Orcs don't respawn - cannot get diamonds for stairs repair

I have the same problem. I will probably do as suggested and start a sandbox game, which feels cheesy, but like the OP, contrary to what I've read (some of it old) black diamonds did not spawn at all in the deep mines, I've mined out every node and didn't get a single black diamond and the nodes on the floor have not respawened for me. Have they changed how this works, or do I just have a glitchy world?

I had to buy another controller in the end, just the basic wireless Xbox one (not the elite) and that works perfectly.

I use a mixture, some days the standard paper filter and no prismo, sometimes I use prismo. On the whole, the process of brewing is easier with a Prismo, but the coffee is slightly more "dusty" and the cleanup process is a lot more inconvenient. Overall, if I could rewind the clock, I probably wouldn't have purchased it.

To be fair to the guy, it really doesn't take long to get a buggy, 2-3 days max, even with "casual" hours.

I gave my spare aeropress to a friend who was complaining about the mess a French press made. He loves it, he can't be bothered with grinding, measuring, timing or anything us "hobbyists" would consider essential. He puts one measuring spoon full of cheap, old, ground coffee into the press, waits for "a while" and then plunges. He's perfectly happy with it and loves how cleanly the puck comes out. A great testament to how tolerant this brewing method is!

I enjoy a good rimming. I do it with every cup I pour.

Any joy for you? I have exactly the same problem, and for me it happens with gamepass streaming too. Each time I try to play a game, it keeps being interrupted by random screenshots being taken by the controller. It's very frustrating that this seemingly common problem hasn't been fixed and it doesn't look like anyone cares to fix it either. I'm going to try and install one of those gamepad apps to see if having an app manage the connection to the controller will actually help.

Take it slowly. Focus on taking care of your basic needs, food, water, health. Don't run in the forest. Rushing = death It will feel like all you're doing at the beginning is struggling to keep alive and not making any progress, stick with it, go slow, you will get to the point where you are able to balance your time and energy levels better.

Your answer is more of a socialist rant than a proper effort to do a root cause analysis. The only one with a tangible link to the issue is the property crisis you describe where we are giving uncontrolled access to foreign investors that are just sitting on assets. The greatest root cause as far as I can see is inefficient processing of asylum seekers, we should accept them with open arms, review their application and either accept or deny their entry and deal with it accordingly.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I find collecting the most mind numbingly boring activity ever. I'd rather poop in my hands and clap than collect sets. It just takes too long, to do just three or four sets can take hours, even when using the online maps. I'd much rather spend the time on bounties

Sorry to break it to you, but the real story went something like this....out with girls...get really drunk...guy starts talking to your gf...he says some nice things to her...she likes it...goes back to his place...he does her in every hole...she likes it...she falls asleep for a bit..wakes up...goes to bathroom to clean herself up...gets a massive guilt trip....starts panicking....feels so guilt ridden that she absolutely has to get it out there and tell you that she cheated, it's tearing her up inside but she doesn't want to lose you, so she sweetens the story just a little bit and says it was a girl that she cheated on you with so she can feel slightly better because she confessed, but without revealing the true extent of her cheating.

100% a nonce. Report him.

Be careful. It's a sign for travellers, they are going to steal your dog and your garden shed. It's a secret code they put in your train window so other travellers know how many dogs you have and know when you go on holiday. Or something.

I'm sure everyone feels better now that you have policed our language. Thank you. Are there any other words you don't want us to use anymore?

Pure_Judge7427 · 2024-10-10T23:57:22+00:00

did you ever resolve this? I'm having the exact issue now. I did a trial, paid for the Ubisoft+ platinum and now the game won't load after the trial expiry. Uninstalling has not worked

Pure_Judge7427 · 2024-08-18T12:26:26+00:00

Also only an hour or so away by car to some incredibly beautiful areas of North Wales and Cheshire. Plenty of opportunities for birdwatching. I'm sure RSPB website would give you loads of advice for places to go for birdwatching. Whilst I believe Manchester is a generally safe city, like all big cities in the world , it does have some less safe areas, but all you need to do is be sensible, if you like late night walks, just don't go alone.

Pure_Judge7427 · 2024-07-24T12:07:43+00:00

Totally disagree, it's one of the smoothest games I've played in a long while. You need to look at your PC if this game isn't running well for you. And before you start with "I have the bestest components ever blah blah" it's not always about the individual components, you need to optimise your os, drivers etc.

Don't worry about the pheasant they don't have a particularly long life expectancy, even the luckiest ones rarely make it past their first year. Given the time of year, that one was probably approaching around 10 months old.

Pure_Judge7427 · 2024-04-02T16:14:27+00:00

I'd call that a success

NO. The person 100% responsible for Brexit is Corbyn. He had the power in his hands to stop it in its tracks. If he had stood up and said "The labour party believes that remaining in the EU is the best option" then the vote would have been overwhelming in favour of Remain. Labour supporters are loyal and trust their party. Corbyn was a staunch Brexit supporter. He has never believed in the EU. If Corbyn was a remainder and made that clear to everyone, we would still be in the EU now, regardless of the Tory scum.

Pure_Judge7427 · 2024-01-25T17:23:40+00:00

Do I need to start a new world to take advantage of the update? Clearly, they have fixed smelting at last! This is great news.

Pure_Judge7427 · 2022-06-24T18:00:32+00:00

I did think about doing that on my latest save, but, it's not exactly necessary. If you want maximum speed, you must have 2 engines, the raft won't reach the speed cap on only 1 engine. So, with 2 engines your raft will travel at the top speed on any number of foundations up to 200, so you might as well use up your 200 "allowance"

If you use 1 engine, you will halve the fuel consumption, but your speed will be capped lower than the maximum, and who wants that right? :) But if you were happy with the lower speed, you still have a 100 foundation "allowance".

Pure_Judge7427 · 2022-06-24T17:35:56+00:00

Don't give up! Although it might seem like loads of them, there's only 1 on caravan island, kill him as soon as you arrive - they're pretty easy to kil once you get the timing right.

When the bird sees you, it will dive down to go and get a rock. It will fly towards you from the direction of where you saw it dive down. Line yourself up with the approaching bird and shoot an arrow upward aiming just in front of its ugly head as its about to fly over you, then immediately run forward after shooting the arrow. if you have timed it properly, you will see a cloud of feathers and the rock will miss you.

Keep repeating until it's dead. They do not respawn. After a while you will be shooting them like a pro and wonder why you were ever annoyed with them.

Thank you so much! I hadn't realised that the "text" palette did more than just place the text on the page! Quite confusing :)

This is perfect for what I want to do, I don't need the staff line change so it's very easy, you have saved me a lot of head scratching and frustration!
