Welcome to the forums, @Rex Lindsey Is your system up to snuff? Lots of people with the recommended specs have troubles when there are other things running, especially browsers.

Welcome to the forums, @Sha3der Salty´s Manual Scraping

With international commerce, it sometimes takes a while to process. It kind of depends on your credit card company. Most will process within a couple days. How long have you been waiting?

Look at the reply immediately above yours, @Nightless

So I've heard, though protein is almost always my first nutrition bar filled, and it's always with more or less useless bushmeat, with an occasional redmeat or poultry drop from a wolf kill. I'd vastly prefer to escape the tired old trope of the boss fight entirely. Since CRPGs and FPSs came out, it's always been the same old same old. "Oh, look, a boss fight." Hard to believe no one has come up with anything different over the course of 40, 50 years.

No. Saw it in the patch notes a while back, but never checked it out. "Never suffer a bear to live" is my motto.

Sure. That just happens while you are waiting for other things to finish up. Strictly speaking, you don't need any more than a ladder to hang a block in the sky that you can hang a windmill from. But what else are you going to do with all the time? Sleep? I just don't do chiseling, because I suck at it, and don't care to practice something I don't find fun anyway, and my primary build material is whatever is local. Sure, limestone and chert and andesite are great for accents, maybe some design feature of malachite or copper in slate, which I also think looks nice, but the main build material should be local.

The real value of linen sacks is that it makes limestone or chalk almost irrelevant. Yes, if you skip from handbaskets to leather backpacks, finding limestone is a big deal. It's 12 slots, doubling your inventory space. If you build the sacks, it's only another 4 slots. No big deal. Besides, it takes 2 full rotors, 720 fiber, to run a helve hammer. About the same for gambeson, about the same for the boat. The 80 for sacks is more or less round-off error.

Agreed. The OP was complaining about how long it took to achieve those things. If you are OK with playing at a slower pace, then you would just skip the sacks.

That's intentional. Bears despawn after 14 days, regardless of what you do. Wolves, too, IIRC. The reason was to prevent players from essentially removing bear spawns from their worlds by making a zoo.

It never lets you pick them up? As in it never registers it as a drop? Presumably they disappear on a server restart, and the blocks you dug are still missing?

Nice! Didn't know you even had a channel. What do you use to record and edit on Linux? Not that it really matters, I guess. I don't have the gift of gab. Intentionally or not, all my content would be without commentary. [EDIT] BTW, Wanderlust would be just too far from David Bowie.

As carefully as I strip wild crops, yes. I'm pretty sure I'd notice them regenned if I had spent any time in the area. [EDIT] I think it's probably a side-effect of playing without a map. You have to basically commit the area to memory.

I don't play with map, so can't say. I doubt they appear on the default map, though.

Guess I'm the odd one out. Most games I make only 3 handbaskets because I can usually get at least one linen sack on the first day. I think heavy scouting for flax is essential because of all the flax you need for gambeson and sailboat and windmill sails. Everything else can slide some if it has to, but if I don't get a couple stacks of flax into the ground by mid May or so, it's hard to make the rest of the timetables work. On occasion, I find a trader who sells them for one gear, which is great, because you can sell them back for one gear. Though on my server, I allow you to add one more linen and two plates to turn sacks into mining bags.

This was the only way to accomplish many effects via modding (or whatever we called it back then) of Baldur's Gate and BG:TotSC. That would break the verisimilitude for me. What's so special about me that the only place the world changes is where I am?

That kind of reminds me of how when we were in school in the '70s, we were told that within 50 years, an ice sheet would cover New York because of global cooling. That's like next year. That would be a Mickey Spillane twist there, I tell you. No one would expect it.

I like that. It works as expected until it hits a certain depth (probably so deep you can't get to the surface without drowning), and then takes its real form. Or until there are aquatic rusties, it's true form could be the diving hell.

True enough, but like @Irulana says, lanterns are your friend.

If it's in range of the rift ward, yes, it protects. Oh, yes, its all a matter of balancing the parameters. For whatever reason, the default is pretty weak, very like the glider. My sneaking suspicion is that it is always easier to offer a later blueprint to upgrade those devices than it is to nerf them if they prove too powerful. Or it may be that in a few chapters, the rust world starts spitting out nastier dudes, ones that would make it worth having a ward protect at least part of your homestead. It's just too early to know where things like that are headed.

That's not remotely the same thing. That's what the OP wants to replace with something where it is simply turning the clock back in time to before the bad random event happened. That is save scumming. What you are doing, and I think most people probably did, at least if they thought about it, does not undo the bad thing, but rather makes you forge on from there, doing the best you can. Which probably means the first step is recovering your stuff. I don't know whether the command exists. I don't do anything remotely like that. Permadeath is my style. I was taking your word for it, since you said that is how you do it now. I just assumed what you were talking about is it took too long to type all that into the console. In any event, the Wiki is not the greatest place to look. I'm pretty sure it's out of date. Last I looked, it even said it was, right at the top of the page. Check the in-game command book, accessed via .chb Look through the changelogs. See if you think they have been adding a lot of single-player only functionality. I gave an example in the very reply you quoted. Let's say you are looking for limestone or bauxite or olivine, and run east a few days without finding any. So you jump off cliffs until you restart at home, knowing what's to your east, but without having lost any game time or food or healing or durability or anything. Repeat until you find what you are looking for, never losing any calendar days or resources. Easy Mode. Presumably something like creative mode? Would someone who is fine with giving himself a scythe blade have any compunction about giving himself a stack of pie? Besides, on respawn you restart with, say, half satiation. Stand still until the game lets you sleep. Congratulations. You have advanced the calendar so, no, in your solution, it's not "still winter".

@OvrCr011, yours is definitely your machine "protecting" you. I'm not familiar with that exact message, but it's likely something generated by whatever you use to protect you from malware. The resolution will depend on the specific OS, browser and malware tool you use. Welcome to the forums, @SOPPY_MOPPY. What link are you talking about? You are going to the banner at the top of the page, hovering over the "Client Area", click on "Downloads" and logging in? Is the "link" you are talking the one that says something like "Full Installer 1.20.10 for Windows". (I don't remember what it brings up in a Linux boot, and I don't even have a mac.) That takes you back to the Forums?

Their leaves are a little lighter green for the most part. Get somewhere high and look over the countryside. You might get fooled by a light-colored birch, but mostly they are pretty easy to pick out.

But it doesn't do that. It does something closer to the exact opposite. Anytime you want a redo, just jump off a cliff or slap a grizzly. This isn't a penalty. It's an Easy Mode. Look at the same exact mechanism in Stardew Valley. If the day didn't turn out the way you wanted, just reload. In other games, it's called savescumming.

Yes. Singleplayer, not LAN. Just disconnect before you start the game.
