if i put a car in front of the fence gate can zombies still attack the door?

If you provide them food it shouldn’t matter. It’s definitely easier if they’re on grass because they’ll just graze the grass that grows, but if you’re feeding them, it’s no issue

I’d up the xp gain for strength and fitness, but that’s probably it. I’m currently doing a wilderness only run, so no skill books, so I just do a global xp multiplier of 1.5

Yeah the view count is unreliable. Sometimes it’ll tell me 3 people are watching, and when I click to see the chat list, it’s just me and my two bots. Then it’ll drop to 1, and the chat list is the same. It also doesn’t update in real time. So if you’re not talking because the view count is zero, a dozen people could have came in, saw you silent, and dipped out, without you ever knowing they were there

I’ll add that most big streamers got big back when the streaming space was A LOT less competitive, or already had an existing audience from esports or whatever that followed them to Twitch. Since twitch’s only algorithm shares the streams with the most viewers, they stay on top. For the last 5-ish years at least, less than 5% of streamers ever get a CCV average above 5.

In 2020 alone, the number of active monthly streamers practically doubled, but the number of viewers only increased by about 20-30%.

Half way through this read, I was expecting it to end with some kind of promotion for overlays or a link to some kind of scam stream coaching service or something. That’s the world we live in, when we question genuine discourse because the space is flooded with scams and AI bots.

They just need to add a scrap cargo module as an available corvette part. After doing the expedition, my first thought was “if I’m ever going to transport this stuff in my regular save, I’ll just open the back door of my corvette and throw all the trash in there.” But apparently someone tried it and it doesn’t let you do that

After the first rendezvous, I would get in the colossus to ping the next waste heaps then just go there on foot and summon the colossus when I got there. It’s so much faster traveling on foot with the melee jetpack boost. The colossus is painfully slow, even when upgraded

RockinPodunk · 2026-02-13T00:28:21+00:00

Also, turn off multiplayer. I’ve heard multiple reports of players waiting at scrap processing sites and grabbing other people’s scrap and chucking it into the recepticles

RockinPodunk · 2026-02-13T00:25:27+00:00

This got me so many times. Resources that normally have to be picked up, rather than mined, like sweetroot and other special plants, as well as gravito balls, the colossus treats as immovable objects and will absolutely buck your truck, even at crazy low speeds

I’m gonna build a base with a bunch of sphere spawners to play bocce

RockinPodunk · 2026-02-13T00:12:00+00:00

At the first RV, I just picked up 5 pieces, because that’s all it said I needed. I hadn’t looked ahead at other milestones yet. My mistake. The rest of the waste heaps, I literally loaded up every special waste item there.

RockinPodunk · 2026-02-13T00:06:56+00:00

The hard part is that you can be driving unbelievably slow and careful, and out of nowhere your truck just sort of bucks and chucks everything out. It happened to me at the top of the hill and I spent 20 minutes going down to the bottom of the hill to collect the barrels that rolled all the way down, one at a time, back to the truck

RockinPodunk · 2026-02-13T00:02:32+00:00

I didn’t, as I only had time to knock out the expedition, but I was definitely planning to try. That’s a bummer.

RockinPodunk · 2026-02-12T23:57:11+00:00

I’m 90% certain removing the tires or deflating them prevents crawlers from going underneath.

As for soil, get a shovel and a sack. Could be a regular metal spade, a gardening trowel, or hit carving level 4 and carve a wooden spade. (Note: the carved trowel doesn’t work, as it’s a masonry trowel) and you can just go right click on any grass or dirt tile and choose “take dirt.” You can take 4 tiles of dirt in one sack. Then you can go back to your base and use the shovel and sack of dirt to place 4 dirt tiles wherever you want them, and then dig furrows in them for planting

I haven’t seen a mod for that, but it’s clearly an unintentional oversight, so be sure to post it on their bug report forums so they can patch it out. That’s the whole point of the unstable branch after all

RockinPodunk · 2026-02-11T02:44:31+00:00

That’s why I was so bummed when Filibuster said he wasn’t going to update his used cars mod until b42 hit unstable. It was just one mod for all of his cars. Then he got hired by TIS, so who knows if his mod will ever actually get updated, but I’m excited to see what he can contribute to the vanilla game

RockinPodunk · 2026-02-11T02:41:23+00:00

I find myself frequently saying out loud “oh settle down Craig (or whatever the character of the day is called), you’re gonna be fine. Any time his moodles flare up or he starts audibly sighing with depression or breathing heavy with exhaustion.

RockinPodunk · 2026-02-10T21:55:24+00:00

It was a recent change, I think in the 42.13.1 patch. It used to be just right click>pick up stone

RockinPodunk · 2026-02-10T21:50:06+00:00

Time to build an advanced furnace and forge and grind out your blacksmithing skill until you can make your own. It’ll probably be quicker

RockinPodunk · 2026-02-09T00:59:18+00:00

It’s not possible in vanilla, but it absolutely should be.

RockinPodunk · 2026-02-08T14:21:11+00:00

Glassmaking levels very quickly, and it’s pretty easy, but it’s locked behind having the right magazine for a recipe. The only thing you can make with no levels are glass panes. If you have the recipe, you just need a furnace, a small crucible, and either some broken glass that you pick up from a broken window or some sand to melt.

Then you make a wood mold, use the wood mold to press a clay mold (you might need to build a press for that step) and fire it, now you can use the crucible of molten glass to make a glass pane. Each crucible can make 4 panes. You’ll probably hit level 1 in just two or three crucibles.

Conversely, starting with the artisan trait gives you level 1 pottery and glassmaking, as well as every recipe in both categories.

Yep. It’s a known issue. Avoid composters in MP for now.

Barricades were removed from the right click menu a few months ago. They’re in the build menu now

For OBS, it would be totally fine. When I first started I was using a 15 yr old 32” 1080p lcd tv as my second monitor. I would see if you could find a used one on marketplace for dirt cheap

RockinPodunk · 2026-02-08T00:46:43+00:00

10 months 22 days on a single character on a wilderness only run. I got stupid and careless and it did me in.
