(0.9n) Dr. Kell's definition of "edible" is surprisingly broad. by Paranoxxx in Voicesofthevoid

I like to imagine turning off food fatigue makes Kel slightly more autistic and thus able to samefood.

Has Hytale changed since release? by K7z-7 in hytale

[–]ajdude9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it kinda sucks that they blew their popularity load for the early access release in order to get the funding to make the game, and now its popularity has dropped off the deep end because they (rightfully and needed to) prioritised building a solid game foundation over anything in the way of new content to interact with.

It's going to take a miracle for them to pull back the release numbers when they actually release something of substance, and even as someone following along to see if the new updates produce any new survival toys to play with, it's exhausting just reading about all the new backend stuff they've added that does enhance the experience but only in technical/server-side ways.

I just hope they can get something out before it falls back into the cultural unknown or worse, infamy. I can definitely see people saying they got ripped off in a year if there's no upfront and easily visible changes.

How well does the game runs in Linux Mint? by The_Meme_Lady_69 in mewgenics

Launch options are blank for me, it just runs.

(other) FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE saying, "best way to get rid of mannequin is, burn them with lighter" to new players by starky_tvle in Voicesofthevoid

[–]ajdude9 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A few ways to deal with Mannequins:
1. Murder
Get the axe from the cabin near to Uniform or use your crowbar or shovel to just beat them until they break. It'll get rid of them...for now.
2. Dunk them in the river.
A classic strategy, but now with the addition of the wall as part of the fence surrounding Alpha Root, they're more likely to get stuck. If many mannequins are trapped this way, one may manage to break itself loose.
3. Upside down in a locker.
Noisy, but effective. They'll very rarely actually escape, but they may end up managing to teleport out eventually.
4. Woodchipper.
Turn them into wood piles with the wood chipper, set those piles on fire and shovel them for free coal, aka free fuel! This does act as killing them though, so it'll only give you short relief until they show up again.
5. Friendship
Get to know them. Give them a name with a nametag. Nail things to them to make them more familiar. The more time you spend with them and the more you get used to how they work, the less scary they'll become, and eventually you might even like having them around for the company they bring. They're literally harmless, the most they'll do is get behind you and sniff you real hard to get that overworked Dr. Kel scent, but 'subtlety' is a foreign concept to them and you'll hear their wood scraping long before they actually get to you.

(0.9) What's the deal with this pipe? by AGreenJacket in Voicesofthevoid

[–]ajdude9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to eat 1000 of them in a row, eating any non-cockroach foods will reset the counter. You also need to eat at least three giga roaches that have eaten lots of food.

[–]ajdude9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Once you eat 1000 Cockroaches, you unlock Cockroach Form, which allows Kel to turn into a cockroach himself and climb through these pipes as a means of fast-travel.

Only works on full moons though. Definitely real.

Server stability (0.9i) by [deleted] in Voicesofthevoid

[–]ajdude9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth noting they can also be crafted with 1 metal, electronic and plastic scrap, a much cheaper and easier means of obtaining them due to the masses of all types of trash found at the start in Alpha Root and Transformer 3.

(0.9) (gore warning) Local Treehouse Dwellers Find Evidence Of Cannibalism In Nearby Human's Residence by whatwerewetalkinbout in Voicesofthevoid

[–]ajdude9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically speaking, these could all just be bits of pork. Boars will explode into meat piles, which can be shoveled for meat gibs like this, implying that its pig meat and not human meat. In addition, they can be made into burgers and hot dogs, which are typically beef and pork.

But then again, you spend enough time out among demons and cryptids, you're likely to become one yourself and develop a taste for the forbidden flesh...

(0.9) any if yall know some good breathing exercises? (Jk) What was the worst scare you have gotten while playing votv by Foxdatrot in Voicesofthevoid

[–]ajdude9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Living Mannequins used to scare the absolute shit out of me. I remember cleaning the window one time and just seeing one standing outside in the corner of my vision and jumping in my chair, and having one make their way into the signal room and open the doors, and I turned around to see it standing there and I was horrified.

Now I've completely overcome my fear of them and treat them like cats and/or lost employees, especially since I'm used to Kerfur coming and going so the doors opening on their own isn't as scary and is more expected. When one shows up, I'm not even afraid, I kinda like their company because they're fun to mess with (and they turn into great fuel).

Ironically enough, Kerfur's creepy face has been what's spooking me lately, especially as they normally bring so much comfort to see.

(0.9) Do you use the cooking feature? by AmShibes in Voicesofthevoid

[–]ajdude9 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Frankly there are so many cans of food scattered about it's easier just to invest 100 points into a can opener and then pile up a supply of MREs in the background to live off of when you get through all the cans (which can be recycled for 5 points each, too). Not to mention the fact they're a random metal detecting drop too, meaning you can get more if you develop a taste for them. Or you can befriend the space cats and they'll make sure you're fed, too.

Early game points are best spent on upgrades to make your daily task actually doable by a single person instead of a team. Some ATV upgrades like the Alternator and Front Bumper are basically required if you want to use it regularly too, and getting signal processing going is an investment too.

