What server to get.
2024.05.15 02:08 Pup5432 What server to get.
I'm looking at putting together a server for summer use (aka I want to switch to using my X10QBi as a backup only server that only gets powered on for weekly backups instead of being the primary workhorse of my lab). I'm considering either a HP Proliant DL160 G10, a Dell Poweredge R640, or a Supermicro x11 Xeon scalable motherboard. A pair of mid-tier 1st gen Platinums or a pair of better Golds should be able to more than handle my workload so I'm looking for something dual socket 3647 in a relatively small form factor since I will be using my backup storage array as the primary storage for this cycle. The only other factor is it would need to be able to take a Tesla P4 since my cloud gaming setup would need to move over the box and some sort of sfp+ pcie card.
As far as I can tell the DL160 would probably be one of the cheaper options since you can get one, sans processors and ram, for around $400 but I'm unfamiliar with what the PCI slots can handle and I'm worried it wont end up being able to meet my needs.
The R640 runs around $550-$600 for a similar setup and while I am more familiar with Dells in general I would much rather save $100+ if the HP would meet my needs.
The Supermicro option is a bit of a blind spot for me. If I want to go this route I would need to go 2U which I'm not opposed to but a cheap 2U chassis is going to run me around $200 and with all the motherboard options I have no clue what would actually be a viable budget option but it looks like I would need to go with at least a $300 board to possibly even get started but like I said all of the Supermicro servers I have came with with chassis+motherboard so I never had to figure out the mix and match side of the Supermicro biom.
Edit: First comment got me thinking and would going with something like an AM5 Ryzen be an option instead of a supermicro dual socket board. I know cpu benchmarks put the 7950x in the same ballpark as my x10QBi but would a lower count of high speed cores be comparable to a pair of 1st gen Xeon scalable in power.
The Xeon does scale up in ram at a much cheaper price than a DDR5 build but if I’m going with my current tower case I would also be able to reuse my 3060ti or 6800 as a much better gpu than the Tesla P4 I’m limited to with a 1U/2U case, saving money on that front and getting a ton more performance gpu wise.

2024.05.14 17:41 AEDyssonance The Biome Chart for Wyrlde
TLDR: i posted some things previously about how I was developing out my biomes, and thought I would share the chart that came out of it.
So, here is the revision to the overall biomes I did, as part of the larger project of determine the number and type of larger life forms present and how they all fit into the broader ecology of Wyrlde.
The chart lists the Biomes that are present (revised from even my prior note), and organizes them according to the latitude that they exist in (or how they affect the surrounding biome, in some cases).
It then gives the Biomass for that region (which is "grams of carbon per cubic meter over a year net"), the general temperature range information, the amount of rainfall, and then, because I not only am using the world fro an active game, I also like to roll dice when writing so that I have the sense of randomness for certain things, it also includes a relatively random chance for an encounter with a "Critter" or large lifeform, as well as the chances for the storm. I use a 30 sided die for this, because I like to work in 3's, and the die is decent enough.
Frigid These biomes are always very cold, and are based in altitude or proximity to the Arctic Circle. Note that passes in Wyrlde through Mountains are often in Alpine areas.

Now, I did things this way because as I go through the animals, I am generally seeking to establish a few broad "types" of animal, and then demonstrate a bit of variation according to the latitude of the biome. What that means is that I want to have "foxes" -- so there will be a version of a fox that exists in most of the biomes, adapted to the particular biome (so I have a larger speciation profile).
That will carry over in a lot of ways, across trophic levels and throughout the foodwebs, which are also being created as a whole. For the food webs, i am going to use a variation on the larger model, with a 20 part web and 5, 7, or 9 trophic levels.
For those wondering what the hell those are, well, a foodweb is "the circle of life" -- what eats what, in a cycle. The parts are based in that, and I will have 20 creatures in each foodweb and at least three foodwebs in most biomes. The trophic level is the stuff that gives us Predators and prey, and where they sit within a foodweb -- the apex predator concept comes from that. Also, I am not an ecologist, so if an ecologist corrects me, they are probably right, but I am doing this for world and this is how it works there.
Since my world is a fantasy style one, I also have magical creatures and assorted horrible stuff out there, and this is going to help me to determine when and how they appear, as well, so that I have a stronger sense of how the ecology of the planet works, even with the disruptive influence of these problem critters.
I know it’s boring, but I just feel really good about, so thought I would share.

