You’re still right, though - talking about closest planet on average isn’t very useful, because it’s always going to be the closest planet to the sun. Asking “what planet can get closest to some [Planet]” is more interesting and enlightening.

Aye, it seems like a dumb thing to say out loud rather than just do. That said, they’ve been saying a lot of dumb things lately.

I had that issue to start, and changed my profile settings to type: subscribed, sort type: hot, and that made it much faster. Of course ymmv due to what you’re subscribed to.

Spez is a symptom of reddit’s problem, not the problem itself. Put someone in who wants to help the users more than the investors, and the investors will just kick them out. Which is why I’m more sympathetic to the Marxists around here.

So far as a ban list goes, it’s better to be hard-coded than a database call for performance reasons, and if it stops 95% of bad actors, that’d be a good thing. Problem is that it won’t, they’ll find a way around the regex. So yeah, this is something that should be handled by mods or communities.

It provides a minor inconvenience to people wanting to set up alt-right instances, and makes them feel unwelcome, so maybe that’s enough to justify it’s existence.

Yeah, I can get their desire to vet users before they can join their instance, but for me (and I suspect a lot of other people who are just starting with Lemmy, or just shy people) the effort of making a social interaction with a stranger was enough of a turn off that I went elsewhere. Beehaw still seems nice, I may still make an account there at some point. But, to figure out if a place suits me, first I lurk, then I engage by voting, then I engage by commenting, and eventually I may eventually post. I get applications, but they feel intrusive to how I use the internet.

I also get why they defederated, frankly there’s a tonne of low effort from the big new instances. However, everyone should expect low effort right now because users are antsy from having left reddit, and the low effort posts are the anxious laughter of people new to the party who don’t know anyone yet. So the defederation isn’t a good look, and will cause bad feeling with and within beehaw, so their mods have my sympathy. Better to have enabled downvoting and let the community handle the low effort posts.

Gosh, that’s a lot of landmines! As others have said, you can “encourage” raiders to step on them by putting concrete underneath them so they’re more likely to path towards them. You could probably do the same with wood fences to give them the idea of having cover where they might want to try and shoot you, but no, it’s just another landmine.

Grab that stray unstable power core, those things are excellent for setting up isolated micro-grids for things like ambrosia greenhouses and deep drill stations. Or just add to your main grid.

You can get rid of your bedroom corners on the inside of your insulation corridor and move heaters and lamps into the space to save on movement costs.

Is the fence there to keep animals out of your minefield? If so, you could replace the sandbags with barricades and get rid of it, because barricades do that job too. And can be upgraded to plasteel as the game goes on.

Shelves to either side of your workbenches’ sitting spots loaded up with the most commonly used ingredients saves a lot of hauling time, especially for things like meals and drugs.

I’d maybe think about moving the hospital closer to the psychic emanator. Rooms don’t get quite as much advantage with it, and it really shines after a raid when half your colony is in the medbay.

All in all, though, it’s a pretty solid looking colony. Good job.

Depends how far back you go. Obvs, not all mods are keeping up as the game updates, but if anything, I find that the modding community has only every grown and gotten better with time.

I think that mod versioning was introduced in 1.1 (so about when Royalty released), which made it a lot easier to keep track of what works and what doesn’t, so you might have issues with mods from before then, but honestly there’ll almost certainly be a replacement if something was popular and was discontinued.
