Think about how long it took to grow when carving wood. Then you fuck it up and ruin it. A tree older than the oldest relative you can remember died for this and you ruined it.
At some point I do want to buy some proper wood rather than using broken fence panels, but then it costs money.
Don’t have it but want to get that wood disc. But there are loads that I want and aware that I shouldn’t just buy all of them.
At some point I think I should buy proper wood boards to work with. Want to make a board game - game of Ur can be carved onto a simple plank, then decorate each square with a carved shape or pattern. Coasters are another one.
Been drawing patterns lately, one I quite like is a cat with a herring bone repeating background that I hope would come out nicely as a line carving.
I like orbital space factories. Kinda wish we could barrel up fuel to make that on my orbital factory though but at least fuel production takes much less space than asteroid collection and crushing.
Most likely looking at 3 different platform types:
Static factories - pretty self explanatory
Resource miners - speed isn’t too important, efficient fuel usage and devour as many rocks as possible
Transporters - fast and high cargo capacity
Got a dremel and have wondered about using it to carve out a turnip. Would probably want one of the large power carving bits, not sure what its like carving things with loads of moisture inside. Pretty sure I remember reading its better to use the flex shaft so you don’t risk getting moisture inside the motor.
Does the map width apply to space platforms as well? Narrow platforms would probably have done better in 2.0 but I suspect you could still get to endgame alright with pencil ships even if they sail a little slower.
Given I want to make small things I have wondered about using firewood. Probably a lot of work to saw it down though and often has cracks from drying quickly.
There are some fallen trees in the park. Could I just take them?
