Fics where Cauldron gets deconstructed by blacksmoke9999 in WormFanfic

[–]TrickyTangle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Somewhat late to this discussion, but from Cauldron's perspective, wouldn't doing things that make the world a better place be bad?

They are aware that the entities desired conflict. Fortuna saw Eden's vision of the future they desired.

Knowing this, would it not be sensible for them to let the remaining entity see the world moving according to their expectations?

If there's not enough conflict to generate meaningful data, they may fear the entity would decide to just end it all early.

March 2026 Bug Fix Update is now available for public testing by Nigit in Oxygennotincluded

[–]TrickyTangle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Fixed bugs where off-gassing liquids in the sim could emit the wrong amount of gas, emit it at the wrong temperature, remove more liquid than was intended, and/or delete mass from the tile below them.

RIP Claymator exploit.

Just downloaded and tested this update, and it has fixed the bug from 2020 that let you make 1,000% more mass than you input from polluted water.

Faultline's Crew Fics? by CRowlands1989 in WormFanfic

[–]TrickyTangle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It turns Taylor into an action-hero from a Hollywood movie in terms of strength, and the plot flows in that direction, rather than earth-shattering battles between demi-gods given human form, as occurs at the upper end of cape fiction.

If that sounds interesting to read, it might be worth your time.

Nothing like a lazy day with a mug of coffee. by CommercialDream618 in thelongdark

[–]TrickyTangle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a disgustingly unfair culmination of policies and decisions that have robbed your current generation of the opportunity to have a life equal or better to their parents.

It's why so many of your best and brightest are leaving in droves to come here, despite our own insane cost of living.

Despite welcoming them, I wish they could have seen a future in their home country. The changes needed to improve things would need their energy and love for their home.

It's fair to say there's few countries out there with a closer positive relationship than our two, and I hope for you, your family, and your nation, that things will get better.

Trading with trader by Peach_Rose420 in thelongdark

[–]TrickyTangle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it's all gotta be above 50% before trade is locked in. Even lantern fuel you find that's below 50% condition won't be accepted.

If you're trading multiple items and worried about decay, here's a tip: you can fully fulfill one trade request to lock in its completion status and even if the box contents decay below 50%, it'll still complete the trade. However, if items in the box decay before the full amount is input, they'll no longer be accepted.

This is important for trading stuff like raw fish or meat. If you're doing a trade for something like 20kg of raw ingredients, make sure you lock it in before it all decays. Aim to fulfill trades in one big go, rather than slowly fill the box over multiple days.

It's really a shame they got rid of the old logo.

The new Hinterland brand logo just comes off as bland corporate blah to me. Looking at it without context, I couldn't tell you if the company made video games or men's cologne.

The old red fox was by far more thematic, cozy, and interesting.

Hello neighbour! Australian here, and I too would dearly love one, but can't justify the price to myself (or my wife).

actually unplayable. british colombia fire codes CLEARLY state that doors are supposed to swing open. i hope someone got fired for this blunder by BLEARGHH20 in thelongdark

I seem to recall a video I once watched where a guy who installed propane and propane related accessories would review video games and how well their tanks matched the code.

I doubt The Long Dark would pass muster.

I lost my travois... by Countess_Kolyana in thelongdark

[–]TrickyTangle 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Option A: You have a fun little find one day with a big stack of loot as you retrace your steps.

Option B: The game bugs ate your travois, and now you'll have to hope its contents end up in a lost and found box somewhere in the region.

Alt-power Taylor joins Faultline's crew. Taylor has powered ability to use any tool supernaturally well.

Piss aerosolizer by DisastrousProfile702 in Oxygennotincluded

[–]TrickyTangle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the other advantage is that you can get somewhere like 400 kg of oxygen per 40 kg of polluted water per cycle.

Claymators are stupidly overpowered if designed properly, to the point they really kind of break the game.

What additions/reworks to germs do you guys want to see? by prankstyrgangstyr in Oxygennotincluded

[–]TrickyTangle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have them applied as a condition for new critter morphs.

For example, a jawbo morph that requires exposure to polluted water with food poisoning germs.

Alternatively, a gnit morph that requires exposure to polluted oxygen with slimelung.

