I’ve just lost my third pup to sickness because no one would let her eat. I was tired and couldn’t find a single elk herd anywhere so ran around finding rabbits and hidden fawns but every time I brought one back, my pups would shove past the sick one (they were all above 80% and she was 20%) and when they were full one of my yearlings shoved past the sick one and ate the whole fawn, she later was too sick to eat and died. I’m getting really frustrated trying to get my sick pups to eat when all my packmates seem to do is try their hardest to ensure they die.

I was hoping growling at the ones stealing her food would make them stop and back off but they just ignored me. Is there anyway at all to ensure my sick hungry pup can eat first?

Quick question about the Variable Prey & Food Abundance setting, with it On, does it also affect the number of carcasses that spawn? I usually never find them generated in the world but I played on the setting and it rolled Plentiful for the first year. I’ve been finding a lot more spawned carcasses than usual so I’m wondering if the setting also affects this or if I’ve just gotten lucky.

I attempted my second Ironwolf run and it was going great until the Growing Pups Quest. I did everything I was supposed to, marked territory before starting the quest, ignored all hex invasions and just focused on food yet it wasn’t enough. Food seemed to be miles away despite my Rendezvous site being in the upper elevations and the herds were almost always in rival pack territory. I tried my best but my pups (only have 4) kept demanding food and my Mate would not get off his butt and hunt alone even when he was starting to starve, he whined at me once and I hoped he’d finally go hunt but instead he just lied down when I didn’t respond. I lost the first pup, then the second, then the other two got too weak to eat or something and both died in their sleep.

Is this just a skill issue on my part or did my poor choice in mate just cost me the run? I always seem to pick the worst mates and despite trying to tell if they’re energetic I always get the super lazy and cautious ones that will not help me at all.

I attempted my first Ironwolf run in Amethyst and I am having an insane amount of trouble with the Mirror Pack. The other two packs seem to leave me alone just fine but Mirror seems to just be out for blood all of the time. They had raided my camp to kill my pups several times, then during young hunters they ambushed me and killed 2/3 of my young pups as we were already hurt and hungry. My run ended soon after since we just couldn’t get enough food and to no surprise, Mirror ambushed us again and killed me.

I really don’t know what causes them to be so aggressive, I did try fleeing but a broken leg from a bad deer hunt pretty much sealed my fate. Is there a way to counter their aggression? I didn’t have nearly enough wolves when they invaded my hexes and they tend to steal 2-3 when you’re unable to defend, leaving my territory smaller and smaller. Looking to try again but could really use some advice.

Hi everyone, I’ve had quite the day. I had a blood test recently to try and pinpoint why I’m so tired all of the time, I used to just assume it was due to university stress or my mental health struggles but I was told I’ve got pretty bad anaemia. It wasn’t too much of a shock as I’ve struggled with it on and off throughout my life, most notably when I was a baby to a pre-teen I had it quite bad.

The doctor I spoke to on the phone has also requested on top of the supplements I’ve been prescribed to talk to a doctor about my menstrual cycle as I mentioned it was very heavy and painful, they said it’s riskier to have with anaemia. The only available doctor in a short time frame is male but I was reassured by the receptionist that he’s really respectful. I’ve never really discussed my menstrual cycle before and I’m not even sure what I need to be talking about (I know it’s different for everyone so it’s hard to tell what I think is normal or not)

I have the appointment next week and I could really use some advice and pointers when it comes to discussing this type of thing.

Hi everyone! I’m very new to the game and I’m struggling a lot with Healer. The reason I want to learn this class is that I got this game purely so I could play with my friends. I love to be a support character in any game, boosting my friends and helping them out so from what I’ve seen Healer is one of the best classes for this.

These are some of the issues I’m struggling with:

- Food: I read it was best to play Healer cautiously but in doing so, I get hungry and run out of food quite quickly

- Minotaur: I’m not too certain what triggers him but I seem to get him on levels 2 and 3 all the time, at that point I try my best to find the exit quickly but I’m often killed by Spiders or Skeletons when rushing to find it

- Spellbooks: I’m not sure if I’m just getting insanely unlucky but I can’t find any damage spellbooks, is there a method to finding them? I only have my staff to do damage and I’m apparently incredibly squishy too.

