I'm at Quarantine Stack AMEN. There's a passage there blocked by rocks.

I threw 12 regular O2 grenades and two large O2 grenades at them. Each time, the game told me I dealt physical damage - but the rocks stayed intact.

Then for good measure, I emptied a full rifle magazine into one of the rocks. Dealt another grenade's worth of damage. The rock still didn't budge.

Am I really supposed to pour that much into a single blocked passage? Or is something weird here?

Example: a stopwatch has "patience 5". A bowling pin has "patience 1". If you wanted to grow a human with a profession that needs 10 patience, you could add two stopwatches... or ten pins. Either works.

Is there any reason to prefer the smaller number of items, or does it not matter at all?

That's gotta be a bug of some sort... but a funny one for sure. It's as if there is less drag from the water while the game window is not in focus. So the boat will begin to slowly accelerate.

For example, I was able to watch a top speed of 24 (electric motors only at the time) climb up to 31. And under full engines, I was able to exceed 60 km/h.

While you are tabbed out, you can move your mouse over the taskbar icon and then over the little preview window to see the game while remaining tabbed out. (At least, I can with the window settings I run, which is 'borderless'.)

Also, bonus tip for those unaware: your boat speed also depends on your boat's health. Even a single percent of damage can already cost you 1-2 km/h top speed. Keep on top of those repairs :)

Sometimes, when a symbol is marked yellow on the map, and you complete a quest there (say, activate the relay or the like), the symbol is no longer marked yellow afterwards. Essentially, it shows the location is completed.

Does this also apply to other locations? For example, I've been diving around Lincoln Grave for a while, and it feels like I've seen everything worth seeing there. But the symbol is still yellow on the map.

Does that mean I've missed something, or does it just never turn off because there's no quest to complete there that could turn it off?
