Why hide it? let it shine!

Where I grew up, most places had names given by explorers based on whatever saint’s birthday it happened to be that day, unless something more interesting happened. Man Eaten Lake was always a favorite. so depending on how the voyage out goes... Man Eaten Base?

Ha so it is! I only heard about it from an icon on Google Earth. Not sure why they would leave month-old weather laying around... So my worries are assuaged !

Doh, that s what I get for not reading the whole page, I read as far as “launch payload without a rocket” I guess they meant without a huge 1st stage...

Not a cyclone, just a storm with 35 mph winds: https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_at1.shtml?cone

It might make sense for suborbital. Maybe satellite interceptors? I tend to think that people who want catapult launches don’t really understand orbital velocity.

Should we be worried about Tropical Depression Andrea sitting right in the middle of the LZ?

I think there is a definition in the INTERNAL node that determines whether and what type of helmet they wear. Iirc, they wear a fishbowl helmet only in the cupola.

There is a lot of cool stuff already, It is available on his GitHub. You are in for a treat.

How much energy would this take? @HebaruSan, how wide is this hole? Is 1m^2 big enough for the bomb?

I have noticed the sunflare failing to show while use both mods, but I hadn’t been able to track it down.

Does the mod still work despite the message? I’m still on 1.7.1 so I haven’t seen this issue.

I’d describe it as Dwarf Fortress with thermodynamics and graphics.

So actually a quite relevant factor for a boat with a rocket on it. I wonder what the period of the drone ship plus rocket is.

Whoa! Thanks for working on this, the parachute packs are a visual nuisance. How did you get the pack to disappear?

Well not now, but maybe it would in 50 years..,

I’ve Never made it much beyond finding oil before having the colony collapse. I think I tend to be impatient and get too many Dupes too quickly.

I think characters get an efficiency bonus for specializing, and access to certain advanced skills like the the environment suits. T trade off being that they need higher levels of decor to be happy. I’m not totally sure if they always keep all trained skills or only those of the hat they are currently wearing.

With that range they might as well just land on Bermuda!

This would be the case for an object floating on the surface though! My experience with fluid dynamics is limited to some basic open channel flow through simple pipe calcs and it gets complicated quickly, because the solutions are very sensitive to shape and velocity, most problems need to be solved iteratively. That is to say I’m at my limit of knowledge on this.

Let's call this an air bubble. I was surprised to find one of the best answers I've ever seen on Quora. https://www.quora.com/How-does-the-acceleration-of-a-bubble-change-as-it-moves-to-the-surface-from-the-bottom, which I have quoted in part below. To summarize a bit, If you ignore that you have to move water out of the way of the rising bubble, acceleration would equal the proportional difference of densities, where air is 1000x less dense than water, so 1000g! But since you can't ignore that, it maxes out at 2G! The biggest difference between your case and a typical bubble is that a bubble can expand as hydrostatic pressure decreases, which actually causes buoyancy to increase. - For a fixed volume, buoyancy would not increase as the object rises. Why are you interested in this question? Thinking of launching rockets from the sea floor?
