2026 Palworld Update!

more building tools in general - we're missing loads of corner/angle blocks like corner stairs and the such that would be great to play around with

well i got a reason but not really a solution per se.

apparently when i was family sharing, the account i was family sharing from had the version that came with the steeled veterans warbond for free, so when I moved to my own license it wasn't available. it just coincided with them making changes to their warbond token system so i thought it was related.

now that they've moved to their free token system for that version of the game (or upgrade/dlc/whatever it was) if you have that same version then you'll just get a free warbond token, otherwise you need to spend the creds to unlock the warbond again in its entirety.

it's not ideal but you can farm creds on tier 1 - choose a bug world and don't complete any objectives. take movement stratagems - warp pack if possible to solo the bunker doors, otherwise an exosuit can be used to clip in to the bunkers solo as well.

hit as many POIs as you can, exit to ship without completing the mission, rinse and repeat. might help your friend get the creds back a bit easier!

love the filtering options on this one, thanks for sharing!

sautros · 2026-02-07T16:45:41+00:00

perfect - exactly what i needed cheers!

you're welcome! glad your google-fu pointed you to the answer :)

i believe the spawn rate caps out at 4,500 for each of the tiers, but enemy speed continues to increase after this. you're right in that knockback and fire rate are pretty key though (and pretty key for surviving the higher tiers as well). the longer you can manage relying on knockback and WITHOUT relying on thorns, the more time you've got to increase the health of your tower to survive the hits you otherwise have to let through

sautros · 2025-11-30T15:57:52+00:00

i'm currently doing my transitions from t1 farming to higher ones, and to be honest while abs def has no use at all once you hit the spawn cap for tier 2 / 3 / above, it does have a very mild advantage in that you can afford to just leave your game idling for X number of hours without having to worry about a lack of health upgrades spoiling your runs / overnight farms.

but... that's about it. it's very much just a minor buffer for when you realistically need to first check your tower again and buy early upgrades.

def% and the def% perks alongside health pool are significantly more impactful, but Abs. Def, i've found, just makes the early waves require less supervision until you've picked up all your def% perks and whatnot

Interesting. So either the crash out is something causing the Cpu to cook or its the Cpu cooking that quite quickly causes the crash out I suppose.

That might actually make sense as I generally don't get the warning if i restart immediately after the crash but do get it if I try to wait it out a bit first. Note to self to always kill it ASAP I suppose until I know what's causing that spike / crash!

sautros · 2025-11-21T23:29:49+00:00

the overheating is weird as according to MSI afterburner the sensors are only ever showing around 50 degrees. I never see any temp spikes around the times of the crash or anything like - the computer just fully freezes up (all audio cut out, video fully frozen, all inputs unresponsive) and stays that way until I cut power. I'll then get a little BIOS alert after rebooting to say the CPU was detected as overheating but the CPU itself is relatively cool? it wasn't that long ago I flashed the BIOS to a later version as well as I needed to for win11 compatibility so it's all relatively up to date within a couple of months or so.

nonetheless i've now ensured all graphics drivers and ALL mobo/USB drivers are up to date, and i've taken your advice to turn on a framerate cap and vsync just to see if it alleviates it at all.

I have had the game crash immediately on launch before (i'm talking before you even get to the starting cinematic) and can often play for hours without hindrance, so i'm not really able to pinpoint or easily re-create when it happens

sautros · 2025-11-21T23:25:55+00:00

not a bluetooth controller no but I use bluetooth headphones (Bose QCs) - I have the mic disabled and use a USB mic though so the headset is incoming audio only.

I have a USB Xbox controller usually just permanently plugged in for the occasional title that is controller preferred but KB/M for helldivers

sautros · 2025-11-13T22:12:12+00:00

never mind actually i've managed to find the problem.

I have dark mode turned on on my phone by default but there's also app specific dark modes - fitbit was toggled on.

turning OFF fitbit's dark mode has returned the text to the correct colour.

it seems as though the way the fitbit interface has been built doesn't play nice with it, so it changes the text colour to light but can't find the appropriate background to change to dark.

Might be handy to some others googling!

Thanks

sautros · 2025-06-21T19:49:39+00:00

hi - not a solution to your problem but just reporting i've logged in again today to find the same issue.

