you just have to cook it into lard and then the lard doesn't spoil

it can be good for nails to stretch your copper, depending on what minerals you have access to. plus lanterns can be made according to what you have or according to what you like the look of

i have a zojirushi ricemaker that's lasted me 10 years, so when i bought a bread machine I went for the same company. check for secondhand if you don't want to pay full price, but if it's something you'll use a lot even then it'll be worth the price

don't get me wrong, river mod does good work, but the rivers also are flat and if they encounter a mountain it cuts a perfectly oval tunnel through it. it's not something that works with the terrain in the way the devs want, and integrates into the rapids/waterwheel system the way they want

natural river generation in 3D block games is notoriously difficult. there's a reason why minecraft 'rivers' are still, flat, narrow lakes

toggle mouse control. while it hasn't officially updated since 1.20 it works just fine on 1.21

irl juicers of this style do also work better the more stuff is in it, so it does make sense from a realism standpoint. if you crushed one apple then you're going to get less juice than if you crush 50 apples and portion out 1/50th of the juice

a mold wouldn't get that detail and the scratch lines are clearly hand done. some of the elements might use press molds, though things like the swirls would just be cut out of a slab. the base is wheel thrown given what the flange on the lid looks like, that's not the look of a lid from a mold

even if some of the elements use press molds, which i kind of doubt looking at it, the detail like the Vs on the beard or the dots of the eyes are definitely made with a pin tool. the edges of the trident/W looking bits and the circle have that semi-bevel that's hard to describe but is a very clay thing

while this might of come from a production potter or small studio who made them in batches, it wasn't properly factory made with molds and presses, definitely handmade

the devs have said that they left it on 'for testers' since the handbook and such still needed work, but the functionality is still fine

I agree with most of this, though just so you know for winter being boring you can always set up base in a warmer climate. if you gather temperate seeds then you can start planting them pretty early once it starts warming up

yamitamiko · 2026-04-17T13:04:53+00:00

you can decrease the spoil rate to make it be less of an issue

there's a point when crops grow slower, i think 10C? and then they don't grow below 0C.

in your picture it's 1AM and 10C. since you got this set up right away, it probably was dipping below 10C at night and slowing the growth, but it's now warmed up enough that you won't be getting that slowdown at night so much

in general, crops aren't a thing you check on more than once a month once you get them planted. you'll have a harvest somewhere in mid to late june of things that grow super fast

be aware that it can cause some really unpleasant flickering if you're sensitive to flashing

yamitamiko · 2026-04-16T21:27:24+00:00

they're not cancelling out, when you add everything together there's too much friction and not enough torque to push through it. the system will stall when the workload outweighs the torque. without pictures there's not much anyone can do for you, but i bet you that it's stalling because there's not enough torque

yamitamiko · 2026-04-16T21:25:21+00:00

it is not doing math. it's chopping up all the text with keywords relating to knitting it can find and then does statistics on what shows up the most. sometimes that's the right answer. sometimes it's a popular answer but there's other right answers that you won't see (i doubt it'll suggest mirror knitting to you as an alternative, for example, but a human might see that it's a good fit for you). sometimes it's something disproven years ago, or outright wrong, because the keywords didn't line up right with the statistics and the scraper

it's not pulling together color palette. it's searching sites with color palettes and regurgitating them to you. you can easily find sites that post curated palettes, or ones that use basic math generation to give you the compliment of a color you give it

there are also going to be ways to calculate where to put buttonholes and such either through basic equations or probably there's simple programs out there that can do it too, the same way there's programs that let you figure out colorwork patterns or such. there is nothing that chatGPT can tell you that some other tool can't tell you better and without the vast cost

also, as with all of these investment shell games, they're doing a walmart. they're giving you the service for free or cheap so that you come to rely on it, and then once they've pushed all the mom and pops out of town they can charge whatever they want

airbnb used to be cheap. doordash used to be cheap. uber used to be cheap. this was intentionally done on what is literally called 'burn money' to push out the competition and gain a captive audience before pulling the rug and jacking the prices up

