BUG REPORT: REFINED POWER WIND TURBINES - Early Access: 202470

[Kerry]

I'm playing in the grassy fields and the wind turbine mark 1 I just placed on the surface is showing as being at -(negative) 39.13 meters altitude. It's not producing anything.

Uninstall the mod should fix it.

[Wolfgang]

Contact the mod author with that. Nothing the devs can do about mod related issues.

How's uninstalling the mod going to fix a problem with the mod? Circular logic there man.

[kimba-rip]

you use MODS at your own RISK......

Because, then, your wind turbine won't have a negative meters altitude.

Yeah, because the turbine will be gone.

You can stop trolling now.

Yeah, still not solved. It's still a bug with the turbine which, of course, is the whole point of this thread.

Seriously, what do you hope to achieve by posting it here? That the devs will fix it?

Yeah, exactly.

But the mod developers, not the game developers. Also I can't contact the mod authors,

Well, the mod authors aren't likely here either.
Also the mod authors have a discord server. It's literally on the page for the mod.

Yes, well Discord is a confirmed security threat so I won't be going on it.

Here's proof:

https://news.sophos.com/en-us/2021/07/22/malware-increasingly-targets-discord-for-abuse/

95% of the Discord CDN is infected with malware, from the corrupting to the utterly catastrophic. Even the chatbots on Discord can be malicious.

And don't give me that BS about "just don't click on links". Some of the malware items are fraudulent clickers, so even if you don't click on links the malware will click for you.

If you're on Discord these days you're either evil, or you've been tricked. I was in the latter group once, but like that song from The Who, I won't get fooled again.

If you have any sort of decent antivirus software (Windows Defender is enough) then you are pretty much good to go. When you then also have something that blocks popups (Firefox does this pretty reliably) then you are even better protected.
Trust me, Discord is a smaller safety hazard than sharemod where people download mods for other games from. Because for that website you need a decent AdBlock as well.

Edit: Also asked a friend of mine who is using Discord and they never had any malware issues. Showing your post to them their comment was: "If you have this happening to you then you should change servers because you are clearly on the wrong ones."

I was on my own server. I was on official servers for video games and large, public fandoms. I was on close friends' servers as well.

If those are "the wrong servers" then which ones are the "right" ones?

And did you show your friend the link to the article I posted as proof? There's a lot more to the story that what I said in this post.

Check this out, something I posted on the official Q&A site for Satisfactory:

https://questions.satisfactorygame.com/post/6351dbc6ca608e08035229d6

Lot more detail there, direct from the article.

You might think I'm being alarmist, but if a top-quality anti-malware producer and Subject Matter Expert like Sophos says "Discord is a global-level threat that cannot be ignored", then I'd listen to the experts.

Experience may be the best teacher, but there are other sources of wisdom. Just because YOU haven't experienced it, just because your close friends haven't experienced it either, that doesn't mean that it isn't true.

If it were independent experts I might agree. However, here you have people from a company warning against something for which they provide the solution. It is the same as with VPN companies. They will tell you that you aren't secure and that everyone can see what you are doing if you don't use a VPN. There is a ton of Marketing for these things and very little expertise. You are secure with Windows Defender and can set your browser to delete cookies and disable tracking cookies.
It is generally a good thing to be highly sceptical when companies state something for which they provide the "solution". Because most of the time it is just marketing.
