Hello, I’m quite new to managing splunk infrastructure and have mostly come from a role where I create queries, dashboards and alerts etc. However our team has now inherited to responsibility of managing the infrastructure too and there has been very little information provided on how to do so.
On our heavy forwarders as an example we are currently storing and receiving Cisco device logs under /opt/rsyslog/cisco/cisco.log for example - these logs are then forwarded onto our indexers with no issues using inputs.conf monitors.
What I’m trying to understand is, where is that rsyslog folder structure defined and how does the heavy forwarder know to place the Cisco logs in that specific directory before forwarding them on or is this done automatically by splunk?

Hi, I know this may be against game policy and may bring criticism. But Monster Life is over soon, so I thought those in hurry of making level 40 farm in MSEA and GMS would NEED this. No meso cubes but meso caps, why play nice...
This is a video of what fully scripted auto care & discharge should look like : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZj9XyKVERM&t=1s . However, I'm not a software engineer or any coding related expert; so, my script i'm sharing is only discharge part (you would either have to find a different or make this better if you want it to be fully automatic like the video)
Credits to 경제분석박사 for sharing this script https://www.inven.co.kboard/maple/2302/15022 loooong ago. I edited my scrlpt based on this. Having said this, I don't take any troubleshooting questions; I'm no expert (if I did it, you 200% can fix it)
So before using this, a few requirements and basics:

1. You need logitech mouse to connect to G HUB
2. You need about 12,000,000 Waru in your Monster Life for fully leveling to 40 (More if you don't have Pharaoh Yeti <- btw always lock this to not mistakenly discharge it)

The basics

1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyg93s_XPdw . watch this video to set up Lua features. I didn't scan and make new profile for Maplestory because when it runs it turns to desktop profile and glitched. So, I recommend using Desktop profile as it is.
2. The OutCount = n (*at 26 now) is how many you want to discharge in one run. Change "n" as per your monsters out
3. You may notice in the scrlpt , there is CarePet function. I used it to hit additional enter after RemovePet function (the discharge), so manually "Auto Take Care" first before using this (buying C-grade box and opening them is also manual)
4. I put the Monster Life in full screen and adjusted the absolute mouse position to click the check box that appear in the center when discharge was clicked. Monster Life is usually 1024 * 768 but if yours is somehow not, then you may need to either adjust screen size or the scrlpt itself "MoveMouseTo(31065, 36865)" <--- it means (x,y) or (left to right, low to high)
5. Hover your mouse cursor to the first monster to be discharge (one right to Pharaoh Yeti) then press 5 (4:08 of the lua intro video)to run it as shown in the photo below

In the lua script code dialog copy the script below and load it
count = 0 -- 조합카운트

Recently, a comment I made under another post (https://www.reddit.com/Piracy/s/OWvN8UNd0e) explaining what apps I use kinda blew up and people really found it useful, so I'm turning it into a proper guide! Here are some apps I think you all could find useful:
Getting apps
F-droid: the alternative to the play store, it needs extra repositories to unlock its full potential. I'd recommend adding at least IzzyOnDroid, Guardian Project and Newpipe's repositories, but there are more. Many apps from the rest of this list come from f-droid.
Obtainium: an app that allows you to get updates for your other app from any source, including github and f-droid. The only thing I don't like about it is that you can't easily discover new apps from there, otherwise I'd immediately get rid of f-droid lol
Mobilism: where you can get all the modded apps you want
Lucky Patcher: lets you patch your apps yourself, only recommended for experienced users
Honourable mentions: droid-ify, a client for f-droid; aurora store, it allows you to download stuff from the play store without logging in; apkmirror, where you can get clean .apk files for most apps
Media
Aniyomi: manga, comics, anime, movies, tv series, everything in a single app. I can't recommend it enough.
Cloudstream: alternative to Aniyomi, doesn't have manga/comics and it's more focused around western movies and series.
ReVanced: if I have to explain it to you, you're the most inexperienced pirate sailing the seas of android. It's the way to use youtube without ads and with a ton of extra features. It needs an external app for downloads, I'd recommend either newpipe or seal. Oh, and they also have patches for other apps like twitter, not just youtube!
PurpleTV: twitch client with adblocking and extra emotes
Seal: downloading stuff from pretty much everywhere
Honourable mentions: any fork of tachiyomi for mangas and comics works; there are some unofficial forks of revanced (like revanced extended), I haven't tried any of them though so idk if they're safe and/or worth it; newpipe and grayjay as youtube alternatives; tubemate, an alternative youtube downloader
Music
Spotify: the default way to listen to music for most people. There are 5000 modded versions of it, so just pick one
Musicolet: the GOAT of offline music players, it's free and it's the best one I've ever tried
Automatic Tag Editor (Automatag): edit tags (artist, name, album art, etc) of your music
SongSync: add lyrics to your downloaded music through .lrc files (only works if supported by the music player)
Honourable mentions: fildo, an alternative to cracked Spotify that I only use to download stuff in FLAC
Browser
Just use firefox with a truckload of add-ons, it's the best. Brave is ok too I guess, and Tor might be useful sometimes, but just use firefox.
Utility
MiXplorer: the best file manager in existence, period. Takes a while to set it up, but it's worth it, trust me.
Hypatia: antivirus. Not necessary, but doesn't hurt either.
FolderSync: lets you sync folders between devices and with cloud services. Extremely useful for backups and file sharing
Syncthing: sync folders between your device without needing to use cloud services, alternative to FolderSync
Aegis: authenticator app for 2FA, safer alternative to Google Authenticator
KeePassDX or Bitwarden: password managers. Both have their pros and cons, personally I use keepass but most people suggest self-hosted bitwarden. Just look into them and decide yourself.
AdAway: adblocker. There are other options that are just as valid, no reason to pick this one in particular.
Notesnook: encrypted notes with automatic backups and syncing between devices
AntennaPod: where I get my podcasts from
Proton: free VPN, not for torrenting tho.
OpenWeather: weather app
Honourable mentions: MEGA: the goat of clouds; AccuBattery: info about your battery's health; Calyx VPN or RiseUp VPN are alternatives to Proton... If you trust them; modded Picsart is the best picture editor; I didn't mention any torrenting app because I don't torrent stuff on my phone, feel free to suggest them in the comments!
Sources: years of fucking around and finding out, and FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH

