Answer the question, ask a question... · · 3 likes


Hopefully a bit of fun and a more rewarding experience than googling alone. Who knows what you might find from the collective brain power of your fellow players..

A simple premise- Ask a question that has been bugging you. The next person to post must provide a concise answer to your question, followed by the question they would like answered.

Simple Rules:

1- If you think the question was answered well, R+ the post that answered it.

2- Don't forget to ask your own question too!

3- If you don't have the answer, please don't post, your turn will come!

So we shall begin..

Why are blueprints always blue?

Torn Citizen "Bucket List" · · 3 likes


Hopefully a bit of fun..

A lot of us may have though about a bucket list in real life, but within the context of the game, does anyone have any suggestions for what a Torn City citizen should have on their list?

Let's see what you come up with be it a goal or tongue-in-cheek idea... One item per post pls.

I'll suggest -

Getting busted so often a new jail wing is built & named after you.

Windows updates are a pain ·


If you are still having this issue you may need to use recovery optiins to reset the PC.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/12415

Even though you can choose to keep your files, I'd still reccomend you take a backup copy first. You would need a bootable DVD/USB pen to do this as well as someting to copy your data onto. You would obviously need a second device on which to create toils you may need.

https://www.cio.com/article/3149771/windows/5-recovery-environments-for-tricky-windows-10-repairs.html explains both the built in win10 recovery creation tool and other 3rd party tools too.

Good luck!

mustard: condiment of shame ·


So jealous of all you mustard consuming swines. Love the stuff, but almost overnight i have become alergic it seems, in the fact if i get it on my mouth my lips swell up then blister and crack for days afterwards so alas no more for me. Happens with any mustard even the ones like American burger mustard that are not that strong. Condiments will never be the same again for me...

Have you considered powerline adapters to use your home power cabling?, tp-link have some really good offerings along with some that also offer wifi cloned from the router itself so give seamless coverage.

(Of course this can be affected by the way your mains wiring works, multiple fuseboards, isolators etc)

Clickbait According to UrbanDictionary--Proof Ched ·


I sometimes find clickbait a mixed blessing especially on youtube gaming. I rarely get what was promised, but just occasionally what I got instead was quite entertaining.

Fortnite Battle royale "secret' moon level- obviously a spoof!

I'd suggest an unofficial PVE server. Look for one with higher rates that the reduce the grind required.

Search for things like x15H x10T x10Exp and so forth.

Choosing PVE means there is far less chance of loosing your progress to another more powerful player.

Alternatively you could customise the rates on your single player game via the .ini file

Quick VPN question · · 3 likes


I would suggest yes, assuming your ISP is basing the limit on any and all data through your connection. In the VPN scenario your downloaded data would be encapsulated within the VPN tunnel, but is still being downloaded through your connection.

Internet speed / Speedtest ·


Its just a very basic test to establish if your connection is anywhere near what its supposed to be. In reality a speedtest is only a baseline of data throughput at a given point, and makes no allowances for contention, nor other traffic being used over the same connection by the same/other devices on your own network when you run the test.

Equally you could be experiencing packet loss on the connection, so data is being dropped and uploaded/downloaded more than once, which may well make the result inaccurate.

Thinking of buying Ark... Thoughts? ·


I'm really glad i bought it when in EA as its quite pricey now. Have invested hundreds of hours in it on The Center & Ragnarok maps and just started out on Aberration.

I generally play on a PVE server with higher than default farming/exp/taming rates, I'm not one for PVP but thats just my personal preference as i don't get much spare time, so don't want to lose my hard work!

The mod community is really good too with some awesome addons for building that greatly improves on the somewhat limited (and frustrating) building system.

There are also a good number of Roleplay servers if thats your bag.

I'd reccomend to anyone who likes the survival game genre, be warned it needs a lot of disk space!

USB Ethernet connector · · 1 like


Not so unusual if it's a slimline laptop. Hopefully whats being purchased has USB 3.0, in which case take a look at the D-Link DUB-1312 USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter. Else if it's a Desktop, a PCI express card may be a better choice.

My wife calls me names constantly. I often wonder if she has a secret Torn account where she learned all these 'terms of endearment'...

fax machine question · · 1 like


Yes, most have a send only option, also if it's on the same fax line as the main copier, just set its number of rings before answer higher than that on the copier, so the copier will always pick up first.

Recently purchased this on Steam and haven't regretted it. Never been online in game, as I work long hours and can't be putting in the grinding only to lose everything. Single player is a bit lonely I guess, but discovering what the game has to offer is cool, I try hard not to 'giveitemnum' too much so I don't feel like I'm cheating, just saving time on bashing rocks/trees etc.

Just started breeding, but lost my first newborn before I could imprint- it wandered up to my Sarco that I left on aggressive and became dinner.*sobs*

OK, so not an achievement in itself, and compared to many my stats are pretty much nothing, but I've survived my time in the city, not lost what little I have earned at the casino, helper a few folks on the tech forums, and really enjoyed my stay.

Thanks Torn for giving me something to do with my morning coffee, and when the missus has dozed off late at night.

Looking forward to next year's milestone. Perhaps one day I will even buy that PI- who knows!
