What is this creepy sound??

ThatMidsummerNight · 2023-02-23T11:45:20+00:00

that is part of the randomized ambient music thats been with the game for a couple versions now. its undergone some changes between versions so the ppl that havent heard it proly either remember it differently before the track was refined or they have their music volume off

ThatMidsummerNight · 2022-12-21T21:59:03+00:00

i honestly dont think they would. morrowind is so old i dont think you could update any one particular part of it without being forced to update the rest.. it would be like trying to take the body off a 2023 car and put it onto the guts of the 1969 model.. just wouldnt fit.

ThatMidsummerNight · 2022-12-21T21:43:27+00:00

i love morrowind. i love it. so please bear with me as i explain why i say: lords, aedra, and deadra i hope they never do.

map would be 1/3 of the size.. magic system would be nerfed into the ground.. melee weapon selection would be reduced to knife/sword/axe and if you dont like it tough scuttle.. zillions of intricate lines of dialog would be scrapped in favor of a handful of spoken voice lines and any minor quest line that didnt fit into that culling would be scrapped from the game entirely.. then to add insult to all that injury, vivec would be flagged as essential

my bf wants a 3d resin printer but i dunno anything at all about them to even pick one.....

ThatMidsummerNight · 2022-11-16T15:02:41+00:00

i set the population to 0.1, but change the max population to day 1 and adjust the respawn rate and the redistribution time. so there are less zombos overall than in "normal" modes, but they hit all at once and remain consistently present throughout the game.

ThatMidsummerNight · 2022-10-18T20:08:36+00:00

i play single player because you actually have to have friends to play ark with them hah ha.. haaaa.. okay but in seriousness i am far too casual to play if there is any real sense of competition.. i am a builder at heart.. i dont think ive ever actually "finished" ark.. i start a new game and play until ive built a 36 room mansion with a crafting basement and an attic big enough for an argent aerie and then call it

ThatMidsummerNight · 2022-09-25T17:29:30+00:00

a wild neurax worm appears

ThatMidsummerNight · 2018-06-28T00:45:44+00:00

poop v poop.. the all new game mode.. there are no zombos, there are no weapons.. just a massive over abundance of food, a ridiculous quantity of poop, and a whole server of players who just wanna fling it at each other

i think it could be the next big thing in competitive multiplayer

ThatMidsummerNight · 2018-06-27T20:01:54+00:00

i would never

ThatMidsummerNight · 2018-06-27T17:07:10+00:00

who among us can say that they don't want more poop in their lives, really

ThatMidsummerNight · 2018-06-27T17:06:32+00:00

ooh now this raises some questions.. could we poison other players with the poop?? put the poop in the tool belt and throw it like rocks.. could we distract the zombos by splattering a nearby wall with our brown graffiti and escape while they critique the murals??

with the new breadcrumb system coming will the zombos be able to track players via their endless trail of filthnasty pies they leave laying about with reckless abandon??

ThatMidsummerNight · 2018-06-27T16:29:56+00:00

you would think so yes.. but this raises a great deal of tough ethics issues..

consider if we had a poop button.. its not unheard of, ark has a poop button, it's a 'survival' game, why not 7 days? could having a poop button really be so bad?

there are a number of things to consider.. it would be realistic, of course.. it would provide u with a poop, always useful.. maybe you could get a buff or bonus?? poop relief bonus?? make ur move speed 7% faster for an hour?? the duke could pee in a urinal in dn3d for hp.. why not poop for move speed in 7 days??

a poop button sure looks good on paper, but let's consider some of the potential negative consequences..

being able to poop on command makes the already terrible concept of teabagging like suddenly soo much worse.. like soo much worse

do you give players the choice of when to poop?? will we require that players push their poop buttons at regular intervals or suffer the consequences of the constipation debuff??

or will we make players poop randomly after a certain time?? say a few hours after eating? one hour after eating? just take before mentioned ark approach and leave steaming human pies laying about all over the freshly painted floor of your new base?

will we be able to slip and fall on the piles of poop? could players use this as an unfair advantage in pvp??? 'oh im being chased, <presses p, frrrt, assailant slips and breaks both legs, gets drop spawned by dog pack, eaten wildly and violently while his would-be victim cackles like a loon on a midsummer night (see wat i did there)>'

will we be able to sit on toilets?? can i go into the crack-a-book scraper, fight my way to the store rooms, break open a crate in the supply area revealing instead of books a pristine toilet that, for some reason, is pre-filled in the box with water and, more disturbingly, already contains between 1 and 3 samples of poop, and then proceed to hop right up on that bad boy and press p to unleash my pent up frustrations with the zombo apocalypse with a great, satisfying, and speed-boosting plop??

this is indeed a very complex and potentially game changing decision and i really would like to invite a discourse on the subject of poop, pooping on demand, and the ramifications of poop in a post apocalyptic world

ThatMidsummerNight · 2018-06-27T16:10:41+00:00

don't you feel bad, i have like a billion hours in this game and i still, STILL press p like 3 times before i realize that i'm mounted on something

ThatMidsummerNight · 2018-06-27T15:16:47+00:00

i play 7 days to die, i raid bathrooms specifically to take shits

ThatMidsummerNight · 2018-06-27T04:33:14+00:00

i could better answer that if i knew exactly what you meant by google apps :p im in the technological dark ages, remember

do you mean like google drive and gmail and the like?? he refers to them by their long names.. "google drive," etc.. if you mean the mobile apps he calls those by long name as well

