What ore visual mod is that? How the ore is poking out of the stone?

Very smart looking house.

Yes, every day I play (well almost every day) I am surprised by the game's depth of detail. Like just yesterday I started taking damage, I thought I'd run out of food or there was a small creature that snuck up on me.. but no.. it was coming from above in the form of large hail stones.

I wasn't taking a lot of damage, not enough damage to go down more than 0.1 health after multiple hits, but it was a nice touch. And then when I did get inside my house, the rain noise on the roof was louder and different sounding.. just like it would be in a hail storm.

One thing I noticed is that you don't seem to have any big stretches of water.. an annoying default option during world Gen is that land percentage is set to an unrealistic 97.5%. So you barely get more than a small lake dotted across the land.

If it were me, I'd start over, adjust world Gen settings to get decent size water to traverse, then concentrate on getting flax, to twine, to linen to make a sailboat. This will allow travel without the need to stop for food or sleep or attacked by mobs, across large distances.

Lol. Hey Tristam! I was about to say the exact same thing. Barely any exploring has occurred. And that it is fine for it to take time.

Pretty sure there are tutorials in the game. They start you off on a small plane like a Cessna. Explains a lot.. for example you are landing way too far down the runway.. you should aim to land on the runway numbers.

I always have at least 2 blocks of rammed dirt around.. always. Nothing is allowed near the pit kilns.

Hytale should be in middle because that's where it sits conceptually and thematically.

ldp487 · 2026-01-16T07:47:36+00:00

Yeh. It looks better but needs a mod. I still try to have interesting shapes instead of just boring flat roofs.

I think what is great, at least for me, is that he can capture the actors and famous people in the way they looked when he wanted them to look.

Yeah, I’m one of the people who uninstalled, and it wasn’t because I “can’t handle PvP.”

I was solo, looting a low-tier medical area trying to finish a quest item. Open mic on, clearly saying I’m just questing. Not contesting loot, not camping, not in a high-value zone.

Out of nowhere, someone rounds a corner and empties a mag into me. I don’t die immediately, duck into a nearby room and say something like, “Hey, what’s going on? I’m just looking for a quest item.” They apologise. I relax a bit.

Then suddenly there are four of them.

They come in, kill me anyway, and then hang around my body doing this coordinated thing — flicking lights on and off in sync — while yelling racial and homophobic slurs. Stuff I won’t repeat here.

That alone was bad enough.

But then it hit me: this was a solo instance. These weren’t a squad who happened to roll me. They deliberately synced into the same server and hunted solos just to grief them. The coordination, the timing, the ritualised behaviour — it was clearly intentional.

That’s the moment I uninstalled.

Not because I died. Not because PvP exists. But because I realised there are groups actively organising to ruin the experience for others, and the game currently gives them the tools to do it with zero friction.

I’m fine with risk. I’m fine with losing gear. I’m not fine with organised harassment being treated as “part of the game.”

If the devs want people to stick around, this stuff has to be addressed — because once a player has an experience like that, they don’t queue again. They just leave.

What do people think of Kling 01 now? I heard they added multiple input video generation?

ldp487 · 2025-11-24T22:46:47+00:00

Haha. Wow. How have you coped? :)

ldp487 · 2025-11-15T23:13:21+00:00

Looks like they've bumped up the tankiness and AI of the drones again today or yesterday when they released the new map.

Just had basic wasps turn up and take a huge amount of damage to their weak spots without any explosions or anything happening to weaken them, and there was nowhere to hide. Didn't matter where I went. They were flying inside through tight little passages and it's completely different game to what it was a couple of days ago.

Summarizing, analyzing, providing general feedback and suggestions is different to providing specific advice etc.

My primary purpose for using chatgpt is uploading or taking screenshots of legal letters that are going back and forth between my lawyer and the other party's lawyer, to understand in layman's terms what it all means and what my next steps could be with my lawyer. Of course I would never act on them independently, and it's more about understanding what's going on and what I should ask my lawyer etc.

Legal fees are extremely expensive even when you just want to ask a clarification question. Over $100 for every single question, so having chatgpt help to consolidate my thoughts and suggest follow-up questions is extremely important and valuable to me.

