[filthy clothing] adds a level of decision making in the early game: do I use this cool zombie loot armour because I need armour, or do I reject it because it's disgusting and dirty.

I'd say it's never worth it, since it gives you disease. It doesn't matter how well armored you are if you have influenza.

I will sometimes wear filthy gear such as a backpack (if it is the only one I've found) or fireman's turnout gear if I need the protection but I only do so until I am able to clean it, which is usually very quickly. The trade-off is worth it for short term gains but I don't wear them for long

Yeah I don't see why you'd be obligated to maintain mods that you didn't create and aren't interested in. If someone likes them so much they should pick them up and update/fix them.

I guess that's not gonna be a go any more? That sucks.

I'm pretty sure they'd stay where they are if someone stepped up to maintain them. The point is that the main developers don't want to maintain mods that have been abandoned by their creators or no longer fit with the direction they're taking the game. They don't seem to care if someone else maintains them.

For the 'glowing' you have to ensure you have TWBT on and in the forced redraw mode. type twbt redraw_all 1 into the dfhack window. It makes things made from ethereal blocks and a few other things glow.

Stuff like this is why I always give console to PC ports a month or two before even thinking of touching them. I am very excited about iceborne but it will all be there when I get it later and I hopefully won't hit the same bugs. I really enjoyed MHW much more than I expected I would, I only picked it up because it was on deep sale one day. I've never really liked any of the souls-like games, not that this is super comparable, but I really enjoyed MHW. Never played any of the prior MH games either.

Once I do pick it up in a few months I'll ping here and see who is still playing, we can team up

Congratulations! I didn't have the patience for this game's style of gameplay. I can understand the appeal of figuring out clues and advancing, but the level to which everything is made vague and deliberately obtuse to add a layer of difficulty turned me off from it. I admire that you were able to stick it out to handle such a complex achievement.

It's really not so bad once you put some time in. The game encourages experimentation to discover things but it does give you hints along the way. Like rituals, you have no idea what to put in but the game will subtly guide you with hints if you start putting different aspects in. You can also get some clues if you carefully read the descriptive texts of some books, locations, item, etc. My very first minor victory was just to retire with a nice senior position at G&G and leave all the cult nonsense behind, heh.

Once you figure out a good steady stream of income you have a lot of time to mess about and explore the lore. If that is too slow for you, you can always look some things up.

forsaken, I found that to be quite hilarious. I noticed the AI broke roughly here:

It looks like it expected a quote and got an action instead. That or somehow cthulhu was inside the tower.

Yeah, I saved right there because of that weird response. It went downhill pretty fast but it still remembered the doctor and I'm apparently very special.

Edit: Yes, if you're seeding you are helping. When it goes to download the files now it starts a torrent download rather than the old method of sending data through google's cloud which was costing them something like 10k a day
