Got a couple of hours in last night.

I found hepcat's place and helped myself to some of his firewood. Unfortunately he only leaves putrid meat out for visitors, so I had to fry up my own turtle.

I also found a nice little secluded stretch of beach near a giant tree a little west of hep's place and built a hovel. I'm managing to fare very well out there, with plenty of stone, wood, water, and food. I'll probably hang out for awhile to get my supply stock up, then start heading north.

I'm having a lot of fun with it so far, and adjusted to the controls pretty quickly. There's a bit of a learning curve with the interface, but a couple of Youtube videos cleared that up. Thanks Fret, Sepiche, et al for the welcome last night.

P.S. I started up a nude character on a different server early on just to laugh at it (I'm a juvenile), and my daughter (who I thought was in the bath) walked in. She screams, "THEY PUT IN TOO MUCH DETAIL!!!" and ran screaming from the room. I don't know if I'm a bad dad for accidentally exposing my daughter to a digital ding dong, or a great dad for training her to run from penises.

I really hope you checked the zoning regulations. I left one server because someone decided to go with a ranch style home in a neighborhood that was clearly zoned "rich folks".

The boy and I have already abandoned our starter home that was a little too close to the common folk and have moved up closer to the northern wall, by the Black Galleon. The Black Galleon has a lot of skilled craftsmen that don't seem t mind too much coming to work for us, particularly after we kill all of their fighter friends. Once we have hired everyone we need from the pirate ship, we'll probably move a little further north and build our Black Ice Palace. We need somewhere with easier access to hides. The humans are fine for regular hides, but we also need thick hides... and demon blood. I guess we could stay where we are and just hunt Rhinos for thick hide. They are kind of on the brutal side though. We'd still need to travel for demon blood.

Got me a little starter home overlooking the river toward the jungle after a short detour through Fret's single mine (and now no mine) minefield. Should have some more time to play today hopefully.

It's highly likely that I will be on pretty much the entire weekend (as I have for the past several weekends) if anyone needs any help and again, anyone is welcome to join our clan so you can make use of all our facilities. We already have a good variety of tier 3 thralls (flawless or exceptional item journey step) and this weekend I will be trying to upgrade most of them to T4. We can also help when you get the Abyssal Remnant journey step whether you join the clan or not. He's the newbie boss creature (you should be 20+ for that).

Can you change the clan name to something less goofy? Knights of Dusk makes me think of that old loony tunes cartoon. Although if you did use one of the actual titles from that cartoon, I would totally join Loin of Beef or even Knights of Day.

I made Morlac last night and played for a quick bit. I have some clothes, couple of tools, and made a bedroll. Hit level 2 and found a nice spot up under one of the arches of the Broken Bridge to throw down my bag for the night. Seems safe place to be a savage hobo. What level is the recipe for a shopping cart?

It was supposed to be Knights of the Deep, but apparently the character limit for clan names is *really* short. My gaming guild is Sterling Order of Knights (and you thought Knights of Dusk was goofy) so that's where Knightly part comes from. I woul dbe happy to change it to "Not Dead Yet" is that helps.

Gras much better considering the culinary options in the game.

Sheesh, Sepiche is like a barbarian Frank Lloyd Wright. I stumbled across his Fallingwater earlier today. I became jealous and tried to deface it by placing human body parts on the roof. But it only ended up making it look even better.

Do you offer any classes?

It looks like Pippi was updated this morning and the server isn't behaving.

I found the old version of the mod here until the server is updated:

Sorry about that. It seems that the server update and restart tasks worked fine, but the mod update had an error. I've created one that should fire off in three minutes to test it out (updating a single mod rather than all at once) and regardless of whether that works or not I'll fire it back up in ten or so.

edit - Yep, it seems the update tasks are all broken, which is super inconvenient. I've disabled the other mods to try and cut down on potential update issues.

coopasonic · Post by **coopasonic** » Sun Jul 01, 2018 11:41 am

No worries and thanks.

LTs farming had the stacking and number of slots changes. We miss those.

Fretmute · Post by **Fretmute** » Sun Jul 01, 2018 12:20 pm

Hellfire. I hadn’t played without it so I thought those were defaults. I assume that nuked everyone’s inventory?

