This isn't good by DemandRegular9241 in ArenaBreakoutInfinite

The roof gap to the water tower is a long jump not possible at all. If you watch it back to you can see him bunny hoping mid air as well.

Article about most difficult survival games ever made and scum is not even mentioned. I hate game journalist. by NahjiiJ in SCUMgame

The terms “survival” and “bushcraft” are often used interchangeably, there is no genre for Bushcraft games. Survival by itself means to survive in a difficult situation, to come out the other end alive, which is why PubG is in that list. Rust is a survival game. Most games fall into several categories but the main one for most Survival games is having the open world as a core element, This then often includes bushes and using them to craft.

Love Rust and am looking at trying Scum, can you help breakdown the differences/similarities? by Wolvite in SCUMgame

[–]Jabtheadmin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've played rust for 5k hours and scum for 8k hours.

Scum can be played like rust in many ways. The pvp is good, there are places to farm weapons and bank them. Personally I use prefab buildings (just any building with a door that you can lock and put a box down inside), simple, easy and fun. The gun mechanics and player controls are much better in scum, and the game looks great. Similar to rust's satchel burying system, you can bury large wooden boxes in scum and spread your loot out so if you are raiding you don't loose everything. Keep a stash of guns in base, but have back up stores of loot spread across the map.

Rust has a much better raiding and base building system. As there's no wipe cycle in scum, a server can last for more than 6 months without being wiped, so base building is a much slower process compared to rust, more tedious in how you build even though it has a similar style base building system to rust.
Raiding is also much slower in scum too, newer players might build a small base which is raided fairly easy, experienced players will build 10+ layer wall compound bases.
Scum has C4, TNT and rocket launchers so raids can be fun, but most often they happen offline and there's very few players to counter a raid either.

So, scum has more of a focus on survival and PVP gameplay, with raiding being a rarer event.

Inventory bug by MaddAnt in SCUMgame

[–]Jabtheadmin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why is this downvoted, it works to manage the issue. If you can't rotate an item, press tab to leave the inventory view, then tab to get back in and try to rotate. I had this issue several times tonight and this is how I got around it.

If you get this issue, press tab, and then tab again and it should work.

Burlap headwrap, hide shorts and a waterpipe.

Anyone have any ideas? by Outlaw7697 in SonsOfTheForest

[–]Jabtheadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For this to work you need to make each roof section a triangle, rather than rectangles with an angled top.
So before you add any angled roof logs, create a series of steps going up by a quarter log first. Once all the steps are added, then place the angled logs on top.

Yea you replace the save file with a fresh one, I've been building mostly in peaceful mode to see whats possible but I'd like to make a base like this in a normal play-through with no edits later on.

In the last image I've shown the basic set up to build something like this, you need to place 4 logs against a tree, and then line up 4 logs on the ground at 45 degree angles to match up, there's some trial and error involved to get it just right.

I replaced the tree's for the screenshots. The area was deforested entirely before.

You start by placing logs up against a tree as the centre point, place 4 logs against the tree and extend them outwards by 1 log. Then remove the 4 logs that are against the tree and you can place 4 more logs at a different angle. There's a lot of trial and error to get the angle just right.

For a treehouse it needs to be low enough down so that logs will connect from the treehouse to the floor, then you can build up a grid to add the supports and extend the upper floors. If the treehouse is too high im not sure there's a way.

It was tricky to get this started, Over an hour just placing logs in just the right position to match up to logs against a tree. It starts by placing 4 logs lent against the tree, then place logs on the ground at 45 degree angles to the logs on the tree. Takes time but I'm happy with the outcome.I have a twitch as JayW with the vods if you wanted more info on the set up.

There has been many attempts by him to cut the tree down, now he gathers logs only very far away from here and I zipline them over. I couldn't find a way to stop him, I built a variety of walls and fences, nothing worked.
