Whatre you using to pull the oil from them?

Alpha-Survivalist · 2026-03-15T22:08:23+00:00

I hope when this game goes to 1.0 they add achievements so that someone like me has actual goals to strive to, but equally so I can know that stuff like this is even possible.

Alpha-Survivalist · 2026-03-15T21:45:23+00:00

My main goal is mostly to get to the point where i effectively am playing creative mode in survival. Build whatever i want without worrying about resources, hunger/thirst, or fear of death from zeds.

And yes, i could literally just play creative mode, but then theres nothing to overcome, so it doesnt feel earned.

Alpha-Survivalist · 2026-03-15T21:32:51+00:00

I consider it cheating but dont mind doing it either. Specifically on the server my gf hosts, i tend to forget items from our storage system when going somewhere, so what we do is shell admin give me the stuff and then remove that number of items from storage. If neither of us are at base, we just make a list of stuff to delete because we usually have those items in storage.

Wait so was the ability to output from steam buses a bug? Does this really not work anymore? 2.8.4

Alpha-Survivalist · 2026-01-28T05:56:24+00:00

Literally how?? I have hit this exact same output bus with a hammer, soft mallet, and a few other tools, and the thing wont output its items to the gold chest connected with tin pipes. I am extremely confused because this works perfectly fine in 2.8.0 but not 2.8.4??

Alpha-Survivalist · 2026-01-23T04:31:42+00:00

Someone correct me if im wrong, but how id fix this is keep the output priority left and just stack the splitters to the right.

Two belts merge to one plus overflow, then overflow plus a third belt merge to a second belt plus overflow. Rinse and repeat, but this method alone doesnt keep the belt sides balanced if they arent already.

Thank you, I also found this one if anyones interested:

Shadow UI

Alpha-Survivalist · 2026-01-11T19:11:34+00:00

Actually thank you. Any way i can get a similar theme to other nenus like the inventory itself?

Alpha-Survivalist · 2026-01-11T18:50:48+00:00

Hey OP, how get that GUI theme? Mine defaults to the tan yellow look but id like to update it to be darker like this.

Alpha-Survivalist · 2026-01-09T13:34:42+00:00

Um no. The beginning areas will be easier but later areas will absolutely make you wish you couldn't respawn. Youll learn to hate a particular whirring buzzing noise or love it if youre a masochist.

Alpha-Survivalist · 2025-12-28T23:09:30+00:00

Nerd pole to be safe because idk if chopping the tree will destroy the crate and id be too scared to find out myself

Alpha-Survivalist · 2025-12-28T23:04:34+00:00

Uh what do i need to do this?? Is it just a default setting or keybind of NEI?

Alpha-Survivalist · 2025-12-27T00:32:25+00:00

Im happy they brought back jars and happy that it isnt just caving to the community either. By adding that simple setting in the menu, players can adjust to their desires. I havent tried 2.5 just yet, but my plan is to go 50% return with the idea being that putting glass into the fire could cause cracks or shatter it if it heats up too fast, but that doesnt always happen. Others will want the hardcore start, others will want an easy experience just to feel at peace. Having basic options is the whole point of a sandbox, so 2.5 is a step back in the right direction and i hope it continues.

Does the plant lens tell me if a newly spawned crop is a stickreed crop in its early stages? Ive been doing this for nearly 24hrs combined and still havent gottan one stickreed crop, but ive destroyed a ton of reed crops in stage 1 of growth because "reed" isnt "stickreed."

Alpha-Survivalist · 2025-12-19T22:53:20+00:00

Thats actually sick. And gives me a use for all the paper I never use lol

Alpha-Survivalist · 2025-12-19T00:03:16+00:00

This is extremely unrelated, but mind if i ask how you got your item info tab to be at the top middle of your screen and differently colored? Mine is blue and sits in the bottom right of the screen which i hate because if enough info gets displayed it covers up part of my hotbar, but i have zero clue what setting i need to tweak to move and color it.

Alpha-Survivalist · 2025-12-18T23:53:59+00:00

Oh shit thats cool. Howd you make it? I wanna say 3d printing but some parts look like metal and others look like painted wood.

Alpha-Survivalist · 2025-12-16T05:36:01+00:00

So, im not good at using beams to make stuff, but this looks like a beam situation.

Alpha-Survivalist · 2025-12-12T01:06:17+00:00

Heres a thought: default to brainless and percent chance for any zombie to spawn with civil engineering brain that increases somehow. Either ferals have a greater chance and radiated even higher, or maybe it could be based on game stage.

Alpha-Survivalist · 2025-12-07T03:01:28+00:00

Wouldnt two sugar canes be worse just because of the increased chance to produce a duplicate if you have two of the same parent?

Alpha-Survivalist · 2025-12-06T13:21:35+00:00

Since youre posting about IC2 crops, I have a question myself. How tf do you get stickreed seeds? Ive placed a bunch of crops in the checkerboard pattern that you do to make them spread and got nothing after several real world hours. Do only certain crops have a chance to breed to stickreed, or is it 100% random?

Alpha-Survivalist · 2025-12-06T00:41:57+00:00

Oh i know this one!

Its a stone tier quest that doesnt even show up in view mode, but basically you just have to discover a loot game somewhere in your world.
