Q & A

Q: how do you use Shrink?  I shrunk some flags, water tanks, plants, etc.  the resulting items didn't reexpand when I tried to redecorate the settlement, except the flags.

There needs to actually be room for the items -- you might need to knock down some trees in an area to get a water tank there instead.  There are various collision layers, and there has to be room in the collision layer of the particular object type for you to be able to grow it back.

That last is a bug -- would be good to log in mantis if you don't mind.  Thanks!

Ok done, put a picture of it up too.

Thank you!

In other words, unshrink the propane tank first.  Should probably prepare the way.

It's still on my list to make those and the barrels explode when they die.

Combined with shrink...

I can see the press release now, "Hyrule Natural Gas is highly gratified... and somewhat surprised... to have been able to contribute to the liberation of our fair region from the oppressive Ganon..."

Hahahahaha.

Is granite supposed to show up often in "Granite deposits" or are they only for the quarries in your settlement?

Yeah, it should be 100% of the time.

Hang on, I think "Granite deposits" are the world map resources which are only relevant to quarries in your settlements. "Granite outcroppings" are found in caves and can be destroyed by your character, yielding a 1 granite drop with 100% probability.

Oh, yeah, I had a misunderstanding there, then -- the two things are utterly unrelated in that case, yes.

Q: is it intentional that your platforms block spells but preplaced ones do not?

I'm not able to duplicate.  Are you saying that they are able to get killed by spells?  That is intentional.  But I can fire fireballs and such right past them with no trouble...

Q: Why does the fantasy world of Environ contain a 'Colorado Blue Spruce'? Is that name a leftover from when the story took place in an Earth setting, or something more sinister?

Remember the meanings of "France" and "Belgium" in Hitchhiker's guide?

(not that we actually thought of that at the time)
