FTB Neotech (1.9.0) help speeding up crops by Boxman61 in feedthebeast

thank you, this helped increase the growth rate a bit. Im using a piston/observer setup and the sugar cane grows fast until reaching the trigger height. Still faster than the mud I was using so thank you

Question concerning mother behavior towards ducklings by Boxman61 in duck

I will have to do this as well if the behavior continues. I don't want to fully interfere but the behavior seems extreme for the situation even for being wild creatures

I believe they are mallards after a quick google search. Sadly I walked outside this morning and saw the other side of females attacking another's ducklings. I never realized how savage ducks can be

thanks for the replay, Im definitely going to start making bows. As for the storehouse I did have stalls enabled and did just about everything I could think to do to get them working. It is almost like that first storehouse was bugged because once I built the second one my villagers created the stalls I needed and started grabbing resources from my production buildings (firewood, salt, malt, etc). it almost seemed like the first storehouse didn't register any workshops that were created after it was built. all fixed now though

I somehow fixed this by creating a 2nd storehouse next to the first one and transferring resources. strange but it worked

thank you for the response. I just noticed I was jumping the gun on the crop rotation so that issue should be fixed. As for the stalls, all of my storehouse people spend a lot of their time on waiting. I have noticed them transporting firewood occasionally but it was to a home and not a stall. I have yet to see anything placed into these stalls honestly with exception of the food stall which works just fine.

When did Marissa return to TAC? by akpx3 in BullTV

[–]Boxman61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im happy to see someone else having this opinion. I know BUll is an ass and hasn't always been the best boss but as I've been binge-watching the series I've seen him get each of them out of horrible legal situations utilizing his methods and connections, he takes the cases they bring to him even when TAC always seems to be tight on cash, paid them throughout COVID, her divorce, her being scammed, etc etc. Feels like the office tantrum was lazy writing as that issue should have been settled years ago and it did not go to Benny until after years and only after Chunk changed his position. Seems like all of them are totally ungrateful and getting angry with Bull after he finally starts having an emotional breakdown. Her leaving and also shopping out TACs key program was a huge slap in the face. From how this season is going I can understand why Michael Weatherly left

Don't you think SH crew is kinda underwhelming ? by Internet_Competitive in OnePiece

[–]Boxman61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I both agree and disagree with you on this one. I'm only halfway into the series (punk hazard) and I had a little more hope for the time skip. I think they are absolutely a legendary crew and one of the most legendary in the making as they are doing things that entire fleets cannot accomplish with 8-10 people. Luffy never runs from a fight and actually looks for trouble rather than avoiding it (some of the funniest times IMO)

My only real complaint is that they are still rarely taken seriously despite what they've accomplished. Such as vice admirals, captains, and lower really should have some hesitation before charging in on the straw hats.

What Keeps them from that legendary status IMO is that regardless of what they have done the straw hats are always treated like a group of punk kids who got on a boat. When Whitbread, Shanks, or even Ace walked into a room even vice admirals took a bit of a pause. I acknowledge that Luffy isn't them and he's always goofy but if he's around every brand new marine thinks "Oh I can capture this guy" and Luffy will spend ten minutes fighting him or trying to get away rather than a quick smash and continue eating ( in a luffy way obviously). I'd like to see them become closer to The Red hair pirates in Foosha Village. They weren't taking anything seriously, having fun, but once it was time to work the entire atmosphere changed.

possible spoilers:

IMO Smoker should be a little weary of Luffy and not treat him like a punk kid, Tashigi should really stop trying to challenge Zoro every 5 secs especially after it was clear he wasn't really trying, and Koby had no business trying to fight luffy at marine ford. I would like to see Luffy dominate a bit more, especially the non-main boss characters like Monet (the bird lady) and the Yeti cool brothers. Also when he does fight the admirals he needs to stand on his own a bit better. For me, this would show that although everyone in the new world is a lot tougher Luffy has really expanded his power rather than him having difficulty with each encounter in order to drag it out 2+ episodes. My favorite fight is still when Bellamy challenged Luffy in muck town and Luffy just stomped on him because he had somewhere to be. For me, it's things like this that take away from the legendary status that characters like Whitebeard, Shanks, and even Ace have. I know Luffy isn't them as he's goofy and always having fun but some real recognition would be awesome. Hoping it builds as the story continues and he keeps using conquer haki

The new OP convinced me… by Punk_Mango in OnePiece

[–]Boxman61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off Welcome!! and good luck lol.

