That's your opinion and you're entitled to it. Personally I don't enjoy games that can be played with ones brain turned off. There was no need to have the micromanagement removed for the sake of casuals nursing a sense of inferiority for "just not getting it." Beware the sword that cuts both...

Yes, exactly.

That case happened way back in the early 90's. I can't remember if those styrofoam cups came with little cardboard "koozies" around them or not back then. Regardless, in the time it takes to fill a cup and then pass it through the drive-thru window into the customer's hand, styrofoam will only...

You've also said, and I'm directly quoting you here, "I just like jars better." So once again, you're shifting the goalpost. If all you desire is to be able to draw water realistically from water sources, then you shouldn't care one iota about jars. The fact that you "just like jars better"...

That's a weird question. But the answer is no -- they make sure that their coffee machines are regulated properly so that they don't brew coffee hot enough to melt someone's face off. Presumably because they don't want to lose future lawsuits. By the way, styrofoam cups are excellent...

You can make a tile any size you want, but the townplanner is hardcoded to treat them as 150x150. So if you make them any other size, the game won't know how to use them properly.

Your comment didn't get taken out of context. The context here is that your original stance of adding jars back is simply... absurd. Because the notion of anyone collecting hundreds of jars full of water instead of using more appropriate containers... is absurd. The notion that the most...

It wasn't just hot. It was dangerously hot. Hot enough to cause 2nd and 3rd degree burns. It wasn't safe to drink, either. Companies are required to make sure their products are actually safe to consume. McDonald's lost the lawsuit because their product wasn't just hot -- it was hot enough to...

Yep, the only way to override a vanilla POI (other than editing the original game files, which is a big no-no) is to copy/paste all its files into your localPrefabs folder. You can then edit it however you want and it will override the vanilla version. That type of override *might* also work...

Yeah, the case received a lot of mockery with its media coverage, but when you read the details of the case it's pretty horrific. It wasn't just her legs that received 2nd and 3rd degree burns. 😧

Haha, yeah, I've thought about it. Just to see what would happen. But I've been neck deep in my procgen stamp project and it's been taking up all of my free time. I think the major limitation with using (abusing?) parts in this way is that, in cities, you never really know what tiles are going...

Which had nothing to do with my original comment. You were just shifting the goalpost around for the sake of your own argument, because I never suggested that we should get "jars" directly from lakes. When you collect water with a bucket, the bucket fills with the equivalent of 3 units of murky...

Don't care, to be honest. Zombies may not be real, but gravity is. I know how gravity affects things and what happens when soft squishy things hit the ground traveling at terminal velocity. I'd rather game balance suffer than have my suspension of disbelief and immersion broken. But then I'm...

I agree mostly but not entirely. One of the things about this game that screams "it's the apocalypse and everything is terrible" is surviving off of toiler water. So I'm fine with murky water being removed from nearly every other loot table, but they gotta keep toilet water. It's just too gross...

15 is still a greater number than 3. How are buckets somehow "easier" than jars? Even with your proposed stack size of 15 jars, that's still 5 times more water than you can carry in a bucket!
