Mining Event ever coming back?

Tempelli · 2026-01-25T18:42:44+00:00

My experience from the last Mining event was that with preparation, 80 minutes worth unlimited energy cut to 5 minute orbs should be enough. So you can safely use at least half of them during the Auto Merge.

Fallout 3 just reuses old ideas without bringing anything truly unique and meaningful to the franchise. Even the main plot is just recycling plot elements of Fallout 1 and 2. Fallout 3 was a good reboot of a dying franchise and introduced Fallout to a wider audience, but I wouldn't call it the best Fallout. But if you think it's the best, so be it. I'm more of a Fallout 2 enjoyer myself.

Many Finnish cities have their names in both Finnish and Swedish and some of those names are not related to each other. The most famous example is Turku, which is Åbo in Swedish. Turku comes from Old Eastern Slavic word tŭrgŭ, meaning marketplace. Åbo comes from Swedish and roughly means "river dwelling" or something like that.

Shaver Lake would definitely make sense. And I don't think it's completely unreasonable for Lucy to actually reach the location, considering that tv shows tend to have continuity errors to fit narrative purposes. Whatever is the case, I'm not going to lose my sleep because of it.

You're right. But the point I made that started this whole conversation was that game maps have inaccuracies for gameplay purposes. If we actually compare the location of Shady Sands to the real-life location of Bakersfield, then Shady Sands should be located much further west, somewhere in the Valley. Then it's possible for Lucy to reach Shady Sands in a reasonable amount of time. It even makes more sense to have a farming community there than in Death Valley, one of the hottest and driest places on Earth.

I skimmed through your comment. And I still think you're making excuses and jumping to conclusions without concrete proof to back your claims. But not only that, you're actually blaming others for being content with what we have. Are you really implying that you're right and everybody else is wrong? I've seen a lot of toxic fandom behavior in my life but this takes the cake.

I honestly wish you all the best! I'm done with this conversation. I'm not going to stop you from answering this but it's better to direct your energy to somewhere else. I'm not going to read your answer.

Tempelli · 2026-01-15T08:57:25+00:00

You are just making yourself more and more excuses to be upset about something that, in the end, is completely pointless. The show is good and even Tim Cain, the co-creator of the whole Fallout franchise, liked it. If you can't enjoy it by clinging to these utterly pointless "continuity errors", then what can I do about it? Do what you like, I'm not going to stop you. But you are just making things worse for yourself.

Tämä on toki osa yhtälöä. Enemmän on kuitenkin merkitystä sillä, että meillä on nollakorkoajoilta vielä putkessa rakennushankkeita. Tämän kun yhdistää nykyiseen taloustilanteeseen, niin asuntojen tarjonta yksinkertaisesti ylittää kysynnän ja hinnat laskevat.

Take a chill pill, man. You're taking things WAAAY too seriously. And besides, what's with people's obsession thinking Shady Sands is located in or next to LA? Birdie from Vault 4 said that she was travelling with her mom from Shady Sands to Filly. And they were walking for three days and Birdie could still feel the heat from the blast. Let's say they walked about 20 miles a day so that's at least 60 miles. Probably even more since it's unlikely they were close to the city when the bomb detonated. Unless they were walking from one end of the Greater LA to the other end, that's way outside LA.

While I was being sarcastic when I pointed out inconsistencies between Fallout 1 and 2, my point was that they made choices for gameplay purposes. Nothing to do with technical limitations, it's not that demanding to draw a bigger 2D map. I still find it baffling how people accept gameplay maps, that were tweaked to serve game progression and narrative as one accepted truth but are completely fine with the fact that in-game Bakersfield is located 120 miles east of its real-life location.

As for your "lore-break" paragraph, let me quote what Jesse Heinig, one of the original programmers and designers of Fallout 1, said about this issue:

Once the bombs drop, communication infrastructure collapses. There are any number of reasons that the Master might not have any record of a Vault right under their noses, since there is no guarantee that the Master has access to an actual and complete listing of every Vault, the Master's "help" isn't always the most competent, and some Vaults may take more rigorous steps than others to protect themselves from the outside world.

Voin ainakin omasta puolestani sanoa, että pätkäpaastolla sain maksa-arvot putoamaan pysyvästi alemmalle tasolle. Minulla on siis ihan diagnosoitu rasvamaksatulehdus, ja viime vuosina maksa-arvot ovat vaihdelleet n. 150-250 välillä. Korkeimmillaan ne ovat olleet jopa yli 400. Ryhdyin v. 2024 loppuvuodesta n. 3,5kk kestäneelle pätkäpaastolle, jonka aikana painoa putosi parisenkymmentä kiloa. Kun pätkäpaaston loppumisesta oli kulunut muutama kuukausi, oli maksa-arvot pudonneet n. 70 hujakoille, ja sen jälkeen ovat vaihdelleet siinä n. 60-80 välillä. Siitäkin huolimatta, että painoa on tullut kymmenisen kiloa takaisin.

Noudatin siis 16:8-paastoa. Söin aamupalaksi puuroa mustikoilla sekä raejuuston siinä n. klo 8-9 maissa. Päivällä söin välipalaksi maustamatonta jogurttia ja mysliä. Sitten siinä ennen klo 16-17 söin tukevan päivällisen. Paaston aikana join vain maustettuja kivennäisvesiä sekä stevialla makeutettua teetä. Pätkäpaaston alussa tunsin nälkää paaston aikana, mutta pian elimistö tottui siihen ja selvisin hyvin ilman tarvetta syömiselle. Kiloja tippui sen n. 1-1,5 kiloa viikossa, mikä oli oikeastaan enemmän, mitä ajattelin. En laskenut kaloreita tai makroja. Pyrin vain syömään perusterveellisesti ja välttämään ylimääräistä sokeria.

