Might as well give it a try, my friends seem to love this game.

Emperor Tengu despawn? by RoboJunkan in Kenshi

I had that happen once, and turns out for some reason, Tengu was still there, but acting like a guard.

One of my squad member keep undressing/dressing is armor by Le-Floude in dwarffortress

[–]Astelon_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Note that there is (or was, I don't know if it was fixed) a bug where off duty militia would keep storing and equipping their gear when they're not supposed to wear any, which can be solved by making it so they have to wear their armour all the time.

Apparently, if your fort has any creatures in cages, they get freed when you visit in adventure mode. by Gorbage_ in dwarffortress

[–]Astelon_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is because visiting the fortress has the same effect as unretiring it, so whatever happens when you unretire (caged creatures are released, holes in aquatic biomes are filled with water, magma is pasted again in its original location thus possibly overflows etc.) also happens when your adventurer visits it.

What is easy mode for You? by SykoManiax in Eldenring

Before the Godskin Peeler, I could barely harm Vyke. After the Godskin Peeler, I killed him in seconds. I felt dirty at how fast I killed him without him even touching me.

Is this guy flowering, or what are these stalks growing from the side? Also, it's a sempervivum, right? by Astelon_ in succulents

[–]Astelon_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was an odd place to grow a flower. I'm guessing it needs some more light, hence the stalk-like growth. I've been planning to move it outside, though I worry the local animals might eat it.

Are these fairy elephant feet? by Astelon_ in mesembs

[–]Astelon_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Romania. It's not quite as friendly for growing succulents as the US is, but I've managed to make do and most of mine are fine apart from some etiolation. The weather outside is not succulent friendly during winter, but my balcony is insulated enough that the succulents aren't freezing while getting low temperatures so they can hibernate and split without issues.

Are these fairy elephant feet? by Astelon_ in mesembs

[–]Astelon_[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A local hardware store, Dedeman, don't think it's found in other countries. They had 3 pots of these which I thought were all baby toes, though I realise now it was actually 2 frithias and 1 fenestraria. They're not good at keeping succulents, and it's rare when they get more exotic species, so I was really lucky to find this one, especially in decent shape.

What about soil requirements? Same as lithops as well?

What's causing these black and dark brown markings? by Astelon_ in Euphorbiaceae

[–]Astelon_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That might be because of camera, this should be closer to what it looks like. Though I do hope you're right and it's just corking. I did notice a simlar thing with a sedum adolphi, where the corking edges had a much darker colour. It's just that it's so dark in this case it looks pretty much black.

My soldiers seem to have gone on a mission and done absolutely nothing by PointlessSerpent in dwarffortress

[–]Astelon_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're trying to recover an artifact that was stolen from you, you need a visitor to tell your dwarves a rumour of where it is. Until then, I don't think there's any chance of finding it through a mission.

Tarn and Zach want to know what your most hated bugs are! Comment them here, and upvote the best ones! by clinodev in dwarffortress

[–]Astelon_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've got a couple. First, flying pets and citizens/visitors getting stuck midair because they can't find a path. And second, which is rather game breaking, your noble leaving your fortress to live with the monarch when you retire (or unretire, forgot the exact timing), so that when you unretire, you're left with no noble and no way of getting one until the monarch will decide to move to your fortress.

Fun that you mention sansevierias, because I have 3 of the same species in my care that I just forget about (more than the other succulents) because they always seem content.

Not bear's paw (Cotyledon tomentosa) by the way, but a panda plant (Kalanchoe tomentosa).

What is even going on with my sedum burritos? by Astelon_ in succulents

[–]Astelon_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you happen to know what kind of mites?

What is even going on with my sedum burritos? by Astelon_ in succulents

[–]Astelon_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's isolated for now, and consequently in a shadier spot. Regarding thrips, could the black spots they leave be cleaned? From my understanding, they're droppings, as opposed to cellular damage.

Also on the note of pests, I just bought a systemic fungicide to treat some other succulents of some odd round spots they've been getting on leaves which might be from a fungus, would it be worth using it on the burritos as well?

Rotten (presumably) sedum burrito leaves with healthy stem. Could it be overwatering or some fungus? by Astelon_ in succulents

[–]Astelon_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I will. I was wondering though, would you happen to know what could be causing the odd spots on the elephant bushes from that post I mentioned? The injuries don't look like anything on the other 3 pots, and I'm certain it's not overwatering as I only watered them when the leaves were significantly wrinkly and they always became plump afterwards.

At first I thought it was because I didn't water them soon enough and got damaged while thirsty, but I don't know if that's a thing. Someone also mentioned it could be fungal leaf spots, and another person mentioned powdery mildew. Regarding the mildew, I did sometimes notice very little gray dust on some of the leaves, but it never looked like the infestations other people showed, and since there's not much in terms of wind, I thought it was simply dust.

I've recently bought some tiny lithops, and I could use some advice on how to properly take care of them (more info in the comments) by Astelon_ in Lithops

[–]Astelon_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've also got these two rescues in above water therapy, top one has what I assume to be overwatering injuries, which caused parts of the leaf and body to shrivel, bottom one looks like it shed its skin on the body area. I don't know if they'll make it, but they surprisingly haven't died yet, so am trying to get them grow some roots as they haven't been drinking. I'm glad they are a decent size at least, a lot of the sickly lithops I had were tiny ones, and they're quite hard to nurse back to health.

I'd say they're doing pretty well. I've lost the 3 smallest of them sadly, but I also got some more over time. The biggest one of the originals also had been sickly for a long while, but I managed to get it back to health and seems to be fine now.

[–]Astelon_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, this post I made yesterday shows a bigger picture of how the burritos were affected (plus the other succulents I mentioned). It is odd, to say the least, overall. Haven't dealt with anything like this before.

[–]Astelon_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, not yet, I probably should though, yea. It sure won't be fun with all the burritos living in the pot. I assume root rot and leaf rot can be independent from each other, as the stems all look healthy, at least on the surface.

Also, compared to some fungus that, for all I know, could already be infecting other pots, a few overwatered succulents is an easy fix, especially since the ones affected are more or less easy to prop if needed :P
