Early techo-barbarian prototype of a Devastator marine

We used to have a firearm thread for you nerds. It's like you guys are speaking Klingon. Although I did learn a lot of this stuff playing Jagged Alliance 2.

First, I am 80 hours in and love playing the game! Thanks for update 1.2 which fixed the dew collector, mushroom garden, etc. spawning issues. I am very excited for future content in the game. I would like to suggest that if any armor, weapon or tool items are equipped in the inventory screen (placed in the arm or armor slots) those items should no longer occupy any of the backpack inventory slots. Currently, any equipped item also occupies a backpack inventory slot as well. My thinking is that if a player equips an item in the arm or armor slots, they are "taking out" the item from the backpack inventory to use so that item should no longer occupy one of the backpack inventory slots. This would allow players to have more backpack inventory slots.

I dont have any major complaints about Grounded, its the best game since subnautica in its Respect, but when it comes to building my highways and sky bases around the map, i find myself getting over the Grind of Hauling!!! PLEASE, add some sort of pully / elevator system allowing us to pull material up from the ground! Love the game!! WELL DONE OBSIDIAN

I'm a bit North of Hurl so temps are a bit more moderate (I was very close to Morgan Hill for 15 years tho) but yeah ... we tend to get one or two weeks of 90F+ weather a summer, often broken up into 2-4 days at a time, unless we get the late fall heat wave. Most of the time day to day it's more like 78-82F where I am maybe. Humidity tends to be on the lower side but not this week. Humidity+heat kills me - which is why I won't be old-age home-ing to the popular Flordia locations or similar. Last night was tropical thunder here. Lightning show/thunder/rain for a long time in the wee hours while still a warm night. Not typical for the area and always interesting when it happens. Edit: my personal heat tolerance is about 80F and that's if I'm sitting still indoors. Which is why I have a wall A/C unit in my room - high-tech heats up a room in no time to way past that (hubby has one too to keep his pc/servers cool).

If you aren't prepared for what happens when you play and early access game then why didn't you wait to buy it until release? Bugs happen in early access, saves being wiped happen, glitches happen.

That reminds me of an old, somewhat sexist joke (so, trigger warning). A guy comes across a genie and the genie tells him: "I can grant you one wish." To which the guy replies: "I want a highway to Hawaii!" The genie goes: "Oh, come on, I can't build a highway that long across the ocean, wish for something else!" "Then I want to understand women." "So, uhm, two or four lanes?"

Thinking about building a greenhouse. I downloaded a few different drawings and I'm working out a plan for myself. I'd like to be able to grow strawberries and herbs year round in a pest free environment. At the grocery store last week I bought a big bag of Fuji apples and cored them and cut them into thin slices. After two long hot days in the solar dryer I have apple chips. And they taste really good!

That was a Browning. And NOT cheap!

You should add a snake that lives in the rocks and when you get near it it wakes up and starts going around the backyard that would be cool!

Not sure if you found it but near the bird fountain beside the hedges there is a secret cave you can find along the large stone walls it's like a little crevice. Anyway nothing of significant importance but it is nice little easter egg you will find a skeleton, a backpack with 10 ant parts in it, a rotten ant club and a bunch of ant heads on what looks like toothpicks. There is also a bunch of random bones put together with ant parts not sure if this is supposed to be a symbol or something but it was a cool find.

Not sure if this is where to post an idea about the thing lurking in the hedge, but here goes! I have an idea that I think could make the Hedge Broodmother more accurate and way more terrifying at the same time. I went up against her solo and only took 5% health worth of damage, overall if she is supposed to be a boss I think she needs to be more difficult. So wolf spiders can get big, I think that she should be made a little bigger to start with as a spider that is older than the others, with more health to go along with that size. Now for the main idea, wolf spider mothers also carry their young on their backs, and it is a scary image if you dare to look it up. I realize that having 1000 baby spiders in such a small area is probably not possible due to frame rates and whatnot, but I think it should be possible to have maybe 10 or so crawling on her back? They could possibly jump off (or spawn off her) and attack the player/players from different angles making it harder to simply focus on her during combat. I am not sure if this idea has already been considered and dismissed, but I think (granted I am not a game developer so I have no idea what is really possible here) that this idea is definitely worth some looking into. I am in love with the game so far, and can't wait to see what new things are added to the backyard, I will be exploring all of it. Thank you!!

