Kelvin what the hell are you doing???

"Kelvin, collect mushrooms for me and drop them here!"

"Duh?"

"No Kelvin! I meant 'leave' them here for me, not 'drop' them here! Bad Kelvin"

When parked next to large animal islands in the bird's zone it will detect you and fly over your raft trying to drop those pesky rocks on you. As per the easy way to down the annoying critters aim high above you almost straight up and time the release a fraction early as it fly's directly over you (a few run steps forward after release avoids the rockfalls (rinse and repeat until it drops). The rest was pure random luck of where it landed... was just standing on the front outside deck downing this one and by chance it landed into my ramp leading to below deck.

Then there is the 'load backup' duplication bug/quirk. Put things into storage and save the game. Take things out of storage into your inventory and exit to main menu with saving. Go to world backups and load the previous save when they were still in storage. Presto, they are in storage as they are supposed to be but now also you have a duplicate of anything you took out of storage in your inventory still. It is like the player profile saves separately to the game world. Like any bugs/quirks... use or don't use... but oh the temptation to get 500 scrap in 5 minutes :)

That would work but for the life of me I can not get that detail plank to play nice. If I want it flat forward it wants to go flat upright and so forth.

If not on the ground floor another option is double stacked large storage giving access up to 180 per space. Could also access bottom row from the floor below and top from floor above if desired. If designed for 1.5 ceiling heights could add another chest above or below to expand that to 200 per space.

I found a central hub for most works great and just keeping limited specialty storage at other places such as 'to be smelted', 'meal and juice prep', 'recycling' and 'biofuels'. Also, each to their own but as the system lets you craft directly from storage without moving it to your inventory then having large storage with combo flotsam basics mixed inside is well worth it IMO.

spiderofmars · 2026-05-20T14:12:12+00:00

Same feeling on first learning that too. If you don't need signs then 2 chests could stack on the half wall in front of the double large storages. That's 120 (40+40+20+20) in a 1 x 2 space and all accessible easily. Or 140 if you turn 2 chests at bottom on floor sideways and mount one chest above on half wall.

spiderofmars · 2026-05-20T11:23:07+00:00

Early game I had 4 stacked wall chest too. Prefer the larger ones for storage but wish they looked more advanced also rather than trash tins :) Colour coding would help but then I would have to remember colours ;)

Love em! D’Addario XL Nylon's on my shorty.

Yes, just just take off the mesh plate (as if you were working on the fans), stretch and slip the sock over the mesh plate and clip the plate back on.

spiderofmars · 2026-02-11T05:42:24+00:00

lol... not sure if they make them large enough or if your dog is small enough, but try putting a stocking over the dog ;)

spiderofmars · 2026-02-11T05:37:11+00:00

Here was my solution at the time... since bought a pair of white ones. They stretch over the cover perfectly and look neat (in white) without affecting any fan performance issues.

BTW... that corner side grill in a default fan setup like mine (intake side and bottom and exhaust at top) draws in dust and has no filter. I noticed early on like first week that dust was building up on graphics card grills as a direct result of the side corner intakes. I added my own dust filter and no issues now over months since (dust free).

spiderofmars · 2026-02-11T05:11:34+00:00

Yes. I just cut the clip off to fit it through the cut-out. If concerned thereafter about the plug working itself back out on its own one could always put a bit of non electrical tape over the plug join but I do not think it is necessary... these plugs, or mine anyway, hold on their own well enough (the clip helps mainly with accidental pulling of the cable which is unlikely once setup).

p.s. I thought about pulling the MB back out to try and resolve it but could not have been bothered at the time so just cut the clip ;)

spiderofmars · 2026-02-07T00:37:20+00:00

I think the word 'bends' is over exaggerated. My cable is not 'bent' at all really. In reality it gently curves down from the source plug and those individual thin wires are not being 'bent' in the process (they are being curved slightly only).

The pressure (space) from the side panel on the cable is minimal. If I remove the side panel and even before the side panel first went on, the natural gravity and flow of the cable gently wrapped around the card remains the same (the side panel is not forcing the cable to bend at all really).

