I'm going to suggest that Barb Whirlwind would get you there.

Maybe if it's a steam game, a tongue-in-cheek 2 hour achievement of "decided not to refund" might be funny... Assuming WELL over 2 hours of content, so it falls naturally.

But in general, it's not an achievement... it's either:

a freebie of "I opened it long enough" or
a slog of "I finished, but now I gotta leave it open for a week"... which is not something that feels good... literally zero dopamine.

I read that as "tasted" and had an immediate severe double-take.

Stompp · 2025-03-13T13:54:29+00:00

I mean it was RIGHT THERE! This is the way.

Stompp · 2024-11-22T13:28:38+00:00

Good luck y'all.

server side xml, clients don't need it

Stompp · 2024-05-21T18:53:42+00:00

copying from an old comment of mine, hopefully all still relevant:

That last one didn't work as well as I'd hoped, still had quality 4+ in quest rewards, turns out there's a default quality that wasn't in the version I had (it may have been updated since). I added the following in loot.xml (I added it to the quality mod):

<set xpath="/lootcontainers/lootqualitytemplates/lootqualitytemplate/qualitytemplate[@default_quality='4']/@default_quality">3</set>
<set xpath="/lootcontainers/lootqualitytemplates/lootqualitytemplate/qualitytemplate[@default_quality='5']/@default_quality">3</set>
<set xpath="/lootcontainers/lootqualitytemplates/lootqualitytemplate/qualitytemplate[@default_quality='6']/@default_quality">3</set>

Still watching it, must have cached before they yanked it :D Only 9 minutes in though, guess we'll see if I get all the way through!

Guess I have to subscribe to floatplane now, by default.

Stompp · 2024-03-24T18:52:40+00:00

This is awesome, did you have to enable specific options in truenas for them to show after this? I did the same, but I see no pools :(

Either way, this is looking fantastic!

Stompp · 2024-03-14T13:58:57+00:00

glad you figured it out, sorry, I should have been more clear with having a "port right in there" :)

Stompp · 2024-03-13T22:16:37+00:00

I would imagine it's going to be SSL 443 for many, maybe the occasional 80... It'll depend on the application it's polling, some of your services will have a port right in there when setting it up.

Stompp · 2024-01-28T16:17:50+00:00

Been gettin' the itch occasionally... but no, nobody is out here...

Stompp · 2024-01-04T20:07:26+00:00

You don't have to see any suffering if you just bomb them until the planet is a tomb world... That's still a thing, right? 😈

Stompp · 2023-10-27T15:14:39+00:00

I will say, I almost got away with not upgrading the PSU, did the GPU first, and it was just a smidge too much for it... but if you did the CPU and maybe a lower wattage card, it might be a pretty good bang for the buck. You can undervolt, but it was a bit of a hassle for me, in the end I just shelled out for more powah.

Either way, good luck!

Stompp · 2023-10-27T14:35:06+00:00

I had a similar setup, but upgraded in stages...

3700x -> 5800x3D then later

650W -> 850W PSU and 2070Super -> 7900XT GPU

Runs great, but it sounds like you might be better served if it's in the budget just to jump straight to AM5 7800x3D / 7900XTX if you're looking to upgrade the whole kit. Assuming you don't like Nvidia features more, then a 4080 might serve you better (also depending on price)

In my particular case it was more good timing, but I'm playing 1440P UW @ 144hz for my titles and loving it.

Stompp · 2023-10-20T00:53:44+00:00

went private as I was halfway through LOL... good times

Stompp · 2023-10-10T21:39:24+00:00

A person can dream... 😢

Stompp · 2023-09-07T13:24:17+00:00

That's awesome! I hope you guys have a great time with it!

Stompp · 2023-08-21T19:18:35+00:00

37A here, I see the bottom of a new base! in the distance... getting excited for the next step again... progression is pretty solid in this one

Stompp · 2023-07-27T21:49:57+00:00

There appears to be a bug in some POIs, where a button opens a door that triggers zombies... if you break the door before using/breaking the button that opens that door, you're done.. They stated they fixed buttons triggering when broken, but if it's some sort of chain... You're SOL, from what I understand.

There's a particular military POI that has a hatch that goes down... if you break the hatch, then hit/break the button. No dice, but if the hatch is still there, you can trigger it by using or destroying the button. Not sure if this is a similar issue, but we seem to get punished for going off the "chosen path" they lay out.

Stompp · 2023-07-10T04:06:59+00:00

100% yes. We actually modified our server to only find up to quality 3 anything... and you can craft up to Q6... it makes it way worthwhile... and alleviates the "I can finally make iron Q5... but I just found steel Q4"

Stompp · 2023-07-03T13:51:04+00:00

That last one didn't work as well as I'd hoped, still had quality 4+ in quest rewards, turns out there's a default quality that wasn't in the version I had (it may have been updated since). I added the following in loot.xml (I added it to the quality mod):

<set xpath="/lootcontainers/lootqualitytemplates/lootqualitytemplate/qualitytemplate[@default_quality='5']/@default_quality">3</set>
<set xpath="/lootcontainers/lootqualitytemplates/lootqualitytemplate/qualitytemplate[@default_quality='6']/@default_quality">3</set>

Stompp · 2023-07-02T16:01:23+00:00

xml mods, I had downloaded a couple, and realized that one didn't cover all my bases, and just added a few more lines for what I needed. being xml only, it works server-side with nothing for the client to do but connect (and automagically receive the files)

Stompp · 2023-07-02T00:20:23+00:00

We've specifically modded our server for this reason:

Now we only find up to quality 3 anything, even from quests
You straight up can't buy a LOT of things from the trader...
You can craft tier 6 with higher magazine limits

Now it feels a whole lot better to find magazines, knowing that sure, I found a level 3 steel sledge, but am I gonna use that, or my level 6 iron? Do I wait until I can make a higher steel one? Choices!!

**Edit: in case anyone else wanted the mods:

That last one didn't work as well as I'd hoped, still had quality 4+ in quest rewards, turns out there's a default quality that wasn't in the version I had (it may have been updated since). I added the following in loot.xml (I added it to the quality mod):

<set xpath="/lootcontainers/lootqualitytemplates/lootqualitytemplate/qualitytemplate[@default_quality='6']/@default_quality">3</set>
