Well, I screwed something up and was giving our French City a ton of clicks. I fixed the problem but it will not be full power until Tomorrow. I was wondering why the French town had almost 2000 pop and kjs-corner was growing so quick and we were going down. I had the big link exchange pointing at the French site.

This thing is called Miniville and it works real well.

My guess is that by the end of today we should be close to 5000 pop and 150 in the Rankings. No Super Skyscrapers though. I looked at a bunch of the 5000 pop cities and no super skyscrapers. The Link Exchanges rarely do /com and I am convinced that is tied to the super skyscrapers somehow.

I looked, I found one at around 7600 pop.... Around 100+ ranking, I think.

You can get Supers with no values whatsoever, other than population. No worries there.
Though, at the earliest seems to be around 8000... (give or take a hundred or two).

Then again, what exactly "com" is doing is anyone's guess...
Presumable like "industry", with less pollution, but with more... somethings?


EDIT:
Given the name and the current values, if nothing other than "pop" changes, it will take slightly longer... 12K+. Next weekend.

I'd concentrate on population, as TheHelper Town will see its first Big Ben at 12862 population, regardless of any commerce. Good luck.

So my theory is shattered eh? Well, all the exchanges work on pop and industry so I am leaving all my links as com so I can get an idea of how much is coming through my forum post signatures and stuff.

Then you are not a clicker. A clicker is someone who just clicks the link - just curious wth is this link on this guys signature. By limiting that variable to my signature and direct promotion techniques I can get a real good idea how much exposure I am getting - kind of like a hit counter in a way.

Cause I am digging watching the daily amounts on /com while its set up like this. Super Skyscrapers will come when they come.

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
