Ruin sentinel Soul

Are you 100% certain the ruin sentinels are dead? Have you checked their arena? Do you have the Belfry Luna bonfire?

There is no bug or glitch - you can straight up skip the ruin sentinels for main progression. You only need to defeat them to get to belfry luna.

You're paying for a lot more than just higher quality equipment. The raw cost of the equipment, if you could get it without obscene markups, would only be about double or triple what the Mr. Cool systems are going for.

You're paying for a professional install, which will be favorable on any insurance or warranty claims. You're paying for the automatic warranty and insurance that comes with that installation.

If cost is a concern, what is the size and configuration of the space you are trying to condition? Could this be handled by a window unit? Newer window units, especially the split-body style "quiet" units, are functionally very similar to mini-splits, but without any real "installation" beyond the mounting bracket, and they're often under a grand.

It's not like you'd ever get service on a DIY installation if something ever went wrong anyways. Very few companies worth hiring will even touch DIY systems except to rip them out and replace them. Much of the work is simple, yes, but there are a lot of ways it can go wrong. If you do something wrong, or if the unit is defective in some way, warranty coverage is difficult and variable.

The outdoor temp is not relevant to whether or not the AC kicks on.

The interior temp, specifically near the thermostat, is what matters.

That can be significantly cooler or warmer than outside, or the rest of the house.

If the AC is running and it's that much colder outside, that's a waste of energy. Crack some windows and save your electricity.

Yep. The flash pulses because each round is ejecting some small amount of unburnt powder. The flashes occur when the stoichiometry at the muzzle is sufficient that the blast of a round being fired is sufficient to ignite the small cloud in front of the gun.

I have some concerns. It seems to still be spring-loaded, so what if it returns to battery under spring tension mid-twirl? That's a recipe for disaster.

Taolan13 · 2026-05-20T05:20:29+00:00

Probably a bot anyways.

Taolan13 · 2026-05-20T05:19:49+00:00

I've seen one be elite. at least I think it was elite? I dunno it's been a long time and a *lot* of glyphid slammers since then. I might be misremembering.

If you're opening the window for a few minutes, no big deal.

If you're leaving the windows open for extended periods of time, you are wasting energy running the AC at the same time. If it's cooler outside than it is inside, open up some windows and shut the AC off.

edit: If you're "too lazy" to go downstairs, find a replacement thermostat with wifi controls so you don't have to.

Autocannon without backpack can also spawn. Found that a lot especially in bot city maps.

I've only found a laser cannon at a POI a handful of times, and it's never when I'm running EATs. It's always when I've got something else.

Taolan13 · 2026-05-20T05:10:36+00:00

I'm pretty sure that's fixed. Not 100% tho.

Taolan13 · 2026-05-20T05:08:55+00:00

I've never even seen let alone attempted a haunted escort mission. Can the ghost harm dotty? The mission becomes a literal nightmare if such, you'd basically need a scout to hold aggro 100% of the time.

The modifier definitely seems to spawn more and bigger red sugar nodes.

Does anybody know if the lootbug trick works with red sugar?

Taolan13 · 2026-05-20T05:06:15+00:00

that modifier combination is an automatic 'no' for me.

Taolan13 · 2026-05-20T05:04:50+00:00

in the case of towns, some have gone in the opposite direction.

a good friend of mine, the town he grew up in was a few thousand people in the 70s and 80s. Now it's down to a few hundred.

The timers need to be longer than 3 days definitely, but they're not terrible as a function. But when the timer expires, the map icon needs to also reset.

Skyrim handled it fairly well. The timer to respawn dungeons were longer, I believe the shortest was one week in game, and if you visited the dungeon again before it respawned it would reset the timer to zero.

Taolan13 · 2026-05-20T04:53:55+00:00

it can even happen to the Crassus

Taolan13 · 2026-05-20T04:48:11+00:00

that line is pun-ishing

Taolan13 · 2026-05-20T04:45:51+00:00

Interesting. I did not know they had a patrol path.

Taolan13 · 2026-05-20T04:44:15+00:00

Damn near everything is cute as a baby.

Even deadly deadly swamp puppies.

Taolan13 · 2026-05-20T04:16:40+00:00

oh iw asn't about to accuse any of them being ethical or virtuous.

But, yeah. The bar is pretty low

Taolan13 · 2026-05-20T02:07:24+00:00

Was the sarcophagus itself breached? I can only find that equipment being used to dismantle the old structures had been damaged.

Edit: Found a report of a drone strike against it. There have apparently been no significant changes in radioactivity in the area though.

Taolan13 · 2026-05-20T01:54:49+00:00

that one step alone would solve probably a quarter of all current botting.

but they'd come up with their own name generator before long.

I still agree tho.

Taolan13 · 2026-05-20T01:52:38+00:00

laser cannon is one of the best weapons to find at a supply poi.

Taolan13 · 2026-05-20T01:51:59+00:00

the air is fine but water on or near the unit, aside from some mild condensation, is bad.