I’m at work, but I can restart the server from here and turn it back on. I can replace everyone’s stuff later this afternoon when I get home.

coopasonic · Post by **coopasonic** » Sun Jul 01, 2018 1:18 pm

It didn't nuke inventory, any new stacks are limited and you can't add anything else to a chest or crafting station until you get down to the normal limit. It just requires lots of reshuffling of stuff. 10x stack sizes are addicting.

Fretmute · Post by **Fretmute** » Sun Jul 01, 2018 1:32 pm

I apologize. If you and your son can hop off for ten minutes I can reboot with it reenabled (if you quote this message I’ll get a Tapatalk notification and will know to do it).

Bah, I lied. I have to edit the mod config file manually and I don’t have an ftp client on the phone. Should be home in an hour or so.

Oh sorry, we had logged off for a while when I posted that last message and we were just bumming around the house pretending we could do stuff other than play video games. Don't worry about us, do what you need to do. Even if we are playing, we'll live. Our characters, maybe not so much, but death happens.

hepcat · Post by **hepcat** » Sun Jul 01, 2018 5:28 pm

Oh god, yeah. Don’t ever feel the need to rush over anything even remotely tied to your server. And don’t forget to let us know if we can chip in.

hepcat · Post by **hepcat** » Mon Jul 02, 2018 10:47 am

Oh man, I need to up my game.

I logged in for a few minutes late yesterday, but promptly got stuck in yet another sandstorm and died. It was night in the jungle area I was trying to create a new home in, so it was pitch black. I couldn't find my body to retrieve my things though. I'll try again during the day.

coopasonic · Post by **coopasonic** » Mon Jul 02, 2018 11:07 am

You learn pretty quickly to tell when a sandstorm is coming and you need to find shelter if you don't have a sandstorm mask. The mask is a tier 2 items so it's hard to come by in the early game and you just need to huddle in a hole.

Fret, Spartan Wolf and I played around the purges yesterday. Fret used admin commands to fill purge meters and trigger the purges. At Fret's house it was waves of hyenas with the occasional were-hyena sprinkled in. Were-hyenas tend to hang out in one area of the northern desert (The Den) and they are *tough* but pretty manageable with decent armor and weapons. For the three of us they were really pretty easy and it looked like Fret could have handled them without us.

The second purge came to one of our small outposts that had no guards, but I brought a T4 fighter along and parked him at the entrance.... Of course the purge never came that way so he did nothing at all. It was a purge of locusts, which were actually Sand Reapers... They kind of look like preying mantises crossed with the creatures from stranger things. They aren't very tough. Worse than hyena, but not terrible... the problem was that the bonus creatures sprinkled in for fun were Boss Sand Reapers... there were two of them and we spent THIRTY MINUTES killing them. If Fret wasn't there I think we would have been screwed completely... or at least hid in a corner. I guess the good news is that the purge is time-boxed so after we killed the boss reapers it was over.

Anyway, don't be surprised if you log on and all your stuff is broken. The purge is coming for you.

Fret has spent a wee bit more time playing than you have... and Wolf and I have played more than Fret... *and* have a lot more experience with it.

Hmm, hopefully my little home overlooking the river is intact. It thought I had more time to get some defenses setup.

My son was complaining that he wanted a purge and Fret delivered. We were really just curious how they worked. If your place did get caught up in the mess and you need help recovering let me know. We can lend a hand.

I am seriously considering placing a vault somewhere down in the newbie area (probably near DSOUTH for (my) convenience) with extra stuff like crafting thralls that we've replaced and other equipment we would normally just let rot as we upgrade.

Hey now, I'm a working barb, just like you. My house is nice, but I wear the skins of my enemies, just like everyone else.

Coop, on the other hand, has a wheel of pain in his basement. Sure, you want to hear the lamentations of the women, but only when you're, *ahem*, <lamenting> . . . not during breakfast.

coopasonic · Post by **coopasonic** » Mon Jul 02, 2018 1:59 pm

OK, just to be clear, I don't think I am better than anyone else here. I simply *am* better than everyone else.

Seriously though, this is why I keep pushing on the clan thing. It is much easier to get things done as a group. I just have the help of a 12 year old that I have to talk into doing anything useful other than killing stuff and making trophies and my life is just so much easier for it. The only thing holding us back at this point is our main base has no significant ironstone (or ichor or brimstone or hell, wood even) anywhere nearby and I have been avoiding farming it as a result. I just stuck where we are for easy access to thralls.

I know more mods is probably bad at this time, but:

That mod addresses the most glaring omission in the game, no mini-map.
