I was more aiming for a simple, 5 minute fix. Something Toady can do while the microwave is going.Erm...this isn't that. A "simple five-minute dix" probably involves changing the raws. If there were any big, 5MFs that Toady COULD do, he would have.
There are a lot of minor, 5 minute fixes that could be done to the game that could substantially improve things. Tiny changes rather than huge overhauls. Go after the low hanging fruit first.
I'm guessing that the number 30 is a totally aribratry number. If it was 64, 256, 65536, or something like that, then thats more of a hardcoded number. But 30 just doesn't seem to be due to a hard coded limit.There's presumably a reason Toady capped it. I'd be interested to hear it, but for now I assume it's something to do with how much can be written on one piece of paper/slab of stone.
If this is the case, then changing the limit from 30 to whatever is the limit, be it 64, 256, 65536, or any other number, would provide essentially infinite work orders to be done.
Track stops can be lever linked and seem to have no problem being built on ramps. Perhaps linking one to a pressure plate, with the cart sitting there. The ramp should impart speed to it, and send it into motion. Of course I haven't actually tried it but it's worth a shot.You'd have to put it on top of the ramp. Somehow.
Meh, I can think of MANY better pictures. Lots of screenshots from Boatmurdered, for instance.That picture should be in all of our office buildings. And on the occasional gift card.Yep. I was going to make a "this is not an engraving of an engraving of cheese" one but I got lazy so I decided to stick in that Machine Code meme guy.My french is far from as good as it should be so please help me out here.The Ministry of Extra Terrestrial Affairs sends its regards.i hate arts and culture department , but if im leader of it , i demand engravings of engravings of cheese !I'm still alive!Spoiler (click to show/hide)Spoiler (click to show/hide)
-This is not cheese.
-This is not an engraving of cheese.
Right?
I am signing up. My name is kingfisher and I am a highly trained doctor, and I will be head of the medical department. So many problems plague our astronauts. The solution? Magma. Say an astronaut suffers oxygen deprivation. Applied magma to the lungs. Please, I hope you will see my excellence.As F.O.R.G.O.T.E.N.B.E.A.S.T. of the Fortresses of Space*, I can say that this test will probably prove detrimental to the astronaut. Please do not proceed with the suggested procedure until it can be tested on an expendable test subject. Given our limited population, I advise either the creation of expendable test subjects or, if the cost of getting test subjects outweighs negative P.R. and ethical issues, Terran prisoners.
