You're basically describing the concept behind web3, but that's a dirty word now due to greed from capitalists and environmental concerns from... environmentalists. (The environmental concerns being reasonable concerns, but they're often overstated / people think it's all as bad as Bitcoin.) Web3 could've meant seizing the means of entertainment production by the people producing the content. Maybe it still can, but it doesn't look like it.

Not necessarily by bots, but a lot of product-related articles - say, "What's the best washing machine?" or "What's the best hot wire cutter?" or anything like that - will have multiple near-identical articles across multiple websites with links for each product generating a kickback for the author. Whereas Reddit was just people talking.

Articles like that are probably starting to be written by AI for sure though. You could write an article on every type of product that way, and get kickbacks from all of them, all while depriving people of actual useful info. Woo, innovation!

Feel free to make a new post announcing it too, might get more people aware of it that way

If you ignore construction guidelines for a colony, we'll ask you to remove the base. If you refuse to remove the base, you'll be removed from the community. If the base is malicious (ie blocking doors, built on top of someone else's base without their approval, etc) we will report the base to Hello Games, and they have a very good response rate of removing those bases.

If that seems a little controlling, you have to understand that this city is being constructed using very specific techniques to minimize rendering issues / lag and provide the best experience for residents. If people start constructing standard bases, not being aware of the techniques we use, it will have a negative impact on everyone who visits the city because it won't load as well.

Plus there's enough room for 170+ people to claim their own apartments, which they can build inside of, and "free building" systems all around this one. So there's no shortage of available space for people to construct whatever they want... I mean... it's a very big game. Just not in this system.

But tbh it's very rarely an issue. We have quite a few colonies where we ask people not to upload new bases. And when it is an issue, it's usually not people trying to do anything disruptive, just people who don't know any better.

That's a great idea, I'll try that! Thanks traveler

Nope. Still trying to figure it out lol, feel bad for the guy who is locked out.

Yeah I used them for a cheap randomizer circuit. So I had 2 Bytebeats putting out a total of 8 possible signals, corresponding to 8 possible numbers, plus another Bytebeat set at a different BPM which would put out signals which would interrupt / block the main signals. So the numbers would always scroll through 1 - 8, but on one passthrough it might block 4, on the next passthrough it might block 7... I thought that was a smart and low-part-count pseudo-randomizer. But alas, it doesn't work when I'm offline - people report that it either puts out no numbers, or repeatedly puts out the same number.

One important consideration, since these casinos are meant to be utilized in multiplayer settings, is that I would want to use the smallest number of possible parts to reduce lag and rendering issues.

It may be a little while before I start the next casino, but when that day comes, I would absolutely love to have your help and would be happy for you to feature the process on your Youtube channel. Which could, in turn, be shared with the Galactic Hub community - mutual promotion is always a good thing!

Oooh I'll have to try that. The lack of diodes has been a major stumbling block for me especially when it comes to making displays and such.

Civilized space is a whole game on top of the game. The metagame. 👀 Next time your attention comes back around, you should check it out - maybe the city will be open by then

I think it's a helpful submission. If you didn't know, you won't be the only one who doesn't know. Thanks traveler!

Thanks traveler! This edition of the casino is super light on logic, since we're trying to build a full-scale city I want minimal impacts on rendering. But I do plan on building future locations of Caesarus's Palace on different worlds. For those, I'd love help with any sort of logic circuit which could be used as a randomizer, scrolling light, or anything which you can find a gambling-related application for. It can't rely on Bytebeats though; I tried that before, and it seems to only work reliably when I'm in the session. When I'm offline, the machines tend to break.

I used to be big into Redstone in Minecraft, so I would get super into logic in Minecraft, if only HG would give us a diode... my brain, so far, doesn't like to build complex things in a fun way without diodes.
