Yup, it's interesting how so many of these universal ID for voting laws don't also include an easy, convenient, and free means for all citizens to get IDs.

Figured it would be a good idea to collect known issues in one place:

  1. Dedicated servers with mods to enable more than 15 pals per base can have pals 16+ assigned to a base deleted Source
  • For the above, I would have dedicated servers with such mods hold off on 1.5.1 until players get a chance to put all their base pals back in their palbox and/or update their worldoptions.sav file with the correct max pals: Website to create a custom worldoption.sav Local run version or better yet set the max number of workers in PalWorldSettings.ini then use this tool to create a new worldoptions.sav file.
  • Servers that are using a custom WorldOption.sav to increase the Base worker limit may be spared from this issue.
  • "Deleted" pals may be in spheres above the vicinity of the Palbox.
  1. Pre patch incubators will not work (will only accept/store small pal souls)
  • Destroying and rebuilding the incubator seems to fix this.
  1. The Pal Info mod (and likely any mod that shows Pal info) conflicts with 2.0.6 and as such should be disabled until the mod author can update the mod for 2.0.6
  2. Players with UE4SS installed get a blank screen when trying to start the game and log in.
  • Go to Palworld/Binaries/Win64/Mods/ edit mods.txt to change BPModLoaderMod from 1 to 0.
  • Note, UE4SS Blueprint type mods will not work with the fix above but at least you'll be able to log into the game Credit
  1. Dedicated servers may fail to launch
  • The server executables have new names.
  • Make sure your scripts point to the new server names (old ones had -test at the end, new ones are -release I believe)
  • If you're using any firewall rules that point to a specific name for the dedicated server process, it'll need to be updated to the new binary name.

Increase Pal Storage

  1. Shut down the server

  2. Make a backup of your local or server save file (level.sav) and the player files just in case.

  3. Download the python utility below:

https://github.com/touchfluffytails/Palworld-Palbox-Slot-Injector

  1. Download "PalWorld Save Tools"

https://github.com/cheahjs/palworld-save-tools/

  1. Run the command on the save file (you did back it up, right?)

inject_box_slots.cmd

(select 17-64 pages, 30 pals per page)

  1. Start the server back up

And that's it, you can skip the rest of the listed steps in the tool pages, why?

Just running the tool against your save file, you will be able to see and interact with the additional storage in the Pal and Black Market merchant "sell pal" screen.

The extra steps that are listed in the tool's page (UE4SS, injector, download and install the "Bigger and Better Palbox" mod on the server and for each client, etc will only do two things if you get them all to work:

  1. The extra slots (pages 17+) will be visible in the PalBox
  2. New players will automatically have their save data adjusted to give them the extra slots.

If you just want the extra storage with the caveat that it can only be seen, reorganized and pals on pages 17+ moved to pages 1-16 at a pal or black market merchant, then you only need my 5 steps above and it only needs to be done once on the server (and again if any new players join to give them the extra slots).

No additional mods needed and the players connecting to the server won't have to do anything else.

I submitted a request in the official PocketPair PalWorld discord "ideas-and-wishes" channel to implement the UI from the pal vendors (when selling) in the Condenser. If they implement that idea, then with just the modified save file you would be able to condense the pals you have on pages 17-64 without visiting a Pal Merchant to move them to pages 1-16 first.

https://discord.com/channels/505994577942151180/1066919387921137724

Adding bases

This one is simple:

  1. Download "Duck's Progressive Bases"

https://www.curseforge.com/palworld/patch-pak-mods/ducks-progressive-bases/files/5059584

  1. On the Server create a "~mods" folder (no quotes) in the Pal/Content/Paks folder

  2. Put the pak file from zip you downloaded in that folder

  3. Do the same for each client that will connect to the server.

  4. Restart the server!

Other mods

Pretty much any mod that comes as a .pak and does not need UE4SS can be installed easily on a Linux Pal server.

Server Only Mods:

These mods only need to be installed on the server (change backend stuff like loot drops)

  • Gear Progression

Client Only Mods

These change UI items that don't require coordination with the server

  • Pal IVs (shows the pal inherent stats) Requires UE4SS installed

Server and Client Mods

These make changes that the server has to "allow" and the clients have to be aware of:

  • Duck's Progressive bases (if installed on the server only, the players won't see the option to build more than 3 bases).

I'll add more to this list as I test out and find more mods.

What are you saying? This has nothing to do with the current republican party or their talking points!

Mohn also calls for the end of “all woke and gender ideology propaganda in schools and other public places

I'm sure it's a coincidence...

Mohn spouts several far-right talking points, including:

"America is rotting from the inside out as far-left woke mobs rampage our once prosperous cities, turning them into lawless zones."

" A fifth column army of illegal immigrants infiltrates our border"

Oh...

