Find Palia Flow-Infused Wood: Purple Trees (Flow-Infused Plank)


Where can you find the flow-formed wood in Palia? How can you farm the flow-infused planks as quickly as possible and is there a dealer where you can buy the special wood? In the new Palia there are different types of wood, which are mainly needed for crafting and building tools and furniture. In addition to sapwood and heartwood, there is also flow-embossed wood. In this short guide we show where to get the flow stamped wood and what the purple trees have to do with it.

Find Flow Stamped Wood

Flow-embossed wood is obtained from the in-game “magic” purple trees that are commonly seen in both Kilima Valley and Bahari Bay. If you try to cut down a purple tree, depending on the size of the tree and the ax upgrade, you will quickly find that the tree keeps healing itself and cannot be cut down (even with the best ax in the form of the exquisite axe). In order to be able to cut down the purple trees and get the flow-embossed wood, you have to call another player for help via the chat. With two or three players you can easily get the purple tree felled and then get the Fleece Embossed Wood you are looking for. Incidentally, you can also fell the small purple trees yourself with the exquisite axe, since the tree does not heal itself quickly enough here.

Find and farm purple trees?

On the website paliamaps.com you will find an interactive map with the possible spawns of the purple trees with the diligently imprinted wood for Kilima Village and Bahari Bay. A pretty good farm spot is north of Bahari Bay, where there are some spawns from the trees.

Buy flow-embossed wood and boards?

As with the other wooden cards, you cannot buy the flow-embossed wood directly, but you can buy the boards. At Ashura you can buy the plan for the production of the planks, but also the planks in the form of the Flow-Infused Planks themselves for 3 Foraging Medals each. In order to get the Foraging Medals, you must have reached Foraging skill level 10.

Deal : VW will soon discontinue the We-Connect app – this is the alternative

Over and over: Volkswagen will stop operating the “We Connect” app in a few weeks. SamaGame reveals what this means for users and what alternatives there are.

Surprising news from Volkswagen: The Wolfsburg-based car manufacturer will discontinue the “We Connect” app on November 8, 2023. That reports Mobiflip and refers to an email that Volkswagen is currently sending to affected users. This is the second service for which the German car manufacturer has announced an end to operations within a few months. At the end of July 2023, the Wolfsburg-based company announced that it would discontinue the “We Connect Go” app – which turned older cars into networked vehicles in collaboration with a Bluetooth dongle – on December 31, 2025.

Functions in the Volkswagen app in the future

But despite the “We Connect” app being discontinued in a few weeks, drivers of a compatible vehicle do not have to worry that the car manufacturer will take away functions. As Volkswagen says in the email, the features that were previously accessible via the “We Connect” app can be used as usual via the official Volkswagen app after the shutdown. The application, which, like the “We Connect” app, is used to control and monitor your vehicles, stands for both Android– as well as iOS-Devices available free of charge.

Palia that fishy feeling: Catching unusual fish

Where to find the unusual fish in Palia How to complete Elouisa’s “That Fishy Feeling” quest and what exactly do you have to do to do it? In the new Palia from the developer Singularity 6 there are numerous quests that need to be done. While most quests are fairly self-explanatory and quick to complete, there are other quests that require you to search for a specific item. One or the other might feel the same way about the “Fishy Feeling” quest, where you have to catch a total of five unusual fish.

That Fishy Feeling Quest

In order to start Elouisa’s “That Fishy Feeling” quest, you must first reach friendship level 3. Upon reaching the friendship level, you will then receive the quest in which you should catch five unusual star-quality fish. The fish in Palia are categorized into different rarity levels, and these include Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Epic. The unusual fish can be caught everywhere in Kilima Village but also in Bahari Bay on the air bubbles rising in the water. In addition to the rising air bubbles, you can also see the fish that keeps jumping out of the water. You have to throw your rod into the rising air bubbles and you should have hooked some unusual fish. In addition, for some fish you have to use bait like the worms or fireflies.

Find unusual fish

We simply caught the unusual fish in Kilima Village for the quest and these include:

Fish times bait locality
river eel in the evening and at night worms Rivers in Kilima
Striped Sturgeon in the evening and at night worms Rivers in Kilima
Indigo lamprey in the evening and at night fireflies Rivers in Kilima
channel catfish All day – Rivers in Kilima
Red Piranha All day – Rivers in Kilima

Alternatively, of course, you can also go fishing in the sea or in Bahari Bay, which also has some unusual fish to catch on the bubble fishing spots.

If you have farmed the fishing spots with the rising air bubbles, then you should have the required five unusual fish with a star together after 10 to 15 minutes at the latest. With that you go back to Elouisa and you get the key from her as a reward in addition to reputation.

