Knowing that some science fields and therefore bonuses were much more useful than others, I wondered about the balance of techs in each field. I made a spreadsheet from the tables in the wiki and tallied up all of the techs and projects in the game.

Some important caveats:

• "Future tech" is omitted.
• Repeatable projects are included, at their base cost only.
• Usually a player would only research a fraction of the available projects. In particular, you probably only really need one fission line, one or two fusion lines, and associated drives, plus maybe one or two drives outside of those lines. And of course, social sciences are crowded with unification and fragmentation projects, most o

I'm just starting out. A lot of mods are understandably focused on dramatic expansion of high difficulty content for the late midgame to endgame. I'm not quite there yet. What kinds of mods are good for people in the early midgame, just starting look for a place to settle down? I'm interested in both content (especially missions) and mechanics mods..

I used my points for a decently priced first class domestic ticket for a departure from Newark. Newark has a rough reputation, so I am thinking of going way early for safety and resting in a lounge until my flight. Supposedly first class ticket holders get a discount on a lounge pass, is that right? But does that apply to any of the partner lounges in Newark or are they full price only? And if they are full price, what's the best value among the lounges there?

It seems like in 4.0, micromanaging population growth rates is supremely important, but I can't find anywhere in the planetary or empire data that displays the growth rate or summarizes recent pop growth or immigration. Where should I be looking?

I'm fishing in Zone 11 for pinks. We've been out three times, had some luck and caught a few, but never limited, partly because we only get a modest number of hooks and partly because we only convert maybe 50-60% of those hooks.

Right now we're mostly trolling with flashers and hoochies (+ herring strips) at various depths between 20 and 60 ft with a downrigger, in total depths of 100-300 ft. We've tried stopping and using buzz bombs + lures and herring strips near jumpers but have yet to land anything like that.

What should I try to really step it up and limit on my next outing? Should I focus on perfecting my buzz bomb game and stay near the surface? Anything in particular to adjust on m

Due to transportation issues, I only have travel and pack rods that I can easily move around without a car. For the first time, I'm now looking at salmon fishing and saltwater trolling, and while I know it's impractical, I'd like to stick to travel rods. However, salmon rods that are packable are very rare, and salmon rods that are apparently suitable for trolling are even more rare. Do good packable trolling rods exist?

I'm fishing frequently at a public dock on Lake Washington. Every time I go, I see a pair of large fish, which I think are possibly steelhead or other local trout, swim by together around midday. I see them once per outing, and never more than once. They always pass under the dock in water about seven feet deep, and go on their way.

They don't seem at all interested in what I have to offer. I've tried shrimp, live worm and wacky worm. I think of the three of them, the wacky worm presentation was the best and the live worm was the worst, so I'm not ruling out that a live worm can work with a better presentation. But what else should be at the top of my list to try? Ideally, I'd have somethi

In Steam, if you right click on a game in the library and select properties, you can change the language in the "General" section. For games with multiple languages, this (sometimes) changes the language of the game.

How exactly does that work on a Windows level? Does it change the executible invocation with a standardized flag somehow? Or an environment variable?

My gathering buddies can't even take down nodes half their own level, even though they have good tools. They work very slowly and then just give up in the middle. Is there a way to properly motivate them?

I do have all the gathering classes myself, but I'm hoping to get them to do some work without me so I can level up my crafters.

I have three indoor cats, two mature siblings and a one year old upstart. There is a lot of friction as the one year old establishes territory and expresses unrelenting curiousity about my older cats. I'd like to separate some space inside my house so cats that need alone time can get it, via installing a microchip door on an interior door.

Two questions:

- Has anyone tried this strategy to resolve inter-cat conflict? Did it work?

- What kind of microchip reader door should I get? Ideally, I'd want one that closes quickly after a cat goes through, and that can be configured to be selective in one direction, but will let any cat through in the other direction (in case the wrong cat does

I need some advice on how best to utilize a small boat for fishing in lakes in Western WA. I'll be targeting both stocked and native trout depending on the lake in question, as well as bass and panfish.

I've been shore fishing for several years now, and have built up a bit of knowledge about where to go and when to go, but we now have a (16') boat in the family and I'll need to change things up.

Any general knowledge would be appreciated, but here are some specific questions:

• How much should I rely on the fish finder? What kind of fish are they most useful for? Is there a practical minimum size? It's a Humminbird Helix 5, I don't know any more specifics about it yet, I'll be trying it o

Most Switch games have multiple languages configured by the Switch system (all or nothing). Some of them have toggleable languages in the settings, so you can change it without changing the system language. A handful additionally have separate text and voice settings, so you can set the voice to the original but not the text.

I'm bilingual and would like to set the voice language to Japanese, or failing that, the entire game to Japanese without changing the Switch system settings. If I buy the US release, do we know yet if it will have Japanese voices available, and if they're configurable separate from text? Normally I'd look at the Switch store page for a clue on whether Japanese is avail

I understand that for fruits like the avacado, banana, apple and so forth, new varieties don't reliably produce tasty offspring. Are there places in the world where botanists intentionally grow, say, thousands of seed-propagated avacado trees in the hopes of finding the next Hass? Likewise with bananas and so forth? And for such trees, do the traits of the parents matter very much as inputs?
