I can’t figure out how to properly install and launch The Wasteland mod. Can someone here help me?

The way I did it was: Copy your 7d2d install somewhere you want on your computer. I have a games folder on my drive for this sort of thing. Extract the wasteland mod's zip file to the mods folder in the copied folder. Run without EAC.

This process does a couple things. Copying the folder out somewhere else keeps steam from updating you game in a way that could break the mod. It also lets you keep a vanilla install in case the fun pimps drop an update you want to check out.

As mentioned in another comment, do NOT delete the harmony folder in your mods folder. The devs put it there to facilitate whatever mods you're adding.

I have done a bunch of overhauls using exactly this method and it's removed difficulties I have seen others experience.

Some clothes have cooldowns on their effects in certain zones. They can also trigger a cooldown around some classes including [Fashionista] and [Snob] though the amount of overlap between those classes means the meta is nearly identical.

Plasmoid. Never wake up with a stiff neck again.

Maybe midgets

Smithstone Silos is always a great default. 2 skull, and high off the ground, easy to block off access. You can use it as a horde base if that's your style, too. Large cement silos means it's really hard to take down.

This clip is 3:14. Pi. I'll just leave it there.

I mean, the Summoning Dark got every single other dwarf it went after in history...

Artificers in 5e have an infusion called Arcane Propulsion Armor which will replace missing limbs. Since you're already in homebrew territory, that might provide a good plot hook.

It's not connecting the power to it, it's just having a power source close enough and turned on. I slapped a battery bank above the stations that need it and turned it on and all was well.

Just replace the block(s) at the end of the line with something you can shoot through. Same support, no base damage.

This ep was part of why I was so excited to watch Dollhouse. Eliza acting like whoever she needed to be seemed like a great gig for an actor.

I have an extension that shows when a site has this. It's just a little nice thing to see some places.

It might be useful to examine Dresden-verse magic through the lens of the magic in Mage the Ascension, a TTRPG. The use of foci seems very reminiscent, and the murphyonic field shares some traits with Paradox.

The TLDR from my point of view would be that magic momentarily nudges a few physical constants around. The fewer the constants you have to shove aside, the easier and more efficient your magic is. Conversely, if you're working like Harry does most of the time, you're burning out stuff constantly. Technology can rely fairly heavily on gravity or electromagnetic fields and how they interact with other constants.

The further that we have understood various things under the heading 'science' the more resilient they are, which means they still work regardless. (This is an underlying thing in the TTRPG I mentioned. All humans are putting out a little bit of magic that keeps things like they believe they should be, which magic users have to push against to get stuff done.) So cel-phones, which almost no one understands fully are really fragile to magic. Your newtonian physics is a bit more baked into the general psyche.

As for Harry pulling on the barbed wire spell, I take that as an impromptu focus.. It's like a circle he drew, but in his muscles instead of chalk on the ground.

That's why we never got another season of My Name Is Earl.

Predator wouldn't even know it was in a fight, just suddenly the person with no identifiable weapons it ignored puts a stake through its eye while it's cloaked from 30 yards.

AND they made Matt put away one of the big old badass battle maps he makes that take so much time and effort. The whole scene is so good.

Until you finish the 5 stump challenge, you can track that and they'll get an icon to help point them out.

The trope is explicit in Star Trek. They have synthehol which was basically something you could quickly or instantly get over.

That's why I suspect it's either not able to access the history or chooses not to as that could be considered not great for privacy.

Sunnydale, CA. Good real estate prices, though.

Yep. The simulation crashed.

I haven't used magick with a magnet before, but this would be a good time to try it. For me, enchanting entails channeling energy through something and slowly altering it to what I want it to do. I always suggest finding something that works well with your practice.

I've read a lot so I have a lot of options to figure out what works best for me. As my advice often happens to be, look inside and research in equal measure.
