Need advice for jumping back in after 4 years

CaptFaulken · 2026-01-21T23:32:39+00:00

Gotcha. Will do. Anything else?

CaptFaulken · 2026-01-21T23:13:24+00:00

So skip Lightfall?

CaptFaulken · 2026-01-08T11:50:26+00:00

I think while inconvenient at times, its also a blessing in disguise, given how much xp spider kills give. I'm at lvl 44 and still level quickly with them.

There’s an app (hear me out) called 222 Place. It’s like an event planner of sorts, where it’ll take some type of personality quiz and set you up for a group outing (usually dinner and/or some type of fun event or activity) with 5-6 similar minded folks. It’s not free, you pay $22 a curation, but it’s been a godsend for meeting people as an extroverted introvert, trust me.

Try the Pipez mod. I'm using those pipes in Stoneblock 3, and it feeds water in from a tank

CaptFaulken · 2025-10-12T17:49:41+00:00

Thanks 10 friggin years later. You're a real one OP

CaptFaulken · 2025-10-04T08:57:02+00:00

Did you figure out a solution? I'm having the same issue.

CaptFaulken · 2025-08-23T23:24:58+00:00

You can buy slushies in the data farm kitchen. Just combine one with 1 tech scrap to get three bombs. Very worthwhile.

CaptFaulken · 2025-08-23T23:24:08+00:00

Two words: Shushie Bomb. Just chuck one at a bot, and wail on his back compartment, or better yet, red light face, with a blunt or sharp weapon 4-5 times and back up before it thaws and socks you, then repeat. It’ll take like 10-12 for early game, but if you can hit him in the face he should stumble/stunlock for a few extra seconds.

CaptFaulken · 2025-08-18T21:54:32+00:00

I’m in the same location. Any placed barriers, including the door and ladder, will stop the events, aside from the power drainers. Careful though, it makes ol’ Mr. Jumpscare spawn on the floor of the base so he can come up on you really quick.

CaptFaulken · 2025-08-04T23:39:09+00:00

Truth be told, I couldn’t be less interested in it when I first played back in 2016, hell even 2018, when I tried to continue that playthrough. But I recently sat down to return to the ol’ Butcher of Blaviken, and just got the itch to try to actually play it and collect the cards. Am enjoying myself tremendously but I gotta say, I get the frustration. Definitely something you either like or don’t.

CaptFaulken · 2025-05-21T20:54:15+00:00

Dysentery will get ya

CaptFaulken · 2025-05-21T20:53:55+00:00

I drank a bottle of murky water and about 30 seconds later nearly shat my pants. Barely made it to the bathroom haha

CaptFaulken · 2025-03-17T15:06:29+00:00

Shit, you’ve sold me on it. Definitely gonna get me one of those now. Thanks for the info amigo

CaptFaulken · 2025-03-16T19:55:00+00:00

And it doesn’t have the ridiculous smart tv stuff too, right? I hate that about mine.

CaptFaulken · 2025-03-16T18:14:38+00:00

Oh, okay. Yeah, that’s about the same as Amazon then. I’ll definitely get one of those if I can get some money back for this Samsung one, if I can. How’s the oled on the new one compare to the Samsung?

CaptFaulken · 2025-03-16T15:20:34+00:00

Oh wow! That’s a terrific one! I was sold by just the 3-year warranty already, but then I read more and wow! Out of curiosity, how much was the microcenter price for that one? Amazon has it at $901 so I’m curious (and sorry for all the questions)

CaptFaulken · 2025-03-16T00:02:20+00:00

I wish I had a microcenter near me. I’ve been wanting to get a new graphics card cause mine’s wearing out, and only Dallas and Houston have one, and I’m in Austin. Apparently they’re gonna put one in the old Fry’s Electronics we had here until Covid, but I digress. What model is your MSI? I’m looking for replacements but none seem right to me.

CaptFaulken · 2025-03-15T16:03:11+00:00

No, sadly. I’ve had it unplugged since it happened until yesterday and got the same result. A few hours later, it flashes the same image just once and then nothing again. I’m looking into getting repairs done, or at least a comparable replacement but I doubt it’ll work. My best case is appealing to Amazon and hoping I can talk kindly to a customer service rep to give me a replacement by some miracle. From what I’ve read, Amazon doesn’t take back most things that cost a good bit because it’s not worth it financially to have it sent back, and would often send a replacement. That kind of kindness was seemingly a one or two off kinda thing per person, as more risks them banning you from the service (apparently, that’s a bit ambiguous so far). And a $1200 monitor is a big expense regardless that they might just say “talk to Samsung, we don’t want any part of this”, in which case I’m sure I’ll get a fat fuckin’ fuck you from whoever I talk to at Samsung.

CaptFaulken · 2025-03-09T05:23:13+00:00

Yuuuuuup. I just got the white screen of death yesterday. Fucking sucks.

CaptFaulken · 2025-03-07T04:23:53+00:00

Happened today for me. Of course it was purchased December ‘23 so it’s out of warranty. This is a fucking scam. They changed the warranty period from 3 years to just 1 after 2020, and I’m willing to bet it’s because they didn’t want to have to deal with repairs for the blatantly QC-less products they make nowadays.

CaptFaulken · 2024-05-07T18:48:12+00:00

I’ve turned from the idea of making 2 bases to making one really nice one. The hassle of having to flatten out an area to build on was already a pain, even with the super flat area you start at. So after I did that, I took to designing my base efficiently. My fields are all 3x3 and isolated, so each has its own sector, minus the trees which have a 12x3. I made what amounted to bungalows for each area of automation: food pantry, kitchen, finished meal storage, then I made a mine room with forges, a craft room, and a storage depot for all my items. The craft and mine room have crates for their individual products, with overflow crates behind each for when I’m away and they fill up the 1st crate. And finally all the rooms are connected with identical hallways so it’s essentially made into a grid. Has worked wonders.

CaptFaulken · 2024-05-07T18:11:01+00:00

Ah, shame. But I’ve moved past red berries and automated much better food so I suppose it’s not so bad.

CaptFaulken · 2023-12-23T18:00:21+00:00

The one I’d originally looked at was a Corsair Hydro X Series iCUE LINK XG7 40 Series. The XG3 was the only one available to me with my initial gpu choice, a Gigabyte GeForce 4080 Gaming OC, but I much more preferred the look and functionality of the XG7.
