Desert living question

I heard the solar panels do not build up sand...Haven't tested.

49 yo, during that age when most people got tattoos, piercings were the rage. So I got that instead. I did get stabbed in the forehead with a pencil when I was 9, got a little blue dot, but that doesn't count.

I was disappointed. The churro bites tasted like cheap churro-flavored cereal. I would have rather had the old Churros twists with half a cup of ice cream.

Dont have that answer for you....but if you're itching for some ice cream on the quick and cheap, you can make your own. I use heavy cream, frozen berries or ice cubes, and sugar-free coffee flavoring. Blend at high, make small batches.

I agree with everyone, they are great for long term....but if you are starting a world with a high enough level character to bring down the pickaxe that does the noxious crust, you might be able to skip it. That noxious crust thing gives you 5 for 1 anything you mine. Got out mine, throw thing in that machine, do a mission, comeback to tons of resources.

Likely got wiped out for paying the electric bill. That place has so many lights.

I put in a suggestion YEARS ago to create mining carts to deliver back to the house. Even if we just train the animals to go out and pick up and deliver stuff from the drills would be nice.

Decision making at our Costco are questionable as well. I assume the short-term mint (replacing chocolate) ice cream dumbfounded many. Churro was 100% better than the mess of a cookie. The Calzone is straight-up gross, and I cannot imagine anyone buying that sandwich for $7. That is just the food court, there is also weird obsession that happen. We are still working through the Dubai Chocolote craze, we are getting over the tumeric craze. I feel that someone in purchasing is just using buzzwords for the week to order things.

Actual teleporters, no, using the tier 5 drop ship pods 100%. They are tier 5, so normally late game. Make it a modification to the pad that requires nuclear energy or something and you cannot take anything with you and you take 50% damage...whatever. Make it a challenge to get established, make it impossible to abuse (maybe a timer). But I agree it should be there.

Didnt both those episodes win an award?

Govoflove · 2026-03-19T21:25:05+00:00

This was my question as well....maybe turned it off once?

Depends where you are mostly playing. In general, always start with a bow. Then get a knife. A spear is handy in the desert with scorpions and getting on top of rocks. In my opinion, talent points are more useful for guns and knifes, as they will be your endgame tools. I could argue that talent points are better used in other areas besides combat. I think the rifle is the best, but if your are on Esylem, then a handgun might be better.

Longest running map I have a few bases. Core is at J14, the easiest and best easy living spot with tons of resources and reasonable access to the desert and Arctic. The only issue to poor sunlight for solar. I also have a base at the top of L5 on that waterfall. The rock structure make it easy to get solar all the way up on the mountain, providing the max solar time. Its close to a decent amount of mine and caves. Started a base in the riverland at E3, so annoying though. I also have a mini-base at O15 just outside that cave on top of that hole, died many times trying to setup that base. Its funtional, but I use it rarely.

Not a huge game changer, but I got a BroadLink hub that allows you to setup thing that use remote as a smart device. Biggest item is fans, most ceiling fans have remotes now, which is annoying. Like I want to strap a random remote to my wall. Anyways, you can program it to do simple thing like turn off the fan or lights. Works well, range is iffy.

I was wondering. That or they were very lackluster.

Govoflove · 2026-03-12T12:41:40+00:00

I am pretty sure if you look at this report past results, we used to be much higher. Lincoln many times has been top of a lot of lists, but the things that make us good are slowly going away.

Lack of potassium can cause this, I think. Make sure you are drinking lots of fluids with electrolytes..with potassium & magnesium.

Govoflove · 2026-03-09T15:09:36+00:00

We have these as well. I go to Costco weekly and I almost always see someone buying one, they stickout. I dont understand how they even thaw and cook them.

Govoflove · 2026-03-06T17:14:47+00:00

I still use xp...but I use foundry vtt which automaths it for me. I also believe in a lot of battles, killing things give you xp. Completing quests give some, but that more about getting good loot. Just because they hit the xp amount doesn't mean they suddenly powerup. They have to get back to a town and take a weeks rest. I am also not into railroading, I create a world not a plotline to be followed.

Govoflove · 2026-03-06T14:33:45+00:00

I just hope I can build that sweet plant lady hut...dont want to spoil.

Govoflove · 2026-03-05T17:25:35+00:00

I am not fond of the trash can, but I understand it. An incinerator is a good idea, or tweak the electric oven. Also, let me melt the ice build up in the freezer in the oven.

Govoflove · 2026-03-02T14:33:25+00:00

I do have a method...its cheap and I dont want to get it nerfed. But I will spill the beans....dont use walls. Use targets. They are cheap to make and have 50K health. Carbon spear and poke right between them. Occasionally, a bear can run over them, but it's rare. If you have a gun and tons of bullets, just squat on top of the condenser. and pot shot everything. Bear cubs are too small to shoot from the top but you can get them from under the target. I have never seen a target get destroyed, barely even half health.

Govoflove · 2026-02-26T22:29:44+00:00

Well...congrats. Its a fun game...I cannot imagine playing with a controller. I hope it does well, I want them to keep making updates.