That's pretty stupid.
What I mean is you can't reference someone elses statement like by saying "I actually agree with u/'s statement earlier"...
...such a mention will automatically be removed, and you will have no idea it's happened unless you log out and happen chance up this information.
So basically AustralianPolitics self-sabotages discussions by shadow-removing some comments. That's stupid.

Logged in and saw the following App Platform update to pricing. Didn't know they were updating it and now am worried I'll get hit with an overage. Anyone know how to check the outbound bandwith used? The Insights tab shows a graph but thats not exact

We are excited to announce changes to App Platform's pricing that will help reduce costs and simplify the experience. 🎉

WHAT'S CHANGING?

• Increased outbound bandwidth allowance which will reduce bandwidth overage fees by 80%
• New dedicated instance plans at 35% lower prices
• More flexibility when choosing instance sizes with removal of app pricing tiers

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:

Bandwidth allowance changes went into effect on May 1st. App pricing tiers have been removed and new plans were be added. You can remain on your current instance plan or select a new plan for existing app resources. Price changes will apply automatically to new app resources. If you have any questions, please contact support.

1. Install Pi-hole and Assign a Static IP

• Install Pi-hole: Follow the official installation guide from Pi-hole’s website.
• Assign a Static IP: During installation, Pi-hole will prompt you to set a static IP. Ensure this IP is within your network's range and not conflicting with other devices.

2. Access the Pi-hole Web Interface

• Open a browser and navigate to http:///admin.
• Log in using the password provided during installation or configured later.

3. Configure DHCP Settings in Pi-hole

• Navigate to DHCP Settings: Go to Settings -> DHCP.
• Enable DHCP Server: Check the box to enable the DHCP server.
• Enter Router IP and IP Range:
  • Router IP Address: Enter your router's IP address.
  • IP Range: Copy the DHCP range from your router settings and enter it here. For example, if your router's DHCP range is 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254, enter the same range.

4. Advanced DHCP Settings

• Enable DHCPv4 Rapid Commit: Check the box for "Enable DHCPv4 rapid commit (fast address assignment)".
• Enable IPv6 Support: Check the box for "Enable IPv6 support (SLAAC + RA)".

5. Set Static DHCP Leases

• Navigate to DHCP Leases: Scroll down to the "Static DHCP Leases Configuration".
• Add Static Lease for Router:
  • Static MAC Address of Router: Enter the STATIC MAC address of your router. This information is typically found in your router's settings or on a label on the device. This step is crucial to ensure your router consistently gets the same IP address.
  • STATIC IP Address of Router: Enter the IP address of your router. Using the static IP of your router here is essential for proper network configuration.
  • You can also enter the normal (dynamic) IP of your router to be thorough. (Just to be safe)
  • Static IP of Pi-hole: Also add the static IP of your Pi-hole to ensure it remains consistent. (Just to be safe)
• Click the + button to add the entry and then Save.

6. Configure DNS Settings in Pi-hole

• Navigate to DNS Settings: Go to Settings -> DNS.
• Upstream DNS Servers:
  • Add the static IP address of your router as one of the upstream DNS servers. It is very important to use the static IP of your router here to ensure reliable DNS resolution.
  • You may also add the static IP of your Pi-hole (this is optional, but can be done if needed). (Just to be safe)
  • You may also add other DNS servers (e.g., Google DNS, OpenDNS) if needed.
• Check the relevant boxes to enable these servers.
• Conditional Forwarding (optional):
  • If you want to resolve local hostnames, enable conditional forwarding.
  • Enter your router’s IP and local domain name.

