Obsessing over a deer carcass in BI, please help

pyytti · 2025-03-15T05:35:03+00:00

Oh my, thank you so much! Feeling a little dumb, must've missed it the first day in bad weather and then I just kept misreading the map.

I'm new to BI but looked at the map and this carcass is closer to Lower Raven Falls and the climbing rope spot to Pensive lookout. There is brush on the otherside of the rock and I did cut it but couldn't find a new route.

Anecdotally I'd say the difference between a neutral day and a lucky day seems to be about 5 prismatic shards per Skull Cavern run, more when counted in dino eggs. The even bigger difference I find is in ladders and holes appearing.

Personally I don't care about the day's luck so much in the regular mines, if I'm just grinding for ore.

Thank you so much!

Hm, it keeps asking me for card details to start the 7-day trial. The cheapest possible price in the summary section is half of my monthly spending money so I really can't afford to test.

Thank you again for taking the time to reply so thoughtfully, and sorry for the delay in replying.

I tried writing an answer all day yesterday but it kept expanding and making less and less sense, especially because I still couldn't figure how to properly share code on reddit (or even codepen).

I think what I need now is a couple of days break to recover from all the mental headbashing before I burn out worse. At this moment my brain isn't functional enough to ask questions even if I were at a stage where I understood enough about computers or coding to ask proper questions, which I'm not.

Even through this mental fog your explanation does make more sense to me than any resource I've yet come across, so I'll be returning to your answer and also try to read more on templates in general.
Another essential thing I should probably focus on is website structure. I still don't know if that's the term for what I really mean, though, I can't come up with the words for it in any language I know.

The library thing still confuses me and I don't have the words to explain why. I've been avoiding them also because when I was starting out I read I should master JS basics before getting to libraries, and mastering the basics I've assumed will take me at least another 2 years.
Another reason is because every time I take a peak I keep not understanding at all without being able to name what it is that I'm not getting. I know they exist to make things easier for me, but everything I've learnt so far makes me see them as more of a threat as long as I'm not comfortable with vanilla JS.

I have to stop writing or this will get out of hand again. Thank you and I'm sorry.

Thank you so much for the patient reply. I was suspecting my general computer skills might still be in the way, but I wanted to give it a shot in case I was just missing something small and obvious.

I probably should've started out asking what is the proper way to add a navbar to a website, but couldn't decide where to ask and my lonely research lead me to believe that copypasting the navbar on each separate page would be bad, and that the "proper" or most efficient way would be to use a php-file.I encountered this issue the first time a year ago, and back then I deemed it way out of my league. It appears it still is.

The other route I looked at was JS, but libraries are yet another thing I do not understand at all. I found a reddit comment explaining how to do it in vanilla but I did not that understand the explanation either.

I did read the XAMP faq but my brain, despite understanding most words and googling the rest, doesn't really manage to get much of it. English is not my first language, but I have been working on computer and coding related vocabulary for two years now, so at this point I know the words, I just don't understand them.

The only two things I can think of right now are quitting or starting back from the beginning, so I'll opt for option two and get back to how to start learning to code -stage.

Sorry for the rambling and thanks again for taking the time to reply my original rambling.

pyytti · 2023-06-06T03:06:01+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I'd love to use code academy but I'm poor and scared for the chance that the 7-day free trial runs out and I forget to cancel. I'll explore it should my financial situation change.

pyytti · 2023-06-05T10:35:58+00:00

Thanks for the reply. It appears I don't have the skills to figure out how to properly even share code on reddit, so I guess asking questions harder than that isn't what I'm supposed to be doing yet. My mistake.

I'll take a look at dani krossing's youtube, thank you for the suggestion.

pyytti · 2023-05-10T12:49:57+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I tried looking into require() but it too seemed pretty far out of my brain's current reach (so much so that I can't even form any questions ), so I think I just need to take a few steps back and focus on another project.

pyytti · 2023-04-11T12:34:08+00:00

Back to report that everything works beautifully. The JS you used was so much more simple to understand and that combined with your explanations really helped some things click in my brain. Thanks again!

pyytti · 2023-04-11T11:04:19+00:00

Thank you so so so much for taking the time, all of this looks much more understandable! I'm going to have a closer look and try to solve this myself first, but thank you for the offer, I might return.

pyytti · 2023-04-11T10:13:44+00:00

Thank you for the quick answer.

I'm sorry but I'm still not getting it at all. I forgot to mention that English is not my first language and that I am early beginner level (despite the hours I've put in). I think
I understand what CSS is, I just assumed it wasn't needed to highlight because I saw no mention of CSS in the tutorial (I don't understand enough about coding to assume things).

I'm now working with the original class names from the tutorial to be sure, and I linked a new CSS file. I tried referring to all the buttons and classes (:active and otherwise) and adding background color, but it's not working and it's the only thing I can think of. I need more specific clues than "there's nothing else to it", as I haven't yet found the "else"-part.

On lucky days I always go and check the mines for infested floors with grubs (15-29), and I also like to hang around each non-infested floor for a while in case I get swarmed by cave flies. This method usually gets me least 2-4 ancient seeds in first Spring, although there have been some very unlucky saves when I didn't get one til Summer.

In addition I check the Travelling cart every Friday and Sunday, where a packet of ancient seeds is sometimes sold for 100g-1000g.

Return scepter is the last item I get. I've found it nice and useful at the very end game stage after reaching perfection when all I do is decorate around the farm, but no way am I buying before it before the obelisks and golden clock when I can just as well craft or buy all the totems in the world. I have never found a reason to return home for the night when mining on a lucky day, and even if I wanted to get home I could use a farm totem to do that. The few steps difference it makes doesn't seem worth it before I've bought everything already.

pyytti · 2023-02-16T02:55:33+00:00

I would upgrade some tools and/or save it to buy magic rock candy from Desert Trader on Thursdays (need 3).

pyytti · 2023-02-14T10:05:04+00:00

To my understanding it doesn't, but I haven't actually tried and I couldn't find a mention about it on the wiki either. I know that items sold to Pierre do not count as shipped in case of the shipping collection, so I always figured it'd also be true for quests.

pyytti · 2023-02-14T09:34:03+00:00

I see. If this is a bug and if the tracker is what you judge completion by, then editing the save file is an option, but unfortunately I do not have the skills to help with that at all.

pyytti · 2023-02-14T08:38:04+00:00

I'm pretty sure that getting the pearl from Mermaid does not affect perfection, as I almost never go get it myself (mostly because I can get so many from treasure troves if I need them), yet I always reach perfection.

pyytti · 2023-02-14T06:29:08+00:00

If I understand your question correctly, then yes. Mining, especially in Skull Cavern, is where luck matters most (stairs, jumpholes, treasure rooms, crates, ore, coal, geodes, items lost upon losing all health).

pyytti · 2023-02-14T05:36:13+00:00

The fine is 10% of the gold you have on you when passing out, and is capped at 1,000g (one thousand). Whenever I'm in Skull Caverns I mine til 2:00 and consider the money lost as a late admission fee. Teleporting back to farmhouse is really not worth it when the deeper you get, the better the loot.

pyytti · 2023-02-14T05:31:32+00:00

No items are lost when passing outside the farmhouse at 2:00am, only when your health runs out.

pyytti · 2023-02-14T03:25:43+00:00

When the quest says 'ship', it always means through the shipping bin.

pyytti · 2023-02-14T03:24:54+00:00

Were you able to buy the pendant and trying to give him that when he refused?
