I'm also working on a game for the 7DRL!

My progress has been smooth, but not fast, so I'm also not sure of the odds of submitting a completed project.

I'm trying to play Outer Worlds on Windows 10, but I'm having this issue (not my post) - everything other than the sky is washed-out yellow and white.
The only solution someone has suggested is disabling Auto HDR, but my monitor can't support HDR at all and there are no options to disable Auto HDR, so that can't be it. I've updated all graphics drivers, etc.

Any suggestions?

Hmm, the "always download [type]" and "choose where to download" settings in Firefox actually don't work. Behavior does not match stated function.

Underflows are overflows, bitwise. They are the same.

And wow, if DF had mouse support before now it must have been longer since I last played than I realized.

You could paint designations and burrows for as long as I've been playing (since late 2012.) Options were free painting or clicking two corners.


Designations could only be free-painted with the mouse, could not pick two corners with the mouse.

Could be wrong, but it doesn't look like the sizable new interest in DF from the steam release has translated into anything near a sizable amount of new forum dwellers or interest in the forum.

I'll go look at the actual numbers in a moment.

I don't even think most of them even know that the forum exists. The new players ask their questions on DF subreddit and get their news from the Steam page. They are automatically funneled to those places, and have no need to seek anywhere else.

Yeah, there is a reason why forumites are an endangered species of netizen.

There's also the Kitfox discord, which as useful as it is means people's first resource for questions or talking about their forts is the discord.

Yeah I gave up, as it can't be done. May as well be wishing for a stockpile for worn clothing or something.

You can do that.
Set a refuse stockpile, which accepts worn clothing, to only accept clothing. This will degrade the clothes further over time, so set the refuse pile to give to a clothing-only stockpile that only takes from links.

I don't remember all the quality options for piles, so you might be able to just make a clothing pile and set the qualities to various amounts of wear and tear.

I'm trying to figure out what things take up the most space on my hard drive, to prioritize moving them to another drive. I can't use Windows 10 storage menu in settings to view this, since it reports obviously incorrect values (such as 707GB for a small app on my 512GB drive.) How can I find out what takes up the most space? Ideally without installing another piece of software.
