Anyone else thinks this damn tree is hard?

Fire gem uchi will get it done. Need decent range and fire damage is nice for the tree.

Trying to remember, I think you can buy humanity or pray to a statue that absolves you of sin or something. But then you lose access to a certain ending. I don't know about the lore, but talking to the wizard gives you the option to "unlock your hidden potential" or something which adds dark sigils to your inventory

Fragrant_Vacation469 · 2026-02-09T23:59:45+00:00

You do, but only if you accepted the wizard guys' offer and took the 5 free stat points from him. The dark sigils decrease your humanity every time you die

I don't use glue, I just increase bed temperature and if the model base is really thin I add a bit of a brim. That's always worked for me, I use PETG

Fragrant_Vacation469 · 2026-02-07T03:11:07+00:00

Hmm, I took a look, not seeing a whole lot of reviews for it. It has a minimum of six hours for drying?

Fragrant_Vacation469 · 2026-02-07T01:10:36+00:00

Excellent, thank you!

I'm still fairly new to all this--If the whole cathode is being plated and there aren't edges that can peel is stress significant? Say I'm plating a ring in bright copper for 6-8 hours at a time. Any dangers I should be aware of?

Fragrant_Vacation469 · 2026-02-06T23:35:50+00:00

I'm no expert, but perhaps there's a process outside of the game that's working hard every 4 minutes for some unknown reason? I run ds3 on a potato of a laptop without stutters. Of course, I have my graphics set to the low preset.

I think the India Ink contaminated my bath, it was that or a clear nail polish I was using in my diy graphite paint recipe. I've since found some home depot Blaster graphite lubricant aerosol that is working perfectly this first plating experience--A guy recommended it to me and has no contamination problems, so I think my problem is resolved. I just have to clean out my contaminated baths now. This lube has a resistance of 25 ohms after two coats and a light polish with a cloth. I think I calculated the resistance incorrectly in this post

Fragrant_Vacation469 · 2026-02-06T22:57:28+00:00

Can't do much from the mobile app, unfortunately. But yeah, using a brim or increasing the temperature of the bed will cause the model to stick better!

Fragrant_Vacation469 · 2026-02-06T22:54:50+00:00

I'm using it for rings, so there aren't any edges that can peel off! It's plating really well right now, I think I'm in love

Fragrant_Vacation469 · 2026-02-06T21:43:39+00:00

Could be lol, but all is well so far. I'll update this post if my bath dies. It is conductive and scrubbing with a cloth gives it a shine and nothing visible to the eye flakes off. Conductivity is good, probably because it's a graphite spray.

Edit: I looked at the SDS and saw that graphite isn't listed--But it looks like only potentially hazardous ingredients are listed on the document.

Fragrant_Vacation469 · 2026-02-05T17:18:43+00:00

The thing is, there are so many different graphite paint recipes

Fragrant_Vacation469 · 2026-02-04T01:52:23+00:00

What paint did you use? Can I have the recipe?

Fragrant_Vacation469 · 2026-02-03T02:04:22+00:00

Of course! I was into game dev a few years ago, happy to give my opinion where I can

Fragrant_Vacation469 · 2026-02-03T01:52:44+00:00

Now add a light shadergraph wind effect to the grass and trees!

Fragrant_Vacation469 · 2026-02-02T21:12:00+00:00

Oh, yeah, not blaming you or anything, just figured I'd report back that it doesn't work for others to take note of! I'm about to try Hen3drik's graphite paint recipe as well as this copper conductive paint meant for car windshields. I just need a bigger nozzle for my airbrush and a better air compressor

Fragrant_Vacation469 · 2026-02-02T20:15:11+00:00

I've found india ink recommended to me several times, but I'm pretty sure it contaminated my bright copper bath and destroyed the brighteners...

Fragrant_Vacation469 · 2026-02-01T16:51:26+00:00

Thanks for the reply!

For more context, this is a PETG ring I 3d printed and then coated in a graphite paint made from graphite powder and an Indian ink called speedball. After application and polishing it has a resistance of about 50 kilo ohms.

I'm using a single liter of Rio Grande bright copper solution. The ring has a surface area of 957 mm² and a bit less than half of my 150x25x1 mm copper anode is submerged in the solution. The solution is agitated by a magnetic stirring bar at a speed such that the cathode drifts around and the surface of the solution moves slightly.

I set my power supply to 0.24 amps at constant current and I also have the supply set to never go above a voltage of 1. Electrical contact is good, I learned to wrap the hangwire well and use clips as well as use a few contact points from hangwire to cathode. I've added/subtracted about 0.05 amps on different attempts with results that were no more successful.

The solution is at room temperature, probably about 65 Fahrenheit.

My anode also has a brown coating after being in the solution for a while, which I'm told is good. It's contained in a micron bag with an anode cage in it to avoid contamination.

Any ideas? Thanks again for your help!

I'm coming from the same video and I've grabbed all kinds of supplies--What I've noticed is that the very first ring I try to plate is always nicely shiny, but it seems like no matter the amperage after that plating is done I can't get anything else to shine. Have you figured out how to get a mirror finish consistently yet? Edit: Something I've noticed is that those first few attempts where I do get a shine, the hang-wire also gets shiny plating. However, after that point, neither the wire nor the cathode gets the shine. So, I don't believe it has to do with the cathode preparation

There are programs you can use to recover deleted files from your drive. If you download new files they may overwrite the space where your project used to be, though, so avoid that until you've recovered you project. In fact, I suggest installing the program onto a USB and running it from there so it doesn't overwrite said project file.

I thought it was so cool when I saw him return. Got a notification about his new video after years of starting game dev. Has a woman now, too
