Title. I've been getting extremely frustrated trying to figure out where the heavy miner coal nodes are on the first (classic?) map. I need to collect 6 large coal chunks for the quest, and there's no large coal anywhere. Large iron? check. Copper and gold? You betcha. But where's the large coal node?

I spent a very frustrating time trying to ask Google Gemini for help but it kept giving me wrong information, like telling me there's one right above and behind the item chute (that coal node is small), or that there are secret caves above the water pool in the back copper cave called the "top caves" where all the big coal is. (there is a secret cave up there, but it's only small c

So I've had all of westville unlocked for a while now, tagged all the grafitti spots, got all the customers, but there's that nagging 50 influence left that won't go away. Reading online tells me that's because there's a cartel dealer who lives next to the tattoo shop who needs to be killed. But because I've already got everyone unlocked, he only pokes his head outside at midnight for like 0.01 seconds. I've tried waiting there to shoot him at that moment but he's just TOO GODDAMN QUICK. My reflexes are just not up to the task. By the time my eye registers he's there and my finger clicks the mouse, he's gone again. (disclaimer, I'm over 50 years old and have shitty eyesight and re

Coming to this game from DRG. Played Control, loved it to pieces, was super-hyped about the idea of exploring the Oldest House in the same way I explore caves in DRG. All that brutalist, weird, randomized moving architecture? Variable liminal spaces? LET'S GO!!! ...until I actually played the game and found the maps are STATIC.

Like, wtf? How could they pass up on such an obvious good idea? Who the hell wants to play the same exact maps over and over? BORING! What's even the point of exploration? Why don't more games see what Deep Rock's obvious best feature is (newly generated levels EVERY mission!) and copy it?

I've been waiting for YEARS for other games to catch on to the

Several times now in the middle of combat, my shotgun will suddenly just have zero shells in it. I didn't shoot them, three seconds ago my clip was full, but suddenly when I go to shoot I'm suddenly at zero-in-clip. Am I imagining this? The first time I thought I must have just misremembered reloading, but after it keeps happening it's starting to feel like some kind of bug. It always seems to happen when I'm fighting mutants (boars and bloodsuckers mostly) and almost always just after I've quickly sprint-dodged to one side as they are charging me. I turn to line up a shot, and... no ammo. WTF?

Anyone else experiencing this or am I just zone-crazy?

Note: This ISN'T the zombies-s

So I'm trying to do the firmware update that was released last year. I've already done one update before so the instructions say to use the "Advanced Mode" and just do the firmware, since I already have all 500 sounds.

However, the instructions say when I click "Update Firmware" under advanced mode, I should then click "okay" and then navigate to the firmware file. However, the Updater does not give me any prompt to navigate to anything. It just tells me I haven't selected a file, and need to before proceeding. And then boots me back to the advanced mode screen. But THERE'S NO WHERE TO SELECT ANY FILE. It never gives me the option to navigate anything. How am I supposed to selec

Spoilers, probably.

I've got to the point where i have void cubes being made. I've made a few trees on the hollow spawns to the north. Got 6 channels running, 4 reactors, 3 hellstone vault things. AND WAY TOO MANY GODDAMN SILOS.

But I think this is it for me, all I do is stare at the screen trying to find which of the silos need to be clicked on. There's so many silos that i simply CANNOT keep them all clicked. They expire too quickly. There's too many of them. Lots of them are BEHIND things that makes them difficult to see. I just cannot keep up with all the visual clutter and noises and things needing to be clicked. My brain is exhausted trying to play "Where's Waldo" when

When you're placing down the DOTS pen, the hologram shows a cone at one end so you know which end of the pen is which, and it makes it easy to place. Why is this not also done for the video cameras? Yes, they do have a slight animation when you place them of the little screen-flap closing, but that's REALLY easy to miss, and I'm constantly placing cameras down backwards by mistake.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who is constantly placing cameras backwards. Would it not make sense to just have a vision-cone on one end so it's impossible to mistake one orientation for another?

