I built a puppy farm next to the mental asylum but the puppies keep dying, what did I do wrong?
I'm not sure it ever really ended.
Much like the continued fascination with zombies (which are a metaphor for total social collapse, complete with starving mobs that are 100% morally okay to shoot in the head).
Or plants vs. zombies!
... my point being that we'll probably keep telling stories and making games about zombies until we either feel "safe" again, or society really does collapse and the whole thing becomes moot/redundant/too "real".
The mines in the desert are a bit more end-gamey and are mostly just far more random. It's that way by design: less curated, more focus on forcing you to either push your luck or run away with suboptimal rewards.
That's odd. You shouldn't be able to get into the Skeleton Mine (the one in the desert) until after you complete the entire first mine. The key is on the bottom floor. Trying to remember if maybe it was different in an earlier patch.
But yeah, that second mine is meant to be *much* harder. It's randomized and you start at the first floor every day, but you get better rewards the deeper you go. A lot of players will collect huge amounts of stone and just craft stairs to get to the bottom.
And then there's the Volcano Mines that got added even later...
(We've already got one in the genre.)
Every time I get sick of the modern world I remember what it smelled like to drive through farm country and.. No I think I will stick with grocery stores.
Two words: chicken litter.
(And no, were not talking about chickens that throw their trash out the windows.)
We're talking about people who throw their chickens out the windows, right?
You didn't look at the rabbits long enough with your pvp flag enabled.
We're talking about a chair for chickens carried around by a sexy retinue, right?
Plus also adequate space for the livestock. Factory farms suck. Neighbors that keep too many hogs (or other livestock, but man are pigs super pungent) for the size of their pen and pond suck.
I disagree. I think this comic is more about the overall environmental state of the planet rather than just the slice that is agriculture. Especially related to the current forest fires.
And I have to imagine pre-industrial farming smelled much worse than modern farming, they literally used manure as fertilizer back then.
Though perhaps they did not notice as Europeans were... Very late to the whole "bathing" concept so everything smelled bad all the time.
