It's not like surface spawns are at all an issue by the time you could make a rift ward. They are either a risk-free source of occasional drops, or they are a nuisance that you just design your home around.

Wiki is just a lousy format for a game this interconnected. It's just that everyone thinks in terms of a Wiki, so the answer has to be a wiki. A better answer is just a way to generate an off-line version of the handbook. That would make it possible to include the extra flobbits of whatever mods you use. The Wiki is only an appropriate vehicle for communicating weird details about the vanilla game that are intended to be discovered. I understand that some are not interested in finding out how many blocks away a wild beehive can see flowers, despite the fact you can find out by simply planting a row of flowers and see how many it counts. There are many hives you can figure out without even that. "OK, this one is seeing 5 flowers. How close is the 5th closest flower? How far is the 6th?" So, yeah, those who don't enjoy the process of learning how the world works probably prefer what I consider . And maybe a Wiki serves that end. If you want to know the nitty-gritty details about ore generation, and don't want to look at the code, or don't know how, sure, I suppose.

Right, you said that's what you do, twice. You can do that with a pair of macros. Every time you sleep, press F9 (or whatever) to do your backups, and if you die, click on respawn to reappear in moments, and then press whatever you have assigned to "Crap, I died" that reloads from your backup. It's just so counter to anything that could be used in multiplayer, I doubt it would be implemented. Not without figuring out some way to make sleep work well in multiplayer, anyway. "Respawn, but you have to redo your day's progress" is not only a lot "easier" than "Respawn without your stuff", I can see choosing to go swimming and not resurface being useful in lots of cases. Exploring for resources, for example. If you don't find limestone heading east, die. You don't have to return home, you get back all that time, and you don't have to go get your stuff. Don't want to have to figure out how to recover your stuff from the sawblade? No problem. It never happened.

Most obviously, it would not work with multiplayer, and keeping the gameplay similar is evidently important, or there would be many other things that would probably be different. But give it a try. Use the console commands for save world, backup world, then play for a while, then have it load backup. My sneaking suspicion is that @LadyWYT is correct -- way too slow.

Check the mod Accessibility Tweaks. I don't know whether or not it does this, but it handles scads of other similar effects. Seems to me there are a couple others that adjust graphics settings like that, but AT is the one I'd look at first.

Probably, but not in the direction you are thinking. If you are playing at a latitude where the winter is 5 months long, a default 9 day month of 7.2 hours per month is 36 IRL hours of winter. One would expect winter in a 30 day month to last 36 IRL hours * 30/9 = 120 IRL hours. It's just math. If you are looking to cheese it, just lengthen the calendar to expand the growing season, then as your crops start getting winter-killed, shorten the days per month until it advances the calendar to next spring.

Yeah, but 30 seconds per 100 satiety does not account for it. The Satiety bar has only 1500 pts. That should be a maximum of 15*30s=7.5 IRL minutes of "freedom" from the constraints of hunger. Yet the vid shows more than than 30 IRL minutes. This does happen, and even in default settings, though I think it is more common if you don't use defaults. I just don't know what it is that triggers it.

I usually loose stack boards, generally 3-4 high, and as many stacks as I need, I'll build a "shed" and stack to the ceiling, and I can walk down the rows of stacks looking for the color I want. Y'know, build a lumberyard.

It glitches some when your meal totally fills the bar. Most frequently happens when you tweak your hunger settings. Something non-deault was happening there. You see how slowly the bar is dropping before that? Most likely that's either time slowed (which causes all kinds of glitches) or reduced hunger rate.

I assume you are talking boards, not planks, right? Not getting the problem, though. The game is already letting you stack 4 logs worth of boards in the space of one log. IMO, the game already lets you cram too many resources into too small of a space. If you want a lumberyard, build a lumberyard, rather than stacking it in your dining room.