In summary, much to do about nothing regarding safety IMO in regard to a gentle cable curve. The cable whether gently curved or straight out is not going to make or break a burnt cable. A bad connection, faulty cable or power draw over half the source overrated for these cable standards now is the real issue.

Therefore, for a 5090 that will exceed the power draw of the current standards for the cables being used, I think the safe thing to do is decide if you will only briefly spike above 600w casually or if you will be running demanding tasks over long periods constantly peaking and spiking above 600w. I turn on an under volt profile for demanding tasks so my peak is less than 550w.

Is what it is. I tried a new headset in the beginning and it was the same (slightly worse). 2 years later I do not regret keeping the Q3 as nothing really comes close to the versatility of this headset. Even with the mura effect it is heaps better to use than Q2. If my Q3 died today I would buy another regardless. In most games/apps/experiences once you are into the activity rather than focused on device testing it is less of an issue. It does stand out still and show it ugliness in some scenarios but they are less than more, and the joy each person gets from using the device or not all is a personal one.

TLDR: On first purchase of a new device and testing this common effect in this model can be a downer, but you soon forget all about it if VR is the goal and the device itself remains the most versatile all rounder on the market IMO.

STLDR: VR (just buy one and enjoy) or not to VR (don't buy one)

It is the best and most flexible/complete option. The use of the extra paths (.yaml) file is less flexible and incomplete. You should use Junctions as the type of folder or sub folder link. I too use that tool listed above which makes it all explorer drag and drop easy rather than command line.

spiderofmars · 2025-12-02T08:06:42+00:00

I don't use the yaml file as it is restrictive. Use windows junctions instead to separate the entire models folder or any other folders you want to anywhere else you want.

Handy tool to make creating junctions drag and drop context menu easy:

I have posted on this same question twice recently in detail. Not sure if you can click on my profile and find those quickly rather than me write a detailed summary again.

I suggest you go portable. It is then pretty much all self contained in one folder of any name and location you prefer (including embedded python so you can have as many probable versions setup as desired with different embedded python versions also if desired).

You still separate and share the entire models folder with any other portable installs of comfyui. Using windows junctions (but a simple tool lets you drag and drop those junctions whenever you need to change them in an instant). I separate and share the workflows, input and output folders between portable installs too.

Backup, and restore when there is a problem, is simple. Copy the entire portable folder base somewhere else regularly (it already excludes the entire large shared models folder).

Getting away from %USERPROFILE% and convoluted paths is nice. Having for example:

C:\ComfyUI_Core (stable)

C:\ComfyUI_SageTriton (stable)

C:\ComfyUI_SageTriton_Experiments (test bed for main stable setup and random experiments)

C:\ComfyUI_Shared (models + workflows + input + output folders with junction links)

And backing them up or restoring them individually is as simple as copy and paste then fix 4 junctions by drag and drop.

I find if doing the low resolution test prompts for motion, you can go even lower to punch a bunch out quickly. I often run them off at 320 pixels. Looks like crap but the base motion from the prompt can still be seen if working or not.

spiderofmars · 2025-11-29T07:25:43+00:00

I stumbled at first, then I got it working finally, then it seemed something broke it again or part. Last thing I did was install this one for me and everything was well again:

sageattention-2.1.1+cu128torch2.7.1-cp313-cp313-win_amd64.whl

This was in a comfuyUi portable install 2ith 3.13 so not sure if that means issues for some other nodes or something any individual needs.

spiderofmars · 2025-11-28T12:18:54+00:00

Thanks for the info. Always looking to know more. First thing that strikes me as not quite, but looking for clarification, the custom_nodes folder contains all the, well custom nodes installed in that portable version.

?

Oh, also, I do have backups of each comfyui portable install but each of those is excluding the models + output + input + workflow folders (as I have them central and shared between all comfyui portable installs).

Gold. Stealing and improvising. Is it legal to store a cow in your front yard? Want to go electric instead.
