So, I've seen tutorials that say you should distribute food, water, and housing evenly around your settlements so all your beavers can quickly access those resources. However, whenever my beavers get hungry or thirsty, they seem to go to a random food or water source that isn't anywhere close to them.

Despite having small water tanks distributed around my settlement, I've seen my beavers travel to the opposite side of the settlement to get water from a very distant tank, and they ignore the ones right next to them.

If beavers pick resource locations at random, would it make more sense to centralize resources per settlement district?

I was listening to a video about how steam locomotives are fueled and watered, and all the infrastructure involved in the process. But that got me thinking; if a railroad museum wants to run a steam locomotive, do they need all that infrastructure (coaling towers, water towers, sanding towers, ect), or are there other tools/methods that are acceptable for running a steam locomotive?

For example, in the USA, I've seen a front-end loader used for refilling the sand in a steam locomotive's sand dome.

So, I have a laptop where I'm dual-booting Linux Mint and Bliss OS (an Android-x86 fork).

About a year ago, during a Linux Mint update, something broke the bootloader for Bliss OS, and now I can't access my Bliss operating system. To make matters worse, the Bliss OS team went on "lockdown" around the same time my Bliss OS bootloader was broken. So, I can't reach out to the Bliss OS team for help.

I just need to boot into Bliss OS once, so I can back up everything I have there.

I tried to create a new GRUB entry in Linux Mint with the code provided by Bliss OS's installation guide: https://docs.blissos.org/installation/manual-install-on-linux/

However, the directory of my Bliss OS install is in a different location from where the guide has it. I updated the directory location in the Bliss OS GRUB code, but Bliss OS still wouldn't boot after a restart.

My current theory is that maybe I need to change the file/directory permissions in Linux Mint in order to get GRUB to boot Bliss OS, but I'm not sure which permissions to change exactly.

Here is what my Linux Mint terminal shows for current file and directory permissions:

original1@Mobile-Fortress:~$ ls -l /home/android-2024-06-02/
total 4310704
drwxrwx--x. 51 original1 original1       4096 Jun  3  2025 data

-rw-r--r--   1 root      root      4294967296 Jun 23  2024 system_b.img

Is it a permissions issue, or could it be something else?