7. Restart Pi-hole or DHCP Server

• Restart Pi-hole: Restart the Pi-hole device to ensure it recognizes and applies the new settings. You can do this through the Pi-hole web interface or by rebooting the device.
• Restart DHCP Server:
  • Router DHCP Server: Temporarily disable and then re-enable the DHCP server on your router. This action forces the router to recognize the Pi-hole as the DHCP server. Do not permanently disable it yet; just turn it off and then back on until it recognizes the Pi-hole.
  • Pi-hole DHCP Server: Ensure the Pi-hole DHCP server is enabled and running.

8. Finalizing Configuration

• Double-check all entries for accuracy.
• Click Save to apply the settings.

Verification and Troubleshooting

1. Restart Devices: Restart your router and any connected devices to ensure they receive the new DHCP settings.
2. Check Pi-hole Logs: Look at the Pi-hole query logs to confirm that DNS requests are being routed through Pi-hole.
3. Test Connectivity: Ensure internet connectivity on all devices. Use nslookup or dig to verify that DNS queries are being handled by Pi-hole.

Notes

• Leave Router DHCP Enabled Initially: Leave the DHCP server on the router enabled initially. Temporarily disable and re-enable it to ensure it recognizes the Pi-hole.
• Static IP and MAC Address Importance: Keeping Pi-hole’s IP static and ensuring the router’s Static and IP MAC address is correctly entered are crucial steps. These ensure that the router consistently gets the same IP address and that DNS resolution remains reliable.
• Permanently Disable Router DHCP (Optional): Once Pi-hole is recognized as the DHCP server and everything is working correctly, you can consider permanently disabling the DHCP server on your router to avoid conflicts.
• Include Normal IP of Router: You can also enter the normal (dynamic) IP of your router in the Static DHCP leases configuration settings. Maybe very important to get the PI even working on your Router (You see it green in the Queries after some time) (Just to be safe)
• Or easy, just buy a router with DNS Options (Asus, etc...)

Only important if you dont know what static and dynamic Router address are otherwise ignore it:

Edit : Static MAC and IP of the router : If you're confused about what I mean by static and dynamic IP, MAC addresses of the router...:

In your router's network settings, you'll likely find an option to view your Static IP for the Router. Additionally, there will be a STATIC MAC address associated with its STATIC IP, which is different from the dynamically assigned IP and MAC of the Router.
The IP address of the static assignment is usually longer and unique for each router (STATIC). It's crucial to use this specific STATIC MAC address and STATIC IP OF THE ROUTER when configuring static DHCP leases in Pi-hole, rather than the MAC address associated with the dynamically assigned IP.
This ensures that the router consistently receives the same IP address from Pi-hole. So, instead of using the IP "192.168.0.1", you should use the Static IP of your ROUTER along with its corresponding STATIC MAC address found in your router's settings.
This way, your Pi-hole works automatically on all devices that connect to your WLAN. If you have a second router, you can TRY and SHOULD adding the Pi-hole's static IP to DNS settings; however, typically, all traffic runs through the FIRST router and should be filtered accordingly. Ensure to perform these configurations also on your 2nd Router (if you have one) and on your MAIN router.
Locate Router's Network Settings: Access your router's administration panel through a web browser. Typically, you can do this by entering your router's IP address (usually something like "192.168.0.1") into the address bar. Log in using your router's username and password.

1. Find Static IP for the Router: Look for an option related to network settings or LAN settings. Within this section, you should find an option for finding the Static IP of your router. This static IP address will be used to ensure consistency in network configurations.
2. Identify Static MAC Address: Alongside the static IP address, you'll also find a MAC address associated with it. This MAC address is unique to your router and is used to identify it on the network. Make note of this MAC address as you'll need it later.
3. Configure Static DHCP Lease in Pi-hole: Access the Pi-hole web interface and navigate to the DHCP settings. Find the section for setting static DHCP leases. Here, you'll add an entry for your router.
4. Enter Router's Static MAC and IP: In the static DHCP lease configuration, enter the MAC address you found earlier along with the static IP address assigned to your router. This ensures that your router always receives the same IP address from Pi-hole.
5. Update DNS Settings in Pi-hole: Navigate to the DNS settings in the Pi-hole web interface. Add the static IP address of your router as one of the upstream DNS servers. This ensures reliable DNS resolution for your network.
6. Verify Configuration: Double-check all entries for accuracy. Ensure that you've used the correct static IP address and MAC address for your router.
7. Save Settings and Test: Click save to apply the settings. Restart your Pi-hole device to ensure it recognizes and applies the new settings. You can also restart your router for good measure.

hi, i am still new to Proxmox and am trying to attach a 250 gig drive that i created. its listed under hardware, but it is orange. when i go into the VM and go to disk management, it doesnt show up so i can bring it online and assign a drive letter, here is a copy and paste of the data in the log as it ran the task.

