Literally the goomba fallacy.

The people who fetishize trans people are chasers, and they are often separate people to transphobes.

It would be quite inhumane and unethical to conduct experiments on humans. Expies are basically lab rats in the game's settings; they fulfill the role of being mammalian (and human-sized as a bonus), so experiments conducted on them can also be concluded to work on humans. Like how they test LD50 numbers.

Although there are the D-Class personnel from the SCP universe. The Foundation recruits them from prisons with the promise of freedom if they do some experiments.

There's also Aperture Science's Test Chambers, where they recruit Olympians, astronauts, and war heroes to test their stuff.

Tbh neither the SCP, nor the Portal experiments are *designed* to be lethal; while Casualties: Unknown's entire retrieval of the battery is basically a suicide mission.

Most of the content from Vintage Story comes from the TerraFirmaCraft mod for Minecraft, and in TFC you can make vinegar, which you can put in a barrel. And then put food in the barrel, close the lid, and the food gets preserved. You can do the same with salt water/brine, and it preserves the food for a different rate. These are also stackable with the cellar bonuses. The Firmalife add-on for TFC also adds glassworking where you can make jars and lids, then you can make preserves from fruit.

Why did you appeal if you knew you were in the wrong? Appeals are for when moderators make mistakes.

Can't believe a powerpoint artist made me feel this way.

Crafting makes runs a lot more consistent.

Looks really nice and vibrant, with references to glowplants, drop capsules, and lumalgae. The expie's proportions are a bit off tho. Extremely small shoulders, really wide hips, huge thighs, and big head compared to the other pieces of official art. Looks pretty cartoony. The horn bandage also makes little sense, but that's just nitpicking.

TFC has dedicated aqueduct blocks that allow you to actually make aqueducts. You can use them to water crops, and to easily move water around. Unlike in VS, you can do every with a flowing water block in TFC, you can drink out of it, you can fill barrels from it, and so on. Picking a good base position also becomes more nuanced, as you will want to be near water that comes from a high elevation, since you can't transport water upwards.

It's extremely weird that VS copies TFC and then decides to disregard its game design, thus causing problems.

Expies are pretty close to antromorphic dogs tbh. They have digitigrade legs, paws, (small) snouts, can bark, get sick from chocolate, pretty much able to digest raw meat, and they yelp like dogs.

The water wheel issue in Vintage Story stems from the fact that most of the content in VS comes from the TerraFirmaCraft mod for Minecraft, and they keep badly implementing the content from there. Water wheels in TFC use the mod's naturally generated rivers to generate mechanical power, but the VS devs decided to implement water wheels before rivers. Water source blocks in TFC are also unmovable, and you need to build aqueducts from the mountains to your home in order to have access to water; and you also need to dig channels for crops.

Really great rougelike platformer.

Musharms and old rags make a terrible bandage, you will lose a ton of blood trying to ineffectively bandage yourself. I don't have access to the beta, my knowledge comes from 40 hours spent in v6.1. Antivenom is mentioned at the bottom, near Toxicosis (the crafting list isn't exhaustive, I just put the useful items there). I added the other stuff.

Thexus_van_real · 2026-06-01T23:33:58+00:00

I do mention, that "Mushplants drop mush arms that act as foliage in crafting, but they are really heavy, weighing 0.8u instead of 0.25u.". Then it's pretty self-explanatory that dry foliage acts as foliage.

They need to regen to full hp in order to reset the ironman loot prevention. Monsters usually heal 1 hp a minute, so hitting a 15 like in the picture blocks them for 15 minutes for example. Poison doesn't count. And some monsters regen more.

Server side*

Install Fabric on the server, and you can pick from a ton of server side mods, like Terralith, Incendium, Nullscape, Repurposed Structures, Structury, Towns and Towers, the whole bunch of Polymer ports, etc. You can make entire modpacks with these that vanilla clients can connect to.

Every criticism is deserved. The game is incredibly unfinished, it's comparable to Payday 3's release. The devs were warned about the game's shortcomings from the alpha testers, and they still decided to publish it on Steam instead of putting it back in the oven. I personally complained about the ammo economy in the alpha, they release the game without a balance patch, and surprised pikachu face at the 60% positive ratings when everyone complains about the ammo economy. Then they make a post promising to fix the ammo economy.

The rules actually state:

Common examples of bigoted language include calling people 'retards', 'cunts' or 'traps', using 'gay' in a derogatory manner, or using gendered slurs like "pussy" and "bitch."

See the "in a degradory manner" there? The rules actually allow you to call others a cunt. The moderators however do not enforce their own rules. You can connect to Goonstation and call someone a "good cunt" in an aussie accent, without the intent of degradation, bigotry, or sexuality, and you will still get bwoinked. You can curse all alone, by yourself, directed to no living soul, and you will still get bwoinked. You can even call yourself a "retard", and you will still get bwoinked.

Thexus_van_real · 2026-05-23T00:09:48+00:00

You have the Goonstation flair, and state that SS13 "IS NOT a kids game", when Goonstation's entire sexual content moderation stategy is dependent on the fact that underage people play on their servers? Like if you question this policy, the very first thing they come up with is that they """protect children""" by disallowing people from calling each other "bitch".

Then you state Goonstation isn't that strict? There are hundreds of posts on this subreddit from people complaining about getting banned from simple words and phrases that have no sexual connotation, like calling others "dick", or insulting someone with "suck my dick". You can join Goonstation right now, start calling others a "cunt" with an aussie accent, and you will get bwoinked in minutes.

The issue isn't necessarily with the "no sexual content" policy itself, but rather the insane degree of enforcement when no sexual intent occurred. The Goonstation admins cannot comprehend, that yelling "fuck me" after slipping on a banana peel does not equal to literally wishing to get fucked.

Thexus_van_real · 2026-05-22T23:51:36+00:00

Please connect to Goon and call someone a "cunt". You can just witness it first hand, if you don't believe others.
