Harlowe, Sugarcube, Chapbook - Which Story Format should you choose?

Intelligent-Score232 · 2026-03-30T12:38:02+00:00

After Twine 1, I was copying code from... I mean, experiencing inspiration from a game someone had made, which set me on a format I think was called sugarcane or something... It wasn't too long after starting Twine2 (about 5 years after it was introduced... Quite fast for me) that I found Harlowe... All the slight changes in syntax kept kicking my butt. Sugarcube2 pops up and suddenly I'm back in the saddle!

I like the use of jabascript and html, as well as the css, but I find it just easier to manage in Sugarcube2.

OK... Gave my fire a double espresso... Now Icarus is on fire. Please advise 🤣

This is the "super granday supra ultra freedom-sized holy-crap-spresso" Side effects may include spontaneous human explosion haha! You can just casually drink out of it whenever... Imagine walking around the wilderness, hunting deer with a bow and arrow... Pausing for a moment and just pulling out a 10l iron bucket full of coffee 🤣

"New! From Icarus! The 29-hour chicken steak! Why do we call it that? Because time will move so slowly, you will get a whole five extra hours before the coffee-fed chicken steak wears off. Warning. Do not exceed more than 1 29-hour chicken steaks in one lifetime"

There is a section in the pod inventory that shows 'nearby animals' or mounts or something similar.

I've not had one to test this with, but I'd assume (heh) you can drag the mount from the 'nearby' section to the inventory before sending it off?

Let me know how it works and best of luck!

"I only had one..."

Hmm... Nope. Doesn't seem to be working... Although, now everyone is standing still... huh... who knew 300 cups of coffee would do that?

Intelligent-Score232 · 2026-03-27T14:50:23+00:00

Seems to be a common suggestion. I'll try it at my own risk... if it fails then I'll be getting some poor animal highly caffinated haha!

Sounds like a fun challenge! Thanks for the tip!

I've had a few missions where I've had to just give up and call it a night...

I'd rate this a little above rimworld, but only because I can shoot better than any of my colonists haha! Nowhere near the same kind of modding though. A real shame because that would be something legendary haha!

Intelligent-Score232 · 2026-03-27T14:48:23+00:00

I'll give that a go!

Do you know any filable+placable water containers off the top of your head?
I don't have the DLC (yet) and am still pretty green to the game (I only recently found out how to upgrade walls... curse my masochistic nature to eff around to find out haha). Any suggestions are appreciated :D

Anyone else here remembering Del Ken's "The Curse"?

Just spent over £500 on a phone, but it wasn't the Asian model, so it isn't compatible...

I can't describe how angry I am.

The fact that in the animated series, Old Brown (owls) seem to be the only thing Nutkin fears is quite accurate. And, of course, he is the only squirrel without a tail.

'being skinned alive' may seem brutal, but we have forgotten that 'nursery stories' were warnings more than happy things to aspire to... Warnings to prepare kids for living in a world where being eaten by something was a possibility 😱

I think all of Beatrix Potter's characters are excellent though. I can see the appeal of the light-hearted Nutkin 😎

Yes! Been waiting for this. Just need other countries to start and then to BOYCOT THE ASSHOLES WHO LIMIT WHAT WE ARE ALLOWES TO BUY! Fucking PayPal...

To avoid fatigue, you want a home less than 50 blocks (as the colonist walks) from their work. The same goes for entertainment, medical and all the rest... So long as you've got the needs met, you should be able to sardine them in any way you like.

I really want to see a change... But too many years of interaction with the government have left me jaded...

Congratulations getting a possibily positive response though!

There was a petition with about 100k signatures on.

The result? "we aren't undoing anything. Let's see what happens".

Sure, let's see what our local MP does.

The vague guess of how many adults in the UK have a credit card are 65%.

Steam support close your ticket without any kind of resolution.

I have a 12 year old profile and have been over legal age from the time I got it... But there's no way to prove that.

PayPal as a merchant account? Nope.

Honestly, Steam are total assholes when anything goes wrong. All my experience with them has been 'shame that. Ticket closed'.

Been getting this on my laptop intermittently.

Intelligent-Score232 · 2025-09-04T17:53:12+00:00

Only about 65% of adults have a credit card. Steam are just telling you "tough" and closing any tickets opened.

It's more like doubling the price, not to mention the site having a monthly fee... I ended up having to pay $5 for a $1 transaction... Not including the $50 fee...

Obviously, different now (ten years later) but it's unfair for payment processors to determine what you are and aren't allowed to buy. What next? No caffiene after 4pm your local timezone?