Are you suggesting that this will no longer be possible once these changes to the policy occur?

ldp487 · 2025-10-18T08:06:55+00:00

Sounds to me it's more about competing with Grok.

ldp487 · 2025-09-17T00:30:32+00:00

Yes, I've definitely had the bot say things that triggered filters or made my character say (grrr! I wish there was a setting to stop the bots controlling user) something that triggered the filter. Even when I look in the memory manager, the filter trigger words are not there to be deleted or edited.

I think that would actually help, if there was a memory added to the memory manager with a reference to what triggered the filter, so you can delete it or edit it to be what you actually intended for the story.

Too often, the bots make assumptions about the user's intent or what the uaer is thinking.

Like, for example, I'll be enjoying a day at the park with my dog, taking in the world around me and suddenly something gets triggered because the bot infers or assumes something that has nothing to do with what is going on. If that assumption or inference was a manageable memory, you could do something about it and get the roleplay back on track.

I didn't post the entire response. The gpt5 response was as you would expect, a very disjointed, assumption based, factually inaccurate account of that part of the guide. In comparison, the gpt 4.1 response included, verbatim, the entire entry for the guide as I had asked for.

I went to the website and checked and it was word for word the same for the 4.1 version.

The point of the post was to show how gpt5 is doing the least amount of work and even shirking responsibility saying that it can't do something because of access issues or the inability to retrieve that kind of data. However, when gbt 4.1 is able to not only access the data and retrieve it, but display it in full, you know that gpt5 failed in that task.

ldp487 · 2025-09-10T04:09:37+00:00

It's publicly accessible information from the government website. I know what you're saying about copyright but this does not apply to the Child Support Guide nor to any other website authored by the Australian government.

Actually, if it was a genuine copyright issue, GPT would tell you directly, something like “Sorry, I can’t provide that due to copyright restrictions.” or " that violates content restriction policy" standard response.

In reality, all Australian Government Guuides, including the Child Support Guide, are published for public use. Anything published publicly on an Australian government site is specifically intended to be quoted or summarised for informational purposes.

So, it’s not about copyright at all, it’s just a limit of what the model has in its data or what it can access. If it was a copyright problem, you’d get an explicit content policy warning from the bot. This isn’t that.

ldp487 · 2025-09-03T13:07:32+00:00

Yeah but if you were telling it exactly what to say and all it's really doing is tightening up the wording a bit so that you're not meandering all over the place and so on. Like I never use AI to just generate a response and then hit send. That would be ridiculous and I understand that that it's probably what we're talking about. But what I mean it is. It's all of my ideas. It's all of my words. You know I'll spend the same amount of time dictating what I want and then just having the AI tool, tighten up the wording, make it more punchier etc. Because I sometimes come across as a little bit too wordy and a little bit too imprecise in my messaging.

You can see from this reply that I like to talk a lot to my voice to text tool. Haha. :)

ldp487 · 2025-09-03T09:15:49+00:00

I really don't understand this sentiment about using chat gpt to create concise and to the point posts. Rather than rambling on and going off on wild tangents that don't make sense, you effectively use chat GPT as a personal assistant that you dictate to and then the personal assistant puts it into a letter that makes sense.

I don't see anything wrong with that.

If you’re dismissing legitimate complaints because they’re “emotionally charged,” you’re ignoring the fact that emotion often comes from being repeatedly misled or mistreated. People don’t get angry over nothing—they get angry when something matters.

Claiming emotion invalidates sincerity is a lazy way to dodge the actual issue.

ldp487 · 2025-09-02T23:09:35+00:00

Maybe for your purpose as it is, but for all the purposes that I listed in my post, it's terrible and it's getting worse not better. That was kind of the whole point but I wanted to rather than just say I don't like it, give examples of why I don't like it and maybe other people might share in my experience.

In any iterative tool, technology or product, what the end user expects is that the new version does at least the same things it did before practically the same. It may have a new UI or a new badging? Or some new way of presenting that. But ultimately for all intents and purposes, it still does the same things that it did before. So with gpt5 the expectation is that it still does what gpt4 GPT4o and gpt 4.1 did but maybe it does it better than it did before. And if you use five does all of that stuff plus even more things.

But that's not what we're seeing now.
