Maelstrom

My first lantern is always molybdechalkos with a gold plate liner. After that copper. And I make a ton of them once I'm making iron/steel tools and armor. Since I make so many I'd rather only hit up one mine for resources than two or three. Why so many? I'll take a stack with me into caves instead of torches since they light up a larger area.

First of all you're wrong. I made no comments about anything beyond this thread as a place to show appreciation for the devs and VS. You have conflated my comments with the broader tiff. I've been very busy IRL and only duck in here maybe once a day; thereby I'm pretty ignorant of the general posting of everyone. To my knowledge this is the only thread I've bothered posting in and aside from maybe 2 others the only one I've even opened to read. If my comments in this thread are so divisive I'm pretty sure I'd have gotten a warning from Tyron or other moderators.

Whataboutism. The author of this thread did nothing of which you speak of. If you have a problem with those supporting this game shutting down those that they oppose perhaps you should address it in the threads where that happens. There's plenty of threads for the ones who oppose the author of this thread that they don't need to pollute this thread with their anger (rightful or not).

And another Vintage life video on iron

This guy reminded me of a certain game I play once in a while. Don't pay attention to the screenshot, the video is worth the watch.

Author wasn't being toxically positive. Just giving a space for the other side of this thing to voice their thoughts too. Sad that one faction has so much anger that they have to vomit it everywhere.

I know what you mean. I've deleted a dozen or more games from my phone. It's much, much too convenient for games.

At least you had the battle jammies on! You'd have been one shotted and looking at the damage log for what killed you, otherwise. Good job on figuring out a reasonable strategy to dispose of the violent interloper!

I'd suggest making each level 2 blocks between pegs.

I've occasionally been assaulted by a monster during the day during prolonged calm rift activity. But that could be from the Rustbound Magic mod, so I'll just sit in the corner and shut up now thankyouverymuch.

That's real cool. There's an easier way to turn off the power. Install a transmission between the water wheel and where ever the power is transmitted to.

Brevity is the soul of wit! Very well *ahem* witten @Professor Dragon!

Lovecraft is considered the father of eldritch horror. He also generously contributed to the community as it was growing in popularity. So there is little difference between the generic eldritch horror and referencing Lovecraft himself. I hold to my position that not all of Lovecraft/eldritch stories have a hopeless ending. Most do, but not all; and even the ones with a happy ending for the population in general some poor soul gave up his sanity (or even his life) in the process.

You have not read enough Lovecraft. While most of his stories are hopeless there's a good plenty that have happy(ier) endings.

Monster AI/agency has long been discussed. Many think/feel their behavior is very basic being either attack or retreat. The devs have to balance them for those that really like high combat challenge and those that are rather combat phobic. I'd like to see a bit more sophistication to monsters, but not to the point where combat exceeds my pretty bad skills.

That is the changing of seasons. When fall comes those colors will start introducing yellows, oranges and reds.

Good ideas. You're welcome

Pretty much what I thought. Thank you for the confirmation.

Three consecutive firings of the beehive kiln and my refractory bricks are still raw. Kiln shows something like 60+ hours fired. Used firewood and charcoal for the firings and still no bueno and after each firing items still unfired. Does the fuel need to be replenished before it finishes burning? Is there something else I missed? Before you ask; yes, the kiln is constructed correctly and indicated "receiving heat" while firing. Hoping this isn't an alignment to north issue that the cementation furnace once had.

You would have to talk to the owner of that server.

meat/veggie/fruit stew. Then some bread or veggie pie to top of the grains. I also keep a barrel or two of honey (also used to make sulfur/honey poultices).

I don't like the cramping from mashing the alt key. I just make sure I'm in a safe place when I knap enough tool heads to stack 4 for easy use when one breaks in the field. Feel free to admit my way is better.

Or open an inventory or the character stat box.

@Professor Dragon Thank you. Pretty much what my intuition was telling me. BTW - you get the win.

Same with firewood and charcoal. How long does peat take to fire clay?
