So I started in the evac shelter as per usual. I went down into the basement, after ignoring a weird prompt. I then fell into lava and died. What just happened? ---

Lava in the ground is what happened. If your rooting through houses when you find a basement with a drop, it’s probably lave so leave it. ---

It’s next to a beehive (which I’ve not explored but I figure will result in much “fun”) and an anthill nearby. This is the worst evac shelter ever. I’m deleting this world in my rage against the RNG. \>:O This is almost as bad as that time I spawned in the evac shelter with a NPC with a flamethrower.

One time, months ago, the game couldn’t find an evac shelter to place me in so it dropped me in the middle of nowhere in some massive lake. I drowned. ---

> [@Maur](#): > > Sorry, i meant batch crafting saving time. Yeah, this should really be tied to, for instance, the quality/size of your cooking gear. Ex: Boiled noodles recipe + Can (can it even be used) - 1 serving, 10m crafting Boiled noodles recipe + Can (can it even be used) - 1 serving (batch), 20m crafting Boiled noodles recipe + Frying pan - 1 serving 10m crafting Boiled noodles recipe + Frying pan - 2 servings 10m crafting (cause pan can hold more) Pot can produce 5 servings at a time, etc. What irks me the most are jerky recipes. I wish they were reworked to work a bit like making charcoal. Get a drying rack, spend x amount of minutes on preparation and dump the stuff (or “load” the rack) and then leave it be. Rack can make 10 or so servings at a time. Etc etc ---

There are currently two different topics about this. I wish people would be more specific with their titles. On a related note, this happened to me in a lab recently. However, I’m fireproof and I had a grappling hook handy so I had a way back up.
