No wonder they love Ruzzia so much, probably because they threaten us with nukes that can totally singlehandedly launch Florida into orbit (source: trust me bro) on a daily basis (to the point that between them, Iran and now Israel nuke threats are now meaningless) and suddenly want a state from us that would give them thousands of gays to kill and put them on Seattle’s doorstep (so just one Trump-like president away from tech secrets and even deadlier homophobic killing sprees for them!), now that it’s becoming a frozen Saudi Arabia sans enslaved desis/gay-defenestratings

Claim to be left-wing, but kick all of that to the curb to lick the boots of any far-right extremist faction that promises to conquer and erase a vexing pro-Western neighbor- Ruzzia, Hamas, etc.

It was invented by some scottish guy long before we had the means to measure things that would need it, and ever since that multibillion-dollar satellite thing fell to pieces even American scientists use metric units, we learn them in every grade level’s science class and our scientific community has this understandable atmosphere of regret that Congress was too lazy to completely kill off imperial units when they had the chance

It added so much lore to the human empires and the gameplay in general, I find it hard to tell the difference between vanilla and the mod. But one thing I do know is modded, is the 21 farm district squares my Mars got after the terraforming (when my empire isn’t Ocean Paradise with water worlds)- as well as the 20-ish mining squares I got on the hot Trappist planet, and the precursor ruin modifiers on that planet which made it build mining districts super fast.

To be fair it was in the same system as Earth, the world whose people uplifted the races that would later form most of our population, and removed the “de-evolved” trait from the victims of some ancient colossus war while gifting them special traits.

Isn’t Rankine the Kelvin of Fahrenheit

Paradox have been known to not optimize their games

I’ve seen your comment history, you really need a snickers bar.

What if there was once a sentient civilization tens of millions of years before us, but then it either destroyed itself at some point (leaving behind what are now our uranium deposits) or was wiped out by a flood basalt or something? What if the feared “bad ending” for humanity a la a nuclear war is the only civilization apocalypse that has already happened?

Kelvin mostly seems to be used to measure unimaginably hot (like ovens, metal forges, stars) or unimaginably cold (e.g. planets beyond Mars) things, Fahrenheit still exists only because the US Congress was lazy (though as an American I do find it somewhat useful for comparing weather and Earth’s climate zones in finer detail than just -1 in winter and 28 in summer), and I’ve never heard of that last one.

Ah I see, I should’ve worded that paragraph better

Yeah. I hear NASA and India are planning to send 3d-printer robots to lava caves to seal them off, cover/get rid of all moon dust and build permanent bases there (but as of now the priority seems to be researching the polar water-ice and using moon rocks to study what the early solar system’s geology was like)