I'm unaware of any, either. I would not want all the trees to become giants, though. Maybe fertilizing the ground under the seed/sapling? Some of each of the fertilizers blended into tree fertilizer? You put conscious effort into the ones you want to become giant, but it's too ingredient-heavy for a grove.

I've never checked, but I'd assume the patch directory loads before mods, or there would be a much greater chance of breaking things, so a regular old mod would probably overwrite whatever settings the game launcher set. The patch directory is whatever changes you made in the game settings, so don't change that. It will get overwritten when you next load a world. Use it as a guide to help figure out what needs to change in (IIRC) soil.json and forestfloor.json.

Be sure to check the patches directory. The way the game options work is it creates an on-the-fly patch mod. Select gravity for soil, start a game and look at fallingblocks.json

I think that was Wild Farming. Spear and Fang released an updated version.

Also search for sandwich on ModDB. There at least two that I know of.

It's a very cute mod. I like it, though it is a bit OP for my taste. Grapes both last longer than berries and have better satiety. But I don't think you can cook with them. People like it on my server, though with a satiety nerf.

For starters, you are running low on memory. About 2/3 of the way through your load, it starts reporting that all your patches are taking more than a second. What I'm seeing (at least on the set I looked at) is that you requested the game shut down, which might be because it either locked up or you assumed it did. A lot of the warnings you are getting is dependencies that are not needed because you don't use those mods. What specifically is it doing/not doing.

Yes.

I'd go along with all that. Especially because most people don't mod anyway, plus using patch mods, because index. It would be really easy to forget that you already had a patch of that block that would interfere. Makes me kind of wonder why it wasn't coded for key rather than index. Been a while since I was in creative mode, but seems to me like there were somewhere around 9k blocks? Each of which could have its own texture and block/item/entity tweak? Without once worrying about indices?

Sure. But try out just the hammer part of it, leaving all the rest alone. I suspect you will come to realize that a stone hammer simply breaks progression too much. And if you don't think it's OP, you can remove the knapping recipes for all the rest of the items. Or just choose not to use them. And that's before you've added things like milling grain or debarking logs or breaking stone.

Try out Primitive Tools mod. I got the impression that while "realistic" stone age picks and hammers were way OP.

There are several footstep mods. Search for "footsteps" on ModDB. No idea if they have been updated recently, but as I recall, they were not terribly popular. Downloads in the low thousands or fewer, IIRC.

If you write your own mods, and keep them narrowly defined,I don't know of any reason you couldn't use well into the thousands. You could have a mod that makes leafy blocks drop sticks 20% rather than 2%, another that changed branchy leaves from 1 to 1.5 sticks, another that let you collect mushrooms like berries, another that extended the freshness of meat, etc. Those are the kinds of things that are most of the mods on my own server, in fact. Rather than bundling all my tweaks into a single mod, I keep them discrete so they are easy to add or remove. It's when you start fiddling with the code mods that you might run into issues.

This is fun for removing the grind, but it does it way too well. You run out of anything to do at night. Other than maybe using its autopan mode...

I've got the better part of a rack full of Presonus equipment (with some Yamaha, Behringer and a dozen or so smaller audio and MIDI interfaces) so my DAW of choice is Studio 1. Because why not? It integrates seamlessly with my gear, apart from a few knockoff interfaces that I end up having to emulate as a larger device using ASIO4ALL, and S1 is only a few hundred bucks for the full Pro version every couple years. That's on a different machine, though. The one I want to set up now will be almost exclusively gaming, with a switch right next to me between rig and router so I can turn the switch off and be pretty secure, or unplug the RJ-45 and be air-gapped. That's how I set up my recording rig, and it's working out fine. Wait, what? Mine has the crappy GPU on the MB. There are CPUs where that's integrated? Hmm. My GOG library drops from well over 2000 to just under 300 if I filter Linux. Though seeing the list of native Linux games there makes me want to fire up some I have not played in years. Lutris appears to do the trick for the Win-only titles, at least the ones I'm most interested in, though. Thanks!
