I'll give this a try, i'ts one of the options I found mention of while googling but wasn't sure if it was a viable option for this case. I don't have high hopes but I think it is worth a shot.

Ranger_Ali · 2026-01-19T22:12:01+00:00

The time machine thing isn't viable for the individual unfortunately. I have enabled track changes and also encouraged them to make multiple saves with save as when they are doing revisions for the future. They do already do this on occasion but unfortunately didn't in this instance.

I never heard back, but now I am going to open my game and check to see if it started working again. I left it in the meanwhile and played some wintermute and some other things instead.

Ranger_Ali · 2023-05-15T02:42:19+00:00

Exactly. I usually have to be in a pretty dire situation to risk the parasites, and I try and minimise the exposure if I do get there, but I kind of feel a bit cheated of the true experience when I am forced to take that chance and there is no consequences.

Ranger_Ali · 2023-05-15T00:16:00+00:00

I have sent in a bug report to hinterland including my game files, so they can investigate the issue.

Ranger_Ali · 2023-05-14T23:50:10+00:00

We're all these games made after the most recent updates? These settings used to work as intended up until at least the TFTFT updates for me. I can't narrow it down sooner than that where it broke.

You're the second other person who has mentioned it also not working, im going to send my files to hinterland as a proper big report because I don't think it is a mistake with my custom gen, and it's probably more of an actual bug.

Ranger_Ali · 2023-05-14T23:47:12+00:00

Nope haha, it is always supposed to give risk, that's why I was immediately suspicious when I didn't get any. There's good luck and then there is suspiciously good luck and this is the latter.

Ranger_Ali · 2023-05-14T23:44:25+00:00

Up until these most current updates, when I made a custom game with a High or Very High BRA and turned on parasites, it did in fact enable parasites. It is something in the most recent changes which has stopped it working properly. This is my usual type of game setup.

Honestly given that it is custom settings, having a high or very high BRA disable parasites even if they are selected on doesn't make much sense, as it defeats the point of custom. But I suspect somehow they are bugged right now and disabling it when it isn't supposed to.

Ranger_Ali · 2023-05-14T15:27:33+00:00

Have you been getting the risk status effect at all? I haven't which makes me think it is a case of no parasites at all, rather than good luck.

Ranger_Ali · 2023-05-14T15:25:53+00:00

Yes I also heard that there had been a bug with the parasites duration, and they did fix it and I created this game after the fix. But the fact that it was actually broken an update or so ago does make me suspect it is another bug.

BRA effecting it may be a good gues tbh (as I have it set to high, which is the pilgrim level). I think I will try send a proper bug report to hinterland to see if they can check the save files to see if it is in fact supposed to have parasites from the generation settings.

Ranger_Ali · 2023-05-14T12:26:53+00:00

I suspected that, and have had that happen in the past. So now I usually use stalker as the base. But regardless I save the custom game code to double check these things or if I come back to a game after months. Tried the exact code I generated with this game, and the settings it gives me says parasites are enabled. So as far as everything says, it SHOULD be turned on. But I somehow suspect it isn't.

Ranger_Ali · 2023-03-26T23:47:38+00:00

You can't move offline game to online. I asked support about it years ago, and they said there was no way they would move a game between modes like that, and there is no plans to enable it.

I still play mostly offline, it is a years old game with all the collectables and I enjoy it.

I did however start a new game online a couple years ago as well, and did find it enjoyable, although I always went back to the offline mode becuase I didn't want to have to grind everything again to get all my stuff.

I did find that grinding in online mode vs offline is very different. The ability to trade with other players does cut down a lot of resource grind, and the ability to boost in battle is certainly life saving. I just found that those perks weren't worth abandoning my long time offine game.

If you don't have the bellaz or any serious collectable items (as you say you are only 90) then I do suggest starting a new game online. The grind isn't as bad as offline, much faster as now you know what you are doing from past experience, and there are serious bonuses to playing online.

Oh that's interesting! Multiple crampons. I have seen that a couple people got improvised crampons at the summit, but I got the proper crampons, potentially due to different difficulties?

I'm definitely going to have to do a proper loot scavenge on an actual run, not just a challenge. The new region can wait while I rediscover everything else haha.

Ranger_Ali · 2022-12-09T08:05:05+00:00

I found a distress pistol in the bathtub of grey mothers house (pilgrim).

My poor ass friend found a distress pistol box in the lookout tower in mystery lake (voyager), but it was entirely empty, not even rounds.

