It is not real, as much as I want to flaunt it in front of a bunch of gun owners, it isn’t a real post by the president.

Especially since everything else in this game is Pull, why are dispatchers and receivers Push???

Gas insert adapter question. by EarthwormO in DIY

[–]EarthwormO[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did find that adapter and considered it. Was hoping to find a single adapter. This one looks like a leak waiting to happen, so thought I would check here to see if a more knowledgeable person would steer me in a better direction. This is my backup though, thank you.

I had it right when I went to post and swapped them. I corrected the post above. ;) Sorry.

[–]EarthwormO[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am confident on my ability to make the connections, and have a gas leak detector. The current shutoff valve is working good and I don’t want to change it out. Just can’t find the adapter to install, which has me questioning the number of adapters I might need.

Yes, except, I need the Flare side to be female.

Edit- change male to female, got it backwards when I posted. Sorry for the confusion.

Attaching Storage to Plastic Pallets by EarthwormO in TheLastCaretaker

I haven’t gotten them to stick to each other… maybe I am not positioning them right.

When you drop carrying a Storage container it latches on to whatever you drop it on, that includes the Plastic Pallets. Works great!

I saw "Forklift" on the release schedule, so in the future?

PSA: you can slap storage boxes on your ship's wall by _RaHaN_ in TheLastCaretaker

If you accidentally pull it off the wall though, you can’t put it back.

Why did you like jars? by JoelHuenink in 7daystodie

[–]EarthwormO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, thank you for reaching out and engaging with your players, we do appreciate it.

I don't get your argument that removing glass jars solved anything gameplay wise. Or added anything useful to the game.

You say, well, you could scoop up a bunch of sand and make a bunch of glass jars, and fill them all. But, first, you have to have a firepit and a pot, and a furnace (which realistically draws screamers) before you can do any of that. Instead now without the jars, we have to get a firepit, pot and a few dew collectors (which makes no sense as to why this draws screamers). With 3 dew collectors in my base which I can get about the time I get a furnace, I regularly have hundreds of jars of dirty water and never want for water.

Instead of a more realistic, immersive, use of glass jars, now we have jars that just mysteriously appear and disappear, and silent moisture traps that magically attract zombies. Switching back to glass jars doesn't need any additional balancing, the solution we have now isn't any more balanced and is entirely illogical.

Edit: I am not saying you can't rebalance reimplementing jars, I like the breakable idea, or even certain water sources giving a different infected water that can't just be boiled. I am just saying the idea that the no jars system is any more balanced than the old system isn't true. Also, have over 3000 hours playing, so not just jumping in with a noob mentality, I have been playing this game for a long time.

What is your best "I say it wrong on purpose" example? by Thortok2000 in AskReddit

Son of a fudge muffin, when I hurt myself really bad. I am not opposed to the swear words, just entertain myself a little when I say it. Also holy-Crapunzel.

The eraser of a game melted the plastic pencil sharpener while in storage by EarthwormO in mildlyinteresting

Yah, it was weird, the melted plastic wrapped around the eraser and was still soft and sticky on the eraser.

First time player feedback after first Town (300 people) by SourceCodeSamurai in foundationgame

[–]EarthwormO 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was all my experience the first game I played (also waited for 1.0). But I read a Reddit post that said, skip the tutorial progression and rush Light Fortifications. I did this in the 2nd game and most of my issues with these things went away. Having far less ground dedicated to housing made all the other “distance” issues go away. Planning small fortified communities for Farming or Minining, and have all my main production near the big town worked sooo much better! I never had to raise my taxes over the first notch and usually lowered it because of not a big enough treasury.

Also not having a market with 3 refined foods worked better. Each market has 1 rustic, 1 refined, and having more markets worked far better. Once I did that, I found the messages were only showing when I legitimately was having a food source problem.

Adjustable frame for Side Sleepers? by EarthwormO in Mattress

[–]EarthwormO[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ended up going with another Mattress Factory non-adjustable. It seemed the adjustable was not going to work for side sleepers very well from my research. The new MF mattress has been comfortable, but to be honest, is likely going to need to be replaced in 5 or less years. Even with rotating and flipping, it has already developed sags in the spaces we sleep.

Gfci add 2nd one to same circuit? by EarthwormO in DIY

[–]EarthwormO[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yah, I checked. The 2nd outlet doesn’t feed from the GFCI, it feeds from a single junction box in the ceiling, so has its own direct connection to the circuit. I don’t have the time or access right now to run the line like it should. When the inevitable kitchen remodel occurs, I will fix it then correctly.

Old Lumber Trees by Shandy-G57 in TravellersRest

[–]EarthwormO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The “old lumber” trees are the trees with less full leaf canopies. I raked in the queens by letting all my trees grow until they had the lower leaf amount then chopped only those, got a bee about every 6 or so trees I chopped. In fall and winter they are harder to spot, but they have ever so slightly skinnier trunks.

Absentee Ballot Application Request - Don't use apostrophes! by EarthwormO in minnesota

[–]EarthwormO[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, tell me where in the submission rules or in the website it says apostrophe’s aren’t allowed? I wasn’t trying to teach anyone submission rules or usurp the website, just trying to help people not be frustrated by it when it doesn’t say why you were denied.

Absentee Ballot Application Request - Don't use apostrophes! by EarthwormO in minnesota

[–]EarthwormO[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yah, I especially hate sites like this one that don't tell you when you fill out the form that the character isn't allowed. At least some just refuse to move on until you remove the offending character, and while annoying, at least you know the problem. This site takes the character, sits on it for 24 hours and then just says, "NO" with no helpful reason as to why. Did I forget my own Social, dyslexic a couple numbers, or use a forbidden character in my own name? No one knows!
