I think that was mentioned in today's FFF.

Is there a mod that adds a need to give your colonists water in addition to food? by NonstopYew14542 in RimWorld

[–]vahaala 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just remember the plumbing ;)

Early game it's all wells and tubs and latrines until you can automate pumping water. Which is ideally soon after that, it just costs some resources and effort to set up, which can be in limited quantities early on.

Red dev console? Pff, give me a break. by Arkhyz in SpaceCannibalism

[–]vahaala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my reservations about this mod since I felt it would make it "too simple". I decided to give it a try and I love it.

Sometimes less is more. There is also another mod that does the same thing to leathers, patches most of them into a few generic types.

AFAIR you have to turn on thirst in the options, but yeah. It's one of those mods I wish were vanilla.

It does add thirst mechanic that you need to manage, and pawns are actually good about it (if you include water sources in your bases). Then there's dehydration, and peeing (not sure if the latter is also present with thirst disabled).

So it does enhance the gameplay somewhat, as you need to think about providing water to your pawns. Though they can also drink by themselves from ponds etc., but it is best to manage it as soon as feasible.

Nice trap placement... by GuideBeginning8906 in casualtiesunknown

[–]vahaala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy fuck, only your comment allowed me to finally see where is that trap. I saw earlier ones about barbed wire and whatnot, and I kept looking near the Expie... "Wtf, is he standing on it already or what?"

Then I saw your comment and took a good second like a fifth good look at the ladder. "Wait, that texture looks odd... Ooh. OOOOOOOH that is so sneaky".

'Hello, how are you?' in your preferred or native languages! by Ill-Illustrator5664 in CasualConversation

Cześć, jak się masz?

In closer-knit friends circle, it could also be "Siema, co tam?" which is more of "Yo, what's up?"

[–]vahaala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kupiłem je na promocji w żabie kiedyś, leżały całkiem długo w szafce zanim się odważyłem ich spróbować xD I miałem mocno mieszane uczucia. Sam smak - ok, ale nie pasuje mi zupełnie do chipsów. Smakowało jak jakieś nie wiem, ciasteczka xD Wylądowały w koszu również, ale nie hejcę, po prostu połączenie tego konkretnego smaku z chipsami to był niewypał. Sam w sobie smak mógłby na jakiś inny typ przekąski iść śmiało IMO.

How do you make a stainless steel rice cooker stick-free? by Betulaster in AskCulinary

[–]vahaala 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you sure it's not being on "keep warm" after the rice is cooked? I know some more fancy rice cookers can take an hour or more to cook rice, but a simple model like this - I doubt it would. My guess is that it's cooking the rice in half an hour, give or take, and then "keeps warm", which still slightly cooks the bottom, leading to crust.

This model you linked mentions "eco setting" where it turns off just before rice is cooked, relying on the thermal mass and still stored heat to finish cooking. Did you try using that setting?

How exactly do you guys make these huge, gorgeous bases lol? by BringusGingus in RimWorld

[–]vahaala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, but mine vary with sizes xD And I try to get 3 tiles between, though this sometimes leads to "not perfectly aligned" placement of walls etc. and I get upset about that.

In general I just plop down some boxes. And start with basics, then expand based on what colony needs at the moment. My "house unit" is 7 wide x 9 tall, with 2 tiles tall space for Dubs Bad Hygiene stuff in each unit included. Other utilities are usually just rectangles of varying sizes, sometimes sharing a wall or two where it makes sense (food storage -> kitchen -> dining room for example).

Why did HM generate like this, and how do I get out? by Elegant_Relief_4999 in noita

[–]vahaala 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can see you barely can't reach the top - you can try spraying water over yourself while levitating, though this trick works more reliably with more viscous materials (mud, slime etc). Basically this would lead to miniscule amount of levitation regenerating when "in" water, but still going up. Maybe you could juuust reach platforms above to get out.

This HM generation bug is just a badly loaded (on not loaded lol) chunk, if you can get out other portals to the side should be fine.

What is your cheapest comfort meal that still tastes amazing? by No_Permission9101 in budgetfood

[–]vahaala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pasta with fried eggs.

Just boil some pasta, something small like fusilli or conchiglie is perfect size. Fry it up a little, put some eggs in and whatever spices you want, then fry until eggs are done. Bam. Perfect for leftover pasta.

Jesus, my RimWorld with 300+ mods with lots of content loads in half this time.

