid> Sounds that way.

14:51 <RazorSharpFang> My base is not doing great. I wasn't producing enough to keep up with demand. As my power slowed, my production of coal and solid fuel died too

14:53 <RazorSharpFang> I've plonked down some solar panels to boot-strap me, and I've cut off extraneous power demands, and increased my power drain on fuel production, so maybe the base will recover.

14:55 <RazorSharpFang> I think it's recovering. At 10 MW now. (demand of around 50 MW)

15:02 <Cepheid> Aaghghghghsdhgfsjh

15:02 <Cepheid> I applied some eardrops.  I let them do their magic, and went to get up.

15:02 <RazorSharpFang> Oof

15:41 <Cepheid> And this isn't framerate hitches either.  This is more along the lines of "framerate drops to 10-15."

15:41 <Cepheid> I do.  Apparently that doesn't help though.

16:51 <Cepheid> So later I intend to drop by OSAP.  How much you want to get they never sent off the paperwork I gave them?  Or perhaps "lost" it?

16:53 <RazorSharpFang> I want to get it all.

17:00 <Cepheid> Wasn't it stopped functioning right again.  And then my right ear immediately took up the slack instead.

17:00 <Cepheid> Wasn't = and

17:01 <Cepheid> What are you even doing autocorrect?

17:02 <RazorSharpFang> It's messing with you

17:06 <Cepheid> Someone do me a weird little test.  Underneath your ear is about where the jawbone connects to the skull.  There is a soft spot right behind the jawbone.  Press your fingers up against it.  Do you feel any sort of pain?

17:06 <RazorSharpFang> Would it be north or south of the point?

17:07 <Cepheid> A bit below.  Just press against your neck just below the earlobe.

17:08 <Cepheid> On the right-hand side, when I press against this spot, it hurts and I start coughing.  I'm not sure it is my ear that is infected.  I think it might be them drainage tubes.

17:09 <ADragonDreaming> am feel pressure, but no pain.

17:09 <RazorSharpFang> I don't get any pain unless I significantly amp up the pressure.

17:11 <Cepheid> Yeah don't go pressing too hard.  This here is a light press inducing what feels like something sharp scraping against my throat.  It makes my throat itch like mad.

18:47 <Cepheid> Nowhere near it.  Ironically had I waited for the bus at the usual stop I would be at risk.

18:48 <Cepheid> That trip to OSAP may have protected my health.

18:52 * Ali tucks RazorSharpFang to bed.

19:24 <PinkieShy> I won't pay them $133 over a returned product.. That's stupid..

19:34 <Cepheid> Maybe I should have set science factor to 50. :P

19:37 *** Joins: Reia_Hope (Reia_Hope@TheCowPony)

19:37 <Cepheid> Yeah, I know.

19:37 <Cepheid> The problem is that the red and green packs are very fast to produce.

19:37 <Cepheid> Somewhat fast for military.

19:37 <Cepheid> We're gonna hit a wall eventually.

19:37 <Cepheid> I've rarely ever managed to get mass production of high-tech packs going, and if we hit infinite science..

19:37 <Ali> Well blue packs aren't automated yet

19:38 <Ali> And We still have to expand out quite a bit for the oil needed.

19:38 <Cepheid> Yes.

19:38 <Cepheid> You may have noticed I claimed a region for myself.

19:39 <RazorSharpFang> We had a blackout earlier. There wasn't enough oil refineries being run, we ran out of solid fuel.

19:39 <RazorSharpFang> I managed to bootstrap it back up with solar panels, and more refineries.

19:39 <Cepheid> I'll see what I can do.

19:40 <Cepheid> Namely I think I'll look around for a coal patch near the region I claimed.

19:40 <Cepheid> And then route it back to the main base, with a portion offloaded to the base I'll be building.

19:41 * Ali is very confused, a lot must have changed since she quit last night.

19:41 <Cepheid> I set up mass production of red belts and underground belts.

19:41 <Cepheid> Moved science around a bit.  Then RazorSharpFang happened.

19:41 <RazorSharpFang> We unlocked rocketry

19:42 <RazorSharpFang> (Not rocket silo)

19:42 <Cepheid> So rockets for combat.

