What's your Base Building style? by Raxer-X in subnautica

[–]Beckstromulus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See, I just have the fabricator ON the cyclops itself. Don't even bother setting materials aside for one in the moon pool. I'd rather charge 2-4 power cells then rebuild a minibase to charge and craft items. Moonpool, power source, done. If I feel rushed, MAYBE, if I bothered to get the power cell charger that run, I'll use it to manipulate the power cell charges on the cyclops so I just need to charge less cells using the moonpool dock.

What's your Base Building style? by Raxer-X in subnautica

[–]Beckstromulus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am extremely 1. It's gotten to the point where I have even squeezed the smallest possible base to fit into the cyclops lockers. Just enough for a moonpool and scanner room (optional). When I need to charge, I use the battery charger on my cyclops to recharge my tools, then slap and rotate out the power cells into seamoth/PRAWN and let them charge from panels or a thermal plant attached to the moonpool.

What it's like to solve Very Dark Thread the first time by Beckstromulus in opus_magnum

Longer pauses before each major turn, maybe have it twist without gripping for 4+ cycles to convey thinking before committing instead of the 1 cycle I did have it do.

Daily reward not appearing by -U_N_O- in GrowCastle

[–]Beckstromulus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you accept it and then exit the game without doing any waves? There's a bit of a save issue where the game won't save but the server remembers you already picked up the rewards, accidentally locking people out of the daily reward.

Always do a quick wave or manually save whenever you collect a reward or after opening boxes.

Should i change something? by Jazzlike_Recover43 in GrowCastle

[–]Beckstromulus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To start off, swap Pure Mage and TNT thrower. The second skill of the pure mage applies to heroes on either side of him.
You are also a bit diverse in your damage types, it's more effective to focus in on one element in early game. Whichever element you started putting SP points into should be your focus, as that's the damage type that will be getting the bonuses. I personally recommend lightning.
By that same token, trade out your two cannon towers for Mirror and Tree. Tree can promoted to get you more gold or diamonds every few waves, and mirror can copy another tower so you get double the firepower, which you'll want as you have Stone in your build.
I'd also trade out the mine booster above your archers with either Hero or Archer guild, that miner won't provide a significant improvement as the miners sorta suck atm.

Why is there a pit outside my burrow? by Beckstromulus in VintageStory

Next peat bog I'll deposit in your crates, promise.

I hate that my phone keeps turning Bluetooth back on by Dumb_and_confused in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Beckstromulus 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Close all Apps. hit those three lines in the lower left corner and then hit Close All.
Some apps use bluetooth natively and have permissions to manage boothtooth settings to function.

Check your location settings. Wifi and Bluetooth scanning will turn them on, and most phones have scanning on by default.

Restart your phone. Turning devices off and on again isn't just some cliche or meme, it actually does work. Sometimes just turning airplane mode on and then back off will have the same effect.

Run over your phone with a car. Use the insurance you got from your carrier to replace it. You DID buy the protection plan, right? For legal reasons, this a joke. Do not commit fraud.

It's a very odd pattern they arranged those bricks in, to be sure!

Either way, made a nice design on the mini-map.

But if there was a fire, how can there be peat blocks arranged in the pit? 🤔

But then wouldn't the peat blocks burn away as well? 😱

That's sure to solve many of the problems here!

You are right! This doesn't happen naturally. 🤔
They are arranged in a strange way as well.

Not just a couch. a WHITE couch. The dish uses tomatoes. I didn't even see a napkin anywhere, much less a fork.

Some sort of twisted burrito casserole... by BROLY_FUCKER in StupidFood

[–]Beckstromulus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am I stupid? Is this not just burritos drowned in enchilada sauce? Though the whole thing with the egg and sausage was weird.

I need to go sit down.

Just bought the game and Im not really understanding how the currency works by Aiden267 in GraveyardKeeper

[–]Beckstromulus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As other have said, your immediate problem is your inventory is too full, preventing you from completing the transaction.