Remnant 2: Activate and turn on the flashlight

Anyone who has already spent an hour or two in the world of the new souls-like shooter Remnant 2 will certainly have been in some dark areas and caves. In some areas there is so little light that you can’t see much. How good that there is a flashlight in the game that automatically turns on the light. But the automatic activation of the flashlight doesn’t always work that well and this raises the question of how to manually turn on the flashlight in Remnant 2?

Turn on flashlight in Remnant 2

If you don’t want to rely on the “automatic activation” of the flashlight or if you have problems with the feature, you can also switch on the flashlight manually at any time. If you play Remnant 2 on the PS5 or Xbox Series, you can easily turn on the flashlight by using the directional pad up. If you play Remnant 2 on the PC, you can activate the flashlight with the L button.

  • PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series: Press up on the directional pad
  • PC: Press the L key on the keyboard

By the way, if you want, you can also change the key assignment for the flashlight and other functions such as the ping for multiplayer in the settings. To do this, simply call up the sub-item for the control in the settings and change the key assignment. Tip: This is how you can change the class in Remnant 2 and thus change the archetype.

ComboStrike GmbH ceases operations


The Berlin games marketing agency ComboStrike will cease operational business and part with almost all employees.

Well-known publishers such as Funcom, Blizzard Entertainment, Tencent, SEGA and Amazon Game Studios are on ComboStrike GmbH’s customer list: The agency with headquarters in Berlin-Mitte and a branch in Shanghai offers a comprehensive portfolio of services – from strategic consulting to media Planning through to influencer campaigns.

As of today it is clear: ComboStrike must cease operations. The insolvency proceedings at the Charlottenburg district court had already been opened at the end of July.


Managing director Christian Szymanski cites one as well as the reasons. Some projects were postponed or stopped completely, which resulted in a financing gap that could no longer be closed.

As a direct consequence, company-wide layoffs were announced yesterday – the majority of the last 40 employees were laid off. The Berlin subsidiary Nevaly, which markets a long list of influencers, is also affected. A core team will support ComboStrike customers in the handover process in the coming weeks.

The end of ComboStrike is another facet of the painful consolidation that the expanded games industry has been confronted with since the beginning of the year: It was only announced yesterday, Thursday, that the US game manufacturer Epic Games (Unreal Engine, ) had one in five jobs worldwide strokes. Projects and locations are also being put to the test at other studios and publishers.

Remnant 2 Timeless Horizon Open Door: Find Navigator’s Helm


What’s the deal with the facility in the Timeless Horizon area? How to open the locked door in the timeless horizon and where to find the navigator helmet there? A few days ago the new Soulslike shooter Remnant 2 from Gunfire Games was released and the game, like the first part, is very popular. In the worlds there are so many areas to explore and challenges to master. This includes not only fights against numerous opponents, strong elite opponents and bosses, but you also have to solve a few puzzles and find hidden entrances. In this guide we show how to open the door in the Timeless Horizon at the facility.

Find the Navigator’s Helm

  1. The navigator’s helmet can be found in a small hiding place, which can be reached via one of the “booths” from the facility.
  2. Under one of the three punches (which always move up and down) is a hole you can climb through (see screenshot). Incidentally, you have to be quick here in order not to be leveled to the ground.
  3. After jumping into the hole, you can walk down the pipe and pick up the ring of the detonator first. Continue exploring the area below and you’ll get the Navigator’s Helmet from a Navigator Zombie/Alien (see screenshot). You don’t even have to pick up the helmet, the helmet ends up in your inventory immediately and can then be equipped as normal.
  4. After you have collected the helmet, continue and at the back you will find a switch with which you can open the door from the other side. Once opened, the door can be used or entered again at any time.

There are also other puzzles in the timeless horizon, such as the boxes lying around (coffins?) and a spaceship. More on that shortly.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth: The Mog House is back and this is what awaits you there


In today’s live stream Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Fans were briefly delighted: the Mog house was briefly visible! The creators showed a gameplay presentation and were on their way to Kalm when the Mog house suddenly appeared in front of them. No time for that, you joked and continued walking.

However, they came back to it later. In the original, the Mog House was nothing more than a mini-game in Gold Saucer. In Final Fantasy VII Rebirth you will obviously encounter it in the wide world. Various Moogles seem to live there and as the creators later reveal, there is also another mini-game waiting for you there.

  • Deluxe Edition at Amazon*
  • Steelbook Edition at Amazon*

But this time it’s not about feeding the moogles. At least there was no mention of it. In a very short sequence, Cloud was seen running around in this mini-game, dodging small bombs that Moogles throw. You’ll be able to find out the rest yourself in the game!

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will be released on February 29, 2024.

How to hide Telegram stories


Telegram welcomes stories: a moment of celebration for some and sadness for others. The latter, with special suffering because Telegram displays pending stories in a rather intrusive wayoccupying the entire top bar of the interface when we see our chats.

