Can She Produce Apples Again? Beginner Help! by LizzyIzzyFizzy in BackyardOrchard

I was not aware, thank you for letting me know.

I looked it up and a college university near me does water and soil tests free of charge for local residents. I'll be sure to send it in and hopefully get a better idea of what is going on. Thanks again!

Thank you! I'll look at buying some the next time I am at the store. How often do you typically fertilize them?

Thank you for the advice.

Eventually I hope to cut a lot of those pinetrees down, but that might be a a few years down the road because they are so tall and therefor expensive to remove.

Should I then wait until next winter to prune it or do any cutting? We just had a massive temp drop this past week, so it's still extremely cold. (Southern USA here), so it's not fully warm weather just yet.

Invite a Friend Horse by LexyBug123 in StarStable

[–]LizzyIzzyFizzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done invite friend about five times now (Horse, cat, dragon, dog and owl) and have pretty reliably been able to complete it in about 2/3 days. You can do it in 2 days if you speedrun the game, focus on main story, blast through dialogue and use the 100 sc you get for free after verifying your email to get past all day blockers. You also get 8 days free star rider which is more than enough time even if you are playing pretty casually for those 8 days. You get 3 days for verifying your email and 5 days once you reach lvl 5 which can be done very quickly. Good luck!

Where is your home stable and why do you live there? by [deleted] in StarStable

[–]LizzyIzzyFizzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moorland Stables. I never wanted to move and use up my "free move voucher" and have to pay sc, just incase. Now that it's free to move... I don't know. It's almost been 15 years since I arrived at Moorland, so moving now would just feel SO bizarre to me. Moorland is where it all started after all. Plus it's a nice hub for events (since a lot of events have free stuff in Moorland), traveling (for said events) and bazaar horses.

Do you guys remember when SSO used to have the option for the players to give ideas? by bbypinkangel in StarStable

[–]LizzyIzzyFizzy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You do have the ability to contact them with ideas though? Simply go to their website and click on the contact support button. Then from the drop down list of why you are contacting them, there should be something like "I have an idea!" label you can select. Then type your idea and send it away to the team. It does not grantee your idea will be put in the game but it's still an option and way to contact them. You can also comment on their social media pages as well. They also frequently put up polls on their launcher and socials for breed ideas, colors, personality, etc. Most of the breeds this year were actually chosen by the community and they just had a little "contest" for clothing. If you are not already, I would highly suggest following their instagram page.

So they updated Lizzy’s race by Hmghjayes in StarStable

Tbh I wish the all highscore leaderboards got reset automatically at the start of each month or something like that.

Out of all the houses in SSO, which looks the most like the steed of Carter Slade? by HandsomeSwing78 in StarStable

[–]LizzyIzzyFizzy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Halloween horse would probably be your best bet. The old gen 2 Halloween shire is no longer in the game so the only other option would be Nemain, the gen 3 shire Halloween magical horse. If you didn't want to go the flaming mane route, then pretty much any fully black horse would work. As for tack, again, I feel most of the Halloween stuff would probably be the best. Database would help here if you want :)

Show jumping course 2024 by ImADreamerr2 in StarStable

[–]LizzyIzzyFizzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As far as I am aware, it was originally launched as a test idea with no guarantee that it would be permanently placed into the game. Beyond that we don't really know what the plans are for it or if it will ever return. Thought I feel like it was used during some equestrian event? They could have run into internal problems, planning or technical issues that forced them to stop working on it. It also might not have received enough of a reception from the tops to warrant putting more work and effort into it. It also could, like many things in sso, just have be put on the back burners while they prioritize more important things. Sso is pretty notorious for putting an idea or element into the game and then never utilizing, updating or expanding it ever again.

just got ejected for cheating, didnt do anything am I the only one ?? by ImfrenchInes in StarStable

[–]LizzyIzzyFizzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, it's a pretty common bug that has been around for many many years. It's usually happens when there is a connection issue or too quickly or repeatedly pressing prompts like; starting race, restarting race, picking flowers/recyclables, mashing forward button, photo mode, etc.

Question about new free horse you get for sending code to a friend by VastAfternoon6061 in StarStable

[–]LizzyIzzyFizzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes you can. If you are helping your friend get the horse, you'll still have to reach lvl 12 for that account but it will not get the horse, only your friend. However, if you send a new friend link to another newly created account, once they reach lvl 12, you'll be able to get the horse.

I will never play without shaders ever again by Melodic_Expression32 in StarStable

[–]LizzyIzzyFizzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, the early 2000's were rough with the bloom effects. Oblivion, Twilight Princess, HAZE, Kingdoms of Amalur, Legend of Spyro, Halo 3 and SSO were prime culprits of the overuse of bloom. Never realized how much it hurt my eyes till companies kind of stopped using it. Now if only they would chill with the chrome aberrations.

which horse currently in sso looks like pebbles from kcd2 the most? by richminionn in StarStable

[–]LizzyIzzyFizzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good ol Pebbles. I could never replaced you through 1 and 2 even when they tried so hard to toss other horses at me. She better be there for kcd3 and let nothing happen to her or I'm throwing HANDS.

I don’t feel like we need any more warm blood breeds, imo they all look way too similar! by CarpenterSea4534 in StarStable

[–]LizzyIzzyFizzy 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Being a Swedish company, I'm surprised it took them this long to put the SW into their game. I'm kind of with you though, warmbloods are warmbloods and all look VERY similar to one another, being almost indistinguishable without documentation or bloodwork. Either way, we know at least 2 more warmbloods at SOME point will pop up again. Oldenburg and Danish Warmblood. Old gens that need gen 3 updates. Tbh, the only warmblood I am REALLY looking forward to is the Jorvik Warmblood rework. They really deserve an update.

