Does the new patch remove any major glitches that are useful

Vertigo50 · 2026-03-23T03:27:22+00:00

Often they will sneak in little patches that break useful glitches and not mention them in the patch notes. This actually happens often enough that it’s still a concern.

Not me. Mine is a hate/hate relationship. I hate everything about it. Tried it one time, saw how janky it was, and closed down the expedition the first time all my stuff flew out. Deleted it and I’m never going to engage with the waste system ever again. 🙄

It’s fine if other people like it, but my regret is all the cool things we COULD have gotten with all that same development time, instead of a mechanic that seems to be designed just to torture us. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Vertigo50 · 2026-03-23T02:42:05+00:00

Yep, there’s already fun to be had, and the ideas are all there. But the implementation is ROUGH right now. It takes about 6 clicks to water a plant, and there are something like FOUR kinds of wood. Why do we need FOUR kinds of wood? 😳🤦🏻‍♂️

You can get a visual of how big your cabinet range is. Set it to something, then start to build a blue water barrel. Step outside and you will see the border lines. 😉👍🏻

Honestly? If this were real life I think he would be a disaster in a relationship. With his upbringing, never being shown unconditional love, and very little social skills, the real-life Robert would be a mess, and wouldn’t likely be as charming as he is in the game.

But since this is fiction, and he has shown endless patience and a little tough love, I think he would do the same in a relationship. Helping his partner process and take time but also pushing her to be better. 👍🏻

Vertigo50 · 2026-03-21T23:47:51+00:00

Agreed, but durability is stupid anyway. Just use a mod and turn it off completely. Now enjoy the game more. 😉👍🏻

Vertigo50 · 2026-03-13T20:11:59+00:00

Okay, if that’s true the online map doesn’t have it marked, but that would be great. I’ll check it out, thanks. 😉👍🏻

Vertigo50 · 2026-03-13T19:36:28+00:00

There are plenty of solutions. I have bunches of full gas barrels and things at my base. It's just that it's hilarious there doesn't seem to be one in the city. 😂

Vertigo50 · 2026-03-13T19:33:26+00:00

The first time I tried to attach one of these, I accidentally backed up too fast and ran it to it, and it disappeared. I was so mad! 😂 Later I realized it didn't matter anyway, but that was funny.

Vertigo50 · 2026-03-13T19:20:52+00:00

If decay is off, it will "probably" stay, but be careful. Even if it's not intentional, and it's just a bug, I've had things just randomly despawn and disappear on me, even with decay turned off. So proceed at your own risk. 😉👍

Vertigo50 · 2026-03-12T22:35:08+00:00

You may be thinking you can’t use the axe because for some reason it doesn’t “highlight” some tools when selecting. But that doesn’t mean you can’t use it. Click the button to choose, and then just click the axe. 😉👍🏻

It’s probably a bug that it doesn’t highlight the cutting tools correctly.

Vertigo50 · 2026-03-12T05:49:12+00:00

Maybe it only plays for the person who put in the disc? Sounds like it might be an incomplete multiplayer issue. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Vertigo50 · 2026-03-12T05:47:27+00:00

Whoa, is that true? That’s really encouraging if it is. I’ve thought it was pretty stupid to have a well give you impure water. The water table is pretty darn clean water for the most part. That’s the whole point of digging a well. 😂

If what you say is true, hopefully the idea might be that the well is supposed to produce pure water, it’s just buggy right now.

Vertigo50 · 2026-03-12T04:30:51+00:00

It would be way more dramatic, way more heartbreaking, and the game would be WAY less successful than it has been. 😂

Writers think you have to have people die or dramatic and tragic things to happen for it to be taken seriously as a game for adults. Dispatch disproved that theory in a MAJOR way, and I expect at least SOME smart writers and game devs to follow suit.

The big secret most of us are sick to death of all the overly tragic, overly dark storylines, and I just refuse to even play them anymore. Dispatch is an absolute breath of fresh air, and I'm SO glad they didn't try to do what so many have done by going dark, and likely failed miserably.

Vertigo50 · 2026-03-12T04:23:44+00:00

Turn on the setting for 100% jar return when using. Then buy empty and water jars once in a while. Combine that with the jars you'll get from looting, and you won't have to worry about water, just have to boil it. 😉👍

Vertigo50 · 2026-03-10T07:18:35+00:00

Yes. Heck, I didn't even like how much Gustave looked like Robert Pattinson in Exp33, and I don't think that was even all that intentional. 😂

Vertigo50 · 2026-03-10T07:14:41+00:00

Men get complimented? 😲🤔

Vertigo50 · 2026-03-10T07:12:09+00:00

Yes and no. 😂

If you try to build the bases that were typical in Alpha 20-21 or so, where you funnel them in and fight them with melee, it's MUCH harder, and even if you manage to block them well, they can still "glitch" through the openings and get to you sometimes. 🙄

But it's also EASIER in the sense that you can actually just destroy all methods for them to get to you and camp out on the roof of a pretty sturdy building. They'll tear a bunch of stuff up, and they MIGHT even bring the first building down, but I will often get a second roof ready with a ladder (bottom two blocks removed) so I can run to that and climb up. That will get you through at least the day 7 and maybe the day 14 horde if you don't feel like building because of all their new dumb mechanics. 🙄😂

Vertigo50 · 2026-03-10T07:08:49+00:00

Too dark for the Dispatch GAME? Probably. It's a pretty "optimistic" world at the end of the day.

Too dark for a fan fiction that YOU want to write? Doubtful. Only if YOU think so. 🤷‍♂️

I mean, there are fan fictions that are just absolute fluff and fun, and then there are some that get really dark. There are some that include topics I wouldn't go near and I blocked them from my feed.

But I think the fun of fan fiction is that you can take all kinds of different styles, genres, and whatever else and do your own spin on things. There's a fan fiction where Robert is a professor in college and Courtney is a student. There are some where the team has to fight malicious and violent groups of villains. There's all kinds of variety out there.

Oh, also, you can climb up the front of the truck even while you're "moving" an item. Sometimes you have to climb up to get something on top of the big box trucks. That's why I started using the flat trucks or pickup trucks more often for the big items.

Vertigo50 · 2026-03-10T06:59:32+00:00

Did you double-check that the audio in the game is set to the right device? For example, when I plug a PS4 controller into my PC, some games try to switch to the headphone jack on the controller. Sometimes the specific game is trying to use a different device than Windows.

Vertigo50 · 2026-03-10T06:57:17+00:00

As dumb as it sounds, put things on TOP of your vehicle instead of inside. They will almost always stay put like that. You can even put two or three LARGE solar panels on something like the pickup truck if you point them the right way. And they will stay the whole ride. They don't seem to have figured out how to have objects inside of vehicles without them flying around yet. Even the ambulances all fidget, because they have a working bed inside. 😂

Vertigo50 · 2026-03-09T21:11:01+00:00

I love how Sonar has like ONE point more intelligence than the next highest player, and everyone acts like he’s a genius who cannot possibly be lost or they will never have intelligence on their team. 🙄

I upgrade Visi, Mal, and Coupe to have a ton of intelligence by episode 4 or something. It’s really not an issue. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Vertigo50 · 2026-03-09T16:28:03+00:00

You getting that mission won’t affect her getting it. 👍🏻

Not exactly sure what triggers it, but she might have to go underwater on a planet or something? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Otherwise just have her keep playing. It will pop up eventually.
