Maybe take it easy on the tequila, @PaleSoul. That was a joke, BTW. In case I have to say it.

You can catch one. Doesn't look like it can be domesticated in any reasonable amount of time, though I'm a bad judge of that. I'm still thinking he's not that expensive, and choose to skip that whole training rigamarole.

That's one option, @Murklak. Another is just to choose a different route. If you are paying attention, it's not that hard to maintain a constant sprint, though it does mean you go around badlands rather than through them. In 1.21, it seems even easier. The terrain is quite a bit more forgiving. Even if you have gravity on dirt.

Why? [EDIT] So this isn't just taken as some glib retort, a real torch gives about an hour of really good light and a crapton of smoke. Do you oppose the extended life of torches, as well as the very real risk of asphyxiation from the use of torches in, for example, caves or mines, let alone in cellars? [EDIT2] Real story. Several of my friends and I were exploring an abandoned mine not too far from home, using mostly candles and tea lights. After a while, we could not figure out why the candles were dimming. In a (probably) divine burst of inspiration, it hit me that not only would they rapidly consume the oxygen, but the lack of oxygen would impair the ability to think clearly, and make it hard for us to figure out what was going on. We all ended up with some serious CO poisoning, and two of us ended up being admitted to the hospital for a couple days after being released from ER. Sorry. Not a huge fan of realism. Not when talking CO poisoning. I really, really don't want to have to deal with that every time I'm mining.

But it wouldn't bug you to have the smoke effect occur inside your base? Even with big honkin' holes in the thatch roof, which is not remotely airtight, the room got smoky enough to drive bugs out, and, I'm sure, contributed to the shorter lifespan of the people. I don't see how it could avoid doing so. And, again, thatched roof, not the much more draft-resistant wood and stone and glass roofs I see all the time in-game.

It used to be good to plant on low fertility, because vine wilting was tied to fertility of the mother block, and once it wilts, that block is no longer a possible growth location. I never did try it with barren soil, because I couldn't find any, but low was definitely better yield than potash-fortified terra preta. Is that still the case? No idea. I rarely bother with pumpkins anymore, because I was being overrun by vastly easier to grow crops.

Welcome to the forums, @Rähell. Yes, exactly this. Even to the point of retaining the version number of the mod you were using, because quite often, the new version will break something the old version did to your world and you will have Unknown blocks littering the landscape. You should opt into changing the modlist for any existing world. [EDIT] Depending on how the Secret Project and Adventure Mode are implemented, this might become absolutely necessary, not just a good idea.

I'm exactly 100% not immediately using it. First thing I'll do with it is examine the code, and then sandbox it on a virtual machine. Usually, I'm loading one or more other games before that mod gets my approval, and I do not intend to add that mod to that save now, and usually not ever. I'll start a new world with a selection of mods that change the gameplay in some uniform way, rather than muck up this run.

Get a little more time on the clock, and you will likely decide all these things are too easy, even on the hardest settings the game has. You will be seeking out mods not for QoL reasons, but rather to give the experience of a greater challenge. I think smoke and gas physics is a perfectly fine idea. Would make a great mod. For those who want smoke. Incidentally, at the moment, Primitive Survival is the go-to mod for those who want smoked meat. There used to be a really good mod that did just meat curing. You built a regular room and, I think, just "placed" meat on the ceiling. I don't remember specifics, but seems to me you had to soak the firewood. One of those that fell by the wayside when finding enough food to thrive dropped to trivial. You crazy kids and your smoking "herbs". Didn't know smoking meat was a thing. How do you get it lit?

Why build with anything other than packed earth? Do you really need the game to punish you into using better materials? Installing windows? Chiseling stuff? Cooking with a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, meats and grains? Eventually maybe even dairy? Wow. A very common complaint is that it is too grindy. Too much effort to make charcoal is very common. Steel being more trouble than it's worth. (True, IMO.) Having to burn flint for fire clay. Collecting sticks and grass for pit kilns. Heck, even having to wait until full Copper Age to build a quern. You and me both. But I'm not understanding how asphyxiating yourself because you forgot to put out the torches in your home way back in the Stone Age is going to help there.

IMO, this is another suggestion that fails the, "Yes, it would be cool, but would it be fun?" test.

That is a real headscratcher. Seems to me that had Tyron gone with the naming schema he had in place, you would not have *-tinbronze, *-bismuthbronze and *-blackbronze, but rather *-bronze with -tin, -bismuth, and -black variants. Similar with iron and meteoric.

