Gas pump = 64

I have been to several gas pumps and all of them have exactly 64 units of gas in them. What is up with that?

 
I am very concerned about this silence of the developers, I hope that great things come

I get that a lot sometimes, when I am constantly fighting and getting hit. It seems to go away after a time. I only worry about it when it develops into the virus. But that's rare.

It does not seem to hurt the stats, imo.

I would just ignore it if I were you, but you could take along some honey just in case it turns into the virus.

 
Hmm. Interesting. I'd just quickly read/scanned industrial paper making with wood, and it seemed like the woods own glue, or lignin, was something they generally reduced. But it was a quick bit o research; and the 'how-tos' I saw for make-by-hand seemed mostly to use existing paper. Didn't find one that started w wood chips. (shrug :) )

Never thought of intentionally taking out the cardboard boxes... seems .. wrong? like bricking in a fireplace so Santa can't get in to leave presents :D but I'll have to kill one and see how much paper they're worth, heh.

On a seperate note; just had horde night and my electric fences didn't work. I'd installed for the previous horde and they worked fine then, but now 7 days later, not a single shock was given :(

After horde ended I went over everything, it was all still good, and since I use switches to route power I could even verify that I had green lights all the way through.

So picked up then replaced and re-wired one pair (in A17 I've learned to keep E-fences to just pairs, no long chains) and it worked fine...

Hss anyone else had problems where their E-fencing just stops working in A17.1?

Are you sure you have enough power (watt) to power all connected facilities? If this isn't the case, some of them don't work and, after you have redone the fence, another device may not work anymore.

 
Put yourself into the shoes of a developer working on fixing lots of bugs or editing xml all day. Also there are meetings to attend, other developers to ask for stuff, coffee to drink, having a chat with the fellow sitting with you in the office or your hubby or cat if you have home office...
And mixed in with all these activities there is also a forum where reading and posting stuff is as high on your priority list as that chat. Most of the time it is just a thought on the back of your mind that you should read the forum to know if any crisis is burning there or just show up since you haven't been posting for a long time. If you are bored or just don't want to do anything else, you might remember to look there. If you have interesting work to do you won't even remember that the forum exists.

We are here, just getting work done for A17.2 and A18. 17.2 is entering testing phase, since I think all the big bugs are squashed. We've been putting work into reducing our garbage generation from memory allocations, so less stalls from that. Some of those changes will be in 17.2, some in 18.

You forgot to mention conditioning and oiling those magnificent beards!

In a single player game I have no problem smashing loot containers. I have yet to fully explore a map so there's plenty of stuff around.

In a multi-player game however you'd soon run out of anything to loot.

For that are respawner mods

Got so far

* Cars

* Boulders

* Gorepiles - Bird nests - Trash bags (over cross)

* Gun Safes (because wrenched for steel in startgame)

to add a few Shipping crates is no problem (even if i until now saw no need for that)

Oh my gosh! He's alive! He's alive!

 
I've been having some trouble finding shale in the desert. I've dug down to the bedrock and found lots of iron, lead, rock and yes sand but no shale.

I've tried digging another tunnel that is shallow but still no shale. Any ideas?

Other ores are identified by gravel patches on the surface, which return a trace amount of the ore. Dig up gravel in the snow biome, see lead, there's going to be a lead deposit a few layers down. I spent an hour last night digging up gravel patches in a burnt biome before I found a trace of nitrate. Dug up a few other gravel in the area and they all gave nitrate. Opened up a 10x10 mine and 3,000 nitrate in an hour (plus one silver node, good for 11 nuggets).

I haven't yet looked for shale in A17 so maybe it's different? Have you tried looking for surface gravel?

Yes but I didn't see any. I looked for the way it looks on the map but unlike other biomes, there are little tell-tail signs.

That's pretty cool. Good to know.
