yoakenashi Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I do dislike this. I wonder if there is anything Klei can do to allow us to enable searching for archived threads.

Sasza22 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Why don`t we have an ability to search through archived threads separately. It would help a lot.

PhailRaptor Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I have a whole stack of tabs open to threads on the forum that I might need later. They are progressively becoming archived as discussion in those threads dies off. But the information in them is generally very valuable. Neotuck's early game Terrarium build, Neotuck's early game PW decontamination build, Saturnas' water clock how-to, Ainsley4ever's 10 kg/s Sour Gas relcaimer build, Tobruk's guide to Bridges, R9MX4's manual on pump range quirks, R9MX4's guide to Biology, and to Meteors, a thread containing a post by travaldofan showing a very nice Bristle Berry Farm, QuQuasar's SPOM build, and Saturnas' really old 10 kg/s PW boiler from way back in the day when Sand had only just become plentiful. (Incidentally, why is R9MX4's profile all screwed up? Their name is replaced by FIXBUGFIXBUGFIX, and their avatar is a blank black square. Did something happen?)

Bookmarking the threads will keep access. My problem was that the thread was one of mine so I didn't bother bookmarking.

Denisetwin Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 For some reason I thought the archiving was to help newer players understand that what was discussed in the old threads as "working" may not work with the changes made later on. ie a build that was discussed such as Borg Cube, no longer works in the game, oil to natural gas boilers before sour gas will no longer work, etc. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/103939-lost-threads/#findComment-1166723 Share on other sites More sharing options...

For this exact reason, I created "The Steam Turbine: Everything you need to know" post. The post has TONS of links to archived threads about steam turbines, all easily found through this portal. I'm thinking of starting a "ONI University" series that links tons of posts and helps people find buried, forgetten, threads. Sad that I even have to think about how to work around the automatic archival system. The system tags posts as "Archived" once no comments have been added for 3 months. I just checked this to confirm. Dec 19 comments appears on page 32 of the forum. Everything before this is not archived, everything after is, except update posts which get treated separately. If you want a post to stay alive, bump it once every 2 months and 29 days. I modify the steam turbine post every week or so, adding relevant threads that add something new to the discussion. Currently the post gets bumped often enough by others that I don't need to do anything. If a few months go by and no one bumps it, I'll probably make a comment about some new cool posts from others, bumping the post and preventing archival. If no new cool posts are added, and the devs don't address it by game release.... (hope lost....) Maybe we're close enough to final game release that it's time to focus on the wiki.... But then you lose all the fun discussion. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/103939-lost-threads/#findComment-1167224 Share on other sites More sharing options...
