I just built my first tier four ship but one of my camps is super cranky because the flow of turtle soup is not happening as fast as they want because my waterfall is apparently running out of water. Now it only produces at 50%.

This is just really irritating. I set up a production and logistics flow for turtle soup and now I have to set up a different one because it ran out of water.

This isn't fun. The game stops being fun when you spend most of your time trying to figure out logistics puzzles instead of doing pirate stuff.

And don't even get me started on what happens when the salt deposits start running out. This island is in the middle of the ocean and I'm going to be running out of salt? Come on now.

I think the developers need to tone down the level of demand required to keep tier 3 and 4 crews happy. It makes the game unfun.

I'm sure some of you disagree. That's okay. I just have no enthusiasm for this game right now. It was so cool at first and now I spend most of my time putting out logistics fires.

Also, it's an island but we can't use ships to move large quantities of goods around the island? This seems like a huge oversight.

Edit: some of you seem to not understand what the word passive means

This happens every August. Everyday I kill four or five house flies that have managed to get into my house. They are probably coming in from the garage but I have a mesh curtain over the garage door so I don't know why it's not working. But they're just constantly around. There are a lot of feral cats in my neighborhood so that's probably part of it because feral cats means dead birds means housefly larva.

Those fly strips and fly paper are not things that I want to be things I see around the house.

I've used those bait bottle traps but they smell fucking disgusting. Very effective though. I could put them away from my house, but then I'm exposing my neighbors to that smell and that seems rude.

There's lots of things out there on the internet that claim to work for bugs, but a lot of them are all hot air.

The runners in the galley are having a hard time picking up enough turtle soup and bread that's just a little bit away. Maybe another warehouse in between?

I made this mistake and had to rewind.

For instance: tier 3 reaver requires the slop shop to be built, but you can't build the slop shop until you actually build the ship. This is dumb. But that's how it is. So build the ship, build the slop shop, get the supply chain solidified and then hire the crew.

This could be fixed if they just let you build the slop shop as soon as you unlock the ship.

If you don't do this and you have trouble getting the supply chain solidified you will deal with a lot of unrest in that camp which gets expensive and annoying. Personally I think the cohesion mechanic for crews that are in port but don't have the correct upkeep resources is really overblown.

I was looking for some light summer pants in an interesting color so I bought these. I'm going to return them.

The fabric has way too much plastic feel to it, it's like a stretchy polyester. They are smaller than they should be. Comparing the fit to some five pocket linen pants from BR that I bought recently, the BR pants are way better.

The color is closest to steel blue. I liked the color, it pops and would look good with a white shirt.

The linen shorts that I bought at the same time are great though. 100% European Linen Trouser Shorts, Deep Navy.

It's seriously aggravating. It seems like the developer didn't know that there was an API change or something.

I did reach out to the developer. No response.

This is probably related, but when I make a post and then go to make another post the text of the first post is still in the new post template. So that's also irritating, because I have to delete all the existing texts so that I can make a new post with different text.

Also, this is really driving up my number of API calls and since I'm paying per call (effectively) it kind of pisses me off.

Because omg two T3 piers in one camp are killing my cohesion because it's so hard to move enough goods for cobblers and slop shops and apothecaries to keep the T3 troops happy. And yeah, I know about keeping the production of the goods near the resource and then moving the finished good to a central location.

Also, I think the amount of water severely limits the amount of warehouses, so should I give up some fertile land so I can have many warehouses?

Google says "Upgrade your shipyard to Tier 3" but ... that's just not how it works.

Searching in the rose for turtle gives the Corsair Kitchen, which is much later. Searching for soup gives Carapace Cache, which is after the Turtle Catcher. Looking at the T3 ships, none of them mention the Turtle Catcher.

The production chains screen doesn't tell you how to unlock the Turtle Catcher.

I'm pretty sure one of the ships has a crew that wants Soup, but the rose doesn't tell you which it is.

The game could do a better job here.

Because getting turtle meat across the island for turtle soup is killing me right now. But the whole camp is mad if the scallywags (or whatever) don't get their soup.

I'm starting to get irritated with the game, mostly because warehouses are limited in what they can stock and I don't see any upgrades to that.

How do people deal with this?

I have 13 skip laurels that I put in the backyard earlier this year. It's been really dry lately so I want to set up a watering system of some sort. I already have a buried hose that runs across the yard. But I really want to just water the shrubs and not the entire area, so soaker hoses are out. I looked around at the local hardware store and didn't see anything that would work for this. I already have a sprinkler timer so that's set.

I'm thinking there must be some sort of a system that will deliver water to just one point like some sort of a spike in the ground. But I can't find anything like that. I know there are tree spraying waterers, but at the hardware store each of them was like 20 bucks and that seems like a lot for all of these - $260 seems like a lot.

Anyone got a suggestion?

I have reinstalled this app twice in the past 2 weeks and it's still happening.

I listened to an audiobook for about an hour this morning. Then I got in the car and ran an errand and listened to the same book in the car. And then when I got home and started the book back up it was reset all the way back to where I started this morning.

This is just super annoying.

The battery optimization is turned off. I have cleared data and cache and it's still happening. I have reinstalled and it still happening. I don't know of anything else to do.

App updated July 29th

I've donated money to Talarico and Jackson this cycle. Trying to help them was my first mistake apparently.

Now I get at least 5 fundraising texts per day. I reply with stop / end to EVERY SINGLE ONE.

I even set up a macro with MacroDroid to auto respond and delete the message. But it doesn't work on MMS messages (this is an Android limitation). So it works about 30% of the time.

But I'm still getting several per day.

Anything else I can do other than getting a new number? I always feel so duped, like oh I got a new text and then it's like oh they're just asking for money 🙄

I don't think the reverse is true though. That's like #8 on my list of desirable traits. But goddamn, women sure do love to put "make me laugh" on their profiles. I'm literally looking at a profile right now that says "the best way to ask me out is by: make me laugh, pick a place where we can actually hear each other..."

Women, do guys ever put "make me laugh" on their profiles?

Edit: for me, when a woman puts make me laugh on her profile I'm less likely to swipe right. If they said something about having a good sense of humor, that would be totally different. Make me laugh is imperative.

The other day I went to bed and checked my garage door to make sure that it was closed, like I always do. About 11:00 AM the next day I opened the garage and the garage door was open. Very odd. I live by myself so it wasn't somebody else.

My car is not in the garage, because right now the garage is full of lumber.

Last night I went to take the garbage out when I came home. Parked in front of the garage door, used the fob to open the door. Pressed the button once and the door went halfway up and then stopped. I looked at the fob and there was a little red light on there, which I think means that the battery is low. So I tried it a couple of times and it behaved strangely like it was sending out the signal twice instead of once.

I have a suspicion that the fob that was in my car the other night sent out a signal when its battery was low, causing my garage door to open in the middle of the night. I do have a security camera but I don't think the motion activation is going to trigger for the garage door opening because it's not pointed directly at the garage door.

I really don't want to replace the garage door opener, so advising me to get a better one because genies suck or something like that... That's not going to help.

This seems like a huge problem. Is this a thing with these fobs?

I'm curious how your experience of the sound and dialogue went.

I don't live in Vancouver but it's the easiest high quality cinema for me to get to.