It's because the article is withholding information* to "guide" the viewer towards conspiratorial explanations. Especially with lines like this:

What China’s lab was targeting with so many dangerous pathogens remains a mystery

Meanwhile, elsewhere, this was already answered:

https://apnews.com/article/california-biolab-covid19-test-kits-china-arrest-3ee30af1548356e017276860ebb21f53

The Chinese owner of an unauthorized central California lab that fueled conspiracy theories about China and biological weapons has been arrested on charges of not obtaining the proper permits to manufacture tests for COVID-19, pregnancy and HIV, and mislabeling some of the kits.

Also note, the OP article is not originally from AOL. AOL is quoting another article from a "Scripps News", practically in its entirety without any additional journalism on their part. If they had done any journalism, they would have found the AP article I linked with more info or the DoJ article on the charges that were brought up.

Edit:

This story broke in July 25, 2023:

https://midvalleytimes.com/article/news/2023/07/25/investigation-on-reedley-building-uncovers-bio-health-hazards/

investigators discovered that one room of the warehouse was used to produce COVID-19 and pregnancy tests

* Note, the words "test" or "tests" do not appear anywhere in the OP article.

Intuit (Turbo Tax) and H&R Block are the main lobby against easy tax prep (spent millions per year), then the other 12 members of the ACTR are:

Tax Act

OnLine Taxes

Wolters Kluwer

Tax Hawk

Liberty Tax

Drake Software

Jackson Hewitt

also the following financial institutions:

Netspend

Republic Bank

TPG Santa Barbara

So who do you use that is not one of the 14 companies above (or owned/operated by them)?

The specific quote:

“Nobody has any idea where these people are coming from, and we know they come from prisons. We know they come from mental institutions and insane asylums. We know they’re terrorists. Nobody has ever seen anything like we’re witnessing right now. It is a very sad thing for our country. It’s poisoning the blood of our country.”

From the article:

Laura Barrón-López, White House correspondent for PBS, told viewers last night, “I checked with a historian, Ruth Ben-Ghiat, and she said that language that he’s using ... echoes language used in Nazi propaganda by Adolf Hitler when Adolf Hitler actually said that Jewish people and migrants were ‘causing a blood poisoning’ of Germany.

First off, the water would need to be desalinated or you would ensure the land would be unsuitable for farming (and really growing anything) for generations.

Also, sand doesn't hold water. In fact, when planting trees and other bushes, if you want more drainage, you typically add rocks and sand.

Second, most plants need non-sandy soil to grow on (palm trees and other beach bushes and plants aside) though those grow in areas that have lots of rain already.

Thirdly, the soil will need bacteria to aid the plants in obtaining nutrients and breaking down waste (dead leaves, dead plantlife, etc).

The way to do it is to look at a couple of projects that are fighting against desertification in Africa:

  1. The Great Green Wall https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/great-green-wall/

  2. Using compostable waste to fertilize soil https://jstories.media/article/greening-the-desert-with-trash

You'll notice that many of these projects start at the edges of deserts. Instead of relying on pumping water onto sandy soil (which would just suck up the water as sand doesn't hold water that well) they focus on extending the non desert ecosystem onto the desert so that the new soil will absorb water better, the weather over the newly terraformed area will be less dry, and it will eventually be self sustaining.

Doing some math:

The writers that were paid $3000 in the story wrote 11/134 episodes or 8.2%

The episodes are 42 minutes each, round down 2 minutes for skipped credits, divide 3x10^9 by 40 we get:

75 million episodes streamed (approx)

If they wrote 8.2 % of those streamed, then they wrote 6.15 million individually streamed episodes.

So writers got 0.049c per episode streamed or 0.00012c per minute streamed.

The average American watches 160 minutes of TV Video a day, so round that up to 5000 minutes a month, and say $10 a month per sub on that, we get $10 of revenue for 5000 minutes streamed, or 0.2c per minute.

So streaming revenue (using the above math and assumptions) would be 0.2c per minute of which the writers of the content that was streamed got 0.00012c or 0.06%.

Netflix 2023Q2 revenue was 8.18B and expenses were 6.36B.

https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/NFLX/netflix/revenue

2018 estimate figures the combined Netflix users streamed 164M hours per day

https://www.soda.com/news/netflix-users-stream-164-million-hours-per-day/

14.9Billion hours for that Quarter.

2018 saw 15.8 Billion annual revenue and 14.2Billion in costs. Gives us an estimate of 3.55B in costs for 1 quarter in 2018

894B minutes / 3.55 B in costs = 0.397c in costs per minute streamed.

Out of the 0.397c of costs (0.442c revenue) writers got 0.00012c or 0.0302% of the costs or 0.0272% of the revenue.

While the title of the story is interesting, this tidbit was buried further down:

Sound of Freedom" surprised critics by smashing box office projections, grossing more than $150 million so far. The film had a $14.5 million budget. Social media users have suggested that the film is using "astroturfing," a practice of buying up hundreds of tickets to make theaters appear sold out, to inflate its success.

Several TikToks have gone viral showing "Sound of Freedom" theaters that were supposedly sold out completely empty once the movie begins.
