Are you sure it didn't just despawn? Like, did it disappear immediately in front of you, or did you walk away?

Fall damage is inconsistent. How does it work?
Bumber replied to Keven Dallaire's topic in Questions
I think the calculation is based on velocity rather than distance fallen, from what I remember the last time I looked at the code. That was back when I discovered that those spikes you find near locust nests can somehow break your fall and do less damage than hitting the dirt. All sorts of peculiarities with game mechanics. -
There's a command to list waypoints, in case they haven't actually been deleted. There's also a command to teleport to them.

Moving the game, its mods and all the files to a new Windows (to 11)
Bumber replied to kleptomanisch's topic in Questions
My first impression was that this was probably a result of some standard that devs were following, but it turns out they're actually completely misusing it. (I don't get why you assert you'd have more space if they dumped the data somewhere else, though. Do you have different folders on different drives?) The worst abuse is of the "AppData/Roaming" folder. This is for user data to be synced across multiple computers. This is not where you put settings specifically for one computer (e.g., graphics settings). It is absolutely not where you install the program itself! Main software installation belongs in Program Files. It's designed to be read only. If that's an obstacle for updating files, you can put data in ProgramData, which will be shared across all users on the computer. If you need a different version for each user, you can put it in "Appdata/Local". An installation is absolutely not Roaming! Just create a fresh install on the other machine. User configuration files do belong in Roaming! Keybindings? Yes. Saved worlds? Yes. Mods? Debatable. Ideally the zip files go in ProgramData or Local and you just keep a list of them in Roaming (along with the user configs). Screenshots. These are media deliberately created by the user, so they go in My Documents or My Pictures. They're for manually sharing with others.

Does https://mods.vintagestory.at/tabfix work well enough? I've been on hiatus so I haven't had a chance to test it.

There's a mod that gives it a chance to drop based on the remaining nutrients. If it's fully replenished for the quality, it always drops. Another alternative would be to store the nutrients in item data. That might create an issue with item stacks (like pressed fruit), but it's on the player for not waiting.

Tried to post on that video, but Youtube is shadow banning my posts. I spent ~11 hours on it (seriously), and I'm a bit miffed. Edit: Managed to get most of it through in chunks. Pizza bagel pepperoni chunks.

Dead Ops Arcade is a secret top-down shooter contained in the FPS game Call of Duty: Black Ops. The Founding of Durotar bonus campaign is an RPG contained in the RTS game Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. (Complete with WoW-style side quests.) Adventure mode in Super Smash Bros: Melee turns the fighting game into a side-scroller. Kirby games usually have additional modes after you beat the main story, and Kirby Super Star consists entirely of 8 different game modes. Dwarf Fortress has a fortress mode that plays like a colony sim / dungeon keeper, and an adventure mode that's a dungeon crawler roguelike. KeeperRL is the same concept, but with seamless swapping. Edit: Sonic Adventure 2: Battle also has a multiplayer racing game, etc., in it.

Steam is allowing terrible DRM, but nobody could stop Anego from adding Denuvo to VS in a timeline where Tyron dies before the game is done, with or without Steam. The DRM-free list proves there's no hard requirement mandated by Steam. Saying Steam would side with Anego against players widely misses the point. At present, Steam will refund any game -- no questions asked -- within a given time period, even if you bought from a shitty publisher. (AFAIK, Steam doesn't restrict publishers from offering unconditional refunds past that point.) Can Tyron help you refund Battlefield 6? No, just VS. This is the just the eggs in one basket thing I mentioned. Anego has the ability to do this to you individually, subject to local laws. At that point, your only recourse is hoist the Jolly Roger.

I have my kitchen count as a cellar. If it spoils quickly, it's stored there so I don't forget it. If it spoils slowly, fetch a stack from the insulated cellar when you run out. Don't need to worry about the minor difference in spoil time when the food is intended to be eaten ASAP.

Need to flush that out of my head now.

I feel like I'm in the Garden section of Home Depot, or something. (I would expect any bee hives to be purely decorative, though!)

I've been killed by a fox before. Couldn't even hit the thing after it started fighting back.

What actually are you on about? VS isn't DRM free at all. You can't start a singleplayer game without logging in. What would you do if Anego banned you? What if the login servers are down (as happened recently)? Steam leaves the developer the option of whether or not to require login. Many games just let you launch with Steam once to download, then play offline whenever. Some you can even give your game files to a friend and it doesn't know any better. Even pulled titles I think it lets you launch if you already have them? I don't think you can count on Anego's servers outliving Valve's. Valve isn't an indie dev relying on the profit of a single game. The question faced is how many eggs you're willing to risk in a single basket, and how many you're willing to risk being stepped on individually.

What is "pseudo-intellectualism"? The prefix "pseudo" means "false", but clearly you can read these words on your screen, so they are real in a sense. It also implies the existence of a "true" intellectualism, but how does one determine which is which? Some things are falsifiable, while others are simply indeterminable or matters of preference. If things do not fit neatly into true/false boxes, can pseudo-intellectualism really be said to exist? Isn't any discussion inherently valuable? Should one be encouraged to look up or ask a definition for a term they don't understand, or is it not preferable to wax philosophical on what one thinks it means instead? I think a word salad can be a healthy appetizer to any discourse. Edit: Turns out OP already got banned. Oh, well. Edit II: My point is that OP made up his own strawman definition and rambled pointlessly about it.

Don't traders buy them? Edit: Never mind. I was thinking of copper bracelets. There's mods that let you chisel them, I think.

What about meat and dairy? Maybe you can eat them while your satiation is almost full, due to how portions work?
-
Personally, I never want the pause. It's extremely difficult to keep your nutrition categories maxed out because the rest all come from high satiation sources. My current strategy after dying involves sprinting in heavy armor and using the bed a whole lot. I think taking damage might help too. More concerning is that leaving the world and re-entering seems to work. Something's probably not working correctly under the hood there.
