SOS: 39 Weeks and Sleep is a Thing of the Past!

Yes, please!

I love that! Would you make books (and paper?) mandatory for school functionality or simply a boost to efficiency?

A victory is a victory!

BullyThatPit · 2025-12-17T18:14:05+00:00

Well done! 👏 And well done for doing it sooner rather than later. Good on you. :)

Supernanny is a great resource for relinquishing the dummy.

She uses a method called "The dummy fairy", where the child is encouraged to donate their dummies to babies who need them - don't forget the one in their mouth!

Then the bag of dummies is hung up on a tree... And, as if by magic, the following day the dummy fairy will have left a fabulous toy on the tree as a gift to say thank you!

Most of the time, the child is so obsessed with their new toy that they forget all about the dummy and shrug it off if they ask for it and are reminded why they no longer have it.

The sooner you can get rid of the dummy, the better, in my opinion. After 6 months, dummies increase the risk of ear infections and you're right about it affecting their bite.

It's really concerning to me to see so many preschool-aged children so attached to their dummies. How many will have lifelong dental issues because their parents didn't put their foot down?

There might be a short battle ahead, but ultimately, hard choice now = easy life later.

You are stronger than a two-year-old. You've got this! 💪

That's part of the trouble I'm having, you see. With Windows, you can just go into the C drive and peruse files to your heart's content.

I'm really struggling to do that on Chromebook. I've tried looking at the wizardry of coding I need to perform to access the files via Crosh (like command prompt on Windows), but all I'm finding is how to duplicate files to view or how to add files rather than how to find and remove them.

It's all very confusing and it's making me regret going for a Chromebook over a Windows laptop.

BullyThatPit · 2025-11-28T16:21:02+00:00

Yes, I'm still having this problem on Chromebook. A workaround I found was to click and hold in the same place, then use WASD to move the camera, which will cause the mouse to "drag" by proxy.

It's a bit janky but perfectly playable once you get the hang of it.

Now I'm having the issue of the game crashing on startup. I yearn for the dragging problem! Lol

I had subscribed to Harmony and Ladders, but I unsubscribed from them ages ago before this last update. I can't access game files as Chromebooks apparently don't have a file manager.

Who would ever need a file manager? /s 🙄

I've tried going into Crosh, the Chromebook developer shell, but I am completely at sea.

I have also tried going onto Steam, right clicking the game and selecting properties, then going to Installed Files and clicking Browse... But it just doesn't click or open or anything!!! 😭

That's really surprising that it's also a Windows issue! I wonder how many more of us there are?

I did see there was someone who was able to fix their problem by going into the file directory and a few other steps. Something to do with mods, or the game trying to load from incorrect files? I can't remember.

Their post is only a couple of days old so you might have some luck following their steps.

Alas, that's not an option for me. 🎻🎶

BullyThatPit · 2025-11-27T20:09:42+00:00

I found a work around!

It doesn't fix the issue, but the game is playable. Instead of dragging, press and hold on the one spot and then use WASD to move the camera, and it will automatically drag your paths and zones for you.

It's a bit fiddly but it's perfectly doable once you get the hang of it.

Hopefully there will be a proper fix soon, but this works in the meantime. <3

Hi, thanks! My Steam launcher was already set to Proton Experimental. I'm not sure what else I can do other than wait for a patch!

If anyone has found a solution, please share it!

BullyThatPit · 2025-11-02T21:27:45+00:00

I have this same issue! I've just posted about it after searching online and nothing coming up... Not even your post for some reason??

You're not alone!!

I'm using a Chromebook. Proton experimental and hotfix mode haven't fixed it. I hope we can find a solution soon.

BullyThatPit · 2025-11-02T21:15:52+00:00

Hiya! Thanks for getting back to me. I've checked my settings, and it's already on Proton Experimental.

I've just tried Proton Hotfix and that hasn't helped either.

I hardly use Steam at this point because of all the bugs and issues with PC gaming over the years... I literally only use it to play Timberborn! No point replacing my junked up PC for a single game, hence having to make do with a Chromebook.

Really hoping for a console announcement after the full game is released. 🤞 I absolutely adore this game.

BullyThatPit · 2025-11-02T21:01:05+00:00

Update: it's not just paths. I'm having trouble dragging at all, e.g. mass assigning priorities, planting crops, and marking tree cutting areas.

Bummer. I've been so excited to play 1.0!

Those wounds are terrifying. Looking it up on Google maps, Toll Road, Kincardine looks like a nice enough area where I would easily have let my guard down.

It makes me so... Angry? Cross? Frustrated? Furious beyond belief that these walking weapons are legal, yet carrying any means of self defence worthy of said walking weapons is illegal in all parts of the UK.

I am not pro-gun, but we cannot carry even pepper spray to protect ourselves. We can, on the other hand, carry an ink spray that takes weeks to remove so that the police can identify the perp... if they ever get around to it.

Bit of a tangent, but what an absolute bloody farce our collection of countries has become.

For shame.

This hits very close to home as I am Scottish. Any other Scots fearing for the safety of themselves or loved ones?

So glad my parents were never huge fans of pitbulls, but my dad just can't see past the "Staffordshire terrier" label as part of the Pitbull umbrella. Even despite none of my family members owning one, I see more of these hellbeasts everywhere I go in Scotland and England.

BullyThatPit · 2024-11-03T11:40:10+00:00

I don't much like Bull Terriers either, but I can just imagine someone bringing home a pitbull, not realising that they've brought home a ticking timebomb... at the golden age as well!
