I did read the thread and it seemed that the comment that got the thread going was a reference to the coming age-gating changes. The part that is confusing to me is that people are saying they have difficulty using Discord, but when I look at Matrix, I see a hundred hoops to jump through in order to create an account and get started. And then everything is self-hosted so the availability of servers to join will be limited That's going to be a huge turn-off for a lot of users. I just don't see the benefit of it.

What is the problem with discord? Anego has no nsfw channels or materials on their discord so like... zero users will be affected by the coming changes.

OP never said how tall their windmill was. One set of sails is enough to turn a quern if the windmill is high up enough.

I'll try that with my next salad.

Hunting is already hard enough when you shoot an animal and it doesn't die so you chase it down only to find it met its end to a bear which ate half of it. bows are fine the way they are. LOL

until now, the only use I'd seen for the screw is as a vertical-only shaft for running axles next to things like the pulverizer and helve hammer that require a horizontal input. Everything in this thread is crazy!

YOU FOUND BAUXITE, TOO??? /tableflip

There it is... There's your punishment I mean reward... no... that's not quite right. There's the drawback of getting everything else, you'll be missing one vital thing. In your case it's bauxite. Best of luck.

To be fair, an arctic playthrough is meant to be genuinely challenging. Making those items (or their equivalents) readily available significantly reduces the difficulty, shifting it from "I might actually die" to a minor inconvenience where you simply sift through nearby resources to find alternatives. The core intent, at least in my opinion, of the arctic experience is constant movement and survival pressure until you can reach more temperate regions and secure the resources you need. In other words: Spawn in. Move south. DON'T DIE. I place a lot of emphasis on that last one because dying will invariably respawn you back in the frozen north.

Good idea, but make it cost satiety points the harder a machine is to turn.

/weather setw mediumbreeze you're welcome.

Being able to train corvids would be cool, especially if they are trained to bring you rusty gears.

Yeah, I mean it's not like it's hurting anyone else. Why should they care? I use tgm in Fallout 4 because Preston Garvey sent me to a settlement that's so far south that I was woefully unpreprared for the Legendary deathclaw that ambushed me and got me caught in a 4-way battle between it, a behemoth, high level gunners, and the children of atom. >_< Long story short, I didn't even hesitate once, popped open the console, typed tgm and got the heck out of there! The game is more fun when I can actually play it and not have to spend an hour backtracking because I didn't quicksave every few seconds. (Link to video is worth clicking, I promise)

you can also screen -r /whitelist off and type the command directly into the server. Press CTRL + A; CTRL + D to exit screen when finished.

I forgot about borax!!! I swear if he's already got borax, I'm going to literally stand in a rift and beg Dave for mercy.

Yes, it is! I was part of what was fed to the bears! XD XD

How was I attacking anyone??!??!?!?!??? I was literally just replying to you the same way you replied to him, because I thought I could communicate better with you that way. Bro, chill. I'm just trying to help you out. lmfao

The game is oddly devoid of birds aside from chimkins

It's okay, he'll never get to experience this level of dopamine in this game ever again.

I agree.. and in fact, I've used creative mode to get my stuff back after getting ambushed by a bear that literally JUST spawned on me on my server while I was in the process of killing another bear. I think my blackguard friend and I died a total of 5 times before I said, "Hold on, I'm going to be a Cheaty McCheatyPants for a second", popped into creative (which I use /gm c for the command because typing /gm 2 is going to get me killed one day trying to remember which game mode is creative vs survival) and gathered my stuff before running away to regroup and help tackle the bears. In the end we won, but at the cost of all our saved nutrition. FUN FACT: If your bears are scrawny, feed them a couple times before you kill them and they'll drop lots of bush meat and fat! XD

okay... 1. They were checking to see if anyone else had experienced this issue and what the solution was. 2. You aren't the forum police. If this thread is unhelpful to you, ignore it and move on. I've seen a lot of your comments lately and they come off as overly hostile and that's not the kind of culture we want to have around here. (See no. 7: Keep it kind.) And with that in mind... @OBAMFSpike what WAS the solution?

Calling it now... this is the world where you're going to struggle to find Olivine so you will never have tier 2 refractory bricks. Also all your iron will be Hematite in poor readings and the deposit will actually be 2 chunks away from your best reading. because this totally didn't happen to me in my last playthrough after striking it rich on copper and tin..... I love this game!

I saw that. >_> They're not confusing, they just don't make sense in the context of a video game. Niche uses need to have value over "this is one thing we added for use in a single thing that's not even really that great by the time you get the tech to make it". Not that anything you suggested was like that, but I will always vote in favor of simplicity in this case because the game was designed with mods in mind and because of that, expanding the systems too far limits the creativity mod creators can have when working on adding their own content to the game. We don't have firearms in the game (outside of mods) and they're not exactly period appropriate within the context of the game and its lore, although we do have everything in place to make bullets, gunpowder, and the guns themselves. Granted, adding something like gunmetal, for example, means that there is an additional resource that mod creators can use without having to create their own... so its a give and take process. But I still stand firm in that upgrades need to have impact instead of feeling like a side grade. BTW, can you explain how gunmetal black got its name when gunmetal was typically a gold-colored bronze alloy?

I could concede this as well. Admittedly I did not consider cast iron for things like cookware and stoves and steam engines, so I can see an immediate use for it even though those things aren't implemented into the game. The 4-way cross member that is required for the water wheels is an example of a part that could benefit greatly from casting vs forging. For these things, I'm willing to walk back my stance on "iron is iron, duuhhhh", and I'm confident that Anego could do a good job of making it balanced as well as making the casting process not another grindy slog that I know some people would want it to be... Well it sure seemed like you were. You said: "the creation of the blast furnace could take place of the primary progression jump in terms of tool quality" I was thinking cast iron picks and axes which would never work because the toolheads would break the instant you tried to put them through any real, meaningful work. That's my confusion because you said one thing and then walked it back entirely and basically restated what I said but in different words.

I.... didn't think of that.
