Fun fact, this game is part of the school curriculum in Polish.

Waiting on mods to update before I dive back in. Most of the major ones already have.

There are some that are just hard to live without. Eg Primitive Survival, Gimme one Seed please, Soil must Fall etc.

This is the mantra of the family I married to. Sometimes a little too much.

Still love them though:)

The bowing is a Easter Egg of sorts. There should have been a large sculpture set nearby. If you Bow to the frog one, you get covered in hopping green frogs (purely cosmetic, goes away after a bit). There are multiple such frog (and other animal) statues.

Fair ppint. Never that humid here though, except during cool rains, so I didn’t even realise.

Whrere I live, temps go in the 40-50°C range in the summer (and 60+ in some inland areas). Here is what we do to stay cool.

1. Cool(er) air ventilation Windows open at night, closed past morning, with blinds down when sunlight starts hitting the windows. Ensure that air can circulate through (otherwise, you might actually get heatstroke from how hot the house gets). In cass the heat makes you feel like you cannot breathe, blinds down and windows open (better than suffocating) Also, no joke, get greenhouse green screens, and set them up inverse outside your windows. Instead of trapping heat in, they throw heat out instead. Surprisingly cooling.

2. WATER AND COOLING FOOD! Water is a must, and there are foods that cool you down instead of warming you up. (avoid the later wherever possible!) Examples of cool foods: frozen desserts, lassi (yoghurt water drink, makes you sleepy) etc

3. Fans. Fans everywhere. Doesn’t matter if hot enough that it feels like a hair dryer instead. Evaporation + air is your friend (bonus tip: if you live in a dry zone, get an air cooler. It’s an enclosed fan behind a self contained waterfall. Humid air is particularly cooling. Beware metal cabinets in the same room though. They rust, bad).

4. Baths. Baths are especially cooling. Take at least 2 a day. My cousins, who live inland at 60+ temps, bathes at least 4-5 times a day. Also, their bathrooms all have massive fans :)

5. Clothes. In summer, we wear our thinnest, oldest cotton clothes possible (aka, almost seethrough). We never go out in them, but they sure make the house bearable.

6. Naps and talcum powder. Human body temps naturally decrease when napping. Talcum powder, spread on the hottest parts of the body, absorbs heat and cools you too. The powder gets soaked in sweat and is useless pretty quickly, but combine bath + fan + powder + nap (and probably no undergarments/naked) makes noon bearable to go through. Talcum powder in particular stops rashes from too much sweating, if you have trouble bathing more than twice a day like I do.

Thats about it from me. Hope it helps!

I would call it stradling between F2P and Subscription.

Got 6 months worth of free playtime before I got a sub, at which point I felt more guilty not to.

Speaking as a South Asian and former school teacher, our average salary goes anywhere from ~100$ to ~250$ a month. I can afford about 10=20$ worth of games every year, inflation dependant.

Note that this is in a culture where Piracy is the norm and actually buying games is practically unthinkable. If it weren’t for Steam sales, wanting to support indie devs and not wanting to deal with bugs/cracks and updates for once, I wouldn’t have ever ‘bought’ a game at all.

Same. I could only reddit through Boost.
