Re: Placing String

I can say that I have never intentionally used a vanilla tripwire for anything, the only use I have gotten out of it is placing the string down for storage in-world along with the other, now-placeable, items

Placing String

I am absolutely loving how now in the early game, many items are now placeable in the world in lieu of chests (axes, sticks, etc.) I have been using this feature quite a bit, but I find that placing after string on a block it is extremely difficult to locate later unless I remember the exact place I...

Multiplayer issue with lighting campfires

reference (starting at 17:00): https://www.twitch.tv/videos/250859201

Eth and I spent a bow drill and multiple fire ploughs trying to light a campfire, with no results (which seems unintended). I don't know if this is just a latency issue with the server we were on, or something with the mod.

So, I see you've been quite busy lately FlowerChild! It has been nearly a year since i've played BTW. I think with all these updates i'm gonna try to install the mod again and see how this goes :) You all have been very good about not spoiling us.

Just spawned into a new world, and holy crap.

So I started up a new world (the seed is 'Potato'), and holy crap, I found diamonds. It seems that a ravine was just below another ravine, making a sheer drop down to the lava layer with diamonds nearly exposed to sunlight. WOW. a picture is worth 1000 words: (the diamonds are hard to see, down and ...

Re: My Summer Car - Hardcore Life Survival Simulator

Bought this game a few hours ago, Looks like something I'd love (and something we'd all love due to shared aspects with BTW) but, alas, It gives me horrible motion sickness... Any tips on how to alleviate that? changing FOV or some setting, perhaps?

Here is a pic showing off my simplistic Windmill Design as well as a good portion of my favorite base.

I had tons of hemp before getting to a stoked cauldron for glue (which only happened recently), so I decided, why not make a vertical windmill for the hell of it!

Aurora, a 4x space game with a complexity comparable to DF

so one of the youtubers I follow started playing this lesser known game:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcWln8Ne1RA

I started playing it, and its is amazing in complexity, it really lends itself towards customization and micromanagement. I highly recommend it!

Did I mention its free?

are pre-wheat pigs worth the cost?

basically, what the title says. is it really worth it to go to the trouble of making chocolate to breed pigs early on instead of sticking with mushroom omelets?

I am currently in full scale chocolate production mode and I feel like it may only be useful if you don't want to expand your mushroom farm