My half-orc keneticist arrived at Oleg's and beat the first round of bandits. Probably won't be able to play it more until Monday. Since I'm a goody two tusks I have Linzi, Amiri, and Valerie in my party.

Hey, your money your choice. If you want a 12 gauge handgun for self defense that's your choice. I just feel that I should warn you about the limitations of a 12 gauge handgun. If you like 10 mm and know the limitations, and you still want to go with it. Go for it, its your choice....that said, can I introduce you to my friend .380 ACP? Tell us the truth, this is some Fallout cosplay thing. Ain't it? Just get a 10mm barrel and build a fallout gun around it.

Not a lot of guns come in 10mm, you might think to get yourself a more conventional caliber if you might buy another gun. (Which lets face it, you will...cause guns are awesome) Sig P38 are a good investment right now, they're cheap because of army surplus and they're a good gun. But you do what you feel like.

unsolicited advice: if you use mail for your ballot this november, ignore the pre-paid postage and instead affix a stamp. with our federal government purposeful diminishing the capacity o' the usps during a freaking pandemic, there will be delays in service. in most states, if a ballot arrives a few days late, as long as it is postmarked appropriate, the ballot will be counted towards the election results. the thing is, the pre-paid postage class o' ballots results in no date stamp being affixed to ballots returned in the provided envelopes. functional this means that your ballot, even if you mailed in a timely fashion, may not be counted. am predicting many thousands o' ballots, and perhaps millions, will not be counted 'cause o' postmark issues. such stoopid is not the kinda "fraud" trump describes, nevertheless, these predictable ballot fails is the result o' willful changes being made to postal service by the current administration. predictable does make the pitfalls avoidable. very few o' us pay for something we know we are not required to make payment. is no good reason you should need to affix a stamp to your pre-paid postage ballots. however, in these times when the democratic process is being attacked and undermined in new ways every time we check newspapers or watch wh briefings, it is going to be to your benefit to take a couple extra steps to protect your liberties. again, is Not your responsibility to place a stamp on a prepaid ballot, but you are now forewarned o' a seeming trivial and unobtrusive means by which potential millions o' votes will be suppressed this november. do not let anybody make it ez to steal your vote. HA! Good Fun!

Gun stores around here SUCK! I ask for a Beretta 92fs and they laughed and said "Good luck" I'm like "You don't have any?" and he says "No" like I'm an idiot for asking. I'm sorry, aren't gun stores supposed to have a variety of weapons? I may have to settle with a Glock 17. I mean yeah they're ugly as all Hell but they are very reliable and they have a ton of after market accessories you can attach to them to make them look and perform better. They even have clips that can hold 30 rounds lol. I recommend everyone get a piece, you really never know what could happen in these upcoming days/months/years. It's good to have one and not need it than the other way around.

I am sure it will sound like an excuse, but maybe most children aged 6-18 are not all that receptive to learning history. It is much easier to be enaged in history once you've lived long enough to have some context and insight into the world around you.

One reason im experiencing a ton of dropped frames is due to the abundance of grass planks I have all over the map that I can't get rid of. This feature would be very beneficial for console users as we do not get anywhere near the same FPS as PC users do. For example when I play on my original save, the PC runs flawlessly even with my messy server. Moment I go on my xbox I know for a fact I'm not even getting 60 fps.

Any excuse to post this video by Gun Jesus, his Cobray videos are the best

Chilling Grave and Grave Bound are interconnected. As you note you have to stack 10 hits to be able to paralyze with crits by Grave Calling. But If you have procced chillfog by killing a vessel with Grave Calling, crits with the weapon itself AND crits with chillfog will paralyze foes. This feature makes the weapon very OP, although it takes some work to set this up, unless you're fighting vessels, in which case it should happen easily so long as you can crit reliably. Upgrading Grave Calling to mythical will increase the chance for this to happen.