2024.05.13 21:23 LeBourgeoisGent Obervations on Starfield’s Tile System
 | I’ve been scouring different planets, mostly taking notes on POIs and their distribution, but along the way—in true Bethesda fashion—I got sidetracked by another mission: to dig into the game’s terrain generation. submitted by LeBourgeoisGent to NoSodiumStarfield [link] [comments] What are “tiles,” exactly?They may not be what you think they are.Take a look at your map. Ever notice how hilly or mountainous areas rising from surrounding plains—or even right next to each other—seem to be squared off? Look closely… https://preview.redd.it/bzh3s3n5180d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=287c591a71ac111a20b2633f992832bd2ae37cf2 Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. https://preview.redd.it/dbskcu38180d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=c8da2670dd1b957f0e1db001a24b5f59833e806c Those are the “tiles.” And you’ve been crossing them the whole time. Why do we call them “tiles”?Todd Howard, of course. Here’s a relevant quote:Well, the planets themselves, the landscape's pretty much all procedural. We kind of make these large... Think like kilometer-sized tiles we've generated. And those get kind of wrapped around the planet.https://www.ign.com/articles/todd-howard-interview-starfield-sgf-2023 People latched onto the idea that “tiles” represented distinct world spaces because that’s what they were looking for, but Todd never said that. He was simply talking about the way blocks of terrain are distributed across a whole planet. That’s a wholly separate question from what gets loaded and how. Mind you, I’m not touching that latter question at all, just noting what a “tile” refers to. As Todd indicated, tiles are (usually!) just 1 square kilometer in size. They contain a few distinct topographical features. They level off at their edges so they can fit with any other tiles, and the world’s landscape is generated by procedurally arranging them in a mosaic. It’s a pretty basic system and one people have long used with pen-and-paper RPGs, just not to this scale. Occasionally there are bigger tiles. The largest mountains outside Akila City, for instance, appear to be 2X2. https://preview.redd.it/aa06orvn180d1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=82674ddcf5fc98012d51698f42a9b4321e538b66 The playable world space itself is 64 square km, so each zone contains dozens of tiles. The tile placement is consistent across separate playthroughs, so there must be underlying rules that yield consistent outcomes. Doesn’t mean they’re not at least partly random, though, as they could’ve just tagged an initial randomized outcome to lock them in place. Déjà vuAnother thing about the tiles is that they’re preset components, finite in number, and, yes, they can and do repeat, even within the same zone.Here’s a nice location on Maheo I. Swamp biome. https://preview.redd.it/ekplojzf280d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=91210848723410910ead8ea69a2587b40bf776a9 Here’s what the tile itself looks like in the map view. https://preview.redd.it/fptdw6pg380d1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e24240daf407ce6ea844e239454baa04807c98cb You can see just how big that one tile as it takes up most of the visible landscape, although you can see beyond it in the distance. Here’s the “same” location elsewhere in the same zone. https://preview.redd.it/08q0cl2p280d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=6c623dcbf853b3a5914c51247c747ae6c3942119 Here’s what that tile looks like in the map view. https://preview.redd.it/tphc13x5380d1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=590772b4a673972ef0652670c05f98d02fff5b15 Note how it’s been rotated 180 degrees. Rotating tiles is a quick and easy way of creating additional landscape variation since you can’t literally make an infinite number of presets. (Same trick you use when installing laminate flooring.) Also note how, despite being in the very same zone, the objects placed on the tiles (rocks/trees/bushes) differ somewhat. They’re presumably subject to separate procedural variation, and they’ll make a bigger impression on anyone looking around at ground level. Here’s the “same” location on Indum IV-d, in another swamp biome. Note how we have a very different terrain texture, as it’s an icy moon. https://preview.redd.it/vp54bwy9280d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=07408d6c342cc5c713b24b1b3abb8bd0febde8fc And here we have the “same” location on Charbydis II. Another swamp. https://preview.redd.it/cdk80kxy280d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=61330bad1e9a560e7aaca62edc150fe70c0515b7 In this case, the tile has actually been reversed. That further doubles the number of potential variants, and—Jessamine, I told you to get out of the way! Different biomes and POIsWhile conducting this exercise I accidentally stumbled on a different example that illustrates a couple of other points. After dropping off a group of workers relocating to Waggoner Farm (savanna biome), I looked at the surrounding map and noticed a familiar feature, so I had to go there and check it out.https://preview.redd.it/qihrclqx480d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=c1d91a3268637275c8ac82ece8b67e6269cfb5c7 This same feature can be found northeast of Sonny Di Franco’s estate on Maheo I (swamp biome). https://preview.redd.it/ma3jk88r380d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=b7ab9f22485ac496609bcb95b2c7cfafd8f92fe1 A couple of takeaways from this: First, the same tile appeared in two different biomes, which means tiles aren’t completely restricted by biome. That said, some restrictions presumably exist to ensure biomes have more distinct characteristics. For instance, cratered surfaces only appear with other cratered surfaces and not in the middle of forests. Second, Maheo I had two POIs, while Montara Luna only had the one. (I was literally standing where the other one should be.) But the one on Montara Luna is nevertheless in the same spot as one of the two on Maheo I. This is just a guess, but each tile may have certain nodes for possible POIs that may or may not generate when the space is loaded in the same way other Bethesda games have nodes that may or may not trigger random encounters as you approach them. Please don’t be disillusioned!This is just in case anyone was thinking terrain was continuously procedural and unique on every planet. I’ve seen posts in the vein of “Hey, look at this big mountain/crater I found!” and winced as I thought about the possible implications of my findings. I’m not looking to rain on your parade! You still discovered what you discovered. But don’t be surprised if you discover it again somewhere else.Despite chasing down dupes, I’m impressed with the number of distinct tiles. I’d wager there are thousands of tiles in all. If you examine any map closely enough you might find a couple of duplicate tiles out of the dozens within any one zone, and it’s not until you pore over a handful of zones, especially those with the same biome, before the dupes really start adding up. And if you’re not looking closely at the maps, you might never notice at all. It's not you're going out of your way to stand in the same spot facing the same direction the way I've been! But looking at them can tell us interesting things about how they work, as we've already seen. “Are the planets real?”Of course not, it’s a video game.Okay, serious answer. It depends on what we mean by “real.” I assume the game has a virtual map of each planet, and different tiles procedurally assigned to different parts of that map. When we select a landing site, the game plants it at the nearest available POI spot and loads in a world space centered around it, 64 square km of which is traversable, with the remainder existing for the sake of filling out the background. Ironically, the edge of traversable space is often in the middle of a distinct terrain tile. It's worth noting that unique locations, like New Atlantis and Akila City, don’t necessarily form the center of their respective zones. (Those two certainly don't.) The size of the loaded world space is arbitrary, and Bethesda probably settled on one that allowed for sufficient stability on lower-end hardware. Beyond that, I have no idea. Implications for theorycraftingThinking about tiles as modular landscape components has a lot of potential forAlso, any given tile in the game could potentially be cleanly replaced with a customized tile as needed. A final desperate pleaAnyway, please stop calling the entire loaded world space a “tile.” Or else…No animals were harmed in this production …I might just swat you with an old rolled-up magazine. |

