Just a helpful and often misunderstood note: Whether or not you can colonize an atmosphere type is based on your technology, however whether your colony is a settlement or a 'domed' outpost *is not*. One way of dramatically increasing your population and production is to capture a planet owned by a species that breathes a different atmosphere than your own, and then transport citizens from that colony to domed colonies of your own that match their atmosphere type. If you then remove your own species' citizens, the domed colony will suddenly become a full fledged settlement with all the facility slots and storage that entails. As an alternative, boarding loaded colony ships is also an effective means of obtaining different species for your empire. While managing your populations in such a way can be a bit tedious, it is very worth it. The difference in production power between two empires of similar size but where one is able to fully settle multiple atmosphere types is enormous.

The best time to have trained your charcter to be a melee expert was at the start, teleport down, punch every zombie until you die, heal for free, and repeat until you are a level 10 melee master. THEN start playkng the game for real. Second best time is now, just pick and choose your battles instead of trying to avoid everything. Get good enough armor that you wont suffer from infections and then actively engage with the combat. Eventually you will become skilled enough that even with a backpack on you can kill basic zombies near instantly.

Nowadays (2024) I had really good experiences with asking Chat GPT. It always tries to find a solution, if it's first answer didn't work out, although it was 90% correct anyways. Especially for the stable versions, as they are a bit older.

former EMT here, its not that H peroxide is a terrible antiseptic, it's that instead it is harmful to tissues like skin because it basically causes cells to commit suicide, so it's not exactly ideal as an antiseptic .

'Dardenville?' ...if his morale ain't skyhigh, Darden's fer sure gonna go full Napolean and frag you, in your sleep.

"I'm going to play a game and ramble" is a big stress if live on twitch, even if no one is watching. I imagine just recording and uploading is easier. No schedule to follow, no people that need to be entertained immediately.

Such a Churchill moment "We will fight them on this broken windowsill! We will fight them on this furniture!"

At this rate these videos will have to be renamed to "removals through (insert date here)" lol

Did everything the Isherwoods asked... but Lapin's Mission to "check in on them" does not clear. Any suggestions?

wish this game had some storyline that would push me to try and go further... right now is "do your own goals/game" kind of thing, which is not really my thing although I would like to have a reason to play this game more

Hi

Just as an FYI, I commented on shotgun speedloaders not working. Historically, they were broken several times and did not work for multiple years, however, people on Discord said they do work currently, so, yeah, we didn't take those but probably should have.

Thanks, bro!❤

Kevlar vests are pretty easy to wear under other stuff, Frodo style. Once I find a clean one, I basically never take it off. Plus with Skylands, you could spawn in right next to a riot barricade or angry UGV. But then I've seen people do full martial arts runs with just a karate gi, maybe I am underestimating torso encumbrance

Just use practice recipes to train things like fabrication, will also help you gain things like blacksmitching proficiency.

Floatation stone is so you can cross a river without a bridge. A long expedition may have the exit on the other side of a river and there is no bridge for a long ways away, so you can just use the floatation stone to cross.

And to comment too much granola and mineral water are often in cars

Speaking of Elon Musk, listen to the song Rat by Penelope Scott very pertinent

29:20 As a kinda-sorta gun guy (I own several firearms, but haven't lived in a spot where going shooting is easy for a few years) yes, any american gun shop should have a section with reloading equipment and supplies. Fully stocked, it'd probably be only one or two sets of puller/press/etc plus a myriad of bullets/powder/casings. Again assuming, it'd be enough supplies to double whatever factory-manufactured ammo the store has on the shelves. As well, a well-stocked store is going to have both what's on the shelves (I've seen whole pallets of rounds, literally 10,000+ just sitting on the floor) and then a locked safe/storage room with double or triple the shelved ammo.

bookcase. I had that problem too

We can change rotation of the sprites. You need to drag it towards a chair or something like that. So that you would be able to stand on a chair and initiate the dragging but stove will not be able to move onto it. But it will rotate!

