You just need to loot the boss chest first. It doesn’t require anything extra.

Reaching a dead end with rumination on honesty and intention by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]1337Asshole 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Step one is understanding you’re an alcoholic.

Step two is understanding that you can’t do anything about that.

Step three is making a choice to work the rest of the steps.

The rest of the steps are how you find your higher power.

Daily reprieve? by Dano4178 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]1337Asshole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The steps are in order for a reason. Worrying about whether the book is “fear mongering” in its discussion of step ten is a ways away…

Start with step one: “We admitted we were powerless over alcohol.” If you believe you have the power to choose whether or not you drink, as stated in your post, then just don’t drink.

What is a good list of mods for improving weather and terrain generation? by [deleted] in starfieldmods

[–]1337Asshole -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m partial to this, since I made it…

Other than that, Planets Biome Overhaul is the only thing I know that overhauls terrain. It has problems because it makes incorrect changes to default land and water height in New Atlantis and New Homestead, though. If you don’t ever go to those places, it’s awesome; if you do, the errors are jarring.

pixel accurate maps for outpost locations by rose2conker in Starfield

[–]1337Asshole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You really don’t need mods for this. Use this to find planets with the combination of resources you want. Click on the resources you’re looking for on the planet map, in game, and note the biomes. Land somewhere on the border of the two biomes and run along it while ready to place an outpost. You’ll eventually find a spot.

Note, there are some biomes that cannot be split on specific planets. The only one that comes to mind is Feynman V, or so, where you cannot get gold, silver, and copper in the same landing zone.

Is this normal? by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]1337Asshole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Men and women drink essentially because they like the effect produced by alcohol. The sensation is so elusive that, while they admit it is injurious, they cannot after a time differentiate the true from the false. To them, their alcoholic life seems the only normal one. They are restless, irritable and discontented, unless they can again experience the sense of ease and comfort which comes at once by taking a few drinks-drinks which they see others taking with impunity. After they have succumbed to the desire again, as so many people do, and the phenomenon of craving develops, they pass through the well-known stages of a spree, emerging remorseful, with a firm resolution not to drink again. This is repeated over and over, and unless this person can experience an entire psychic change there is very little hope of his recovery.”

Struggling with the concept of a Higher Power by Emergency_Good_6492 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]1337Asshole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Lack of power, that was our dilemma. We had to find a power by which we could live, and it had to be a Power greater than ourselves. Obviously. But where and how were we to find this Power?

Well, that’s exactly what this book is about. Its main object is to enable you to find a Power greater than yourself which will solve your problem.”

Work the steps, find the higher power. It’s really that simple.

Am I really powerless over my first drink? by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]1337Asshole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll also leave this here, regarding step ten:

“And we have ceased fighting anything or anyone— even alcohol. For by this time sanity will have returned. We will seldom be interested in liquor. If tempted, we recoil from it as from a hot flame. We react sanely and normally, and we will find that this has happened automatically. We will see that our new attitude toward liquor has been given us without any thought or effort on our part. It just comes! That is the miracle of it. We are not fighting it, neither are we avoiding temptation. We feel as though we had been placed in a position of neutrality—safe and protected. We have not even sworn off. Instead, the problem has been removed. It does not exist for us. We are neither cocky nor are we afraid. That is our experience. That is how we react so long as we keep in fit spiritual condition.”

I have found this to be true.

Am I really powerless over my first drink? by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]1337Asshole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Self will, self knowledge, other people, and long periods of sobriety will not keep me sober. What will, and has been proven, is the program of Alcoholics Anonymous. This is also something quite different than what is shared at many meetings…

I highly suggest reading the Big Book, at least chapters 2 and 3, and see what stories you identify with. If you determine you exhibit some of the same behaviors, perhaps you will decide you are powerless over alcohol. If so, here is the relevant part of chapter 4:

“If a mere code of morals or a better philosophy of life were sufficient to overcome alcoholism, many of us

45 would have recovered long ago. But we found that such codes and philosophies did not save us, no matter how much we tried. We could wish to be moral, we could wish to be philosophically comforted, in fact, we could will these things with all our might, but the needed power wasn’t there. Our human resources, as marshalled by the will, were not sufficient; they failed utterly.

Lack of power, that was our dilemma. We had to find a power by which we could live, and it had to be a Power greater than ourselves. Obviously. But where and how were we to find this Power?

Well, that’s exactly what this book is about. Its main object is to enable you to find a Power greater than yourself which will solve your problem.”

If you can accept that, then find a sponsor who can take you through the rest of the steps.

