Saw above a log above a log, I think. Isn't it in the handbook?

That's almost always my first lantern. It won't stack, though, so at some point, that one stays home and the stack of glass ones goes on tour.

I'm kind of new to compost. First time I looked into it, I was totally underwhelmed. How much rot do you get from hides? Enough to make them worthwhile lugging back?

True. In more remote areas, I like to leave the wolves alone until August or so. Pretty common to get a couple from them.

Remember, they can spawn within 25 tiles (IIRC) of a rift. A 50 tile diameter is pretty honkin' big. Heck, even 25 is greater than wolf or bear detection range.

No, I meant 4 blocks for the quern, not 5.

Welcome to the forums, @KnewOne Personally, I'd rather have a button that cycled through "cascade", "tiled" and "default". Mostly I'd leave it set to default, but as the game progresses, trunks, especially, having more than 6 open at any time is a problem on default. Would be nice if I could cascade them, click on the title bar of the one named "Machinery", transfer what I want to inventory, click on the bar titled "Ingots", transfer, etc. An even better feature would be if double click on a chest opened all chests in range and in view, rather than making me hold down Alt and click on each one individually.

Glacier ice does not melt at present. You can use it for windows or even making greenhouses.

And 4 hard stone blocks, right, @Maelstrom?

You start with a pond and fill in all the boxes that you want to become greenhouse.

It's been posted several times but... Tedious health meters in survival games Plus, the easy way of fixing things when your meters go crazy is to jump off a cliff, or go for a swim and "forget" to surface to take a breath or challenge a grizzly to arm wrestle. But if you are going to lose some boon you've built up, might want to rethink that. Thing is, nutrition already has buffs. You hardly need a debuff for scurvy, unless you are actually a camp mom who is in charge of cooking and crafting and has no need of HP, or whatever. If 2.5 HP isn't enough incentive, I'd rather see the buff increased than a debuff added, if that makes sense. Otherwise, survival game logic creeps in and it's better to respawn than try to fix it. [EDIT] Making poultices heal over time was another solution in search of a problem, IMO. When you get to the first boss battle, you can't simply retreat to give your bandages time to do their work. A solution that was more realistic, yes, but which drastically affected the dynamics of the game design itself.

Looking for Group? I loved that webcomic. Ended a bit abruptly for my tastes, but alas, all good things etc.

I'm the wrong one to ask. I have never in my life made a hunter's backpack. I've always skipped straight from baskets to linen sacks.

The other bonus is that winter doesn't last as long on 9-day months. You don't need nearly as much food stashed.

I rarely turn them into pelts. Only if I have no other source of warm clothes. Fat is too valuable to use that way. They get turned into leather. At least until I start throwing them away and letting them despawn.

My guess is that you either did not install .NET7, or it didn't install properly. That's how OpenTK talks to OpenGL Did you follow the instructions on the download page?

One of my favorite features of Dana Tweaks. I don't know about drastic changes to AI -- making them more challenging that way will overwhelm most new players, and a not insignificant fraction of the player base in general. That's one reason that I think the new guys are a huge improvement -- combined arms, each of which is not too much on its own, but in concert can be quite dangerous. [EDIT] How about setting the rifts to invisible? Popping in from some other dimension is only a problem if its in some way tied to the physical presence of a rift, right? So not being able to see it...?

Very cool idea. How would you work localizations?

Not even sure that's the reason. But if you could just go out and slap down a 5x5 fence around the rift and pick the buggers off as they emerge through the rift, that's a whole 'nother level of cheese. I get that you want something that seems more realistic, @Josiah Gibbonson. I agree to some extent. I just think that making spawning more controllable is going the wrong direction if one wants to retain any of the horror. As jaded as I am over them now, I remember huddling in the dark after I ran out of firewood, in a tiny mud hut that first night, absolutely convinced that they were going to break through the walls at any moment. While slowly starving to death. Changing things to take that experience away from new players is nothing I support.

Because things that go bump in the night go bump in the... night?

Wouldn't spawning mechanics that you could exploit to make yourself more or less immune to the eldritch reduce the horror? Like you said, how are they spawning in my basement!?!?!?! The fact you can't secure your homestead until you construct the rift ward is a feature, not a bug.

Right. I was speaking of a single plant. I can figure out tiling on my own. You are saying to make a square grid of dirt, kind of like a screen? They will send shoots only to blocks in cardinal directions? Have you noticed if it makes any difference if you don't have all 3 exits from a given block available? Could you just run a single row of dirt to make it spread in a line, instead of snaking around back on itself? Or is this an "adapt the environment as it grows" kind of strategy? [EDIT] Oh, wait. Rereading that again, I think I maybe misunderstood. You are saying that you should essentially have a flat field of dirt, with only the one water tile and the one farmland tile?

Doesn't hurt to top them up as they go, too. Well, it's a waste of potash, so don't do that, but it's easy to end up with stacks and stacks of bones and saltpetre. Might as well improve the growth speed of your onions and parsnips, at the very least..

Ran into something similar with vanilla buckets. Even though they had the same idem code, and were all empty, some just would not stack with others. If I had to guess, it was some of them were 1.20.4, some 1.20.6, some 1.20.7.

There is a quicker way to do what @Brady_The is saying. Just search your mod folder for "potingredients.json". Since you are using Windows, when you look for it, make sure that the "Zipped Files" is checked in Advanced Options.
