bob dobbs is dead posted:cool kids property of banach spaces is convergence of cauchy sequence but in grid discrete land who gives a poo poo i guess I can barely prove the convergence of a goddamn geometric series! If I ever manage to pop enough papers from The Stack to get back to this then I'll have to figure out all of that crap! I mean it's not actually going to happen because past experience shows that I've never actually read any single paper I've put in The Stack instead of reading it on the spot, but I feel like I should still be somewhat irked by having been introduced to a potentially interesting paper I will never actually read. It's more of a reflex than anything at this point. Sorry. silentsnack posted:DF wagons can cheat by using the same pathfinding algorithm on a modified "the world as navigated by a MxN object" where every path-blocking obstacle is (M-1)/2 tiles wider in one dimension and (N-1)/2 tiles wider in the other. Rimworld also has poo poo like terrains with different speed values Just average those speed values and solve on that then go for a finer resolution or something. If multigrid methods are good enough to solve fluid dynamics problems then they're good enough to figure out how best to run over some idiot raiders with my tricked out T-34 that somehow landed on this rimworld 2000 years ago before being restored by my colonists to blow up some cannibal ersatz fascists, goddamnit!

One thing missing from Biotech is sex-linked traits. Just a container that activates if "is male" or "is female" is true. You can kind of kludge that with monogender xenotypes, but a mixed colony won't breed true. Best I've found is making it entirely xenogenes so they breed baseliners, then implanting the babies.

I like how trying to sterilize a horse can result in grievous neck, head, and hoof wounds. Just what exactly where you aiming for?

It also takes more food to power the vats than they'll eat and you don't get kids doing work. Otherwise yeah its pretty free.

They didn't use enough/the proper sedatives, so the horse responded to the initial grab (not even a cut) by rearing up and toppling over backwards on to the surgical equipment.

I recovered a downed tribal raider who had lost a leg during the fight - normally I heal these folks up, convert them to my ideoligion and send them home, so I went to give this poor woman a peg leg to make the journey home a little easier. Oops, guess you're getting two peg legs

Oops, guess you're getting two peg legs Yeah, I'm always constantly double-checking to make sure I'm picking the correct limb. Would be nice if I could just right click the missing part in the health tab and select the relevant surgery that way.

One of my, several hundred, mods adds a little red cross on operations that will restore a missing limb. Maybe it's medical system expansion 2? Or questionable ethics? I honestly have no idea where it's from, it just appeared one day.

He amputated in addition the fingers of his young assistant (who died afterwards in the ward from hospital gangrene). He also slashed through the coat tails of a distinguished surgical spectator, who was so terrified that the knife had pierced his vitals he fainted from fright (and was later discovered to have died from shock).

That's one of my favorite weird medical apocryphas because it sounds very 'drink cocaine to cure the ghosts in your blood' 1800's medicine, but they actually really didn't have anesthesia like we do now so being able to do an amputation just ludicrously quickly.

yeah prior to ether being able to knock a motherfucker cold the primary measure for how good a surgeon you were was how fast you could any% an operation because, y'know, no matter how big and tough you are, when someone is carving into your flesh you are definitely gonna holler and scream and struggle it's basically THE big reason why surgery in rimworld looks so dumb on the biggest failures. yes, that stuff happened, but it happened because the patient was screaming and thrashing as though they were being murdered. because they kinda were. even herbal meds will knock someone the gently caress out so it looks super loving stupid in practice. that said it's also deeply funny so imho it can stay

You also have to remember that a lot of Rimworld doctors are self-taught and may be drunk and high and probably getting psychically screamed at by a malevolent machine god during the operation

The fact that it's as good for a burn or the flu as it is for a broken leg is a gameplay abstraction that apply to higher levels of medicine as well. The fact that it's far more effective than you'd expect a plant to be is a plausible sci-fi conceit.

I started playing again recently and I turned on Biotech since my last colony was before it came out. I got some refugees with a child so I took them in. Everything was going great until a boomrat wandered into a trap and exploded which killed the refugee kid who just happened to be nearby. I then sold the kid sized clothing I created for weapons. Rimworld is amazing lol. Edit: For sale, baby clothing never worn. Will trade for chain shotguns or other automatic weapons.

drat I always slept on Hussars because having one magically made traders stop selling go juice, but it's impressive seeing someone take a few hits during a raid and be fully healed by the time the plane is loaded and heading home. It's also great because my one abrasive pawn just keeps running up to call him a slur and get his limbs immediately mangled. He's had like seven trips to the hospital and he still won't learn

Coolguye posted:tf are you talking about there is definitely a general use painkiller disinfectant anesthesia burn tannin irl its called uh What are you talking about? Coca leaves are all four, although they aren't a general anesthetic. (Why do you think every synthetic local anesthetic ends with -caine?) Any tannin-rich leaf is also a topical disinfectant. Poppy latex is a painkiller and general anesthetic. Crown flower latex has a local and possibly general anesthetic effect, as well as a topical disinfectant effect (although it's also worryingly toxic). Avaram senna has tannin-rich leaves and may be a broad antibiotic when consumed. There's tons of plants with reported anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, or sedative effects that just haven't been explored properly in studies. It's not realistic that you don't have to process and properly measure herbal medicine so you can control the dose, especially when one of its main uses is general anesthesia. And the real-life plants that we know of also happen to be highly addictive. But I do think you're selling the possibility of some sort of broadly useful natural or GM medicinal plant short.