I started a new game. Meaning I could only progress to new areas once I found a shiny, but also meant I had no access to the Shiny Charm. Furthermore, I didnt use their exact specifications of what counted as an area. This mostly came up in the Teal Mask DLC. Basically, if an area was subtitled as a different main area, it didnt count as it’s own area to me. That was because I noticed all the little caves in Paldea had a name but were subtitled as the General Area anyway. This mattered only in South Area 6 in the main game but also cut out 2 areas from Kitakami (Both Infernal Pass and Oni’s Maw are just Oni Mountain). I kept their own restrictions of no Shiny Sandwich boosts, no doubles, and no Outbreaks as well. (I only got one double anyway. An Oinkolonge but it was like 5 minutes into my West Area 3 hunt so I didnt mind) It was… a lot of fun. Very relaxing and made me think up the best ways to reset mons while keeping in mind I still wanted a rounded team to beat the game. My final team for the main game ended up being my Flamigo, Ampharos, Gogoat, Gyarados, Lycanroc, and Volcarona. Mostly pokemon from the first few areas I went to. For Kitakami, I decided to find a whole new team before tackling the storyline and ended up with Victreebell, Ninetales, Meinshao, Indeedee, Mamoswine, and Weezing. For the Terrarium, by using my own area specifications technically every area was the Terrarium. But that isnt fun. And by using the Biomes and the two caverns, I was able to lock myself and make a new team exactly: Farigiraf, Slowbro, Golurk, Graveller, Rotom, and Magmar. This ruled and I already miss it and plan on starting again when the summer comes around. Here’s my list of mons and the areas that they were caught: Oinkolonge (Lumpi)- Poco Path Flamigo (Natalia)- South Area 1 Ampharos (Candy Floss)- South Area 2 Gogoat (Sarajevo)- South Area 3 Pawmi (Julip)- South Area 4 Chewtle (Boxer)- South Area 5 Salandit (Toady)- South Area 6 (Alfornada Cavern) Gyarados (Francine)- East Area 1 Sqwakabilly (Betty)- East Area 2 Carcoal (Roz)- East Area 3 Passimian (Hoffman)- Tagtree Thicket Lycanroc (Blue Moon)- West Area 1 Murkrow (Duchess)- West Area 2 Volcarona (Smooshie)- Asado Desert Scyther (Ada)- West Area 3 Gallade (Bedi)- Glaseado Mountain Scovillain (Cappy)- North Area 1 Noibat (Dubs)- North Area 2 Kilowattrell (Wilbur)- North Area 3 Amoongus (Agroopa)- Socarrat Trail Iron Bundle (Prinze)- Area Zero Spinarak (Scuttles)- Kitakami Road Victribell (Pitchoulli)- Apple Hills Ninetails (Demure)- Reveler’s Road Seedot (Popcorn)- Mossfell Confluence Meinfoo (Chops)- Wistful Fields Nosepass (Basoon)- Paradise Barrens Surskit (Kit)- Kitakami Wilds Indeedee (Florence)- Timeless Woods Bombirdier (Kareen)- Fellhorn Gorge Growlithe (Borksworth)- Oni Mountain Mamoswine (Bjorn-Bjorn)- Chilling Waterhead Weezing (Poots)- Oni Mountain Summit (Crystal Pool) Farigiraf (Liza)- Savanna Biome Galarian Slowbro (Butterbear)- Coastal Biome Golurk (Bustah)- Polar Biome Alolan Graveler (Grizz)- Canyon Biome Rotom (Watt)- Chargestone Cavern Magmar (Magda)- Torchlit Labyrinth |

2024.05.13 10:22 mister-choo My suggestions for season 6
Theme of the update - Back to basics.
I think what DRG already has is already great. And I would honestly be alright if it's stays as it is, the replay-ability is quite good, but I think a couple of small things would boost it even more.
Main thing I propose is bringing double objectives outside of deep dives, not as a mutator but as a regular thing. Different mutator, objective, biome combinations would truly expand replay factor through combinatorial explosion.
Secondly, develop a couple of "budget" and modular objectives. (More like aquarcs, morkite mining, blackbox recovery and less like industrial sabotage). These new mission types would bring more variaty and would play well with double objectives.
Some other mission ideas:
P.S. English is not my first language so sorry for clunky phrasing.

