![]() ![]() Instead, players must purchase their own Animal Pens from the Store, and can place them down where they wish. They differ from each other primarily by physical size and the number of animals they can house.įarming Simulator 19 is the first game in the series where none of the default maps feature any pre-placed Animal Pens. The base game offers two models of each Animal Pen type - a "small" and "large" model. Each type of Pen houses a different kind of Animal, takes different types of Materials (and has different capacities for each material), and creates different products. The base game offers five different types of Animal Pens. This requires selling off all the animals first, and any materials left in the pen when it is sold will disappear without reimbursement. The amount of effort and materials required changed from one type of pen to the next.Īll Animal Pens can be sold off, if the need arises. They must be supplied with materials regularly products must be removed and taken to sell or use animals must be sold when the pen fills up and the animals' feeding trough must be regularly cleaned to ensure maximum production rates. Most Animal Pens require quite a bit of attention. The Horse Paddock is the odd one out, as it does not produce materials nor breed animals, but instead increases the value of existing animals until they can be sold for much more money than their purchase price. At that point, you may sell the excess animals for a profit. Animals in pens may also be able to breed, slowly filling the pen with more animals until capacity is reached. ![]() Most animals produce at least one material to be sold (or used on your fields). Once animals are provided with the proper materials, they will begin to produce whatever the pen is designed for. Input materials cannot be removed from the pen once they've been dumped into it. Different Animal Pens accept different materials, and have a different storage capacity for each material that depends on the number of animals in the pen at any given time. Animals can also be purchased directly at the Animal Pen (transport fee included), and can also be sold from there.Įach Animal Pen has multiple marked drop-off zones where materials can be dumped into the pen to be made available for the animals. There is also an extra transportation fee per animal that can only be avoided if the player purchases an Animal Transport and uses it to manually move animals from the dealer to the pen. Animals must be purchased from the Animal Dealer, for a set price per animal. This requires plenty of money and plenty of open space, as well as forethought regarding the best place to put each pen to make the work easier.Įach type of Animal Pen can hold one specific type of animal. Instead, players must purchase land Parcels and then buy Animals Pens from the "Placeables" category at the Store, to be placed wherever the player see fit. This is the first game in the Farming Simulator series in which the default maps do not feature any pre-placed Animal Pens. The handling of animals and their products is called " Animal Husbandry", and is one of the primary ways to make a profit in this game. Each type of Animal Pen can be filled with a specific type of Animal and its required materials in order to generate a new (higher-value) product, breed animals for extra profit, and/or train animals to increase their sale value. Cross-platform multiplayer and a large variety of free community-created modifications, officially tested by GIANTS Software, extend the farming experience many times over.Animal Pens are a category of Placeables in Farming Simulator 19. Whether they create a lush vineyard or an olive orchard in the Mediterranean south of France, a vast farmland full of wheat and corn in the US-Midwest or a lively animal farm in the hilly landscape of the Alps: More than 400 machines and tools from over 100 real agricultural brands like Case IH, CLAAS, Deutz-Fahr, Fendt, John Deere, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, Valtra and many more are available. ![]() A multitude of new gameplay features, like new ground working mechanics as well as a character creator for individual farmers, offer more content and player freedom than ever before. Players creatively build their own farm and extend their operations with production chains - forming an agricultural empire! They focus on agriculture, animal husbandry and forestry while facing new challenges like the four seasons. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Uthus were the buildings for animals, tools and animal fodder (animal food), in other words, the Uthus were the barns and silos. The Innhus was for food storage, sleeping and living. The buildings for farms were split into two parts, Innhus and Uthus. These buildings were for farming the rough steep fjords. The roofs were covered in dirt to keep the heat inside the house, and grass was planted in the dirt on the roof to keep it from eroding away. These buildings were built of wood, usually logs similar to “ Lincoln Logs" or log - cabin style. Most of these designs depict Jesus, a cross, or the disciples. But the inside was highly decorated with intricate designs. From the outside, they look like more complex forms of the Ritual Houses. They were built of wood, and had stone walls around the base. The roofs were often multi-layered, and they usually had a tower or spire in the middle of the highest layer of the roof. Stave churches were used for Christian gatherings in the Norse region after the Christianization of Scandinavia. Rituals (slaughtered and burnt animal sacrifices) took place outside, so the majority of the decorations were on the outside. Later stave churches were likely inspired by them. The entrances were also ornamented with decorated columns. They often had multi-layer roofs with decorations on the peaks. But as time went on, they got more complex. Early ritual houses were simple wooden structures used to display the weapons of defeated enemies. Ritual Houses were the religious buildings before Christians came to Scandinavia. Religious buildings interior of Borgun stave church Ritual houses ![]() This structure may also be (partially) encircled by an advanced rampart, but this part of the structure is not necessarily circular. All Trelleborgs have a strictly circular shape. Five of them have been dated to the reign of Harald Bluetooth of Denmark (died 986). "Trelleborg" is a collective name for six Viking Age circular forts located in Denmark and the southern part of modern Sweden. Each held one ship only, but many boathouses could be built next to each other if multiple ships had to be housed. The walls were made of wood with stones piled up at the base. They had to be extremely long because the Viking Ships could be 25 meters long or longer. They were dug into the ground as well as built up. They were usually built slightly back from the waterline. The major aspects of Medieval Scandinavian architecture are boathouses, religious buildings (before and after Christians arrived in the area), and general buildings (both in cities and outside of them).īoathouses are the buildings used to hold Viking Ships during the winter and any time they could not sail.