If you don’t like Telegram stories, you can hide them, but not with a magic button. we tell you how you can make telegram stories disappear of your life.

Hello and goodbye, Telegram stories

After updating Telegram to version 9.7.0, you may have gotten a surprise in the form of circles with the profile picture of one of your friends. Tapping on them opens the stories they have posted, just like in basically any app like Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, or WhatsApp.

The problem is that this is displayed at the top of the app and too distracting, even as you scroll through your chat list: it’s always visible. The good news is that you can hide them so they stop bothering you. The bad news is that you have to hide them by contact: there is still no option to hide them all in one fell swoop.

What you have to do is a long touch on the history circle and choose Hide Stories (u , when they translate it). Repeat this with each story that appears on Telegram and when there is no pending story, the top bar disappears.

The method is somewhat more manual than we would like, but taking into account that creating Telegram stories is for now a premium featureit is possible that not many of your contacts are creating them yet, so it should not be difficult for you to hide the stories from all of them as soon as they post something new.

Besides, you can continue to see their stories from the chat list itself, by tapping on their profile picture, as well as from their own chat. The only thing that changes when you hide your stories is that you won’t see them in the top bar.

Steps to Free up Hard Drive Space on Macbooks

Are you struggling with hard drive space on a Macbook? Macs are great in how they perform in addition to their reliability. However, some users are frustrated with the lack of available storage on a hard drive.

This frustration usually stems from a lack of data management experience. Tendencies to hoard files on a computer can get out of control, and it is important to understand that you need to be more careful and take a different file management approach.

This article provides solutions on how Macbook users can clear up space on their hard drives. Create a proper file management strategy by taking the steps below.

Step #1 – Delete Unnecessary Applications

Look at your list of applications and see which of them can be removed. It is not efficient to keep apps you no longer need, especially when looking to free up disk space.

It is also possible that some of your applications are running in the background and consuming system resources. Reducing the number of applications would also free up system resources and improve computer performance in addition to freeing up disk space.

Step #2 – Get Rid of Temporary Junk

Buy cleanup utility software and use it to regularly remove junk files, like old system backups and app extensions. The sheer number of temporary files is a hindrance to the system’s performance. And since these files are invisible and can be accessed by changing the system’s settings, having a cleanup utility tool that automatically does the work is a more efficient option.

Removing junk data regularly will give you more free drive space and enhance the overall performance of the Macbook.

Step #3 – Scan for Malware

Check your computer for potential malware. A virus may be eating away drive space without you even realizing what is happening. If you notice fewer gigabytes of free space every time you check the hard drive status, the chances are that a cybersecurity threat is behind the problem.

Scan the system and eliminate any infected files. If the problem repeats itself in the future, get a better antivirus, and change your browsing habits – switch to a virtual private network and avoid clicking on questionable URLs.

Step #4 – Remove App Language Files

Language pack files come with some applications, and it may surprise you how much space language data needs. If an app supports more than 50 languages, then these files can be as large as one gigabyte.

In most cases, people need only the English version, meaning that there is no real reason to keep the other 50 or so language files.

Step #5 – Check Duplicates, Email Attachments, and Downloads

Redundant files like duplicates could also be taking a portion of your hard drive. Make it a priority to get rid of them. And speaking of priorities, download and mail folders might also have more files than you expect. Check these two regularly and delete files that you no longer need.

Step #6 – Transfer Data to Clouds

Dropbox and iCloud offer free storage services. And if you are happy with the services, there is an option to expand available storage and upgrade your plan for a monthly subscription that costs a few dollars.

You can access data in clouds on multiple devices that are synced. Moreover, you can view text documents or pictures directly – there is no need to copy them to a computer. Lastly, Dropbox and iCloud are known for their safety, so you can rest easy knowing that your data is in a good location.

Step #7 – Get External Storage Devices

External storage devices like DVDs and flash sticks are relatively cheap. For example, you can even purchase second-hand flash sticks because they still work and are fine for keeping files. Some people might find transferring data from external storage to computer bothersome. Still, if you want to keep files without deleting them, external storage devices are one of the best options.

Step #8 – Reinstall the Operating System

A fresh start is what your computer and hard drive might need. Reinstalling the operating system can be a bit problematic when you lack experience, but there are plenty of guides for it online. As a last resort, you can ask someone to do the work for you, or take the Mac to a service store and ask the staff there to reinstall the OS for you.

Step #9 – Consume Media on Streaming Services

Streaming services have become the go-to method to consume media. Many different platforms allow people to watch movies, TV shows or listen to music with just a few clicks. And the best part about streaming services is how they eliminate the need to keep large media files on a computer. Therefore, if you subscribe to services like Netflix or Spotify, you can rest easy knowing that there is no need to keep movies, TV shows, or music on your Macbook’s hard drive.
