Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

PZ is set in 1993 though. And for some reason their 1993 does not have bicycles.
a bicycle mod literally just came out a week or so ago
There's always been one. It's not a completely integrated experience though.
There's been a mod that adds motorcycles and ATVs too but it's clunky. I haven't bothered to test the new versions but it used to be that you could only get on and off the bike from one side
No idea if build 42 has bikes in them yet, but with all the work they're putting into the game I can imagine that they're eventually going to put in different forms of transportation.
Bikes, skateboards and motor cycles have already been modded in but official support would always be nice.
In writing this comment I thought about with the new metalworking and smiting coming in, building a handcar for railroad tracks would be awesome and would put use to the basically useless railway system they have on the map now.
B42 is sadly going in the wrong direction currently. It's addressing a lot of early and mid game stuff that allows you to basically just fuck off into the woods. But end game is still dull.
Yea true, not going to say you're wrong but I feel like they're making the bones of the game really solid and from there, branching out. The basements and the high rise buildings are going to be crazy imo, and the new skill tree and class reworks are going to give it a solid foundation, not to mention overhauling how weapons shoot. Them adding in NPCs is also a step in the right direction for making the game more interactive.
Let's hope the can pad out the end game. Because like you said it's kind of dull after a certain point. But I feel like with any sandbox game, you have to make your own goals and fun - and those experiences are always better with friends.
I do think they have the right ideas, it's just a matter of time and implementation.
Just gotta find a server with one of the mods...

The best part of PZ modding is how little you have to do. Boot the regular game and click multiplayer and just join a modded server. The game will download, install, and apply a few hundred mods without you doing anything.
