Welcome to the staging ground for new communities! Each proposal has a description in the "Descriptions" category and a body of questions and answers in "Incubator Q&A". You can ask questions (and get answers, we hope!) right away, and start new proposals.
Are you here to participate in a specific proposal? Click on the proposal tag (with the dark outline) to see only posts about that proposal and not all of the others that are in progress. Tags are at the bottom of each post.

That's true, we could. But then what would you put in the description of `base`?
Right now it's hardly a problem at all. But it seems like it's bound to get worse, if/when the incubator gets more active. (more) |

I actually don't know what happens to the tags in the incubator, when the questions get moved to a new site. Would it be a copy, or a move? Or are tags global to the whole site, and not just one section? (more) |

@#53890 Wait, how's that gonna work? We'd have the same questions duplicated here and there. That seems kind of redundant to me. I thought it was assumed that if something is on topic in one place, it's not in others. (more) |

Another advantage of "webmaster" is that most people will have a pretty good idea of what it means, and if they don't but Google it, they will get relevant results. It is also mentioned in https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2142 (more) |

Well, it used to be that websites were static, and many webmasters were also HTML devs, because given the simplicity of HTML it made little sense to divide labor there. These days, "webapps" seems to be ever growing, and typically "running" the site and building the webapp are very different things. ... (more) |

A: How do I make new cities? The "Make City" tool is not for creating cities. It's more like a palette, where you can pick a few related buildings, and plop them down more efficiently (supposedly) than going to their usual menus. It's more like the quickbar. To create cities/areas (the ones that label the map and are used to ... (more) |

A: Should Steam be on topic for the Video Games site? I think at least some aspects of Steam are already on topic as per the existing proposal, and simple logic/common sense: >Usage of Steam to run games (eg. Proton, updates, compatibility modes, overlay) This would fall under "game utilities". >Using SteamAPI to develop Steam-integrated games ... (more) |

A: How to prevent power outages when rebuilding power lines? A good strategy is building the main power lines in a ring. Suppose you have some power source, like the customs house connection or a power plant, and a single power transformer which will go to your neighborhood.

A: How do I construct my first buildings? The customs houses provide some "foreign workers". These workers are assumed to come from neighboring provinces for temporary work.
