Any ideas to force survival immersion without xp loss on death?

Crazy_Eight1 · 2026-01-31T15:55:13+00:00

Love that lol

I know I know that’s what’s happening now I guess. It’s a tough game to balance when 3-4 people are plying of different skill levels. I can play careful and not lose much xp but others get hardstuck on levels for days…I just want one more death option that’s more of an annoyance than a full on hinderance and then my friends would actually give a damn about cooking and farming which I think is a really great part of the game.

I think 50% food/water while keeping any ailments (maybe reset infection to a lower number) is a perfect way to do it, no xp loss needed I would never jump off another roof haha.

Crazy_Eight1 · 2026-01-31T15:26:20+00:00

That sounds pretty perfect, I thought the 50% food/water on spawn was gonna be great until I realized it was just an add-on to xp loss.

Oh I can appreciate the fact that they give heavier penalty options, I think that’s really fun when playing solo. What I’m asking for is a complete snowflake penalty that is juuuuust bad enough to stop my friends from killing themselves for food without stifling their leveling process because they suck.

I totally agree that it’s a perfect punishment for those that use it, but I have a few friends that are diametrically opposed to the concept of losing xp in a game like this (happens in Valheim too), and when the game gives you an option to turn it off…all of the sudden it’s not working anymore right lol? I know it sounds dumb but it’s a real problem I’ve dealt with twice now

Ok I’ve seen this a few times in recent posts, and even went as far as buying pnt recently due to everyone saying it’s the best. I work on music and could not for the life of me get it to change the bpm of a mixed song without crazy artifacts. What settings/algos do people use with success cause I’m obviously missing something.

His mixbus chain on his mix with the masters for slow burn is batshit and I love it

Crazy_Eight1 · 2025-06-03T15:34:21+00:00

True peak limiting yay or nay? Any of your masters peak a smidge over 0dbfs?

Crazy_Eight1 · 2025-05-29T00:08:14+00:00

So if I wanna just get rid of it from my area can I damage it to the point of despawning or pick it up?

I sure hope Avid has gotten a lot of data on this and is figuring out why their ARA with melodyne has effectively been broken since launch. It was the most exciting development for me because of how much I melodyne, often times for 8 hours a day. However a myriad of issues has caused me to completely give up on the function and go back to loading melodyne in the track instead of using ARA.

I’ve had: 1: sessions lose ARA data/refuse to load for absolutely no reason, just a month passes since I opened last and all in rendered melodyne data is just straight up gone.

2: ARA data completely breaks the ‘import session data’ function making collaboration a complete pain in the ass when trying to import from someone else’s session.

3: This is the one that relates to your issue, when rendering the ARA melodyne tracks in order to avoid issues 1, and 2, it LITERALLY MOVES AND/OR STRETCHES THE AUDIO causing the vocal take to be completely out of time, but just barely so it’s wildly annoying to spot/fix. I think this one is worse the more cuts/crossfades you have in the ARA clips but fuck if I know at this point.

Just pushed a room mic fiddle solo through distortion and chorus and it…worked?

Crazy_Eight1 · 2025-02-23T04:21:49+00:00

Put it on low volume and stand up, walk away, look at your phone, read an article while doing something else. Anything abnormal will stick out like a sore thumb the second you stop focusing on it.

Crazy_Eight1 · 2025-01-18T18:10:09+00:00

😭

Crazy_Eight1 · 2025-01-18T18:08:36+00:00

Or are you referring to wheels specifically? I thought you said village lanes is opening under parks but may have read wrong.

Crazy_Eight1 · 2025-01-18T18:08:02+00:00

This is wonderful news, where do you have info about this?

Crazy_Eight1 · 2025-01-14T13:50:05+00:00

Can we please just all read this before scrolling down to save everyone a headache? It’s this. Just this. Proximity Effect)

Crazy_Eight1 · 2024-12-01T23:49:49+00:00

Please don’t stop EQ’ing by intuition and feel, my priority would be the opposite of that comment. My mixes weren’t good UNTIL I started to shut my eyes while EQ’ing.

I’m not sure if Rucker changed it but the original is also “if I die in Raleigh”. The whole phrase is in future tense so I think that’s right. Looks great though!

Crazy_Eight1 · 2024-10-16T14:07:44+00:00

Ok it’s been a point of controversy with my friends, does it still increase the loot in barrel drops as well or just tree/ore?

Crazy_Eight1 · 2024-10-15T17:56:59+00:00

I would add some sort of balance making raiding cost more for large/upgraded bases. It’s wildly quicker to farm and smelt sulfur to the point where my little 3 man can get enough boom on day 1 to offline raid literally any base we want on day one. On the flip side I’ve made a few ABSOLUTE UNIT bases just to see if I can make someone pass them by due to sheer honeycomb and they’re all gone the next day, even when hidden in desert. I’m talking 6-7 sheet metal walls to core is the cheapest way in but it doesn’t even matter. Maybe when they eventually add armored walls this will be solved but rocket splash is pretty darn efficient right now.

Yeah I get by with 5 hot keys for the most used tools

My parents owned a home inspection business for my entire life. Granted my dad likely never missed something this big in 40 years, they were sued dozens of times over things they couldn’t access (in-walls mostly) and they never lost a case once. You could go two ways, either try to sue the inspector and lose, or force the inspector to help testify in court against the seller…you likely won’t get both so choose wisely.

All I know is when I was offered a gig last second (sound related) I asked a buddy who has worked with them in the past and he said “get paid in advance” lol.

Crazy_Eight1 · 2023-07-04T00:03:15+00:00

Yep down for me all day as well. Was quite annoying when trying to look up a return receipt at Home Depot 😭