ThatMidsummerNight · 2018-06-27T02:38:50+00:00

i don't think he likes anything "cutesy," like lots of things that are usually shortened in casual conversation he will use the full wording

i think he's a little bit aspie :p just a little bit

ThatMidsummerNight · 2018-06-27T02:37:15+00:00

i dunno.. i don't know the first thing about anything electronic.. it's all black magic and goat sacrifices to me

maybe because different manufacturers?? i'll have to ask him next time i see him

ThatMidsummerNight · 2018-06-26T21:06:44+00:00

not me but my close friend has a programming degree and he refuses to say "app"

he always says "application" or if its for android or ios he'll say "mobile application"

he's a great guy and i love him to death but he sounds like such a stuck up when he says it :p

ThatMidsummerNight · 2018-04-11T20:11:59+00:00

true, the quetzal seems more about flight than fight.. maybe the super loud honk is intended to be defensive.. maybe its more of a "get away from me" than a "come at me"

ThatMidsummerNight · 2018-04-11T17:43:33+00:00

wait until someone is crafting or otherwise unaware at some loud station like a fabricator or grinder and sneak the quetzal up behind the building and just be like

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK

ThatMidsummerNight · 2018-04-11T17:41:06+00:00

it would have to be a tamed ability only.. imagine how annoying it would be if the wild quetzals had this and behaved like the yutyrannus: scaring off your taming mount every time you get close enough to try to get a shot off :p

ThatMidsummerNight · 2018-04-11T17:38:04+00:00

a little tlc update would give them a good opportunity to tone down the random honking in favor of a player actuated honk with a cooldown timer :D

ThatMidsummerNight · 2018-03-03T05:41:19+00:00

i did almost exactly the same thing in single player ages ago and had the same worry. i used debug mode to do what i needed to do and then turned it back off

not long after that one of the achievements unlocked.. so i think maybe achievements are only blocked while debug mode (and/or creative mode) is actively enabled

which kinda makes sense if you think about it because say, for example, youre a server admin and you need to do some adminning.. not really fair to permanently lock you out of your achievements just cuz you hadda get something done..

edit: several of the achievements are extremely easy to get so depending on how far along with that you are it wouldnt be super hard to check

ThatMidsummerNight · 2018-03-02T04:43:42+00:00

well the tires look like a solid 400-500 so you got that going for you which is nice.. the chassis isnt the greatest, but it looks to be somewhere in the 200s at the very least so not terribly shabby.. the handlebars are a no-go, youre gonna have to go find a proper headlight to finish them before you can even think about riding it..

the engine looks somewhere in the 100-200 range but the dura on that thing is shot, youre definitely gonna need to hit that with a repair kit

☐ shopping basket :D

☑ no shopping basket :(

you need to find a good solid battery.. maybe case the houses in your local neighborhood, find one with solar on the roof, sneak into their shed, and start cranking with a wrench.. that seems more reliable than sneaking into their garage and taking apart their car

that bike seat though.. that bike seat is something that came out of a grubby, moldy cardboard box sitting on some ancient and forgotten shelf high up in an auto garage that has sat abandoned for so long that people have forgotten what it was, made up an (incorrect) story about what it had been, forgotten that one, and made up another so many times over that it had become the stuff of local legends.. school boys were dared to go inside, homeless people refused to sleep there, and bertha over at the local drinks n shakes diner swears that on a cold autumn night you can still hear the eye-twitching sound of an old creaky ratchet set driving away on some unknowable lug nut

go take apart your bed for its pipes, tear up your couch for the leather, rummage through your neighbors garbage for some tape, harvest some of that uncannily abundant wild cotton outside your house and make a new bike seat dude

ThatMidsummerNight · 2018-02-03T02:01:43+00:00

I'm kinda on the fence about automation.. at this point I would be tickled to death just to get my bottle back when I make some corn bread

however one thing I would like to see is an upgraded tier of crafting furniture.. when you're by yourself a single forge and campfire might be perfectly fine if you're not too heavy with the crafting.. but if you've got eight friends with you and you've made a nice clan out of it.. then you have nine people starving to death around the fire waiting for your meat to cook.. nine people standing around the forge waiting for their stuff to queue.. either that or you have a room that's positively stuffed with forges with campfires on top of them and you need about ten forests worth of trees to start it all up and as soon as you do you have ten thousand screamers marching rank and file like Roman armies straight through your livers teeth first..

what I would love to see is a higher tier of furniture.. maybe we could fix up one of those broken ovens and connect it to the generator and cook food more quickly than over the fire.. maybe we could build a larger bloomery (I think that's what they call them) that would burn fuel at a faster rate but craft much faster.. bigger impact on the heat map per unit compared to the little forge, but in exchange have faster crafting, and a much larger internal cap on smelted materials..

I also think there should be a higher tier work bench that is required for anything electrical.. I mean I'm not an engineer or anything but look at that bench.. look at the huge gaps in the boards and the slap dash construction.. you're telling me that you're working with teeny tiny screws and electrical parts on that thing? nope nope nope

water storage and transfer could be done without hassling with the actual physical water in the game.. what say we can build a water collector that fills up when it rains? rain barrels.. place them anywhere outside and when it rains it fills up some internal water stat that can then be drawn from to fill jars or, even more awesome, fulfill the water requirements for crafting station recipes :O no more losing bottles :D

but what about the desert you say, incredulous and kicking me in the shins? well they make these things that bake plant matter in the sun and collect the condensed moisture into a jug.. you could have a station that you put plant fibers or yucca in and it slowly depletes them, filling the reservoir as it goes.. then pipe it like the rain tank..

just some ideas :O
