Frostpunk 2- Placing Extraction District in Winterhome
I have frostbroken the toxic gas source and several spots around it to make enough space for the district, but when I go to construct it, the map seems to show it not having been broken yet. What gives? I'm resigned to the fact that I'm probably going to have to restart the chapter since things have gone exceptionally sideways.
Siding over existing sheeting.
I'd like some feedback on my plan here. First, windows will be replaced. Second, battens and any molding will be removed so the wall surface will be flat. Third, add vapor barrier. Last, install siding.
Anything that I'm missing, or just tips from experience?
Edit: How do I deal with the attaching power drop? (Obviously I'd have the utility shut off when I do the work)
Crash
As soon as the cutscene begins when I approach the radio station to record the message, the game crashes. (Running on PC)
Paw lift
My 1.5yo cat has been lifting his front right paw when he stops moving. I don't think his gait looks different, and he still runs and wrestles with our other cat.
My concern is that we recently got a 6' cat tree. He loves the top perch. I've seen him get down with little effort (there are intermediate platforms). I'm concerned he's landed badly and hurt himself. Both cats are reckless, to say the least, when the automatic feeder goes off. I've looked at the paw and I can't see swelling or wound of any sort. I gave a gentle physical exam to the area too and didn't feel anything untoward, and he didn't flinch or protest.
I'm considering taking him to the vet for an X-ray, but 1. He is very skittish and will freak out and, 2. Is a vet going to do anything other than tell me it's a sprain...here's a bill for an X-ray?
Shared Bennie pool
I'm adapting the Dishonored RPG by Modiphius for Savage Worlds on Fantasy Grounds. So my question will be twofold. I'd like to use Bennies to represent the "Momentum" mechanic from Dishonored, but it's a shared pool, and limited to 6. You gain it with raises. I'd still award them for role-playing, humor, and fantastic feats. You lose one Momentum/Bennie per scene.
So my question is does this sound like too much of a stretch? Momentum seems to function very much like Bennies. I don't like the limit of 6 though because it doesn't account for the amount of players, and besides, Bennies make the game more fun.
It does challenge the players to think more carefully about burning a bunch all at once since they are a shared resource...or they could also play that into their character traits like greed and selfishness.
My other question is specific to Fantasy Grounds, but limited to the Savage Worlds ruleset since Bennies aren't used in other rulesets. Since they're tied to a player's character sheet how would you recommend I implement a shared use of the Bennies?
Customizing resources with effects
I've seen, and searched for how to customize with effects, but I've never found how to create custom effects. Until NOW! I've been looking to create a setting that almost fits into all of the basic stuff from SWADE, but I want to tweak it even more than just changing the existing stats from a copy/paste. I'm super geeked, and I just wanted to share this since I've seen similar questions in my research.
The previous owner built a 12x22 addition on the back of my house. It was unfortunately built on the concrete patio slab. So my question is how should I handle the sheeting/siding at ground level. The current siding has, of course, water damage. I'd like to tear off everything down to the studs and sheet with ThermoPLY and side with engineered wood lap siding. I've also thought about putting a single row of fiber cement siding at the ground. I didn't think there's much I can do about the existing wood framing on the ground already, unless you all have ideas.
So I have an employer who writes my hours as "1" and my "Rate" as the gross. So this is super unhelpful for calculating OT. Is there a way to weed out that information for my tax preparer?