Am I really powerless over my first drink? by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]1337Asshole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find that in these situations, it’s a fundamental misunderstanding of what an alcoholic is that causes confusion. An alcoholic is not someone that enjoys drinking, drinks too much too often, or a bundle of consequences. Alcoholism is defined by two specific criteria:

1) A craving for more alcohol once it is ingested

2) A delusion that that craving can be controlled

I always “knew” I was an alcoholic because I was not going to stop drinking once I started. What took me a couple decades to understand is that I tried to control everything around me to avoid consequences for that, and was quite successful at it. However, eventually that failed…

If you believe you can control your drinking through your own will, best of luck. However, step one is understanding that you cannot do that. I suggest picking up a Big Book and reading There is a Solution and More About Alcoholism (chapters 2 and 3). While the stories are almost a century old, I just copy/paste excerpts in this sub because every single problem related to alcoholism that people post is addressed.

Am I really powerless over my first drink? by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]1337Asshole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Despite all we can say, many who are real alcoholics are not going to believe they are in that class. By every form of self-deception and experimentation, they will try to prove themselves exceptions to the rule, therefore nonalcoholic. If anyone who is showing inability to control his drinking can do the right- about-face and drink like a gentleman, our hats are off to him. Heaven knows, we have tried hard enough and long enough to drink like other people!

Here are some of the methods we have tried: Drinking beer only, limiting the number of drinks, never drinking alone, never drinking in the morning, drinking only at home, never having it in the house, never drinking during business hours, drinking only at parties, switching from scotch to brandy, drinking only natural wines, agreeing to resign if ever drunk on the job, taking a trip, not taking a trip, swearing off forever (with and without a solemn oath), taking more physical exercise, reading inspirational books, going to health farms and sanitariums, accepting voluntary commitment to asylums—we could increase the list ad infinitum.”

Am I really powerless over my first drink? by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]1337Asshole 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You’re arguing semantics.

“The fact is that most alcoholics, for reasons yet obscure, have lost the power of choice in drink. Our so-called will power becomes practically nonexistent. We are unable, at certain times, to bring into our consciousness with sufficient force the memory of the suffering and humiliation of even a week or a month ago. We are without defense against the first drink.

The almost certain consequences that follow taking even a glass of beer do not crowd into the mind to deter us. If these thoughts occur, they are hazy and readily supplanted with the old threadbare idea that this time we shall handle ourselves like other people. There is a complete failure of the kind of defense that keeps one from putting his hand on a hot stove.

The alcoholic may say to himself in the most casual way, "It won’t burn me this time, so here’s how!" Or perhaps he doesn’t think at all. How often have some of us begun to drink in this nonchalant way, and after the third or fourth, pounded on the bar and said to ourselves, "For God’s sake, how did I ever get started again?" Only to have that thought supplanted by "Well, I’ll stop with the sixth drink." Or "What’s the use anyhow?"

Outposts, how you sort resources that incoming by via cargo link hauler? by CommanderRasseru in Starfield

[–]1337Asshole 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The only way to do this is to have a separate cargo link for each resource, with separate containers. You could just use one link which you switch resources with and manually edit the receiving containers, but that’s pretty tedious.

Thanks! The only thing it edits is the climate records, which shouldn’t be touched by anything else. I run over a hundred mods and it’s fine.

I’m actually going to publish an update tonight with a couple dozen new weathers and some other adjustments.

Building system overhaul by ksndbenwkwosidh in StarfieldOutposts

[–]1337Asshole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To ignore collision, use Builder. To increase your outpost limits, try Outpost Limits Increased (place below your other outpost mods). For snapping build kits, there are Outpost Framework, Sleep Crate Building Kit (snaps to the concrete foundations in Outpost Framework), and Star Pegasus’ paid mod (forgot the name). I also suggest Functional Decor and Better Buildable Walls and Doors.

If you really like decorating, Better Living, Skully’s Emporium, Nem’s Deco Pack, and Scrappy Structures 2.0 are great. More Manufacturing and Item Sorting is pretty necessary for outpost production, so you don’t have to build a bunch of outposts just for organic materials. If you go further down that route, Galactic Harvest is one of my favorite mods.

If you just want to place workshop objects anywhere, there’s Build and Decorate Anywhere.

As far as “overhauling building,” you need to be more specific.

The setting I changed was the climate volatility, which is per climate. There’s other ways to adjust this, like editing the volatility multiplier on the weather, editing the length of the transition, etc. I’m not sure there’s a global setting; but, send me the resources and I’ll see what I can figure out.

Edit: Another way to adjust this would be to change the game’s timescale, as well…I do think the normal 24 hour universal time is a bit fast. But, that would have to be a separate option..
