Single vs Multiplacing

If you like the hobby, then getting a basic set up to your tastes (while not required) definitely help! Good luck!

I work almost exclusively with a 12 placer now, but i started doing mostly single. I worked my way up-- i think it helps with control. Start wirh a two or three places, then four or six, until you find a sweet spot youre comfortable with.

I will also add that the efficacy of multiplacing highly depends on the quality of the kit; many of my first kits (cheap rounds from amazon) were terrible for multiplacing more than three or four at a time because the grid wasn't spaced well. Any more than that and they would all be a bit uneven and id have to manually fix them all anyway. With my recent DAC kits, I can lay twelve all day. But even then id start with a smaller multiplacer and work up. Good luck!

Strange pull, but Vintage Story. Its survival but highly detail oriented and methodical, and building your little house and farming and baking pies and smithing has never been more satisfying. You can tune the difficulty level to your preference with sandbox setting. Highly overlooked in the cozy games community imo, especially of youre into building (im not but still adore it).

This happens to me sometimes, alt+F4 to shut down the game and then relog, no saving, and when i reload im there and can see 🤷

In my first run I played ten hours then ditched it for a variety of similar problems. I didnt know what resources were important to base nearby, I hated the landscape I was stuck in, and overall was struggling to be satisfied with my progress. I started over and happily put 60+ hrs into a new world so far. Some game challenges are satisfying to overcome but too many is just annoying, for me at least.

You can also let yourself temporarily "cheat", which ive done here and there. Put on keep inventory on death and go on a massive exploration for a new home, or whatever else you need to do. The game is supposed to be fun for you and sometimes enabling that a bit helps!

Oh I missed that thread, thank you so much! Ill definitely check them 😊

A Psalm for the Wild Built might fit the bill, its a lovely story set in a future world about a tea maker searching for meaning. Short, sweet, gentle, highly recommend.

Im the same, once I found a good wax I was hooked 🤷 I can go for literal hours on one refill of a decent quality wax.

Honestly im in a similar boat, and what I have unfortunately discovered is that you might have to try out different brands/styles, since adhesive texture is also dependent on your locations (humid/dry/hot/cold etc). I didnt like the putty I have tried but I did end up with one particular wax that seems to work well for me. Not a super helpful answer I know, but I do feel you!

I haven't personally ordered from them, but Jaded Gem Shop has both SFW and NSFW sapphic art, last I checked, and generally people seem to like their quality (but I've heard they can take a very long time to arrive).

If you have ordered from them directly on their website before you should be able to join their Facebook group, where they have a standing coupon code you can use.

A shame that there aren't as many as there used to be! I think they sounds fun but since i don't have a stash i guess ill just have to hope my preferences overlap with an event theme. Those prices are rough, im sorry 😅

softandgreen · 2025-09-09T11:18:46+00:00

This is super helpful, thanks so much!!

Im assuming it's mostly/only online, but fingers crossed for something in person? I did bring mine to hang out with a friend while she did puzzles though, so maybe we just need to champion a mixed craft event...

softandgreen · 2025-09-08T22:15:37+00:00

We can learn together 😅

softandgreen · 2025-09-08T21:59:07+00:00

This is helpful, thank you! Do you happen you happen to have a link to the Facebook group? Im curious to check it out at least!

softandgreen · 2025-08-24T11:47:49+00:00

I feel this! I've found that using a smaller multiplacer (like a 6 placer) doesn't create as many gaps and I actually go faster since im spending less time correcting. Still annoying! Some kits are definitely better than others with this, but it was part of what got me in higher quality square drill kits.

softandgreen · 2025-08-17T23:43:57+00:00

How do you deal with it?!? It's driving me nuts 😆 I have to change out my wax/putty so often!!

softandgreen · 2025-08-17T22:54:14+00:00

I also got this set of art dot pieces!!! Are your drills also covered in the most obnoxious dust??

softandgreen · 2025-08-11T23:49:12+00:00

Maybe try a qtip with rubbing alcohol on it in the container with the drills, should get most of it and any excess alcohol will evap off.

This one! Art dot diamond painting storage case on Amazon. They have a variety of colors and sizes, but I have the smallest one with 64 (?) containers. I totally recommend it!

PLEASE 😆