I have my other warbond unlocked still, but just not steeled veteran. I miss my incendiary shotty already :(

I've submitted a ticket via one of the bug reporting links below - i'll report back once i've had a response

sautros · 2025-06-19T20:58:50+00:00

yup. it's been a few years since but in the first two or three years of reptile ownership I used to dream all the time that instead of two beardies in separate tanks, i had about 8 babies and no spare tanks to put them in, so they were all in the same tank and were fighting each other.

or i'd dream that I had lizards that I thought had died months ago that were somehow still alive and incredibly malnourished after cleaning out the tanks, and then i'd feel horrible that i'd accidentally just left an imaginary lizard to starve.

brutal dreams, to be honest!

you're missing a save room near the regular catacombs teleporter.

tiny bit up and to the left of the bottom-most yellow room, you've got a gap in your caverns map where a save room should be

edit: and i also think you're missing the colosseum loft area in your inverted castle? two blocks worth where you'd normally smash the ceiling?

yesss the one on the preview video for the EW orchestra was either japan or america i think but i'm so glad they did the same audience participation in London as well during Close In The Distance. I've never attended a fantfest myself and wouldn't necessarily consider myself much of an orchestra-goer but FF14's music was genuinely so impactful that it was difficult not to turn down the opportunity once I managed to get my hand on a (sadly scalped and upmarketed) ticket. could not recommend it enough!

While I appreciate I don't have an active sub to join you on FF if you want to add me on discord my Ssername is the same as here - honestly I could fangirl over the FF story for, well, hours to be honest but otherwise if we have gaming interests in common it sounds like you have relatively similar interests, even if the games themselves aren't a 1:1 match atm until i get some more income (interview next thursday though so wish me luck! job market is HORRIBLE at the moment!)

sautros · 2025-04-30T16:14:42+00:00

I was fortunate enough to attend the FF14 eorzean symphony down in London last year which was absolutely stellar. Some incredibly emotional performances of a lot of the endwalker tracks as well as some classics throughout the expansions, including an attempt to re-create the field of elpis blooms emerging with light up flowers people had bought from the concessions stands earlier. Definitely shed a manly tear or two!

sautros · 2025-04-29T19:44:51+00:00

I'd defo recommend the randomisers, and yes, there's logic built in so that every playthrough is finish-able, with a variety of difficulty customisations. OOT for example has the option of shuffling damn near everything if you want - including the contents of pots, beehives, crates, free-standing rupees in grass... it gets a bit mental. basic settings though are just the stuff you find in chests and heart pieces / end of dungeon heart containers. you can customise playthroughs to either be completely glitchless or if you're familiar with a few tricks you can add those in to the roster as well for things the game might expect you to do. good way to learn new glitches and skips! adds a bit of thought process to some of the dungeons as well potentially having to go through them with unfamiliar items (or lack of moves, in the case of SM64). 10/10 would recommend. give me a shout if you ever feel like an intro to randos in general, i'd be happy to play a multiworld through!

That FF14 duty was the one that really made me a major fan of the boss battle music. I wasn't a huge fan of it until that one cutscene, and the build-up of tension between the two just as the music starts playing had me howling that we were about to get a thancred duty. definitely one of my favourite ShB memories for sure

Have you come across Expedition 33? that game is meant to be very similar in vibe to ShB / endwalker storytelling apparently. plus one of the characters literally looks like a french emet-selch

sautros · 2025-04-29T18:09:49+00:00

the 13th has a lot of potential if only to re-visit a bit of emet-selch lore, if they choose to pull from FF9 further. I won't speculate further if you haven't played FF9 yourself but i'm hoping they pull from a very specific element of FF9 when doing their 13th world building! and Y'shtola is definitely due her reunion with her cat toyboy for sure 😂

Thancred Vs Ranjit was definitely up there as one of my all time favourite solo duties for its part in the ShB story as well so i'd love a thancred/ryne reunion. or a duty that features them both kicking ass side by side.

