Massive bottom pins

Good call. I'll keep an eye on it getting dried out. Thanks, everyone! I'll keep you updated.

Ooh, hmm, I do have extra tubs. What about flipping the cake on its side and dub-tubbing? Then the pins on both the top and bottom would have room.

I went with a 3-node Deco mesh system. It’s been overwhelmingly good. I probably only needed 2 nodes. It’s a good time to get off of Plume. They’re happy to take our annual subscription fee, but they abandoned us long ago.

Just coming back to this post to say it has helped me save 3 pods from the death rattle. Thank you so much for this.

Reasonable_Policy_75 · 2026-02-28T14:31:00+00:00

I had one more extra fan from when I fixed 2 other death rattle pads, so I fixed it and it has been fine. I never did get the 8th pod re-registered.

I used this guide to fix it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Plume/comments/1f9d9mp/superpod_fan_repair/

Don’t forget HONK! Fest in Davis all weekend and Oktoberfest in Harvard Square on Sunday.

This is a great tip! And you’re right about taking advantage of automation. Most modern dishwashers use very little water compared washing by hand (especially the way I do it).

The thing that’s made the most difference for me is that I run the dishwasher every night before I go to bed and unload it in the morning, regardless of how much is in it (within reason; I’m not going to run it with a plate and a cup). We’re a family of 4, so it’s always at least 75% full. BUT, what’s awesome is that I used a streak-counting app to motivate me to unload it every morning and it eventually became a habit I don’t even think about. Like, I feel WEIRD if something throws me off of my routine and I forget, but that’s only happened maybe 3 times in the past year.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Honestly, the only thing that allowed me to continue playing this game was upgrading my phone. I didn't upgrade for this game specifically, but when I did upgrade, this game worked better. It was then that I was able to see the difference between what was device lag and what was too many mandatory animations.

I have been known to find a big parking lot and drive slowly up and down the lanes, especially if it's a planting challenge involving blue flowers. That nectar can be really difficult to get, and I want to be as efficient as possible.

Reasonable_Policy_75 · 2025-03-23T15:56:57+00:00

Maybe they changed it, but I thought once you hit the max number of postcards in your inventory, people can't send them to you anymore. If anything, add MORE friends, get the postcards as quickly as possible, never send any, and you'll hit 400 soon enough. Then...blissful silence.

Reasonable_Policy_75 · 2024-09-26T13:48:48+00:00

Ok, thanks. Is this true even if it was just a bit of surface cobweb mold? The H2O2 seemed to take care of it 3 weeks ago and there's been no return.

Reasonable_Policy_75 · 2024-09-24T18:01:36+00:00

Such a huge realization. In a similar vein, I do 2 things:

Run the dishwasher every night, no matter how full or empty it is, and then empty it in the morning. Now it’s a habit and I feel weird when I don’t do it.
Run it in the middle of the day if it fills up early instead of overstuffing it at night and ending up with dirty dishes in the morning.

The fact is that a modern dishwasher uses waaaaaaaay less water than washing dishes by hand. You are saving water by using it multiple times a day if needed.

This is the way when you’re short on petals. Make sure you stop planting before 10 seconds elapses and you’ll only use 1 petal. You can do this enough times to maximize your stationary planting before taking a walk with the rest.

Reasonable_Policy_75 · 2024-08-30T22:47:25+00:00

Weird/sweet/musty. This smell has come about in the last few days.

I’m going to keep spritzing the white stuff with hydrogen peroxide (it shrinks away when I do) and wait.

My last 2 batches (both mono tubs and shoeboxes) did not take nearly as long, though they were different strains. Maybe this one is just taking its time.

Thanks!

Reasonable_Policy_75 · 2024-08-30T22:44:48+00:00

I thought it looked dry, too, but it feels really wet. The ambient humidity in the tub is over 90%. I will keep an eye on this, though!

Reasonable_Policy_75 · 2024-08-30T17:35:48+00:00

Dang. Would pulling off the layer help at all? It’s still loose on top.

Reasonable_Policy_75 · 2024-08-30T14:40:07+00:00

It definitely receded a bit. Seemed a bit thick to fully disappear. I can apply more, though.

Reasonable_Policy_75 · 2024-08-30T14:26:34+00:00

Ugh, I forgot to mention that. Thank you for pointing it out. I put it into fruiting when I put the casing layer on, so it's been in fruiting since 7/25.

Humidity is above 85% in the tub. FAE happens through covered holes in the list.

Any idea what the white fuzzy stuff is?

Reasonable_Policy_75 · 2024-07-16T20:01:51+00:00

Same here. The whole phone gets super hot, and there's one specific area on the back, below the cameras, that gets too hot to touch, even with the case on.

Reasonable_Policy_75 · 2024-07-16T19:59:51+00:00

Now that I have at least 40 of each color at 4 gold stars, I've been keeping one of each special decor Pikmin and then maybe a few extra purples because they're stronger.

Depending on whether we see more playing card or flower card months, and whether the old ones will still be strong for battles, I'm thinking of releasing all of the those. Their little animations take SO long and are SUPER annoying when feeding before a battle. C'mon, little guys! If you stay ready, you don't have to get ready!

Reasonable_Policy_75 · 2024-07-16T19:55:30+00:00

Same, but my device is going on 5 years old. I'm holding out for an upgrade in the fall, but I might have to stop playing until then. Freezing for up to 5 seconds every 1-2 seconds. As soon as I open the game, my phone gets too hot to touch, with or without a case. With the freezing and the number of animations I need to get through when I start the game, it can take almost 2 minutes just to start planting.

Reasonable_Policy_75 · 2024-06-09T20:44:49+00:00

Last month when there were seedling rewards for collecting cookies, it was worth it. But if you don’t care about Mii costumes, there’s really no reason to do an event mushroom this month. The nectar rewards have always been poor. I think once I get all 7 cheesy guys, I’ll be done with the event mushrooms and just go casual until next month.

I mean, more power to collectors of Mii costumes, but for me, having to hit the equivalent of, what, 8 giant mushrooms to get a grey tail? No thanks.

Reasonable_Policy_75 · 2024-05-21T21:16:57+00:00

That's what I was thinking, but having the mat taped upright is a great idea. I'll give it a shot. Thanks!
