Maethius

Last night I found a small ruin and within it was a ruined boar spear (8.5 damage when thrown!), ruined steel scale armor (60 durability left on it), a ruined weapon (generic military fork), and a ruined double-bladed axe (hits for a stupid amount of damage and will probably break after a few whacks). I am all for repairing a ruined weapon or armor and return it to full or partial use! Why not require the player to heat the proper ingot to white hot and then combine the two items using a logical amount of hammer and anvil durability? There were also the usual things like a metal barrel, ruined globe, and a few other metal bits to find. I think it would also be a good mechanic to add if these items could be chiseled down into their respective blooms and recycled. Again, the player must use the correct chisel (copper, bronze, iron, or steel) and the act would use up appropriate durability. This would add functionality, not just aesthetics, to found scrap items.

It just happened to me again! I have died at least 3 times over the past week while the game was paused and I was viewing the open handbook. It became such a problem that I changed the game over to "keep inventory" mode, or I shut the entire game down if I have to leave my PC for any length of time. Sure, that's great that I get to teleport home, but the food I've gathered has half rotted away while the game was "paused." Any clue how to make pause actually stick?! -edit- Okay, I figured out one part of what's going on. Despite all the posts I've seen about the single player game being paused while reading the survival guide, one thing was left out... it doesn't do it automatically! There is a button labeled "Pause Game" on the top of the manual, and no matter the state of the button, pressed or not pressed, the game resumes playing if you are looking at the manual. You have to open the manual up and click that button again... usually twice, once to un-pause it (because it really isn't paused in the first place) and then to re-pause it. Now I need to ask is there a way to make THAT stick?

Hello! At first the mod seemed to work great! But now I can't seem to carry an item (in this case a crate loaded with boards) on my back. I can carry it in my arms, though.

Yes, I know, read the instructions first! That said, if you accidentally fill the forge with charcoal first, it seems you lose it all. I did this and had to break the forge to empty it... and lost the charcoal. Re-read the instructions. Placed the ingots first (this isn't very intuitive since the ingots end up on TOP of the charcoal anyway, and this is not how the earth kiln works... you pile items logically from the bottom up). Then I attempted to light it with a torch by crouching... and removed my ingots. Can't place them back on, or empty the forge... break the forge, lose a second set of charcoal. Why not use the same mechanic as the campfire with the forge? Build one, right click, add charcoal to the fuel slot, add your ingots to the top slot, and POOF! It lights up exactly the same. Seems like two totally different mechanics for exactly the same result. Still loving the game, but things like that take a touch of the fun out of it when you are just starting off and learning new mechanics.

Just started happening to me, too! I checked the base time and it says: Base Time speed 60 set, 1 day = 8.2 real minutes. Last night 1 day = 40 realm minutes! Now the torches are burning like the end of the world and the sun is streaking across the sky! I'm betting the game will be unplayable in this mode... I'll never make enough progress to survive winter! The time defaults were set to normal on world creation except 1 month = 30 days.

Is there a way to roll back to 1.18? Upgrading to 1.19.1 has apparently destroyed my installation. I attempted to open an old world and it hung up on the loading screen at "... one more gaze." I shut it down and attempted to make a new world and it hung in the same place. I then shut it down again and turned off all mods and attempted to make a brand new world and it crashed immediately to my desktop. I have a sinking feeling about this. Edit: 1/21/2024 Managed to create a new world by shutting off all mods and launching in Repair Mode. Couldn't load any of my prior worlds but without any mods... wouldn't work. Tried creating a new world one mod at a time... hung up but apparently didn't freeze because it kept saying: It pauses. One last gaze... Then all goes quiet... The waters recede... It sighs... It then repeats itself. Edit-edit: It appears the issue is an incompatibility with the BetterRuins mod. Turning on just that mod causes the system to hang again.
