You are correct about making sure to exclude placing food in the original stockpile; the colonists are generally going to throw it to the closest one . As you get later into the game you will find yourself refining the stockpiles down to more specific groups. But early on the ideal stockpiles would be:
-Refrigerated…

You are underestimating the importance of a good cook.
When doing the 3-man start:
-At least 2 people need to be able to shoot
-1 decent cook capable of learning more (the fire logo next to their stat means they are willing to learn more. If they dont have that the stat is locked, essentially.) If the cook is the one…

These are all so important I cant beleive none of them are in the initial article. But I think he wanted us to debate the strategies for ourselves.

Just make sure you get Geothermal or something going, those Hydroponics alonside the Sunlamp required suck up a ton of juice. If you lose power to them, the plants die fast. Solar flares are a big hazard.

It is nice because you can make walls around ventilation leading to outdoors without accidentally getting a roof. Great when you worry about people just cutting in through the refrigerator room.

Last night I continued a good round that has been lasting about a week with few serious hitches going unsolved (I thank the pirates that brought sniper rifles and then failed to use them when they walked point blank into a turret together; those guns worked great against the crashed mechanoid ship. Thanks bro’s)
Anyway…

Since this is Adequate Man, I was already laughing at the headline before I read the article assuming whats coming next. To my surprise you did not mention the terrifying effects that can ensue if you don’t wash your hands when not using gloves ...moments before using the washroom. Back in my old kitchen days, a few…

My inner Captain Obvious/Oblivious to Sarcasm is triggering so hard right now. It’s almost as bad as the time I saw the “What if Zelda was a girl” T-shirt.

Almost every game's patch notes comes with a refreshing batch of hate-mail. The less I participate in game related forums where a community is in contact with devs, the more I tend to enjoy games. I also find this interesting because from time to time there will be an article "internet blows up over _____ game…

WWII, Italy’s farm infrastructure was devastated. After the war the leftover tanks/hardware/scraps are strewn about. Lamborghini (the person) started a business of building tractors from the scraps to help the farms get back on their feet. Then something something luxury cars happened.
[I somehow had to re-write this…

They started by making tractors.
To keep the story short, after WWII Italy’s farming infrastructure was laid to waste and there where military vehicle scraps all over the place. Lamborghini (the person) made a business of converting all the leftover military hardware into useful tractors to get the country back on…

You would be right, its marked as passive.

I have actually gone through the mental process of weighing out pros and cons of taking a French class and your summary is pretty much exactly how I worked out whether it was worth it.
I realize it would probably be worthless.

Was on the trans-Canada in a rental car in BC. By friend was driving and eventually it became night time. We had headlights but they kept fading out or not going far, my friend made an attempt to get light by turning on the highbeams (we didn’t want blast high-beams that but that seamed the only choice) but they…

People that don’t use push to talk also apparently eat endless wet foods, have a breathing disorder, and all own mechanical keyboards. It drives me insane.

and civ 4 came out in 2005.... 11 years ago... I recall playing since CivII.
Still cant resist that next turn.

you get its value in credits. Which is pretty ok, I am already buying up nicer skins because of some crappy spray paints I already have.

Just released an album in fact.

This is me finding out Civ5 is 6 years old.
