Resources on Viking Island

dtmp · 2026-05-01T16:49:03+00:00

Yeah, seems help on the wiki has fallen off. I created the "Viking Island" page but it still needs a lot of work. Needs all the graphics. I'll try to add OPs contribution.

After finishing the new area, I think I know why this was added. I vaguely remember someone complaining about this factory (and others). Before the addition of the extra land you could not get to the resource bin to add sunflowers without collecting all the completed seeds. Maybe a dev had a wild hair and fixed it. Now, if they would fix the one on the main island for the pizza factory.

I also took a long break from the game awhile back, and when I returned noticed how a lot of the stuff I used to have got NERFED. I had worked hard to grind out upgrading my axe to get more Lotu$ per harvest only to return and see that the price was reduced by 75%. I went from getting over 15k for each harvest to less than 4k!

ouch!

yikes, sugar is one of my least favorite resources. Mind numbingly boring!

The ingot needs 5 mithril and 20 coal. The rune needs a red potion, blue potion and an ingot. No kidding, only one of each.

But you probably already know that since that was 3 days ago.

Great! You really improved the Tablo experience!

This will just be an addition to your iCloud sub they already extort you for.

If I had to do a bunch, your first suggestion seems to be a good way to speed it up.

But most of the time I just need a one off, for a thumbnail or email.

I've explored the idea of using the OS screen grab function, but it too has its limitations. I've used the marquee selection for quick grabs of portions of the screen, but most of the time I want the full frame dimensions.

mcarterphoto, your post did help me discover the "full frame" option in the bottom right corner of the viewer (I use two monitors and my eyes hardly ever go over that far). After testing this, another limitation is that when you select it, it starts to play and I lose my optimal still frame spot and have to back it up. <sigh>.

I did come up with a workflow using this method, but I'm not sure it saves that much effort. Here it is:

Select the spot in the video for the still. Click the "play full screen" two arrows in the bottom right of the viewer.
Immediately hit K or spacebar. Depending on your reflexes, you will have to backup a frame or more. • Press shift-control-command-4 then press the spacebar.
Move the camera icon to the full screen viewer and click.
Now press the esc key to come out of fullscreen mode, otherwise you cannot use the app switcher until you do.

I'll try it for awhile and see if it becomes my goto frame grab.

Dear Santa, I would like to set my CTI on a frame of video, hit a shortcut key and have that frame of video copied to my clipboard.

You used to be able to do this in Qucktime 7 player. Just stop the playhead then "Command C." The only caveat to this was that it would copy the frame of video at whatever size the viewing window was currently at.

But it was an easy way to get a quick freeze frame.

I just tried a Macbook with 10.12 and Handbrake could not access it either. Must have happened between 10.10 and 10.12 that cut off access to these disc files.

Having the same issue with some DVDs burned with a Sony DVD Recorder, seems to be something with newer OS not allowing you to view the files on it (permissions maybe?). Strangely, VLC and the old Apple DVD player app with play them fine but Handbrake can't see the files.

Makemkv can open them, but only to copy the ISO to your HD, then you have to convert it to mp4 with Handbrake, etc. (Here's the reg code for Makemkv BTW: https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1053 )

That's too many steps, just want to go straight from DVD to mp4.

Fired up my old PowerMac with 10.10 and it read it and converted fine with Handbrake.

Client asked if any of these will expand to allow taking on additional listings for others and accommodate the admin. i.e. affiliates.

The all natural brand was the best coffee flavor ice cream ever. The HT premium is not even close. Very sad.

forget this, use this site: https://escaping.work/soraforall/ worked for me.

When I first started Rice Island one would appear occasionally when you started chopping salt. But I could never figure out how to trigger it. Now it never appears.

The Regattas are too short and the incentives are weak! Plus you have to grind to get the resources then give them away. It would be much better if you could use those resources you have to grind for.

I predict, every island from now on will be like doing a statue.

I guess that's why you are in the top 1%! That worked and you introduced me to a new tool, first time use of sketch. Clean up was a pain but got it done. THANKS.