Hello, I was pretty drunk yesterday I had spilt water on my keyboard while at my desk, the keyboard began to press random characters and opened many different applications and etc etc, eventually for some reason the PC Blue Screened, and when booted up after a restart it would say 'Automatic Repair', which I googled and then figured to reset my computer to a previous version of windows or something along those lines, keeping my documents but deleting my files (?).
I've now just been able to log in for first time, and though working fine, I have all my files (apparently) including things like pictures which I can open, however applications (for example steam or spotify) I cannot open and comes up with an error message 'The specified path doesn't exist'. How do i move forward from this point? All my drives are showing up as having the same amount of storage taken up as previously which is impossible since i (think) I just reset it all?
Should I reset everything to nothing and if so how? Can I recover everything to install again in some sort of straightforward way? Do I simply clean up the drives somehow and delete the applications i can't access but keep the documents?
Please help!
Also something that could help to diagnose the situation, when right clicking the bin and pressing properties it appears to show all the space available in my drives correctly (or different to file explorer) ... how?

My friend account was intially hacked or logged in by another user from Facebook, that user kept logging in, kicking my friend out and my friend logging in, kicking him out. Then my friend changed his email, password, also did 2FA authentication as well as unlinked his codm account from facebook. Now he has control over the account password and hacker can't take over his account. The real problem is that the hacker keep on logging in, meaning he didn't have to provide password and automatically log in, kicking out my friend
My friend no 2 said to do a option called "log out from all devices" and we can't find that option.
So how do we kick out the hacker permanently and stop him from logging in?

About three weeks ago, I made some custom anomalies for Rimworld because I like creating things. Now, I come back with a few more ideas I had for this 'Intermediate' level of Anomalies. In addition, this time, I wanted to have a go at making my own research ideas for it, too.
Remember that I'm not a game designer- I just make these for fun, so if its not balanced, I wouldn't mind feedback as to how to balance it. Hope you enjoy!
BIOFERRITE METEOR
'A chunk of Bioferrite has hit the area nearby. Be careful; due to the nature of this material, there's always a chance something might be hiding inside.'

• A Meteorite will hit the area, made entirely of Bioferrite Chunks.
  
• Each chunk yields around 10-20 Bioferrite, and can be between 9-12 chunks.
  
• there is a 50% Chance that a single chunk of the Meteorite is 'Infected'; upon mining about 40% of it, a Basic-Tier Anomaly Entity will burrow its way out, taking a little while to break free before attacking the colony.
  

RESEARCH: Meteor Calling
'Research the ability to manipulate the orbit of the planet itself, dragging any low-hanging meteorite down near the colony.'

• Unlocks the 'Call Meteor' Psychic Ritual.
  
• An hour after the Ritual is completed, a Meteor will land on the map.
  
• The quality of the Ritual determines what kind of resources you'll Summon (Base: 66% Stone Chunks, 33% Actual Resources).
  
• In addition, if the Ritual is particularly potent, there's a chance to Summon a Meteor Shower instead.
  

VOID VULTURE
'A horde of [Number] Void Vultures are attacking the colony! Void Vultures do not seem to care about the colonists- instead, they appear to be going for any unguarded valuables, such as silver. Kill or incapacitate them, or they'll rob you blind!'

• A horde of Void Vultures will attack the Colony. Void Vultures are bird-like quadrupeds with pitch black, dull grey or bone white feather colourings, large hooked beaks and sharp-looking tails.
  
• Unlike a regular Threat, Void Vultures will completely ignore all Colonists. Instead, they'll push through into any area that contains Valuable Items.
  
• What a Void Vulture will try and take is varied. Mostly, they'll take Silver, but can also take other standard resources (such as Steel, Plasteel and Gold), Bioferrite, Shards and Serums.
  
• Some Void Vultures may even attempt to steal Clothing and Statues, or go as far as to uninstall machinery, such as Turrets and Batteries.
  
• As soon as a Void Vulture gets their hands on an item, they'll flee the Colony with it, which causes the colony to lose that item(s) for good.
  
• Void Vulture avoid all conflict. When attacked, they'll ignore their attacker, pushing past them if possible, only attacking if they physically cannot get to their destination without doing so.
  
• If enough Void Vultures are Killed or Incapacitated, the rest of the horde will flee, leaving any valuables they already got to behind.
  

RESEARCH: Anti-Anomaly Equipment
'Learn how to craft Anti-Anomaly Doors, Sirens and Weaponry.'

• Grants access to the following Equipment:
  
• Anti-Anomaly Doors: A door that is twice as strong as a normal door, and cannot be opened by Anomalies (such as the Revenant or Void Vulture).
  