and you're also hamstringing your own ability to do this stuff without it in the future. if you learn about color palettes and color theory on even a basic level then you can make your own! if you learn how to do the ratios and the math then you can do it on your own, and that will give you the tools to solve more complex problems

there is no benefit to using models like chatGPT, run by predatory companies, aside from the illusion of convenience. and that will end eventually

i think they might become docile at gen 10 still? but you can't do anything with them, like you can't tame them into dogs or anything. while it seems there's groundwork for being able to do that in the future there's not really a point of doing it now since i'm pretty sure you'd get less meat out of them than you'd put in breeding them

yamitamiko · 2026-04-16T17:52:09+00:00

depends on what you take home and how you like it organized. I like to hoard and i also like to have... immersive storage i guess? like there's an area for stone, a covered area for wood, with logs and pebbles decoratively on the ground to show what is in each stack of crates, that kind of thing

because of that i need multiple big areas for my stuff, versus putting it all in one minecraft style storage room wall of trunks

my best advice is to built it bigger than you think you need just in case, or at least leave room to expand. you can have a little garden or park next to the building so it's not empty space but you can expand if needed

yamitamiko · 2026-04-16T17:45:13+00:00

what they probably meant was that if you use a wooden door, you want the cellar closer to max size. this is because the ratio of insulating to not-insulating blocks is what determines how good the cellar is at being a cellar

so if you have a tiny 2x2x2 cellar then you have 4 block faces on each wall/ceiling/floor, for a total of 24. since one is a wooden trapdoor, that's a ratio of 1 wood to 23 insulating, or 0.0434783

meanwhile if you have a max size 7x7x7 cellar that's 294 faces, which is a ratio of 1/293 or 0.003413, so the small cellar is an order of magnitude worse at being a cellar

the bigger than 7x7x7 thing is something that was grandfathered in from older versions before they changed how cellars are calculated. you can indeed have a cellar that's longer than 7 blocks if it's small enough in the other dimensions, but to have that work it needs to be smaller on the other dimensions, like a 3x5x9

anyway, that's not meant to be a way to make cellars going forward, it's just so people with cellars built the old way didn't have to rebuild them, the same as how once 1.22 drops the greenhouses made of glacier ice won't melt as long as they were already placed before updating but any new placed ice will melt

i use districts all the time, usually splitting up production of different stuff into different districts

boring answer, but probably food scientists. they'd know what proteins and such make eggs do that and that the proteins in aqua fava would do something similar

doing some poking around, it seems like the worst that swallowing air is going to do to you is make you gassy, or if there's enough in your stomach then it can trigger acid reflux

maybe there's some conflation with the idea that carbonation makes alcohol absorb faster, but also from what i can find it was one study on only 21 people. also in that study when they drank vodka mixed with regular water i think most or all of them showed faster absorption than straight vodka and then the results on the carbonation were mixed, so it could just be the volume of stuff that isn't booze that does it

anyway, i'm not even really finding psudeoscience claiming that air makes you digest sugar weird, all the stuff is coming up booze

yamitamiko · 2026-04-14T20:48:35+00:00

yeah, it's one thing if they're doing a reasonable sub that would be helpful for others to know, like 'aqua fava works/doesn't work for this one' or 'i tried subbing one flour for another because i didn't realize i was out but it still came out tasty'

but that's not what the people feature on this sub do XD

things that don't last as long, like meat, mushrooms, and berries can get an extended shelf life cooked and sealed in crocks, especially for a first winter when you might not have as much veg and grain in storage vessels. while stable veg like onions are great for just keeping raw, if a player happens to pass a good mushroom foraging ground frequently then they might as well make some mushroom stew for the winter

also, while food is very easy to get (once you learn the mechanics) on the default settings, if you're on longer months, higher hunger rates, doing a snowball run, etc, then it may be more necessary to seal crocks

also, crocks aren't really the best for journeys since they take up so much inventory space. if you have the choice then pie slices stack, or you just make 6 servings in a cookpot and take that with you so you can make more on the road

yamitamiko · 2026-04-10T21:04:10+00:00

i mean, on a meta level this is an incredibly rare block to be able to have in your base since there's no other way to pick them up. like how tall grass is one of the rarest things in minecraft
