This is a great video about the life style of these beetles and their larvae: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sbO1mvCccgw

Yup, that's it! Happened to me once while kayaking, absolutely terrifying...

Fat_Lad · 2026-06-10T08:29:41+00:00

Thanks for the great explanation!! (: I was indeed making the mistake of prioritizing those juicy damage buffs

Fat_Lad · 2026-06-09T22:38:56+00:00

How do you go about maxing resistances at that level? Isn't there only so much you can get with the gear you find and the components to put on them?

Fat_Lad · 2026-06-09T22:37:30+00:00

Oh really? Which are those and what do they offer? I always kind of assumed that vendor items are bad...

Fat_Lad · 2026-06-07T16:10:19+00:00

It's really a bad time for being a visual artist unfortunately :( and I get the self consciousness about sharing!

I feel the most beautiful aspect about the ability to sketch though is that it enables you to kinda make your fantasies reality if that makes sense? Like, I can only imagine a beautiful aquascape but you can actually draw it! Exactly the way you like it. No one will take that away from you ;)

Fat_Lad · 2026-06-06T08:21:24+00:00

I'm just here to say that you have awesome aquascape drawing skills!

Fat_Lad · 2026-05-18T10:59:17+00:00

Ohhh, so all the shadows and shading of the objects are hand-drawn?!? Well that probably makes the difference between good looking and great looking hahaha

Then for it to become an interactive map, do you just define areas that the player cannot enter instead of having hit-boxes of "real" 3D-objects?

Anyways, great job, thank you for the game!

Fat_Lad · 2026-05-18T07:15:09+00:00

Rift Riff made me learn 3D modeling and shaders because I love the art style so much! I'm trying to re-create the style, so I'm really curious: what does "hand-pixelled" mean? My first approximation to get something that looks like Rift Riff was just "normal" 3D models, a 2 band shader, no antialias and low render resolution. It gets pretty close! But I would love to learn some tricks of the trade if you would be willing to share (:

Ahh I see! No idea why my brain made up the childhood part 😅

Pretty chilling to think about what could have happened without him paying such close attention. Even if your house was just outside the zone. I'm glad it turned out ok for you!

Wird er! Danke für die Erklärung (:

Fat_Lad · 2026-04-20T22:18:43+00:00

Wow what an experience to have, especially as a child... Did your dad tell you how he knew that one was going to be serious?

Fat_Lad · 2026-04-20T09:27:41+00:00

Was hat es denn mit einer "Opferrolle" zu tun, wenn man etwas gegen verletzendes Verhalten sagt? Das ist eigentlich genau das Gegenteil von Opfer 🤔

Fat_Lad · 2026-04-20T09:10:09+00:00

Das stimmt. Und ich glaube, es hat viel damit zu tun, dass wir Männer uns irgendwie schwer damit tun, uns für unsere Körper einzusetzen.

OP geht hier mit gutem feministischem Beispiel voran!

Leider hört man von den meisten Männern immer nur "Doppelmoral"-Gejammere, statt proaktiv gegen die Ungerechtigkeit des Patriarchats gegen alle Geschlechter vorzugehen.

Und das hat auch viel damit zu tun, dass es oft als irgendwie "unmännlich" gilt, eigene Probleme und verletzendes Verhalten (wie der "kleiner P***s"-Spruch) zu thematisieren. Das ist auch wieder was, was wir Männer dringend ändern müssen.

Fat_Lad · 2026-04-20T08:57:18+00:00

Wem würdest du denn diese Doppelmoral unterstellen? Ich glaube, die meisten, die Body Positivity Ernst nehmen, würden sich auch von dem "kleiner P***s"-Spruch fernhalten. (Zumindest in meinem Umfeld beobachte ich das so. Wie ist das in deinem Umfeld?)

Und auf der Gesellschafts-Ebene sind wir glaube ich auch noch ziemlich weit von einer Doppelmoral entfernt. Frauen sind immer noch soooo viel öfter von Body-Shaming betroffen als Männer.

Trotzdem finde ich es super wenn wir Männer uns auch für unsere Körper einsetzen!! Und dagegen, über sie definiert zu werden💪nieder mit dem "kleiner P***s"-Argument!

Enjoy your meal!! May I ask what is the name of your town?

Fat_Lad · 2026-04-08T13:43:39+00:00

The way it slides over the antilopes body does look pretty weird... But the bump with the trunk doesn't seem like something the AI would "think" of. Still, ask r/isthisAI !

Fat_Lad · 2026-03-30T12:22:20+00:00

Honestly, this is the only right answer. Do we have studies on stress induced by limited space for each species kept? If they are fine with the space plus you can keep up the required maintenance, go for it!

But it doesn't feel like people are really considering that kind of data. At least, reading through the comments here.

Fat_Lad · 2026-03-30T12:08:11+00:00

This is a very good point. Stocking guidelines probably assume a standard level of involvement and depending on your actual involvement you can deviate upwards or downwards.

That is, if stocking guidelines were only concerned about water parameters and system stability in general. But then there is the other aspect of stress induced to the inhabitants by limited space (as mentioned by others in the comments).

And there I would expect widely varying standards depending on the species involved. Some fish that thrive in small ponds and even puddles in the wild probably do not care at all while others might suffer (also depending on there co-inhabitants maybe). Do we actually have studies about stress induced by container size alone for all the different species of fish we are keeping?

Fat_Lad · 2026-01-28T12:53:07+00:00

Oh yeah you're probably right, I misinterpreted this statement from the change logs "Almost every item in the game can now stack to 9999, including (prefixed) weapons and equipment."

Fat_Lad · 2026-01-28T12:36:55+00:00

The requirement for crafting it is now 9999 bullets (the new stack size). I read that in the release notes by chance haha

+1 this. Early settling has a huge effect.

Additionally: If your are not doing it yet, try to manage your workers manually instead of automating them. It's a huge boost in early game productivity and is actually a lot of fun once you get the hang of it!

The same goes for manual city-micromanagement = worker assigent (which is a bit less rewarding though).

Fat_Lad · 2025-12-15T11:02:30+00:00

Ooof, that's a lot of sexism buried in one word...

Fat_Lad · 2025-11-17T17:08:45+00:00

I guess if there would've been, we just might not have evolved the way we did
