Found the 'scrap engine' on my third run.
That was fun, got through to the factory level and then some more before the inevitable YASD

Oh hey martinuzz! Heh, the Scrap Engine is pretty chaotic and leads to all sorts of weird and fun stuff. It can get super powerful later on, but it really helps to know how to coax it to do what you want. Right now it's not integrated into the plot yet, just dropped onto the floor for you on finding that map, but when the next new expansion is released it'll have a more proper introduction, and also a little manual (currently players just share the main tips on the Discord).

Also is it just me or is Bay 12 not sending out notification emails??? I doubt that, but I've always had email notifications set, don't have it blocked or filtered in my gmail account, and there's never anything in my spam, I just don't get B12 emails at all... Always used to work for like 10 years, then suddenly stopped working I'm not sure when, some time in the past few months? Pretty annoying not getting those :/

Oh yeah, I remember some other people mentioning that issue. I've never used email notifications myself, but apparently they're broken for everyone now.

We might be able to coax toady into looking into it if you email him or something. It's a bit of a blessing and a curse that this forum's only admin is so busy with game development.

[Kyzrati]

Oh dang, broken for everyone... well that sucks xD. Thanks for letting me know, I was going to find some time to look around and see if anyone else had mentioned it, though was also thinking surely toady must have someone helping him with admin duties on such a large forum, so imagined it was probably just a me thing at this point...

I'd send him a note, but I don't want to bug the guy about this when he's got other more important things to do. I know how much I hate doing my own web maintenance when I'm supposed to be working on my game xD (email being down sucks, but web dev sucks even more!)

Latest mockups are in for the new modal UI which will enable an option to upscale everything in exchange for seeing less at once: Full UI Upscaling, Part 2: Holy Mockups! It's a comin'...

SITREP Saturday #53: "Full UI Upscaling" - Last time I added map zooming, but what if you didn't need to zoom in because *EVERYTHING* is larger?!

[Egan_BW]

great, I love not getting eyestrain from attempting to read my inventory~

[Kyzrati]

Yesterday did a live demo/playtesting of the first new upscaled UI layout which is mostly complete!

Looks rad. I'll definitely be booting a new game up.
