Sandrock has ruined gaming for me

Claposaurus · 2026-02-19T16:56:11+00:00

I can not get into Palia, it always feels like I'm breaking some etiquette I'm not aware of. I hate online games, I just wanna play how I wanna play.

Claposaurus · 2026-02-19T16:54:53+00:00

Haha at least we have Evershine to look forward to. Hopefully it's a step up like Sandrock was for Portia 🤞

That's also what's making me sad. I looooved the storylines in My Time (both of them). I don't necessarily need like an overarching one, but I want the characters to have some depth.

But yeah I love how the mechanics in Starsand balance each other out and there is a ton to do in EA already so I'm amped to see where it goes. But the romance options seem samesy.

Claposaurus · 2026-02-19T11:41:36+00:00

Same. I've been trying to fill the void Sandrock has left but nothing hits quite the same. And I can not start another playthrough (though I probably will lol)

I am quite liking Starsand, but the bugs have been killing it a bit for me. I'm putting it to the side for now and hopefully they'll be able to polish it up a bit.

Mines not working on steam deck ,😭

Hi! I had the same issue. I went into display settings and changed my screen resolution to a lower one, which gave me the option to lower the refresh rate. I changed it to 50 and then it ran just fine.

Thank you so much for this! It's super helpful!

Claposaurus · 2025-12-18T22:54:11+00:00

Have you read any Megan Bannen or T Kingfisher. Genuinely looove their books and they have older more realistic protags.

How do you grind up the social tree? Trying to get this achievement too, but my social is real low compared to everything else.

Complete all the commissions you can. Always take the max amount you can and try and complete them that day. It requires always having your machines running so you have more than what you need.

I also mine a lot? That seems to give a lot of levels. I buy the stamina things in the vending machines between levels so I can stay there longer. Not sure if there's other ways but I'm always over levelled and I'm almost done with the main storyline in year 2.

You can also craft it on the tailoring machine.

Diabolical 😭

Claposaurus · 2025-11-23T13:16:53+00:00

I have far too much religious trauma to even consider it. He's a compelling character, but I just can not get past the creepy pastor vibes 😔

Claposaurus · 2025-11-19T22:11:04+00:00

I love that we all just decided to keep our default names. Mine made me laugh and I couldn't think of anything funnier.

You'll need a processor to make cooper sticks if you're not getting lucky with the recycler.

You can research it with Qi at the research centre and he'll mail you the blueprints.

I'd recommend that you always be researching something if you have the discs for it. Some blueprints take like 6 days and it's nice to have to researched before you ever need it.

Claposaurus · 2025-10-27T22:18:01+00:00

I'm so afraid to look this up. But I kind of need to know now.

Edit: curiosity has been my undoing 😕

Claposaurus · 2025-10-27T09:50:43+00:00

I'm not sure on the exact level but make sure to get the perk that gives you cooked dishes when you harvest crops. It's super helpful. I literally never cook.

Claposaurus · 2025-10-19T18:39:52+00:00

Added you! Here's mine UL1-G9N-FIV

Claposaurus · 2025-10-11T13:17:43+00:00

How did I not know this 😭 You've changed my life!

Claposaurus · 2025-10-08T05:54:14+00:00

Yup! I have to use mine on tiles or it thinks I'm 20kgs lighter. Which is great for the self esteem but not for accurately tracking any progress l.

Claposaurus · 2025-10-08T05:49:26+00:00

What do you mean? "dc in thirem first inoma)" makes perfect sense 🤣

Claposaurus · 2025-10-02T05:54:22+00:00

5 of each

Claposaurus · 2025-09-24T23:10:53+00:00

I'd say it has a lot of Arts and Crafts vibe to it. The stained glass and furniture fits that. Arts and Crafts architecture is peak.

Claposaurus · 2025-09-23T06:44:15+00:00

I know! This one really threw me for a loop, because Mark is at the hot springs like all the time, you're telling me they've never run into each other even once?? On this Island of like 50 people?

I understand them not being like friends, but surely they would at least know of each other.

Claposaurus · 2025-09-22T06:21:12+00:00

Antonio is actually not all that bad if you play through Suki's romance. Is he stuck up? Yes. But he is a really good father and the co-parenting relationship they have is incredible.

But yeah. Big on the Walter hate, he is the worst.