• Anti-Anomaly Siren: Can be installed on a wall, like a Wall Lamp. Anti-Anomaly Sirens let out a blaring sound whenever an Anomaly appears on the map. Certain Anomalies (such as Shamblers, Fleshbeasts and Devourers) despise the sound, and will actively avoid areas within the Siren's range.
  
• Disruptor Pistol: A Standard Pistol, equipped with a Disruptor Flare Pack. Can be used to shoot a Disruptor Flare within its range (3 Uses before reload).
  
• Disruptor Rifle: A Standard Bolt-Action Rifle, equipped with a Disruptor Flare Pack. Can be used to shoot a Disruptor Flare within its range (4 Uses before reload).
  
• Disruptor Shotgun: equipped with a Disruptor Flare Pack. Can be used to shoot a Disruptor Flare within its range (2 Uses before reload). The bullets from the Disruptor Shotgun also briefly Anomalies.
  

UNSTABLE GATEWAY
'A strange, block-shaped rift in the universe has appeared nearby. It's letting out a pulse that makes it seem like its constantly warping its shape, and an eerily quiet atmosphere is circulating around it.
If you wish, you can have a Colonist explore the Gateway; however, there's no guarantee that what they'll find anything on the other side. Alternatively, you can wait for it to close itself, but who knows what could begin happening in that time.'

• A gateway appears on the Colony Map. It takes the form of a white rectangle, creating the same sort of particles that the Colonists create while researching Anomalies.
  
• The player can send a Colonist to 'Explore the Gateway'. This can be done with multiple Colonists.
  
• If they do, that Colonist will be transported to an alternate setting, taking one of the following settings:
  
• Empty: The other side of the Gateway is an empty landscape. No trees, no grass, no signs of life; it is nothing but a husk of something that never had anything to explore its surface.
  
• Fleshpit: The other side of the Gateway is a Fleshpit. You can hear the sounds of meaty flesh writhing within the cave; however, there may be valuables within it that might make it worth exploring.
  
• Civilisation: The other side of the Gateway leads to a random colony somewhere on the planet. It may be hostile, neutral or friendly.
  
• Mirror: The other side of the Gateway is an alternate dimension, revealing a twisted version of the player's own colony. The original colonists will appear, and may be hostile.
  
• There may be many other settings that the player could discover through this event (I just don't want to clog the entire document with them).
  
• The Gateway will close automatically when all Colonists return from it. Alternatively, it will close within 4-10 days of opening, and has a small chance to summon a Raid directly from its form, usually of Anomalous properties.

• Grants access the to the following equipment:

- G.T.D.: The Gateway Transport Device can be used to Summon a Gateway to anywhere on the planet. It is a one-way use item, and allows the player to transport a single colonist to a single location anywhere within 70 tiles of the colony.

BENT OBELISK
'A large, black obelisk has landed nearby. It pulses with an intense energy, leaving those nearby feeling uneasy and slightly itchy. It's not clear what will happen when it reaches its full capacity.
You can send colonists to suppress the obelisk to prevent it from activating. You can also mark the obelisk for study to try to learn its purpose and perhaps make use of it.'

• The Bent Obelisk appears like every other Obelisk. Like those Obelisks, it too needs to be suppressed, or else it will eventually build to 100% power and unleash havoc.
  
• The Bent Obelisk's unique ability is to mess with a Colonist's entire way of being; in total, it can affect a Colonist's Passions, Skills, Traits, Religion, Age, Appearance and Gender.
  
• Like other Obelisks, this can be forcefully provoked by a Colonist once enough research has been performed. However, it cannot do this randomly, unless its power is above 70%.
  
• If the Bent Obelisk reaches 100%, it will unleash a massive blast of Gene-Altering power, causing every Pawn in the region to randomly become a completely different Xenotype. It also affects animals, morphing every animal into a completely different animal (example: Turning a Guinea Pig into a Polar Bear).
  
• The Bent Obelisk can be studied for the following Logs:
  

Entry 1
'Through their Research, [Colonist Name] has been able to discover more about the obelisk. It appears to harness some sort of alteration-style power; not just in mind, but in body, and even gene-type, too.
it's unsure how it would wield such power if it was allowed to increase in strength. [Colonist Name] thinks the obelisk should be kept beneath a threshold in order not to accidentally trigger its power.
[Colonist Name] needs more time to study the obelisk to truly figure out what it can do, and how to shut it down before it can reach that point.'
Entry 2
'[Colonist Name] has made a frightening discovery. As they originally expected, the obelisk has the ability to physically alter a person beyond just standard twisting of flesh; unlike the abominations that are the Fleshbeasts or similar such cases, it seems the obelisk is far more pinpoint in its ability, going as far as to change a person's sex or race if it sees fit.
On the bright side, [Colonist Name] has been able to find a source of its energy. With more time, [Colonist Name] could eventually figure out how to shut down the obelisk safely.
You can now intentionally provoke the Obelisk for a reaction.'
Entry 3
'After much researching, [Colonist Name] has found the root of the Obelisk's true power. Though it would take two shards of dark energy to do so, [Colonist Name] now knows how to close the Obelisk's power off and nullify it, and has shown the others how to do the same.
However, the sickened curiosity of [Colonist Name] has also managed to figure out just how the Obelisk uses its power to twist people. Even knowing the risk, they could also show the others how to more specifically use its power, too.
You can now shut down the Obelisk using two Dark Archotech Shards. Alternatively, you can now also choose a Specific Change you want to perform on a Colonist (Skill, Trait, Person) using the Provoke option...'
That's all I've got for now! I hope this wasn't too much reading. Do you like them? What would you change or add to the DLC if you could? I'm curious to hear your own suggestions!