Some other mission ideas:
- Branch mining. Reuse the drilldozer, but change it slightly to have deposits. Drilldozer goes through caves with refuel stages, but instead of approaching the heartstone, you collect minerals(maybe even morkite) in each new cave you visit.
- Refining recovery. You reach the cave and pipes already installed but, but in damaged state. You repair them and finish refining.
- Industrial sabotage 0.5. Bring the objectives from rival presence events as a mission type.
P.S. English is not my first language so sorry for clunky phrasing.

 | So, my brother is having this issue where the text line with his graphics card(?) info is so long that it overlaps with and blocks his Z coordinate number, which makes it really annoying to navigate using coords. Is there any way to fix this?

Chronicles of the Arcade: The Loss of Worry
There are many stories surrounding the oddities of the arcade and the denizens that dwell within, but nothing is as odd as the phenomenon commonly known as "The Loss of Worry". Details are sparse, as the only accounts are from those who survive The Loss of Worry with their memories intact.
None of the sources can corroborate a given initiator for The Loss of Worry, but they can all attest to a single common factor: Someone gets a brand new regular pet. Now, pets in the arcade aren't too uncommon, with many being tamed creatures from The Arcade, such as Cabinet Mimics. What is uncommon, are 'normal' pets. Sure, there are pet shops stocked with pets in the mall biomes of The Arcade that never seem to eat, but many avoid these places filled with prospective lifelong companions because they fear it is a lure. One that would entrap someone in the pet store forever, only for another animal to be added to the stock. Those that have managed to acquire pets from such locations did so by convincing one of the pets to leave the store from outside, rather than actually go in to retrieve one.
What marks the beginning of The Loss of Worry is the fact that a normal pet suddenly shows up, with the apparent owner of said pet firmly believing they have always had this pet since entering The Arcade, and can even vividly recall all events from acquiring the pet by going into a pet store and buying one with a continuity coin. One common thing when it comes to The Loss of Worry is the fact that, usually, the individuals who are 'Patient Zero' in these accounts is always someone who, up until that point, always felt an immense amount of despair at being stuck within The Arcade. It's now believed that The Loss of Worry might either be some sort of balancing check made by The Arcade, as severe 'negative vibes' can cause The Arcade to shift in ways that maybe It doesn't even want, or the result of a greater being using the severe despair to temporarily anchor themselves in realspace. Whatever the case may be, what matters the most is what happens after it manifests.
Slowly, The Arcade will shift around Patient Zero to make them happier. Shifts in The Arcade are not too uncommon, and many more permanent settlements will see trade and the number of travellers wax and wane as the routes between settlements shift. The shifting in The Loss of Worry, however, is more sinister. Things which would cause them stress or worry will either change, such as the crops being grown changing from wheat to potatoes, or vanish entirely if changing them would be too difficult, which is the common answer for any sapient creatures. Only a handful of people remember what used to be when these changes happen. Many who remember what used to be will be disoriented by the changes, and ask questions and affirm things which will endanger the newfound happiness of Patient Zero. This will cause a number of them to slowly vanish, one by one. Those who survived were those who figured out what was happening, and either stopped trying to affirm how things used to be, or left town before they would vanish through the more sinister means. Those that stayed got to watch as one by one, everything that used to be there, will vanish, until it is just Patient Zero, the 'pet' and the survivors. The last thing to vanish for good is both the 'pet' and Patient Zero, never to be seen again, and only remembered by the few that survived.

