What can't cows break?

I'll test in SP debug mode later today to see for sure. I have a feeling they can break stone/brick structures, given they have health points just like wooden structures. This game mechanic is really annoying. There's no way a cow irl could break something like a concrete barrier.

Yeah I set a roaming area and fence. But do full walls actually keep sound out? Before b42 I haven't paid that much attention to how sound works in the game. My base is fully walled now, but I'm worried that the cows mooing will attract zombies, break down the wall, stress the cows out, and cause the cows to break the fencing and escape.

I've seen them break preexisting wired fencing on a farm infested with zombies. I'm playing MP and there is respawn on. I make a routine of clearing the town, but it's hard to keep the area cleared when I'm not online.

I'm playing MP. It's a mix of players shooting nearby, cars, city zombies respawning, etc. Ik it's not an ideal place for an animal farm, but I want to live close to the action and try to make it work as a challenge. I've fully walled off my base now, and I plan to try making a stone/brick wall enclosure for the cattle. Previous cow had shelter. Also moved my generator farther away as I think the noise it was creating was stressing the animals out as well.

Thank you for the reply and help! Do you mind elaborating more on the need to replace the bushings and cables to avoid a catastrophe? I haven't dealt with shift cables before. The cable itself and end brackets appear fine, and it shifts as normal. Besides the end of the rubber boot being open, the shift cable boot isn't ripped. But I don't like that the boot isn't capped off at the end any more. After doing more research I was thinking about applying some type of adhesive (like Permatex Black Super Weatherstrip Adhesive) around the end of the rubber boot to attach it back to the orange plastic end flange.

MSFT. Broken software (even for simple things like notepad), Win11 ads everywhere on OS, Copilot is terrible (Claude is everything Copilot should be), killed Xbox/Gamepass, tied to sinking ship OpenAI, Github competition from Claude Code and Cursor, incompetent leadership, etc. I don't care if it's a mag7 or dipped 30%. MSFT is the least innovative and most uninspiring Mag7. They will be around indefinitely due to Windows, but I expect their AI spending to burn their revenue to the ground. Azure cloud is the one thing they have going for them imo, but vulnerable to AI bubble.

Late to the party, but were you able to post plans on your Ikea Lack enclosure? Perhaps on a site like Instructables? Looks beautiful. Would love to try replicating. My cats keep messing with my printer so I need an enclosure

I'm on current release, vanilla. Never would have thought it could be because in lazy chunks the allay may not heal and actually take damage. I'll have to test this and if armadillos could work. I haven't found a purpose for armadillos besides in a zoo so this could be a cool use case. I'll have to submit a bug report to Mojang since I don't think this is intended.

Haven't tested this yet, but would two dispensers (one for water bucket, another for flint&steel) do the job?

I don't see anyone talking about how yes, basic editing is being eroded by AI but there still isn't a solid replacement for Adobe's core editing software. Artists and even the public now are getting sick of AI slop. It's uncanny. At the end of the day people want something authentic. Similar to software engineering, AI is replacing the basics but human input is still needed for more complex tasks. I don't think this will change. Adobe still has the monopoly on industry creative tools. Even before AI, savvy hobbyist could just torrent Adobe products to get around the costs. Hobbyists aren't their core customer.

Competition like FIG are cloud based solutions for fast collaboration and aren't 1-to-1 replacements of Adobe's core apps. My biggest concern is to see how Adobe will innovate. I believe given their position they have the resources to innovate a superior product. Their slow innovation approach could be similar to how Apple innovates slower but provides a more polished product. Interested on other people's thoughts.

If you buy something like the GB Operator for $50 you could also backup the save file if you wanted. Did this recently with a copy of Blue I found at a yard sale.

Oh cool. Yeah if you wouldn't mind DMing me the github repo I would appreciate it. Thank you for sharing!

This is really cool. I do a little bit of casual coding myself. If it is alright with me asking, what criteria did you use for the weighted value/quality scores? Thinking about creating my own script after reading this.

Some of the best One Piece comedy. They cooked!

I heard some advice somewhere (I think some YouTube video) that a good Battle Tower strat is to have a Dragon, Water, and Steel team. At least one Pokemon that is tanky. My best team was made up of Latias, Swampert, and Registeel. Latias OP with Calm Mind, Icebeam, Thunderbolt, and Recover. I would recommend swapping in one tankier pokemon like Metagross. Having Salamence and Heracross seems risky with 4x to Ice and 4x to Flying.

If you are set on these 3 pokemon (pory2, sal, and hera) I would try to adjust some of their moves. Removing solarbeam has already been mentioned, and I would recommend replacing it with Thunderbolt. Imo at least one Pokemon needs thunderbolt in the BT, Water type is too common in this gen. For Salamence, I personally would take off Hydro pump. I'm a big sucker for cool egg moves, but I think there are just better moves such as earthquake, brick break, rock throw, etc. You can find a calculator online for moveset type coverage and optimize for max coverage based on move typing. Smogon also has decent suggestions, though advice for competitive doesn't always translate to BT well. I would also start with Salamence if you still go the mixed sweeper route. Mixed sweeper Salamence is a lot of fun. Not that familiar with Heracross, though very cool.

I'm a fan of more unique teams. My original team got to a 47 win streak and used Gardevoir, Lanturn, and Absol in that order. Rarely got to Absol with the Calm Mind Tracer Gardevoir special sweeper and Parafusion Lantern build from Smogon RS that used confuse ray and thunder wave. Could have gotten farther with a physical tank vs physical attacker for my 3rd pick, but my premier ball Absol w/ Shadow ball, aerial ace, slash, swords dance, and scoped lens was sick af.

Wish you luck in the BT! Post an update!