Hi,
Does anyone have problems with the app on mac os, and iOS where the app automatically logs out, and you need to log back in.
This has happened a few times now, and i've had to go through the recovery process each time. Pretty annoying, unsure why.
Thanks,

I'm about 330 hours in, day 560, clearly I LOVE this game. It's everything I wanted Medieval Dynasty to be, but with a much better execution (Sorry MD). With that in mind, it's in Early Access and that of course means it's not done, and we who purchased it in EA have a responsibility to provide kind, constructive feedback in order to ensure the game is allowed to flourish as much as it deserves. To that end, I have a few notes and ideas that I think could further improve this already stellar game.
I'm sorry it's so long, I've been accumulating this over the course of my playtime.

Stealth Mechanics

So, maybe this is something planned for a future update, or intentionally omitted, but I find it kind of odd that an archer wearing all dark clothes in the dead of night can't sneak around and pick off a team of brightly colored Brigands one by one without engaging the whole squad. Seriously, the screen is pitch black, I can barely see myself, but somehow all the Brigands know exactly where I am and B-Line towards me the second an arrow lands in the woods behind them?
Maybe this is just an AI problem, but I would love it if there were some sort of stealth mechanics in the game. I'm not saying add a "sneak mode", but things like being able to confuse enemies by breaking line-of-sight, maybe hiding in bushes, getting closer without alerting by moving slowly, using cloth and leather armor instead of plate to make less noise, maybe even throwing rocks to distract enemies. Traps would be nice as well. Things like caltrops, bear-traps, etc.

Dual Wielding & Combat

Probably an obvious one, maybe even something already being worked on, like I assume more polearms are, but dual-wielding your slot 1 and 2 weapons would be nice. Even if you couldn't attack with the weapon in Slot 2, it would be nice if you could pull it out and block with it, allowing for faster swings after blocking.
Melee combat needs some TLC too. I think we're all heavily relying on bows to get us through this game, and I think part of the reason for that is that melee combat is too limited to fight more than 1-2 people, 3 at most, and only if you're really good at it, and you routinely have to face groups of 5-8. More options in melee combat might be able to mitigate this a bit. A dodge roll might be a step too far, but a quick side-step, back-step, forward-step, etc. would be nice. Counters and parry's would also be nice. Maybe disarming mechanics as well.

Army Management

So obviously, as I'm sure the devs are already aware, this system needs many QoL changes. Don't get me wrong, the latest update adding the tool slot was a brilliant change, 10/10 update, and the current system is surprisingly robust in its current state, but it's still got some major pain-points, major enough that I, and from the threads that I've read, many others, ended up soloing most of the game.
Firstly, there needs to be some sort of system to save your army configuration. Having to identify your archers, your heavies, your grunts, and other variants by their stats every time you recruit them to a squad is a major PITA. It would be nice if you could save an army configuration and recall it at a later time. Amend it by recruiting others, moving people around, if needed, then save again.
Second, being able to assign people to a specific weapon, or weapon class. Assigning your archers to bows for example, would mean that they would automatically grab the highest level bow, quiver, and arrows that they can when recruited to a squad. Similarly if you assigned one-handed sword, two-handed sword, sword and shield, polearm, one-handed axe, two-handed axe, one-handed hammer, two-handed hammer, etc.
And third, food management... Holy crap, I've seen this mentioned a lot, and I've been trying to think of ways to mitigate the issues. Yes, your villagers need to eat, but maybe we don't need total realism in this area... One option, what if your soldiers just got weaker if they haven't eaten, instead of leaving formation? If we were going for total realism here, then deserters would probably be executed. So if we're not going that far, maybe don't bother with that system in general?
Alternatively, what if there were additional roles for non-combatants in the army. Apprentice Innkeepers could be set as Quartermasters, who can store stacks of food and arrows and soldiers would go to automatically when they get hungry or run out of ammo.
Other roles might include drummers and banner carriers, whose job is to play war drums and/or carry the army's banner, increasing combat effectiveness of other soldiers within range.
Apprentice Healers could be assigned as field medics, and could be equipped with bandages and medicinal salves and would automatically patch up your army during and after a fight.
For that matter, at the moment the healer's kind of unnecessary. If it were me, I'd change the Healer to Herbalist, and make that a requirement for the T3 forager hut, medicinal salve, and a third structure for manually converting fruits, vegetables, and plants into seeds.
Additionally, maybe your herbalists could revive fallen villagers in a shorter amount of time, having them respawn at some kind of hospital that could only be researched by them as well.

