Kestral posted:Anyone else had issues with the new wall lights attaching... Oddly? I keep finding walls that don't want to accept a wall light on their southern face in particular. Yeah they don't attach to the wall, they want to attach to the floor spot that has a wall adjacent, if that makes more sense? It has to be either natural or constructed wall, no vents or other crap as far as I can tell

LonsomeSon posted:A thing about classical genre literature, as well, is that it’s generic in that it helped define the genre, so if you’ve read more recent works which borrowed from or reference Lovecraftian themes, you’ve already got those basics and some innovations on board so you’re ready for more. Yeah this is probably part of it. Weird geometry and quantum physics were cool new things when he was young. The unknown can be scary. Humanity being tiny and insignificant was a new idea too. So Lovecraft is going look at all this crazy poo poo, no, wait, don't look at it or you'll go mad. Meanwhile my dude is over here going,  Curiosity destroys fear. And then you build the Torment Nexus.

A good example of what this actually means comes up in one of the 40k books, I think one of the inquisitor ones. They're looking through some chaos ruins and one of the guardsmen realises that the reason a triangular rune feels off is the internal angles add up to more than 180 degrees. A lot has been said already about the parts of his work coloured by his racism and agoraphobia, but this other part comes from the science community's initial reaction to quantum physics and general relativity at the time. Basically, a lot of these concepts are so unintuitive that the human mind might itself be incapable of fully comprehending the nature of the universe, to the point that there may be dangers we can't really conceive of. A lot of Lovecrafts stuff about alien gods killing off humanity by accident as they simply go about their existence comes from the implications of how weird stuff like quantum tunelling have a non-zero chance of screwing stuff up in ways that feel they should be impossible. Basically the horror in these aspects comes from how the combination of the inherently random nature of the universe coupled with how unintuitive things get as we study it further made him and his peers feel scared and powerless.

You could consider roadside picnic to be lovecraftian horror in that sense. Guy goes into the zone, walks through what looks like a cobweb, inexplicably dies of heart failure. What did he walk through? We'll never know but now we know don't touch cobwebs in the zone

Are escape attempts by monsters on holding platforms similar to prison breaks, where every prisoner in a given room simultaneously busts out and suddenly has the keys to their room? Or is it per holding platform, so that only one monster per room will escape at a time?

Do prisoners and slaves with the "incapable of violence" trait try to escape and do they fight your colonists when doing so?

Or is it per holding platform, so that only one monster per room will escape at a time? It's per platform and they actually have to break down the door. Which in practice means that unless you gently caress up your cells, you will have one monster escape at a time, and you'll have more than enough time to prepare counter-measures while it's bashing the security door. OwlFancier posted:It's all of them in the room. So be careful what you keep together. I don't think that's true. I generally have 4 platforms per room and I'm pretty sure I've had situations where I only had to re-capture one entity. Unless, I'm mistaken?

I've had two entities in a three platform room attempt an escape at the same time. Only one breakout message, so I assume when one entity attempts a breakout there's a roll for every other entity in the room to see if they break free at the same time.

Yeah, I usually run 4-platform containment rooms (except for the invisible fucker), and I've had 1, 2, and 3 entites try to escape at the same time. Never 4, but I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

Yeah the vibe I got from anomaly is it's what happens when an archaeotech superintelligence becomes actively malicious to humanity rather than simply indifferent to it - think in the sense of I have no mouth yet I must scream. Killing all the humans is too easy, they have to go insane and suffer indefinitely instead. All the effects seems to have some kind of in universe explanation rather than just "madness out of universe aliens did it" as per Lovecraft.

I tried making a custom xenotype of tiny angry drug-addicted fairies. Unfortunately, since they're so small, a single dose of any drug instantly overwhelms their tiny bodies and causes them to die of an overdose instantly, so back to the drawing board on this one.

Has someone done the bottom-line math on the skill buffs provided by luciferium? it's all like "120% to x which has a 0.3 impact on y up to 1.1 which has a 3x impact on z which has a 0.5 impact on x" When you do all the math, what are the final multipliers for pawn abilities and skills?

Chrome will give you bigger boosts in every category, if you install every organ. I’m curious to know, though, if Luci also enhances buffs from chrome by its percentages, meaning that you get a better Luciferian if you build them into a better pawn.

Trip report from High Life Animist colony: You can make ridiculous amounts of drugs, like stupid amounts. Also seems to apply for Ambrosia btw. This also has the side effect of absolutely skyrocketing the colony wealth, which kinda sucks if no traders come by, so try to get microelectronics for the comms console asap. Otherwise, I had to fight off a death pall depression spiral by getting everyone drunk, high and psyched out of their mind constantly, and I think I owe the entire survival of the colony so far to a single Elephant that self-tamed early on. He has been carrying me hard in every raid, and will be revered as such. Pretty fun so far. Definitely not the strongest ideology I've tried, but seems very well positioned for the Archonexus ending goal, what with how much wealth you generate through the drug trade.