Carry Weight: I’ll admit I’m a looter in games, currently it’s hard to know what’s worth holding onto. Shops seem rare and rarer still in getting one you can sell the specific things you have. I tend to pick up any gem and spellbook in hopes of selling them for a brewing station or potions. My speed being affected by this has caused me to die a lot of the time when trying to flee a Spider or in two cases a very fast white rat.

Currently I consider it a good run if I can even get past level 4 whereas when I played Monk a few times I was getting much further. I am having a hard time getting used to Healer but want to try my best for when me and my friends finally get a day to play together, I could use any and all advise!

The weather is lovely but brutal inside. I struggled to get any sleep at all last night because of it, didn’t doze off until about 4am. I feel completely drained but trying my hardest to finish my paper. I’m running on 4 hours, cheap coffee and baking inside, gotta finish this thing by Monday 🫠

I’m 23F, I’ve only ever dated one person. She was great, and I loved her a lot but we got together when we were pretty young (teenagers) and for 3 years, it was going quite strong but she wanted intimacy and didn’t understand why I didn’t. It took me some time to figure out I was Asexual and a lot of things made sense after discovering that. We tried to figure it out, but I was given the ultimatum; try intimacy, open the relationship or it would end. I couldn’t compromise on trying and we both felt uncomfortable at the idea of opening it so she ended the relationship.

It hurt a lot as you can imagine, I really thought she would be the one for me, she even talked about proposing to me but this was just something we weren’t compatible on. It’s been 4 years since then, now she’s married and I find myself still completely alone, not even haven gone on a date since we broke up.

I was thought maybe there could be something between me and a woman I met on campus 2 years ago, she was quite forward however, and I expressed I was uncomfortable with it, she found someone else quite quickly.

And just a few hours ago something similar. I had been taking to this guy for about a year, we really get on well and he started expressing his interest in me. I did make it clear I was asexual, he said something along the lines of “I do wonder if there would be something in the future but I don’t want to make you uncomfortable.” He’s been rather flirty, but respectful. But today he made me uncomfortable. He asked about kids, I said I don’t plan on having them, both on my views and sexuality, he said “That’s no fun, you’d make a great mother!” Well intentioned I’m sure, he is a sweet person but I don’t think he really sees the incompatibility I’m seeing.

Sometimes I just really hate how difficult it is. My Allo ex is married, and I haven’t even gone on a date with someone who understands my boundaries. I don’t want to come off as a bitter ex, I still talk to her and her wife, we’re great friends! I just feel so unlovable sometimes. I don’t want to hate my sexuality but I’m scared I’m starting to.

Needed context: I am Asexual, this is a question aimed as Poly Aces or those who may have experienced a similar situation as I

So, I’ve only ever been in 1 relationship In my life and that was 4 years ago. Since then, I’ve been alone (and it’s sucked tbh) I still want and desire a relationship with someone, I find myself needing that closeness without someone growing stronger with each year. (I have no desire of sexual intimacy at all and it’s not something I can compromise on, it’s not something I can give)

But, I find myself wondering that my lack of luck in finding someone to attempt to have a relationship with either boils down to just that, luck or something else (maybe just me as a person)

I don’t know if it started out of a growing desperation but I’ve thought about Polyamory on more than one occasion. I still struggle with my sexuality at times (me being asexual is why my only previous relationship ended) it was incredibly difficult to get over my internalised hatred of asexuality and to be honest, part of it still lingers in my head. I know it’s probably stupid, but I start to feel like my only chance at ever finding someone to be with romantically is if they got to be with someone else sexually. The thought of that rubs me the wrong way, it makes me feel like I’m not enough again and brings back that hatred in my head.

I don’t know if this is more on the grounds of needing therapy to navigate my feelings about this or not. I had never thought about polygamy before. I don’t think I consider myself polygamous yet for some reason, the through of being with two people who also don’t seek a sexual relationship more appealing than being with two people who do.

I could really use some clarity of advice, any would be appreciated.