But what very few know is, far beyond even the surrounding biomes of the network, exist areas that The Board has declared, the Farthest Corners. While there is still much left largely unknown of the Farthest Corners, there is confirmed, a quite puzzling biome within coined, The Gambit Hall. Rarely does one seek these portent halls, be it for reason of requiring tremendous effort to reach or fear of both the known and unknown. Indeed a sense of apprehension has right to stir in those who are aware of the possible outcomes of tampering in such a preternatural place. However, there exists no lack of motivating factors that might lure a cadesborn to make such a venture. Lined in chiseled, mossy mortar and dark walnut, the walls feature many faux doors and massive but stone-filled windows, each with immensely detailed tracery. Between each section and at each corner rise broad, engraved stone columns; seamlessly conjoined with pointed arches. The vaulted ceilings, hardly visible, loom much taller than that of the average alleyspace. Dimly lit sconces frequent the span of these halls, giving life to dancing shadows who dare break the otherwise perfect symmetry. As foreboding a visage as these great halls can be, not a single element of the area hopes to deter from the prominence gained by the statues and grand crests on which they rest. 'Statue' as a defining term is inaccurate, however. One could never see a clear enough form of these figures to know whether they've been carved or even what material they could be made of. When eyes are laid upon these effigies, they appear in a way comparable to strangers we meet in a hazy dream. Unable to give facial definition or texture to clothing and skin, though you can perceive basic properties such as height, general appendages and posture, they highly resemble varying forms of Chess pieces. Invoked images of mounted knights with longsword thrust forward, clergymen in long-robe, palms outreached and stoic kings, adorned with the weight of the world upon their heads. These are only possibly encountered at the middle of intersections within the biome though hardly at every junction; they each face one of the four possible directions of the hallways. As you might imagine, this lends to terribly stressful travel through the halls when first noticed from a distance, sometimes being unable to differentiate the statues from some other wild machination of The Arcade. At each intersection also lies the strange crests, embedded within the center floor tile where one might find the ominous statues situated. A perfect circle in shape, with diameter just short of the tiles edges, its most enthralling quality is the inner design. Imagine, if you will, a birds eye view of a flat desert plain, then witnessing fine walls hastily rising and sinking through the sands surface. The walls are arranged in astounding geometric patterns, but always change in design with each set that rises and falls. Such is the ever-continuous sight of the crests interior. But of what significance are these wonderous elements? What of these known dangers and bounty? The Gambit Hall truly offers no dearth of mystique, terror and reward alike, often viewed as a high-stakes game by those audacious enough to engage the inscrutable expanse. With a recent discovery of import pertaining to the functions of the Hall however, details of its workings are being withheld for a time, for sake of safety to those still unfamiliar. By commission, The Wanderer has been assigned to supplement and re-release official documentation on these matters, promising to articulate all aspects to the highest degree possible with our given knowledge. |

Upon completing the early objectives like diamonds, blaze rods, simple villager trades, base, etc. I thought I would go and search for a new biome as I had only seen plains up to that point. submitted by xLinkmain to Minecraft [link] [comments] Upon searching in a straight line, I found many villages (like a crazy amount in a straight line) and oceans, however EVERYTHING was plains, even the oceans. I traveled 10,000 blocks before I finally had enough and did some digging. I recreated the world with the same seed, but not on hardcore so I could teleport to where I was and investigate. Upon teleporting to the same place I discovered that the place I was in was indeed not plains and I was not crazy.

2024.05.11 08:48 Altruistic-Light5275 World generation and biome placement on the world map in Outpostia
 | Hello there! Today, I will talk about how the world generation for the global map works in Outpostia. After the player chooses their preferred scenario, the world generation menu appears, and that's where the fun begins. For procedural generation, I'm using Simplex noise, which looks somewhat similar to old TV static noises. Simplex noise is a type of noise function commonly used in computer graphics, particularly for generating natural-looking patterns and textures. Explaining it in simple terms, imagine spilling milk on a table. If you look closely, you'll notice that the milk spreads out in a somewhat random and uneven pattern, forming clusters, with each drop having some percentage of transparency. submitted by Altruistic-Light5275 to Outpostia [link] [comments] Now, I specify that I want water to cover about 35% of the map. Then, I go through every "drop" (world tile) and check if the visibility of "milk" (noise value) is greater than X%, and place a water tile or not during the world generation. Here's how it would look: World generation with the sea level = 35% And here's the same map, where I want water to cover about 75% of the map: World generation with the sea level = 75% For biome placement and selection, the same principle applies with precipitation and temperature where the sea is absent: I generate a random noise scaled up to a certain point and check which biome is best suitable for the given combination. Here's another map with the sea level even lower: World generation with the sea level = 15% And here is the same map with the temperature overlay: where red color is visible, the temperature is highest. World generation with visible temperature overlay The same map exists for precipitation. Basically, this means "if the temperature is very high, there will be a desert" and if "the temperature is high enough and precipitation allows, there will be a tropical jungle". For now, I'm using the following biomes:
Whittaker Biome Diagram Among other things worth mentioning, these random noises support "seeds", which means for the same unique seed, you could generate the same world. The only problem with such noises is the fact they are too random and uncontrollable. An issue on Godot forum Basically, it's not programming anymore, but more like taming arcane magic, where unless you have multiple PhDs in the field, you're basically working with tuning "magic numbers" up and down. Magic numbers found on the Internet proving to generate Earth-like continents patterns Stay tuned! In following parts, I'll explain how Factions and Settlements are generated and placed on the world map in Outpostia. |