Villager Housing & Job-Specific Equipment

Can anyone tell me what villager housing storage is even for? As far as I can tell, they don't store anything in it, and it doesn't seem to do much of anything at the moment.
What if, instead of keeping your worker villagers in combat gear all the time, we could craft job-specific clothes at the weaver, that granted bonuses such as +2 harvesting, +1 agility, +3 laborer, etc, of course at the expense of armor. What if each villager assigned to a house had their own storage box at their house. Then, armor and clothing could be stored in their housing storage, and when you recruit, or call them to arms, they run home and equip any armor set in their housing storage before reporting for duty. Being dismissed would cause them to run back and re-equip their job specific clothing.
Eventually you could unlock an Armory at T2, or maybe T3, where every soldier set as a guard reservist can store their armor and weapons, allowing for faster equipment changes.

Building & Structure Placement

Devs, you've got to increase the tolerance on placing larger buildings. I can see that they have foundations, but they don't auto-level correctly. Maybe just give us a manual raise/lower option? Placing large buildings is a nightmare on 90% of the map, and most buildings end up having to be placed in the 1x1 pixel area they can be, instead of where you actually want them to be.
Additionally, many structures have the "center point" used for calculating placement/height set to either a corner, one side, or somewhere else, resulting in some really awkward placement. Fences for example, have a center point at one end instead of the actual center, so if you place a fence on a slope on one side of a road, it's half-sunken into the ground, while after rotating it 180 degrees for the other side of the road, half of it is floating in mid air.
Several structures featuring a fenced area allow you to build other things such as chests and torches within them, while others such as the Tavern and Blacksmith do not. The inconsistency is odd, and to be honest, I think it's fair to say that most players would prefer more relaxed building collision requirements in general. I see complaints about construction clipping being too harsh in almost every survival crafting game, and trust me, I play A LOT of them. A certain amount of overlap/clipping really shouldn't be an issue.
The food cellar is particularly picky about where it can be placed and requires predominantly level ground, which makes NO SENSE because it's literally just a mound of dirt. Why can't I place it 80% buried into the side of a hill, it's already just a dirt hill...
Some decorations would also be nice. Kegs, benches, street lamps, etc. At the moment we can only place streetlamps in neutral villages, but we can't for our own village? For that matter, why can't we just build neutral village buildings wherever we want? The Belltower could be a quick call to arms option. Training grounds could slowly boost your own villager stats instead of only books, etc.
Bigger fences, and eventually gates would be amazing as well. I'm sure there are already plans to expand on all of this, but just putting it out there.
There's a few building-related bugs I'd like to report as well:

• Completed Stockpiles always spawn half-underground.
• The Lumbermill description states it can produce planks, but there doesn't appear to be any way to actually command it to do this, unless I missed it?
• The Lumberjack placement point is offset quite a distance from the player, and as such does not rotate around it's own axis, but rather the player's, making placement somewhat more difficult.
• The player's Cabin has no interior lighting and is pitch black inside at night.

Not sure how others feel, but I personally think it would be better if structures such as the Inn and the Foraging Hut did NOT have built-in smoking/drying racks. In the case of the drying racks, these should be a separate structure, and in the case of the smoking rack, it already is.
The reason for this is that NPC's will automatically start smoking/drying food, food that you may have wanted to reserve to create higher-end products, and there's no management system in place for them to forbid this. Alternatively, adding a management system to them would also mitigate this issue.
I would also add a separate "Tool Rack" that only accepts tools, and make the current Weapon Rack only accept weapons and shields, and for that matter, I would remove the attack capabilities from all tools in general. It was a novel idea, and might be moderately helpful in the early game, but it kind of makes a mess of things and I don't think it's worth it. The dedicated tool slot goes a long way, but still.
Lastly, removing structures without losing their materials. I know, I get it, it's part of the game to lose the materials when you just click demolish on it, but hear me out. What if only apprentice carpenter's could slowly deconstruct existing buildings, essentially in the reverse of the process in which it was built, returning all materials over time?