Please tell me there's some kind of cheat workaround for this. I really don't want to play chess, and the thought of walking away without the inventory upgrade just makes me want to quit the game and give up entirely.

Even if I wanted to play chess, I can't even see the whole board properly.

As the title says. I'm not looking to change the total amount of minerals ON the planet, I just want, say, all the iron ore in one big vein. all the copper in one place, etc etc. Is that something hidden somewhere in Galactic Scale's options pages? Or is there another mod that does that?

On a related note, while I love the mod manager, I really, really wish more of the mod descriptions were translated into english. I have no idea what most of the mods even do.

So I've got into the habit of just putting proliferator on EVERYTHING, as I'm sure many others have. At first I only used them for production, then I learned they increase the energy output of fuel too, and increase the chances for fractionization, which made me think, what happens when you put it on either the empty accumulators going into the charging array (do they get MORE charge? or do the arrays just spit out extra charged accumulators?) or the full accumulators going into the discharging array (more power discharged maybe?)

So does this actually DO anything, or am I just wasting my mk3 Proliferator by spraying it on accumulators?

So up until recently I had audio coming IN to my pc through my Behringer USB interface, but OUT through the main system (onboard) output. RealTek I think. Using ASIO4ALL drivers with Reaper, everything worked fine.

But then I upgrades my graphics card, and started getting weird hums in my speakers whenever the screen resolution changed. So I switched to using the audio output on the Behringer instead of the system output, which eliminated THAT. But now, when I go to use Reaper, everything I play back through the Behringer output (even stuff that I recorded before and was fine) is full of annoying crackling and pops. Also, now any time i open Reaper I hear a series of clicks. It's

Okay so I'm new, I was going through the manual learning about the oscilators and such, when suddenly my hydra stopped making any sound altogether. Like, I accidentally muted the output somehow or something? The menus all work, and when I press the keys, the module buttons light up a little like they usually do, but the waveform in the little window does not vibrate at all, it's just a flat line. So like, the synth thinks it's making sound but it's not? Turning the synth off and on again did not fix this, neither did a factory reset.

Help? What would make the keys suddenly stop working? My other synth still works fine so I know it's not my mixer or anything. I tried using the

so I finally managed to Ascend for the first time (yay!) and created a custom race. But then when I restarted, the new race wasn't an option? The new race I created was a Fey type, maybe I picked the wrong fork or something. Which way do you go to get to Fey's? I tried going into animal life, then mammals, then small mammals... and the only choice given to me was goblins. So, I guess I'm playing goblins now. But I wanted to play the race I just MADE!

Was there an option I missed somewhere for "play as the species you just created"? How are you meant to find them in all of that DNA/RNA stage confusion? What did I do wrong?

Currently playing as Ent. I seem to have every other minor trait to spend genes on except the one for military tactics. I've been trying to tame hell over and over, starting with large (20-25) patrol sizes at first and then switching size for numbers once the number of demons gets low enough, but without the tactics trait, I can never keep them down for very long, there's inevitably a demon surge, everyone dies, and I have to wait for all the soldiers to recruit again. Trying to get any real amount of infernite seems impossible. Really, I just need that trait. This isn't my first time in hell, I've gotten a LOT farther with previous runs, who all gained that trait to spend genes on

This is my first time playing this game, it was really fun and interesting at first, but I seem to be hitting a bunch of walls I don't know how to navigate past, or something. I've got to the space age, colonizing the moon, sending missions to other planets in what i assume is my home solar system. I've done some of the ARPA projects (at least 2 of each), but only got enough plasmids to get the cheapest of the plasmid upgrades (dunno what that's even for, or how i even GOT the plasmids, they just showed up).

The problem I'm hitting right now is that everything is so expensive, and slow to accumulate, that I 'm finding it nearly impossible to even buy anything anymore. I CANNOT keep my