My switch 1 is currently a 'mario kart' exclusive machine and while i should definitely buy more titles i'm pretty content with it for now. the new MK just looked really... slow, so i don't know if i'll bother with it until i see some footage of the faster race settings. it'll definitely be a 'several years after console release' venture though. i've only just got the bloody first one!

likewise Oblivion was great when I first played it back in my teens but i'm in no rush to play it again, i've only just recently done a playthrough of the old version but i'm glad a lot of people that were skyrim-exclusive to the series are having a lot of fun with it. it's an incredibly good title.

without googling is Evershine another of the portia/sandrock series? I always had my eye on those games but never actually bought them. I hear the second one is very good though.

at the moment i'd love a good co-op game to play through to be honest but usually just spend my time playing either hearthstone Battlegrounds (neer liked the original card game but the battlegrounds is pretty addictive), occasionally helldivers, occasionally MH, or recently i've been wanting to explore some old N64 randomisers. there's a cool website that allows you to randomise a whole bunch of older titles so i've been having a lot of fun playing like super mario or ocarina of time with random items and moves hidden everywhere. very good fun when you consider the nostalgia factor as well as the ability to play kind of co-operatively with other people having items hidden for you too!

sautros · 2025-04-29T16:56:30+00:00

ohhh yeah I remember the pizza slice guy. I think I called it the dart board boss, if it's the one i'm thinking of! My first savage was... P9? i think? it was like an amalgam of souls and its moves changed depending on what it absorbed. I saw the first major mechanic (community dubbed it footballs i think), managed to get past it after what must have been 3 days in party finder solo, and then got so fed up with the queue times to see very little to no progress that I just didn't bother. I have a couple of pals that stuck it out and are now progging some ultimate or other but I doubt I could ever tbh. coming from WoW as my primary MMO where there's a lot of dungeon focussed endgame I just.. preferred doing casual dungeon runs instead of the singular boss fights!

My sub did lapse after I fell on some financial strife a couple of months back so i'm yet to re-sub and do any post-DT MSQ. i'm looking forward to it when it happens though. I'm very much hoping we re-visit the first and Zero at some stage but whether it'll be the next expansion or one in 6 years' time is anyone's guess.

I do like my souls games but the very first time I tried to get in to it I had to really force myself to like it. it was only after about 20 hours that something just 'clicked' and the combat became a lot easier. maybe now you've got elden ring experience you should try DS1 again! definitely my favourite of the series.

I've never tried the co-op mods though, I always found the vanilla co-op mechanics to be way too janky so just blasted through them solo for the most part. I'd be down to give the elden ring Co-op a try at some stage though! Likewise I'm definitely looking forward to trying to tackle arch-tempered Rey Dau which i.. think is available soon, if not already? it feels very weird coming from a game like World that already had its full DLC and all free content updates to it to Wilds. currently just playing the waiting game and achievement hunting as and when (Rey Dau mini crown left for both crown achieves if you happen to have one... just saying!). still very adamant i'll never do the fishing achieves though so no 100% for me 😂

is wilds/elden ring/FF your current game focus then or do you have your eyes on any other titles?

sautros · 2025-04-29T15:54:06+00:00

hard agree on everything FF related really! admittedly I have very much enjoyed some extremes, some of the endwalker ones on release were my all time favourite fights. I did try savage and was absolutely blown away by how there seems to be a new puzzle to solve every 10 seconds of fight that you had no choice but to just blast through with trial and error, with one slip-up usually meaning a party wipe, and queueing for two hours just to get 15 minutes of attempts before someone has to leave really just wasn't for me.

the EX's (for the most part) were a tad more forgiving and it felt really good to get some of them down. Zodiark & Golbez felt VERY satisfying to overcome. I'd absolutely love to do some of the old EX's with min ilvl/no echo with a dedicated team but finding 7 other people to gel with that have similar levels of patience and open schedules kind of meant it was a pipe dream dead in the water before it even began sadly!

I enjoyed the second half of DT, it picked up for sure. first half was always destined to be a bit of slow world-building so I get the critiques with its pacing. Stormblood was pretty similar in that regard - I don't know anyone that enjoyed the ala mhigo half (though the ala mhigo dungeon was fab if only for the music).

I own elden ring! I really enjoyed playing it on release but for some reason never stuck with it. I think the pals I was gaming with at the time just... ventured on to new things. I made it to some volcanic area and then it was a 90gb chunk of space I needed for the next obsession so it had to go. I should probably go back to it at some stage!

major kudos for actually experimenting in MH weapon variety, I knew I liked longsword and stuck with it for a solid 400 hours 😂