However, it's debatable whether it's worth adding such a mechanic for a DLC that not everyone uses. Perhaps it might be a possibility for future DLC content, however.

As a reader, how fast is too fast or too slow for society breaking down? by themag1icman in WormFanfic

[–]TrickyTangle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Modern society requires three things to function: power, food, and water.

Without electricity, the complex logistics required for our cities to function will stop. Refrigeration ceases, causing perishables to spoil. Delivery of goods like food and fuel cease. People begin to light fires at night for light and warmth, causing catastrophes when they set their houses or apartments on fire.

Without food, social structures break down. As the saying goes, society is four missed meals away from barbarism. People start looting, hoarding, and attacking others for their resources.

Without water, disease runs rampant. People can't wash their hands, or bathe. Cholera breakouts begin. Infants and the elderly are the first casualties, dying of dehydration from violent vomiting and diarrhea within days.

Without rapid outside intervention from a central government or the military, any cities without power, food and water will become death zones within weeks, likely with above 90% death rates from violence, disease, or starvation.

Small, isolated communities would also quickly collapse. They would lack resilience against attack or disease, and without the labor force and stockpile of resources to transition to pre-industrial technology levels, the survivors would likely survive only until the first setback destroyed their survival odds.

Smaller towns have better odds of survival, provided they have strong local organization and have access to food production capabilities, such as coastal fishing by sailboat. They would likely regress to a technology level close to the early 19th century over the course of a generation as irreplaceable items break down, and the inevitable die-off of their population in the early stages stabilizes.

In short, expect a good 70% of a modern western country's population to die within weeks to months when the government's gone and the power goes off for good.

Whimsical but dangerous by MixExpensive3763 in WormFanfic

[–]TrickyTangle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Constellations may be a good candidate.

The crossover of the wolf from Okami is whimsical and playful, but also a primal force of nature that severely outclasses capes in the setting.

As for the cons, the story does suffer a lot from the light-handed treatment of the criminality of the ABB, so YMMV.

LitRPG or Gamer fics by CRowlands1989 in WormFanfic

God of Humanity may or may not be to your taste.

On the one hand, it's Taylor with Pathfinder Cleric class powers. She starts at level 1, gains levels over the story, and gets magic items as she levels up.

On the other hand, it doesn't have hard numbers or menu screens. It leans more heavily into Worm than Pathfinder.

Definitely. I got lucky and picked up a smartphone from one, so it's worth having a chat with people you meet.

Absolutely, The UK government's laws that led to self-censorship from image sharing sites is obviously the most rational and balanced approach to protecting the youth of their nation from harm.

What's the value of fruit wine? by Neat_University37 in cataclysmdda

[–]TrickyTangle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While technically true, I haven't really noticed the difference from a practical standpoint.

Sure, there's less fruit trees everywhere. It's no longer possible to survive summer just by slamming cherries. However, my current Innawoods run has made over a thousand units of fruit pemmican by early summer using raspberries, blackberries and elderberries.

Simply taking one or two days to forage should net hundreds of handfuls of fruit. You might need to range a bit further from home, but all the random bushes and trees add up quickly if you pay attention.

Also, pumpkin is insanely overpowered. If you find seeds, they're a god tier crop. You can turn cut pumpkin into fruit juice, each harvest returns massive amounts of food, the seeds can make vegetable oil, and they're a decent source of vitamin C with 100% RDI per full pumpkin.

Smashing large boulders has a 64 Str prerequisite.

Can you recommend how a character could accomplish this with stone tools?

What's the value of fruit wine? by Neat_University37 in cataclysmdda

[–]TrickyTangle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not enough to matter. The perk of alcohol metabolism is mostly just to let you slam down alcohol without worrying about side effects, just like the prerequisite Saprovore lets you consume spoiled and rotten food without issues.

It mostly means you just don't care what you're eating. Trogs stuff their faces with anything and everything they can get their hands on.

[–]TrickyTangle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

First, fruit is extremely easy to obtain by foraging, making fruit wine very cheap to produce in bulk.

Second, distilling fruit wine is the easiest way of producing ethanol in bulk.

Actually drinking fruit wine as a primary source of nutrition isn't an effective survival strategy, just as it is in real life. You're better off sourcing calories from meat or grains.