19:42 <Ali> Cepheid, I helped out a bit >.<

19:42 * Ali turned the old labs area into a red splitter factory

19:42 <Cepheid> Ali:  Yes, yes, I mean "Razor happened" in the sense that he likes to go overboard on some things like I do.

19:43 <Ali> Like the 100+ Sci labs?

19:44 <RazorSharpFang> I definitely went overboard in the sense that I was using power faster than generating it.

19:44 <RazorSharpFang> And I made a lot of steam engines.

19:44 <Ali> But last I remember, we didn't have solar researched.

19:44 <RazorSharpFang> *whistles*

19:44 <Cepheid> We're also about to run out of iron in the primary patch.

19:45 <Cepheid> Or initial patch.

19:45 <Ali> We claimed a new one

19:45 <Cepheid> I noticed.

19:45 <Cepheid> In regards to science, the red/green techs are moving along quickly.

19:45 <RazorSharpFang> Trains take too long to load/unload with our current stack inserter capacity though.

19:45 * Ali also found out that flamethrowers are....dangerous on this world.

19:45 <Cepheid> Yeah.

19:45 <Cepheid> Yep.

19:45 <RazorSharpFang> I'm looking to claim more mines to help with that.

19:45 <Ali> Are you two on right now or just joshing me?

19:46 <Cepheid> Not on right now.

19:46 <Cepheid> I'm eating.

19:46 <RazorSharpFang> My strong machine is off.

19:46 <Cepheid> I popped on earlier this morning to "stake my claim" which basically involved me looking at the map, and putting a note between that spot.

19:47 <Ali> And what are you gonna do?

19:47 <Cepheid> Mostly dedicate that stuff to mass production of military packs.

19:48 <Cepheid> I need copper, iron and coal for that.

19:48 <Ali> we have a line set up for that

19:48 <Cepheid> Large patches of it too.  So a dedicated base is needed.

19:48 <Ali> Razor just can't wait for nuke power

19:49 <Cepheid> There's a limit to how much we can produce using an in-line, inside base system.

19:49 <Cepheid> And later upgrades are going to need a LOT.

19:49 <RazorSharpFang> Partially because it's flipping 55 iron plates for a single bottle

19:49 <Cepheid> Plus, I can also alleviate the main line problems of ammo consuming everything.

19:49 <Ali> Yeah we hit the hard limit on gears

19:49 <Cepheid> So if I dedicate an entire base to mass producing basic military stuff, along with mass production of military packs, we'll be set.

19:49 <Ali> Cause the red belt couldn't move the gears fast enough

19:50 <RazorSharpFang> Well, the iron INTO the gear factoy

19:50 <Cepheid> Let's see..

19:53 <Cepheid> Even producing 2 at a time would load a belt or three.

19:54 <Cepheid> Er, 2 a second.

19:57 <RazorSharpFang> Well, the processing times for each bottle increases too. All the way to 60 seconds per bottle per lab.

19:57 <Cepheid> Yep.

19:57 <Cepheid> But yeah, eventually it reaches a point where producing on site and then distributing around becomes the sensible idea.

19:58 <Cepheid> A single cart can hold what, 48 stacks?

19:58 <Cepheid> 40 stacks.

19:59 <Cepheid> So for iron plates, that's 4,000 units maximum.

19:59 <Cepheid> That's enough for 2,000 iron gears.

19:59 <Cepheid> Process on site and craft into gears and then deliver..

19:59 <Cepheid> That's 4000 gears per wagon.

20:00 <RazorSharpFang> You might want to wait until we get nuclear power and electric furnaces, so you can do on-mine-site smelting.

20:00 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.

20:01 <Ali> We need to automate blue bottles for that first

20:01 <Cepheid> If I can find some coal near that spot I claimed, that'll do for a pinch.  As for electrical energy?  I can solve that by delivering steam.

20:01 <RazorSharpFang> I still don't get why people delivery steam for energy. Just hook it up to the electrical grid for instant transmission.

20:02 <Ali> And getting red circuts will eat the greans up like water.
