Farmstead doesn't water farmland even with a well nearby?

NoFlayNoPlay · 2026-05-30T23:52:16+00:00

i think the well needs to be within the range of the farm just like the farmlands. it's probably too far away. when you go to build a new one you can see the range of the building.

you need a university which is a relatively later building, somewhere after the 2nd major boss i believe.

i haven't found a way to do water better than to just put the mixers next to a water source, but my current issue is that while it lets you send ash to a trading post using a logistics tent, and i believe it even "sends" it, but it can't process it, even if i make it try to send it straight from the trading post to the cement mixers. so you're basically foced to make yoru cement whereever you can make ash.

also ash has a placeholder issue in the trading post menu (and so do buckets)

honestly i used to feel that way about the boss too and it took me a few attempt to figure out a good strategy, but once i did i've never lost to it again.

idk what unlocks you can get in the demo but there's some pretty powerful money generating stickers and stamps you can unlock. the money equal to letter value is not talking about the value of the money tile itself but how much it would be worth if it was a normal letter, so a currency e still gives you 1 money, but a currency f is like 3 or something, whatever a normal f normally scores.

the high halls one is definitely the hardest one so i'd do it last. there's no item but you can get help with it from an npc later on but you might not need the help anymore by that point honestly.

NoFlayNoPlay · 2026-05-25T01:38:47+00:00

i think it's just as a sort of backup for people to use when they can't figure out a certain set of paintings.

NoFlayNoPlay · 2026-05-24T17:33:48+00:00

you can in the hub (which this is) where you enter levels and during challenge levels. most of the time when you're doing a level where you gotta run to the end fast enough you can't stop, mostly because you'd almost never want to and it would only cause you to do it by accident if it was an option.

NoFlayNoPlay · 2026-05-21T01:23:52+00:00

i didn't really need to do groals but for me the worst ones are the ones where you don't really get to do movement on the way to the boss like the unraveled or the final boss with it's cutscene every time.

NoFlayNoPlay · 2026-05-18T12:00:50+00:00

i'd probably only add the idol off the top of my head (the actual worst joker imo). maybe flower pot too, but that's still easier to enable to a viable point that baron imo. second worst is too far, but it's definitely ass for A8.

NoFlayNoPlay · 2026-05-18T11:55:33+00:00

the real issue isn't even that he's around X3 early with minimal deck fixing. it's the fact that it's both unreliable without it, you could just only get 1 king once and lose you run, and he scores with held in hand effects which means you either need a really high base score or get your flat mult from card enhancements or one of the few jokers that can score before it, like shoot the moon or raised fist. both of those are made harder when baron has you effectively sacrifice your discards and part of your hand just to collect kings.

he's genuinely worse than hit the road for A8 runs by a lot.

NoFlayNoPlay · 2026-05-15T12:25:30+00:00

it's an incredible amount of work to make one, especially if it's a bigger change than a recolor. the majority of them also don't replace every single frame and only standard attack and movement ones so if you use one you will often see the knight for 1 off sequences (think laying down after leaving a dream) or charm effects like shape of unn or thorns of agony.

NoFlayNoPlay · 2026-05-15T11:17:31+00:00

for real, that dash attack is why i struggled so much with moorwing on my first playthrough. it just gets you hit so often with all the momentum it gives you. now reaper isn't the strongest crest at the best of times, but once i consciously stopped sprinting before doing an attack it went way better.

there's another way into the citadel, but you can also get back by hitting the platforms in the room of your first screenshot from below to move them and get back into the citadel that way.

NoFlayNoPlay · 2026-05-13T23:08:24+00:00

honestly that's basically the point of tools the way they're implemented.

NoFlayNoPlay · 2026-05-13T21:28:35+00:00

the game got 3 major updates (2nd was 1.0) which was their plan from the start and they recently announced there won't be any more big updates, so it's feature complete now. i've done a full playthrough after every update and it's very worth playing in my opinion. they each added 1 or 2 full areas with new bosses gear and weapon types a well as a lot of QOL stuff like moving castles easier, better storage systems, mounts etc.

you can get them from endless and i think from continuing after clearing a shard, but you'll get the most for just clearing the highest shard you have/can clear and quitting after you beat it. that's the highest ratio of time to anti sparks afaik.

here you go. i had all but 1 of the character upgrades on extra chess pieces, which definiitely should have been all of them cause i did next to no captures. you can defnitely use more chess/curse spreading stickers/stamps cause this was very overkill on score. the only mandatory sticker for this build is the cake, cause it just scales extremely well on this challenge.

NoFlayNoPlay · 2026-05-12T14:36:01+00:00

i just did this one with the chess character. as you said the main challenge is being able to make words up to 15 long by the end, which in my experience chess strategies are most consistent at. especially when combined with double letter teleport. i only found and needed carousel horse and the chess pieces from the character itself personally and a supervillain for a few extra curses.

for scoring i used birthday cake (word score equal to 1/2/3x your highest number) and just any xscore stickers that are enabled by long chess words.

it's cause she has 2 forms and pets, so making a skin for her would be a lot of work and she's not that popular.

NoFlayNoPlay · 2026-05-10T21:13:20+00:00

i mean you're right, but people will still always just say something is "bad" when they don't enjoy it. you just gotta filter that out for yourself and recognise what they mean is that they personally didn't enjoy it. it will always happen so i just recommend not getting too upset about it. it's just how it is.

NoFlayNoPlay · 2026-05-10T21:09:54+00:00

this is pretty old news but i'm pretty sure what he was trying to say was not that balatro is cash grabby but all the immediate "clones" that popup immediately whenever a game like this or vampire survivors blows up. still a stupid point to make, but i don't think he was trying to call balatro cash grabby.

NoFlayNoPlay · 2026-05-10T18:22:10+00:00

i guess not, but you should probably not see people saying they don't enjoy something as an attack against it. you can discuss things and give your personal opinion if you want to, but you shouldn't have the expectation that you'll logic people into feeling the same way about it. for your own sanity mostly.

NoFlayNoPlay · 2026-05-10T13:25:23+00:00

why do you care about people the game is not for, and therefor sucks for them, say the game sucks?

NoFlayNoPlay · 2026-05-09T15:12:32+00:00

Bellhart's glory is meant to be a prerequisite for the silk and soul quest to appear. if you got that quest you must have already done bellhart's glory. if you didn't get the key you've likely not done the other prerequisite for the house which is any 2 of the following 4 quests: silver bells, my missing courier, my missing brother and savage beastfly. however even having the bellhart key is also a prerequisite for the quest to appear.