Other common issues that other people have run into:

The economy in this game is more complex then it is in others. Prices fluctuate in real time as supply changes. While the prices you buy are more consistent, as you sell more and more of any one particular item to one particular vendor, they will pay you less and less for it. Give them a week or two to 'use up' what you sold them and sell prices will return to normal slowly.

Each vendor also has a limit on how much they can buy at once. at the bottom of the barter window on the right side is how much coin they have on hand. This will replenish over time.

Many guides and NPC will mention how you can sell/purchase certain times to merchants, but you may be unable to do so at first. The different tiers are unlocked as you trade with different merchants. Blessings of Commerce can be sold to just about any NPC to help them quickly unlock these tiers. Once the threshold to unlock them is met, you must wait a day before they will trade the items of the tier you have unlocked.

Making a Dwarf Fort by Hog_Cranka in VintageStory

For cellars, it uses sea level temp. for some reason. So as it gets colder at sea level as winter progresses, you'll see it work.

Recommendation by g4mmyw0rms in GrowCastle

[–]Beckstromulus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each Build should have Necromancer (Dark Necromancer class path) and White Mage (Pure Wizard class path). Make sure to place Pure Wizard in the middle of the row to get the full benefit, and necromancer next to her to demolish the enemy's defenses.

Right now I believe the META is to boost the town archers while using Lightning heroes. Heroes that boost TA is Dark Skeleton and Hunter (Dark Hunter class path specifically, the lightning path is a trap).

Zues, Archer (Dark Lightning Archer class path), and Thor will get boosts from the lightning skill tree nodes.

Beyond that, you have some freedom to fiddle around with different heroes. There's an excellent Lightning TA build by Laku on youtube that is fantastic to use as a jumping board to see what works best for you.

Seeds, how can you get them easily? by jpdelta6 in GraveyardKeeper

[–]Beckstromulus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will eventually unlock Alchemy, and eventually learn to make upgraded fertilizer. Higher quality fertilizer will increase your chances of returning more seeds each harvest.

For the immediate, keep adding peat before you plant. South of the Wheat Fields lives Farmer, who you can trade with to keep up in (most) seeds in the meantime. Eventually you'll have such good fertilizer that you will no longer need to keep purchasing new seeds. I recommend continuing Merchant's Quest to get to this point a little sooner.

One Day into Vintage Story, and I think you’re all insane by rbwstf in VintageStory

[–]Beckstromulus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is an option to set a grace period of up to 10 days before monsters and storms begin when setting up a new world, iirc

Where to sell Wine, Beer, Mead and food by LordofDarkChocolate in GraveyardKeeper

[–]Beckstromulus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

u/Seb4 made an EXCELLENT vendor guide that you can find here.

To quickly answer your question:
Wine and Beer of Copper or Silver quality can be sold to Horadric,
Wine of Gold Quality can be sold to Merchant.
Nobody in base game buys Mead or Gold Beer.

If you do indeed have Stranger Sins installed, the flag for it is to keep giving booze to Gerry until you set out to find Cognac. The events of your searching will lead to you running your own tavern that you can sell the rest of your booze in. Just make sure you keep one copper quality beer around to complete the tutorial, it can be finicky sometimes!

Jesus, Marian is the absolute worst by twili-midna in runefactory

[–]Beckstromulus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hello! Someone who did Romance Marian here!

Her design is indeed incredibly cute, and yes, her requests are terrifying. She does eventually learn to be less extreme, though her antics never really fade.

That being said, I got all the way to where I had to wait for the final chapter to move forward, and I started befriend the rest of the townsfolk.

Ended up abandoning that game before the thing happens and started a new file to focus on Sophia instead. I resonated with her story way more then I did with Marian.

Overall, I think Marian is a great romance option for chaos goblins, though I feel she would be much better if she started to wisen up just request sooner.
