Sunday Morning posted:The wind will take stuff from your stations mask or no mask. Even the sandwall doesn't stop this for some reason. I just empty my stations and chalk the day up as lost. The worst are automatic cutscenes when you exit your house during a sandstorm. Love seeing the "wind has blown away your stuff" during a forced cutscene. Yeah, I just meant that the person I replied to thought it took stuff from them and that the mask stopped it. Mask is irrelevant and it blows stuff from stations, not your pockets. The sandwall does stop it, but it has to be up. seriously, I had it happen again (testing to see if I could track the stuff down again) and it seems to consistently put it floating up in the air above one-story house and roof level and a few yards from my fence towards the scrapyard. It happened both times with stuff from my ore processor, so I don't know if placement matters or anything. It being up in the air like that explains why I couldn't find it and also why I later found some very random stuff seemingly out of nowhere while jumping my fence on horseback.

I know from experience that the sandwall does not stop this completely. First sandstorm after I got the wall, I raised it and went about my business and later that day I got the message some of my stuff had blown away. If it does effect it, it's not 100%.

I've absolutely never had it do this with the sandwall up and I've played three full games. If it's not 100%, then it's like 99.9% and you are unlucky as hell.

It only happened to me the one time and I was like wtf and looked on google to find some other people had it not work properly and just stopped running stuff during sandstorms. I'm usually so well stocked on stuff it was no big deal. Guess I'll go back to trusting the wall if it was just a rare glitch.

Glitch is very possible. But hey, if it happens again, just jump around on that rock beside your house and you might get it back. I'd recommend doing it the next day, because you can see the weird floating stuff better when the storm's over.

I'm 60 hours into the game and roughly 50-60% of the story in but I think I'm gonna shelve the game until the next patch. The game's great but I'm having a bunch of little problems pile up on top of each other. The worst one is that I have 3 different quest markers permanently stuck on my map from quests that I have already completed, which makes it pretty frustrating to navigate.

tudabee posted:Important question: is Unsuur going to be mad at me if I don't have paint for his quest Open mission list and see if there's a timer on that mission or not below the rewards (there isn't, so you can take as long as you want.) Vast majority of all missions are not timed, and those that are will time out even if you don't pick them, so there's no drawback to picking every mission. Commissions are an exception obviously.

If you wait a whole year to give him that paint he will act like you gave it to him the day he requested it.

Indeed, he waited quite patiently, which turned out to be appropriate given the quest  In other news, Unsuur is an enormous dork and I think I love him

I love all of his fourth-wall breaking. Some of it is actually pretty, uh, deep and melancholy, like this conversation where he goes 'Hey, so I'm an NPC and my content is about to run out. What does this mean for you? Will you still care about me, even a little, when that spark of new dialogue inevitably goes out of my eyes?" Yeah buddy, I still care about you. Also, Justice is a bit of a square compared to Unsuur, but I don't think he's boring. He's an affable straight man to Unsuur's comedy gold. I like you too, Justice, we cool!

The devs clearly loved referencing Simpsons but I think he's given the majority of them. First one I picked up on was the world without zinc bit.

You know, I think this is the reason I like the Sandrock NPCs so much. They actually play off of each other and get involved. There's storytelling, concerts, sermons, and various other activities that have random NPCs attending them. Mi-An runs around collecting resources. The scrappers are scrapping stuff, and folks are generally just always going around doing things. Even the shopkeepers tend to be animated in what they're doing instead of standing stock still at the register. The world revolves partly around the player character, but you get the sense that the NPCs have a life and are doing things independently of the player, and the writing backs that up by having a lot of the story commissions be partly handled or funded by the NPCs in the town.

I disagree with basically everything Miguel stands for and does but also find him compelling as a character because despite being an rear end in a top hat he feels fleshed out with real, understandable reasons and goals for why he is how he is. In particular the late game conversations you can have with him while he's in jail after the failed Duvos coup are really good and I like that his "redemption" isn't straightforward and even after acknowledging he was essentially groomed by Matilda and Duvos into a zealot, he admits that he's still just not all that able to believe in people's inherent goodness and fears society will slip back into its pre-age of darkness ways without a strong guiding hand. Which is a long-winded way of summing up why I like all the characters: they all have a shtick, but not only is it not the entirety of their being, but their shticks have reasons behind them and get explored and picked apart and characters then grow (or sometimes don't!) from that process. It's a very well realized little group of NPC's.

There is a dev (EDIT: the director of Sandrock and Portia!) on Reddit posting about stuff like the results of that survey, as well as how they created different characters in the game. She seems cool. https://www.reddit.com/user/Bamna_Piggy/submitted/ quote:Appreciate your feedback! We're also eager to keep players in the loop with more updates.😊 I'm thrilled when people refer to My Time at Sandrock as an RPG game, as it's not something we hear often. We're usually categorized as simulation game and cozy games, which MTAS undoubtedly is too. A significant portion of our development time is dedicated to crafting the main storyline, romantic plot, and side quests. 😅 Megazver fucked around with this message at 01:28 on Jan 16, 2024 |

Catori being a parent who abandoned her child to open game shops in a small town is just an insanely bad person. Heidi is a bit of a mystery besides just being that unmarried adult. All my favourites with Logan, Fang, and Owen being up there is feel good chemicals though.