Ubisoft also announced today that Rainbow Six Siege is coming to PC Game Pass too, having previously been on Xbox Game Pass.

![]() ![]() But this price tag is more for investment than drinking if we’re being brutally honest. But whiskey can only get so good, right? This release from the Buffalo Trace’s yearly Antique Collection is a very fine bottle that’s incredibly well-crafted. Look, if you want to spend $500 on a bottle, we’re not going to stop you. Stagg Buffalo Traceĭistillery: Buffalo Trace Distillery, Frankfort, KY (Sazerac) And given that the juice is coming from the same place, you’re within reason switching these out for each other. In my humble opinion, this is just as fine as Bulleit and about $10 cheaper. What To Buy Instead: Four Roses Yellow Label That being said, recent controversies and that over-saturation have taken some of the sparkle off of this expression. The whiskey is sourced from the Four Roses Distillery (for now) and then aged at Bulleit’s facilities, adding their own mark on the juice. That’s not some grave injustice - this is a perfectly fine bourbon, for what it is. It was almost impossible to get away from this whiskey at one point. ![]() So for each bourbon that we’re calling out as overhyped below, we’re also naming another (cheaper) bottle as a solid alternative.ĭistillery: Four Roses Distillery, Lawrenceburg, KY (Diageo) As drinkers and aficionados, we have a real love for the art of whiskey making and the craftspeople producing it - hating on expressions isn’t fun for us. Whiskey is about exploring and we’re encouraging you to do just that. What we mean is that you shouldn’t limit yourself. That’s not to say any of the bottles below are bad. And yes, some of them seem to get a little too much shine. In 2020, with more expressions on the shelf than ever, there are a lot of bourbons competing for your attention. Then there’s the awards circuit, where some bottles pile up win after win - adding a certain luster. The biggest reason people will trample their grandmothers for a bottle of Pappy is that Anthony Bourdain famously loved the stuff. And partially because of plain, old luck. Partially because the competition is improving the overall quality and “good” bottles slide down that ranking to “mediocre.” Partially because branding occasionally helps the wrong bottles get mainstream love. I will not be drinking anymore Benchmark Full Proof straight but I’m sure it will be fine for cooking and cocktails.When the market for any spirit grows saturated, people will soon start identifying overhyped and overrated expressions. I was once again surprised by how good Stagg Jr iseven right next to GTS. Stars: 3 - Excellent whiskey: I would be willing to hunt down a bottle Conclusion The finish is very long, slightly dry and a little spicy with fading cola and lingering oak and rye spice. The proof integration is excellent, it lets you know it’s a heavyweight without overwhelming. The palate has notes of rich oak, cherry cola, caramel, vanilla cream, baking spice and a bit of brown sugar. ![]() Notes: The nose is like an overly boozy holiday spiced cherry pie.

Stars: 0 - Poor to Fine: I would not specifically choose to drink this over other readily available options Stagg Jr Batch 15 The mouthfeel is solid but the proof is not well integrated. The palate is slightly harsh with ethanol burn, caramel, baking spice and a bit of cherry. Notes: The nose brings ethanol with a bit of spiced cherry pie. Also, I apparently forgot to write a review of 2020 GTS so this will have to count as that too.

![]() ![]() Guide your species as it builds (and the player designs) villages, buildings, cities, and vehicles.īegin your odyssey at the dawn of life as a simple microbe just trying to survive, then use the fun, intuitive Editors to evolve the creature from its microscopic origins into an intelligent, tool-using race. Along the way to becoming a global civilization you can choose whether to hunt or forage, attack or trade, be nice or play rough. All the action takes place in a huge, lush world populated with creatures evolved by other players and shared over SPORE's central servers. When it's ready, your one-time pond scum launches into space in its UFO on a grand voyage of discovery, planet forming, or destruct-ion. As you explore and play in this limitless universe of unique worlds, your personal Sporepedia tracks all the creatures you've met and places you've visited. Take complete control of your creature's fate as you guide it through the following six evolutionary phases: Tidepool phase: Fight with other creatures and consume them to adjust the form and abilities of your creature. It's survival of the fittest at the most microscopic level. ![]() Creature phase: Venture onto dry land and help your creature learn and evolve with forays away from your safe haven. Carnivore or Herbivore? Social or Independent? The choice is yours. Tribal phase: Instead of controlling an individual creature, you are now caring for an entire tribe of your genetic craftwork. Give them tools and guide their interactions as you slowly upgrade their state of existence. City phase: Bring your creatures' race into a new golden era by building up the technology, architecture, and infrastructure of their city. Civilization phase: Once your city is established, your creatures begin seeking out and interacting with other cultures. You can have them do so with an olive branch or a war cry-either way, the goal for your creatures is to unify the planet. Space phase: The time has come to move on to other worlds in your solar system. Make first-contact, colonize, or terraform, then venture further to find other solar systems scattered throughout a magnificently rendered galaxy. A 'mission' structure provides new goals and paths to follow as you begin to spread through the universe.To expect the same expansive Spore experience on