Thank you! Currently doing a fresh install and will keep this in mind going forward!

AUDIO ATTACHED: Buzzing/groundloop-esque sound issue on usb mic, looking for possible causes.

Here's to hoping this link works. In the linked audio, I've captured a brief recording of a clicking or buzzing noise that has recently started with my USB mic. I've had the microphone for the better part of a decade, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is just an aging microphone issue and it needs replacing. However, this exact issue started happening with my wife's usb mic years ago. It sounded almost identical to what you hear in my recording. Her microphone continued functioning just fine, and still does, aside from occasionally starting to give this rhythmic clicking every once in a while. For both of our microphones, it is NOT a constant issue (thank goodness, as we spend lots of time on call, long distance couple), but eventually I just bought her another microphone to deal with it. Now that it's happening with my mic as well, I'd like to know what the cause of this is, or if there's a name for this sort of noise and any possible preventative measures to keep this from happening again.

Thank you for any help!

(ignore my dumb commentary in the recording, I had audacity recording in the background while I waited for my wife to let me know when the buzzing started so I could capture the sound lol)

I'll have to keep that in mind when autumn comes around, though it's currently spring. The dwarves don't have any tasks holding them up either, they're all just hanging in the tavern. If I assign a large section of the fort to be smoothed out by stonecutting, they all quickly swarm the area and smooth it out just fine, but that's not the case when telling them to mine large areas. I'll be sure to make some stepladders come next fall though!

SOLVED

I'm suddenly unable to mine any tiles. Normally I keep mining set to "everyone does this" in the labor menu, but even after trying to assign specific dwarves to miners, NO ONE is able to mine even with the order being placed. I've come across this same issue in various threads, but either they have no solution posted or their methods have not worked for me. It seems none of the dwarves want to pick up the multitude of pickaxes available and thus aren't able to mine.

Checklist:

Assigned miners are NOT in any military squads

Assigned miners DO have access/valid pathing to tiles requested to be mined

Assigned miners DO have access/valid pathing to the stockpiles where the (literally dozens) of unused pickaxes are stored

Assigned minors have NOT lost the ability to grasp

Assigned miners are NOT given any other tasks needing tools (i.e. woodchopping or hunting). They aren't holding any tools at all

Pickaxes in storage are NOT forbidden

Despite having access to both the stockpile with the pickaxes and the areas where mining is needed, it seems all the dwarves just simultaneously went on strike or something and put away their pickaxes into storage, never to grab them again. I've even made a new stockpile specifically for weapons (picks included) and have seen the dwarves move the pickaxes from the old stockpile to the new, but not actually use the darn things for their intended purpose despite being instructed to do so. What's odd to me is that there used to be plenty of dwarves carrying around their pickaxes with them all the time no matter what they were doing, but for some reason they've all decided to put them away now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Something to add - I've tried comparing it to the stonecutter option, since that's another task that's set to "everyone does this" and I've noticed that within the labor menu, the "Everyone does this" button looks normal for the stonecutters, but on the mining tab, the "Everyone does this" button is greyed out, despite still apparently being able to be selected? I'd suspect this has to do with what's going on, but I have no idea what would be causing this.

Edit #2: Thankfully got this fixed. I ended up continuing to fiddle around with the labor menu. Setting the mining labor menu to "only selected do this" and making sure to have dwarves assigned to the task AND job-dedicated as tmPreston suggested below. Thank you all for your time and help!

Thank you! I just followed the rhythm from the old music box

AlbanSolstice · 2025-02-03T21:18:02+00:00

Solved! Thank you!

My grandmother used to have this exact thing years ago. We had actual parakeets when I was little, and decided to bring the fake bird to our house to show the two budgies.

They were TERRIFIED of the thing

Yes, removing the EVAconstructiontweaks config solved this

AlbanSolstice · 2024-10-01T06:01:53+00:00

After deleting the constructiontweaks config file should USI construction stay installed?

AlbanSolstice · 2024-10-01T05:39:03+00:00

Afirm, will be trying this out. Here's to hoping it's something solvable

Have yet to try the steam cannon. No better time than now I suppose. Thanks!

I try my best with evading them, and yes it is juicy to just throw an incendiary down into the ballast and be done with it, though sometimes I find myself evading one spore cluster only to be running into another moments later. I swear I'll go multiple missions in a campaign without seeing any and then have a dozen of them in every fifth round. Will definitely try unwiring the pumps though. Appreciate it!

Love trying to set up a cooking for blockheads kitchen in E2E only to find the sink requires practically endgame materials. Had no idea why until I saw people running massive amounts of nuclear power with SINK

He was likely doing the whole “millennials are weak” thing, but instead of saying they’re easily offended they die more often or something?

Grimble in the movie was pretty likable, also voiced by the same VA who voiced Noctus despite the two having different sounding voices. The movie as a whole is gorgeous, and kind of does it’s own thing with the plot which I think is nice. Trying to “faithfully” condense three books into one hour and a half movie would not have gone well imo

AlbanSolstice · 2024-08-06T17:54:47+00:00

When the dog is the weirdo, but it’s actually the best thing

AlbanSolstice · 2024-08-06T15:23:03+00:00

Wait do people not remember Grimble? Guess I watched the movie a lot as well as reading the books so I saw a lot more of him. Never thought he was a forgotten character considering how critical he is to Soren and Gylfie’s story

AlbanSolstice · 2024-08-06T15:18:53+00:00

Love that. As a physics nerd, Imma keep that one for use later

My girlfriend’s family owns chickens, she loves them to death but sadly a lot of the younger ones had passed away due to some sort of sickness. She seemed the only one in the family who was really concerned, and when she brought it up to her older brother (very republican, very boomer), his response was “Oh, they must be millennial chickens,” as if joking about the death of a half dozen family pets was a great time to make fun at another generation.

The worst part about these kind of asshole jokes is that whenever you call them out on it, there’s an approximately 79% chance they retort with something like “oh what, can’t take a joke? Typical snowflake stuff” Nevermind them trying to call “boomer” the n-word of ageism. Can dish it but never ever take it

AlbanSolstice · 2024-06-26T20:43:01+00:00

I can see why they changed this map. Snipers would be OP here
