I paid for a scrapyard contract and two civil recyclers are barely able to keep up with that. 3 furnaces running constantly is able to feed 2 each processor/grinder to keep a bunch of everything in stock to cut down on time spent waiting for 6 more bearings or whatever.Ytlaya posted:edit: Speaking of scrap, what's a good source for Rubber? The only semi-reliable things I can think of are the tires that sometimes appear in the scrapyard and the tires that sometimes appear to the west of my workshop (around where Mi-an often is). there's a bunch more west by the clump of big trees and hardwood, sometimes they're completely obscured by the grass. also next to the sandfishing pond by the scrapyard Griz fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Nov 15, 2023 |

There's scrap all over the place around the salvage yard and to the side of the salvage yard. More scrap will spawn in as the story progresses, but even in the early game there should be piles of metal and wood around that can be broken apart for salvage.

of particular note is the robot that spawns right outside of the scrapyard gate after the bus appears. that's a guaranteed circuit for free every day. you need a lot of those.

The scrapyard should have at least three big salvage points everyday. Most days there will be 1-2 tires you can get rubber salvage from too.

Worth noting that you only ever "need" 3 pets for dispatch. I still got all of them because why not, and it's fun to see them running around in the morning and evening. Getting the gecko pet ASAP from the DLC (if you have it) and then getting the friendship of 2 other pets up to the point where you can adopt as soon as the game allows you to is the "optimal" way to do it, but it's not exactly critical, just a nice little bonus.

I feel a little bad for Mi-An. Right now it's the fall of the 2nd year, and she's doing her best. A nice 3,000 builder points on the scoreboard. Probably will get close to 6k by the end of the year. Meanwhile I'm at 42k points and rising very rapidly with a bunch of high value commissions coming in from the story. I wish I could help her upgrade her machines because she's still using a basic furnace. She seriously needs to get with the times!

The best act 3 revelation is that ( HUGE late game spoilers! ) Mi-an was consistently so low in the rankings because Yan was stealing credit for basically all her work, to the point that once Wei takes over and assesses the full depths of Yan's embezzlement he gives her 500,000 gols in owed backpay.

It's not her fault she's competing with an eldritch entity that's puppeting her main rival with inhuman level of efficiency.

Yeah, this is after that. I exposed Yan on the 2nd because I wanted to see his reaction to losing on the 1st. Mi-an is still just, well, not competing even remotely on the same level. I was hoping she'd at least compete with Yan on the scoreboard, who had something like 12k points (though was stealing everyone else's commissions on top of Mi-an's).

Yeah I do wish that post-Yan getting kicked out and Mi-an no longer having her work stolen she'd shoot way up in the rankings and be legitimate late/post-game competition for the top spot each month, but alas. Maybe a mod will come along one day and fix it. Panfilo posted:I like how Rocky politely asks if there is a... Legal way to deal with Yan. Rocky is great because he is both a righteously angry punch man and also a doting dad who - if you go to his house late enough - you can catch reading bedtime stories to Pebbles to get him to fall asleep.

My plan to be the town bicycle might get disrupted by having Owen as a boyfriend, as it will preclude easy relationship points. Just too much risk he'll get all if he sees me stuffing sandberries into some other hussy's mouth. Such a nice ego trip to have sandrockers all excitedly running up to you to sniff your hair while saying a friendly hello.

Maybe a mod will come along one day and fix it. Nah, the thing to remember with Mi-An is that at the earliest opportunity she stops being quite so gung-ho about commissions and starts working at the Moisture Farm with Zeke - possibly because you suggested she get a hobby so she quits working 24/7. So she's never going to be the force of nature you are. Bear in mind also that none of the other builders are getting the personal attention of Mr. Musa, richest man in the Free Cities, who prefers to work with people he knows - so, you. Basically from that point on no one else even tries to compete with you, they're not on your level and they all know it.

Wikipedia says: "Telesis (from the Greek τέλεσις /telesis/) or "planned progress" was a concept and neologism coined by the American sociologist Lester Frank Ward (often referred to as the "father of American sociology"), in the late 19th century to describe directed social advancement via education and the scientific method. The term has since been adopted as the name of numerous groups, schools, and businesses." ...which I think means something along the lines of "make the world better by not being a dumbass and actually knowing what you're doing"