Oh. Yeah I heard there are issues with console, have you read the known issues relating to XB1?

Striker hammers, polymer frames and trigger safety beg to differ.

Having some issues with the building mechanics. Building scenario; Stairs leading up to a second floor with walls behind the stairs up to the floor. When in the blueprint stage the wall will cut short of the floor above. After this is built it too cuts short of the floor above. (See attached picture on the left side). After logging out and in again it seems the grass wall has grown through the floor. (See attached picture on the right side). The amusing thing is that they will switch sides during a logout and in. Seems to only do this with grass walls. Tried with sturdy walls which remains at the set height no issues with this other than stairs leading the the sturdy walls you will have to jump to get onto floor at the top due to getting stuck at top step with the stem going horizontal. Not ground breaking but I'm sure its not working as intended. Thanks for another great game obsidian, already logged 38 hours and still loving it :)

I'm on Xbox one x

Bulk orders, 1k or more, you can get it for $0.60-0.65 per round. Regular retail you can expect around $1 per round based on taxes in your state. TN does not tax ammo beyond regular sales tax so a box of 25 in covington costs around $20.

anything that knows it's his food, or up to 3 times it's size jumping spiders are the most advance spider in the world. would be awesome to have jumping spiders too Regal Jumper is my favorite, the black and white with green fangs morph, Bold jumpers are pretty cool too. We get both of these plus the grey jumper in my yard. back on topic, i'd go for a phobia friendly mode we could toggle, seems the disney princess filter is the social media rage lately, they should use that.

It should be out in two days? Together with console release I think. Hopefully it won’t break my other mods.

Twice today, my game has crashed due to recycling something. I THINK both times it was when I recycled my grass plank pallet to move it. I will try again to confirm.

Np, I had no Time to play either. Mod patch 1.3 is probably going to be releases in september, and I am still wondering about some godlike tweaks.

yeah i have the steam version. I play with a friend who has the Xbox One S as the Host. When I join and start sprinting my character rubber bands pretty hard. I have to spam E walking in circles to interact and pick up items. Sometimes I find if take off the armour i have stops me from rubber banding. Not every time though. Sometimes things will disappear on my screen but not host screen such as base items. Often when we are exploring I cant see the host because he his at a different part on my screen, but on the host screen we are right next to each other. I get high ping pretty often. When I place structures for blueprints, the host lags and looses frames.

I would have much preferred Tristian over Harrim, but the human is a total squishy and there aren't a lot of good front line characters.

You do realize a cooler is just a plastic container with no actual means to keep ice cold unless it has electricity. Doesn't seem feasible at all tbh unless they actually do bring seasons to the game.

I would check your port forwarding and NAT settings to your router if all else fails.

have had a few smart dogs, but smart is relative. beyond rabbits, deer, play time and dinner, am certain the smartest o' our border collies had little interest in topics which might make us curious. am satisfied our dialogues with canines will remain, for all practical purposes, monologues followed by dogie displays o' pleasure or guilt or whatever is appropriate. the thing is, in spite o' our certainty we would be underwhelmed by whatever ideas our dogs have on a whole host o' topics, we do wish they would be better at communicating the nature and degree o' their infrequent discomfort. when our pups is feeling unwell, they may not show it in overt ways, and even when we do notice, the dogs is not forthcoming with useful details. perhaps the little black dog is noticeable less enthusiastic than normal and does not wish to play as is his normal waking state. when we ask him what is wrong, he gives nothing. unhelpful. we would pay a fair amount for a mechanical device which would translate dog-to-english. could tell us it is his stomach which aches, or perhaps his head. feeling cold? feeling hot? any particular food would make him feel better? do we need go to the vet... well, am knowing the answer to that one would be "no," even if he had a massive wound and his intestines were literal spilling out on the faux-wood laminate we got in the hallway adjacent to the kitchen. *shrug* am interested not at all in the musing o' our canines, but we do wish they could talk just so they could tell us what, if anything, is wrong. *shrug* only bring up 'cause far too often we has wished our dogs could talk when they is not well. downside is am knowing if we could understand 'em better, we would need listen to incessant drivel 'bout snacks and itches and toys and... whatever. is why am wanting a mechanical translator-- so we could turn it off 99.99% o' the time. HA! Good Fun!

