Re: Fire Plough still not working on servers

My friend just went through 2 1/2 fire ploughs and we are playing on a ABCEEEEF server. It seems to happen to my friend the most. I am running the server on my machine. Let me know if you need more info.

BTW Installer?

Hey guys, I wanted to start some dialogue around a possible BTW installer. I don't have any experience with this kind of programming and would be involved with the project strictly as a financial backer :) Has anyone attempted this before? I could imagine with the great minds that tend to frequent t...

Re: Embargo Lifted! (Open Early Game Discussion)

Are fires from clay ovens supposed to spread to wood, then to wicker baskets, and then vaporize 2 iron ingots along with the feeble tatters of sanity that I had left? Wicker was already feeling painful to get (at least in my current world) and utilize, now that it functions as a potential atom smash...

Brutality Check (Hard Spoilers)

Hey guys, Hope everyone is doing well! I have been playing the new BTW all weekend but I never made it past basic campfire in around 10-15 runs. I believe it may have just been a lot of bad luck, but the experience was extremely brutal. I am probably missing something vital in the process but wanted...

Hey BTW crew! I hope everyone has been doing great. I stop in every week or so to see what you are all up to, but figured I would drop a line since it is steam sale season. Picked up some of the pop-culture games that I have missed out on through out the last few months; Fallout and Doom being the b...

Re: Is your old Minecraft launcher not working? Fix it here!

This was really helpful. Thank you all. As a note for getting it to work with the MCPatcher, you need to point the original to the regular 1.5.2 jar, and have it output to the folder and jar that you created using the youtube video. It was relatively painless once I figured that out.

Re: Games suitable for kids

Scribblenauts is a great game for kids just learning to spell if you have a little time to help them to being with.

I wanted to get this in before someone blows it for everyone again. I have had a couple things I wanted to share about my playing habits. Bone meal fertilizer; I never use it. This may just be nooby play style or just plain laziness, but I am content to just wait for my crops to grow rather than exp...

I like this a lot! If I am able to assist with their journey back to base, I hope it will encourage my more social friends to play on my HCS server. HCS is my favorite BTW feature but sadly it is a feature that makes co-op play very difficult and has prevented several of my friends from getting in t...

Re: Hardcore Looting

I like the idea, but I have no idea how it would feel. I like just about all the changes that make the game feel more dwarf fortressy. However, this sounds like a complicated matter. Also, FC probably has a simpler solution that will take care of the root issue at some point. Wanted to chime in, hap...

Re: 4.71 Gameplay Balance Discussion Thread (READ RULES OR B

One more game observation that feels funny. The amount of wood that it takes to tan leather feels off. I crammed what felt to be an actual house's worth of oak wood into my cauldron to make my chest-piece. Also, hardcore bouncing + a Steve sized hole in the bedrock can make for an interesting and em...

I was definitely exaggerating with 3 hits. It just feels like that when a horde of zombies shows up for some surprise sex and you start swinging like Helen Keller in a cage fight with Andy Dick.

So far I am really liking the new updates. Work has been brutal and I was a few updates behind. I now have several days of 4.7 under my belt and have come to enjoy the changes. I did not initially embrace the stone tool rework with alacrity, but have now arrived at the fifth stage of grief and it is...

I really like the coal changes and the feeling of needing to go outside to chop fire wood to fuel my pre coal furnaces. It could still be nerfed more in my opinion, but I am thinking along the lines of how happy you are when you find bituminous coal in dwarf fortress, so perhaps this is too brutal f...

Re: 4.62 Balance Observations & Discussion

I was thinking more for fertilizer options, but with that point having been made, I suppose it would not make sense to have 2 types of feces in a game, haha. Then we would have to have a shit organization system, which is really not how I like to spend my computer gaming time.

I resolved the issue. I am not sure if it was just coincidence, but my network IP changed and ports were not being forwarded. This ended up being the problem. Thanks for anyone that attempted to solve the issue and sorry for the inconvenience.
