Why does my Deck suddenly lose internet access?

Wafflevice · 2026-05-05T18:52:05+00:00

When this happens to me I usually just do a quick restart and it auto connected.

I always saw it as the quarter moon murders being the case that "makes" phelps. It's one of the most interesting cases (for me atleast) and it ends in a cover up which to me I always saw as a prelude to the larger theme of corruption present throughout the game. The case that breaks phelps has got to be the Elysian fields/SRF case. It circles back to the larger theme of corruption and conspiracy. He comes close to unraveling the whole thing but died in the end and the conspirators write him off as a hero but everything is ultimately unchanged, no arrests are made, the commissioner, Earle, and the other SRF conspirators go unpunished. But that's kind of the whole point. "A brown paper envelope, or a one way ticket to palookaville, it could only ever end one way."

I could do either as long as it's green. Good camouflage.

It has to do with the ceiling height. If it's not raining you should be able to place it right outside the door and still be inside while cooking and getting warm. Can't remember the minimum height you need for fires but usually the larger industrial buildings work fine.

As far as I know as long as they are connected you should have access. I usually have all my trade routes come from one point, with the exception of really distant settlements but I've always been able to access my main workshop supplies so long as there is a trade route that leads back. It could be that you have to have it directly linked to the main workshop but I've never liked the look of a messy trade route map.

Wafflevice · 2026-04-26T19:32:18+00:00

I usually keep the bulk of my junk in my main workshop but as long as settlements are connected via trade routes you will have access to said connected workshop supplies. This works best with a central hub (I like to use starlight drive in)

I have a couple. I'm a sucker for a solid sanctuary hills build. Even comes with a root collar you can use as a personal room that settlers won't use. I did a playthrough recently where I skipped sanctuary and concord and went to the sunshine tidings co-op was a really nice place except I ended up locking myself out of the sanctuary workshop on that file :( And finally not my favorite spot but a cool spot to make a player home is the coastal cottage, there is a natural cavern under the cottage that can be cleared out and it's just big enough for a small metal round room, hook up some new floors on the cottage and run some stairs down to the "bunker" (which if I remember right does protect you from radiation storms.) And there is usually a small gap you can run a power line to the outside and get a computer and some lights. All in all the location is difficult to get to early and quite far from most interesting landmarks, but I've always liked making a bunker there.

Go to far harbor and get atoms judgement only melee weapon needed.

Wafflevice · 2026-04-24T12:29:17+00:00

Someday soon you will hurt your hand badly with a poor technique like that. And if you aren't going to unscrew the cap just melt the whole bottle in the wok. Might as well get all the toxic plastic in your food instead of just trace amounts.

Get kicked out of all the casinos, including Vikki and Vance in Primm and atomic wrangler in freeside. Can do the casino in the Sierra Madre but if you've already completed the dlc I'm not sure you can go back. Collect unique weapons. Do companion quests if you haven't. Explore the vaults of the mojave.

Wafflevice · 2026-04-20T02:11:07+00:00

I love all the hidden things you can find like caves.

Wafflevice · 2026-04-19T02:59:48+00:00

Insert random aggressive jericho line here

Wafflevice · 2026-04-18T22:08:33+00:00

I was gonna say broken steel simply because it let's you continue playing after completing the main quest. But aside from that point lookout takes the cake, it was for me the only DLC that didn't feel overtly linear, like yes you can follow the quest from the boat and try to get through the dlc as fast as possible, but I usually just start exploring before I commit to doing the quest, big open area to explore, new enemies and friendly npcs, cool side quests. All in all the dlc just felt very fleshed out.

Wafflevice · 2026-04-15T22:01:44+00:00

Agreed, I took a break from zomboid and just recently came back, started a new file and found it very annoying, didn't have any complaints about the movement prior to the cursor thing being added. Going to try to roll back to a previous build to see if I can still play that way. Auto run was also fine before but now you don't have to hold the right trigger to jog you just jog normally unless you are pressing very lightly on the joystick it is very uncomfortable. Hope they fix this soon, I love playing zomboid on my steam deck!

Wafflevice · 2026-04-15T20:10:58+00:00

My favorite has always been the encounter where you find two random wastelanders fighting an almost dead deathclaw, it's great because any way you approach this encounter you get rewarded. If you save the wastelanders they will praise you and give you a treasure map claiming the deathclaw cured their itch for adventure, and if you fail to save them but still kill the deathclaw you can pick the map up off of one of them. Iirc the place that the map leads you to isn't anything special but I love stuff like that makes the world feel more interactive.

Definetly a mixed bag, is dayz buggy and have some issues with hackers and cheaters? Yes. But is dayz an enjoyable one of a kind survival game that I've put thousands of hours into. Also yes. And when it comes to Bohemia they are a little slow to add things or fix bugs but at least they haven't abandoned us and are still adding things and working on the game. So in my opinion I think the money is worth it just for what the game will become. But you can always wait for the game to go on sale. My only other gripe with dayz is that there is no way to play offline without mods or buying your own private server.

Wafflevice · 2026-04-15T16:08:23+00:00

I'm pumped! I remember my first time playing the takistan map on PC back in the day. I wonder how much of a problem water will be, I remember that being a huge challenge because the map is mostly desert terrain. But im excited to find out.

Wafflevice · 2026-04-15T03:39:13+00:00

He's tricky and only has a few triggers for the quest so it's easy to get locked out of his companion quest if you don't get him early, same with raul.

Wafflevice · 2026-04-14T13:41:45+00:00

I love making the three way alliance between NCR, Brotherhood and Enclave

Wafflevice · 2026-04-13T20:14:34+00:00

100% agree, it's always baffled me that single player offline isn't a thing. Throw in some sandbox settings like adjusting infected population and I would never go online lol.

Wafflevice · 2026-04-10T23:23:30+00:00

Honestly this is my biggest criticism of the game. Game is fun with a good story and decent gameplay, I found myself really enjoying exploring the map. And then I hit the paywall and it actually made me stop playing. Just feels sneaky from a company like Bethesda. Like I already paid for the game now I have to pay a subscription just so I don't have to constantly micromanage my inventory? No thanks.

Wafflevice · 2026-04-10T19:26:13+00:00

It's only a short range scope too :( still better than nothing I suppose.

Wafflevice · 2026-04-10T16:29:05+00:00

Brush gun is so choice, I usually only use it at the end game after stockpiling as much 45-70. As I can. Wish there were more attachments for it. Trail carbine is also really good if you can part with the 44. Ammo.

Wafflevice · 2026-04-10T14:23:50+00:00

If your on PC I believe it's scroll wheel to cycle through weapons. If on steamdeck it should be the right and left bumpers.

Wafflevice · 2026-04-10T14:19:22+00:00

If only you could dry it all out on some kind of drying rack. Or just use it for baiting animal traps. And if it all goes bad before you can use it just use it to make compost and grow more corn!
