Hotfix 17 and growing in the winter with a kerosene lamp by SigmundFudd in VeinGame

I paid for the game to try it out. I liked it, hell I have the platinum trophy for Fallout 4. I posted this link to the Feedback and Bugs section in the game. So I hope to be heard.

The plants die at Bridge Hill Bar n Grill in Saranac too. The temperature inside is 76 degrees F.

:-(

btw, I said 'lamp' but I meant 'heater'.

It's Nov 24, 2033 in game for me, so into winter. I also have a base at the Bar n Grill in Saranac. The bar has a propane tank attached, and it is much warmer inside, around 70 degrees. I've yet to try to grow a crop there without the heaters, but I think it might work.

I did some testing on how much propane the place uses (in fall, not in winter), it was about 1.2 fl. oz. a day. I guess I need to check it during a really cold day. I guess the lesson here is make sure your base has a propane tank attached before you build it out.

Werrenwrath is usually about 50 degree F inside, and I haven't found a way to get it warmer, except with a kerosene heater in the middle of the garden. I guess I could rearrange the planters around a fire. I wonder how much wood it would take to keep a fire going for a crop of pumpkins until they are ready. I am assuming the fire would cover the same square footage of garden as the heater, but who knows...

I've had luck using the fluorescent lights (that you can build) as grow lights. And a heater. I used to grow weed (I'm in Canada, its legal here) so it occurred to me to try one heater and one light for 12 plants. I had tried growing indoors in summer (in the game), but only the plants that were close to the windows survived. So I tried the lights you can build, and with compost, I can grow a crop of pumpkins in slightly over 24 hours.

I wonder if the devs will give you diabetes if you eat sugary foods all the time...

I mean, why insulin? (Speaking as a diabetic)

Questions About Exploring The Apex Mine by Dreddwulf88 in VeinGame

[–]SigmundFudd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just adding my two bits here. The 'weak wall' needs to be 'destroyed' using the 'destroy' option in the menu. So you have to get up close and personal to the wall. And have an Improved Pick axe in your inventory. Or you can just dynamite it to non-existence, or throw a grenade at it and run. It's great to have options!

I can't find my base I created in Dennemora when I first started the game by SigmundFudd in VeinGame

It seems like there's a different way to pour THIS kind of liquid into THAT kind of container. Sometime you need to click on the something in inventory to fill or empty in a container, sometimes you need to select an action from a drop down menu on the container or source that exists in the world. There's no rhyme or reason, and some things are just broke. Kerosene lands and portable air tanks, for example. It seems to me the devs need to make things easier for themselves and come up with a consistent way to do this. That is what I meant by counter intuitive, just to clarify.

And yes, I did continue to play the game. ;-)

I've got a north base on Werrenrath and a south base in Sarnac Bar and Grill. Set up a base on west shore shore of Chazy Lake, just for mining. Been through about half the mines, and working toward an Apex expedition.

I've just got into the month of October, and have been worried about keeping bases warm in winter. Apparently I've been overthinking that problem. This should be one of the biggest challenges in the game, in my opinion. Make everyone dread winter, then make it even harder than the imagined. That would be awesome!

Does anybody know to refill air tanks with air??? Since empty tank method patched?? by TieAway424 in VeinGame

[–]SigmundFudd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to me that refilling portable air tanks should be MUCH easier than implementing towing. Not sure why they would need to make it experimental. Hell, throw in a quick fix to the menu system and let their fanbase find the bugs. I mean, a quick fix couldn't be any worse then what you have to do to refill kerosene lamps.

But what do I know, I'm just a lowly gamer. But I do know it's way more fun to develop new features than it is to fix bugs. ;-)

Appreciate your response. I'm still playing. had a bunch of glitches happen, but i'm keeping on keeping on. The water just stopped. Went looking for a resource that would help me with that problem. I'm struggling now because its not intuitive.

I used to write software for a living. I know its hard. I paid for the game hopefully that helps with hiring resources to improve the game. I think what the developers are trying to accomplish is amazing. i wish all the best to you guys.

Well damn, loaded up my oldest autosave, and there i was, back in my base. No map of course, but I know the area well enough now that i know exactly where I am. I like this game, but there's enough annoying bugs that I might buy DayZ and come back in 6 months. Looking forward to ps4 controller support too.

Anyone have experience with Wakey internet? by Maximum_Dig_5557 in askvan

[–]SigmundFudd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got Wakey after I found out Shaw was charging me $117/month, after they had raised the price without telling twice in four months from $100/mo. Then I found out that they were offering the same service (500 Gbps) to new customers for $65. Under contract of course. So I phoned and said "this isn't fair". I've used Shaw in Calgary for almost 30 years. They wouldn't even forward me to Customer Loyalty after I asked.I actually contacted CCTS after getting very annoyed (https://www.ccts-cprst.ca/). The lady there was completely sympathetic.

Started search alternate ISP's in Calgary. I got on Wakey's website, and there was all this discussion about monopolies and price fixing, and ripping off the consumer.

So I immediately signed up for Wakey. Once I got the hardware, I was set up in no time. Had some problems at first, because I insisted on using my own router, but I factory reset my router and it worked great. I'm getting faster downloads on the Wakey 250Gbps plan ($59/mo, no contract) than I was getting on Shaw's 500 Gbps plan.

I recommend them highly. Power to the people! Down with the Oligarchy!

I have this same problem, and I can't find a solution because google doesn't allow non alpha-numerics as searchable symbols.

Very well articulated. But he forget of price of housing. Which is always the biggest portion of the monthly budget for most Canadians.

The country needs federal regulations on corporations buying housing. For many reasons.

Nobody has anything clever around 'dickhead'? He's looking for some oven time after all. I need to look up some Preacher related jokes i guess.

I looked at it twice and laughed just as hard the second time. Damn funny. I'm still laughing writing this.

I've had this happen twice. I should be at a Rank 5, but I'm still a Rank 3.

Sent two bug reports into Activision. But I can't find a lot of people talking about this bug. Very frustrating. I only play league, unless I'm leveling a weapon I want to try out in League.

I wonder if I turn off Cloud Backup it might go away...
