10:17:27 <andythenorth> it's a really special feature :) 10:38:31 *** jottyfan has joined #openttd 10:41:28 <NGC3982> hi guys 10:41:32 <NGC3982> great christmas 10:41:49 <TrueBrain> and same to you! 10:45:52 *** WormnestAndroid has quit IRC 10:55:41 <nielsm> TrueBrain: for the logic of trying to apply ttdpatch to openttd, I could imagine it went something like, "this looks like an old game. old games typically need patching to run on modern systems. I need to check if there are patches. okay I searched for "open ttd patch" and found this ttdpatch. but it doesn't work" 10:55:52 <andythenorth> TTD patch tuesday 10:56:43 <andythenorth> ok so pop quiz: how much yeast is produced per year in the EU 10:56:47 <andythenorth> give or take UK :P 10:56:56 * andythenorth exploring cargos 10:57:14 <nielsm> uh, 200 tonnes maybe 10:58:05 <andythenorth> any more bids? 10:58:28 <NGC3982> 200 tonnes is probably on the low end 10:58:45 <NGC3982> 500 10:58:59 <nielsm> "In USA companies like Lesaffre Group, AB Vista, GB Plange and AB Mauri, produced hundreds of thousands of metric tons of yeast in 2012.[citation needed]" 10:59:08 <andythenorth> it's about 1 million tonnes in Europe 10:59:11 <andythenorth> per year 10:59:25 <andythenorth> key bits of the economy you never see or hear about :P 10:59:54 <nielsm> yeah when I think yeast I think a 50 g cube like this, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Compressed_fresh_yeast_-_1.jpg 11:01:14 <nielsm> and you need a lot of those to reach a million tonnes 11:02:29 <andythenorth> so transport is more like https://live.staticflickr.com/1679/25992760582_551e2d6349_b.jpg 11:11:58 <Rubidium> though a lot of produced yeast is turned into other products, e.g. flavouring. Want a roasted chicken flavour? Just dry some specific yeast and you got a roasted chicken flavour 11:13:26 <NGC3982> jesus christ 11:13:58 <NGC3982> yeah, the industrial usage must be like 90% 11:20:04 <Rubidium> might even be higher... remember they add ethanol to fuel? That (probably) requires a lot of yeast 11:25:55 <Rubidium> ballpark figure for EU usage of ethanol in fuel is ~100 000 million litres of ethanol (https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/dashboards/fuel-quality-article-8) 11:28:05 * andythenorth continues exploring strange cargos 11:30:01 <Rubidium> can't really find how much yeast you need to make a litre of ethanol though... I guess it does not really matter, as long as you have enough time the yeast will convert and procreate 11:30:47 <nielsm> as long as you remove the ethanol as it produces, so you don't kill the yeast with it 11:42:58 <andythenorth> cargo label for yeast? 11:43:00 <andythenorth> YEST? 11:43:03 <andythenorth> YEAS? 11:43:07 <andythenorth> YST_? 11:46:29 <TrueBrain> as the 2 letters have to be somewhat unique to to be useful, YS__ :P 11:47:31 <Rubidium> JIST ;) 12:00:49 <FLHerne> YEAT? 12:01:14 <FLHerne> to make BRED of course 12:02:07 <andythenorth> yair 13:03:36 <nielsm> SACC (from Saccharomyces cerevisiae) 13:03:44 <nielsm> to be obtuse 13:21:02 <Eddi|zuHause> if a product says it contains "citric acid" (which is, almost everything) you can be sure that that doesn't come from actual lemons. it's produced by modified yeast 13:41:52 <andythenorth> more niche chemical chains :) 13:53:49 <nielsm> FLHerne: actually YEST to make BRED, if Yeast makes Bread then Yest makes Bred 14:01:20 <FLHerne> nielsm: but since when has OpenTTD been about consistency 14:01:28 <FLHerne> you're right though 14:04:45 *** WormnestAndroid has joined #openttd 2021-12
