I did a bad thing

#ColonistLife

I enslaved someone.

then removed their legs so they are forced to stay in bed.

then installed joywire, psychic harmonizer and psychic sensitizer.

with everything and their eltex gear they have a psychic sensitivity of almost 300% 367% while sitting at 100% mood all the time.

that +20 +29 mood buff for my colony is enough that i can host nobles in a barrack without beds and they always have good mood

when at home noone can flip anymore.

and i feel bad

From a utilitarian philosophy stance you've done a morally good thing.

Only if they are alive long enough for the good (joy) being created has time to counteract the bad (everything else)

Watch out, the psychic harmonizer seriously screws your framerate and tps later in the game

There's a mod to remove the graphic/lag spikes.

There's a graphic? I never noticed.

really? at what point? doesnt it just buff mood?

As harmonizers rely on pawns being on their radius, the game needs to be constantly calculating and ticking the mood buff and health diff on every pawn. Do a tick every second for 30 pawns and you have a crap ton of lag. Same thing with the specialist and leader commands.

Mod that fixes this:

And that's also why utilitarianism and fascism are not necessary mutual exclusive.

You could say this about literally any political ideology.

lotsa things and nazis arent mutually exclusive

pro tip: that's why it's called national SOCIALISM

This is bait but I'll bite anyway. Nazis purged socialist and working class party members during the Night of the Long Knives. They saw socialists as jews in disguise and decried "cultural bolshevism" at every turn.

And potentially most damning, their primary method of revitalizing the economy was through privatization. Taking the means of production and putting it in the hands of capitalist corporations collaborating with the state. Literally the furthest from socialism as you can possibly be. The nazis were not socialist.

akotap•

you're saying this as if this didnt apply to other socialist parties. the infighting between countless socialists is a well known fact

yes, nazis BELIEVED they werent the same as other socialists, but that doesnt mean they werent socialists at all. the main difference being that they are racists. and that's apparently a good thing. (dont believe me? read "mein kampf", it's available for free online)

judging by the fact that this is plebbit, you arent gonna read anything yourself, so let me help you with some videos:

Ah yes

Even though in the Bamberg Conference of (huh) 14th February 1926, Toothbrush 'stache clearly stated he didnt want to follow the Socialist parts of his 25 point plan and the whole name of the NSDAP was to pander to as many as possible.

akotap•

ah yes, the evil austrian mighty mustache man who said he didnt wanna follow communism because that's evil capitalist jewry [his words not mine] but that he'll show the world "REAL" socialism with his nazi party

learn to read your sources correctly

Hm, well... It could be worse. It's certainly extremely unethical, but look at it this way: He's given nice clothes, probably a nice bed, and probably nice food too. He never has to work, and he's literally getting feel-good chemicals at full-blast from that implant. His internal organs are also (presumably) fine so it's not like you made the man struggle to breathe or constantly be in pain, he's just full-time bedridden.

He probably IS pretty bored, since slaves aren't allowed to have fun, but I mean, y'know, you could also just have him as a regular colonist if you stuck a TV in his room. Eh I mean c'mon you probably owe the guy at least that much for all that, right? Otherwise, he's probably pretty lonely, having a nurse come cheer him up a bit every day would help with that.

It won't make up for the crimes against humanity you just committed but all things considered at least the guy probably ain't exactly suffering. There's definitely people out there who'd be content with that sort of life. (Even though it's sad that we live in a world so bad that anyone ever would have to think they would be...) I've seen waaaaaay more horrific and cruel stuff on this sub. LOL

(By the way, since you're using that harmonizer, if you don't already have this mod I STRONGLY recommend going and grabbing it to save your framerate in advance lol.)

he is missing 1 lung :>

and since the bed is in the main hallway, there always is company nearby

thanks for the mod. i might add that since i indeed notices a few hickups after those 10 guests arrived

Maritisa•

give him a new one and a modest private room

nothing much, just enough that he can sleep well, since it's one of the only things he CAN do...

AngryAccountant31•

Put him in the tv room so people come hang out with him

pretty much :D

Sounds like the psychic harmonizer isn't working properly. Either that or you need to sit closer to your screen.

haha u should check out the town of Omelas, its a story that sounds similar to ur situation

Dramandus•

This is like the opposite of the horror trope where the characters go into a spooky house with a bad vibe.

This time the whole place is unnaturally pleasant to be inside of and you love coming back to hang out.

And even when they open the cupboard that contains the human good vibes broadcast antenna all you can muster is a mildly disapproving "Tut tut. That doesn't look like a very nice thing to do to someone, Mr Monsterous Bastard."
