I have been playing this game for a while now, and after losing track in one of my saves, I decided to try some mods. Boy was that a good choice.

Big thanks to all the mod's authors, especially xpazeman for hosting the mod list website from where I found them.

These are the mods which I've found fantastic to use, along with a short description: ::: spoiler spoiler

• Ambient Lights: tweaked lighting, useful indoors mostly so you can see at night better
• Camping Tools: a lot of items for.. camping
• Fire Pack: new tools for starting fires
• Indoors Greenery: farm plants indoors!
• BetterBases: reorganize any interior to your heart's content
• Crafting Revisions: improved crafting UI
• Developer console: saving the game quickly if I have to leave (and definitely not cheats..)
• PlacingAnywhere: adds very powerful functionality while moving items
• QoL: UI keyboard control, highly useful
• Things To Do: API for programming custom actions in UI, includes getting paper from books, unloading lanterns for fuel, crudely repair items without tools, etc :::

These mods also require the following dependencies: ::: spoiler spoiler ModData, ExamineActionsAPI, GearSpawner, KeyboardUtilities, LocalizationUtilities, ModComponent, ModSettings, :::

Video notes

Clay is just dirt. Clay can be found in the cracked soil texture or on tire tread tracks.

If the harvested clay is gritty (full of rocks and other impurities) it can be filtered through a regular strainer screen after adding water. After settling for an hour, decant and move into cloth and let dry.

Good clay can be dry processed by just gently pound into powder.

Levigation is continuous decanting after adding water until left with good clay. The resulting good clay can then be left to dry in a trough, for example.

All clay shrinks when it dries, so it needs temper added, which is non plastic material practically: crushed up pottery (clay after firing), volcanic ash or just sand, most common. A good mix is around 20% temper.

A bunch of handy survival guides I found online. Some are not necessarily related to living off the grid, but useful nonetheless.

A useful resource for living OffTheGrid. I especially like the greywater section which I hope to implement in my homestead.

Hello everyone.

I recently learned on this very community about SOTA and immediately fell in love with the concept because it combined my two favorite things: hiking and technology/radio. Problem is, I don't actuatlly have any formal knowledge or qualification, but I would very much like to start learning.

I don't know the exact laws about ham radio in my country (Romania) but I will look them up if that helps.

Thank you in advance for anything.

This game makes me want to live in a hut near a stream in the winter and just plop logs on the fire, listening to that crackling sound and wondering how I'm gonna survive tomorrow. Life seems so simple when you're away from everything and your only worry is what you're gonna eat for breakfast. It just makes me get away from it all.

I feel so good. I can dance whenever I want to now. I can cheer up my team in a split second. I can kick off a massive dance party on 2fort (and other maps) whenever I just press G and 1. Amazing

Just realized you can get some pretty interesting designs when you mirror the Outsider's Mark. Here are a few variations:
