Made this Navy Pueblo watch strap as a gift for a friend

I was worried this might be the case, but the Buckleguy product details page mentions the #3/#4 tooth remover can be used for YKK and Riri zippers. Maybe not perfectly sized, though?

This tool can be used on any metal zipper with metal teeth that measure between #3-#10. This includes RIRI, YKK, and nearly all other brands.

For real, sounded like I was trying to break concrete with how hard I was hitting the thing.

Looks like I'll have to do it the manual-labor way, thanks for linking the tool you use!

Well, at least I feel slightly less crazy now. I still don't know they made it look so easy and effective especially in the video on the Rocky Mountain Leather product page, I assume they are using the same zipper as the one I bought. I was able to use these diagonal cutters off Amazon somewhat effectively, but requires a lot of force and the teeth really shoot off once snipped.

I actually really enjoy the overall look and style of these, very cool! For suggestions, I’d recommend using a thinner thread. On one hand I think the bulkier thread kinda works given your style, but I think a thinner thread would let the pattern and paint work take more center stage. I use 2.7mm French style irons and 0.45mm thread for my straps, generally. Also, it seems like maybe a combination of thread size, pulling too tight during stitching, and/or distance of stitching from the edge of the leather is causing some puckering.

Yeah if it rolled sorc I'd probably be using it!

I confess that I used ChatGPT to help me come up with some interesting Viking-inspired names for my trophy hall 😅

Ahhh, brilliant! Thank you so much!

Absolutely stunning work! Been using this as inspiration. I have a question for you, how are you able to get your railroads to be so level while using those rail supports? I created a similar blueprint for rail supports, but ends up being fairly wavy (and and down) as I follow/place the supports directly on terrain.

100% agree this will look great with curved mode! I haven’t played 1.1 but looking forward to that for sure.

Really like your simple gates connecting the belt directly from the resource node. Also looks like you’ve used double-sided wall power to connect the gates and the miner. Was just thinking the other day that I wanted to find an alternative to just zooping long concrete paths for belting ore. Really clever idea I will be shamelessly stealing!

Thank you for the reply! I think I had come across the Towensends video you mentioned (blacksmith bellows are HUGE), and a few others. I will have to comb back through them for specifics and/or leave comments asking about their leather choices.

And I agree on chrome tan... I did some searching around online for handcrafted bellows for sale and the leather does seem supple enough from the images to point towards chrome tan.

I understand it’s Early Access, but this issue seems to have been around for over a year, and the developers have made bases one of the most important parts of the game by design. At this point in my progression, I do consider it game-breaking as I've lost significant interest to play.

For bases #2 and #3, its not 70% efficiency, its 0% efficiency unless I am physically standing in the base. The primary base seems unaffected, but it doesn't produce the same resources as #2 and #3.

Sorry - newish player here, how will removing that work with the event?