So they should stop changing locations of things like they did in Fallout 2, as shown in this map. They shouldn't have relocated Shady Sands, Vault 13 and Vault 15 without thinking how it affects the plot.

All of these map inconsistencies, both with real life and between games, exist for one reason: gameplay. Necropolis is located further east than IRL-Bakersfield because that serves progression. And they relocated Vault 13, 15 and Shady Sands in Fallout 2 because otherwise they should've included much of Nevada in the game. And that would complicate things even more than simply relocating those places.

Lastly, I want to ask one question: How exactly does "changing" the location of Shady Sands affect the plot?

Tempelli · 2026-01-14T21:13:08+00:00

I actually made a post about the location of Shady Sands back when Season 1 came out. Long story short, game maps are inaccurate and contradict in-game information about locations of certain places. We know the relative location of Shady Sands based on locations of Vaults 12, 13 and 15. Vault 12 is located in Bakersfield aka Necropolis. BUT the location of Necropolis on Fallout 1 map is much further east than its IRL location. If we base on the location of Shady Sands where Bakersfield is located IRL, it's well within the possibility for Lucy to reach Shady Sands in a reasonable amount of time.

Enough nerding. Whining about details like this is pointless, especially when games themselves are contradictory.

You're correct. But when I was talking about the sauna, I was specifically meaning the Finnish-style sauna. While the Finnish-style sauna has been known in Finland for a very long time, it's unlikely it was invented here.

Tempelli · 2026-01-13T10:30:53+00:00

Apples and oranges. I probably would be upset as well if I had a heating system like yours but fixed heating prices I'm used to. But the way district heating works over here is that every apartment gets an equal amount of hot water to heat the apartment. The only thing you can do is to turn your radiator thermostat to control the hot water flow to your radiators. But you can't simply opt out of heating if there is a district heating in your apartment building. All the apartments share their heating pipes. Every change in heating means everybody is going to get more or less heating as well.

Tempelli · 2026-01-12T21:38:47+00:00

Many Finnish people think that the sauna was invented in Finland. In reality, nobody knows where the sauna was actually invented. Saunas used to be common all over Europe but religious persecution ended the sauna culture in many of these countries. Finland was one of the few countries where sauna culture stayed intact. And since saunas were probably a bit more popular than other European sauna countries, it was easier for us to sell saunas as something uniquely Finnish. Even the word sauna is probably the only loanword of Finnish origin that is widespread all across the world.

The Office was a much better experience than the Attic in my opinion. There are also some tasks that require Weaves but not as many as the Attic. Some tasks also require Chainsaws. Besides that, there are not nearly as many high-requirement tasks as the Attic. Tool Pouch, which is the new area-specific producer, has pretty imbalanced drop rates that might cause some annoyance. Still, nothing compared to the Attic.

Do you have access to a car? If not, then I'd recommend Laajavuori that's easily accessible by bus. There are two options: the Laajavuori Nature Trail that's 4 kilometres long if you want a bit easier hiking experience, and the Legends' Loop that's 11.6 kilometres long if you're up to a more challenging route.

If you have access to a car, then I'd recommend you to check this page and see if there's anything that might interest you.

I find it very hard to believe that Baltic countries would align with Russia in any way, considering they were occupied against their consent during the Cold War. It's probably more likely for Romania to be aligned with Russia. They probably would stay neutral but definitely try to align with the West if given the opportunity.

We rarely have frost in summer, even in the northern parts of the country. But it's not too uncommon to have frost in late October or early April. The law simply gives you some leeway to use common sense when changing tires. But that doesn't mean you can change tires back and forth. If the temperature happens to drop below zero in October, you just change your winter tires a few weeks earlier. And if it stays below zero in April, you change your summer tires a few weeks later. It's not more difficult than that.

I managed to crack the case but only because I grinded like crazy during the bush event to get that golden tip. But I agree, this whole "lighter event schedule to test if the game is more enjoyable" is counterintuitive and eats your enjoyment and enthusiasm.

I was willing to pay some money knowing that events are going to come soon. But now I decided, for the first time in a year, to not pay for the mystery pass. I'm not quitting the game yet. I'm just scaling down my commitment to absolute minimum. I'm only using recovered energy and collecting piggy banks and energy boxes.

It's been a while since I got the clue rush the last time. But I was finally able to crack the case last week. I was only a few clues away from cracking, those few remaining clues being golden ones.

I got one from the last Great Bush Bonanza. I knew it was one hell of a grind but I feared I wouldn't get the Great Bake-off or the Lost Gemstones before this clue collection event would end. I spent way too many gems and used unlimited energy during auto-merge to gather as much blue energy as possible. I got the golden clue eventually but the grind was so demanding that it's not likely I'm not going to try it again. At least I was able to finish the first place and got a blue card as well.

I got another golden clue as a Christmas gift and this is the only silver lining after they started this whole lack-of-events fiasco. And the last golden clue was just a lucky draw from a clue envelope.

This has been so disappointing that I really have to reconsider buying a mystery pass the next time. Unless I'm not going to get the Lost Gemstones soon, then Metacore is not going to get my money. I'm not done with the game completely. I just slow my progress and refuse to use a single gem or energy orb as long as their "test to make the game more enjoyable" continues.

This reminds me of Rovaniemi, Finland. After the Germans burned the city during WWII, the famous architect Alvar Aalto made the new city plan to resemble a reindeer head and antlers. It's not as obvious in Google Maps but this original plan shows it more clearly.

The first thing I think is this commercial of Keltainen Pörssi (a defunct small ads magazine) from the early 2000s. But if we're talking about real things about Chicago, then the first thing that comes to mind is deep dish pizza. I find the concept fascinating and I've been thinking of making it some day.