2024.05.10 05:06 Bigbossboy2007 List of Possible Improvements to Mages
I’ve been brainstorming ideas while smoking weed. These are some of what I think are my best ones. I’ll organize them into each mage type and how I think they should be changed or altered.
—————————————————————————
•Misc.
-I think the ability for mages to teleport should be turned into a trait, that way if you want a mage to stay in a specific area, or want to give a different being the ability to teleport it’d be possible.
-Only the White Mage and Evil Mage should have the teleporting trait inherently (I’ll expand why the necromancer shouldn’t in my opinion in their section).
-Witches. I think it fits the vibe and would be cool. They should give out different status effects (Both positive like Powerup and negative like Madness) and be a semi neutral party, interacting with beings differently depending on some factor (like what species they are or something).
—————————————————————————
•Evil Mage
-They should naturally try to make their way to an Infernal Biome (whether through teleporting or walking if the teleporting trait is taken away).
-Once they are there, I think it would be interesting if they’d set up some sort of mage tower (It doesn’t need to serve a purpose necessarily, even just to make the world fuller).
-Their wanting to kill everything should be lowered a bit. I understand they’re supposed to be natural disasters but it’s hard to get attached to any when they fuck around and find out 5 minutes after I spawn one.
—————————————————————————
•White Mage
-In the same way Evil Mages would seek out Infernal Biomes, White Mages should seek out civilizations to protect.
-When they’re not hunting down an Evil Mage, (Which should also be lowered a bit, I’d like them to be able to coexist in the same world) I think it’d be cool if they also hunted the undead or things afflicted with madness.
—————————————————————————
•Necromancer
-They should have a hard cap on the amount of skeletons they can control based on their current level (Like the total amount of skeletons they can control going up X amount per level gained).
-Like I mentioned earlier, I don’t think they should be able to teleport. What happens for me is they go throughout the world building multiple armies with 10s or 100s of skeletons, then teleporting away making that land uninhabitable, where I then have to commit a skeleton mass genocide to fix the problem.
-Like Evil Mages seeking out Infernal Biomes and White Mages seeking out civilizations they can protect, Necromancers should seek out Cursed Biomes. Once they’re there they should set up some sort of house or tower (I think them seeking out a specific biome would also fix them making skeleton armies all over the world, because they’ll naturally want to go to Cursed Biomes to build their army, effectively condensing where any skeletons could be).

I'm not specifically looking for a game, but rather a YouTube gameplay series, so mods feel free to delete this -- I just didn't know where else to post and I've been getting random memories of this series for ages now.
Back in maybe 2013 to 2016, I watched a gameplay series by a guy playing a Minecraft Modpack where he was building a Dinosaur zoo of sorts. My memories are surely a bit spotty and jumbled up, but I'll try to list what I remember.

- The YouTuber was 100% a guy;
- His Minecraft character had a cowboy hat of some sort, and I believe a Safari outfit;
- I believe his house was on a mountain-side, or close to it, in a Savanna biome;
- The Modpack was pretty much only Dinosaurs as far as I recall -- Dinosaurs was definitely the focus;
- I think that past a certain point he was almost always flying on a Pterodactyl;
- I know he built individual cages/habitats for the dinosaurs;
- It was a survival series;
- I don't think he used a facecam.

 | Here are some tips I have found that have helped me trap characters for photos. Feel free to add any additional advice I may have missed! submitted by Interesting_Move_753 to Dreamsnaps [link] [comments] I apologize for the weird character combo but they were the ones closest to me 😅. I’ve never used more than 2 characters personally.
For Moana’s I used rocks and coconut baskets to trap Maui and Moana and then covered them with flowers. I hung out with Moana so I could get Maui to pose. For my theme park I used the celebration baskets to trap goofy because he kept following me. And for savanna style I used some rocks behind the tall grass for Nala. I hope this helps anyone who’s trying to work with characters and there’s a better understanding of how to do it! 😊 |
2024.05.08 00:48 kathrynxdegrassitng Trent or Guelph
Hi, I’m a grade 12 student and have gotten accepted to Trent (Peterborough) for the medical professional stream and am planning on doing a double major in biomed and forensics (don’t know if I wanna be a vet or in the forensics profession as of rn), and I got accepted to Guelph for Biological science (which was an alternative offer, first choice was animal biology but grades did not meet the requirement). I’m having a difficult time choosing what school would be best to do my undergrad in. I know that I’ll end up at Guelph eventually for Med-school (vet school), but am unsure of where to do my undergrad.
For insight/questions:
-I have a high honors scholarship at Trent, no scholarship at Guelph - Does prestige of undergrad schools matter for med school/post grad? - If you go/went to either of these schools, what was your experience?
Edit: another thing I want to note is that I want to be HAPPY! I don’t want to go to a place where people are overly competitive with grades, as I’ve never particularly liked high school for that reason. I love both campus’ so that doesn’t matter for me either!! Main factor is I want to go somewhere that I’ll feel happy and will give me the chance to grow academically!!
Thank you!