the Nintendo DS is a little crazy. Horsepower and system capabilities aside, it's clear by the timing of the game that Spore Creatures was developed independently from the original game while it was still being created, so the scope of the project obviously had to be a little more "contained" for DS gamers. That said, it's pretty cool to see a lot of the same features mirrored in the handheld game, right down to the ability to create crazy lifeforms that can be sent to other systems via online support. Spore Creatures starts out with a very rigid "adventure" design where you'll control one creature in a set storyline that involves exploring a planet and protecting one of your critter buddies. Right from the start you'll learn the ability to "evolve," or rather the ability to shift around bodyparts that will help out with defeating enemy creatures as well as accessing different parts of the world. #Awesome spore creations upgradeīefriending native creatures or kicking their butts in battle will net additional body parts that will upgrade your in-game character's fighting and environmental abilities. ![]() Some parts will enable him to traverse harmful terrain or swim, abilities that become integral to the linear storyline - if you find yourself stuck in a map, there's clearly a body part that you'll need to find or have in your inventory that will help you move onto the next portion of the adventure. The creature creation portion is surprisingly robust even in its limited engine. The designers went with a very Paper Mario-like look for the organisms: you'll piece together 2D body parts like a paper doll to create a hybrid dimensional critter that's 2D in appearance but behaves like a 3D character. ![]() ![]() ![]() Step 7: Using the same method as with the contact paper, I apply the stripes horizontally across the bookends, leaving a 1″ gap between each stripe.Planner 5D is the best-looking home design tool. I somehow don’t have the words to properly explain this part, so take my word and measure this piece separately. The vinyl you cut for three of the sides will be 1″, but on the sloped side (the side facing outwards when up against the books) you’ll need to measure the width once the other sides are applied.īecause you’ll have cut the black vinyl on an angle, the width of that piece will actually be longer because in bisecting it we get into some math (a+b=c kinda thing). Step 6: Using my scissors, I cut the black vinyl into 1″ stripes. This can be time consuming, but it ensures there are no pockets or air bubbles. I don’t fully peel back the backing on the paper right away because I don’t want it sticking while I’m getting a good clean line. Once I’ve got the contact paper properly anchored to one end, I slowly peel the backing off the paper, while applying it with the tool. I start by getting a good straight line at one end (like an anchor). I find it best to apply the paper from end to another. I was able to wrap each triangle in one continuous piece of paper. Using my vinyl applicator tool, I wrapped each triangle in marble contact paper. Step 5: Make sure you wipe any sawdust off the wood before applying the contact paper! I also spray-painted the bottom of the wedges so that I knew which part to not wrap. Step 4: Sand-down any excess filler left, so that you have two smooth triangles. Step 3: I applied wood filler to all the gaps so that when I apply the contact paper and vinyl, it won’t be wrapping around the curve of the wood. And then once, to cut the wood square from end to end on a diagonal.I measured the height of my wood stack, and then cut that length on the horizontal. Step 2: After waiting for the dry-time, I cut my wood twice: I weighed mine down with a concrete foot, and left it overnight. Step 1: Start by gluing your pieces of wood together, stacked vertically, one on top of another. Black outdoor permanent vinyl – I got mine from Expressions Vinyl.DC Fix 346-0306 Adhesive Film, Grey Marble.Wood Glue (not No More Nails – actual wood glue).Four 2″ x 4″ scraps – these are wood scraps, but you could conceivably buy one 2″ x 4″ and then cut it.Nice marble ones would be hard to come by out here in Fredericton, even considering HomeSense! But, we do have a big bin of leftover bits of wood, so I wondered if I might be able to start there. I don’t normally buy bookends, in fact I only own one other pair and they’re in // the family room // so making a set for my desk collection makes perfect sense! Now, of course, I have a far too many books and not enough shelves or way to show them off. I particularly enjoyed The Astronaut Wives Club. I love the chic noir genre, and have a penchant for military spouse memoirs. ![]() I gave myself a year where I did’t read anything more than a magazine, and then one day I picked up a book (Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn) and haven’t looked back since. Instead, I’d be done a book within a day and not remember half the plot points. Once I had left the classroom this habit of scanning a page didn’t exactly translate into peaceful afternoons reading. You know in university when you had to read hundreds of pages a week/night for classes? I learned how to speed read and essentially traverse a page diagonally. I mean sure, we have a ridiculously large collection of military history and analysis books (we could probably open a library), but it’s only been in the past year that I’ve revived a passion for reading again. It’s time for this month’s Inspired by DIY! If this week seems jam packed from a content perspective, it’s because it is! I don’t normally share three posts in a week, so make sure you tune in on Wednesday and Thursday to catch all the goodness! It’s like Christmas in September! For this month’s challenge I’m making Faux-Marble Bookends, inspired by // these marble bookends from West Elm // using contact paper, vinyl, and wood! ![]() |
