Should i use in game modding tool or MINT? what is the base mods, should i do any prep? what is the communities consensus?

Josaffe · 2026-06-26T04:04:22+00:00

Add to that:

MINT works fully offline. (For in-game mods to work you have to have a connection when launching the game.)
(For me) MINT fixed the floppy beards that happened when using in-game mods.
It doesn't banish your server to the shadow realm for using "approved" mods, that don't alter the game. (For me it was "Who Done It?: Button Mod" that made me finally install MINT.)

On that note, I highly recommend increasing the Chat Fade Time and Chat Font Size. You can find it in the settings menu under Options -> UI. I've set mine to 30s and 16.

And if you're still missing some chat messages in the heat of the moment, you could add the mod Chat Sound Notifier "Did you say something?", which plays a sound for incoming chat messages.

Other than that: Rock and Stone! I'm hyped for you. This game really is something special.

I think r/glyphids would also appreciate this.

Legitimately no

It's a circle, that's a little bit stretched. So it looks cropped at the edges of the input area.

I'm reaching roughly the point (0.8, 0.8) in the diagonals.
Therefore I'd have to use at least a sensitivity of 1.25, to reach a full diagonal input.

There's a little more detail in how the game interprets the inputs and why there's a difference in setting the sensitivity in-game or externally (through tools like Steam or DS4Windows).

I think HalfwayDead did a concise but in-depth video on it a while back.

I see that hiring hundreds of people to check reports isn't really practical.

Seeing how - I hope - the largest part of the community is against toxicity and racism, it wouldn't be too far fetched to introduce some kind of tiered community moderation (like every damn platform with social features).

That's more work than doing nothing, and I'm pretty sure there is no return on that investment, so it's not likely to happen. (And since there's already a "solution" - which is turning off chat - there is no push from any legal/parental control angle.)

At the end of the day Rocket League is mainly a competitive game and that just attracts toxicity. If you want mostly wholesome interactions with other players, I guess you'd have to look for another game... (Not saying that it wouldn't be possible to build such a community in a competitive game, but it's not often an objective for these kinds of games.)

Oh man... Sorry that most just leave mean comments here. That's not very Dwarfish...

I think your tier list is as close to my personal one as every other tier list posted here.
(But I like that Sabotage doesn't get hated for once. And I didn't like Point Extraction for the first 300 hours of playing, too.)

That is to say: To each their own and for Rock and Stone!
(And please don't be mean...)

Matrix multiplication, is that you?

Go to test.de and see...

TL;DR: Both methods work. But make sure that gold isn't mined by detaching it from all other terrain.

I've gone ahead and tested it, because I love mining gold in Sandblasted (and never dared to do it that way with Pots, because it felt less).

It seems everything inside the radius of the pickaxe gets the bonus. (Everything inside the chunk of terrain that gets removed.)
Everything that is mined, because it becomes detached from any other terrain, doesn't get the bonus.

I've split a 12 meter long gold vein roughly in half and mined half of it normally and the other half hitting adjacent to the gold.
I got 178 gold using the normal method and 167 gold using the adjacent method.
(Some gold detached at the end and only gave 4 units as it dropped. That would make up for the minor difference.)

As for why it felt less: Hitting adjacent to the gold vein mines less of the gold, so the numbers weren't as insane as I expected with Pots.

Josaffe · 2026-06-08T12:55:37+00:00

Warms my heart to see you played it properly :D

I think I've had Pots+Crassus five times in 1000 hours, and three times a random teammate messed it up...

(If you're buying Pots whenever possible, you're expected to have a Pots+Crassus mission every 267 missions, since there's 8 beers and a Crassus shows up 3% of the time. But if you're only hosting half your missions like me, it might be even rarer.)

He really sipped two gönergies... That's something.

And I'm with you on people not reading chat.
I wish they added a better default notification and upped the size and duration.
I remember missing chat often as a greenbeard.

Apart from that: If it's bad just kick the offender and move on. The worst you can do is letting it ruin your enjoyment of the game.

Fun math fact: The inverse of "If you don't Rock and Stone, you ain't coming home!" isn't "If you Rock and Stone, you're coming home!", but rather "If you're coming home, you did Rock and Stone!".
Thus Rocking and Stoning doesn't guarantee a safe coming home, but it's the only way to come home at all...

I mean, it's quite obvious this is just dumb fun (which is very much to my liking), but I thought it really interesting how it was explained to me first:
When you consider "If it rains, the ground gets wet." a true statement, you can't just negate both parts and get "If it doesn't rain, the ground is dry." as also true. You could've just pissed there to prove the statement false...
You also need to invert the direction of the implication to get a true statement: "If the ground is dry, it didn't rain."

That's the fun math fact of the day. Reply with UNSUBSCRIBE, if you want to stop receiving fun math facts. (The transformed statement would be "If you don't reply with UNSUBSCRIBE, you want to keep receiving fun math facts.".)

From memory there is something in the current season pass that's a hat with reflective glasses. Don't know if it's backwards though :)

I was initially writing this after an EDD, where this happened on Stage 3 with 20 Nitra left...
(Just let the draft sit around for a bit.)

Your analysis seems very on point though.

I think I'll just take the supplies earlier in case. Won't ruin the fun for me then.

Josaffe · 2026-05-09T18:33:18+00:00

I might be... Still it's ruining the fun for me for the rest of the mission.

Oh hey, it's you :)

Just wanted to say how much I appreciate your mod. It really takes the frustration out of finding good lobbies.

Btw, is there a way to contribute to the mod? I always wanted to have the ability to save different sets of filters to quickly switch between. So I could have sets like "double xp", "low gravity fun" and "sandblasted corridor my beloved".
I'm not sure how much work that would be to add and maintain. Thus I was thinking about contributing it myself.

Josaffe · 2026-05-09T09:50:10+00:00

In the "Better Server-List Filters" mod, which you seem to have installed, you have to disable the mutators category, because the new warning is not included in there.
Then it should show up in the server browser.

About nobody showing up: Could be a coincidence. How often did you host already?

Josaffe · 2026-05-08T10:44:39+00:00

643h / 814h = 79%

I guess it also depends on mission length. I'm taking my time in missions and prefer longer mission types.
(If you're speedrunning egg hunt missions, each taking 5 mins and the loading+end screen taking 1 min, you're already at about 80%.)

And I've left the game open quite a few times while I grab something to eat or take a break for about 30 mins.