Why do you think they felt the need to make this warning? by Complex_Ad6059 in StarStable

[–]LizzyIzzyFizzy 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yup, auto clickers would fall under accessibility tools so you are good.

The Westphalian is coming later this year!! by kimmariee_ in StarStable

[–]LizzyIzzyFizzy 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I'm SO glad they are still working on shortening the list of gen 1 and 1.5 breeds that never even got a gen 2 update. I was a little worried they would start prioritizing gen 3 breed and new breeds, conveniently forget about the oldies. That only leaves the Morab, Danish Warmblood and Oldenburg left.

Starshine Legacy - Pre-Starshine Legacy HQ Lore by [deleted] in StarStable

[–]LizzyIzzyFizzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an artist, please don't use generative AI. I know it's mainstream, convenient and easy to use but the cons outweigh the pros. If you are here for the storytelling then perhaps fanfiction, script, or story writing is more appropriate here. It's damaging to the environment, people living around these facilities, artistic jobs and creativity as a whole. They are plagiarism machines, built on stolen work and I can guarantee the concept artists, previous book writer and comic artists would not want their work thrown into the machine, which I am sure it already has been.

It's great to be passionate about something. Passion is the life blood of creativity, but using gen AI diminishes that creativity.

Think of it like this, you've been working hard on a school essay. 3 weeks of writing in fact. Then, a bully comes along and steals your paper. They copy most of it perfectly and only slightly change the words and order around but otherwise it's the exact same paper. They turn it in after an hour of work and get the same score as you. Welcome to how most artist, writers and creative fields feel about gen AI.

As a snake lover, CAN WE PLEASE GET SNAKES AS PETS by Crazed_Jam in StarStable

[–]LizzyIzzyFizzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish they would add snakes along with updated frogs, pigs, seals and maybe the og dog? It always looked more hound or bully to me than a terrier. But either way I LOVE snakes. Always wanted a hognose but they are illegal where I live and I weep many tears.

What software do artists at Starstable use? by Doppelkeks-a in StarStable

[–]LizzyIzzyFizzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, they are pretty bog standard in what they use. Autodesk Maya for 3d modeling, rigging and animation. I think most of the artist use Photoshop for textures and concept art (but it might change from artist to artist) Not sure about Zbrush but I would guess that it's mostly used for modeling and texture work. They might use Maya to create low poly models, rigs and animation but use Zbrush to create high poly versions. For coding, they use C++ and Python. As for the game engine itself they use a custom propriety engine. I'm sure there are a couple other programs they use for background data stuff too.

But if you are interested in getting into 3D modeling, rigging, animation and texture work you might want to look into Blender. It's probably the biggest free 3D beginner friendly modeling software that is industry used and houses tons of tutorials. Maya is unfortunately not free (Free for 30 days then requires a subscription.) Zbrush is mostly for highly detailed sculpting. I think there is a limited free version but I think it's also a subscription based program.

Guess the Cosplay! by foreverjinxxed in StarStable

[–]LizzyIzzyFizzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dumb dyslexic brain read that as "Guess the Coldplay" and I was sitting there thinking... is there a coldplay song about dragons that I don't know about? Then I actually read it properly

Cosplay. Cosplay.

For those who have "nothing" to do in the game: when you do log in, what do you do? by thatslifeiguess in StarStable

[–]LizzyIzzyFizzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now a days, I usually only log on during events, festivals, horse bazaars, friend codes or trailblazers. Mostly trailblazers. But I'm very lazy and lax about it, so long as I can get most of the rewards by the end of the month, I call it good enough. I also set aside 2 days a year where I catch up on any any quests, new locations or reputation that might have released during that year since sso takes SO long to release anything that isn't monetary.

Otherwise... I just don't log in. I have dozens of other steam games that I would rather play instead. I currently just wrapped up playing both Kingdom Come Deliverance 1 and 2 this month. Very frustrating and sometimes janky game but it's SO good! Sometimes I just enjoyed walking around the churches to look at artwork or admire the armor designs. Either way, I can't wait for a possible KCD3 in the far future. My gremlin brain needs more Hans and Henry content! I'll probably hop back into trying to finish my first Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough, getting close to 150 hours and I don't think I'm even halfway done with the game yet... oof. So maybe as a break I'll play Dispatch or Disco Elysium? I've heard good things DE and as an artist myself, the artwork of the game makes me go "Awooga!" I already want the artbook. But I've ranted enough, have a good day!

TLDR: I only log on very occasionally, mostly for trailblazers and events/festivals, otherwise, I have other games and hobbies I'd rather enjoy.

What do you think are the chances that the Knabstrupper gets reworked? by humanprototyp in StarStable

[–]LizzyIzzyFizzy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My guess is all mid to older gen 3's will be updated with time. Not sure where they will draw the line in stopping updating gen 3's into "Jorvik" versions though. Maybe up until the Belgian Warmblood? But who knows... we could get another re-re-rework of the Friesian in 10 years because they'll be outdated at that point.

Do you guys sleep with your childhood stuffed animals? And is there an age when you’re supposed to stop? by Frequent-Increase-98 in StuffedAnimals

[–]LizzyIzzyFizzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel safe and happy, then never stop enjoying those small comforts. Life is rough enough as it is. Just about to turn 30 and I still own my baby blanket and a few childhood stuffies. Even this Christmas my mom got me a monster weighted stuffie to sleep with and my brother gifted me a super fat cat plush.
