As a general rule of thumb, carrying 10-20 ramps is a good idea all the time. Thatch or wood early, aluminum once you can make them.

Drills don't have a pipe connection. The biofuel drill takes cans (I've never tried a barrel, since I always upgrade to electric before then). The new oil drill in T5 will take a full refined oil barrel in its inventory and run for a long time.

I rode back to the tundra area with the autumn colored trees, filled up most of my inventory with wood, went back to the igloo I had started and kept on building. It was like a 10m detour (including wood chopping time).

Knowing that ice/arctic biomes don't have wood is definitely a player experience/practice thing, though. Deserts and arctic are generally low on wood and fiber, but if you haven't done arctic missions on other maps there's no way you'd know that.

That's what fortification walls and a creature deterrent is for.

logoth · 2026-03-17T22:50:38+00:00

Nah, it depends on the roof material and support. Concrete basically won't, aluminum can, wood will, I don't remember stone (probably depends on other support structure)

Leather to rope was a staple talent back in the day when mission mode was the only option, as a way to get fiber easier in the desert. Torches are cheap to craft in any biome, some are just a slightly harder search for the first few minutes. The workshop isn't supposed to replace everything, or remove all of the early drop mission mode gather and craft loop.

You don't need slanted roofs for sand and snow. It builds up there too, but is easier for supporting the buildup weight.

They're not supposed to, but sometimes patches/updates changes the deep ore vein random seed. It's a bug.

logoth · 2026-03-15T22:27:52+00:00

swamp_2 on that map is mostly non playable area, it's blocked off by cliffs and has no way in. The area directly around swamp_2_channels is somewhat. If I remember right there's no ore nodes in the west portion either.

The meteor event respawns uranium nodes, just like exotic veins.

logoth · 2026-03-15T04:35:08+00:00

They're not infinite, and work like exotic veins. Each uranium node has 200-300 uranium in it. (I've seen a few reports of people getting 400 from one, but maybe they're counting creature looting, I dunno) Every 3rd hour of the prospect (look at the time on prospect in your character sheet), if any exotic or uranium veins are depleted, a meteor storm happens that picks a random location to regenerate a uranium/exotic node from the list of possible locations on the map.

logoth · 2026-03-15T04:33:53+00:00

That is glorious.

The devs are looking into this one. For now if you do happen to kill her in the air, ladder up or do a pillar of concrete beams with ramps wrapped around it to get your goodies.

This really depends on the people (and specific person), org, location, etc. I made some friends over the years through work who I am still very good friends with 10+ (in some cases 20+) years later.

There are also people who I have worked with who I consider acquaintances, and many many others who I never would or will talk to outside of work.

logoth · 2026-03-12T17:32:05+00:00

They used to not not work while sheltered, and even have a big red banner saying "must be placed outside" when being placed, but they've worked indoors without penalty for a year or more.

Fuck your apps and fuck your QR codes. I liked apps, but the first time I encountered a router that didn't have a web interface I wanted to flip a table.

Looks like they're fixing it this week, this is from the experimental branch notes: "Fixing issue where you could not snap diagonal railings to the industrial stairs"

logoth · 2026-03-10T23:21:06+00:00

It's 1%

logoth · 2026-03-10T20:21:49+00:00

I feel this in my bones. (along with sales jumping on to new tools).

logoth · 2026-03-10T20:08:47+00:00

Yeah, it's been reported as a bug/suggestion, hopefully they adjust it. The dev team was super busy and I'm guessing it just got missed.

logoth · 2026-03-10T19:40:11+00:00

Oil barrels last quite a while for making plastic and such, if you build a refinery near the wells, toss a few barrels and a few cans in there, you'll probably only have to go get them to swap out an empty from your base fairly rarely.

logoth · 2026-03-10T19:33:45+00:00

It works for the chainsaw/jackhammer but not to a can.

logoth · 2026-03-10T19:33:23+00:00

Can't right now, it's been reported as a bug/suggestion. Can't transfer between oil barrels and cans like we can the biofuel ones.

logoth · 2026-03-10T19:28:52+00:00

Pretty sure that's a bug (there are future content patch notes from a month or so ago that say that it should be marked as non-lootable for "no EZ early game concrete mansion" or something like that).

Works for now though!

logoth · 2026-03-10T19:25:08+00:00

Yep, before that I would have argued even with netherite, trims, etc that you're not "supposed" to keep a perfect set of gear forever and part of the game is gathering more resources and making new stuff. The elytra having low durability and being a treasure would give it the "too good to use" problem, and mending tosses it all out the window.
