I love fortifying areas/building castles digging ditches etc. I've played the stronghold games of course, and would love other games like this! I would love a game where I can build a fort and defend it from attacks! II would love to focus on the fort design part as opposed to more settlement management. I trjed rimworld but it focused too much on the colonists for me. Any help is much appreciated!

Title really, any advice is much appreciated!
I’ve been looking for a place to get decent sized square bar of carbon steel (25*25mm) for a small tomahawk. However I cannot find any. Where does everyone else get their steel? I can’t use mild steel for the body because my forge doesn’t get hot enough to forge weld
So I don't have a belt sander, and when I got a bench grinder with a belt off facebook marketplace, it broke almost immediately, which is gonna take me a while to fix. I can put smaller bevels in with a file, but getting bevels that go all the way to near the spine is driving me mad. I normally forge the bevels in, but I find it really hard to get a nice plunge line. I'd love one of those big wheels that you spin with your foot, but it seems like my only choice at this point is make a gough jig. I really want to make diamond profile blades but its quite hard to do lol. Any help is much appreciated!
I’ve been killed as a baby by one too many full grown allos and I am looking for revenge. I have a full grown prime trike but he’s a bit slow to chase them down. Pachy is a bit small to take them down. What’s the best dino I can use for this?
Apologies if this is a dumb question. From what I have gathered, trench raiders would head across no mans land under cover of darkness to kill/ capture enemy combatants. They expected to engage the enemy at close quaters, hence the use of melee weapons. The bit that is confusing me, is that WW1 trenches were both interlinked and (generally) well manned. How did they sneak in to take out an area of the line if that section of the line is closely bordered by more enemy troops? They wouldn't know the boundaries between enemy units to exploit them, so beyond absolute perfect silence how did they ever have any level of success? What am I missing?
I’m switching to trike from Pachy. What do I do while they’re growing?? They take so long!! I went to do something for 15 minutes and the hunger bar had barely gone down and he’d grown like 2%? Am I doing this wrong?
I know they’re not as good as the rest of the stuff people post here but the one one the right (my most recent one) is easily the best knife Ive made so far! Managed to get the edge thickness consistent across the blade when I forged it, which made it wayyy easier to finish! It’s also the first time I’ve tried forging fully to shape, forging in both the bevels and the point! I have access to a bench grinder with a belt now so hopefully my next one will look better!
I can join if I use mobile data, but if I use my wifi I cannot join? What's happened with this?
Basically the title really, I’m not sure which is better! So far I normally grind in bevels for my double edged knives and forge in for the single edge ones. Nothing I make looks great they’re all just functional, i was just wondering which one is better/helps me make better knives!
At the moment what I make can best be described as post apolocyptic/early medieval style village blacksmith - it works, it doesn't look pretty. I'm making a couple of swords at the moment. So far, they look VERY basic, like flat slabs of steel with an edge. They handle great, genuinely move better than my HEMA sword so far, but look very plain. There is a very shallow fuller on them but the only power tool I have is an angle grinder which makes it hard to do that (or I'm just doing it wrong, any help is much appreciated with this). How do I move past the janky looking stage?? i know getting a belt sander would help sharpen the bevels and make them consistent, at the moment I'm to freehanding it with a flap sander disk. I realise this is also probably a case of " a bad workman blames his tools" but I genuinely am not sure how to make them look nicer. Putting a good bevel on free hand seems SO hard! Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks for tagging along! I hope we bought enough time for you to get away from the allo pack! I died too early to see if you made it but I hope you did!
I know we don’t have many hills but I thought it looked fun! I was wondering because I want to start and I’d probably need some help lol
I haven't been able to find any in depth books that focus just on fortifications. I'm interested in the burhs of Alfred the great and any and all fortifications in the saxon era, Napoleonic Forts and the trenches of WW1! I'm looking at mostly the uk/western europe! I've been really struggling to find any in depth books on any of these! Any help on this is much appreciated!
I’ve been reading a lot about the burhs and forts of the Saxon/Viking wars of the late 9th/early 10th centuries. When they’ve been talking about palisades I’ve been viewing them as looking like the wall in the video above, though if this is wrong I would welcome any corrections! What I was wondering is is there any actual siege craft thay goes into taking a fortified settlement in this era? Obviously Roman style artillery isn’t a factor as much, and the walls are fairly simple, but beyond sit outside and wait it still feels like with their limited access to siege weapons it feels like it’s a toss up between wait for them to starve and bum rush the walls. Any insight into this and anything to do with Anglo Saxon fortifications is much appreciated as there is not much I can find anywhere!
I’ve been playing a lot of the Isle recently and I’ve been absolutely loving it. I started playing that as a way to relax from playing dirt 2. My issue is at the moment when I’ve logged off the Isle, but don’t feel like hyperfocusing on dirt 2, I have nothing dinosaury to play. I’ve loved watching the play throughs on YouTube, I love games where you can build in little details, like scriptorium which I really enjoy.
The reason I’m hesitating is because I have never played a game like it before, and I ended up dropping rimworld because I got frustrated. I don’t know how similar they are but that’s the closest I’ve got. What I’m really hoping for is a game where I can pour hours into designing and building a park, and putting in loads of little details. Also being able to walk around your own park looks cool. Is it worth getting?
They’re my favourite I love them but I have no idea how the bacteria mechanic works! All I do is run around eating dead stuff, which is honestly my favourite but like I should probably do other stuff. What are some tips for playing ceratosaurus ?
I’ve been using a big water bucket for some things, a tiny bucket of oil for some of my small knives. However, I’ve started making much bigger blades recently that I need to quench in oil. I don’t think using a giant bucket of oil is a good idea because getting one long enough I’d need loads of oil also I don’t think I could find one tall enough. What does everyone else use for quench tanks? Could I just use some old guttering? I can’t weld so I can’t make one out of metal. Any help is much appreciated!
