  1. You can already eat walnuts. Just don't aim at the ground when you're using them.
  2. It's the Welchia ethical dilemma all over again, but with demonstrable harm to legit mod devs and players. (Welchia caused some minor network disruptions due to its spread.) It's always ethically dubious when you have to sneak something past your users, despite any good intent. My beef with Anego is that it seems they knew months before we did, but made no attempt to inform us. People wasting time diagnosing Caves and Cliffs crashes, and they sat on it.
  3. Torches provide light as dropped items, IIRC. They'll probably be immediately picked up again, however. Turning off auto pickup won't help if the intention is to use a shield, unfortunately. If you toss them behind the enemy (or fall back), it might be doable. You'll probably be able to fight their silhouette.
  4. It would be neat if animals panicked before a temporal storm. Villages using chickens as an early warning system because they don't have seraphs around.
  5. Even normal humans have better stamina than most animals, due to sweating. Seraphs are probably a moderate improvement over humans. (Skin tone hints at physiological changes.) I'd say it's optional. Predators that never give up to look for easier prey probably end up starving to death. Presumably it's a territorial behavior to begin with, and not full-on rust rabies.
  6. There's also #5217.
  7. But we've got locusts at home caves.
  8. I assume you could build a small dirt shack on top of a lake and fish through the floor?
  9. Haven't played the update, but I suspect it's much the same. Grab whatever berries, mushrooms, bushmeat, etc., I can forage before the farm is set up. I'm not sure I want to stand around fishing. Is it the new nighttime panning?
  10. I'm almost certain some flowers like woad respawn, though the wiki says otherwise. Horsetails spawn on farm tiles.
  11. And we're fresh out of hyper-querns.
  12. Well, considering they aren't good food. Incredibly short spoil times, but you're still only getting ~2 harvests a year. If they were good, they'd be crops.
  13. Internet says the term refers to all wild meat. Any non-domesticated species, such as squirrels (no more a carnivore than chickens). Though there's a distinction of "game meat" which is something that tastes good, like venison and pheasant, versus squirrel and raccoon stew.
  14. Well, considering it's the most boring stat imaginable, and tedious in a multiplayer game.
  15. This is just prevented by not using gates and dirt, however.
  16. IIRC, max room size is 14x14x14. Needs to be fully enclosed with walls/doors.
  17. I don't see why rabbit isn't bushmeat. It's gamey.
  18. Apparently due to the air in the lungs becoming compressed.
  19. A mod is a labor in which you're expected to work for free. Usually they're made for one's personal enjoyment, then shared with others (or there wouldn't be a mod database). You folks say that you'd prefer something made in MS Paint in a few minutes, or a retouched stock photo, but I don't think that's coming from a place of honesty. There's no effort put into any of these, but only one of them seems to invoke a Pavlovian response. (I.e., you've trained yourself to feel ick when you see it.) It's not the lack of effort that makes the image bad. It's because you don't like AI, therefore the AI image must be bad. I think it's different when people are accepting money for things, but generated images are just programmer art of the present day. If someone's art skills are crap, society shouldn't force them to attempt art. It's a waste of everyone's time. (As a perfectionist, I spent hours on school projects, and it still looked like crap at the end. I will not inflict this on future generations.) I'm certainly not going to suggest someone implement their own bug-filled array class just because using std::vector would be lazy. You can expend great effort to produce slop, and anyone encouraging that is doing a disservice. Let the witch hunt begin.
  20. I don't see any issue in using AI to generate images. Art quality is subjective. As long as there's nothing illegal, and it's not generating a bunch of hidden swastikas everywhere. If you're generating code, then we've got a problem. Code can be malicious. If you're publishing code that you don't understand, you're not doing the minimum to protect users. Only ask the AI for advice, then be sure you can verify what it tells you.

  22. You say you are clockmaker, but I see no clock. Curious.
  23. I forgot about the growth cycle changes. Considering berries spoil extremely fast, doesn't that seem like a serious issue? Especially since wild fruit trees were fixed to generate full sized? It feels like the nutrients should be returned to the soil if the berries aren't harvested. Granted it's only for planted cuttings, so it's not like they're ever going unharvested unless they're decorative. (Which mine have been, though I do harvest just so the raccoons don't damage the bushes. Maybe I'll just turn the berries into compost.)
  24. Me with my 8 GB and an HDD, running poorly by default so I don't notice the difference.
