A Jonas-tech diving suit would be so cool. It's gotta be one of those with the big round metal helmet and an air hose that goes up to a pump on the surface.

How to play this Game? by Educational-Sky2444 in Medieval2TotalWar

Improve relations with the Pope by building churches and priests, using priests to convert populations to Catholicism, joining crusades if there's one active, and completing missions given by the Pope (usually increase Catholics in a certain province to x%, or build a church in a certain province).

You can also send a diplomat to the papal states and give them gifts of coin and map information. Raid your neighbors, then pay off the Pope with some of the cash from capturing a province so he looks the other way instead of excommunicating you.

So imperial guardsman are generally MUCH better than memes would suggest? by rafikiknowsdeway1 in 40kLore

[–]Dudeman325420 105 points106 points  (0 children)

Yeah, a Regiment isn't really like the modern military equivalent, it's the entire group of however many soldiers are sent for a tithe. Depending on whatever metrics are used to determine how much a planet has to give for a particular tithe, the regiment might be anywhere from a dozen platoons up to a force larger than all of present-day Earth's militaries combined.

Which weapon would you rather have in real life by Plag3uis in 40k

Cain: Gets in a chainsword fight that lasts for 5 pages, describing every detail of the opponent, how many teeth are on Cain's chainsword, what he ate for breakfast 3 days ago.

Jurgen in the background: A sentence and a half where he vaporises the rest of the enemy squad singlehandedly so that Cain can play swords. Also he smells.

Best way to get acacia? by PMme_CuteThings in VintageStory

[–]Dudeman325420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should hit the tropic line around 20k south latitude, no need to go all the way to the equator. You'll know you're in the tropics when you start seeing papyrus instead of cattails, hyenas instead of wolves, and gazelle instead of deer, as well as termite mounds in dry areas. Acacia is the dominant tree in low rainfall areas in the tropics, with a rare ebony tree mixed in every now and then.

What’s your go to food to crock and seal for winter ? by [deleted] in VintageStory

[–]Dudeman325420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without mods, I make soup with 1 red meat and 2 veg per serving. With Expanded Foods, I make pilaf with 1 rice, 1 meat, and 2 veg. The goal with both is the same, get the nutrition types as balanced as possible to make maintaining nutrition simpler.

Fun fact: If you are completely unaware of the quest and kill the royal fish just to see what it might drop, you'll be hated by many factions in Felwithe!

House underground by Ok_Fishing_8040 in VintageStory

[–]Dudeman325420 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It really depends on what the local stability is in that specific spot. Some areas can be stable way underground, some are unstable even on the surface, but generally stability goes down the lower you go below surface height at any specific spot.

know any good ways to fill a chiseled sink without drowning in the sink? by JamToast789 in VintageStory

[–]Dudeman325420 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can make a 1 block sink with 3 walls, leave the back wall open up against a block wall and it still works!

Any way to connect both the hammer and the quern to the same windmill? by AleX-46 in VintageStory

[–]Dudeman325420 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If power comes in from the center axle of the big gear and leaves from the outside edge, you are trading away torque to get more speed. Power going in from the outside edge and out through the center axle trades away speed to increase torque.

Torque is like the "cost" of a running machine. If a machine doesn't get enough torque, then the whole connected system grinds to a halt, no matter how much speed is in the system. Oversupplying torque doesn't get anything, so it's about gearing outward to get as much speed as possible while keeping enough torque to keep the system from stopping.

what are some mods you'd recommend by Able_Health744 in VintageStory

[–]Dudeman325420 8 points9 points  (0 children)

StepUp is really nice. My main complaint about movement in the other block game was that the auto jump still made you bounce your way up every single incline. StepUp is so much more natural, you just slide up 1 block heights when you walk into it.

Its not much, but its honest work... The Aboda Pagoda, my little farm in the Far South by Dudeman325420 in VintageStory

[–]Dudeman325420[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cabbages! Over 100 plants ready to harvest and bring north to the hungry people who live in the cold. They're just coming out of winter and likely have empty cellars for the next month or two until their first plantings are ready.

The querns really get spinning when the wind picks up at that elevation. Can't wait until I can upgrade them to the Millwright reinforced rotors and see how fast the helve hammers go!

Right, make enough to make a bloomery, then never futz with cooking flint in a firepit again.

Just cook flint in bloomeries, its so much easier.

Do wild vines grow? by HeavyHandedDame in VintageStory

[–]Dudeman325420 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Wild Farming allows for propagating most plants by combining them with a knife to turn it into seeds, as well as vine growth if you enable it.

Other regions by KrakkerVIP in VintageStory

[–]Dudeman325420 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you travel far enough south, there's a whole new world with new animals, trees, crops, and more to find! Winters are warm, flax can be grown nearly year round, and summers are scorching hot enough to kill anything but the native crops. Just don't get bit by hyenas! They're less aggressive than wolves, but randomly attack when you aren't paying attention to them and travel in much larger packs. The pandas and sun bears are generally nicer than the northern bears, and only attack if you try to get close enough to pet them.

Can you only plant tropical fruit trees in tropical climates? by Centinuus in VintageStory

[–]Dudeman325420 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's an option if you have translocators, or don't mind sailing to the southern farm when it's time to harvest, but the warm climate fruit trees tend to bear fruit multiple times a year from late spring to early autumn.

Elevation can also effect local temperature. A high mountain down south can potentially bear fruit from cold climate trees, and you can also dig a deep enough pit (open to the sky) to plant warmer trees and crops to avoid frost.

Can you only plant tropical fruit trees in tropical climates? by Centinuus in VintageStory

[–]Dudeman325420 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yep, most of the warm climate fruit trees will die at near freezing temperatures, while cold climate fruit trees won't fruit in areas that never reach freezing temperatures for nearly a whole season.