2024.05.07 22:47 SoapMcMuscles Compromised Connection When the Game Launches?
 | I have Malwarebytes installed on my machine, and anytime I start up Abiotic Factor, it gives me a notice that a connection to an IP Address has been blocked due to that endpoint being compromised. submitted by SoapMcMuscles to AbioticFactor [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/h8z6buxi72zc1.png?width=530&format=png&auto=webp&s=9182e5d548f65bcdfa1e7109ad0498c5fdaeb820 I'm hoping it's just a weird false positive from Malwarebytes, but I've never seen it reporting anything like this before. The AbioticFactor-Win64-Shipping.exe is a file required to run the game, so I'm unable to just remove it. In the meantime I've just blocked traffic on that port, but haven't had any time to test if that has caused any issues. Has anyone experienced anything similar? |
2024.05.07 20:32 LionLoewe Revisiting Information from Previous Dev Logs
 | Hello there! submitted by LionLoewe to RiseOfHegemony [link] [comments] Most of the mechanics that I introduced way back have been changed in some way, some only slightly but others moreso. In this post I will reference some of the previous logs and make a short summary, however many other changes will be explained in the other upcoming posts. --- PopulationThe population types themselves have mostly stayed the same, only the "Worker" has been renamed "Craftsman" for a bit more clarity. I did completely remove the "artificial population caps", setting a maximum like this is somewhat pointless micromanagement. Same as before, the pops change their profession depending on promotion factors, some of which can be directly influenced by the player such as government wages, buildings and needs fulfilments. https://preview.redd.it/yd5z7pvvq1zc1.png?width=1102&format=png&auto=webp&s=b04493b0f3d8fd0411c0c647193fe9838671da5b Population Needs (as well as building costs etc.) are now more dynamic in general and allow for multiple goods to fulfill the same need For example, food needs now have a total maximum that can be fulfilled by various food types, some buildings may be built with either wood or stone, with each resource potentially having different efficiency at fulfilling the need. https://preview.redd.it/h6h179r1r1zc1.png?width=425&format=png&auto=webp&s=b914cfb353ec7d7d3e9425b400cda4cc9ac648af Something that I have only mentioned in passing so far are also the different resource categories of Basic, Advanced and Luxury goods. The categories themselves have no real effect and are only relevant when it comes to pop needs. https://preview.redd.it/jd1ecud5r1zc1.png?width=1244&format=png&auto=webp&s=bc0132b7011e33229e22aa2ae23dca016e7a283d All pops have Basic Needs, which includes food, firewood and housing material, and not fulfilling these comes with a hefty happiness penalty (and likely starvation). Advanced Needs include clothing, furniture and pop-type specific things such as tools, weaponry or books which improve the happiness or the efficiency as a worker. Luxury Needs are randomly selected from what is available to your country and the count of potentially consumed luxury goods depends on your technology, with multiple luxury goods allowing for even higher happiness. --- WorkflowsWorkflows have mostly remained the same, although now there are rudimentary overviews of what is available and what has actually been produced. Could probably do with some UI redesign in the future, just like other trade screen information. Sadly I do not find it very easy to present all these data points in a readable and pretty way :) https://preview.redd.it/gijlybadr1zc1.png?width=1919&format=png&auto=webp&s=bed89317ced82c95b783aa028a6f74613718ce16 --- PoliciesNational Policies are now more concrete and most of them require certain technologies to be unlocked, currently pertaining to things like the status of citizenship in your nation, religion, serfdom, migration and more, with some being a heavier burden on your administration than others and the value of any policy heavily depends on the situation of your country. I've also largely stepped back from implementing "provincial policies", for two main reasons, the big one being unnecessary microing and the other the realism of implementing certain "strict" national policies and then going against it on a provincial level. Provincial Policies still exist as a mechanic though, however currently only to restrict automatic land claiming. Policies in general are also one big topic for future development, and perhaps more provincial policies will also be included then. --- Taxation TypesTaxes have received a big overhaul, initially only income taxation existed. Now there is the Poll Tax, Income Tax, Value Added Tax and Wealth Tax, each coming with (dis)advantages and the latter three have to be unlocked with technology first. For example, the big obvious downside of the Poll Taxis that it can only be extracted after a pop has paid their daily expenses, and a pop with no money can not pay taxes. --- DiplomacyDiplomatic actions are now more moddable and I recently added a few new actions. Many are also tech gated now. Some things are still missing such as trade deals and advanced subject interactions. More on Diplomacy will follow in later posts. --- CulturesOne thing I removed: Hybrid cultures. As assimilation speed is also dependent on the share of a culture, hybrid cultures would usually form tiny ~1-10 pop entities that would fully assimilate before becoming a sizable minority. Perhaps this will return in a changed form in the future but for now it created nothing but performance drain and very long culture names. On the other hand, cultures can now be given specific rights and become fully accepted in your nation if you fulfill the necessary conditions. https://preview.redd.it/m5joxt8tr1zc1.png?width=1379&format=png&auto=webp&s=4d51c8d9ce596ff9d1addf2a4fdfb7df8a505405 --- ReligionAlso changed quite a bit. More in a later post. --- Technology TreeIs now larger and more organized but not yet finished, currently reaching until around ~1800 of real life technology. https://preview.redd.it/uzboywpur1zc1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=8b5263def63092f65783c5ad5fd2b770779c5914 --- Biomes and map generationMap generation has been reworked completely as were terrain types, now there are proper biomes with smoother transitions as well as cliffs on steep terrain where armies will be unable to pass through. https://preview.redd.it/kfggpguwr1zc1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=39f864fe2105dd11bcaa9d18915809ce24029677 --- Armies/NaviesCombat has changed a little bit, there are now multiple damage and armor types. Navies are now using up morale while at sea, requiring them to go back to shore if depleted (until you have certain techs). However, a rework of some unit-related mechanics and specifically better moddability for it is already planned. More on that in a later post. --- That is it for now. Other reworked and newly introduced mechanics will be covered later. The next post will be entitled National Creeds, Government and your Nation among others |