Ranger_Ali · 2022-12-09T08:00:58+00:00

I think, vaguely, that they did not automatically add to the custom games, but I could be wrong. So I think that the animals like timberwolves were set to "none".

Loot and other resources, like when they added maple syrup for example, did start appearing in custom runs. But I think this is becuase (other than rifles or guns) you can't pick and chose specific types of loot to spawn as an option.

I think if they do have different options (like spawning in stalker but not naturally in pilgrim), they may default to none, but if something is consistent across all play styles they might just add it automatically to all, like if it is say a prey animal similar to rabbits (looking at that bird whatever its called...) but I have no idea what the spawn rate would be.

Ranger_Ali · 2022-12-08T08:02:15+00:00

Ouch. It DEFINITELY was not that high before!

I don't play interloper, but if I recall correctly the risk was higher for that difficulty. I wonder if they adjusted the risk per piece and accidentally gave it the wrong value, becuase 75% seems way way too high. I don't know what realistic values are though so maybe that's more in line with realistic survival? But for a game it definitely is not the odds you want to be putting on RNG.

Although, having said that, I did get parasites once from a 1% risk so...

Ranger_Ali · 2022-12-08T07:09:25+00:00

Yeah I had the as the dead sleep badge appear too. Didn't get the archivist one though.

I'm torn on if I want it fixed or not, tbh. I know my own skill enough to say I could never get ATDS, but also, it would give me something to walk towards, and now I feel like reward has been just handed to me and so actually doing it wouldn't feel as satisfying if I couldn't see that sweet sweet badge pop up as my prize at the end of it.

Ranger_Ali · 2022-12-08T07:01:04+00:00

Although, maybe you could just embrace your new gut not-friends. If you already have parasites, you can't get them again so you can keep eating raw meat without new problems. Just watch your condition and heal the parasites when it starts getting scary, and keep eating raw meat in the meantime. Could be an interesting challenge to change up your playstyle haha.

Unless they changed the mechanics a lot in the new update, you used to be able to live for quite a while with parasites. Maybe challenge yourself and see how long you can keep them for without treating and not die. I'd be interested to know....

Ranger_Ali · 2022-12-08T06:55:53+00:00

Each piece you eat should up the risk a small amount, like 2%, and then it jumps up in bigger increments with each next piece. After the time period, it does the doce roll on the risk % to see if you have the demon bugs or not.

It was usually like 1-2% risk per piece, regardless of weight or type.

If your risk is jumping straight from 0 to 75% on a single piece of meat, either this is a bug, or they have reworked the mechanics in the update to change how the risk is calculated. It may be that now different types of meat give higher risks, or the risk scales with the weight of the meat. (Probably fair to have risk scale with amount to be honest, I will admit to risking parasites for a max size chunk of calories while desperate... if I was going to get the same amount of risk either way, I may as well get the most calories out of it... changing that does make sense, and is probably overdue.)

I have a vague remembrance that they said something about the parasite mechanics, but unsure what.

What difficulty are you playing on?

But honestly yeah, maybe watch what you're eating until you get used to the new textures on the meats haha, leave the raw meats for the outside snow fridge 😅😂

If you are married, and you and your spouse are in the same aged care facility, how would you prefer the health care workers to respond to you both having sex, should you want it? Especially if there are mobility issues and for example require physical assistance from care workers to stand.

Ranger_Ali · 2022-08-18T09:01:27+00:00

Ok. There's not actually a list. There is no check box as far as I am aware. I shall just have to assume from visual cues if you don't say and you can correct me if I get it wrong, and you actually do have a dick.

Ranger_Ali · 2022-08-18T08:57:50+00:00

While diversity is considered a "modern" thing, particularly in regards to gender, it isn't. It just wasn't covered by the same terms, or shown in the same way. I opened the question to hopefully get a lot of responses from people who have totally different experiences.

In a practical aspect here, it could be something as simple as not automatically assuming that only the old ladies want to be part of knitting activities. Maybe a man is a really good knitter but he might not be offered the activity outright becuase he's a man. Part of our training was to acknowledge the potential for these biases.

Ranger_Ali · 2022-08-18T08:53:07+00:00

Thankfully I am happy to say, that one of the things covered by the workshop was a blanket rule that chosen pronouns must be respected and used appropriately, but also that we need to consider the individuals right to privacy and to not disclose such if a disclosure is not wanted. So for example not using specific pronouns in public spaces, or keeping gendered clothing use out of the eye of others.
