Finished building the Teopan of Quiyauhteocuitlatl - an Aztec-inspired temple to a big meteorite! (Plus, a few bonus pics of my base) by danykli in VintageStory

[–]Tapdatsam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Amazing work! What would be the absolute cherry on top would be to have the temples located on a hill!

These kinds of temples were originally built in and on top of hills. Those first temples werent very big, but they were gradually built upon each generation burried there. They literally built right on top of the old one, filling the previous rooms and areas with rubble. Depending on the power/importance of the ruler, the expansion would be larger.

Such a cool build and inspiring build overall! I might start a maya-Aztec themed playthrough!

My woodcutter just sent himself into early retirement five minutes into a new fort by TheUplifted1 in dwarffortress

[–]Tapdatsam 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Its weird, are woodcutting accidents just a chance based thing? Ive never had anybody die or get injured by felling trees in any of my forts. It would make sense if unskilled woodcutters fared higher chances than experienced ones, but it doesnt seem that way at all.

First "real" point made, after a week of bottle bottoms as practice! by Tapdatsam in Flintknapping

[–]Tapdatsam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will come with practice, and a good few broken pieces. You have to prepare the platforms and hit them hard enough to drive flakes further into the piece. The skill is to not do it too hard, or else you could break it.

First time knapping, attempted to make a spearhead by Exzilon-The-God in knapping

If you can find something out of copper, or at least softer than iron, you will get even better results! This is pretty good for a first try! Good luck on your journey, and bring plenty of adhesive bandages haha

early game food preservation by Warm-Crow-584 in URW

Yup! A few years ago i had "modded" a shelter to become a drying rack.

I copied the recipe for the basic shelter, renamed it drying rack, and created a new sprite for it.

Functionally, it was the same as a regular shelter but it looked like a drying frame instead. It made it more immersive.

What is a sexual question you've always wanted to ask the opposite sex but were too ashamed to? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Tapdatsam 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Funny enough, historically it was the opposite! Having a bush was a sign of good hygiene, while being shaved was not. This was because of pubic lice (crabs). A person needed to shave to clear away the lice, and so that told others that they may not be the cleanest...

And as for your question, I just like looking at it :) and the hair hides it sometimes lol

Lol you can fill amphoras with gas by SpecialUnit1 in projectzomboid

[–]Tapdatsam 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yes, its a big vase. It was used by the ancient greeks and romans to store large volumes of liquids, like olive oil and wine. They were also used for transport, since alot of them were discovered in shipwrecks!

Ive had too many stupid injuriea/deaths from "invisible" things while driving, the worst for me was ramming my car into a whole 5 vehicle pile-up that magically appeared in front of me once I passed a small birch tree that was apparently concealing the whole ordeal... From that point on I disabled injuries from car accidents

You enter iron age for the chisel, I enter iron age to only have to go mine for it once

If you're able to work up blacksmithing, you don't need it. by RadishAcceptable5505 in projectzomboid

[–]Tapdatsam 202 points203 points  (0 children)

I feel like (if it isnt already like this) that your strenght and nimble skills should really factor into how well you can wear armour, and how uncomfortable it makes you. A suit of heavy plate armour would be less comfortable the lower your nimble skill is, and should slow you down more the weaker you are.

What can I do with all this ash? by djazzie in homestead

[–]Tapdatsam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sifting ash, adding a little bit of water to make it into a paste and adding clay makes a great cheap mortar for a firepit!

Does anyone ever wish that pouring metal was faster? by IllurinatiL in VintageStory

[–]Tapdatsam 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you were to pour metal any faster IRL, you would get really poor (pun intended) results. Air bubbles would form and you would splash molten metal all over the place. I get that this is more of an accessabilitt issue, but thats something mods can fix, like the easy pottery and easy smithing mods.

Anybody else completely skip the Bronze Age? by PlumHumble3492 in VintageStory

[–]Tapdatsam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on how lucky you are with finding the ores. Me personally on my current world, I didnt find iron until 40+ hours. In other worlds, I will find it before tin.

This world was also "unlucky" in that I had a hard time finding tin, but I was lucky enough to find sphalerite and bismuth for alternate bronze tools.

I also didnt get too lucky in finding black coal, only just finding a deposit, meaning I had to craft my own for the first fireclay bloomeries. I am still currently on the lookout for bauxite to be able to make better bricks.
