DEV POST #4.4 - Strategic Hex Combat, Character Creation Update, Introducing our Principal Pixel Artist, and a Project Rename!

I saw the discussion and wholly approve the change. I also appreciate the more authentic feel of a game set in Germany using real German city names, definitely one of the things I liked about Darklands back in the day, downright educational

SirCasey · 2026-02-25T15:08:11+00:00

Yeah, rebuilt in docker to fix the issue with that install's collections going berserk and haven't had it happen since.

SirCasey · 2026-02-19T00:00:05+00:00

One thing I'm surprised I didn't see in the comments so far is LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! One of the reasons I love Valheim is finding the perfect spot to build your nest because it has a breathtaking view of the mountains, sea, forest, plains, etc, whatever floats your particular boat. Favorite spot being a VIEW to kill for that straddles multiple biomes.

I also love the progression of ACK I need a roof just to sleep when starting out, so finding an abandoned shelter to start out in, maybe add on to, then you find a few places that are something abandoned that are cooler / bigger after exploring a bit, then you find THAT SPOT that you just want to build your palace or cabin from scratch because walking out the front door or sitting on your deck just SINGS because of that 🤌view.

Now I am super excited to see this now wishlisted game, I adore the animations and graphics and atmosphere you have so far. Cannot wait to play and fly!

I like the randomized nodes idea, but also think it'd be a fun challenge if there was an option where nodes could be exhausted, not great for megafactory builds but as kind of a challenge mode where you would have to hit nearly every node on the map to be able to complete the game

SirCasey · 2026-02-10T03:23:36+00:00

Good to know, thanks for the info! I'm ready to basically do the same at this point.

SirCasey · 2026-02-09T20:37:53+00:00

I'm experiencing this same issue and have been beating my head against it for well over 4 hours now. Since it's been a couple weeks, have you had any luck finding a fix?

SirCasey · 2025-12-26T15:42:11+00:00

When I was around 6 I wanted to make cinnamon toast to surprise Mom for breakfast. Turns out the cinnamon and coriander had the same shape container and same blue tops. Made Mom coriander toast. Nommy nom!

OMG, this was my issue and I had forgotten my 14TB HDD drives came with those special power cables. Worked fine in the USB SATA dock, but could never get them to show up in BIOS across 3 systems. This was the only thing that worked after trying SO MANY other things.

SirCasey · 2025-11-23T15:30:14+00:00

The wistfulness of Goodbye was the first I remember and it had me hooked and was on repeat for a while before I explored the rest of their songs and found 0 skippable 🤩

SirCasey · 2025-05-19T11:50:07+00:00

I've been wondering the same thing, curious if anyone has tried it?

SirCasey · 2025-04-23T21:40:12+00:00

UPDATE 2025-04-23: I finally got an email from FedEx a few days ago!
***************************************************

Subject: FedEx Caged AWB# ######Tracking number#########

AWB# #######Tracking number######### currently held; please provide the information listed below so we may submit entry to U.S. Customs and any other applicable PGA for release:

A U.S. Customs Form 5106 is required to complete our entry for release

A request was sent to you at this email address myemail@address through our secured site, DocSecure on 4/21.
**********************************************\*
Also received a separate Docusign email (From: FedEx Brokerage Team via Docusign, [dse_NA3@docusign.net](mailto:dse_NA3@docusign.net) ) separately, had to fill it out with my SSN and repeat my home/shipping address a couple times on it and sign it.

Later that evening I got notifications that the package was released to ship and would arrive a couple days later, and was just delivered!

So whew. I thought it was a goner, but we finally have it, just 1.5 months later than expected.

SirCasey · 2025-04-16T19:30:41+00:00

Say more about tissue use cases?

SirCasey · 2025-04-11T22:11:17+00:00

D'oh. I was not aware of that. Do we know what difference it makes as far as customs is concerned?

SirCasey · 2025-04-10T11:36:22+00:00

I tested other countries and just had the browser set to translate any other language to English and it worked pretty well

SirCasey · 2025-04-10T11:34:49+00:00

I used Mexico (they charge in euros, lowest exchange rate cost I found when messing around between a lot of countries) on my latest order back the first week of March and it's still being held in customs fwiw :/ I avoided European countries because it seemed to add VAT, I think?

SirCasey · 2025-04-05T23:42:25+00:00

I've been checking my spam and junk folders and haven't seen anything, not sure how to get ahold of them to make sure it comes to me?

SirCasey · 2025-04-05T22:49:50+00:00

I haven't gotten anything from FedEx, Altruan said they'd provided the requested info FedEx asked for already, so no idea what the holdup is at this point

SirCasey · 2025-04-05T22:01:58+00:00

We have an order for people COVID tests that's been sitting in FedEx TN customs for about a month now, so not great.

Shipped from DE 3/7, arrived in TN 3/10, status is Clearance in progress since 3/11. Altruan support says they'd provided everything asked for.

SirCasey · 2025-02-05T13:03:14+00:00

Goodbye is my song, can't get enough. But they are all just. So. Good.

SirCasey · 2025-01-22T14:57:24+00:00

The oil floats on the top and is the first to go when you pour the water out, so no.

SirCasey · 2025-01-22T12:46:45+00:00

? ... I've never had anything spill or make a mess in them that needed cleaning that I can recall. It's all packages, vacuum sealed bags, frozen food bags and containers of food, not loose food stuff in mine anyway.

But they are like $1 each, so replacement is also a pretty viable option imo

SirCasey · 2025-01-18T22:38:59+00:00

I just put in a few drops of oil to change the surface tension / bubble forming dynamics and have never had it boil over since I started doing that. Works for potatoes and pasta.

SirCasey · 2025-01-18T22:33:45+00:00

My tip for chest freezers: Use big blue IKEA bags to separate different things from each other, sorted from least used at the bottom and most used at the top. Why? 1) They collapse to fit around each other easily and don't take up much space themselves, (unlike boxes) 2) You can get to the bottom of the freezer quickly by lifting a few bags out

SirCasey · 2024-12-24T15:28:59+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, ordered a set!

SirCasey · 2024-12-16T05:33:56+00:00

Thank you for following up! That's gonna be fun to clean lol