@Echo Weaver, something similar came up a while back and one of the OGs said it was populated at runtime after all the code, including mods, had been loaded. This makes it possible to include modded recipes in the handbook. Honestly, I never looked to confirm, but it makes sense. If so, that means it does not populate the handbook from the JSONs, where you could make an intelligent generalization from wildcards like "knife-*" or from "allowedVariant"s. I believe at present, the rule for bowstaves and querns, hardwood and hard stone, could not be divined, because those key/values are not a part of the blocktype. Would not be hard at all to add, though it means that every time you load the game it would have to play, "Three of these things are like the others," yadda yadda. Getting a full list would be pretty quick, but Knife (any) considerably more involved, particularly if you are committed to supporting mods, and anything with "allowedVariant"s difficult without a serious rewrite. [EDIT] What I'm saying is @hstone32 suggests is reasonably easy to do, though in some cases it might be quite a long list. [EDIT2] It also occurs to me that would be a change from typical hover behavior, which is, "Tell me what this thing is." Depending on where that is coded, it might not be as easy as it seems at first blush. It would be a special hover that applies only(?) in the handbook.

It's either the top weapon in Doom/Doom][ or it's Biden _____ _____, your choice.

FWIW, StreamDeck is still working flawlessly.

Meh. Being able to populate the Handbook is vastly more important. If both can be accomplished simultaneously, fine, but if not, I'm more that happy with hovering over a recipe for a while.

Yep. Been building for quite a while and on meth after 10/7. (I'm not making a statement here, just noticing...) Anonymous are occasionally on the correct side, whenever the left is not in power. Doubt me? Search for Anonymous posts during BFG.

Run the axle down from the central big gear at the top of your setup. In essence, just move everything over a couple spaces and you will be fine. What you have is geared way too high. It might run with 3 sets of full sails, but I doubt it.

No I use a DAW to do that. My DAW of choice is Studio One, but I'm sure Reaper can do it, though you might not be able to do it batch. I suspect Audacity can do it, too. (I mention the latter two because they are free. They both cover the big 3 OS, Audacity is arguably easier to learn.)

I'm away from a computer with VS, too, but I believe it's "prune", not "purge". That does not clear the map. Or at least it didn't in the past. About all you can do is wipe the entire map and start opening up the blackness again. [EDIT] I don't know for sure, but I suspect you could use one of those waypoint sharing mods to save your waypoints if you do end up clearing the map.

Is it all songs or just one? There is one that is excessively hot. I forget which one. I think it plays in Autumn, but don't quote me on it. I just run all the music through a chain including an expander, compressor, limiter and normalizer, not just VS, but most games, because so much music has been mastered in the loudness wars.

Process still has not changed. Asking in this thread does no good. Look through the thread for details.

I'd be fine with just the default being newly downloaded mods are NOT enabled, at least for games in play. I don't know how many times I've forgotten and the stupid thing loaded the mod and then when I get to new mapgen area, I've got a bunch of blocks that will soon be Unknown.

Define "decently large". I generally don't fight through storms unless I have a hankering to fix a translocator, I instead use a fairly small (4x5, maybe?) platform with mostly exits to do smithing, knapping, clayforming, etc. The smaller you make it, the less likely anything will spawn in there with you, and if it does, it's almost always one of the easy guys anyway. Or take one of the exits, run around to draw them out or despawn them, and get back in. Storms come in waves, so you only have to pay attention 5 or 6 times in the whole storm. (Never counted, TBH. Might vary. A light might have fewer waves than a heavy, for example.) The only goofy thing is that smithing and clayforming are a little tricky with the world moving around like it does, so knapping the next set of axes and spears, or making up parts for the next automation process works out better, provided you saved enough of that to do during storms and didn't waste your perfectly nice days doing that kind of stuff. An alternative, if you saved enough to do during stormy days, is to fence yourself into a tiny space that to my knowledge is completely unspawnable (1.5x1.5x1.5) with access to a few trunks and machines. You can, in complete (I think) safety, squeeze honey, juice berries, cook meals, including pies, that kind of thing. It's just a matter of planning ahead, and more importantly, planning flexibly.

There was no crime in the first place. There might be a tort, but a crime requires a victim, and, whatever else you may say about the State, it was not a victim. [EDIT] This is not just nitpicking. The reason the State gets away with punishing payment processors is because the "justice" system has been perverted, to the thunderous applause of the citizenry. Just say, "for the children" or "fire in a crowded theater" and whatever the State wants to do is OK. Maybe not you. I have no idea. But everyone under about 90 was indoctrinated in State supremacy, and it still has a grip on most.