2024.05.07 15:50 cats64sonic Globalization's Shadow: Exploring the Downsides and Population Ecology Dynamics
Introduction:
Globalization, characterized by increased interconnectedness and integration of economies, cultures, and societies, has brought about profound transformations in the modern world. While globalization has led to economic growth, technological advancement, and cultural exchange, it also has significant downsides, particularly in its impact on population ecology. This essay delves into the downsides of globalization and its intersection with population ecology dynamics, highlighting the challenges posed to biodiversity, ecosystem stability, and human well-being in a globalized world.
The Downsides of Globalization: Disruption and Degradation
Globalization has been associated with a range of negative consequences for the environment, ecosystems, and populations worldwide. One of the primary downsides is environmental degradation, as increased industrialization, urbanization, and resource extraction have led to habitat destruction, pollution, and loss of biodiversity.
Globalization has also facilitated the spread of invasive species, diseases, and pollutants across continents, disrupting ecological balances and threatening native species and ecosystems. Invasive species outcompete native species for resources, alter habitats, and disrupt ecological processes, leading to declines in biodiversity and ecosystem resilience.
Furthermore, globalization has contributed to overexploitation of natural resources, including forests, fisheries, and freshwater sources, as increased demand for commodities drives unsustainable extraction and consumption patterns. Deforestation, overfishing, and water scarcity have negative impacts on ecosystems, species populations, and the livelihoods of local communities dependent on natural resources.
Population Ecology Dynamics: Interactions and Adaptations
Population ecology is the study of how populations of organisms interact with each other and their environments, including factors such as population size, distribution, growth, and regulation. Population dynamics are influenced by a variety of biotic and abiotic factors, including resource availability, predation, competition, and environmental conditions.
One of the key concepts in population ecology is carrying capacity, which refers to the maximum population size that a particular habitat or ecosystem can sustain over the long term. Population growth may be limited by factors such as food availability, space, and predation, leading to density-dependent regulation of population size.
Population ecology also encompasses the study of population interactions, such as competition, predation, symbiosis, and disease transmission, which shape population dynamics and community structure. These interactions influence the distribution and abundance of species within ecosystems and can have cascading effects on ecosystem functioning and stability.
Intersection of Globalization and Population Ecology
Globalization intersects with population ecology dynamics in various ways, influencing patterns of population distribution, abundance, and interactions across different spatial and temporal scales. The movement of people, goods, and organisms across continents has led to the spread of invasive species, diseases, and pollutants, with implications for population dynamics and community structure.
Globalization also affects population dynamics through its impacts on habitat loss, fragmentation, and degradation, which can disrupt breeding patterns, migration routes, and food availability for wildlife populations. Fragmentation of habitats can isolate populations, reduce genetic diversity, and increase the risk of local extinctions, particularly for species with limited dispersal abilities.
Furthermore, globalization influences human population dynamics through its effects on urbanization, industrialization, and socio-economic development. Rapid urbanization and population growth in urban areas can lead to habitat destruction, pollution, and resource depletion, affecting both human and wildlife populations.
Challenges and Opportunities for Population Ecology in a Globalized World
In the face of globalization's downsides, population ecology faces numerous challenges, including habitat loss, fragmentation, overexploitation of resources, and the spread of invasive species and diseases. Addressing these challenges requires interdisciplinary approaches that integrate ecological, social, and economic perspectives to promote sustainability and resilience.
Conservation efforts must focus on protecting and restoring habitats, mitigating the impacts of invasive species and pollutants, and promoting sustainable land and resource management practices. Strategies such as habitat restoration, protected area management, and community-based conservation initiatives can help to conserve biodiversity and ecosystem services in a globalized world.
Furthermore, efforts to address global environmental challenges, such as climate change, deforestation, and biodiversity loss, require international cooperation and collaboration. Global agreements, such as the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Paris Agreement on climate change, provide frameworks for collective action to protect and sustainably manage the planet's ecosystems and resources.
Conclusion
Globalization presents significant challenges for population ecology, including habitat loss, fragmentation, overexploitation, and the spread of invasive species and pollutants. However, it also offers opportunities for collaboration, innovation, and conservation on a global scale. By addressing the downsides of globalization and promoting sustainable development practices, we can work towards a more resilient, biodiverse, and equitable world for both human and non-human populations. As we navigate the complexities of globalization and population ecology, it is essential to embrace the principles of sustainability, stewardship, and interconnectedness to ensure the health and well-being of present and future generations.