Ugh, reinstalling now

I would prefer if Obsidian used their current system for skillchecks (that all stats can produce them, and they only drive the discussion towards a certain direction and don't work as "win-buttons"), but I would also like if there were actual "speech" skills like persuasion, intimidation, deception, mercantile, seduction, etc, that were actually put in more "hands-on" use. So that for example, you would actually have to do something to haggle - even if it was something as simple as in Morrowind on choosing how much discount you wanted. Gamify those options that cater to the "opponents" senses and good will, so that the situations in dialog was more... interesting than simply picking tagged lines.

Dear God I USED that computer in high school!

There is a reason why the state of the game is in EARLY ACCESS. Like any beta we play the game to try things out. The game isnt even done yet and wont come out until 2021! Most of us like what we see already. Some people just need to learn patience and anticipate the updates. I played many early access games and have been a beta tester as well. You just play it, break it and report it. Good luck with life dvsnathan.

A small idea I have is that dandelions have a small traces of potassium and other effects of "blood cleansing" via "diuretic". It's not enough for regular sized people but since you've been shrunk it would effect you differently. So once you cut down a dandelion you are able to pick up the leaves. When paired with the smoothie station you are able to create an antidote that purges your system from any type of poison for a time in exchange for losing some thirst or hydration. This protects you when fighting stink bugs but also when traveling through the poisonous area without sacrificing your armor strength since at the moment you have to swap your helmet and gas mask to use it. Just a small idea

What is your hardware setup? I have not experienced lag yet.

I agree. Doing this will create its own issues, but will be more realistic. If you have something in your hand, or are wearing it, it shouldn't be in your backpack. If you have your tools and armor, there isn't much space left for collecting resources.

Dear Obsidian, It would be nice if the multiplayer savegame could be stored in the cloud and accessible by the partymembers that created the game. As me and my friends cannot always play together due to lack of time or other obligations, it would be nice if everybody would be able to play; e.g. somebody has a hour of time and wants to build a bit around the base. Another day maybe someone else want to play a bit. Now I am the host and nobody else from the party can access the multiplayer savegame. Therefore please implement (if possible) the feature to be able to store all savegames in the cloud and for the entire party to be able to access it. Thanks and best regards, Mike

Playing an oldie...

My experience with first person combat is that it is only useful when using a bow or crossbow. Because the field of view is so narrow and the sense of depth is wrong it is difficult for me to melee opponents in first person. Give me a bow and a good stealth score and I.m all good. I would have a very hard time enjoying this game if I can't effectively fight with a melee weapon. This means I would need a robust third person view to play this kind of game.

Since I'm not sure I'm not all alone here nowadays, just a note for the record that Grim Face finally finished my yet another one completionist/ upscaled/ PoTD/ Trial of Iron PoE/WM1/WM2 run. Each and every quest/task/bounty were resolved one way or another. The only exceptions are some companions' personal quests (Durance, Maneha, Zahua). The rest of the run (after my latest update) mostly mirrored the Gloomy Face's one with slight deviations alone the pass. This time we were able to talk Alpine Dragon out of fighting, completed WM2 main quest and defeated Kraken before going to Cragholdt Bluffs > Mowrghek Ien and fought Adra Dragon long before the end of the run. Having Grieving Mother in the Crew allowed us to accomplish the most clean and perfect Adra Dragon's and Thaos' fights I've ever had. I'm so impressed with her performance that Grim Face graduates to the Deadfire as Priest (Eothas)/ Cipher (Ascendant) Mystic. Final (pre-Thaos) unbuffed Crew stats and equipment. Statistics are sometimes pretty weird since game failed to recognize the characters' achievements right - I've noticed much higher numbers for GM multiple times and she claimed the Adra Dragon herself (not the Hired Mender, whatever it is...) - but whatever: I have many and even more screenshots of the run so will be able to restore more or less detailed updates (in case there are interest and someone out here to read them...) but for the moment I'm eager to graduate into the Deadfire: to be continued....
