Noticeable changes in lake light can be seen from "certain vantage points"?

What do you think? Is doing pellet runs more interesting in the slightest? Or is this old news?

Well RAWA's been saying they do do something for a while, but now he's actually given a good answer that satisfies most questions. He checks the figure daily and updates an algorithm that determines how much progress has been made towards a healthier lake. Due to the whole No-DRC thing in Cavern, the updates by DRC staff are not happening.

It's heartening for those who have spent a great deal of time baking pellets, I suppose.

The texture of the far lake edge is slightly brighter, someone found the two images on the Moul forum, but thats all, it took 85,000,000 pellets at what OHB calculated to be 30 years in manhours to do that. So don't hold your breath.

The point of RAWA's post to address this kind of persistent misinformation seems to have been lost on you. If this kind of logic about total "calories" given to the lake applied to real life, Earth would be a fireball - no, a burned out cinder - in space because of the 4.5 billion years of full-spectrum pummeling it has received from the Sun. And you would be a bloated 10,000-pound human being from all the food you've eaten over your lifetime.

Also, you folks don't even seem to have considered that the current "total" you've found includes only MOULa. You're a bit short.

Actually we have. But you weren't in that discussion.

It's a question of game design, not ecology. Why is it a good idea to require that much effort for that little payoff?

And this is supposed to be a good thing?

Now, if somebody is suggesting that the only thing we add to the lake is calories, we have one heek of a problem. That would mean that we'd need ever increasing constant supplies to feed a growing population and to remove waste.

I would hope that it is a self sustaining, more or less closed eco system, that is slowly recuperating, here.