my 8am timeslot is reserved for TMU content 😅

I wish I could figure out how to loot a cash register

Note that a "steel spear" represents an actual medieval military grade spear and the type of spear you're probably thinking of is represented in game as a "crude steel spear". If you don't think carving is required to complete a spear with a pre-made spear shaft, how do you intend to get your spearhead on to the shaft? As an additional exercise think about the recipe for a steel spear: there's no metal drilling quality so you can't drill a hole in and secure it with a pin and there's no adhesive so you can't glue it on... The likely way is an extremely tight fit via carving, then heating up the socket, jamming in the shaft, and rapidly cooling down the socket to induce shrinkage.

man, we're happy to hear you even if you are "low energy" or whatever people watching you are way more understanding than you think

Thought about just just browsing the practice menu? Can probably get a few skillups pretty quickly.

I'll just put in my 2 cents about making the spear - Are skills penalties just additive? Because 2x for blacksmithing, 2x for bladesmithing and 1.5 x for carving adds up. I'm sure just blacksmithing a spearhead from a chuck of steal would take a few hours, it's a lot of heating and hammering off and on. Then you got to temper and harden it so you can put a good blade on it, with hand tools that would take a bit. As far as carving skill, you have to widdle the head of the spear shaft to fit how ever you designed the blade base. Would all that take 33 hours with zero skill? probably not, but it would take a bit longer then just a couple of hours. Of course doing the work that long you would just get better while making the first one, does CDDA give you the benefit of that, for long recipes where you gain the proficiency before the item is completed?

5:20 Persepolis is the book, I think. It's very good and a quick read. Does a great job getting into her head as a kid and showing the way life changed as the regime did.

The general health and employment situation in the US seems fucked. A week of wages for covering a day? If your labor costs you 5x as much to replace than you get paid for it...

I am struggling with what to do next too, so much to do that decision paralysis sets in and I make a whole run and come back with a lot of clothes for no particular purpose

Installing wiring is actully even worse than that. The upgrade fails entirely if there is wall wiring since step one is "delete walls", so when it encounters "wall with wires" in the space where a plain wall is supoosed to be it doesn't know what to do with that , so it just stops.

Thank you so much for making quality CDDA content and tutorials. I've watched your tutorial series and it has helped me get into this magnificent game. ❤

The best way to train wound care is with the practice recipe. Just if you have nothing better to do when it is almost time to sleep you can use that. It requires a bandage to perform but doesn't use it up. Basically uou practice tying the bandage around your arm and taking it off over and over until you get the hang of doing it.

A halligan bar can actually pry into gunstore doors :-) makes them my favorite prying tool

Thanks for the episode

you need a well? another dwarf fortress reference 🤦‍♂️

That book Pantheon is almost certainly based on the graphic novel Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi.

The adhesive bandages aren’t a bad take to grind up Wound Care cheaply.

Time flies, just rewatched one of your earlier episodes trying to figure out how to wire my base and you were talking about snow in reality. Grats on the 50 episodes.

Personally, I would have definitely tried to take the solar panel in the dump site. Definitely have to look after the environment during the apocalypse lol

Hello. Sorry i almost never comment. Have fun :)

Hi

2:00 blank mesa

Thank you for this awesome series ❤❤ It's been tricky finding information especially newer stuff

I am also constantly annoyed by furniture not facing in correct direction. The way I solve it is: put an item that will prevent freezer from moving in a direction I want it to face then grab a freezer and pull it in that direction. Freezer will turn but will not be able to move.

dude commit your changes then do a pull!

Honestly if the world was experiencing a cataclysm people would try to get home or get out of Dodge. A lot of people running to their friend’s mansion in the middle of nowhere makes sense.

8:42 I think the advanced inventory can be sorted by spoilage. You can have inventory on one side and organize any surrounding squares by spoilage with the "s" button I think

No lawnmower audible tbh

Hello there ppl. Lets watch this.
