Tips for the FICSMAS Event / gifts/crafting stuff

[DrNewcenstein]

Please, people, explore before asking. Look in machines for recipes. Look in the M.A.M. Look in the Crafting Bench. Look in the Workbench. Look in the HUB.

My children love this game and I had to answer many, many questions regarding FICSMAS to help them along. Who helps the children with inattentive parents? Who helps the orphans? Get some perspective.

Self-help is the best help. Give a man a fish, and he'll remember to come to you every time he's hungry. Teach a man to fish and he can feed himself. Children included.

I don't expect there to be many toddlers playing this game or navigating these forums. What I do expect is the "over-convenienced" generation to immediately come here any time they have a question, rather than take the time to learn themselves.

don't push the responsibility of others onto strangers. parental responsibility is just that, get some perspective. this is the internet, if parents aren't monitoring their children (even orphans have guardians) thats on them, i refuse to take responsibility for something thats not mine.

i have 3 kids of my own btw.

give ONE justifiable reason for people starting a new thread to ask the same question that already has 10 threads of the same topic posted before it. all this does is clutter up the boards with duplicate threads.

Lol kraft, chill. this is new stuff, people are having fun and theres no reason at all to engage in full nerd rage leet mode in these forums. If we didnt ask questions, view youtube and all that we would never learn this game...ever.

*head pats* I do not need to justify peoples actions, sit back and enjoy the game dude. Happy holidays!

It's a valid point and nobody is raging.

People should search to see if their questions have been answered first before posting a new discussion topic asking a question that has already been asked and answered, which they would know if they would search first.

You should try and figure things out for yourself first, and if you truly can't, then start down the line of resources to help find out the information.

quite frankly, its not new stuff. its exactly like anything else in the game, with the exception that its holiday themed. just seems most are just too lazy to look for themselves, idk it was pretty natural to just look in machines. after all it is a factory game, it being holiday content doesn't really leave any reason it shouldn't be. thats all the OP is trying to get across, neither the OP or my comment were raging at all.

your patronising comment was rather insulting tbh, not offended or anything just pointing it out. i have been enjoying the game for about a year now thanks ;)

i'm all for asking questions, however if the questions been asked multiple times before you ask ... chances are theres already an answer for you before you even ask.

logical deduction, its one of those human qualities that separate us from animals.

Heres an idea for ya. If you see a forum post asking a question that you deem beneath you, skip over it. No one is forcing you to open each thread and condescend to grace us with your wisdom.

has nothing to do with being "beneath" anyone, time for people to grow the hell up and take responsibility for themselves, be proactive and be diligent enough to scan through thread quickly to see if their question has been asked already.

its really not a difficult thing to do, i'm not a prick .. i'm just tired of complacency becoming a normal thing.

First, there's no more "Search" required than reading the first page. There are already 3 dozen threads with "gifts" and "christmas" and "Fiscmas" and "ornaments" and "holiday" in the title. That should be the huge clue to look in those rather than going right for the New Topic button to ask the same question.

Second, nothing defines Elitism like thinking you're the first and only person to ask a question about a game that is being actively developed and has a very busy discussion board. I mean, really, talk about self-important.

Third, there's nothing wrong with asking meaningful questions like "I just started, is there a map?" or "First time doing liquids, what's wrong with my pipes?" and things like that.
Asking "How do I jump", "How do I walk", or "Why can't I leave the game running while my computer is in sleep mode" (yes, this was a real question that was asked), is lazy and stupid.
Although, if you're game, there are guides here for how to walk, and how to jump. Believe it or not. I don't know which is worse; someone making them, or someone needing them.

Was I being condescending, or did you feel condescended? Your perception is not my problem, it's yours.
