I've just been told the same, last day in the office today. My slippers won't know what's hit them!

🍀Happy St Patrick's Day!🍀 gongfarmer The home zone on the Isle of Awakening cannot be expanded, but the game will not allow you to build outside it anyway until you've progressed in the story (you can test this by going to a completely different part of the island and attempting to build there). I have noticed that residents found their way up mountaintops and two valleys away into projects that I never intended to be used by anyone. From your description the problem is with your building: is it actually registering as a room? The largest room type is the "enormous" one (max 10x15 blocks), any bigger than that and it won't count. The walls must always be at least two blocks high with no gaps (though you can have gaps above two blocks) and there needs to be a door. When you are inside the building it should tell you what type of room you are standing in. This principle is key to all your building activities. I haven't re-used blueprints very often myself but you just go into the Builderpedia and, as amipal said, put the desired blueprint into your inventory, then slap it down wherever you want. Thanks TH, further info - possible spoilers if by any chance you're nearer the start than me.
I'm on Khrumble-Dun, building the fancy bedroom for Babs, so she can carry on teasing the miners about dancing for them in her fishnets. You heard. The blueprint is the one provided in-game, and all is recognized as a bedroom. the only issue is when I try and assign her to it by writing her name on the plaque it tells me it can't do that if the room is outside the home zone. It had no problem actually letting me plonk the blueprint or build it there though. Just had a thought..... maybe i'm putting the nameplate in the wrong location. I tried inside the room and outside, and normally it doesn't matter where exactly in the room the nameplate should be, but as this is an in-game blueprint maybe i'm just not hanging it in exactly the right spot on the wall. Will try later and update. Failing that i'll drop a chest and ingredients and see if the minions will have more luck building it.

All signs pointing to us being told to work from home, except actually being told to work from home.

I played a single game of COD at lunch, my team landed near the stadium and my two teammates got killed just before I ran in and massacred the two offending culprits, all casual like. Then I got bloody shot to death by a third party.
To the Gulag! Where I won my pistol duel and got back to the action where I promptly equipped myself with a machine gun and A FUCKIN' BAZOOKA! Then one of my teammates who also survived the Gulag turns up in a bloody helicopter.
So we piss about looking for loot from above only when I get back in the helicopter I don't realise my teammate is dead and I have in fact got in with an enemy team. No one bloody notices!! Finally the penny drops and I am shot to death. Again.

'The Lad' seems to be having some financial difficulties. A man, whom he described to me last week, as 'my mate Kaz'. Has recently been to collect monies owed for a mobile phone & weed.
I won't bore you (again) with further details. Suffice to say, he's running scared and lucky not to have received some further slaps.
OTTM: Over 50s life insurance ads are shit, 'This came through my letterbox by accident...'

Will try later and update. Failing that i'll drop a chest and ingredients and see if the minions will have more luck building it. To me this still sounds like a "building outside the boundaries" problem. Although there's no visible demarcation you can tell when you are outside the town zone as the music will stop and the info about your town in the upper left is no longer visible. There is no way to extend that boundary. If you've built outside the town borders, even by only one tile, there's no remedy except knocking it down and moving the blueprint, and then, yes, the name plate needs to go where the blueprint has it. Don't know what the controls are on PC but you just stand inside the blueprint and press the key to bring up the list of materials, scroll down and you'll find the option to move the blueprint at the bottom. Khrumbul Dun is quite cramped so this happens easily. I'm guessing that you are trying to build on the west side of the town? It is worth figuring out the exact border and doing a Trump by building a big, beautiful wall paid for by Mexico on that side. Not only will it prevent this kind of thing from happening but it will also act as an effective barrier for the enemies spawning there as they can't get through iron blocks. |

So probably in the rest of the week.
What a fucking shit show.
Came out a meeting where my big boss basically said if folk can't come in for whatever reason so be it but please come in if you can.
I tell my line manager I need to take the child to school on Thur's going forward - and I'll take the time out my annual leave - she responds by saying "I'll need to see if that's ok"
Then a couple of hours later she tells my team *she'll* be working from home from tomorrow as she has underlying health issues.
Not sure if being an arsehole is an underlying health issue or not.

It has been posited in some quarters that one of the upshots of all this virus malarkey and subsequent Worving is that companies will question why they are renting these fucking huge buildings full of people working on computers with less bandwidth and slower connections than they have in their homes. The company I work for have been trying to shift us to home workers for a while, with the view that when the lease we can't get out of is up, they'll close the office. This next few weeks will be their free test bed for closing the office. |

The dog's last day was yesterday, managed to get one half decent picture of him and I before he went. There is a massive hole in my life now, which I will do my best to not fill with booze this week.

tenthenemy: Love the beautiful new hat, in honour of St Paddy? The guy that chucked all the snakes (reptilian kind) out of Erin? My new avatar is Monica, a Frostling Theocrat... takes my mind off the news that my operation due next week (you won't recall, but this was supposed to have been in January) has now been postponed due to the batshit onslaught. I expected it... the lass who called me thanked me for being nice about it. Which made me wonder what kind of shitty moron would make these guys already stressful and difficult lives worse. This was followed by the specialist TVN Nursey telling me that the Sunday treatment would be dropped in preparation for the upcoming batshit surge... She really was very unhappy about this as she had been the one who'd fought for the additional weekly visit. Discussion followed about some of the current insanity - like that petition that all frontline NHS staff should be prioritized for C19 testing ... It's insane because tests are timebound - they don't protect, they detect - let's say all these staff are tested in the next 2 weeks - there are a finite and insufficient number of tests available, so that will prematurely use up a proportion of them. The peak of infections will probably be mid-April to mid-May depending on how many fuckwits decide to ignore the advice and crowd into pubs etc. And that petition may ensure that tests for people who have snuffed it will not be available. So you then have a prospect of being unable to monitor potential infection in premises where healthcare is being delivered. Thus hospitals, surgeries etc. would become a primary source of infection and there would be no way of triaging critically ill patients. This will happen, but the objective should be to try and minimize the number of deaths and the proposition in the long term. I'm to some extent overstating the case, but essentially there's no magic bullet. And no-one can predict what is the right course of action, but I wish folks would think with their heads and not their hearts.

That is the worst. The pits. Whenever you feel down come on here and call us cunts etc. It might help a little... |