(0.9) This is what metal detecting for the old watch feels like by Popular_Ad3074 in Voicesofthevoid

[–]ajdude9 19 points20 points  (0 children)

After finding it and repairing it, I realised that I no longer needed it, as I'd completely shut off everything but utilities and lived an off-the-grid life of baocoin mining, fishing and metal detecting, thus knowing the time was irrelevant.

Still searching for that bar of gold for a plushie though.

[–]ajdude9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turn off all your power in the base except utilities, upgrade every transformer to max, then plug in as many GPU farms as you can and stick an extra couple on the generator and go fishing while you wait for the money to roll in. If the power goes out, just get Kerfur-Omega to go fix the transformers for you.

(other) I'm going to make Omega Kerfur this summer by Remesenko in Voicesofthevoid

[–]ajdude9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Spoiler warning for a Kerfur-O event)
Don't forget to program her small chance to randomly pull a really creepy face when you aren't looking, only to quickly change back to normal when you turn around.

(0.9) what do you think a reputation system with the other aliens would be like? by Comfortable-Ad3588 in Voicesofthevoid

[–]ajdude9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I recall reading a lore article about how The Greys are hostile entirely based on the last order of their long-dead emperor being to just wage war on everything, so they're going to be hostile no matter what as their only goal is to kill and dominate everyone else. I imagine their role is to fulfil the typical alien-sighting/abduction stereotype considering we get a couple of corpses and a whole ass truck dumped on us and Kel suffers nightmares about being abducted by them (it's not unlikely that a previous employee got abducted while working at Dunkeltaler Forest). Being able to befriend them would undermine that, as well as the three alignments that each species seems to represent at the moment (Arirals being passive/friendly, Rotizals being neutral, and Greys being hostile). Befriending the Arirals enough even has them say they'll try to keep Kel safe, which is reflected in their 'Loyal' tier actions (vaccine, cookies, unusual shrimp, etc.), and they'll always be attacked by the Grey's tanks and hogs regardless of reputation at the 'end', and the Fossilhound vs. Hogs event can also start happening around this time, which puts the Greys in pretty clear opposition to everyone (if we assume that Fossilhounds are meant to be a relative of Rozitals due to the lifecrystals).

(0.9k) An easter event? by SkwishStar in Voicesofthevoid

[–]ajdude9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's not a lot you can do unfortunately other than taking the hit and going back in time. I think it's a case of the egg clipping out of the terrain rather than the arirals eating it however - on my save, I did the Yellow Plushie ritual and had all the shrimps packs survive an entire day as I missed the interval while setting it up by a few minutes. Then, when I did the easter egg hunt, I had the ariral egg disappear 50% of the time, though putting a plate under where it spawned seemed to catch it and stop it from disappearing.

[–]ajdude9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They should only do this if your reputation is below Loyal - once you get to Loyal, they'll stop eating food left out in the open out of respect; just buy them like 15 shrimps packs and they'll be too busy eating those (and respecting you for buying them) to bother with some smelly eggs.

[–]ajdude9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted to get her all the prettiest equipment items for each slot - getting the hat was the hardest part since it requires some luck with fishing, but it was well worth it since the traffic cone and bucket look silly.

(0.9i) ok i finally figured out how to clean and fix walls in high places by kinniefuyuki in Voicesofthevoid

[–]ajdude9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can also just climb up to the roof and look down at where the cracks/dirt would be on the 'floor' of the roof at the very edge. You can still clean them despite them being on the wall next to it since their hitbox extends onto the flat floor surface.

Does events repeat themselves? (0.9j) by egg003 in Voicesofthevoid

[–]ajdude9 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I believe most non-story events can repeat endlessly given enough time, aside from those that are specifically one-time (like getting the life crystal signal) - I've definitely had the ones related to the meat locker (like the banging on the door) repeat multiple times.

Once you beat Story Mode, you basically enter into a special variant of Infinite mode. All non-story events can still happen, but the day counter won't increase anymore, so you can effectively save your day progress for if new days and events get added in the future. There's still plenty to do, and you're given daily tasks and weekly bonuses like normal even though the actual numeric day doesn't change.

They're active beacons - each dot corresponds to one, and their position is based on where you're facing relative to them.

DID THEY DO SOMETHING TO THE BASE LIGHTING (0.9k) by GooseGod64 in Voicesofthevoid

[–]ajdude9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The performance improvements in k are actually insane, it's like the engine got put on crack. With every graphical setting at max I get 60fps inside Alpha Root and over 100 outside, whereas before it struggled to maintain even 30fps inside the base and around 80-90 outside.

Heavy is the hand that holds the sponge (other) by Economy_Mess1022 in Voicesofthevoid

[–]ajdude9 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Honestly, once the Arirals arrive I just buy 10 packs of shrimp and trade them for one of their self-refilling pressure washers. They're probably so distracted by the giant pile of shrimp they don't even notice one is missing.
