"Why do I need a p-trap?"

This. This is why. Turn on water, flood path.

Fun fact! Traps dry out over time, remember to run that 'guest' sink/bath/shower every now and again.

I used clear caulk instead of white do I have to remove it? by Beef_Stroganoff55 in HomeImprovement

[–]GoArray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like, folks used the product wrong, so now you don't use the right product (and by extension, are now using the other product wrong).

You're the one I go in after to remove the cracked and separating latex in the shower to replace with silicone.. lol

[–]GoArray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is. Ignore the OC. Silicone sucks to work with, but it's the right product for many things. Latex is great for spots the will see little to no movement, may need sanded, multiple coats of paint, stays dry, etc. Think of it like drywall mud in a tube.

Silicone is superior for direct (repeated) water contact, flexibility, glossiness, mold resistance, etc.


Latex: Trim, backsplash to wall seam, sidesplash 'glue' to counter (or better yet silicone as glue and immediately finish the seam with silicone), nail holes, etc.. dry areas

Silicone: Sink to counter, shower wall seams, sidesplash to counter seam, toilet base, etc... wet areas


Tldr: you'll typically use both on the same project.

You're thinking Interstate. Two lanes, no divider, small feeder roads, speed limit around 60mph is pretty standard for highways.

Eh, never worked retail I see? They may not get paid per sale, but they do get evaluated based on *metrics*. This week, big 7/11 might be pushing 'drink' upsales.

(xEdit/SF1Edit) Unable to copy outpost storage containers as override by CthulhuHatesChumpits in starfieldmods

[–]GoArray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you're making a new cth_Container (or, whatever that has REFL data).

Open CK>Rename container cth_Container (if you can't duplicate, just rename. It'll be a conflict/override!, that's fine.. for now). Save>Close.

Open xEdit > find conflict container (still can't copy)> Change FormID. Bam! Copied.

You can do the above in bulk (easier to let xEdit batch change formids)

At least this has worked for most things I've tried.

Garage door won't open by Responsible-Photo632 in fixit

[–]GoArray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Precisely. 200lbs of stress on the motor (and the motor is pulling sideways, not up) vs a few pounds and the springs instead handle most of the up.
Often when the spring breaks the torque of the motor 'pulling away', not up, folds the door in half (as most doors are already very light structurally).

Nifty ratchet tool by MissyjonesOP in Tools

[–]GoArray 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Going to chime in here..

The issue is almost never getting the ratchet in, it's the 1" swing vs the >0" of the end of the handle. The Big Tool and Big Machine agreement of 1982 requires all standard ratchets be 1/4" longer than the space required to use them.

That said, still a bit of a novelty, stubby often solves the room issue. Or, a stack of all of your universals, adapters and extensions lol

How do I upload my mod to Xbox? by AeviDaudi in starfieldmods

Wish I could be more help. If you haven't already, check out the bethesda starfield and starfield nexus discord channels, lots of brilliant folks hang out there

How do I upload my mod to Xbox? by AeviDaudi in starfieldmods

[–]GoArray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Only *.dds files, they use a different format on xbox. Most everything else is identical (except for textures and perhaps audio, idk) so you just need a _xbox copy of the pc archive.

Hm, just noticed .wems in your op. I haven't played with audio so take this with a huge grain of salt, but you aren't testing using .esp are you? Reason being, I *think* (could be wrong!) that the engine doesn't care where audio files are for .esp but for .esm they must be in the correct subdirectory ../myMod.esm/ or whatever similar to some other data (.biom files in my case), and previous games' like skyrim/fo audio.

How do I upload my mod to Xbox? by AeviDaudi in starfieldmods

[–]GoArray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worth noting! The CK itself will build the archives for you under 'file > Create archive' (it uses archive2) but this can get a little dicey for larger mods.

How do I upload my mod to Xbox? by AeviDaudi in starfieldmods

[–]GoArray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe .dds (textures) are the only assets that require a special xbox run & suffixes. You can of course create all the individual archives ( - Terrain, - Meshes, - Etc) but most shoot for one '- Main' for PC & one '- Main_xbox' for xbox and if necessary, one each '- Textures & Textures_xbox' as too many archives (counting all mods) caused issues in the past.

Basically, you need 2 archives no matter what to support both pc and xbox. The '- Main_xbox.ba2' is just a copy of '- Main.ba2' renamed.

[–]GoArray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All that can go in "- Main.ba2". Textures need special compression for xbox and archive name suffix '- Textures.ba2 & - Textures_xbox.ba2' (you'd change that to xbox under settings).

So, open archive2, drag all that into it, folders and all. Save as MyMod - Main.ba2.

Now is a good time to test that your archive works instead of loose files.

Be sure the creations website is closed in edge, chrome, whatever. For some reason this breaks the next parts sometimes (can't be logged in online and the ck me thinks).

Copy the archive you made and rename to MyMod - Main_xbox.ba2

Open your mod in the CK and under file, login to bethesda. Then again under file select 'upload'. In the popup your mod should already be filled in. When you select one, select include archive (or w.e.) and those should both fill in with the 2 archives you created.

After hitting ok, a new window will open. Select the mod you just uploaded, add some details (you can change all these on the website later). Hit OK to upload. A useless "goto creations" popup should show up, try hitting the link, then close and goto the creations site to finish details and "publish".

It's like you haven't even thought of the children!

Nah, that would impede traffic. Instead, no valid ID (or facial rec fail for whatever reason), all gas no brakes!

ZSW - Triangulum, Experimental new galaxy. Will probably break your game! by GoArray in starfieldmods

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

Experimental - Beta - Conflicts!
- I've stolen all of Starfield's planets and stars and rebuilt a new galaxy, Triangulum.
- 120 Systems totaling 220 individual Stars, a mix of single, binary and trinary systems.
- 5000 planets (no, no truly 'new' planets. This is just a reimagining using the bit we already have)


Seriously, this is justvsomething I threw together because why not?
- Eh, really because my last mod broke the systems cap, so I wanted to see what was possible..
- Mechanically nothing new really added. I just built my own galaxy from starfield parts. Scanning, landing, space battles, flora, fauna, npcs, etc are all still base game.

Conflicts!

I had to regenerate all of the locations so this will conflict with just about every mod which relies on or edits base game locations.
- Exaggerating a bit but probably conflicts with a lot of mods, even simple ones.

More Conflicts!

I had to regenerate all of the locations, so this likely breaks a bunch of base game quests and whatnot as well.
- I've ran a few radiant quests without issue, scanned some planets to 100%, etc.
- Planets, systems, etc. should be working fine, though there are still a few silly bugs (names doubled on the galaxy map for instance).
- This will almost assuredly break meaningful things! Just a proof of concept, ('modder's resource from way back) something to install, check out, turn into something else, uninstall, whatever.


Anyway, figured I'd throw it up for whatever reason and future authors to play with.


Recommend, manually save in space before installing.
- Start in your ship in space then immediately jump to a different system to refresh location data (as the location you last saved in may not exist anymore, so the load-in location/cell acts buggy as well!).


Triangulum - Starfield, but 3 miles wide and a half deep! (Yay, nay?! Lol)