Storage Management, Farming, & Cooking

The "Top Up" command for individual workstations is nice, but I think also being able to set this at the settlement-level would improve things dramatically. I'd love to be able to set a global limit for certain items that would supersede workstations.
Farming is a particular pain-point in this regard, because you can't set any production limits, presumably because you don't know the yield in advance. The only mitigation I can think of for this would be adding a "Silo" building that has no storage limit, but can only store seeds and farmable products, researchable by the Apprentice Farmer.
Deliveries also need a "Top Up" command. Instead of setting a specific amount, it would be nice to be able to tell it to only send enough to keep x amount in storage at the destination.
As far as cooking goes, I think the Campfire with Cauldron is good as is, but I would increase the yield on cooked items for the version at the tavern, and I would replace the smoking racks with cauldrons, with even further increased yields for the Inn. For example, the Tavern should make 3x yield for 3x recipe cost, while the inn should make 5x yield for 5x recipe cost, both for the same cooking time and no increase in required wood.
I don't believe it would be uncommon in medieval times for an inn to have a huge pot of stew constantly cooking for any patrons or travelers, and this would give much more of an incentive to use the buildings for more than just temporary housing as the population of your village, and the amount of food required to sustain them grows.
The Bakery also has this problem. Professional bakers don't just bake two loaves of bread, or a single pie at a time. They bake multiple racks of them at once. As it stands, the bakery appears to be more about giving the player access to small amounts of difficult to make foods with additional perks, but I think it should be overhauled to be able to essentially upgrade your entire town's diet when it's fully fueled and operational. Wheat is soooo easy to obtain in large quantities, that I think you should be able to make at least 36-48 loaves of bread at once with this structure, and at least 10-20 of the other baked goods.

Sign Posts & Fast Travel

Good system, I really like it. The only change I'd make is to make the sign posts that are already around the map also become fixed fast travel points once you interact with them. I know it's minor, but I built my village in an area that has one and it would be nice if I didn't have to have a second one right next to it, haha.
Another oddity is that you can build full-on houses, training grounds, etc. in neutral villages, but oh no, if I want to build a sign post to fast travel back, that HAS to be outside the city limits, so I have to run into and out of town a ways every time I visit. This doesn't make a lot of sense, and I think that at the very least, you should be able to build them inside the town once you get to the Friend or Protector status.

Skill Books

I think the current skill book system is a little odd. You start reading a book, which applies a status effect, that grants the exp when it completes. If you die, you lose the effect, leading to the player avoiding doing anything dangerous while reading a skill book, especially higher tier books. This isn't the end of the world or anything, but I do think it could be improved to not potentially halt the momentum of the gameplay.
Alternatively, what if, upon sleeping, the attribute menu popped up and asked you which book from your settlement's storage you wanted to "read before bed", and you woke up with the additional exp? Similar to how in older Elder Scrolls games, you would level up and apply stat points after sleeping.
Similarly, when you select skill books to apply to your villagers, they would receive the exp the next morning as well.
Another option would be to make skill books provide the exp buff over the course of the buff duration, meaning that if you or a villager do die, at least you got some of the bonus exp and it's not a total loss.

Horses & Carts

This one's pretty obvious, probably don't need to elaborate, and I believe we've already heard that mounts are coming. Carts with extra storage would be nice as well.

Rare Encounters & Traveling Caravans

The world is already pretty beautiful, but does feel a bit empty. Yes, there are bandit camps and thousands upon thousands of roaming bandits, but other than that, you never see any villagers just travelling the roads. It would be nice to see more liveliness, things like brigand caravans that you can attack and steal from. Travelling merchants with rare goods who occasionally get attacked by bandits, random quest-giving npc's, etc.

Liberated Village Trade

It would be nice to be able to schedule certain items to just buy all automatically every day, or buy up to a specified amount, and select certain goods that you overproduce as automatically tradeable in return.

Hunter's Camp/Lodge

Why do hunters grab the best possible arrows just for hunting? We need a way to limit them to a specific arrow type. Any time my Hunters Lodges are turned on, they grab all of my iron arrows, iron arrows that I desperately need, when simple arrows will do the job for them just fine. Yes, I mitigated this by making hunting outposts instead and delivering a few stacks of simple arrows a day, but c'mon, that shouldn't be necessary.

Wood, Logs, & Trees

The fact that trees don't regrow is... kind of ridiculous. There's nothing in my settlement that I have to constantly micro-manage more than logging outposts. I'm positive the devs have already gotten the memo that we want trees to regrow, but just stating it again here as well, for the record.
Well, that's it, those are my thoughts. I might edit this and add to it over time if I think of anything else, but to all three of you who actually read all that, what are your thoughts? Any of these a bad idea? And if so, please elaborate, and I'd love to hear your ideas as well!

So I have been trying to complete the molecular level mission and my mercer safe house is at the drive-in settlement, but that’s broken because the enemies won’t spawn and so I can’t clear it out. And so I decided to build it at sanctuary because I’ve done that in my past play through and now I can’t build any generators or connect any wiring otherwise my game will automatically crash. Just wondering if anyone else is dealing with this or did anyone figured out a solution? Also its crazy that i logged over 600 hours into fo4 on the ps4 gen game and Never experienced game breaking glitches until i started using to many mods. And now this next gen update I’ve experienced so many glitches and game breaking issues. Its a bummer cuz i love this game so much.
