Simple easy microwave breakfast thing with thing done I hadn't done before. Takes like 5 minutes total to prep/cook.

Start with bowl + 1100 whatever microwave. In bowl put eggs as desired! I've been using liquid egg (white) lately 'cause they're way easier to deal with than normal eggs, but normal eggs work fine. Nuke on high for 1 minute. Now into bowl put whatever! I've been doing cheese and honey turkey and pepperoni. Stir up and cook another minute. See if cooked, know it's done when there's no more liquid-y parts. Probably going to cook it another 30 seconds to a minute, whatever.

Now! This is the thing I hadn't done before. Take a softshell burrito. Warm it up a little if it's been in the fridge or whatever (20 seconds on high tends to do it). Then! Shred the burrito up into pieces, and stir it into the eggs+whatever. Done!

Is tasty, very filling, very easy.

Yeah, I knew about that one. Avoided it for my sect builder, but rando mc 50 qi sense I recruited later? They're straight up sunflower refining.

My future plan is to wait until sect leader maxes out myriad artifact law creation bonuses and turn their "treasure" into their new super relic :V

e: in other news, I've learned alchemy is a pretty impressive money maker if you go for it hard enough. Get sufficiently good and you can produce multiple spirit crystals per batch... and they sell for 60 per, i.e. just two nets you a twenty stone profit. Spirit stone printer goes brrr

No clue, personally. Might as well, just in case, though, yeah?

In other news, with not so judicious use of a custom item, I've now learned the ballpark for "how much cinnabar is on a medium canyon map" is around twenty seven thousand. It is a wildly excessive amount of cinnabar, nearly triple the amount of brownstone. Bloody crazy. Also they sell for like one spirit stone a piece when the merchant will buy them, so, y'know. Gonna buy that critter out next time they show up.

... also cinnabar turns out to be super great for devouring. Tends to give pure life essence and can produce intrinsic life, two of the best essences for supercharging tempered flesh. Good stuff.

Crafter dudette who does nothing but floods the map in common iron swords to grind up skill.

Small tip, but a much less painful way to do that is to go yoink the darksteel ore stack from copperton and have the crafter pump out darksteel bars for a while. Those things give like 900 crafting XP a pop and, y'know, stack, ha. Even just an 80 stack or somethin' of ore (and you'll probably find more like 150+) will jack a crafter up several levels... and provide you with a huge stack of darksteel going forward, heh.

e: well, I've figured out how to make a speedy turtle yaoguai. Reincarnate one with a custom intelligence that gives oodles of +move speed (and work efficiency). Got one with a move speed of the 100m/sec now :V

for context, a human with "just" 10 con has a move speed of 4.4m/sec, so, y'know. Turtle go vroom.

Are there any chans that aren't kinda' cursed?

For what it's worth, I've been finding that jumping the demon with a core shaping inner (with artifact, of course) plus the puppy ASAP tends to kill it. Let the puppy attack first to tank and then send the disciple right behind it.

A physical cultivator also can probably take it with just a stage two or three elemental arm if they rush for it and then immediately jump the thing, in my experience. Probably good to nip that particular problem in the bud soonest, yeah.

I've never actually played rimworld, but from what I've seen of vids, yeah, ACS generally seems to have a lot of the building/management/etc. stuff better implemented? Like making your buildings and managing your stuff is just pretty painless, and a lot of it gets even more painless when you get access to talismans and junk. Just from a UI et al implementation standpoint, it's largely been pretty solid compared to what I've seen in gaming over the years.

NGL, this thread is tempting me. It sounds quite deep and deliberately opaque.

Like, sorta' on the opaque? It's not so much deliberately opaque as very deliberately using tropes common to a genre that's not super common in english speaking areas, that lend themselves to fairly complicated (or at least complicateable) mechanics. A lot of what's going on with the game make very much obvious sense... if you're familiar with xianxia/martial arts fantasy. If you're not you're probably going to be wondering why your punch chicken just turned into a giant demon and ate your puppy.

E: Speaking of the puppy, this is the very first thing I ever noticed from a pet. It was... somewhat of a surprise.

After rolling with pets for a bit, now, though, it takes a bit more to get a raised eyebrow.
