Darkness Falls: They mostly come out at night...

Where would I find that information?

In the NVIDIA control panel in the bottom taskbar.

My point is that even with a good computer if you have less than 4GB VRAM you could have issues with this mod because the game can't load too many graphical resources at once. If that's the case, that could explain why some things don't show.  hwell:

Otherwise try a clean install back from scratch, I don't know.

I actually have icons disappearing now too, 22 hours into this B20 game. Never seen that before.

Doesn't seem to be any pattern to which icons disappear, it looks random, with both some vanilla and some DF ones, and it only happens in storage boxes; if I move something with an invisible icon into my inventory, the icon appears (but only in inventory, still not in the storage).

I don't think I've been doing anything unusual either (I did make a military tablet, which I rarely do, but I played for hours yesterday without icons going missing, so it's probably not that).

8GB 3060ti.

Edit: After reloading and playing for 8 hours in one session it hasn't happened again, so hopefully it was just some weird and rare glitch.

The resolution you play at may also be a factor (more VRAM used).

I have a 3060 with 12GB VRAM but I play at 1440p.

I'm at 1080p, so unless 1.4/DF suddenly uses a lot more VRAM, I don't think that should be a problem.

Haven't managed to recreate the problem so far (though, not really all that much I could try either), so maybe it was just some random thing. Nearly ten hours into this session and it hasn't happened again.

Any idea where one might be most likely to find the Lawntractor Gore Butcher Mod Schematic or just the mod itself in B20? In B19 I think I usually just looted the mod from somewhere (not sure I ever found the schematic), but I didn't really pay attention to where I found it.

I've tried driving around to the traders to see if they might have it, but no luck (I have Better Barter and Charismatic Nature maxed). Guessing Rekt is the most likely candidate, but I don't know.

Edit: Seems like Pass-n-Gas crates are the most likely place to find lawntractor mods. Possibly the only place? I haven't seen any for sale anywhere, at least.

Well, similar issue to my post above, but this time it's the lathe, which is a tad more essential than lawntractor mods. I'm at level 63 now and still haven't found a lathe. Not even Caitlin has one (maxed Charismatic Nature). You'd think it'd be Hugh who sells them, since he's the gun guy now, but I've visited numerous Hughs every trader reset for weeks and he doesn't have them (actually kind of seems like maxing Charismatic Nature didn't make much difference for what he does have).

Maybe it's still Joel who sells lathes? I haven't found any Joels so far.

I don't actually remember seeing lathes for sale in any of the V6 versions, but I hope I'm mistaken (normally I find them in hidden stashes or air drops).

At this point you should just go into cheat mode for a minute and spawn one.  :noidea:

yeh, it just tends to ruin the feel of a game when I do that.

Bit funny, though; in this game I focused on getting Scavenging, Quality Joe and Wateland Treasures maxed as soon as possible, so it affected almost all the air drops and hidden caches I found and still nothing. Usually I find several of them while I have very low loot stage. Maybe lathes are considered low level loot.

I did finally find a Joel (way out in the desert with no roads or paths leading to the compound, so not so odd I hadn't found him before), but he didn't have a lathe either, so I still don't know if he's the trader to go to.

I started a new game where I don't use traders at all (except for scout missions to get to Razor), so I bet getting a welding torch will be the problem this time.
