*** Now, once it has seeded one such stack of special items in a stash, it instead seeds enchant containers where it would have seeded duplicates previously.
Would that count for upgrade stones too? Because I don't want it to count for upgrade stones.

Those aren't special items to a region.  I'm talking about heat suits, snowsuits, and a few other things that vary specifically by region.  It doesn't affect much, just the stuff you mostly don't want dupes of anyhow.

Coming up:

* Moderate inner light stash changes:
** Settlements now include a moderate inner light enchant that players can pick up under the same multiplayer rules that this worked in stash rooms.
*** In place of moderate inner light enchants, the stash rooms now will seed enchant containers instead (it was not previously possible to get enchant containers inside of stash rooms).
** In each region, there are some specialized items (snowsuits, heatsuits, etc) that can show up in their stash rooms.  Previously, the game could add as many of these per stash room as it might randomly decide to do.
*** Now, once it has seeded one such stack of special items in a stash, it instead seeds enchant containers where it would have seeded duplicates previously.

The effect was somewhat diminished by the pop-tarts commercial inserted beforehand by youtube, but yes, I agree :)

Upon returning to my previously upgraded Glyph Bearer in the settlement, he spoke to me. Not about how oppressive R2-C3PO-D2 is, but about his former life.

I both hate and love you guys  :D

Sounds like another good refrigerator magnet to me! ;)

I've been waiting for someone to come across that little easter egg. :)

I stopped using one on Youtube after I realized that the people I actively like and follow on Youtube get their income from ads. I block them, they get no monies. No monies, no more shows. No more shows, me sad puppy.

My desire for TB and the Yogscast to get paid is unfortunately not quite as high as my desire not to have unskippable 30 second ads in my face. I click 'like' on all their videos and tell myself I'm helping somehow. At least they're still getting my view numbers!

What did he say, "I used to be a glyphbearer but then I took an arrow to the knee"?

But otherwise, you're quite close.

I'm going to guess I don't need to mention how I feel about this change.

I'm liking the new stash rooms. Much more rewarding to go for those over the other rooms now.

However, I must also say that I just came across one with three moderate inner light enchants in it. I believe my personal enmity for moderate inner light enchants is probably a matter of public record right now, so I will try to restrain myself, and just say AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

Edit: The next one had two more. You're doing this on purpose somehow, right? Somewhere, on some internal dev changelog, there's a hidden patch note that says * Added even more moderate inner light enchants which only appear on Bob's computer.




:)   Of course.

It seems the graphics have changed suddenly?  Perhaps the last one or two updates? They seem more subdued, I like the change, very nice and seems more reaslistic, even when there are floating bits of ground in the air.  :)

Looking Good!!!!!