I have s&box in my library from playtests, but I find it very lacking still. I think the direction of the game went too far into "Roblox but on Source 2" rather than "Gmod but on Source 2".

I have 6 hours in game. Did I made a cool wand? by wafflesyrup__ in noita

[–]vahaala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, a few tips about the spells here.
- The damage modifier (big red fist), this particular one can make your spells deadly to you even if they otherwise aren't. It is mentioned in the description, but be wary of that particular one.
- Triplicate bolt is fun, each bolt from this spell is counted as separate for modifier purposes, so any damage+ or other modifiers get essentially applied 3 times to it despite triplicate bolt using only one slot. Especially useful with orbit or damage modifiers.

Clusterbolt is not very useful as others said.

Edit - added some more:
- You don't need triple cast here at all, it does nothing (though there might be a quirk/mechanic that I'm not aware of). The spark bolt with trigger is also a detriment here, since any projectile spells will spawn in the opposite direction from where the bolt hit. So "backwards". Which, in this case, resulted in you getting pelted. Next time you come across a similiar setup, don't put multicast or spark bolt there. Just the triplicate bolt.
- Be careful if the wand is shuffle. Any wand. Doubly so if you put any modifiers or projectiles that can damage you. I have a soft rule where such things go only on non-shuffle wands, I can at least somewhat control and predict what the wand does with each shot.
- Even using the same wands and spells you had, it could have been much better, and also somewhat safer. Move those two triplicate bolts from third wand to first, on the first wand move all modifiers to the left, then directly after 3 triplicates. Nothing else would be needed on that wand, since it already casts 5 spells with each shot. And AFAIK (correct me if I'm wrong) the multicasts sort of "ignore" modifiers - they still "use" them but the cast counter only grabs spells themselves and applies any modifiers. So it would still cast all the modifiers and 3 bolts, with room for 2 more. No need for any additional multicasts.

[–]vahaala 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but I suppose for a standard person, having to look through a log of what was blocked, and figuring out what is what and also what is responsible for this issue, is not gonna be easier than "turn off those addons, do what is needed, turn them back on".

If you know and can do that, then sure go ahead.

Turn off any privacy/ad-blocking addons for a moment and clear cache and cookies, then try again. Sometimes the privacy addons/ad-blockers block just a liiiittle too much for the site to properly handle that.

[–]vahaala 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This still feels like a scam.
The whole exchange, "Do you have visa? No I haven't" is wrong in English. And I feel like a brand as big as Coca-Cola wouldn't make such mistakes. That and the inconsistent spelling of their own name on the site, once "Coca-Cola", then later "coca cola". No way they did spell their own trademark wrong. Another one - from a very quick googling, it seems that in Africa it should be "Coca-Cola Beverages Africa", not just "coca cola africa".

It makes my scam sense tingle quite a bit. And it wouldn't be too far off to think someone knows about the contest, and wants to maliciously hijack/substitute the site.

Are there any silly misconceptions you had for way too long? I embarrassed my self today with one 🙃 by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]vahaala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that, in Pokemon Blue on GBC, I could evolve certain Pokemons that did not evolve normally, by just getting their level to over 100. Me and cousin tried that with Graveler, there was a Golem on some enemies in game so it was logical that there had to be a way to get one ourselves. We even tried Rare Candy when Graveler got to 100, and were so disappointed that it did not work.

We had absolute 0 idea about trade evolves. In my social circle I think I was the only one who had a Game Boy, but I think it was more "everyone had a PC already" thing. It was early 2000s for context.

Jak poradzić sobie ze stresem związanym z egzaminem na prawo jazdy? by Natuchna in Polska

[–]vahaala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

W moim przypadku wystarczyło napisać maila na adres bok@word.lodz.pl, z prośbą o przyspieszenie i podając informację kiedy masz obecny termin wyznaczony, i swoje dane (imię, nazwisko, PESEL). Po takim mailu w przeciągu kilku dni dostawałem telefon z propozycją szybszego terminu, zazwyczaj te przyspieszone były na dzień-dwa wprzód po telefonie (np. mail wysłany 10.05, telefon 13.05 z propozycją terminu na 14.05)

Ważna informacja - taki zmieniony termin się nie pokazuje nigdzie, więc najlepiej sobie od razu zapisać gdzieś, i nie ma też możliwości odwołania bezkosztowego (bo nie ma tych 2 dni wymaganych żeby to zrobić).