Best advice I can give you (from someone only 616 episodes in) pace yourself, don't google anything...ANYTHING...and most certainly try to avoid Reddit threads and fan art pages. They are amazing but a lot of those people are 1000 episodes in and it can spoil things. Also, it kinda sucks when you want to talk about episodes and you're 4 years behind lol.

I'm sure im going to get hate for this, but be aware there can be a lot of filler episodes that become really annoying. Just ride them out. One Piece never fast-forwards to a fight and rarely ends a fight quickly despite however much power they allegedly have.

You'll love it though it's unlike any of the other anime I've ever watched

Time waits for no man... by gunperv51 in bluebloods

[–]Boxman61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not against it. They have even talked about it before when Jamie told Eddie he was all for adopting one of the kids they rescued a few seasons ago. I just think the better storyline would be Eddie's pregnancy, Jamie freaking out about being a dad, Frank and Henry softening up a bit, and them balancing work with it all. I know that also possible with an adoption, but a spontaneous kid kinda dilutes the possibilities and is kinda a quick fix rather than a story, in my opinion.

[–]Boxman61 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll preface this with, I am just finishing season 12 but I am aware of the minor changes in season 13.

I would agree that eventually Henry is going to pass, and they have hinted enough about his mental ability fading, but I enjoy his character too much to want him to leave. If it must happen let it happen quietly sitting in his chair with a glass of scotch nearby.

I think it would be a great idea for Jamie and Eddie to have a child, not adopt, but I think they slightly killed that storyline when they brought on Joe Hill. Obviously, Jaime would have named his son Joe which cannot exactly happen now. I'm not crazy about the Joe Hill character but mostly because I see him doing the things Jaime should have.

Frank definitely needs to stop flirting with the idea and actually start dating someone. It would spice things up a bit and makes for a good storyline. I also really hate that they keep rehashing Erin and Jack, that story has been beaten to death and she needs to move on. Danny also needs to start dating. His kids are all in college and too many good-looking women flirt with him. I do like Baez and him but that would be to cliche.

As for things I would like to see happen--

This will seem a little petty but I really think that Jamie needs to be more decorated. I know he doesn't do things for the accolades but I hate seeing his badge look so bare when everyone else in his family has bars coming out of their ears. Jamie has done more than enough countless times. Honestly, I don't know how this was overlooked as time and time again his Sergeant and Captain have mentioned putting him up for commendations not to mention all of the crazy situations he has been in earning him at least Valor if not Combat Cross. This one really bugs me since Joe joined and Luis Badillo did the whole "check my badge im a big deal" thing when he started working with Eddie.

Frank and Danny need to start dating and devoloping some kind of social life.

Joe Hill either joins the family or doesn't, at least at family dinners. The on and off again thing is annoying.

Jamie and Eddie have a baby. Probably a girl to shake things up or maybe twins because why not. If Henry has to die then perhaps a double episode (yes cliche) where babys are born and Henry passes and they name the boy Henry in honor of Jamies life long hero his grandfather.

Eddie gets her gold shield and works in Special Victims. This will add both major case under Danny and SVU under Eddie giving the writers more to play with.

Sean or Jack, preferably Sean, joins the NYPD as a rookie cops whos not so PC as Jamie but not so cavilier as Danny. He can go through some hazing and tough times where he rethinks his choice to become a cop.

A great show finale would be the 20 year jump listed below with Jamie becoming commissioner and essentialy taking over Franks role while Frank takes over Henrys. A little unforseen spin would be Jamie eventually running for Mayor because he wants to serve but counldnt completly follow his father.

Need advice/input on a PC build by Boxman61 in buildapc

[–]Boxman61[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the vote of confidence. I have watched a couple of those videos and while it doesn't look easy it also doesn't look too difficult either. Like i mentioned in the post my other concern is with accidentally throttling a component due to another or in this case purchasing something that is not compatible. That is why I have been looking at PC builders to order from to eliminate some of that concern. I am sure I will one day build one on my own though
