Teh Pizza Lady

GASP you mean.... people would just lie on the internet???

just make two forges #fivehead

"to justify the elk. Their words not mine." You, uh... got a quote there buddy? A linky link? Something other than "their words not mine" Spears got nerfed because previously the best spear you could make was bronze-tier without mods. It made sense that the bronze tier would be more powerful than it's other projectile counterparts as an alternative to bow/arrow if chickens and therefore feathers weren't readily available. Bearing in mind, you cannot stack spears, but you CAN stack arrows, carrying 10 spears as you suggest means 10 inventory slots that cannot be taken up by other things. By my last count, the most the player can carry at any time is 43 stacks of anything if you count the off-hand slot and any items you can old there as a "stack". I am referring to anything that takes up an inventory slots as a stack even if you can only carry one of said item in a slot at a time. If you are carrying 10 spears, then that lowers you to 33 slots that you can use for actual inventory, even less if you use specialized bags, such as the mining bag which take up a backpack slot. All this boils down to is that spears, due to their limited capacity to be carried had to be more powerful to be a viable weapon choice. Prior to this update, the best spear you could carry was again, bronze which allowed for later weapon tiers (iron and steel) to eclipse it in damage with the Falx and/or blackguard blade for melee, and the bow and arrow for ranged. The addition of iron and steel spears, of course, means that they will once again be more powerful than their same-tier counterparts. The developers probably couldn't see a need for the falx/bg blade and arrows at iron tier or the falx and arrows at steel tier so they just nerfed the spears to deal less damage overall to keep the other weapon types competitive and still viable for any situation. The spear is a weird weapon because it doubles as both a melee and ranged weapon that you can't stack in your inventory. I think these changes are pretty well balanced. you are of course free to disagree, but I would caution you in the future to provide links and sources to things you claim as fact that cannot easily be looked up on the wiki.

The problem isn't even with the governments, but rather with what people are using said apps for. In line with what I replied to Vexxvididu (that's a fun username to type!), the reason Steam doesn't have to do more than pull up a prompt requiring you to enter your date of birth (which can be faked, btw), is that people aren't using steam to contact minors for nefarious purposes, like they are using Discord. In fact, I cannot recall the last time I actually had a conversation with someone via Steam, but maybe it's time to switch...

I was just thinking of this mod when reading the post. Yes.

just getting ideas for my mod Expanded Stomach... eating too many shrooms might have adverse affects on the player... . //media.invisioncic.com/r268468/emoticons/wink.png

so what you're saying is that in order to lose weight I just need to eat a bunch of shrooms. By the time I come down off my trip I'll be a few pounds lighter from having voided the contents of my stomach several times over?

to be fair, it's just as easy for the boars to hunt you.

Funny you mention that... the team was heavily inspired by that mod for a lot of the features you see in this game.

Children... it's okay. Tyron loves you all equally... Some people need in-your-face feedback about things. Other's enjoy the challenge of having to seek out the same information and the consequences of ignoring it. The news thread isn't really the place to bicker about it.

I think it is supposed to be the amount of damage it deals in a single hit. From what I've seen in screenshots, you can have the weapon deal more damage, or last longer before needing to be replaced, but not both.

I would argue that it wasn't needed, but the fact remains that once you spend enough time in IT support, you stop telling people to use cmd/powershell/terminal commands and just point them to the program that does it all for them. And for what it's worth, CCleaner running as a service is not inherently a bad thing as it does monitor your system for things like outdated drivers, disk clutter, and the like. I've been using it for a couple of years now and highly recommend it to everyone who wants to maximize their hard drive space.

Probably to keep other weapons relevant. I didn't see them buffing the falx and bow+arrows to compensate I'm sure they had this exact case in mind when making ice melt in temperatures above freezing... you know like it does IRL. I looked at the promised mechanical power changes and I see nothing that points to or indicates that any builds of mine would be ruined. Granted I usually power a few things off a single windmill, but I've never geared it up to the point where friction between the wood pieces would cause them to catch fire. You should watch Primitive Technology and tell me how he starts fires using nothing but two wooden sticks. Everything here is consistent with how Anego has been directing their game. We all knew this was coming long before the other games started development, it was just a matter of when. You'd have to be pretty far under a rock to think they wouldn't rug-pull game mechanics like this... looking at YOU, poultices!

It's always faster to swap to your side arm than it is to reload your current weapon.

yeah you're probably going to have to create a new world. Any worldgen updates will invariably break existing worlds. That's just how it goes. But if you want to try it and see, you should create a backup of your world first and go see how it looks/works.

easier? sure. But given that OP couldn't figure out that a gaming laptop would run hot while gaming and that while running hot, it would be slow, then I wager that a powershell command isn't for them. Not being mean, just stating facts. That's why they came here to the forums seeking help. The number of people who get scared when they see the box with text and don't know what went wrong when they mistype a command is too high for me to bother with that. If you want, to go ahead, but you'll argue yourself blue in the face if you think you can get me to admit I did anything wrong here. I tailored my response for my audience, not for you.

Yes, but tell me how many people know PowerShell exists, how to start it, etc and what command to type vs visiting a link and downloading a software program that does it for them? I know it's native to windows, but 9/10 times when I tell someone to pop open the command prompt to type a command, they look real nervous and say they'll just take it to a computer technician.

Download Speccy from CCleaner https://www.ccleaner.com/speccy When it runs, click the storage option and collapse all the entries. You want to see the drive clearly marked as an SSD. See my example here:

Yeah, given that some story locations are several thousand blocks away, if you never eat, you'll never make it there before you die.

Thermal throttling and disk usage lock... which shouldn't be a thing unless the laptop still has a HDD instead of SSD...which I didn't think possible in 2022 when that laptop was originally launched. Crack it open and confirm it has an SSD and also dust it out/redo the thermal paste on the heat sinks. I had an old laptop that ran HOT all the time until I replaced the thermal paste and blew all the dust out and it has ran fine ever since. The keyword here, folks, is Acer Nitro 5 an517-55 gaming laptop. Any issues will center around its own performance.

Black bronze is so hard to get because what it requires to smelt it can be more easily obtained after progressing to Iron tech. It's only there to reward you with a better bronze for using any lucky gold nugget finds from panning, pretty sure, but otherwise, you're stuck at waiting until Iron to mine out the quartz veins for their gold.

Do replies work, too?

A friend of mine is saying that she cannot post on the forums right now after the migration. I'm just writing this to see if I'm affected, too. you can safely ignore it. or don't. I'm not your mom, just teh pizza lady.

oh yeah that's definitely one of those that requires you to pop in and out of the past/present multiple times to just see how it changes and where you can go. Gotta time those swaps in mid air and keep your glider on in case you miss. EDIT: IT's very tricky, but it's one of the challenges of climbing the tower. It has to be hard otherwise you would find it too easy and not worth the boring climb.

never had an issue with it that couldn't be solved by using my eyes to see the differences between past and present and wearing a glider to ensure falls weren't... deadly. 200 viewers couldn't figure it out? some of them were trolling you.
