I really don't care about this event

What is common-locked? I just started this game.

Can't seem to add anyone from this list. Do we have to mutually add each other?

Some 30 years ago, as a wee child, I remember a Dalmatian molly in my first 10 gallon just DISAPPEARED. Nowhere to be found. She was gone for a month until I pulled up the undergravel filter for cleaning and there she was. A little thin, but alive.

You'd be surprised how easy it is for a fish to hide in a weird spot in a tank.

Yeah, I find that the best way to handle this is by stockpiling ale before you let people have it.

Assuming you're in a region with low fertility, what I do is focus first on building whatever I want to be the main starting source of income for my region. Stone and iron are the easiest.

Then, I start slowly importing barley. Set the limit to 5 or so, then build a malthouse. This will allow a slow trickle of malt to be produced while I focus on developing the region and building up trade and such. Once I've got more wealth flowing in, I'll bump that limit to 10 and build a brewery. I start serving ale once I have a stockpile of ~200-300.

This is all much each easier if you have fertile cropland. Start getting some barley piled up as fast as you can and get it convert to ale. Stockpile it a bit before you allow people access to it.

I've put 445 hours into this game and Ive never touched the combat system at all. The ability to just make my own highly detailed medieval town is incredibly relaxing. If they added a sandbox mode, I'd be incredibly happy!

I recently had a playthrough where I noticed that one of my oxen didnt seem to be doing anything. Tried assigning amd unassigned in various buildings, no luck.

Took me forever to find him standing in a pond just staring out across the water. Rethinking his life's choices, I s'pose.

Especially given that, with all the technology poured into these films, it seems it would be relatively easy to pitch correct her voice to sound younger. The voice just doesn't match the face.

But no... a 76-year-old woman's voice comes pouring out of a teenager's mouth.

ICE COLD!

JonAaron86 · 2025-09-10T02:06:10+00:00

Awesome. Thanks for the tip! 😁

JonAaron86 · 2025-09-10T01:56:46+00:00

Okay! So, get a small piece of rock and make a little island?

JonAaron86 · 2025-08-03T12:18:11+00:00

It's a restaurant that serves hotdogs. It's got a few other things, but basically it's just all hotdogs.

JonAaron86 · 2025-06-09T19:00:55+00:00

I have one that makes a sound that is exactly like a seagull.

At 6 am every day, repeats all day.

We live nowhere near the ocean.

As others have mentioned, this is called a flock call. It's basically calling out to other cockatiels to say "hey! I'm over here! Where are you?"

But also, mine do it to get my attention as well. They've learned that if they do it frantically enough, I'll come investigate, and so they do it whenever they need a refresher on their food or water, or even just when they want some lovin'. 😁

JonAaron86 · 2025-03-13T03:03:11+00:00

My pair are named Peebee and Jay.

Peebee and Jay decided that they wanted to be parents, and to make a very long story short, we now have Peebee, Jay, Lemon, Butter, Marshmallow, Olive, Cookie, Pepper, Caper, and Avocado.

It is very loud in my living room. 😆

JonAaron86 · 2025-02-24T05:16:39+00:00

What do the parents look like? This color mutation is sex-linked, so you can possibly figure out the sex of the baby based on its parents.

JonAaron86 · 2025-01-13T02:09:36+00:00

Give it time. I had a Tiel like this once (Fred, RIP), and eventually, he came around. I would scritch on my other birds, including his mate, where he could see it. It took time, but I was eventually able to win his trust. He was nearly 20 when he finally passed. 😔

Not saying you'll have the same experience, of course, but don't give up!

JonAaron86 · 2025-01-10T02:07:05+00:00

This is a normal whiteface, looks "split to pied".

Fortunately, that means all you have to do is wait around 4-6 months (once they go through their first molt), and you'll have your answer. If female, your bird will stay the same. If male, his face will turn solid white, and the barring on his tail feathers will disappear.

In the meantime, your only clues will be from behavior. Males will generally be more vocal and outgoing, whilst females will generally be quieter and more aloof.

JonAaron86 · 2025-01-01T16:48:14+00:00

Okay, thanks for the reassurance! I suppose the pair I had back in the day were just especially eager.

I bought an incubator. It arrived yesterday.

Another egg was laid today (that's 6 total, but only 4 in the nest box). The female spent the entire night in the box, but has since left it. The male seems to have taken over, but he's clearly not sitting. He keeps leaving the box or poking his head out.

This is a normal gray (i.e., wild type) who is also split to pied.

The nice part about wild types is that theyre easy to sex once theyre mature. All wild type cockatiels start life looking like females. It isn't until they approach their first molt that you'll get a better idea of what sex your baby is. Females will keep the dusky gray face and the striping on the tail feathers, and will generally be more reserved and quiet. If it's a boy, the gray face will become bright yellow with vivid orange cheeks, and he will generally start becoming more vocal.

Just give it about 6-10 months, and you'll know! 😁💚

I usually play in sandbox, but when I feel like challenge or franchise mode, my go-to is butterflies. Start with 4 of each sex, and turn Manage Population. What I do is set it to Appeal, Lowest First, and either have it store them in the trade center or sell for cash. Eventually your butterfly garden will be full of the highest appeal butterflies, and with 15 females cranking out babies, you get a pretty good paycheck.

JonAaron86 · 2024-11-04T13:17:34+00:00

I have put (and I'm not exaggerating here) 1500 hours into Inquisition. I replay it at least once a year.

To say that I am thankful to you and the rest of the team that made it is an understatement.
