  • I think it’s fun how Zeug has gone from a technical meaning to a cute one.

    The current meaning of Zeug is something like stuff or unimportant things.

    It used to mean kit, gear or equipment though, which makes a lot of sense and is still visible in words like Zeugwart (equipment manager of a sports team or army).

    With that knowledge, Werkzeug would just be a tool kit.



  • Cool! I think on spring 16th Pam is a festival attendee and thus doesn’t drive the bus. She’ll leave a sign in front of it and you should be able to drive it yourself any time of the day! The same should also be possible when she’s selected as a vendor (random chance). You can also buy desert totems at the desert trader for 3 omni geodes. :)

    In my first year at the festival, I forgot my bombs and stairs for the caverns. This year, I had them and even had an extra lucky day, but forgot that I had Mr. Qi’s quest “Skull Cavern Invasion” on. 😅 So I didn’t get too far either.

    In the end though, I’m not too sure what to do with all the eggs anyway except buy the one magic rock candy, as I’m not a huge decorator.


  • Personally, I turn to activism. I realized that regardless of how horrible the future will be, there’s good to do in this world.

    The world is full of people who are as scared as you and I are. I can make their lives a tad more positive.

    The environment is collapsing? Educate and organise, think about how to build mutual aid systems and how to sustain yourself small scale.

    The economy will crash? Help others, people who got thrown to the curb by the social system, homeless people, orphans,…

    Civil rights are ending? I’m trans and scared. And there’s so many other trans children that are counting on me to be the representation that I wish would have had when I was their age. I’m not going down without a fight.

    Democracy is ending? Let’s focus on preserving what we can and try to rebuild. It won’t be over forever.

    People being nice to and helping me often makes my day in an otherwise miserable time.I want to be that person for others.



  • It’s slow. I’m in spring Y2 and still struggling quite a bit with money. I’ve expanded the farming space, so hoping it picks up soon. I also don’t have the greenhouse yet, because I didn’t for the sake of it find a damn summer squash last summer for the remixed bundle. I found so many carrot seeds in spring Y1 that I didn’t worry about it until I noticed on like summer 12th. I scoured the map every single day and didn’t find a damn seed spot. I know that on the 9th there’s always one in the backwoods…

    I had an auto-petter though in one of my first treasure rooms by sheer luck!

    I kegged up over the winter and II just packed it with my first huge harvest of rhubarb. I want to invest in more hogs probably to actually make some use of the meadowlands farm (and the petter).


  • I spent my first day exploring and trying some of the quests. I did Willy’s fishing quest and the race. I used the shady guy to cheat and I’m not sure what effect it had, but I won. I also got a new outfit from Sandy (I actually love it!)

    Then I got some food at the chef’s booth and went into the Skull Caverns completely unprepared, no bombs, food or stairs and I only got to level 15.

    I collected around 120 eggs that day and am planning to be better prepared tomorrow.

    I was thinking about buying magic rock candy, possibly two if I have enough eggs. Any recommendations?
