Is Dirt really 'useless'?

juvenalb last edited by

~~Mining~~ Digging for ores gives me lots and lots of sacks of Dirt. But I see no other possible use besides filling terrain elsewhere.

Come on, that is not a useful use! Only a small fraction of all the Dirt I get is needed for filling other places.

Is there any other use for Dirt, or may I keep dropping it to free space in my Inventory and Chests?

According to https://medievalengineerswiki.com/w/Dirt , Dirt has no use in any crafting or building recipes. It is solely used for terrain construction. You can safely drop it.

Dr. Mundo's cleaver does a maximum amount of damage versus neutral monsters, increasing per level. The values are: 300 400 500 600 700 Remember that this is based on current health, which means the second cleaver will always do less than first (if you're not hitting up against the damage limit).

Considering a https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1503751972 exists for adding water, I am guessing there is none in the vanilla game. Also, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_Engineers : set on an unnamed Earth-like planetoid without water The mod itself adds quite a bit: Water Reworked planet Sails Tide system Rudder Rope Ladder Whales Anchor Fishing Wind vane, Ship's bell, Ship's wheel, Hollow boxes, Plank boards More small stuff The mod also links to a https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2203705951 .

By the looks of it, the vanilla game does not have ladders according to https://steamcommunity.com/app/333950/discussions/0/1471967615846949155/ , and a few others such as https://steamcommunity.com/app/333950/discussions/0/1676938384249978624/ . The post links to https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1121540837 that seems to add a type of ladder, but it doesn't look like a straight vertical kind, but a slightly angled one, which I imagine can still be useful.

To get 'Man That's Fast' you need to complete the first campaign in under 12 minutes, including getting every secret and coin. To get 'Man That's Really Fast' you need to complete the second campaign in under 20 minutes, including all coins and secrets.

Win rates don't tell the whole story. As you've seen there are certain tanks which are pretty much overpowered, or rather there are certain tanks which play the way you'd like them to while everything is is pretty much sub par. Each nation of tanks tends to have certain strengths: American tanks tend to be fast, have well armoured turrets, and be accurate with a good rate of fire but low damage German tanks tend to be the most accurate but lack in penetration and damage English tanks tend to be either fast and poorly armoured or slow and reasonable well armourd with very high rate of fire guns but do very little damage French tanks have great guns but lousy armour. Also their low tier tanks are rubbish and their high tier tanks are good Russian tanks have fast, well armoured tanks with big slow guns that have good penetration While that sounds like a pretty balanced set of tanks the game design tends to favour certain aspects over others: Due to the mechanics of the penetration system slope of armour is as important as thickness. Almost all Russian tanks have good sloped armour whereas only some tanks, mostly higher tier from the other nations have good sloped armour Due to the size of the maps (500m x 500m) tanks that are short range brawlers do better than sniping tanks. Most Russian tanks are brawlers rather than snipers whereas the other nations tend to have tanks better suited to sniping Most fighting between tanks is around hard cover using a peekaboo technique. Tanks with a slow rate of fire and high damage are preferable. Most Russian tanks have a low rate of fire with high damage whereas most other nations have a high rate of fire with lower damage You gain experience and credits mostly via damage done. Tanks that do more damage per shot are better for this. Again Russian tanks favour this aspect There are a number of factors that are have no representation within the game like the comfort of tanks, quality of crew training, reliability, communications, quality of materials, and so on. This tends to favour the Russian tanks as well So, put simply, there is no obvious Russian bias, but adding together many small factors does show that Russian tanks are the best suited to the game design overall.

No, I don't think there is any way to grow grass except for using grass next to it. It's all according to this: http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Grass_Block

Do pikmin still "flower" when left in the dirt?

Pikmin will still grow when left in the dirt, but the time do so appears to randomized, but decreases as the number of Pikmin planted in the dirt grows. To test this I planted a Yellow Pikmin at the start of the day in the Garden of Hope. I checked the Pikmin sprout consistently throughout the day for any growth. At mid-day the Pikmin sprouted into a bud. The day ended before the Pikmin could sprout into a flower. The following day, however, I noticed that several Pikmin I had planted had flowered before I reached the end of the day. I paid close attention to the growth patterns of my Pikmin for the following days and even when multiple Pikmin were planted at the same time they still would flower at different times. However, as the number of Pikmin planted increased the time it took for Pikmin to flower appeared to decrease. A guaranteed way of Flowering Pikmin is to leave them in the dirt overnight. Any Pikmin left in the dirt overnight will have turned into Flower Pikmin the following morning. I haven't done any testing of this per say, but can confirm through my own in-game experiences. Another way to flower Pikmin is by using Ultra Spicy Spray. Using the spray will immediately turn all the Pikmin in you squad into Flower Pikmin. Yellowed Pikmin will also be converted to flowers when used to repair broken wires. Finally, having Pikmin drink nectar will also convert them to flower Pikmin (although nectar appears to be considerable more rare than in the previous games).

Yes, but not all the time. It will never be a factor until you put a heavy attachment on, but improper weight distribution can literally lift your tires off the ground. Certain vehicles are heavy enough that this is not a problem, but the smaller tractors, with the larger attachments, will tip backwards or forwards. I believe I personally ran into this when, in FS15, i put an upgraded fertilizer attachment on the back of the basic, free tractor they give you when you start. Edit: I found some forum posts that talk about it happening a bit, and there are some mods (linked to in the post) that help with weight issues. However, I found a screenshot of it happening, to a somewhat extreme degree:

You might be looking in the wrong place. You can find ores by looking at places which have odd-colored grass.

The stealth system in Skyrim doesn't matter much about what you hear, but what the AI hears. When you are in heavy armor you are much louder and AI detects you at a longer distance than if you were in just cloth. Muffle decreases this detection distance as the other questions you linked explain.

Well, if you play Fallout 3 for its story and characters, it sure is worth playing again. Many quests have different outcomes relative to your choices, and your relation to other characters will not be the same if you are evil. And you can do fun things in Megaton, one of the first towns of the game

This https://steamcommunity.com/app/333950/discussions/0/2592234299547126328/ has a reply from the developers stating that is primarily for multiplayer only. it's mostly for multiplayer gameplay, if you pay the taxes (at the claim block) it protects all creations (house/castle) in your area. Aside from this, reading over the https://medievalengineerswiki.com/w/Claim_Block doesn't seem to indicate anything useful for singleplayer.

The key to performing tight turns in any aeroplane is to reduce your speed. This will reduce the distance your plane must travel to turn. This technique is essential to effective dogfighting. Hope this helps.

Yes, using 2 Wheels per Catch Block: Just don't look like a Minecart due to the size of its Wheels and of the rails (Round Timbers)... Real Minecarts would be welcome here.
